NEGRO CLERK'S IMPUDENCE.
Government Employee at Washington Writes
Love Letter to White Woman?Promptly
Dismissed from the Service.
; The Washington Post of Saturday says:
Because he addressed a love letter to a
young white woman, a clerk in the census
office, a negro clerk named Ferguson was
suspended yesterday by order of Director
North, pending an investigation. The
letter was dated and mailed on Thursday,
and was received yesterday morning.
Efforts were made to prevent publicity
of the matter. Director North admitted
that the negro had at once been suspended,
but he would make no further statement.
The letter was referred to Mr.
North immediately, together with a statement
by the chief of the division in which
Ferguson is employed, but Mr. North said
last night that he had forgotten the woman's
name. Mr. McCauley, chief of the
census office, also said he did not know
the name of the woman, although he had
a conference with Director North about
the case.
So indignant and insulted was the recipient
of the negro's letter that she was
taken ill, and was excused from office for
the day.
k In the letter Ferguson declared his
admiration for the white woman, and asked
to be allowed to present to her a gold
chaih and brooch. She at once laid the
letter before her chief, with a demand to
be protected against further advances on
the part of the colored clerk. The chief
made an immediate report to Director
. North who promptly suspended Ferguson,
r "There was no proposal of marriage
contained in the letter," said Director
North positively last nigut, -nor was any
questionable proposition made. The man
tendered the woman the offer of some
jewelry. I cannot say anything more
abqut the letter, as I do not think it would
be in the interest of the public service to
do so. The matter will take its routine
course of discipline. To publish the
woman's name would bring disgrace
upon her, which I am sure that she
would feel keenly, and I do not desire
to have her brought into the case. Besides,
I heard her name but once, and have
forgotten it."
Ferguson is a mulatto, and was appointed
from Alabama. He draws a salary of
$1,200 a year. He called last night at the
residence of Director North with a view
to offering an explanation. Mr. North
declined to see Ferguson, sending word
that he would not attend to official business
at his house.

DEATHS AT EHRHARDT.
Mrs. Dora Clayton and Miss Hattie May Copeland
Succumb to the Grim Destroyer.
Eiirhardt, December 5.?Mrs. Dora
Clayton, wife of Mr. Phillip Clayton, died
December 2,1903, from an over dose of
morphine, at the age of 20 years and 11
months. When quite young she joined
Carter's Ford Baptist church and died a
faithful member. She leaves to mourn
her death, father, mother, three sisters,
two brothers, fond husband and little
daughter, and a host of friends. The
funeral service was held at Carter's Ford
church last Friday at 11 o'clock a. m., by
Revs. P. E. Monroe and S. P. Chisolm.
Mav God comfort the bereaved familv.
Hattie May Copeland, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob F. Copeland, died December
3, 1903. after an illness of over three
months. Her suffering was intense during
this time and even before, but she bore
it with patience. Her death was caused
by a rising on her leg which began to
pain her last March. The pain became
more and more intense until about two
months ago the place was lanced by Drs.
Copeland and Roberts. This seemed to
relieve her, but she grew weaker every
day until the afternoon of December 3 she
was taken to her heavenly home. Nothing
that a loving family and attentive
physicians could do was left undone. It
was God's will that she be taken away.
She was 18 years, 1 month and 27 days
old, just blooming into beautiful womanhood.
At the age of 12 years she joined
Mt. Pleasant Evangelical Lutheran church
and was faithful unto death. The funeral
service was held at Mt. Pleasant church
December 4, at 4 o'clock p. m. by Rev. P.
E. Monroe and her body laid to rest in
the church cemetery. May God comfort
the bereaved family, and grant them the
consolations of His grace. M.
The Hunter's Chapel Road.
The chain gang has moved from off the
Barnwell road, where it has been at work
for several weeks, and is now in camp on
Mr. E. G. Hays's place below town. Work
has begun on the new road leading from
this place to Hunters Chapel, about which
there has been much discussion recently.
The gang is at work in the bay below Mr.
John Felder's house, and they will finish
up the Batnberg end of the road first.
This new road will be rather an expensive
one to build, but it cuts out the heavy sand
beds and will be a good hard road.
Missionary Society Meetings.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society will hold its regular meeting
Tuesday afternoon of next week, the loth,
at four o'clock, at the residence of Mrs.
G. Frank Bamberg. A full attendance of
the members is requested.
The Young People'^ Missionary Society
will meet in the Methodist church Saturday
afternoon, the 19th, at four o'clock.
uom 01 mese societies were to nave met
this week, but they were postponed on account
of the bazaar.
Town Taxes Reduced.
At the regular monthly meeting of city
council, held last week, the matter of fixing
the tax levy for city purposes for this
year was taken up. It was decided to reduce
the levy from six to three mills, as
many of our tax payers expected this to
be done when the tax of three mills was
voted for the new graded school building.
Council is trying to carry out the wishes
of the citizens in this matter, but we are
afraid the income of the town will not1
be sufficient to pay ordinary expenses
and make some permanent improvements, i
However, it is well to try the reduction
for a year or so and see how we get along.
There are few towns in the State which
have as low tax rate as Bamberg.
Notice to Confederate Pensioners.

" What!" said the lawyer. " You have
sworn this place has the reputation of being
a 'poor shop' and yet cannot tell of
any one you have ever heard say so?"
The witness was staggered for a moment
at the words of che lawyer. The lawyer
was feeling triumphant when the witness
gathered himself together and quietly remarked,
addressing the lawyer: "Well,
rou have the reputation of being a poor
Lawyer, but I have never heard any one
say so."
" And what, my dear little boy," asked
;he minister, strictly in accordance with
precedent?"and what do you intend to be
kvhen you grow up?" "A farmer, sir."

turning to the third. "A preacher," sir,"
'The best of all, my little boy; the best

food is far worthier either than filling the
mind or body. And what bids you to become

the boy.

other two defendants.
The case of Abram Ancrum, charged

charged with whipping his daughter so
severely that she died from the effects.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
The grand jury finished up its work
Tuesday afternoon and made the following
final presentment:
To Hon. R. 0. Purdy, Presiding Judge:
We desire to make the following presentment:
All bills handed us by the Solicitor
have been passed upon and returned to
the court.
All offices have been examined, and we
find them well and neatly kept.
A committee visited the county chain
gang and reported that the convicts were
well cared for.
We find that Magistrates Fender, Reid
and Copeland have filed their returns according
to law, but that Magistrate Lightsey
has filed no return since March and
that Magistrate Ray has not filed any returns
this year.
The county attorney advised that all
dockets were in good shape when examined
and receipts were shown for all
fines and costs called for by said dockets.
The grand jury having heretofore reccommended
that suitable cases for holding
papers, books, &c., be purchased and
placed in the offices of Clerk of Court and
Probate Judge, and find that same have
been purchased, we now recommend that
our Senator and Representatives make
provision in the appropriation bill at the
next session of the general assembly for
the payment of same, which is $300.00 and
interest.
It is within the observation of this
body that the Miller Lumber Company
has obstructed theBigSalkahatchie River
within this county, to the detriment of
the public, and we respectfully ask that
some steps be taken to remedy this great
wrong.
We"thank the Court and officials for
courtesies extended. Respectfully submitted.

Foreman.

NEWS FROM WOFFORD COLLEGE.
Improvements During the Past Few Years?
Baseball Team to be Organized.
Wofford College, Spartanburg,
S. C., Dec. 7.?The signs of activity which
are noticeable on every side here at Wofford
college, are only an index to the real
life which is being put into the working
of the institution. On every occasion,
when crises in the life of the college were
pending, these crises were passed favorably.
Several years ago it was quite clear
to the friends of Methodism in this state
that their institution of learning must
either advance or decline, especially clear
was this to that loyal alumnus, Mr. W.
E. Burnett, of Spartanburg, and today a
modern, well-equipped gymnasium stands
on the campus. Two years ago at the
opening of the college, there was a handsome
brick building nearing completion,
this is now the Wofford college fitting
school, and by it stands the alumni hall,
replaced several years ago after being
destroyed by fire.
And now there is still another building
nearing completion, the John B. Cleveland
science hall, a magnificent structure.
The old college towers, which have been
so clearly seen from nearly any position
6f the city for fifty years past, have at
last been shut off from sight to those
coming up North Church street, the dome
of the science hall is now the object which
invites the attention of the passerby. And
the main building itself has not been
allowed to decay and become dilapidated.
Last year the old chapel was transformed
into a handsome auditorium with a seat
ing capacity of one thousand. Steam
heaters and electric lights have been placed
all through the building. And thus
with these improvements and this advancement,
together with an addition of
two members to the faculty, Wofford now
stands ready to give an education to any
one who is desirous of obtaining it.
The baseball team is now beginning to
engage the attention of the student body.
Captain W. D. Burnett is very hopeful and
promises to put out one of the very best
teams the college has ever had. Mr. Burnett
has played on the team for the past
three years and is an experienced player;
his sure aim and a strong arm have made
him known in the state as a splendid player.
Of last year's team all of the players
are back except Capt. A. M. Brabham,
of Bamberg, whoplayed third base; W. K.
Greene, of Greenwood, the fastest second
baseman in several states, both of whom
were lost by graduation, and Mr. M. S.
Wiggins, the catcher who is at Sewanee.
Mr. Bishop Isom, the first baseman, also
failed to return. Captain Burnett will
probably change from short stop to second
base, Glaze and Brabham, center and left
fielders will probably go to the infield;
Durant and Cleveland will do the pitching.
The other positions will be filled by
new men. Dates have already been asked
for by several colleges and universities,
among those which will be taken on are:1
Sewanee, University of Tennessee, Clemson,
University of Georgia, Furman,
South Carolina.
The regular fall gymnasium exhibition
took place last Friday night in the Burnett
gymnasium hall. There was a.large
crowd present and all seemed to enjoy
the exhibition.
COUGHING SPELL CAUSED DEATH.
"Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years, choked
to death yesterday morning at his home,
in presence of his wife and child. He contracted
cold a few days ago and paid
little attention to it. Yesterday morning he
was seized with a fit of coughing which
continued some time. His wife sent for
a physician but before he arrived another
coughing spell came on and Duckwell died
from suffocation."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

When Mary Led the Hymn.
I used to go to church and sit, .
Entranced, to hear the singing;
My soul upon the waves or it
Seemed ever upward winging,
I did not heed the organ's peal,
The bass, or tenor slim;
The alto's voice was but a squeal,
When Mary led the hymn.
Her pure soprano, high and clear,
Seemed like a song bird trilling;
It fell on my enraptured ear,
My veryheart strings thrilling.
The world, and all its load of care,
Seemed far away and dim;
The pearly gates of heaven were there,
When Mary led the hymn.
But now, when Mary lifts her voice
To lead, I must dissemble,
1 The sound that once made me rejoice
Now sets me all a-tremble.
I sometimes beg of her to cease,
She will not hear my pleading,
At such sad times I know no peace,
For I'm the -'him" she's leading.

Drank or Crazy.
Last Thursday night, some unknown
party entered the Patriot office, broke
|-open the desk drawer and stole its contents.
We seldom have much money and
we never leave it over night in the desk
drawer, much or little. Consequently the
thief got no cash. He got a check for
$2.00, a note and mortgage for $8.00, our
city and county tax receipts, registration
certificates and our quarterly passes
! over the Bowman & Branchville and the
C. & W. C. railroads. The fellow who
did it must have been drunk, crazy or
i both. A sane robber would not bother a

i *' Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer."
The secret is out and Bamberg can go
i on living just as if the riddle had never
I been asked.
No, it can't either. Bamberg is not going
to be what it was before. Its houses
are going to be brighter; its people a
little more prosperous?they are going to
have some money left to buy other things
with.
The answer to the riddle is this: You
can paint a building with fewer gallons
of Devoe lead and zinc paint than with
mixed paints, and it will wear several
times as long as a building painted with
lead and oil mixed by hand.
There is proof abundant of it all over the
United States. Tliere will soon be proof
abundant of it in Bamberg.

of their money?

Piedmont Mills Won't Curtail. f|
Greenville, December 7.?Accordinj^^B
! to reliable information, gathered heffe||9
from mill sources, none of the cottod;^a
manufacturing establishments in the Piedmont
section will be forced to curtail pro^>J?
duction on account of the high price o?^M
the raw product. So far as can be ascer-v^
tained the local mills will not be repre-^r|sB
sented at the meeting in Charlotte to-'|
morrow, the object of which is to de-f ^
crease the amount of manufactured goods.' - ii
Invitations came here, but as neariv all
of the mills have cotton they will continual!
to run as heretofore.
One of the mill presidents said to-day ' '^
that there was no reason to apprehend-:^?
danger in this section. Practically all of ^
the mills have cotton, he said, and cer
tainly they have enough to run for several; 3 Jg
months at least. We are not inclined
take part in the Charlotte conference, be^v Jgj
case we are not short on the staple.
There is much cotton in the local war*../-g
house which has been stored by fanners
for future delivery. Some of the farmers -:
here are holding on for 15 cents.

The Care of the Face.
Any well presented series of articles on ;$'>
personal beauty is sure to attract attention
but "The fountain of youth," by Dr. Grace ?
Peckham Murray, the introductory paper : -i
of which appears in the January DeUn- ' $?
eator, will reeeive more than passing notice.
There is an urgent need of such a ?
scientific treatise, simply and enlighten- M
ingly presented. The practical modern * ^
has 'discovered that the use of reason and ;
prosaic methods is sufficient to preserve sgj
the looks and strength of the years of If
prime, bat most women lack a proper $
understanding of the methods. Dr. Mnr- ;vf
ray's article on the face, accompanied v
with striking illustrations, treats the sub- ' p
ject in detail and is essentially practical. '
Women who are in search of, or desirous J
of retaining, good looks will undoubtedly . / *
derive great benefit from it.
