THE BAMBERG HERALD. | k Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1904 One Dollar a Year ||jn IN THE PALMETTO STATE. > N INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men ^ and Happenings. The Supervisor of Chesterfield county, Smith Oliver, was badly cut on the throat w -w "RotoiifFp last Fridav. The fight ?f XI. iWVVi4*4v w w j grew out of a trivial matter. Oliver's condition is serious. One negro shot and killed another in Newberry county, near Chappell's last Saturday night, a double-barrel shotgun being used. There appears to be little or ^ no motive for the killing. The murderer escaped. The celebrated McDaniei murder case was tried in Lexington again last week and a verdict of not guilty was rendered. McDaniei killed the town marshal of Swansea in December, 1902, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. Appeal was taken to the State supreme court and a new trial was granted, which resulted as above. Noah Brownfield, a negro shoemaker, was shot and instantly killed in front of * his shop in the city of Greenville last Saturday evening by Robert Holmes, a negro painter. Family trouble was the cause of the killing. A pistol and five loose cartridges were found lying nearby the body when the police arrived. The weapon used was a double-barrel shotgun. Robbers broke into the postoffice at Kingstree last Thursday night and blew * open the safe. They secured about $5,000, which included a registered package of money sent from Charleston that (fay to the bank of Kingstree, It was undoubtedly the work of experienced safe crack? ers, and they have not ,as yet been captured. The robberj' was not discovered until the next morning. Efforts are being made to have Governor Heyward commute the sentence of Hoyt Hayes, the Oconee wife murderer, who is to be hanged on the 14th of Octo? ber. Counter petitions are being circulated. The one asking that he be given life imprisonment bears more tnan wo names, while the one asking the governor not to interfere has over 500 signatures. This shows that public sentiment in that county is much divided. / 4 Mr. R. M. Pierson, former!}-of Walterboro, was killed in Savannah last Saturday night by a fall from a trolley car. He stepped off and missing his footing fell backwards and struck his head on the vitrified brick pavement. He never regained consciousness and died about midnight. t Mr. Pierson was to have been married this week to Miss Leah Westendorff,and was in company with his bride-to-be and her mother when he was killed. George W. Taylor, a photographer, of Bennettsville, committed suicide last Thursday morning by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. He had ? been drinking heavily for some time, and imagined that parties were hunting him to kill him. The night before in bis bed room he made ugly wounds on his throat and over his heart with a knife. Friends were trying to take care of him when the act was"committed. He was about thirty years old and unmarried. A traveling man named Ralph Wells died in Columbia last week from blood ?2??? -"VirtK -ocnlto/l from a hlow r>n * i 4 pUJSUUlUg, nuivu ivoutvv. \ the head with a soda water bottle. The deceased quarreled with an unknown man in a drug store at Clyde, N. C., several days before and was struck on the head. The wound was slight, and he paid little * attention to it at first. Wells was the son of a prominent physician at Murphy, N. C., and his body was sent there for burial. He traveled for a Columbia house Rev. William Aiken Kelly, a miuister | t of the South Carolina conference and in i charge of the Methodist church at North Augusta, mysteriously disappeared last Friday a week ago. Nothing has been heard of him. He married a daughter of Dr. J. A. Clifton, now at Orangeburg, and his wife is prostrated with grief and has been brought to her father's home, Dr. ; V Clifton going to North Augusta for her last week. Mr. Kelly was worried over financial matters it is said, as his charge was building or had recently built a new church and a large debt on it was comiDg due in a short time and he saw no way to pay it. This is not the first time Mr. Kelly has wandered away. He was buildv * ing a new church in Sumter a few years ago and wandered away, being found a few weeks later in New Orleans. It is said that his friends had been much worried over his mental condition for several weeks before he disappeared. A negro named James Stuart was lynched by Laurens county citizens last Friday night after being brought across the river into Greenwood county. Friday . * afternoon he attempted to assault a fourteen-year-old daughter of a Mr. Hughes. Two daughters were picking cotton near the house, and the negro was also picking cotton not very far away. Mr. Hughes had gone to a ginnery ana Mrs. nugnes >. to visit a sick neighbor. Knowing that the girls were alone, the negro secreted himself in the cotton house and attacked ? the youngest girl when she came to empty her cotton sack. She screamed and her sister came running to her rescue, when the negro desisted without accomplishing I % his purpose, although he threatened to I, kill the girls if they told of the occurrence. As soon as their parents arrived the girls told the story, and soon afterwaras two young kinsmen of the Hughes's went to the fiela and caught the negro. He admitted his guilt and said he knew ? * the penalty was death, that he did not know why he attempted the crime. He was carried over the river and shot. The body contained only one bullet. Percy Crews, a white man, was shot and killed in the suburbs of Columbia last Saturday by J. F. McDonald, also white. , Crews was a plumber and his slayer a painter, and McDonald accused Crews of stealing money out of his coat pocket. Both men were at work on a new residence and so was the father of Crews. The two Crewses required McDonald to apologize, which he readily did, saying he ; had been too hasty, and it was thought the matter was settled. A little later f * young Crews and McDonald got into ra fight and McDonald shot Crews in the back of the head, the wound causing death a few hours later. McDonald was arrest v ed and is in jail. r.

IX PRAISE OF CHAMBERLAIX'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 Hamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas. "I 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 put ting this great remedy in the hands of mankind." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy ; H. C. Rice, Denmark. Card of Thanks. To the Democratic voters of the Second Congressional DistrictI beg you, one and all, to accept my sincere, ray grateful thanks for the great honor you have given me?the nomination as the Democratic candidate for Congress for the Second District of South Carolina. A commission to represent you in the most distinguished deliberative body in the world is the highest gift within your bestowal and carries with it an inseparable weight and burden of responsibility that enlists and steadies every sense and purpose and prompting of human ambition to be equal to its duties and demands, and to prove deserving of the trust. I repeat and reaffirm in this quiet hour every pledge and promise of faithful, unselfish and untiring service in your behalf made during the primary campaign. I shall be as far as in me lies the power the representative in fact as well as in name of the entire people of the Second District and as its united Democracy will at the election in November forget the differences and disappointments and animosities of the recent campaign and give me a solid support, so I will blot from my memory all but the growing recollection and appreciation of your confidence. As the soldier.on the battle line thinks of the home and the loved ones there waiting his return, I shall remember that I am to stand and speak and labor for the civilization and prosperity of the noble men and splendid women and children of the Second District. I ask you to remember that I am and will be one of you and one for you, and that I shall at all times be glad to receive the assistance of your suggestions for the public welfare. With my best wishes for peace in all your hearts and prosperity in all your homes, with the firm faith that the Providence that rules the affairs of nations will preserve our beloved Southland in the hidden future as in the troubled past, I shall so strive to bear myself that you may give me the richer reward of your approval when I shall come and give an account of my stewardship. Yours very truly and sincerely, J. O. Pattertox. SOUR STOMACH. When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, aour stomach is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let five hours elapse between meals, and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eatiyg. take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and the sour stomach may be avoided.

The United States authorities made no effort to hold Bennett, the Hampton county man, wanted in this State on tbe charge of killing his wife and also of Violating the conditions of his pardon. A hearing was held in Atlanta last week, the result of which was that Governor Terrell decided to honor the requisition of Governor Heyward for Bennett. Attorney General Gunter represented this State at the hearing, while Bennett was represented by an attorney named Colding, of Savannah. A penitentiary guard went to Savannah Tuesday and brought Bennett back to Columbia, where he will be placed in the penitentiary. He will be tried at the next term of court in Hampton county on the charge of murdering his wife, and until this case is concluded nothing will be done about violating the gardon. Bennett is down-hearted over eing brought back, and says he had just as soon be dead as to be put in the penitentiary again for life. Letter to G. E. Bamberg, Bamberg, S. C Dear Sir: The usual way to buy paint ip to take the lowest price by the gallon. Mistake; the buyer loses by it; how much? Depends on the paint; it is so much a gallon, or so much a year. How much a gallon or year, do you think? As much perhaps, as the total price of the paint. It may take twice the number of gallons. N Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two houses both exactly alike. He painted one with Devoe and one with another paint. Devoe 6 gallons; the other 12. Go by the name: Devoe. There's nothing cheaper. Go by the price; there's nothing dearer, except .not painting at all. Poor paint is better than none. What does it cost not to paint at all? Can't figure it out exactly; say a tenth of the building a year, besides looks. What, is noor Daint worth, then? Don't know and don't care; you don't want it. Go by the name. Yours truly. 63 F W Devoe & Co. FROM 148 TO 92 POUNDS. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was cured by use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me I ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this remedy cured me of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by H. F. Hoover. All over the Sta'e farmers are complaining over the scarcity of cotton pickers. In Greenville a Sunday-school class went out and picked all day and will give the money to missions.

DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered some years ago how to maku salve from witch hazel that is a specific for piles. For blind bleeding, itching and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, bums, bruises and skin diseases, DeWitt's salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.

The Spartanburg Herald states that a rooster is carina; for a brood of chickens V in that town. We know of a good many roosters that have to care for the chicks while the old hens are perambulating the streets looking at the latest fall fashions,, e etc. ij C The trustees of a school district in Saluda county advertise for afemale teach- E er, one that is not pretty. Surely the day t of the pretty school marm is passing away. 3 P A man was arrested the other day while d trying to gain an audience with Presi- s dent Roosevelt. He said he had been to e heaven in an automobile and had a mes- n sage for the president. Perhaps old Go- ii liath has sent a challenge to the famous c Rough Rider for a fight. d Woman suffrage is bound to go now. t A prominent woman suffragist delivered a an address in Pennsylvania the other day, i: and among other things, said: "If the s men do not recognize our right to polit- t ical suffrage, the women should retaliate by refusing to cook for the men. In this t manner the men will soon be brought to t time and will recognize a woman's pow- c er." This is rather cold comfort for the t poor benedicts, but they should prepare 1 for the inevitable. If this strike is in- i augurated it will not be long before our e offices will be filled by women, the rail- 1 way cars will be operated by women, and t we will see women building railroads, ( climbing poles and stringing telephone i and telegraph wires and taking every- < thing generally in tbeir hands, while the t men will be engaged in burning bread, ( breaking dishes, patching old clothes and < scraping diit from the children's faces. ? An exchange says a new game called "camegaiheacht" has been invented for < the ladies in London. Why not call it 1 "seven-up" when it reaches this country? t It is said that an A frican king will visit 1 Washington during the winter, and no i doubt his majesty will dine at the white s house. 1 A Republican paper speaks of Pre9i- 1 dent Roosevelt as "a wise and safe ruler." J Well, he may have wisdom but he is greatly in need of a safety valve to make ] him safe. t If the "overproduction" prophets could i see how the streets of Bamberg are pack- ? ed with cotton they would have some < cause for predictingan overproduction of ? the staple this season.

K Tk ti'* ' TTING SCHOOL OPENING. /elcome Addresses?Large Enrollment?Strong a Faculty?Outlook Most Prosperous. c On last Wednesday morning this most t xcellent institution in our midst began :s thirteenth session. Headmaster Hugo r. Sheridan read a selection from the t lible, which was followed by a song, and hen Rev. 31. W. Hook, pastor of the t Iethodist church, led in a very earnest irayer. Mr. Jno. R. Bellinger was intro- j ucea ac ine conclusion 01 me religious t ervices, and in an inspiring, appealing, loquent manner he welcomed every ( aember of the school into our midst, urg- !j g every student to choose the highest * onceptions of duty for an ideal, to J ievelop the three-fold man, to make 1 he most out of himself. Mr. Bellinger's alk was to the point, and fully appreci- ( ,ted by every member of the school. He 1 s looked upon as a warm friend of the '< chool, fully in sympathy with the great, t he noble work being done by this school. ? Rev. Mr. Hook was next introduced to 1 he new boys and girls?he needs no in- : roduction to any one who has been :onnected with the school since his pasorate here, for every one who thus knows j lim loves him. Mr. Hook was practical n his advice, earnest in his exhortation, eloquent in speech, sincere in manner, lis words sank deep into the hearts of all vho heard.him, and his hearty welcome extended in behalf of his church, and aersonally, met a responsive chord from every one. It is the great regret of all ; hat this is Mr. Hook's last year here, according to the rules of the Methodist ; church. He is a sincere friend of the school?a friend to every boy and every girl and every teacher. Headmaster Sheridan's words of welcome to the new pupils who have left aorne to come into our midst for the first ;ime, and to those old pupils who have aeen home for the vacation, were assuring, full of kindness, sympathetic, and kindly affectionate, making even the worst homesick boy feel that he had come to a second lome, and that in every teacher, matron, and member of the school, he had a warm friend who desire to do him good, to help aim. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Sheridan's emarks, the visitors were thanked for ;heir presence,the audience was dismissed, and the school organization begun. By low the school work is well under way, ( and every one is beginning to get ac justomed to the regular work and are , loing fine work. The attendance this year is good. Sixty >upils enrolled the first day, and others lave been coming in nearly every day iince. There are still others to come, and he present indications point to a rery profitable and most successful year. Some changes have been made in the i acuity. Profs. Sheridan and Owen renain from last year. Prof. Hardin takes 5rof. Redmon's place in the ancient language department, and Miss Maud Kerlaghan has charge of the music and elo:ution department. Miss Pet Stephens . vill not return. 1 It is useless to speak of Prof. Hugo G. Jheridan. For twenty-four years he has J >een teaching, and he has worthily borne he reputation made by his father and limself in their classical institute at 1 )rangeburg and their work here. All ( >arents may entrust their children to j lim with the full assurance that they are ' u the hands of one of the most competent eachers and most perfect gentlemen in * he State. Prof. W. C. Owen is a graduate of Wofbrd college, '03, is now doing post-gradlate work, and after a year of most suc:essful teaching, fully measuring up to his icholarly record in college where he grad- < lated as class president, having won dis- i iuction in every department during his < ;ollege course, he returns to accomplish < i most profitable year's work in his dejartment of English and History. During 1 he summer he took special work in these I iepartments. Prof. Owen returns with a ] nost excellent helpmeet in the person of j lis charming wife, he having joined the ' >rder of Benedicts during the vacation i leriod. He and Mrs. Owen have charge . if the girls' hall, where they, with Miss-, : 3essie Yarn, a most competent matron, : vill do everything for the best welfare of he ffirls. Miss varn is well-known in Samberg, having been matron at the boys' lall and housekeeper for the Cope hotel luring the past year. Prof. E. K. Hardin, Jr., a graduate of fVoftord college, '04, has charge of Greek tnd Latin. While at Wofford Prof. Hariin made a record of which any graduate vould be proud. He made distinction in til studies, completing a most remarkable ecord while in college, graduating as his :Iass president. Prof. Hardin is taking >ost-graduate work, and, though this is lis first year in teaching, he is so well itted that it is safe to predict a successful ear's work in his department. It will be ecalled that he won the State Inter-Colegiate oratorical contest, and as State epresentative at Monteagle, Tenn., this ummer he won second place, and would lave won first had not the rules been iroken in permitting an ineligible man o speak. Miss Kemaghan is a graduate of Co- t umbia College, '01, and has very success- j ully taught for the past two years. She omes with an enviable record as a stu- t ent at Columbia, and as a teacher, and j lready her pupils and all who know her ave been drawn to her by her charming lanner. All in all, this bids fair to be one of the lost successful years in the history of this astitution, an ornament and an honor to ur town. I \ I A Proposition.
