To Vote on Prohibition.
Columbia, April 27.?Of the 24
out of 41 counties in the state remaining
"wet" under the CareyCothran
dispensary law seven are
about to vote on the question, with
the almost certain result that all
seven will vote out the dispensaries.
Although in many of the counties,
particularly those embracing the
larger cities, the new system is proving
successful financially, the tendency
throughout the state is steadily
toward prohibition.
The counties which will vote on
the issue in the near future are,
Richland, Chesterfield, Barnwell,
Bamberg, Laurens, Kershaw, and
Lexington.
SHE LIVED WITH NEGROES.
Strange Case of White Child Who
Was Raised by Colored Woman.
Savannah, April 25.?A strange
case of a little white girl that had
lived all her life with an old negro
woman came to light today, and tomorrow
the child will be taken from
her negro foster mother and placed
in an institution.
Viola Glover, 8 years old, is one of
the prettiest and brightest children
(of the first grade of the Bernard
school. In some way it became
noised about that the child lived
with negroes; that, while unquestionably
she was white, she yet went by
the name of Viola Reddy among the
negroes.
Captain Sayers, of the Salvation
| Army, was advised of the circumi
stances. He investigated and found
the child with old Mary Reddy, on
Duffy street, where none but negroes
lived.
The old woman's story was that
the child had been given her by a
negro nurse when but eight days old.
Both the woman and child wept
bitterly over the prospective separation.
The Uses of Adversity.
A politician was once making a canvas
of a county of Arkansas, stopped
at certain farm house for a drink
of water. Said he to the woman
who answered his knock; "I observe
that there is a good deal of ague in
this country. A great drawback. It
must unfit a man for work entirely,"
"Gener'ly it do," said the woman.
"Still, when my man Tom has a i?ght
hard fit of the shakes, we fasten the
churn dasher to him, an he brings
the butter inside of fifteen minutes.
Greenville's Record.
Both Kentucky and Tennesse are
inclining toward prohibition and
other States almost as famous for
their liquors are bending in the same
direction. It begins to look like pro
- - - * j *
hibition for the entire couniry a iew
years hence. Most of us have grown
up with the idea that while prohibition
was a mighty good thing it was
not practicable. The record Greenville
has made since the county went dry,
as compared with bar-room and dispensary
days, is astonishing?an almost
unanswerable argument in
favor ^of prohibition.?G r e e n v i 11 e

AN AGED MAN KILLS HlilSELF.
S. H. Moore Blows off Top of his Head
With a Shotgun.
Spartanburg, April 26.?Mr. S.
H. Moore, an old man about 70 years
of age, committed suicide by blowing
the top of his head off with a shotgun
at his home at Glendale this afternoon
about 4:30 o'clock. Despondency
on account of ill health was the
cause of the deed.
For some weeks Mr. Moore has
been in wretched health, so much so
that his mind was affected. He imagined
that some one was after him
to take his life and requested that a
gun be kept handy so that he could
defend himself.
His condition grew worse yesterday.
He became more frenzied and
his wife went to call a physician in
the afternoon. While sne was gone
he deliberately took the gun that had
been kept near to satisfy his whim
for protection and blew the top of
his head off.
When his wife returned she found
him in his room with the top of his
head torn off and the empty gun in
his hands. His brains were scattered
over the floor and the walls were
spattered with blood.
Mr. Moore was a feeble old man
and for years has not been able to
work. He had1 two children who
worked in the Glendale mills and
supported him. Some years ago he
married a rather young woman who
cared for him with tender care and
protected him from harm.
Mr. Moore was a well known character
around Glendale, having lived
there more or less all his life.
The coroner was summoned this afternoon
shortly after the tragedy.
The verdict was that the deceased
came to his death by a shotgun
wound, inflicted by a gun from his
own hands.
Early Closing.
We, the undersigned merchants of
the city of Bamberg, hereby pledge
ourselves to close our places of business
at 6:30 o'clock in the afternoon
from May 15th to August 15th, except
Saturdays, in order that our
employees may have some recreation
during the summer months.

1 State Convict Suicides.
, Columbia, . April 27.?A white convict
named Strickland, sent up from

yesterday afternoon. He

on account of his condition,

Where the Money Goes.
i We frequently hear the jug trade

pie seem to think that the whiskey
sold in the dispensary is a product of
the State and therefore we must buy
it. We dare say that the jug trade
whiskey of equal quality can be
bought for less than the dispensary
liquor and it would be a saving to
the people of the county, if they
must have liquor, to patronize the
jug trade.?Chesterfield Advertiser.
FAMOUS MRS. THUHB.
She is One of the Littlest People in
the World.
Like a wispy little breeze out of
the past, came Mrs. Tom Thumb,
Countess Magri, through Shreveport
from Kansas City yesterday, on her
way to San Antonio, Tex., to join
the Gentry Bros. show. Accompanying
the wee lady was her husband,
Count Magri, and Baron Madri, her
brother-in-law.

who has been one of the
world's human wonders, was born.

Gen. Tom Thumb, and they were

In the story books and newspapers,
the tiny couple filled many pages and
when Gen. Tom Thumb died much
sympathy was extended to his little
wife by crowned heads, rulers and
mere folks. But twenty-two years

Liked Old Ways Best.
A painfully bashful young man
proposed to his girl by means of a
phonograph, to the waxen cylinders
of which he had previously told his
love. The girl was greatly surprised
and not displeased to hear her lover's
declaration, but the idea of this
betrothal did not appeal to her.
Accordingly she sent her little brother
with a note which read as follows:
"Dear Sir?If you have courage
enough, you might come over and
tell me what you have to say, but if
you haven't, stay at home, for I'll be
jiggered if I am going to be hugged
and kissed by a phonograph if i
never get a chance to say 'Yes.'"
Why She Was ilad.
"Foreign relations,'' said Senator
Cullom, the chairman of the senate's
committee on foreign relations, "are
delicate things, and must be handled
delicately.
"Foreign relations, in fact, remind
me of a newly married couple I
heard about the other day.
"Their life had been very happy
for a year. Not a cloud had marred
their perfect felicity. Then, one
morning, the wife came down to
breakfast morose and wretched.
"She was snappish with her husband.
She would hardly speak to
him. And for a long while she refused
to explain her unwonted conduct.
"Finally, though, the young man
insisting that he be told why his
wife was treating him so baaiy, sne
looked up with tears in her eyes and
said:
" 'John Smith, if I dream again
that you kissed another woman I
won't speak to you again as long as
Hive.'"
With Dispensary Liquor?
On last Tuesday Frank Felder, a
colored man from the Bowman
neighborhood, undertook to paint
Orangeburg red, and as a consequence
he fell into the hands of the
guardians of the peace. He had
acted so outrageously that Mayor
Doyle determined to make an example
of him. So he fined him on
different counts $120, which Felder
paid. This is a pretty big sum for a
man of Felder's means to blow in in
one night. Two other colored sinners
contributed thirty dollars to the

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
ADDISON JOHNSON ARRESTED IN
COLUHBIA LAST flONDAY.
He Is Suspected of Murdering 1*1. B.
Yarn In This Town Nearly
Four Years Ago.
It is an old but true saying that
"murder will out". On Thursday
night, November 19th, 1903, M. B.
Varn, a merchant of this town was
murdered while on his way home.
He was knocked in the head with
some instrument, it was never known
what, only a short distance from his
home on Carlisle street, and died a
few hours afterward without ever
regaining consciousness. There was
no struggle, the assassin struck a
powerful blow from behind which
crushed his skull.
Suspicion pointed to several par
*" J 3
ties, ana two negroes were arresieu
and kept in jail for several weeks.
Nothing could be proved on them,
however, and they were discharged
without trial.
The crime has often been discussed
by our people, but no clue could be
found. The citizens of Bamberg have
always taken a great interest in this
murder, for it was a bold one, occurring
on one of the prominent residence
streets of the town, but all
efforts to appehend the assassin
proved futile.
Therefore much excitement and
interest was created here last Monday
when it became known that
Addison Johnson, a negro, had been
arrested in Columbia charged with
the murder of Mr. Varn. Johnson
is a cook who formerly lived here.
At the time of the murder he was
cooking at Johnson's hotel. He has
been living in Columbia for some
months, working at different hotels.
The story is an interesting one.
Last week Mayor Dickinson received
a communication from the authorities
in Jacksonville, Fla? stating
that a young negro giving his name
as Frank Nimmons and Bamberg as
his home, was under arrest there.
A few days ago Nimmons dashed into
the police station at Jacksonville
and cried out that he was not guilty
* * . * .1 i 11 :
ana a lot 01 otner taiK, giving evidences
of insanity. The sergeant in
charge questioned him and he told
his name, said he was from Bamberg,
and wanted to get right with God
but couldn't do so until he had told
what he knew about a murder.
He then went on to tell about the
murder of Mr. Varn, and said a
negro named Addison Johnson had
asked him to go and help knock
Varn down and rob him. At first he
consented, but later declined, and a
short time afterwards Mr. Varn was
I murdered. That the matter had
preyed on his mind ever since and he
could not rest easy until he told it.
On account of the startling nature
of his story and also because he
seemed out of his right mind, the
Jacksonville police locked him up
and communicated with Mayor Dickinson,
who, knowing Johnson was in
Columbia, wired there to have him
arrested, which was done.
When first arrested Johnson claimed
he was not from Bamberg. He
had been going under the name of
Baker for some time. As soon as
the arrest was made, Mayor Dickin
son was notified, and Chief Hand
left here Monday night to bring
Johnson back. It was first reported
here that Johnson had confessed, but
this proved to be a mistake. He did
tell the detective who arrested him
that he knocked a man in the head
in Bamberg, but he was alluding to
a gambling row he had here with
some other negroes several years
ago. Johnson was a well-known
character around town. He was a
good cook, but a rather trifling
negro who loved to gamble. He is
about 25 years old.
Frank Nimmons is a brother of
Arthur Nimmons, the barber, and is
about twenty years old. He has
been in Jacksonville about a year.
Only a few days ago his brother
received a letter from some friend
of Frank's in Jacksonville saying
that he (Frank) was very sick.
Arthur then went to Mayor Dickinson
and asked that he communicate
with the authorities at Jacksonville
and have Frank put in the hospital
-fnr or spnfc hnmp hp. of
OllU ViMVU JkVi V* V 7
course, not knowing anything of the
trouble. Last Saturday he sent his
brother Purvis to Jacksonville to
look after Frank and bring him
home, but before Purvis arrived
Frank had gone to the police station
and told his story. It seems that he
had been showing signs of insanity
recently, and this led those who
knew him to write his brother.
Not until Monday did news come
here, when Purvis wrote his brother
and enclosed a clipping from a Jacksonville
paper, telling of Frank's
arrest. The paper stated that he
had been examined by physicians
after being placed in jail and pronounced
insane. Magistrate W. R.
Wright left Monday night for Jacksonville
to bring Frank back. What
will be done after he arrives here
depends entirely on his condition.
If he is really insane he will no doubt
be sent to the asylum, but in case
his mind gets right he will probably
be detained as a witness against
Johnson. The story has caused much
i comment and some surprise here.

FIREBURGS CAUGHT IN YORK. jj|
Believed to be Members of an Or* . v||
ganlzed Band.
Rock Hill, April 26.?The city :|Jg|
has been much interested in the re- |1|
ports which came here yesterday by
telephone and persons coming from * that
section of the capture of three , ;
negroes, who, it is said, were caught
red handed in an attempt to burn -||g
the barn of a Mr. Garrison in Steel . ..$Jj
Creek, just over the river from
here. There seems to have been a .
regularly organized band of firebugs
at work in that community, there
having been seven barns burned j
since Jan. 1 of this year. The last ^JjS
was that of Mr. Frank Erwin, Which J
' 1 5 _f_Li J , . . -V rlgH

who lives not far from Erwin's, coneluded
that he would watch Tuesday
night, thinking that an attempt
might be made on his property next. t|
He did so in company with a nei^hborand
about midnight their vigil g
was broken by the approach of three \
or more negro men wno came creep- . \-||
ing on all fours toward the barn. : ';M
When the negroes were almost to
the barn they were called on to halt V ffl
and when they broke and ran instead ^
they were followed by loads of shot
from the guns of Garrison and his via
friend. This failed to stop them, J
however, and Mr. Garrison and his \ A
partner chased them with hounds
and captured three. They were later . .;|?
turned over to the sheriff of the
county. There are rumors that one ' J
of the negroes has confessed.
