Bishop McCabe relates the following story: "Once upon a time I was in a railroad accident. It was one of the only two I have ever experienced, and I have travel!ed mere than 750,000 miles on trains and steamers, three times as far as from here to the moon. ( "A broken wheel tnrew me iram on the track. The car I was in was shattered very much. Seated just ahead of me li was an elderly lady who was suffering jj ^ from rheumatism. It was necessary to c ^ change cars. I helped her off the car, p. *' ' carried her valise, and gave her the supi port of my arm. Behind us came a noblelooking English lady with her husband Y by her side. "She was scolding him well for starting on their journey on Friday. T told you, James,'she said, 'something would happen if we should start on Friday.' " 'Madam,' said I, 'do you know that .i * Columbus set sail to discover America on Friday?' "She looked at me with indignation and said: 'Sir, in my opinion it is a great pity America was ever discovered at all." A TRIP ABROAD. Our Correspondent Writes of a Trip to Johnston and Other Places. Editor The Bamberg Herald: Not because we think you are scarce of news nor that you are not acquainted with all that we may say but we feel sure that we can say some few things that will be of interest to some of The Herald's readers. On the last day of July we left Bamberg for a visit to the family of Mr. W. A. Jordan, of Johnston, who is well known here, having lived here several years ago. While at Johnston many acts of courtesy were bestowed to make the writer's J stay pleasant. There we met many or J those dear old friends that ever have a I loving remembrance for each other? I school-mates?as it was there that the I writer spent many of what we thought unhappy days, studying and trying to prepare for the life that each of us have to battle, but we feel sure that school days are among the happiest. At the home of Mrs. Farrah Smith, (nee Miss Watson) August 6th, a dining was given in honor of a number of friends, eight of which were school mates from different portions of the State. ! At a picnic at Yonce's mill pond quite J a pleasant day was s]Jent meeting many old acquaintances as well as forming many new ones. This picnic was given in honor of the writer by the owner of the pond and Mr. B. A. Jordan. It is a very pretty place situated just at the foot of a high J hill and for several miles around nothing I but hills can be seen with pretty homes on I their summits. The day was ideal, and with the merry laughter of the young folks keeping tune with the splashing and I dashing of the waves as they made their way over the old moss covered wheeJ, the eyes feasting on the natural beauty of the surroundings, we feel sure even the older ones were obliged to feel young as we. Bathing, shooting, boating, riding, driving, and promenading were the amusements of the day. Dainty refreshments * ? /vf V* aM J were served "unaer me suauc KJL llUV vtu sweet gum trees." A carriage trip to Batesburg was very pleasant. We passed through the Ridge farming section, where we saw some very fine crops of fruit, asparagus, and many other things we do not grow here, as well as the things we do. At Batesburg we were hospitably entertained at the home of Mr. R. 8. Simmons, formerly of Bamberg. It was our good pleasure to attend the Ridge Spring Baptist Association at Ridge Spring. The spring just back of the church is a very pretty piece of nature. The pool for the church is just below the spring, the water flows through a small opening of a solid rock and on I through the pool to the park below. Quite I an interesting program was carried out, and special mention can be made of Dr. Poteat's address, president of Furman University. Miss Lois Baker, a State mission worker, of Columbia, also made a very good talk. While in Ridge Spring we were made welcome at the home of Mr.'Bevers, who has a charming wife. At Wards we saw a very pretty little cemetery, which would remind one of the Spaniard's cemetery of St. Augustine, Fla. JNot in size dui iu stjic. "We were present at the opening of the Johnston graded school, but the exercises were not so elaborate on account of the death, the day previous, of one of Johnston's most worthy and honored citizens, Mr. D. T. Outzs. But the writer was made sad to see what a change! It was there that Dr. H. S. Hartzog had one of the most flourishing boarding schools in the State. Ten teachers composed the corps then in the Institute, besides the kindergarten and other extra teachers. The boarding department has now been done away with, and the school graded. Very good work is being done in the school however, and some very fine teachers compose the corps, but it is not run on as large scale as when known as "The Johnston Institute." We were also present at the opening of the S. C. C. I. at Edgefield. The exercises there, too, were very sad on account of the absence of one of it's builders and supporters, the president's wife, whose sad death occurred since last session, and many were the sad expressions we heard uttered by the girls and boys on missing their friend. Col. Bailey has a fine school there, one that the State can justly be proud of. The college is situated just on the edge of the village on a high hill. It has a campus of eight acres, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant to the eye. v j The rooms in the Dunaing are large auu ( airy. Its situation, management, the j kindness and gentle ruling influence given by teachers and citizens of the town is obliged to promote a highly educated set of girls and boys who go there. Rev. J C. E. Burts delivered a very fine address, I in which he offered his assistance to any of the students at any time. We should feel proud of the S C C I, as Mrs. Bailey was one of Bamberg's fair daughters, and she receives lots of praise there for having much to do with the growth of the college, and we were glad to see Bamberg county well represented among the boarding students at the opening. May its future even be a continual improvement over its past, and we feel sure it will, as they allow no one but the industrious to remain there. They have a "pest house" for those too lazy to work, so Mr. Burts says. May it remain empty. While in Edgefield we were entertained at the hospitable home of Mr. Jack Reel. At each place we visited we found the folks entertaining, hospitable and social. None seemed to fear to work, but rather condemning those who do. The folks at Johnston are a church-going people. We j "Rott Martin at the head of the < 1V/UUU A?W V MM* * ? ? Methodists, and Rev. Cooper attends to , the spiritual teachings of the Baptists. ( There are a number of other churches ( there, but they do not have services as j regularly "as these two. On one Sunday , in the Baptist church, I guess it could be , called a kind of missionary day, eight j hundred twenty-nine dollars and fifty- , nine cents ($829.59) was promised the missionary field, and each Sunday Rev. Cooper has some call for the missionary ( workers to do, always taking the lead ( himself, and his congregation seems always ready to follow. He is a dutiful worker, an able preacher, and a good singer. There are two newspapers run in this little city, the News and the Mon- , itor. Mr. H. C. Bailey is editor of the News, which is a weekly paper, and Mr. C. J. Terrell is the well-known head of the Monitor, which is now a semi-weekly. Both papers are up-to-date and strive for the upbuilding of education and improvement in every way. The health at each place we went was j exceptionally fine, the water good, and the air fresh and invigorating, and with . royal entertainment one could not help ( feeiing better in every way, but still a , - - - " + i ? little home sicsness win sieai uvex uuc at i times, and when we found that little dis- . ease taking charge of us we started for home, in company with a party of six young folks, and taking in the "Savannah Yalley Fair" in Augusta for two days and j nights, we bade farewell at the union station, they to go back home and the writer : to do like-wise, and we felt when we arrived that there was no place like home, ( but still wishing to meet all the folks again and ever cherishing the many friends we feel sure that are in Edge- = field county.

Heether, superintendent of j the Charleston division of the Southern f Railway, was in the city last Saturday in reference to erecting a new freight depot for Bamberg, to take the place of the one destroyed by fire recently. Mr. Heether while here conferred with a number of ( citizens, as Mayor G. Moye Dickinson ( had written him in reference to changing the location of the warehouse and cotton ( platform. The superintendent was met 1 at the depot Saturday morning by Mayor ] Dickinson and a few citizens, and the i ground was gone over and the proposed 2 location examined. Mr. Heether expressed himself as being in favor of the change ( because the citizens of the town wanted J it, and there seems little doubt but that 1 the warehouse will be erected on the rail- J road property on the west side of Main ( street, below the passenger depot. Mr. < Heether had his surveyor, Mr. Millard, with him and the location was surveyed. < A blue print will be made and sent to ] Mayor Dickinson as early as possible. ] Mr. Heether seemed not only willing but anxious to comply witn tne wisnes or . our citizens and to give us better freight < facilities. i If you want a higher grade buggy than you can find elsewhere, call at Q. 1 Frank Bamberg's. mm Electric Lights Election. The election on the question of issuing bonds in a sum not to exceed $15,000, at an annual rate of interest not to exceed six per cent., was held Tuesday. Messrs. H. H. Copeland, J. E. Felder, and M. J. Black were managers of the election. 1 Very little interest was taken, as there was no opposition to issuing the bonds, and a light vote was polled. The total number of votes was 83, of which 82 were 1 for bonds and one against. At this election three citizens as a board of public works were voted for C. R. j Brabham received 78 votes, J. A. Byrd 77, and A. W. Knight 72. A few scattering votes were also polled. The total vote for members of the board was 79. Col. Jno. F. Folk had been nominated at the meeting of citizens for this position, but he found he could not serve, as he already held the office of county treasurer, so he had to decline, and A. W. Knight was put on in his stead. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS. 1 SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered All Around ^ the Connty and Elsewhere. 1 Ehrhardt Etchings. * Ehrhardt, October 23.?Mr. John M. Jennings has finished the artesian well g for C. Ehrhardt & Sons. He struck a fine ? , o Sow and supplies all the outlets plenti ^ fully and to waste. This well now places 0. Ehrhardt & Sons' works in the best a jhape for an accident by fire. Their tank holds enough water to last until their steam pump gets to work, then, the well ^ which is 20 feet by 20 feet and eighteen ^ feet in water and a two inch flow can be turned into the well to help the supply, so their fire equipment is now complete. Some cotton changed hands on Satur- r Jay at 9.80. Some of our merchants think cotton will advance at an early date. Our bank will soon be in shape to go to t work. The charter will soon be procured. g What will be the chance another year v for any other business but farming? All ^ the hands in this section want a farm,and <i will promise most any price as a rent for t same. Hands at mills are scarce and j careless about working. Dr. J. H. Roberts and family went to t Williston last week, visiting relatives. c Mr. M. W. Rentz came near getting his ^ hand cut seriously in Messrs. Carter & Carter's gin last week. The machinery t was about stopped and he put his hand ^ under to rake out the moats and the saws t caught his fingers on his left hand, cut c two of them very badly, but think they will be all right in -a short while?flesh ^ wounds. a Mr. Robert Morris, near Cowpen Ford t over Little Saltkahatchie swamp, lost his a ginning outfit by fire last week. Think he had some insurance on same. The cold wave hit us Friday night. Fire is necessary now for comfort. \ T. T. Young, from the Olar section,says that, that section of country is in good g jbape, everybody has a buggy, horse or fj mule, a gun and a dog. Says the buggy is the most important of their outfit, as ? ;hey felt their importance whil^sittingin s \ new top buggy and giving a horse a iround even if they had nothing much to 1 iat at home. In fact they could not go Q ;o church in the right spirit without these ti uxuries. Potato digging is in order, and farmers c vill be busy this week at such work and J putting up seed cane. The sugar cane ;rop will be short as a general thing, n Will be tedious to work with this year. 13 snort cane means snort syrup also. b Col. Folk came very near losing his gin si jutfit last week. Caught on Are toy some & means through the gin but succeeded in jutting it out before much damage was ^ ione. p Dr. and Mrs. Copeland left for Charles;on today. The Doctor has some business J in Bamberg before he leaves. f; Mr. J.^M. Jennings will go from here to CJrocketville, where he will bore a well ? 'or Messrs. Lightsey & Sons. Then Mr. rj D. P. Folk will have him to bore one for $ aim. Jee. c - l! Q.

B. HUGHES WAS INSANE. 'he Verdict of a Jury Holding his Estate Liable for Value of the House Which he Burned. c ai Edgefield, October 21.?The case of ^ Lsbill against the estate of B. B. Hughes, he only case of the kind ever litigated in he State, terminated today in a verdict or the plaintiff in the sum of $650. The ^ iain questions in the action were wheth- ^ r or not Mr. Hughes, in a fit of insanity, m! 1 tn tv?c Aiciriiiuatcu uio lauinjr} uav ?v ?uv ^ ouse and then committed suicide? The erdict of the jury answers these questions q ffirmatively. nj The public will recall the fearful tragdy enacted at Trenton about a year ago. Ir. Hughes and family occupied the iouse as tenants of Asbill, to whom the t iroperty belonged. gj The suit was to recover the value of the tc esidence, it being alleged that Mr. ^ lughes destroyed the same by wilfully ^ etting fire thereto. ^ It was contended by plaintiffs that the aking of his and his family's lives was uperindiced by financial troubles. A r( witness testified that at 9 o'clock of the gj lay of the tragedy Mr. Hughes said to him: ^ T am financially very much troubled, and he easiest way to get out of such things s to take a pistol and shoot out of it." ? Some fifteen of the deceased's friends j? estified that he was in good financial :ondition, and gave no evidence of being _ jloomy and despondent. The conditions surrounding the bodies K he morning after the fire were minutely y lescribed, and they pointed unerringly to y he fact of Mr. Hughes being the author a >f the horrible affair. s< The story as told by the witnesses was ^ gruesome and harrowed the feelings of t( ,11 who beard it. It had been better had g he case not have been allowed to reach g , trial. 0 The Youth's Companion in 1906. a During 1906 The Youth's Compaction m vill publish in 52 weekly issues - ai 7 tl erial st'ories, each a book in itself, re- fc ecting American life in home, camp and p eld. 50 pecial articles contributed by famous tr len and women?travelers, essayists, fr oldiers, sailors, statesmen, and men of , ffairs. * 200 O houghtful and timely editorial articles to n important public and domestic quesions. 250 omplete stories by the best of living tory-writers?stories of character, stories f achievement, stories of humor. 1000 otes on current events and discoveries i the field of science and natural history. ^ 2000 m right and amusing anecdotes, items of m trange and curious knowledge, poems . nd sketches. 8* This is what The Companion offers its in eaders during 1906.

A THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, A 44 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. w R Death of Mra. J. F. Coleman. p] Death to the aged man or woman who oi as journeyed along life's way for three A sore years and ten, is sufficient cause for ar adness. But when youth's brief years fo ave not all been counted by the hand of re uman existence, and when we see the appiness apparently in store for the not ^ )ng wedded couple cut off, what then l-it v- ?? n uttil ue aitiu r vi Mrs. Carrie Kearse Coleman after a ingering illness of six weeks with tyhoid fever, died Saturday at her home si< i Olar. The interment took place Sunay at the family burying ground, the q ervices being conducted by Rev. Jno. L. q larley. Pj This death is particularly a sad one. A ^ tusband and a child of one year, are left aj o mourn the departed wife and mother, ai ogether with Mrs. Coleman's mother 2^ ,nd brothers and sisters. j* Only a little over two years ago J. F. g, Coleman led Carrie Kearse to the altar, ,nd there they plighted troth pledging it heir love for their natural lives. Who Ci culd have foreseen that in so short a ^ ime the young husband would be with- F tut his helpmeet and companion, while .11 the manv friends who had gathered " w yi 0 bid them God-speed, should be mourn- 0 ng in the place of recent joy? 2< When the ceremony of death had been ompleted at the church, the friends were ^ dl permitted to view for the last time the g ace of their departed friend.

C., August 22nd, 1832, , id died at her home at Bamberg October v 5th, 1905, in the 74th year of her age. She was the third daughter of George rard Moye, a man well-known and eatly beloved in the section in which j lived and died; who, losing his- wife sfore he reached middle age, was left ith a large family, to whom he was ever fond, faithful father. The subject of my sketch professed hrist at the aee of 16. and from that time atil her death was an earnest, consistent illower of the meek and lowly Jesus. Surrounded by all the comforts and lux* ries that wealth conld bay, with many mptations before her to worship at the irine of Mammon, she steadfastly clang > her religion, by her actions declaring ke David of "old, 'Td rather be a dooreeper in the house of my God than to well in the tents of wickedness." ? -'M "Her faith was as deep set as the Rock f Ages, as firm and unyielding as the >ots of a mighty oak, yet in its erpreaon as calm and gentle as the zephyr rhich waves its leaves." She was a friend to the poor, an angel f mercy to the sick and afflicted, and were everyone for whom she did some >ving service to bring a blossom to her rave, she would sleep beneath a wilderess of flowers." v-'la When but nineteen years old she was Larried to Col. T. J. Counts, who surives her, and during the more than fifty ears which she walked by his side, was faithful wife and devoted mother to the 3ven children which blessed their union, ? luring this time the Lord severely chasrned her in calling upon her to give up ve of these dear children, three of them rown, one a' beautiful girl, in the bloom f young womanhood, only one year wife, to whose helpless babe thus left lotherless, she was a mother indeed r ; id in truth; yet drinking to the dregs lese cups of sorrow, she with Christian fjil >rtitude, could say, "Not my will, Oh ather, but Thine be done." In loving recollection of her many vir- * tes which endeared her to family and lends, her sorrowing niece pens thia leble tribute to her memory, thanking od for her life and her example; prayicg i meet her again "in the land of light, in / $ le presence of the King."
