Thursday, Dec. 27th, 1906
City council has the warm thanks
of the citizens generally for their
wise action in forbidding the discharge
of pistols and fireworks on
Main street. This has been a great
nuisance heretofore, and should have
been stopped long ago.
m
The latest crop report of the government,
issued last week, puts the
crop this year way above that of last
year, and of course the price of cotton
is still going down. Even if there
has been a larger crop of cotton made
this year than last, we do not think
/ . the difference could be so great as
/.rvTTnwmont rannrf mnlfps it:
LtlC ^UVCIUIUWIV 4V|/Wi ? >um.w ...
The remedy is to plant less cotton.
i
It was not the intention of city
council to allow the placing of goods
on the sidewalks of Main street. The
notice published last week was not
exactly clear on this point, hence our
criticism. The right was granted
fruit dealers to use the curb just
outside the sidewalk and no merr-"v
'?
chant has used the sidewalks. In
justice to the authorities this statement
should be made.
ROBBER ARRESTED IN FLORENCE.
m ?
Allen Nelson, White, Who Robbed a
Store in Denmark, Caught.
Allen Nelson alias Mansfield alias
Smith, white, was arrested here last
night by Officer Joe Turbeville on
the charge of robbery which he committed
at Denmark. Nelson and
others broke in a store at Denmark
a few nights ago and stole several
valuable articles and made their escape.
i
The authorities at Denmark wired
.
the police all over the country giving
a description of the robbers and ,
Chief Koopman on being notified :
kept a sharp lookout for the criminals
and by doing a clever piece of detec- j
tive work the chief located a woman ,
of ill repute in the red light district
Af this r?itv This woman had been
' sent here from Sumter by Nelson <
and it was understood that Nelson ]
was to meet her here last night. ]
a'/ ; Detective R. C. Hardwick, of Den- ]
mark, came here last night and ,
identified Nelson as he got off the i
train from Augusta and he was nabbed
before he knew what had ,
happened. He was carried to the
guard house where he and the woman
remained until 4 o'clock this morning
when Detective Hardwick carried
them back to benmark on the
early train. v
The authorities here got a set of
.. knives and forks and a typewriter
, from Nelson which he had gotten
from the store in Denmark. It is
said that Nelson is a notorious robber
and he is wanted in several other
places for crimes of stealing. He is
wanted in Augusta, Ga., for stealing
a horse and buggy.
When Chief Koopman received notice
of the robbery at Denmark he
was watching a man in the city by
. the name of Herbert Burgess, white,
who was implicated in the same rob*
^ j ?
Dery out .Burgess seeuieu w siucu a
rat and he left here but was later
arrested by the Denmark authorities.
There were some wild rumors on the
streets here this morning about the
affair here last night. It was reported
that Nelson tried to hang
himself with his neck tie in the
guard house but this proved false.?

NEGRO KILLED BY TRAIN
CARDOZO RIVERS MET HIS DEATH
BY FALLING FROM TRAIN.
Was Riding on the Platform?Instantly
Killed?Railroad Held Blameless
by Coroner's Jury.
Last Thursday night a young negro
named Cardozo Rivers boarded the
8 o'clock passenger train, and at a
point just above the W. H. Bamberg
place a few miles above town he fell
off and was killed. It appears that
the negro was from the Kearse section
of this county, but was on his
way to .Govan. He was drinking and
was riding on the platform when he
liaawl cAmo wilfl riimnr
ICIA Ullt TT t- X1VU1 U kJV/AAAV TTAAU & MAAAV*
that he was pushed off by some other
darkies, but we don't think there is
anything to it. No doubt it is just
a case of a drunken negro riding on
the platform and losing his balance.
The negro's head struck a cross-tie
which crushed his skull, and death
must have been almost instantaneous.
Coroner Ziegler held an inquest Friday
morning, and several witnesses
were examined. We have not been
able to see a copy of the testimony
taken at the inquest, but the verdict
is in accordance with the above facts
and exonerates the railroad company
from all blame. The negro was
buried at the expense of the county.
Home Wedding.
Tuesday morning of this week at
nine o'clock Mr. W. D. Roberts and
Miss Marion Kearse were happily
married. The wedding occurred at
the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. J. Kearsq, in the Kearse
section of this county, about fifteen
miles below Bamberg. The marriage
was a quiet home affair, only the immediate
relatives of the couple being
present. Rev. R. A. Yongue, of
Barnwell, was the officiating minis- j
ter. Shortly after the ceremony the I
young couple drove to Olar and took
the Seaboard for a trip to Tampa
and other points in Florida. They
will make Bamberg their home, and
will be "at home" to their friends
after next week.
Mr. Roberts is a most excellent
young man. He is a native of Richland
county, but has been a resident
of Bamberg for the past two years.
He is first assistant at the Carlisle
Fitting School, and is well liked both
as man and teacher. He has made
many friends in Bamberg, being
prominent in social and church life,
and he and his bride will find a warm
place in the hearts of our people.
The bride is well-known here. She
was formerly a student in the Fitting
School, and later has made her home
here for a good part of the time with
her sister, Mrs. W. P. Jones. Her
numerous friends will rejoice that
she will again make this city her
home. The Herald joins the well
wishers of the couple in sincere congratulations
and good wishes.
Death of Mr. A. P. Gray.
Mr. A. P. Gray, of the Olar section,
died at his home last Sunday night,
after an illness of only four days.
He was in Bamberg Wednesday of
last week, and his friends remarked
how bright and cheerful he was.
Hemorrhagic fever was the cause of
his death, he being taken sick on
Thursday.
The burial took place at the Kearse
burying ? ground in the Buford's
Bridge neighborhood Tuesday about
twelve o'clock, the funeral being
attended by a large number of his
friends and relatives. Rev. R. A.
Yongue, his pastor, conducted the
religious services, then the Knights
of Pythias took charge, the burial
service of the order being read by
Prelate J. F. Carter. Mr. Gray was
a member of Bamberg lodge, and
several Knights from here attended
and took part in the service, other
Knights from the Olar lodge being
present and assisting in laying their
friend and brother away to rest.
Mr. Gray was a resident of this
town for several years, being chief
of police, which position he resigned
to go back to his farm. Only a few
years ago he was married to Miss
r?Vhs-Y rtnfk or>
ailU Oiic wiwa an xaui^i
survive him. He had many warm
friends in Bamberg, and not only his
Pythian brethren but numbers of
others will regret to know of his
death. He was a man of many fine
traits of character, and will be missed
in the community and county.
He was a good citizen, one we can
ill afford to lose. Mr. Gray was
about forty-six years old.
A number of members of the
Methodist Church in Bennettsville
signed a protest against the action
of Conference in expelling Rev. C.
W. Creighton from the ministry and
the church. They also sent Mr.
Creighton a check for $111. This
Creighton case seems likely to stir
up considerable of a mess yet,
COTTON MILL HEN TO HEET.
Gathering of Manufacturers to b3 Held
in Spartanburg.
Spartanburg, Dec. 18.?The semiannual
meeting of the South Carolina
Cotton Manufacturers' association
will be held in Spartanburg on
Jan. 2. The meeting will be called
to order in the Spartan mills' hall.
The association has in its membership
of 110 practically every mill
president and manager in the State.
The last meeting of the association
was held at Lake Toxaway, N. C.,
last summer. The meeting was one
of importance and was very largely
attended by the mill men.
The association has put itself on
record as favoring many reforms in
the cotton mills, including a compulsory
education law, a marriage license
law, a child labor law and the
reduction of hours of work. It is
probable that there will be recommended
to the legislature these improvements,
and the Spartanburg
meeting for this reason is expected
to be one of great importance. The
conditions generally in the State will
be discussed and it is probable that
the agreements formulated here will
be brought out in a recommendation
to the legislature.
Peoples Drug Company.
For some time past a movement to
ooen a new drug store in Bamberg
I has been under way. A preliminary
meeting of the subscribers to the
capital stock was held last Wednesday
afternoon, and it was decided to
apply for a charter at once. The
capital stock is to be $4,000, whiqh
has all been subscribed, there being
a number of stockholders. Drs.
C. E. Kinsey and J. P. Ott, and E. T,
LaFitte, Esq., will be the board of
corporators, and books of subscription
will be opened as soon as the
necessary papers can be received
from the Secretary of State.
It is proposed to start business as
soon as possible. The company will
I occupy the store on Main street now
j occupied by M. C. Sandifer, which
will be repaired and put in first-class
condition. The company will em ploy
a registered pharmacist and
give the very best service possible.
Store Robbed at Bowman.
Bowman, December 20.?The store
of Evans and Easterling was entered
last night by breaking the glass out
of the front. The money tills were
broken open and alL of the small
change taken out. Six dollars in
silver in one of the tills escaped the
notice of the burglars. The fact that
anything at all was left is taken as
evidence that the work was not that
of a professional. Several gold filled
watches were among the things
taken. This is the first robbery here
in years. \
Interesting Figures.
Some interesting figures have been
compiled on the loss of life on the
railroads in South Carolina since
1883 by the railroad commission.
The tables also show the number of
injured. They are as follows:
Killed: 1883, 38; 1893, 38; 1903,
107; 1906, 198.
Injured: 1883, 49; 1893, 97; 1903,
1,006; 1906, 1,148.
These figures are for the years
ending June 30 and do not include
the wrecks in this State for the past
six months. They will be sent in for
the year 1906 to the legislature.
When Rockefeller Financed a War.
The Woman's Home Companion foi
January contains a remarkable interview
with John D. Rockefeller in which
the richest man not only reveals several
surprising sides to his character, but illustrates
them by a number of striking
photographs loaned exclusively to the
magazine. Among the incidents related
of Mr. Rockefellers career is the following:
It happened about forty-four years ago,
when Abraham-Lincoln was neatly suffocated
with trouble. New troops were
required and money needed. Rockefeller,
then a young man, had not as yet been
accused of being a billionaire. He was
strong for the Union, however. His office
was at that time on River street, Cleveland.
Capt. Scofield came in one day
with thirty, raw recruits. The young
business man saw what was needed,
walked to his small safe, took out a bag
of real money, giving to each man $10.
When outside one recruit remarked,
"God, but he must be rich." And another
said, "Yes, they say he is a rich
man?that he is worth as much as
$10,000!"
