tttyt $ombrrg ifrralh Thursday, Sept. 13.1906 Short Locals. Best patent flour only $4.60 the barrel at C. R. Brabham & Sons. Miss Lillian Nix is the winner of the scholarship in Winthrop college from this county. The election here passed off quietly Tuesday. Little interest was manifested and a small vote polled. Mr. J. M. Jennings is at work on the well at the graded school, and hopes to have a flow in a short time. ~ " f 1 J 4l. JJ'ine weatner we ve iiau receuuy iui harvesting cotton and hay, and the farmers are taking advantage of it. 6. Frank Bamberg has moved into his large brick sales stables and buggy repository. His large new stock is arriving daily. Rev. C. M. Billings, pastor of the Blackville Baptist church, will supply the Baptist pulpit in Bamberg on next Sunday evening Chief of police S. A. Hand is having the trees on the streets trimmed. The work is being well done, and the improve> ment is very noticeable. City council ought to have street signs put up on all the street corners of the city containing the names of the streets. The cost would not be great. On account of the sickness of some of our force and the absence of the editor, several local matters of interest were , omitted in last week's issue. If you owe The Herald anything, kindly let us have it at once. We need every dollar-due us, and we need it now. Our creditors are getting impatient. We regret the contemplated departure of Mr. Henry J. Brabham, Jr., and fami^ 1 .k Jy. tiamoerg can 111 anoru iu uave ?m;u people leave us. We need such young, energetic, progressive business men. A number of Fitting School students arrived Tuesday and Wednesday, and others will arrive this and next week. The indications are for the largest enrollment in the history of the school. We congratulate Brother Rowell, of the Bamberg Times, on his re-election as school commissioner and auditor of his ' county. He cleaned ud two opponents : on the first go round.-rOrangeburg Times and Democrat. We regret that we have not been able to deliver job work promptly for the past two weeks. The absence of the editor and the sickness of most of our force has put us badlybehind. We hope to catch up this week. The public artesian well shows a disposition to stop flowing, so all private pipes have been cnt off. If yon want water now, yon most go to the well. The watering trough for stock has been moved to the'well from Hays's corner. Court convenes next Monday morning. There are few criminal cases to be tried and there is not a great amount of civil business. It is likely that court will not continue longer than one week and that the second week petit jurors will not be needed.. Cotton is coming to this market right along, and fine prices are being paid. Buyers are here representing the firms of Heath &Co.,Inman & Co., and Sprunt & Sons. In addition to this, most of our merchants are in the market, and our farmers can rest assured of receiving the highest prices. v > Mr. W. H. Bamberg died at his home a few miles above town last Saturday a week ago. The interment was at the Denmark cemetery the following day. He was about fifty-six years old and leaves a wife and several sons and daughters. . He had been in bad health for a year or more. The cotton mill will probably, shut i'"?" T5Md?v unrt Satnr/iiiv of tftis week in order that the final connections may be made from the large new engine to the machinery. An extensive rope drive is to be used from the engine to the mill machinery, and it will take several days to connect it all up. , Mr. G. M. Harvey,s who was born in Barnwell district, about three miles from Broxton's Bridge, 72 years ago, was shot and killed on the 26th ult. at the home of his son in Beaufort county. William " Bennett, a segro who went-from Ehr' hardt, is in jail charged with the crime. ?Barnwell People. Jeff J. Hughes, who was confined in jail here for beating his wife, gave bond last week and was released. The case against him is to be tried at the term of court next week. The charge against him is assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and the amount of the bond is $500. Mr. C. R. Brabham and Col. T. J. . Counts are the bondsmea. C. F. Rizer at Olar will soon receive a large and well assorted stock of millinery. His milliner, Miss Pullen, will arrive on Wednesday, September 19th, from the Northern markets, where she has purchased a line of millinery and fancy goods which will certainly please her customers. She will be pleased to show the ladies the latest fashions, so call early. Some newspapers inveigh against the practice of candidates filling the columns of the county papers with cards of thanks after the primaries. If all editors would do like The Herald, charge for these cards as all other advertising, candidates would soon stop the practice. It has about died out in this county. Most politicians do not care to give thanks when * li they have 10 pay xor u. There are three firms of cotton factors represented here by special buyers. These three firms are among the strongest in the South, and this outside bidding trill give an impetus to the local market, v While the buyers will make their purchases from the local buyers, still there is an interest added and it makes the market full of life and enables' the merchants to pay higher prices for the cotton which comes in. Mr. James F. Wilson is here for Inman & Company, a reliable firm; he represents the Charleston branch of the New York house. Mr. P. A. Lowry is here for M. C. Heath & Co. Alexander Sprunt & Sons are represented by Mr. Price. STARVING^TO DEATH Because her stomach was so weakened by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, 0., was literally starving to death. She writes. "My stomach was so .weak from useless drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bitters^ with the wonderful result that improvement began at once and a complete cure followed."

Hoover. Denmark Sekool Opening. Thp. Denmark crraded school will ODen on Monday, 17th of September, at 9 o'clock. Let me impress upon patrons the necessity of entering their children the first day. The ground lost by a child who is out of school the first week or two is never entirely regained, and be is at a disadvantage the entire year. The usual fee of $1.00 per pupil rs expected of each one. The fund goes towards paying the janitor, buying wood and crayon, putting in glass, and various incidental expenses connected with the school; and does away with the necessity of drawing on the regular school fund for these little expenses. Heretofore all except a few have paid it cheerfully, and it is hoped that this year every pupil will bring his $1.00 on the opening day. At 11 o'clock on Tuesday, 18th, Mr. W. H. Hand, one of the foremost school men in the State and the recently elected professor to the chair of secondary education at the S. C. University, will address the patrons of the school in the school auditorium. All patrons are urged to come out on that day, as the address will be on a subject that concerns them more closely than any one else. E. H. Hall, Principal. 1 BRICK | i!

TIED MAN TO FLYWHEEL Diabolical Murder In Cement Works at New Brighton, States Island. VICTIM WHIRLED TO PIECES Ann and Lcf Hug to Rope Attached to * -*? A 4^1 tfPUI. KSpwuy uronriq smmn TT BjP Traak Lies Bteedtsg m Factory Floor. For fiendish ingenuity the murder of Frank Getzner, an employee of the J. B. King Plaster works, at New Brighton, N. Y., who was killed on a recent night by being tied to the revolving shaft of a fly wheel by his companions, has probably never been surpassed. The body of Getzner was found by the day workmen, stripped of clothing and beaten to a pulp by being whirled and thrashed against the beams of the roof and the machinery beneath. It was almost unrecognizable. Getzner was In charge of the 'Wght' shift" whose duty it is to clean np the mill each night and have it ready for the day workmen. His force consisted of about fifty Poles and Italians. Getzner had reported one of the men, who is known only as "No. 203," to Superintendent S. W. Fancber for being lax in bis work. The superintendent called the man np and severely reprimanded htm before his companions. Sullenly "No. 203" went back to work .and -Immediately began fomenting trouble among his associates, with whom he apparently bad great influence. Getzner wee told by Superintendent Fancber to keep "Nta. 203" near him and to eee that be did bis fuil share of the work. Getzner carried out these instructions and narrowly escaped death three times by "acddwits" caused by the carelessness of bis CsOdw workmen.

The rope is very strong. "It would almost hold a locomotive," Superintendent Fancher said. Suddenly Getzner was seized by his companions and, while he was held, some one tied the rope about his feet and ankles. The room showed that he fought terrifically for his life. The free end of the rope was then passed over the revolving shaft a couple of times and held until it "took hold."
