With a $10,000 graded I school building going up, and a $10,000 church and $7,000 warehouse being spoken of, it can truly be said that Bamberg is progressing. The building committee of the new Methodist church are not idle in the mat* ' terof erecting a new church edifice. Plans have been secured for a handsome brick building, to cost $8,500, and it is probable that this design will be selected. There is no doubt about it, the church is going to be built, and very soon, too. We are requested by Capt. J. B.

Mr. and Mrs. S. 8. Williams, of the Govan section, have the sympathy of their many friends in the death of their thirteen-year-old son, which occurred recently. Several weeks ago he was accidentally shot by one of his playmates, young Hutto, while out bird hunting, the load taking effect in the back of his head. He lingered for several weeks, and while his wounds were considered serious they were not thought to be mortal. But several days ago he grew worse, and although the physicians worked hard to save him, the end soon came. very annoying incident occurred with this newspaper last week. The house from whom we get our ready print sheets did not send us as many papers as usual, and in consequence our supply of papers gave out before we had finished our mailing list. This explains why several of our subscribers did not get their paper last week. It was one of those things we could not help, still it was annoying to no onr? wp tnnw the subscribers retrret ted missing their paper. We have Tried to impress it on the house that they must be more careful in the future. IK m PI.-:.' - ^ - ' . ' .. . S- ' * " V- v,. -'. Vv i'T.,v"* ' :* ; . ,-*v'*-T - A SAD DEATH.

Is it possible that there is no news ol any kind happening in any part of the county? This is the only reason we can assign for not hearing from our correspondents. We feel sure if they knew how much their tetters^were apprecuueu, that they would write once in awhile anyway. The alarm of fire was sounded about one o'clock to-day ( Wednesday) and it was found that the kitchen of Henry F Bamberg was on fire. It caught from the stove flue and a gcod-sized hole was burnt in the roof before the flames were extinguished. A crowd soon gathered, and it was put out before mucn damage was done. Nice line of sample umbrellas at W. D. Rhoad's. Mr. C. F. Rentz, of the Ehrhardt section, was in the city Tuesday.

T Aiken, February 2:1.?Last night, about t* 10 o clock, a negro man accosted a lady j on South Boundary street and, when she screamed and ran, he chased h er for sev ' eral hundred yards and also fired a pistol at her twice. The llady is Miss Kirke, s . Northerner, and is a trained nurse, whc a is treating a patient in a family of Bostor people here for the season. The familj have rented the Williams cottage on South Boundary street. Miss Kirke is spending the season at Mrs. Ashley's, about 30C ' yards away on the same street. Last evening was dark and rainy and after suppei a Miss Kirke left Mrs. Ashley's for the home ' of the patient, carrying a lantern to guide her. As she entered the gate to the Wil* liams place she saw a negro man standing beside the fence. Miss Kirke asked him ii . he wished to see some one and the man replied that he was waiting for his aunt, ' who was cooking for the family. Miss " Kirke passed into the house and left about [ 10 o'clock to return to Miss Ashley's as usual. There are no buildings between t the two houses, but the ground is covered with tall grass and some bushes. With the lady were two dogs, and as they passed a small clump of bushe3 they growled , and barked. The young lady turned , out into the road, and as she did so the light of her lantern revealed a negro mail peering from behind the | bushes. She screamed and ran and the negro called "Come here," she continued running and the negro called "Come here" 1 the second time, and when *she did not ?

The negro chased her for about; one hundred yards and then a young man at the house, hearing her screams and the firing, ran out and shot at the man several times. When the matter was reported to , the police this morning the premises were searched and tracks were found showing that the negro had walked around the ' Williams house and then went and hid . behind the bushes and waited for the lady . to return. No clue has as yet been found , by the police, but, of course, every effort is being made to capture him. Deatlli of Mr. W. W. Stewart. > The s&d news of the death of Mr. Wightman W.
