THE BAMBERG HERALD. Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1905 One Dollar a Year IN THE PALMETTO STATE. INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. Nearly nine hundred thousand dollars' worth of property has been added to the tax books of Richland county this year by the auditor. The colored Baptist church in Biskopville was struck by lightning during a thunder storm last Friday afternoon and burned to the ground. A negro named David Grubcr was shot and killed in Charleston last Sunday morning about five o'clock by W. B. Herron, white. Gruber had entered and robbed the residence of Mr. Herron, and was being pursued when killed. A pension fraud has been unearthed in Colleton county, and the grand jury has presented several prominent citizens in connection therewith. Maybe pension frauds would be found in a* great many counties if a strict investigation was had. John L. McLaurin made a red hot speech against the dispensary ai jjiuou, m jlhiion county, last week, and his remarks were received with tremendous applause by th$ people. Au election is to be held soon in that county to vote out the dispensary. "Willis Lowe, a negro, was shot and killed at Bath, Aiken county, last Saturday night by a negro named Henry Evans, who at once fled and has not been captured. Lowe made a dying statement to the effect that he was trying to prevent a fight between Evans and another negro when Evans shot him. Harry Dean, of Spartanburg, has been sent to the penitentiary at Columbia, to stay (the remainder of his natural life. Dean killed Miller McKinney at Wellford two years ago and was convicted of murder with recommendation to mercy. Dean is only 19 years old, and his right hand is wilted, making him unfit for manual labor. He was only 17 years old at the time he killed McKinney. Tom Smith, a white man fifty years old, committed suicide in the Edisto'mill section of Aiken county last week by shooting himself with a shot gun. He was missing for several days, and was finally found in a Cottou field with a gun between his feet. He came from Alabama, and is said to have committed a crime there and had been hunted by detectives. A letter received by him a few days before made hira very despondent. The South Carolina Baptist, published at Greenwood, has been sold by Pittman * & Son, the owners, to Revs. V. I. Masters and L. J. Bristow. The transier is to taKe place next month, and it is said that the paper will be improved in many ways. Mr. Bristow is pastor of the church at Marion, and Mr. Masters is at present one of the editors of the Baptist Courier at Greenville. It is also stated that Rev. A. J. S. Thomas has sold his interest in the Courier. Jesse Nelson, the young negro who was arrested in Sumter last week for attempted assault, was given a speedy trial, and on Thursday he was found guilty and sen:. , tenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for thirty years. Nelson had escaped from the Clarendon* county chain * gang, where he was serving a sentence of six years for assault and battery upon an i<: old colored woman. The negro was positively identified, but he denied the crime all the way through. 1 He had only made his escape from the chain gang a few days before he attempted the assault on the white girl. "Woman's Home Companion. It is doubtful if a better lot of midsummer fiction was ever got together than that presented by the August Woman's Home Companion. There are no less than nine short stories, by such wellknown authors as Julia Truitt Bishop, Ella Higginson, Morgan Robertson, Seumas MacManus, and Otho B. Senga. But this unusual quantity of fiction has in no way curtailed either its departments or special articles. Among the former, that j of fashions, by Grace Margaret Gould, and "For Boys and Girls," by "Aunt Janet," are found in place as usual. Mrs. n '?4? 5V*ftfr?cr\r\ on AT rQ FT^r OSngSWr, 1U19.

The two remarkable pages of "pussy-cat" pictures from photographs mark the middle of the number. Among the special articles are "The Americanization of the Holy Land" and "When the Tornado Goes Skylarking," both strikingly illustrated. Others are "The American Social Invasion of England,""Notes from the Diary of an Employment Agent" and "There Ought to Be a Law."

The Unfair Sex. "Is this the post-office?" "Yes, ma'am. What's the name?" "Is this ttye part where people get letters?" "Yes, ma'am; please tell me your name." Is it necessary to tell my whole name . when I want a letter?" "I suppose uot. Are you expecting a letter?" "No; I want a 1 cent stamp." "Next window." "Well, you don't need to be so cross about it! I've a good notion to report l you." Too High a Price. A farm laborer, who was getting married, found that he had not enough money with which to pay the minister's fee. He promised, however, to pay him in potatoes when they were ready for digging up. The minister waited for some time, but * no potatoes were forthcoming; so he called upon the man and inquired the reason. "Well, to tell you the truth, Guvner," was the reply, "I'd like to give you the potatoes, but she ain't worth it." South Carolina's Rural Routes. The report of the post office department, giving rural delivery statistics for the past year, has just been issued, and is very interesting as an indication of the way new routes are being established all over the United States. j In South Carolina the total number of J petitions referred to the department were 1,090, and of this number 470 were adversely reported. July 1,1904, there were in South Carolina 331 routes in operation and at this time there are 476, a gain of 14o. There are now pending before the department 13$ petitions from South Car- j oiina asking for new routes. Of this num-1 ber it'is very probable that some will be j granted and the whole number for the ! year will then be considerably augmented. This rapid increase in the number of new routes in the country is a splendid j index to what the people are doing. In j some localities, where a few years ago the I people received few papers and seldom exchanged letters, mails are now delivered once, and sometimes twice a day, giving the rural man as good chance to keep in touch with the world as his city friend. Country Correspondence. The long wished for rain fell Tuesday afternoon. Mr. J. W. Hill ka? been sawing regularly for several days. Rev. S. P. Chisolm held protracted i services at Spring Branch last week. Two J new members were baptized at Clear Pond I on "Wednesday morning. There is a little boiling spring on Mr. W. D. Rhoad's place near Lemon Swamp that has lots of patronage. The boiler is real small, but the water is very cold and pfeasant to the taste. No doubt its properties equal those of many springs that are now such popular health resorts. Pmtrnpfifd sprvieps are beinff held at i 0 j Springtown this week. Dedication exercises were held there Sunday morning. A real fitting programme was carried out, ending with the usual collection. The dedication sermon was preached by the pastor's (Rev. S. P. Hair! brother. Mr. P. W. Sandifer, has begun to rebuild his saw mill, grist mill, and gin house, which was destroyed by lire some months ago. The rain storm Tuesday afternoon blew the gin house to the ground, which was only framed. We see by last week's issue about a cabbage snake being found by a colored woman near Bamberg. Several have been found in this neighborhood. Mrs. Wm. Hughes found one measuring fifteen inches, which looked like a fresh white corn silk, about the size and color. Cabbages are losing their popularity as a vegetable now. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Padgett, and little daughter, Sybil, of Spring Branch, spent Sunday night with their mother, Mrs. Julia Sandifer, in our midst. Mrs. O. P. Jordan and son,Master Bartiette, spent Sunday with their uncle, Dr. W. A. Hanberry, at Denmark. On last Monday afternoon, after services at Spring Branch, Mr. Willmott Sandifer, of our midst, and Miss Bucia Clayton, of Colston, started for the young lady's home, but after getting two or three miles they kept hearing Cupid say it was a nearer and better way to turn around and go by Mr. Doc. Bessinger's, as Rev. S. P. Chisolm was spending the ?* * A rrl t* t Viorr Hctoriorl f lUUC. ."H/WiMiijgij vuvjr i^ivuvu and heeded and upon reaching their destination they found their little god had plaj-ed them false, but would find Rev. Chisolm at Mr. T. J. Crider's. On they went and were united there in the holy bonds of matrimony. Cupid is often wrong in his teachings, as he is so uneducated and has a little bow and arrow that is more so uneducated as he shoots regardless of direction or target, but we hope he made his only mistake as referring to the place of the -pastor. Their friends and relatives were very much surprised, but extend best wishes for their future happiness and prosperity, hoping there will be just enough clouds o'er their lives to cause a glorious sunset. With best wishes to The Herald and its readers iu these "good old summer time" days we are having. FORCED TO STARVE. B. F. Leek, of Concord, Ky., says: "For 20 years I suffered agonies, with a sore on my upper lip, so painful, sometimes, that I could not eat After vainly trying everything else, I cured it, with Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's great for burns, cuts and wounds. At all druggists in Bamberg; Felder and Matthews, Denmark. Only 25c. A Presbyterian preacher of Cleveland, Ohio, the Rev. E. Melville Wylie, adver i ^ r tisea a special sermon to uusu uuu iaus this week. "Life is a ball game," lie told them from the pulpit; God is the umpire, men the players and the world the diamond." In closing he said: "The crucial point in iifq^ game comes at the third strike. Many do not get that many chances and some get even more, but the whole of the player's existence may depend on making a hit on the third trial. Stick to the rules as set down in the sacred book. Don't play for money, nor for mere fun; play to win, so that at the time of the third strike the umpire may not call you out." Always Liberal to Churches. Every church will be given a liberal quantity of L. & M. paint. Call for it. 4 gallons Longman and Martinez L. & M. paint mixed with :j gallons linseed oil, will paint a house. W. B. Barr, Charleston, W. Va. writes, "Painted Frankenburg block with L. & M. stands out as though varnished." Wears and covers like gold. Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for linseed oil, which you doinready-for-use paint. Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents per gallon and mix it with L. & M. paint. It makes paint cost about $1.20 per gallon. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS. i SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. !

Mr. Quillie Sandifer and his brother, G. L. Sandifer, have been visiting friends j and relatives near .bhrharctt. The protracted meeting was held at I Spring Branch church, last third Sunday. It was attended by many from far and I near. j Mr. Leo Bennett, of Springtown, was the guest of his little cousin, Oscar Crider, I this last week. The Sunday-school at Spring Branch is improving very much. We hope it will continue so. Little Minnie Folk, of Ulmer, visited her little cousin, Miss Bertie Bessingcr, . last Wednesday. Our good friend Mr. Willmott Sandifer stole a march on us last Monday. He just went to take his best girl home, but he took her to Mr. T. J. Crider's, where the parson was, and the indissoluble marriage knot of South Carolina was tied. Mr. Sandifer's bride was Miss Lucia Clayton. The happy couple are staying at Mrs. Julia Sandifer's. Party at Denmark. Denmark, July 20.?The Denmarkites were most cordially entertained at the hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Wyman last Tuesday evening, complimentary to Miss Maude Williams, of Rmopons? and Miss Eloise Connor, of Eutawville, 1 who are the guests of Mrs. J. Arthur Wig- ' gins. 1 A guessing game, consisting of pictures J representing the different families of the : town, was the feature of the evening. The first prize, a beautiful bonbon dish, was awarded to Miss Williams, and the booby to Miss Bessie Goza. After the contest refreshments were 1 served on the large piazza, where the lovely moon added beaut; to the occasion. Those present were Misses Maude Williams, Eloise Connor, Bessie and Annie Melle Reed, Edith Rice, Lillian Goolsby, Gladys Rountree, Livy Ray, Eda Steadman, Bessie Goza, Nettie Rice, SassieOw ens, Jtiauie wroxon, uarrie ana marina Riley, Mary Belle and Johnella Inabnett, Messrs.

Death of 3Ir. J. J. Shealy. i Leesville, July 21.?There has never < in this town been exhibited a more ( marked expression of sympathy and respect than that shown yesterday in the ? funeral exercises of Jno. J. Shealy. 1 Mr. Shealy, who has lived in Leesville 1 more years than any resident here now, 1 died Wednesday afternoon about 1 ( o'clock of Bright's disease, and was buried 1 yesterday from the Lutheran church at 11 c o'clock, and his remains were interred in its cemetery. Mr. Shealy was in his GOth year, and had suffered latterly untold pain, yet through it all, he saw the mercy of God ( and the beauty of heaven. No man in Leesville, perhaps, was so ^ universally liked as was Jno. J. Shealy, 4 and this was strikingly evidenced by tne \ attendance at his funeral. Never so large a congregation nor so general suspension ' of business, every store closed,enterprises stopped, work suspended, during the ex- ' crcises. ' Mr. Shealy was a kindly, energetic man, ; faithful to his town's interests, and a life- : long, consistent member of the Methodist 1 church. The Masons performed the last ' sad rites. Mr. Shealy,whose death is noted above, 1 was the father of Mr. D. W. Shealy, of Bamberg, and his many frienus will regret to know of his bereavement. Mr. J. J. Shealy had visited his son here several times,and was well known to many of our ! pitv/pns Small Boy's Mixed History i Around the great striking figure: of history, the small boy weaves curious an- [ swers. "Moses' mother pitched his little cradle within and without with pitch and : left him there in the pool of Siloam. But when the daughter of Solomon got the green leaf from the dove she hastened and brought food convenient for him, 1 and the babe crowed thrice and grew up i in her court." ( Stop and Think. Did you ever stop and think that the 1 dispenser who infuses our boys with the ] vile stuff is getting a salary varying from 1 $50 to $100 per month, while the school i teacher male or female who infuses i knowledge into our boys only gets from < $25 to $40 per month?

The regular serai-weekly shoot was held on Monday afternoon, and while the attendance was not so good, many of the members being out of town, there were some very good records made by the few members present, G. Moye Dickinson breaking twenty-one out of twenty-five, beating the best score made this season. The boys are gradually improving in their marksmanship. The following is the official score: W. A.

Mr. Martin Hunter died at the hospital in Charleston Monday night, where he had been carried only a few days before for treatment. He had been in bad health for a long time, and had been spending several months in Bamberg with his broth er, hopiug that he would improve. But he gradually grew worse, and many of his friends never expected to see him again alive when he left for Charleston. The body was brought to Branchville on the train Tuesday night, arid from there carried to Hunter's Chapel, where the interment took place today (Wednesday). Mr. Hunter was born in the Hartzog section of this county, and lived there for nany years. For several years past, lowever, he and his family had been livng in Augusta. He was about fifty years )ld, and leaves a wife and one son, as veil as several brothers and numerous )ther relatives.City Council Meeting. City council held a special meeting last riiursday night, at which several matters )f more or less importance were acted upon. A letter had been received from Mr. D. J. Howell in reference to the water ind light franchise, and council took the position that the franchises had expired. What will finally be done in reference to jame, it is impossible to say now. The matter of a license for shows at the opera house was taken up, and it was de sided to tax the house $20.00 a year and not to put a license on each show exhibiting there. This will no doubt end the matter, over which there has been some discussion. Council also decided to place a license on livery stables, and a license of $5.00 a year had already been placed on the drays. A Life Job. "I want to put an 'ad' in your paper," said the weary-looking man. "Make it: Wanted, a situation; any old job.' " "Shall I say'money no object?'" suggested the clerk. "No; make it 'object matrimony.' If I sould get acquainted with a decent job I'd be willing to marry it for life."?Philldelphia Press. Using Cotton Bags For Grist. Charleston, July *20.?Three cars of grist, 1,500 sacks, arrived here yesterday ,n cotton bags from the Cumberland mills )f Nashville to Wulbern & Co., this being :he first shipment ever received here in mything but the conventional burlap oags. The bags were made by the Royal Bag and Yarn factory of Charleston and ;he adoption of the cotton sacks is probibly the result of the agitation of the matter by the Charleston merchants in the jndeavor to promote the use of cotton, rhe cotton sacks are declared to be superior to the burlap in many respects. Trouble Over an Editorial. News has come to Columbia, via Camp Fuller, to the effect that Mr. Clarence L. Brown and Mr. G. Marshall Moore engaged in an altercation in Barnwell Monday. The aforesaid altercation was a bloodless affair, and it is hoped that it will end with the meeting Monday. Mr. Brown is the dispensary inspector who suffered the misfortune to lose $2,000 recently. Mr. Moore is the superintendent of the school at Barnwell and is also editor of the Barnwell Sentinel, the paper which was owned by Mr. Brown before he sold it to Mr. Moore. In the editorial columns of this paper there appeared a paragraph commenting upon Mr. Brown's misfortune in a way which was distasteful to the inspector, and he demanded a retraction. The affair happened in the principal business part of town. Mr. Brown, pointing to the objectionable paragraph, expressed his opinion in regard thereto with a great deal of force, so it is related. The witness who reports the affair says that Brown, after making a statement to the effect that Moore had his hand iD his pocket, drew his revolver with an invitation to Moore to do the same thing. A Mr. Moody ran up about this time and separated them. Brown put up cash bond for and forfeited his revolver to the town of Barnwell. The Barnwell Sentinel is the weekly paper fthich attracted some attention a few months ago by attacking H. H. Evans, chairman of the dispensary board, and the editor in turn was threatened with a libel suit. It is said that on account of Mr. Moore's positive stand on public questions he is having trouble to be reelected superintendent of the schools. There has been a deadlock in the board for 30 days.?The State. Mr. Moore's Version. Two weeks ago Mr. Marshall Moore, editor of the Barnwell Seutinel, had a little paragraph in his paper in reference to the loss of $2,200 by Inspector C. L. Brown. It seems that Mr. Brown was not pleased with the comments of the editor, and some words passed between the two on the street. Following is Mr. Moore's account of it, as published in the editorial column of the Sentinel last week: "One C. L. Brown, whose residence is here, but who lives mostly on the road as a dispensary inspector, approached the editor of this paper on the street, Monday, and, with a copy of last week's Sentinel in one hand and a magazine pistol in the other, demanded of us that we "just read what is in here." As he attempted to pull, a friend to whom we were talking made an attempt to grab around the gentleman, but we asked the third party to let him alone. If the editor of this newspaper had been armed, he could have shot the fellow five times, because he was some 10 or 15 seconds in getting tlie pistol from a hip pocket. We told Mr. Brown that it was not necessary to read the paper, as wrote and knew what it was. He then asked with a flourish of the gun, if we intended any' insinuation upon his personal character and integrity. We replied that, as far as bis personal character and integrity goes, we knew nothing about it, and on that account could say nothing against it; that whenever we had proof of anything against him we would not 'only say so in The Sentinel, but would be willing to tell him so to his face. Hcthen asked if we would be willing to say in our paper what we had said on the street. To this we replied positively that whatever we said anywhere we would be willing to put in our paper. We then made it very plain to Mr. Brown, in the presence of the gentlemen present, that we would have said everything that was said had he come to us in a quiet way; that we were not afraid of any man in South Carolina; that our paper stood for clean government and that as far as the loss of the $2,200 by himself goes, the people of the State were awaiting a statement from him. Brown told us that he admired our courage, but that he himself was a wounded bird. Later he w^s arrested and is reported to have said that he thought we were too brave to have informed on him. On the contrary, together with the gentleman who was present, we both tried to persuade the police from making the arrest." The Old Stage Coach. "T never knew iust how far the limits of Greater New York extended," said a traveler who had just returned from Columbia, "until I had crossed two chains of the Andes on a mule-back to get to Bogota, the capital of Columbia. One of the vehicles I found in use there is a prehistoric ark of a stage coach such as is only used in Buffalo Bills's Wild West Show and the Humphrey F. Murphy association outings on Staten Island. It gave me ! quite a thrill so far away in Bogota to see inscribed in what had been letters of gold on the sides of the coach: 'Brooklyn Bridge.' I have beep wondering ever since how it got there."?New York Sun. About a year ago a Kansas doctor lost a wallet containing a large sum of money. He offered a liberal reward for its return, but the party who found it thought the whole thing was better than the reward. The other day the doctor entered his coal house, and the first thing he saw was his empty wallet, and protruding from the end was a card bearing the inscription. "Doctor, please fill this prescription again." Uneconomical Economy. | In St. Louis tliere is a Yankee who set* tied in the Mound City after the civil war, and has there built up a fortune of millions, says Success Magazine. The economics and conservatism by which he has accumulated his little pile have increased with his years. Acquisition has become a habit. He has one son, over whose expenditures he keeps careful watch. Recently this offspring took an uptown car. The father, who saw him board the car, and knew his destination, judged he had spent his fare foolishly. That evening after dinner, the elder called the younger man into the library, saying he had something to tell him. "But first," he interrupted, rising from his chair, "I will turn down the light; we can talk just as well in the dark, and it will save gas." He then proceeded to give reasons why the expenditure of the uptown car fare was unnecessary. As he went on to explain the value of economy,"dux of the darkness where his son sat he heard-^a fumbling and shuffling. Much to his distastGylhe noise continued. At length heated to impatience, he cried "Sam, what are you doing?* "Father," came from out of the blackness, "I can hear just as well without 'emv, and while we're sitting here in the dark, , I'm taking off my trousers to save 'em." For the rest of that evening economics were not discussed. ' > Death of Mr. Jas. H. Skinner. Barnwell, July 24.?Mr. Jas. H. Skinner died at Dunbarton Saturday night and his remains were brought here yesterday afternoon and interred in the .. 'I Baptist cemetery. The deceased was for many years a resident and merchant of this town. Be - - - . <. . cause of ill liealtu, lung trouDie, ne moved to Dunbarton hoping the change would benefit him. His hopes were never realized. Specialists in tuberculosis were called in and treated him without success. Day by day he grew steadily worse until the end. i He was a member of the Baptist church and an old and faithful Knight of Pyth- . .*/ ias. It will be remembered that the deceased killed Mr. Miller D. Anderson several months ago at Dunbarton; that he was under bond and awaiting trial. He was anxious to be tried and said he wanted vindication. He was about 42 years of age and leaves a wife, formerly Miss Howell of St. George's and a host of friends who mourn his death. 1 Lived With Pin in Heart. Detroit, July 2Q.?-Fred Montgomery, /, a waiter of Sandwich, Ont. who was taken ? to St Mary's Hospital July 6, with a wound in his breast, made by a hat pin, died to-day. At the post-mortem examination six inches of the pin was found ( imbedded in his breast, part of it actually in the man's heart. The pieces of pin had begun to rust and the physicians marvel that Montgomery lived so long. When taken to the hospital from a lodging house Montgomery said he received the wound by accident, claiming that a woman with whom he had been in a cafe ! had slipped and lurched against him a9 she was pinning on her hat, causing the wound. It is now thought that perhaps the wound was received in a row at his home, in Sandwich, early in the evening on which he was taken to the hospital. Canadian officials say that Montgomery's wife has been missing since the night of the row, and is supposed to have gone to xixuiau itiiiuvij. Europe's Richest Woman. The gunmaker of Essen is a woman, a young woman, and the richest woman in Europe. She is Miss Krupp, daughter of the famous Herr Krupp, whose death occurred some years ago. Essen exists, r because of the Krupp gun works, and practically all its 100,000 inhabitants are dependent on her for their work, directly or indirectly. Miss Krupp is more powerful in Essen than many a German princeling in his four-by-nine kingdom. Pretty she is said to be?she is the richest girl in Europe?clever, it is declared?still the richest girl in Europe?wise beyond her years?again the richest girl in- Europesimple and unostentatious in her demeanor?remember, the richest girl in Europe ?and she is to be introduced to society under the direct patronage of the kaiser and kaiserin. There will be heart.burn-. ings and jealousies, up-lifted German aristocratic noses, sneers and disparaging comment?but she is the richest girl in Europe, and in these days, when a people tumbles royalty about as King Oscar was tumbled in Norway, the greatest heiress in the land cannot be overlooked even by the court itself. The description of Miss Krupp reads much as descriptions of rather plain but very rich Anerican girls i do. Perhaps more interesting than her wealth is the fact that by refusing to sell arms to several nations Miss Krupp could insure their good behavior for a while. Thev would not know where to go for guns were she to cut off their credit.? Everybody's Magazine. A Brooklyn girl was wooed and won in a bathing suit, and the Nashville Banner suggests that the man was probably from Missouri.?Greenville News. -*' %
