THE BAMBERG HERALD. 1 Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1904 One Dollar a Year ;||?1 IN THE PALMETTO STATE. INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS '' * KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. t State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men * ^ and Happenings. The Southern Baptist convention will establish a home for the children of missionaries. It is to be located in Greenville, and a residence has been selected. ? * Judge Parker has declined to come to Charleston to the proposed ratification meeting in his honor, and Senator Tillman also cannot be present. Other speakers will be invited. A sort of general row occurred at a campaign meeting in Florence county last Wednesday, in which one man was severely stabbed and his head badly cut, while another had his nose broken. The cause of the row was politics and whiskey. Mr. B. C. Fanner, of Allendale, committed suicide at the Carlisle hotel in Union county last Thursday by shooting ^ himself with a pistol. The dead man left a note asking that his father at Allendale be notified. No reason is assigned for the act. Henry Jones, a negro, was hanged at ? Pickens last Friday. He killed a young * white man at Easley some months ago, who was acting as constable and gone to arrest him. Jones on the scaffold warned - V the negroes against tye possession and > * use of fire-arms. A negro named Spencer Barnes was -1? J o nAirrn f>hllrfll TiPftr I bliUl 2UIU ikiiicu aii a uv^*v vum* v** Edgefield last Wednesday night. There was a sort of free fight going on and ? Barnes tried to act as peace-maker and was shot by two brothers named Holloway. The negroes made their escape. 5 Elijah Wood, a farmer near Ridge Spring, was given a teaspoonful of carbolic acid in water by his son and died t shortly afterwards. The boy gave the dose by mistake, he seeming not to understand the directions of the doctor, who told him to put the acid in water and apply to his father's foot for poison oak. Butler Holt, the white man who was ' f \ arrested for the murder of the mysterious white woman in Columbia, but who was supposed to be is wife, has been released from custody, as his wife is alive and well. She appeared in Newberry last f week, where she had come from Bath, and the authorities then released Holt. The murder is still a mystery. Solomon Roberts, a negro whose home i is at Easley, while attempting to board a moving freight train at Wellford, in Spartanburg county, Tuesday morning, slipped and fell under the boxcar, the wheel severing his left leg. He was in 1 the act of grabbing the ladder at the rear * end of the car, when his hold slipped and he fell. His leg was amputated below the knee. A section of the front beach on Sulli? f van's Island washed away at four o'clock last Friday morning. No houses were destrovea, but the cave-in came within 25 ^ feet o| two residences. The excavation made is 30 to 50 feet deep and covers an area of 100 by 150 feet. The channel of the jetties is thought to have caused the cave in. There is some excitement among residents of the island. % Magistrate R. L. A. Smith, of Hickory Grove, York county, shot and killed a negro man about 10 o'clock last Thursday night. The negro attempted to drag Mr. Smith out a window of his house and almost tore his shirt off. He warned the negro away but he came again at him, when he used his shotgun with fatal effect. The negro was said to have been insane but Mr. Smith was not aware of it. Carlyle McKinley, chief editorial writer of the News and Courier, died at his home at Mount Pleasant last Thursday, after a long illness. He was the author of "An Appeal to Pharaoh," an argument for deportation of negroes to Africa which attracted much attention and which first ^ appeared anonymously and was attributed to Henry W. Grady and others. It was warmly commended by the late Sir Henry M. Stanley in a personal letter to the author. Some of his poems have been f % widely quoted. He was a distant relative of the late President McKinley. The body was carried to his old home in Lexington, Ga., for burial. In Sumter county last Thursday R. C. Folk, a magistrate, was killed by W. H. Seale, County Supervisor. Reports had been circulated about Folk's docket, and his brother went to Seale's house to see him about it, they having heard that Seale had circulated the reports. This Seale denied, and it appeared that the matter was about to be amicably settled when Folk called Seale a liar snd drew his pistol. Seale attempted to disarm Folk and in the scuffle over the pistol it was discharged, the bullet going through Seale's coat and entering Folk's head. He died a few hours later. Folk's brother attempted to shoot Seale, but was prevented by Seale's son. These were the only witnesses. The cor-! oner's jury returned a verdict that Folk | "came to his death by a gunshot wound j inflicted at the hands of parties unknown," v as they were not certain in whose hands the pistol was when it was discharged. EVANGELIST WHIPPED BULLV. Then Had Him on the Front Bench at the Meeting That Night A Methodist minister of this city tells the following story about the late Sam Rozel, the great Virginia evangelist, who in his day, was one of the best known pulpit orators in the South. "Sam Rozel was a very big man and had a wide reputation for physical strength. In his college days he came off the field of combat, usually a circum scribed and secluded area or tne campus, wearing the laurel of victory on many occasions, and after he became a preacher stories of his physical prowess were spread far and near. "One day he went to a village to hold a protracted meeting. The village blacksmith, who v as a very big man, and who was recognized, especially among the tavern habitues as a pugilistic wonder, heard about the coming of Rozel, and the villagers did not fail to tell him all they had heard about the size of the parson's arm and the length of his legs, and of the convincing way he had of closing an argument with his fists. "All this nettled the smith considerably, so when Rozel reached town he sought him out and asked him to fight. * "Rozel, of course, said he did not want to fight; but the smith kept on insisting and finally Rozel became angry and agreed to gratify the fellow. "They fought. Rozel literally wiped up the ground with the big man. When he had pounded him until the poor, vanquished bully was gasping hard, Rozel picked him up and threw him over the fence. "The blacksmith had not said a word since the affray began, up to this point. As he rolled over on the other side of the fence, however, he called out: " 'Say, parson, kindly throw my horse over, too, I'm going away.' "But Rozel followed the man to his home, and had him sitting on a front bench at the meeting that same night singing louder than any one else."?Baltimore Sun. It Was Badly Jumbled. While Secretary Hay was in the country one summer an important piece of official business was pending, relates the Argonaut, and he arranged with Washington that any news that might arrive concerning the matter should be telegraphed to him in cipher. Day after day he waited, but no telegram came. One morning, happening to go to the lonely little telegraph office, he said to the operator : ' "I suppose you have received no dispatch for me ?" "Why, yes, sir," the operator replied; "there was a dispatch for you the other day, but it was ali twisted and confused, and I couldn't make head or tail of it, so I didn't think it was any use to send it up to you." Enough Said. An eminent lawyer received a severe reprimand from a witness whom he was trying to browbeat. It was an important issue, and in order to save his cause from defeat it was necessary that the lawyer should impeach the witness. He endeavored to do it on the ground of age, in the following manner: "How old are you?" asked the lawyer. "Seventy-two years," replied the witness. "Your memory of course, is not so brilliant and vivid as it was twenty years ago is it?" asked the lawyer. "T nnt tnnw hut. ir. is." answered the witness. "State some circumstances which occurred, say 12 years ago," said the lawyer, "and we shall be able to see how well you can remember," "I appeal to your honor," said the witness, "if I am to be interrogated in this manner; it is insolent!" "You had better answer the question," replied the judge. "Yes sir; state it!" said the lawyer. "Well, sir, if you compel me to do it I will. About 12 years ago you studied in Judge 's office did you not?" "Yes," answered the lawyer. "Well, sir, I remember your father coming into my office and saying to me, 'Mr. D?my son is to be examined to-morrow, and I wish you would lend me $15 to buy him a suit of clothes. I remember also, sir, that from that day to this he has never paid me that sum. That, sir, I remember as though as it were yesterday. "I see the Russians have decided to win by tiring the Japs out." "Yes. I once knew a man who thought he'd do that with a bulldog that had secured a grip on his leg. But he finally decided that it would only be wasting time."?Chicago Record-Herald. IN PRAISE OF CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY. "Allow me to give a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says, John HamIptt nf Pass. Texas. "T suffered one week with bowel trouble and took' all kinds of medicine without getting relief, when my friend, Mr. C. Johnson, a merchant here, advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose I felt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third dose was entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great remedy in the hands of mankind."

J ' 1 The Many Advantages Enjoyed by Pupils?A t Strong Faculty, Literary Societies?A Model j Christian School. ( The Carlisle Fitting School at Bamberg { is one of the two great preparatory schools . of Wofford College." Situated "in lower i South Carolina, it receives its patronage from that section of the State, giving the j people there an opportunity to prepare their children for college without sending them too far from home. The school is a gift, representing $25,000, from the generous, noble-hearted citizens of Bamberg, and it is named for Dr. James H.Carlisle, the grand old man of South Carolina, and stands as a fitting mark of appreciation for the great character that has* indelibly stamped its influence on every Wofford boy. So long as the Carlisle Fitting School shall last, so long shall there be a memorial to him who has given himself unselfishly to the noble calling of training the youth of our State. Our plan is to give students a strong foundation for college work. We try to inspire in them a zeal for learning, and a fond desire to finish at college. As our school is a gift to Methodist education from the generous people of Bamberg, it holds a warm place in their hearts. iTavpassed through twelve years of successful work, we feel that we have won in Carolina's school-system a place that cannot be filled by those schools not distinctly classical. Apart from our regular purpose of preparing for college, we have arranged a course of study that gives a ' good, practical education to those who ] may not be able to attend college. . Our course consists of four years: ! Junior, Intermediate, Senior, and Postsenior. The Senior class prepares for ( the Freshman year at college, while the Post-senior class prepares for the Sophott.a?

Algebra, Plain and Solid Geometry; Latin v ?Grammar, Cicero, 'Virgil; .Greek? tj Grammar, Anabysis, Composition; Bible, p Our Music and Elocution department is a in charge of a most competent instructor, g and a thorough, entertaining course is given to those desiring to take it. We t( advise all with talent to take this course. On a campus of about seven and a half . acres we have the school building, the girls' hall, the boys' hall,: and the Headmaster's residence. The school building , proper contains four recitation rooms, a music room, two societv halls, a library. and a chapel. The library was presented ? to the school by Gen. F. M. Bamberg, ? and certains about 1,000 well-selected : volumes. Every pupil is required to do a ? j certain amount of reading from the li- ^ brary. ' The Kilgo Literary Society for the boys r and the Sheridan Literary Society for the girls are comfortably housed in well-fitted halls, and they are considered an indispensable part of the school work. Each society is presided over by a teacher. No student is excused from joining a society. c It is the aim of the institution to develop in the individual student the sense of <3 personal responsibility for good order and a high standard of scholarship, and to secure in the largest measure his co- 8 operation with the faculty in the development of his own character to that of f a perfect Christian with the highest conception of duty. The govern ment in the boarding halls is that of the home; for 1 students are allowed no privileges or liberties other than those granted in any well-regulated home. Every effort :1s t made to provide for the comfort and health of the boarding pupils; the tables are supplied with an abundance and a i: variety of good, wholesome food, and everything is under the supervision of t competent matrons. A professor lives in each hall, and the government is kind but 13 firm. b The Carlisle Fitting School is a Chris- p tian school?one in which the spiritual and moral influences are positive and assertive. The students have organized a a young peoples' prayer meeting in the s school, which affords a means of active n Christian effort on their part for the welfare of their fellow-students. The boys c have organized a Y. M. C. A. among themselves. This association is independent of the young peoples' prayer meeting, and it is officered and managed pntirplr hv the bovs for theii mutual ben-1 ? J - - ^ efit and help in their religious life. Stu- J dents are required to attend Sunday- ' school and preaching service on Sunday r mornings, at such church as their parents 1 may designate. Bamberg has three church- jj es, Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian, 11 all near the school. <3 On the campus is ample playground, ^ where the boys find exercise in baseball ' and other games, and where the girls have 1 their games. Proper oversight is given ] to all students in their outdoor life. The * uealth of our student bod}- for the past / :ew years has been most excellent. Ev- I jrything in our power is done to devel)p our students physically as well as menally and morally. No student is permit- S ed to drink water except the pure water :rom our flowing well on the campus, and u this way the one danger of living in ^ he low country has been removed, and 1 he health record of Bamberg is far better han most country towns even in upper Carolina. Our expenses have been reduced to the ollowing exceedingly low amounts: Tui- C on, $32.00; contingent fee, $1.50; board, p - *- * -It Al- .r?rv AA m t_ ? - d euner nail, per moniu, $y.w. me ci>enses here enumerated are guaranteed. _ incidental expenses are what each student * nakes them. Boj s and girls should be I leld responsible to parents in their inci- d lental expense account. Economy is tself in part an education. By our plan )ooks are furnished at less than publish- * jr's price. Ten percent, discount allowed >n tuition, if two pupils attend from the r ;ame family. If you have a boy or girl not ready for tVoffordor Columbia college, send him f )r her to us. By our study system and nethod of teaching, we advance twice as apidly as the graded school. This is ilainly seen when our advantages are j;onsidered. Ouf student-body is above ;he average and our grading is higher. 1 With us certain hours must be given to ^ studying, during which time there is no t aoise to interrupt, and the pupil has the advantage of an instructor's advice after laving honestly tried and failed on a les- J son preparation and needs help. There } ire no outside duties to interfere. The ralue of an education lies in the mind- c ;raining received, and it is difficult for iny one to get opportunity for real studying at home. If you wish to save time i md money, you can not do better than to 8 )iace your cnna wnere ne can get tne jest physical, intellectual, and moral ;raining for the least money and in the 1 east timet. This we offer you. ; For further information write to Hugo \ jr. Sheridan, Headmaster, Bamberg, S. C. Arrested at Branchville. 1 Branchville, August 25.?A man sup)osed to be Adams, the Colleton county f uurderer, was arrested here this morning, >ut it was found after reaching here that i1 le was not Adams. He gives his name v ,s James W. Smith and says that he was aised at Hicks," Ga., but left there sev- n ral years ago, and has been travelling in ^ he West and South since; he says he J aarried Anna Perkins of Hernando, Miss. e; ut has not heard from her in several a ears. This man is a very suspicious b joking character, and some think that ^ e has committed some crime and is hid- h: ag out. He says he worked for Bill a] [enry at Olar, S. C., this year. He has s! een working at a negro saw mill near ere for the last month, and the negroes r< rith whom he stays and associates (he rill have nothing to do with white peole,) look upon him with fear and suspi- ^ ion.

Rising at four the a lext morning, she rode ten miles by stage, nd then went by train to Watertown. At hat city she engaged a room at a hotel, c ,nd took her case in hand. She instituted c aeasures, that, to say the least, may be e ailed strenuous.

In the first place if you have decided to" '' jractice law in South Carolina, the ad vanage of going to the South Carolina coL ege is conspicuous. There you will form '$& .^gjg issociatiorfs and ties that will strengthen 7 on throughout the State during your en- . yJHS ire life. Should you wish to enter upon ' U^aBsgS i political' life, you will have staunch JS||| friends in every town and hamlet of the State?friends in all the professions and walks of life, and friends who are alive ||H|9 ;o a keen appreciation of what it is to be '.%aB4|8 \ true and high-toned politician?a poli;ician in truth and not as the name is now ;oo often, with reason, interpreted to sigaify. ^ In the second place, Columbia is an ideal place for a law school. It is the : capital of the State, and its central situs- >*S?| tion makes it easily accessible from all parts of the State. During the' winter students have ample opportunity of atfrjA&mgjm ing the practical working of government, , legislative, executive, and j udicial. Here . are held annually two terms of the Supreme Court, three terms of the Circuit' 'rejjff&a Court, and two terms of the United States Circuit and District Courts. Lectures are delivered to the law classes by eminent ijmjmm members of the bench and bar. During : $ ; ^ the session of 1903-1904 lectures were de- '?j| livered in the following order by, Asso- -.;j| ciate Justice Eugene B. Gary (two);:'^^p^ United States Judge Charles H.
