THE BAMBERG HERALD. | Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. CM THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1905 One Dollar a Year||| THE STORY OF CALVIN CROZ1ER. Tom Dixon's Book Recalls the Brave Fellow - Murdered at Newberry. "The story of the noble self-sacrifice of Calvin Crozier," said Rev. M. J. Epting, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, yesterday, deserves to be widely known and is of especial interest to Savannahians, inasmuch as the man whom he saved was the father of Rev. A. J. Bowers, the predecessor of Dr. W. C. Schaeffer as pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension." The story of- Crozier has been brought to recent notice by the statement made by TVawibb nivnn the onthnr that, it 1XL1. JLUUUIOO X/1AUU, vuv uu?uv>) was this incident which furnished him the basis for his new story, "The Clansman." An account of his statement of the affair appeared in The Savannah Morning News yesterday. Rev. Mr. Epting, who lived for a nnmber of years at Newberry, is well acquainted with the facts, and in discussing the incident yesterday said, among other things: "Calvin Crozier was a Confederate soldier from Texas, and not from North Carolina, as was stated. For some reason he was delayed in his return to Texas and reached Newberry on Sept. 8, 1865, some time after the cessation of hostilities. Under his care was. a party of ladies, and the party decided to spend the night in a box car. "Late in the night some colored troops, a part, I believe, of the Thirty-third United States Regiment, under the command of Col. Trowbridge, intruded themselves into the car and began making themselves very unpleasant. One of them finally put his arm about the neck of one of the ladies, and instantly Mr. Crozier sprang at him and ordered him to desist. "The negro leered at him and again made an attempt to throw his arms about T?<<ton?ltr PPA7i'or stmrV (UC JUUIi^ lOUJ, luotauitxj VI u<uv> WW* at him with a small pocket-knife, the only weapon at his command, and slashed him hadly. The negro ran screaming from the car and reported the matter to the other negroes in his regiment. "Shortly afterwards the negroes in great numbers returned to the car for the : v v purpose of securing revenge? Not knowing Mr. Crozier, they seized upon Mr. Jacob S. Bowers, the father of Rev. A. J. Bo were, and, despite his protests of innocence, were preparing to execute him. "Mr. Crozier learned of the state of af, fairs and at once went out and informed H the negroes that he was the man who had * J : . done the cutting. Mr. Bowers was at once turned loose and the hero was led into an . adjacent grove and shot down, without even the formality of a drumhead court \ martial. His body was thrown into a shallow grave, dirt thrown over it, and &i . then the negro murderers danced upon the little mound. "The annals state that Col. Trowbridge, the white officer in command of the negroes, refused to interfere in the lynching and that he afterwards stated that he took upon himself the entire responsibility for the affair. One officer went to Crozier. after he was bound, and begged him to say that he was not the man. To this the brave fellow replied, 'Loose me, and I'll show you whether I'm the man or not.' "There were few white men in the country at the time," continued Mr. Epting, 'and nothing could be done to save the life of this heroic defender of womanhood. Later the citizens of Newberry removed the body to Rosemont cemetery, ' tKe city burial ground, and over his grave have erected a white marble shaft on which is recorded the facts concerning this hero's death.

It is bat a short distance from the railway station, and to this day it is pointed to as marking the death place of a true soldier and a brave man. "The first story of the tragedy that I recall was written by Dr. E. f*. Setzler, now dean of the English coarse at Newberry college. Dr. Setzler was then a postgraduate student of the University of Virginia, and his story captured the first prize in the contest in which it was entered. I still have among my files of The Stylus that story, and shall always keep it because of the incident with which it is associated."?Savannah News. A Plain Case in Conrt. ' A law-maker from Maryland contributes this story about a Judge who once presided in the district in which Crisfield, the great crab producing town, is located: A man was on trial for murder and the evidence was so palpably insufficient that the Judge stopped the case and ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. A well known lawyer, however, who desire to do something to make a showing for the fee he was receiving for the defence, claimed the privilege of addressing the court. "We'll hear you, Mr. Hastings," said the judge, "but in order to prevent accidents we will first acquit the prisoner." STRAIGHT FACTS.

Dennis Wood, a white man, is in jail at Greenville, charged with murdering his wife last Thursday. He is said to have beat her first and then shot her. The city of Gaffney has had two months of prohibition, and her citizens are much pleased at present conditions. It would be hard to muster a corporal's guard to vote the dispensary back there. The O'Neal Street Methodist church in Newberry was burned Monday night about ten o'clock. The fire is supposed to have originated from the furnace. The loss is $4,000, with $2,000 insurance. The mayor of Greenville has issued orders to the police to close every gambling joint in that city. He says hereafter he will send gamblers to the chain gang, the question of accepting fines not being considered. The store of John Fitzmaurice, a dry goods merchant in Columbia, was destroyed by fire last Saturday night. The stock was worth $30,000, with insurance of $19,000. The stock of a dry goods store next door was badly damaged, as was also a shoe stock. A white boy, sixteen years old, has been arrested in Charleston, charged with setting the many fires which have occurred in that city recently. About $30,000 worth of property was burned in the fires claimed to have been set by him. It is said he has confessed. The Minw store, one of the largest department stores in the city of Sumter, was destroyed by fire Monday night. The loss is about $20,000. Mr. Carson, secretary of the company, was cut by falling glass as he entered the building to get out the books. The Darlington Light and Water Company has sold its plant to a Northern syndicate which is buying the water and light plants in many towns of the Pee Dee section. This syndicate will operate plants in Marlon, Mullins, Timmonsville, Darlington, and other places. A young woman was attacked by a negro on the streets of Darlington while ' -innf going noLue num uu eiatcx^ juqh ai^i dark on Monday. A noise in a nearby dwelling frightened him away, but he left his finger marks on her neck. He was hunted by bloodhounds, but was not caught. At a negro funeral in Columbia last Sunday the hearse was ?drawn by fifty negro men. The streets were covered with ice and so slippery that horses could not keep their feet, so a rope was attached to the hearse and it was drawn by members of the order to which the dead negro belonged. Court is being held in Hampton this week, Judge D. A. Townsend presiding. Mr. W. 8. Smith is acting solicitor in place of Solicitor James E. Davis, who is, in Columbia at the engrossing department of the legislature. There are three murder cases to be tried, all being negroes. Two white men have fceen convicted of breaking into a box car. In a drunken row between several white men and negroes at the Kaolin' mines near Langley, in Aiken county, last Saturday afternoon, one negroi was killed and several badly wounded. One white man will die from his wounds and others are seriously injured. It is said the white men were drunk and started*the trouble. Several whites and negroes have been arrested and put in jail at Aiken. There is a bill in congress to provide another Federal Judge for the upper counties of South Carolina, a new district to be created. It is said the bill will pass, and the South Carolina delegation have conferred with the president as to the appointment of a judge for the district.

Cochran, of Anderson, a Republican, will be an applicant. Pranks of a Cyclone. Some men are terrible liars. In writing of a cyclone one of them said it turned a well inside out, a cellar upside down, moved a township line, blew all the staves out of a whiskey barrel and left nothing but the bung hole, changing the day of the week, blew the hair off of a baldheaded man, blew a mortgage off a farm, all the cracks out of a fence and knocked the wind out of a preacher.

Senator Carmack tells this story of a colored man who called on him for legal advice at Columbia, Tenn. The elder of his church had advised his wife to get a divorce from him, and the negro asked: "If a elder come foolin' roun' you all's house mixin' up trouble' advisin' yo' wife f'r to git a divorce, what'd you do?" "Take a shotgun and kill him, most likely," replied young Carmack. "Kill him-kill a elder? Den what de law do?" - "Oh, hang you probably." For a full minute the negro was silent. Then in great disgust he turned to go. As he shuffled along down the steps . he j turned a perplexed eye on the lawyer and said: "For the Lawd's sake Mr. Carmack, what so't attorney is you anyhow?" GRAYE TROUBLE FORESEEN* It needs but little foresight, to tell that when your stomach and liver are badly affected, grave trouble is ahead, unless you take the proper medicine for your disease, as Mrs. John A. Young, of Clay, N. Y., did. She says: "I had neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened, and I could not eat.

Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, February 6.?We have had some cold weather ever since last Friday afternoon. It commenced sleeting then and all Saturday continued to sleet and rain by turns, all freezing. Everyone that walked out, walked carefully, and then some of .them fell without stumbling. They did not mind the falling as bad as others laughing at them when they would fall. A voung man in town had a queer experience the other night. Called on his best girl, and she gave him "old harry" before he left. Upon inquiring why she was so vexed, she told him he had not brought any candy along to sweeten his countenance with. Mr. Edgar Jones has returned to Lodge, from the up country, where he has been at work in a depot, to prepare his land for planting Irish potatoes for the market. He says it is too cold for him up in Laurens, but says there is not much difference down here. The dispensary must have done a good business Saturday, judging from the drunk men on our streets. If some of them would use half of the energy to get money to pay accounts for supplies for their families that they use in getting money to buy whiskey with, our merchants would all be in better shape and happy. ' I All of the contractors want money on1 their liens this year. They say they I must have some to run their business, j The merchants are not in shape to give them much money on their liens, especially as they want it. Money is the first thing they want, the next is a bottle of "fussy X;" then they are happy and ready to make things disagreeable when they reach home. . , The hunters had better be careful how they shoot birds, especially around the public roads, or they will hit a drummer. Don't think I ever saw so many in so short a time; some days 'more than a dozen come to our town trying to sell their goods. As a general thing our merchants are buvinsr very small bills, and money will be very tight with them if they can't get eight cents or more for their holdings of cotton. Mr. J. C. Westerlnnd was eating beef soup for dinner Sunday and swallowed a piece of bone. It pained him so that he sent for Drs. Roberts and Copeland, but they could not get the bone. Hope it will not prove serious with him. Rural Route No. 2 leaves Ehrhardt office now in the afternoon in place of morning, since the first of February. This gives parties their daily papers so they can read them at night, and is much more satisfacory to all on the route. Route No. 1 will we hope be enlarged so as to take in the McMillan section. They are preparing a request to be added to the route. C. Ehrhardt has erected two new tenant houses, and will soon commence a third. Mr. J. H. Fender was in town one day last week on business. He is wide awake for his farming interests this year. Mr. W. H. Kinard went to Charleston last week to consult thfe advice of a phycian; returned Saturday. Mrs. Rachel Fender, wife of Mr. G. Calvin Fender, was buried at Mt. Pleasant grave yard on last Friday. She had not been ill very long. She was a good wife, a loving mother, and a kind neighbor, and will be greatly missed in our neighborhood. Jee. Boiler Exploded. T rvrv-CTfiv R P "RVh 1. A Vfirv sad accident occurred about one mile from) the city of Lexington today. A large boiler used for drying brick exploded; one-half of the boiler was thrown about 150 yards and the other half was thrown i about 75 yards and completely destroyed the shed cowing the brick. There were about 5000 brick in the kiln and they were torn to atoms. The two men operating it were knocked down and badly scalded. One of them has his right arm broken and the other has one of his legs broken. It is not thought either will live. L. E. M. Smoak. Entertainment at Ehrhardt. Ehrhardt, February 4, 1905.?Dr. H. W. Bays, of Charleston, will deliver one of his humorous and instructive lectures in the Ehrhardt Methodist church Friday evening, February 17th, commencing at 8 o'clock. Admission, 25 cents; children, 15 cents. On Wednesday following "The Old Maid's Triumph" will be rendered here by Harleyville talent. The play was first given there during the Xmas holidays, and the praise the young people received has encouraged tnem to snow atamereni places. They will play at St. George the 17th and at Ehrhardt the 22nd. They come by invitation of Mrs. J. L. Copeland, and as friends of hers,sheasks the people to welcome them. The play is really excellent. Admission, 25 cents; children, 15 cents. Let there be good crowds present at both of these entertainments. The proceeds are to be used for a good cause. BLEASE, DISPENSARY BUSTER. Was "Tamed, So to Speak," in Very Short Order?Gossip in Sumter. We have had an interesting talk lately with a gentleman who has recently had < some business in Columbia, and who has spent much time around the State house. : From him we learn more about certain matters than is told in the daily letters and the daily reports of the legislative proceedings. * . 1 We are told that when Senator Blease 1 early in the session offered his resolution looking toward the dispensary investiga - ..L ? ???,J ?,3 lion, mat tut; iuuiui wo? uuavcu aiuuuu that he and H. H. Evans had quarreled. It is to be remembered that Blease and Evans are from the same county.' However, a few days ago, when the Brice bill was up for consideration, Blease made the fight against it. That Thursday, when the Raysor-Manning bill was up, that Blease again led the fight against it, and that part of the time Evans was standing just behind Blease's chair, which is on the rear row. Furthermore, we are informed that early in the session Evans was seen around the State house but very little; but now, since this bill has passed, he is there all the time. He hopes to kill it in the house and now in the lobbies he is always talking in his loud, slap-on-theback manner to the members, and he is hobnobbing with them at the hotels. Our informant added: "I cannot swear that he is this year sending liquor to members as presents; but I^know he has done it in the past, and I do know that this year he is drinking with members within the State house." From the source that this came there can be no doubt as to'its truth. The Raysor-Manning measure will do more to | parity tne aispensary sysiem. man any ! act ever proposed. It must become a law. j Is the legislature of the State of South Carolina going to allow this act to be defeated by the corrupt power of one man? Is it??Sumter News. Death of L. F. Bamberg. Mr. L. F. Bamberg died in Columbia Tuesday after a short illness. Grippe was the cause of his death. He has been making his headquarters in Columbia for some weeks, and a letter was received from him by his wife Tuesday morning, saying that he was sick but not seriously, and for her to come up. She made preparations to leave on the evening train, but in the meantime came a 'phone message giving the news of his death. The body arrived here this (Wednesday) morning on the ten o'clock train, and the burial took place at the old cemetery at four o'clock this afternoon, Rev. W. T. Duncan officiating. Mr. Bamberg was the only son of the late Capt. Geo. P.lBamberg, and was about 35 years old. He married a daughter of Mr. H. C. Dickinson, and leaves a wife and two children, as well as mother and sister. The news of his death came as a great surprise to every one, as the fact of his sickness was not generally known. Harried in Allendale. Allendale, February 2.?Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock Mrs. H.F. Allen, of this place, was married to Mr. Fred T. Bruce, of Atlanta. The marriage took place at the residence of Dr. A. A. Patterson, brother of the bride. The Rev. W. C. Kirkland performed the ceremony in the presence of a few near relatives of the bride. The bride and groom left on the 5 o'clock train over the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway for Atlanta, their future home. The Charleston and Western Carolina I Railway has put on another passenger train between Augusta and Yemassee. Going east it passes Allendale at 12:27 a. m.; west-bound at 4:54 p. m. This train carries a Pullman sleeping car and connects with the Atlantic Coast Line West India Limited at Yemassee. This gives Allendale twelve passenger trains daily. The ginnery operated by Mr. J. H. Howlett caught fire on Saturday, but the flames were soon put out. They damaged the gin and cotton to the extent of $150 or $200, fully covered by insurance. Miss English Tillinghast, of Beaufort, la viflitinc Dr. Alfred Patterson. Miss Pearl Spain, of Lexington, is on a ! visit to her sister, Mrs. R. L. Zeigler. The low price of cotton and good school advantages of Allendale are causing a good many of the farmers to move to town, and just now it is impossible to rent a dwelling in town.

Tillman, C* Jr., has returned from South Carolina, where he was with his father, who is ill, . ' $ and who is said to be threatened with paralysis. The senator has not been in ^ robust health for a long time, and his Washington friends feel that he is worse ;J| off than he will admit, being a man of determination not to give up until the 3|| worse comes. When the senator was first a candidate fjgg for governor of South Carolina, he was a . :'S| sufferer from an acute stomach trouble, which rendered him well nigh an invalid. ; But by sheer determination, sick man that * :yM he was, he went on the stump and made ^|| one of the liveliest campaigns that South Carolina has ever known. He grew stronger under the stress of it, and emerged from the fight almost a well man. Since then he has enjoyed good health until lately. He attributes his improvement largely to the excitement of the ' campaign and to the fact that he ate but two meals a day. It is rather more than interesting to ^ notice the standing that Mr. Tillman is acquiring in Washington. Age and service '??. , in the calm, deliberative senate have ^ i served to tone him down, and to polish vjSg off the rough edges that he brought with him, until now he is a very different man from what he once was. Where he waa once regarded as hasty, ready to say * Spjj anything that had the right sting of wmp cracser 10 it, ana ready to boil over like a volcano without regard to the dasuage or the good it did, he has become a ^ deliberate thinker, and as such one of the : half a dozen' Southern senators who mfoy be picked as.the ablest men on the Dem~ ocratic side. :: The change that the years have brought ci > is so noticeable and so gratifying as to be occasion of a great deal of commenthere : in Washington.?W.
