News Items Gathered All Around
the Coanty and Elsewhere.
* Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, April 2.?A lady from the
country was in C. Ehrhardt & Sons' store
purchasing goods, when one of the clerks
started one of their talking machines on
Uncle Josh's accident insurance policy.
She went to that part of the store and
asked who was that under the counter
> * " talking. The clerk did every way in the
world to convince her that it was the
machine, but she would not believe any*k5-?
fwjidn't fool her with no
?UlUg. ^cv.
such thing as that. The clerk then put
on a comic song and she said it was a
negro under the house singing. The
store was full of customers and had to
flop the machine; they were all so interested
in watching her hunt the party hid
doing the talking and singing until they
forgot all about their wants.
Prof. Sawyer claims he has made an
invention that he can attach to the works
of a clock to take the place of springs or
* weights that will run the clock until worn
out, needing nothing after starting. In
other words, he has perpetual motion.
Says he will have same patented just as
soon as he gets through his school and
can make a model for patent office. Mr.
Sawyer is a young man, unmarried, and
if he has invented perpetual motion, he
will, if he handles it right, have an independent
fortune.
* Rev. Miller, of Mt. Pleasant Lutheran
SWinary, Charleston, S. C., preached
Saturday night, Sunday morning, afternoon,
and night to large and attentive
congregations. It is a rare gift that a
speaker can hold an audience's continued
attention so long and so often. His
* truths were expressed so simple and very
'* strong that all, old and young, could
v catch his ideas in fall.

Urge and Enthusiastic Gathering of Business
Men and Fanners.
The railroad meeting called by the
board of corporators of the Bamberg and
Ehrhardt railroad was held in the courl
house here last Monday. This meeting
was called for the purpose of getting the
work of securing rights of way, subscriptions
to capital stock, etc., under way.
At the appointed hour a large and enthusiastic
body of business men and
prominent farmers assembled in the courl
house, there being present some of the
county's most substantial business mer
and farmers.
The meeting was called to order by E
T. LaFitte, Esq., and Col. Jno. F. Folfe
nominated Capt. D. H. Rice as chairmai
and A. W. Knight as secretary, who wen
elected.
Senator J. B. Black and Representativi
E. T. LaFitte addressed the meeting, giv
ing the provisions of the charter and .th<
purpose of the proposed road.
Col. Jno. F. Folk then addressed th<
meeting and said as to the question of t
direct or belt line, that the meeting shoul<
consider the question and appoint committees
to secure rights of way and subscriptions
to the capital stock along threi
proposed routes, it being plain of cours<
that the road would be built along th<
route where most support was given.
The matter of a steam or electric roa<
was discussed, and the sentiment seemec
strongly in favor of an electric line.
Remarks were made by Messrs. D. O
Hunter, J. H. Fender, H. J. Ritter, J. F
Jones, J. B. Kearse, J. J; Kearse, D. H
Rice, and others, all of whom ezpressec
themselves as heartily in favor of th<
road. They felt sure that the right o
way would be cheerfully given in theii
sections.
Pursuant to Col. Folk's motion the fol
lowing committees were appointed, th<
selection being left to gentlemen from th<
different sections. Three committees, ii
different localities, were appointed on thi
three routes proposed:
On Buford's Bridge route: 1st committee,

Mr. Morgan, a representative of th<
Southern Bell Telephone Company, wa
present and addressed the meeting on th<
benefits of an electric line through th<
county, and also of the advantages of j
rural telephone system. He said he woul<
be glad to come back at some later dab
and take up the matter of rural telephon*
service with our people.
The meeting then adjourned to mee
the first Monday in May in the cour
house here at 10 o'clock a. m.
We have not the space to give as extended
account of the meeting as w<
would like, but we want to say it wai
thoroughly a business meeting of businesi
men. Prominent and wealthy farmer
from all sections of the county were pres
ent, and we have never seen a larger
more representative, or more enthusiasts
gathering since we have beqp in Bamberg
The road will be built. That seems prac
tically certain now. There is no hot ai]
about the expressions of the men wh(
were present. They mean business anc
the best part of it is that our friends fron
the country are the most enthusiastic o
any. Subscriptions to the capital stocl
and offers of rights of way will com<
from men along all the proposed routes
Personally we hope that these pledge
of support will come so strong from even
route spoken of that a line will be buil
touching all parts of the county. Report
will be heard from all these committee
at the meeting the first Monday in May
and the route will then be decided on.Depths

of God, Eld. L. R. Scruggs, now enfeebled
by paralysis, the following account of the
battlefield of the Cowpens, clipped from
the Dallas News, is here given:
I see a clipping from the Outing magazine,
in memory of Gen. Morgan, quoted
in Sunday's News. I was born and grew
3 up on the old Cowpens battlefield, where
1 Gen. Morgan's monument now stands,
B where he and Colonel William Washing1
ton defeated Colonel Tarleton. My
grandfather was there. I lived with my
e grandfather some when I was too small
too work, and often sat on his knee and
heard him tell about the great battle. It
J only lasted about two hours, but as Colonel
Tarletcn says his little army was
whipped and routed, he rode to his com
A missary wagons to order a retreat and
d leave ths field. Colonel William Washn
ington, a cousin of George Washington,
y rode up to him, and they spoke thus:
e "This you, Washington?" "This you,
it 'tarleton?" They struck at each other
a with their swords. Washington hit

v and broke it off and cut Tarleton's little
finger. Washington raised to make the
r fatal stroke, when Tarleton wheeled and
9 spurred his horse. History says he jumpl
ed a commissary wagon, but my grandh
father says he jumped the horse or be0
hind the horses. He made his escape to
1 Smith's Ford on Broad river. Washington
followed within a mile or so of
e Smith's Ford, fifteen miles from Cowpens.
When he stopped at a house and
_ asked a lady, Mrs. Molly Harper, how
long since Colonel Tarleton had left, she
had to look down the road to see if they
were out of sight. She could not see
e them. "Oh," she said, "I reckon they are
L. across the river." She afterwards said
e her husband had been taken by Colonel
it Tarleton to help him cross the river, and
s she was afraid he would be killed if Colis
onel Washington overtook him. She
o wanted to .save her husband, and so
e, Washington returned to Cowpens. Coljt
onel Tarleton hurried on to Charleston,
;s and while there at a hotel he heard some
ie ladies praising Colonel Washington for
y his bravery as soldier and officer. Colli
onel Tarleton remarked that he was a
very illiterate man. Some of the ladies
* I snnke tin and said. "Yes. he mav be illit
-I W > , ? [
erate, but he knows now to make his
i. mark." Colonel Tarleton looked at his
it missing finger, bit his lip with rage and
a immediately left the hotel, and as soon
y as he could he left the United States. But
t- allow me to return to Cowpens and tell
it about my grandfather's tales about the
d battle of Cowpens. The battle com>e
menced about sun up while the British
n were at breakfast. They were surprised
y and whipped and then fled, leaving their
camps and breakfast which were enjoyed
by Morgan and his hungry and tired soldiers.
My grandfather bought the land,
d including the Cowpens battleground, and
^ settled within a mile of the noted place.

How She Escaped*
"My darling," said Mr. Spoonamore, as
he finished the third helping of his wife's
plum cake, "the lightness and flavor of
your excellent cake give a grand and
emphatic denial to all the rubbish written
in would-be funny papers about the
incapacity of young wives to cook."
She nestled close to him.
"Or, perhaps," he continued, "it may
be that my own little wifey pifey is better
than all others."
"Oh, ducky," she whispered, "how
happy you make me!"
And then she thought how lucky it
was that she had had the sense to buy
that cake at the baker's.

DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
THE UNLOADED PISTOL AGAIN GETS IN
ITS DEADLY WORK.
Vernon Elizey Shot by Jimmie Morris While
Playing Robbers?Numerous Violent
Deaths in the Same Building.
On Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock
young Vernon Elizey, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. F. Elizey, was shot by another
boy, Jimmie Morris, while playing
with pistols in the bicycle repair shop of
Mr. Buist Brickie on lower Main street.
Elizey was about fourteen years old,
while Morris is not quite twelve.
It was all the result of playing robbers,
and the play took unexpectedly the form
of deepest tragedy; truly the comedy
gave way to the tragic element. There
were no heroes, there were none intended,
alas, they were all actors taking
costly roles. It was brought out at the
coroner's inquest which was held very
very soon after the occurrence, that Vernon
Elizey, his younger brother, Donnie,
and Jimmie Morris, were sitting around
in Mr. Brickie's shop, Morris counting
some money; suddenly the idea of playing
robber bandits occurred to'Donnie.
The Elizey boys were to be the hold-ups,
and Jimmie was to be the victim and lose
his money, all of course was to be "playlike."
Jimmie is truly one victim, but
not the kind planned in the play; Vernon
is dead, truly it was a simple play with a
sad ending. Weapons placed in the shop
for repair were handy for the play, and
each participant had his weapon, and
as the plans were being carried oat, the
accidental discharge of Morris's pistol
brought all to an abrupt, heart-rending
end. The bullet struck young Ellzey in
the mouth and caused death almost in*
stantly.
The report of the pistol was followed
by the immediate rushing out of the
building of little Jimmie Morris who was
stricken with terror and grief, hard
enough for a man to have to endure, how
much more a little lad not yet in his
teens. A crowd quickly gathered, and
there for them to gaze upon, lay the body
of.Vernon Ellzey, so soon to be cold in
death; by his side the revolver with
which he had played, near by the one
which Morris had held with an empty
shell in the smoking weapon, all of
which told a much stronger tale than
any words can tell. The little brother
who had proposed the play, crying for
the departed spirit of his brother to
come back, sobbing as only a child in
sorrow can. And there soon the father
looked upon his boy, the pride of his
heart, with great tears in his eyes; but
sadder than all, the mother.
And little Jimmie Morris, his is no
small grief, for in his heart he bears the
sad consciousness that his is a life which
must ever feel a dark cloud hanging over
it.
The coroner's inquest was held in the
sheriff's office after the jury had viewed
the body. There the evidence was
brought out, Donnie Ellzey being the
only eye witness save Morris. Morris
told Mr. N. B. Felder how it had all happened,
and this was repeated by Mr.
Felder at the inquest. The jury returned
a verdict saying the deceased came to his
death from gunshot wounds in the hand
of Jimmie Morris. Little Morris is in
jail at present.
The pistol was a blue steel weapon, 32
calibre, and had been left in the shop
during the absence of Mr. Brickie, who
had gone to Denmark to attend a game
of base ball.
The funeral services were held at the
Simmons burial ground on Railroad avenue
where the interment took place
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. Rev.
Peter Stokes, pastor of the Methodist
church, conducted the services. The
pall bearers were Messrs. Roy M. Bruce,
M. E. Ayer, Fred W. Free, Clarence
Free, N. B. Felder, Albion Kirsch. Many
flowers were placed upon the grave by
the large concourse of relatives and
friends who were present.
This event has cast a gloom over the
entire community, no event of such a sad
nature has occurred here for years, and
