2rsr .. ... .... I TIE BiHBM HERALD ? Thursday, Aprii 14,1904 pi. ' Short Locals. The health of this city is remarkably good at present. Mr. W. H. Bamberg announces himself as a candidate for Coroner in this issue. It is said that Col. L. W. Youmans and - 1 1 ~ ~ ill of ITo 1 rfo V omers win exeut nu uu mm a? ?omua. The farmers in this county are busy planting and are well up with their work. C. J. S. Brooker, the hardware man, has I just received a large line of flower pots. Be sure and see them. The United States senate may be "the most exclusive club on earth," but they must have mislaid the blackballs lately. The congressional primary election is to be held on Saturday, April 23rd, and 4 the State convention is to be held in Columbia on Wednesday, May 18th. ' What has become of Bamberg's baseball cranks? As the ball season is on they should "get a move on" and prepare themselves to meet all challengers. The congressional campaign meeting for this county is to be held here tomorrow (Thursdav). A large crowd should greet Senator Mayfield in his home counMr. George H. Walter, a son of Capt. E. R. Walter, of the Fork section of Orangeburg county, graduated at the recent commencement of the Charleston Medical College. A full line of fine crackers at N. B. Felder's. Bamberg has the distinction of being situated on the oldest railroad in the United States. Perhaps it is one of the causes of her phenomenal growth and Ipruapei iiy. A mercantile agency publishes the fact that 84 per cent of the merchants who failed last year did not advertise. There ought to be a suggestion in this for those whom it concerns. With good schools, plenty of churches, unsurpassed health and all kinds of business enterprises, Baipberg's gates are open to all new-comers, to whom a cor-dial welcome isaccorded. A charter was granted by the secretary of State last Monday to the Farmers' Cotton Oil company, of Brunson. The capital is $20,000, and the officers are D. F. Moore, president; W. D. Barnes, secretary, and the Bank of Brunson, treasurer. I can sell you a nice hat and umbrella cheap. See my line. W. D. Rhoad. We can furnish The Bamberg Herald and Pearson's Magazine one year for $1.70, or for $2.00 we will give you both publications and your choice of a hand, some cloth bouud book, by a popular " author. The congressional campaign meeting will be held in Bamberg to-day. Let everybody turn out and hear the candidates and on the 23rd vote for the one who measures nearest up to the requirements j?- of the office. I 'Black Death,' sure death to potato ougs, ,1s but harmless to plants, at Dr. Hoover's. The State board of dispensary directors has decided to give to the city of Charleston her part of the dispensary profits ~ which have been withheld for several months. The amount the city will receive is about $5,000. ? ' Col. Jno. F. Folk, of this city, will not make the race for State treasurer this year, although he has had many inducements from prominent people in various parts of the State. He will stand for reelection as treasurer of Bamberg county. Fine line of tablets and pencils at W. D. Rhoad's. We stated last week that members of , the county Democratic executive committee had voted themselves a salary of one dollar for every meeting which they attended. We were mistaken in this I They are to get one dollar each per year provided the money is in the treasury. White and lace stripe lawns an<?swisses, worth 15 to 20 cents, at 10 cents. W. D. Rhoad. Rev. W. R. Richardson, of Spartanburg, editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, was to have preached in the Methodist church here last Sunday, but he was unable to come on account of the illness of his wife. He wrote, however, that he expected to be here next Sunday, the 17th. A full line of Lowney's loose chocolates at N. B. Felder's. A desperate negro prisoner tried to burn himself out of the Edgefield jail last Thursday night, but was suffocated before he accomplished his object. When the alarm of fire was given and his cell door opened he was found lying dead on the floor. Little damage was done, as the fire had only burnt a hole through the floor. Just received, another lot of those beautiful waist goods at W. D. Rhoad's. On account of the complications which had arisen in the matter of announcements of county candidates, we have decided to charge only three dollars. This course was decided oa, not because the work is not worth more, but because of 1 lack of uniformity in rates. We did not want any man to be debarred from running for office on account of the expense if we could avoid it. If those people who borrow this newspaper of their neighbors would only in- j vest $1.00 a year they would have an easier conscience and greatly increase our pr!- - - subscription list. In most cases it is not because they desire to save the dollar, but I?;' because of the cussedness that is in them. May God bless you, sponging reader, and soften your heart and loosen your pocket book, is the prayer of ye poof editor. 'Black Death,' sure death to potato bugs, but harmless to plants, at Dr. Hoover's. We are not making any apologies for the class of newspaper we are giving the public. Our ever-increasing subscription list shows that we are, to use a slang phrase, "delivering the goods." If, howfever, our friends and neighbors could make up their minds to be a little more friendly and a little more neighborly, and report social and local happenings to us, we could, perhaps, serve them a little better. Let us have the news and we will print it. We are equipped for that purpose and wish to serve you. A very pleasant meeting of Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held last Monday evening, at which the rank of Page was conferred upon Mr. William C. Owen, assistant Head Master at the Carlisle Fitting school. There were present several visiting brethren from the Ehrhardt lodge, whom we were delighted to have with us. A. W. Knight and W. D. Rhoad were elected as delegates to the grand lodge which meets in Greenville on Tuesdav, May 18th, with Dr. J. B. Black and Jt)ecania Dowling as alternates. * vr V . > r The spring poet is late in blooming this season. 'Black Death,' sure death to potato bugs, but harmless to plants, at Dr. Hoover's.

Building is going ahead on every hand. Senator Mayfield created a sensation at the Barnwell meeting Tuesday by charging that the dispensary influence was being used against him. There are not many people from the country attending court. Those who are here have business. Farmers are too busy to attend unless compelled to. In another column, County Chairman H. C.

Felder's The Ladies Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church will meet next Tuesday afternoon, April 19th, at the home of Mrs. G. A. Rice, at four o'clock. A full attendance of the members is [ earnestly requested. At the Bantist church in this citv there will commence a protracted meeting on the first Sunday in May. Rev. M. L. Lawson, the pastor, will be assisted by Rev. W. T. Tate, of Belton, S. C. Two services a day will be held, and the hours of assembling will be announced later. It is said that Governor Heyward is already being asked to commute the sentence of Adams, the white man from Colleton county, convicted of murder and sentenced to death. We trust the governor will not do anything of the kind. The man deserves his fate, and the sentence of the court should not be interfered with. Twelve men of his own race have found him guilty. Fewer gallons; wears longer; Devc e. There was no striking of sensational testimony in the case against John Love, the white man who was tried Tuesday for murder. All the evidence was circumstantial, going to show that he was last seen in company with Lucas. No quarrel and no motive for the killing was shown, and no pistol was found on Love or in his buggy, when he was arrested soon after the fatal shot was fired. Two white men testified to a negro running into the railroad car the same night and saying he had shot a negro: This is the same -story published in The Herald last week, going to show that a negro who was working on the railroad material train, killed Lucas, this train being in the siding at Denmark the same night.

The town of Branchville is making enthusiastic preparations for the laying of the cornerstone of the new Methodist church, and fifteen different committees of ladies have been appointed to look after the various details of the occasion. Dinner will be served by these good women, who will see to it that every one has a good time. A very large crowd is expected, and all efforts are tending to insure this day being the most notable in the history of the town. The stone laying ceremonies will take place at eleven o'clock Friday morning, the 15th instant. Bishop W. W. Duncan will be in charge of these exercises and will deliver an address. The Masons, Knights of Pythias, and Woodmen of the World, all of which have lodges in Branchville., will attend the cornerstone laying. At night the Branchville Masonic lodge will have a great occasion. The Master's degree is to be conferred, and Bishop Duncan will deliver an address to the assembled brethren. All the neighboring lodges have been invited to attend, and it is probable that a number will go from here. Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger will attend if his duties at the court will permit. Of course the usual banquet will be served, and the Branchville brethren say this will be the largest affair yet given. So we who have been there before snow what that means. ARE YOU A DYSPEPTIC?

WHITE MAN TO HANG The Appeal of R. A. Adams to the State Supreme Court Availed Nothing. The appealed case of R. A. Adams, a white man, for the crime of murder, was decided by the State Supreme Court last Monday. Associate Justice C. A. Woods confirmed the circuit court, which had sentenced Adams to be hung. R. A. Adams, the man who will now be again condemned to death, was indicted with W. B. Adams and Henry Hoff foi the murder of Henry Jaques. They were tried in March, 1903, in Colleton county, where the crime was committed, and W, B. Adams and Hoff were acquitted. R. A, Adams was convicted and sentenced tc death by Judge Ernest Gary, his execution to take place June o, 1903. A motion for a new trial made by his attorneys was overruled. Appeal was taken on -the ground that certain evidence was not admitted and that Judge Gary had not been sufficiently explicit in his charge to the jury. R. A. Adams and Henry Jaques met in the public road Feb. 11,1903, and Adams shot the other. On Jan. 4th, of the same year, in the yard of Adams, Adams had been shot by Jaques for alleged impropei language to some of the members ol Jaques's family. The issue on trial, says opinion of Justice Woods, was whethei Adams killed Jaques in self defense or in revenge. He deals with the exceptions made by the appellant's attorneys and finally affirms the decision of Judge Gary and remands the case so that a new day may be set for the execution of Adams. Justice E. B. Gary filed a dissenting opinion. This case was argued in the supreme court by Assistant Attorney General W. H. Townsend for the State, and Messrs. Howell & Gruber and J. M. Walker foi Adams. District Conference. The Orangeburg District Conference will be held at Springfield, S. C., May IS22. Rev. Geo. W. Davis will preach the opening sermon Wednesday evening at the usual hour of service, after which the conference will be organized.

Charleston, April 7.?John Sullivan, an employe of K Sotille, in this city, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by s dispensary constable last night. This is the first homicide of the kind in Governoi Heyward's administration. When the dispensary law was enacted Charleston thought it an outrage on the liberty of the citizens there, and the unwavering moral sentiment against the law has made its enforcement difficult. The barkeepers denied the right of license, continued in bnsiness in daring and flagrant opposition to the law, just as the moonshiners think the Federal law is unjust. There have been many clashes in Charleston, but heretofore no homicides at the hands of constables. Sottille is the Italian consul and conducts a care neai the postoffice. Sullivan and two negroes had gone tc Mount Pleasant, across the harbor, when the liquor in bulk seems to have beer stored. There ^hey were met by Con stables Owens and Hudson, who confis cated a boatload of liquor. Sullivan start ed to the city but came back and attackec the constables with an oar. It is statec1 that Hudson did the shooting, but botli constables'are in jail. Hudson had beer chief of police of Walterboro, Govemo:: Heyward's home town, and has a good reputation.
