summoned to Con n ay last Saturday by a
telegram informing him of an accident to
|? v his brother. The accident happened |
" while the young man was operating a
swinging saw. The rope broke and the
saw cut a deep gash in his left thigh, exposing
the artery. He is getting along
very nicely, and the only danger lies in
the possible bursting of this large artery.

of the postmaster is $1,300.
A large barn belonging to Mr. D. W.
Shealey^ situated at his slaughter pen just
below town, was destroyed by lire Monday
night about eleven o'clock. It is not
known how the fire originated. The building
contained a lot of fodder and peavine
hay, and the whole was totally consumed.
The bam was practically a new structure,
and cost $400. The forage was worth
about $25, and the insurance was only
$200, so Mr. Shealey's loss is $225 at least.
It is doubtful if be could get tne oarn
built now for the amount of its original
cost.
I can fit you in under suits from three

W. D. Rhoad.
This is a good year, and everybody seems
to be prosperous and to have plenty of
money, yet our collections have not been
as they should have been, considering the
good times Many of our subscribers
have paid promptly, in fact a large majority
of ou r list promptly renew and pay
in advance without any sort of notification.
We have a few, however, who need '
to be notified, and we have been too busy
this fall to pay much attention 'to colLections.
We are still very busy, and it 1
takes lots of time to send "out bills. So
we will adopt another plan which takes (
:>nly a little time. We will this week mark
the papers of those whom we want to pay
jp with a blue pencil mark. This notice .
s not intended as a dun, and no one
whose paper does not have this blue .
nark need not pay any attention to it. ,
We have quit putting general duns in the .
:>aper, for we always miss those for whom
t is meant. But the blue mark on your {
japer is a dun, and means that we want '
ind need the money you owe us. .
The Federal Election. j
The Republicans did not cut much fig- |
ire in the general election in this county.
The regroes took absolutely no iuterest,
ind very few went to the polls. The total
rote in the Federal boxes for the county
ivas 891, and of this number J. 0. Patterson,
the Democratic nominee for congress,
received 865, while Isaac Myers, the Republican
candidate for this office, received
only 26. The total vote for presidential
electors was 891, and the Democrats received
868 and the Republicans 23.
If the vote for congress in the second
district stood elswhere as it did in Bamberg,
we do not see how it is possible for
Myers to make a contest.

Death of Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Sallie E. Wilson died last Thursday
morning at the home of her niece,
Mrs. G. M. Tolly, in Anderson, after a
short illness. In fact it was not known
that she was seriously ill, and the news of
her death came as a shock and a surprise
to her relatives and friends in Bamberg.
Mrs. Wilson was a daughter of Mr. Joseph
Cobb, who for many years before the war
operated a historic hotel at Pendleton.
She was an aunt of Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg,
of this city.. In her girlhood she
was married to Capt. Julius Smith, of
Williamston, at one time captain of Gist's
Rifles in the Confederate States army. He
was killed in battle, and she afterward
married a Mr. Wilson. The only child of
her first marriage is Col. W. G. Smith, of
Orangeburg.
The body was brought to Bamberg on
the five o'clock train last Friday afternoon
and interred by the side of her husband
in the old cemetery. Mrs. Wilson
had made her home in Bamberg for several
years, and even after the removal of
Col. Smith to Orangeburg, she paid extended
visits to relatives in this place.
She had many friends in this community,
to whom her many fine qualities had endeared
her, and there was much genuine i
sorrow over her death. Mrs. Wilson was
68 years old. She was a member of the
Baptist church, and Rev. T. E. Lightfoot,
of Orangeburg, conducted the services.
Col. W. G. Smith and family, of Orangeburg,
were over to attend the funeral.
'A Box of Monkeys."
The young ladies and gentlemen comprising
the Bamberg Dramatic Club are
at present busily engaged in rehearsals
for the laughable farce-comedy, "A Box
of Monkeys," which they will present next
Thursday evening (Thanksgiving Day) at
Folk's new opera house.
The play is one which is sure to attract,
and the earnest way in which these
young folks have gone about preparingfor
its presentation insures a creditable
amateur performance.
The play is to be given for beneficent
purposes, the money to be used by the
Epworth League. Prices of admission
will be within the means of all, and seats
will be put on sale next Monday. '

Thad Rising, 9 years old, son of Mr.
Andrew Rising, living opposite the Dillon
cotton mill, Dillon, was dangerously
shot on Tuesday evening. He had been
out hunting with a youug man who had
an old gun that was not considered safe.
Just as they got near home, in attempting
to remove the shells, one barrel exploded,
and the little fellow, who was a

wound is a fearful one, from which recovery
