Bellinger showed us the < other day a chip cut out of a tree t which contained the land mark cut on it fifty years ago. While survey- c ing, Mr. Bellinger ran the line to a 1 certain tree, and Mr. M. 0. Kinard told him that was the line tree, for he had cut the mark on it fifty years ago. The growth of the tree had t completely covered the mark, but on cutting into it the mark was found , as perfect as could be. ' ran The party of gentlemen who went J on a deer hunt down in Hampton t county returned Friday night. They r killed three deer?two does and a 2 buck. J. A. Wyman, Esq., killed the 1 first doe, G. Frank Bamberg the other, while several of the party had shots at the buck. They brought ^ back a lot of the venison, the hides, \ and the antlers of the buck. They r had^a big time, but the mosquitoes r and red bugs were pretty bad. i The clipping referred to in the let ter from Olar, in regard to prohibi- j tion in Spartanburg county, is too ( long for our columns, but it simply s states that prohibition has Helped * business in Spartanburg, and backs j up the statement by quoting the mer- g chants of the city, the bankers, real \ estate men, and in fact almost every j class of business men. The officers of ^ the law says there has been a big im- : provement in the moral atmosphere of the city since the dispensaries were 1 voted put. ! The State board of canvassers de cided that the dispensary election in 1 Kershaw county was illegal because 1 two ballot boxes were used, thereby 1 destroying the secrecy of the ballot. '< It was never the intention of the law that two boxes should be used in vot- ( ing for or against the sale of liquor. < The other box provided for is for 1 casting ballots as to distribution of 1 the profits. This matter being al- 1 ready settled for Bamberg county, < only one box will be used m the ap- J proaching election. 1 Mr. Samuel Dibble, in replying to a statement of the Branchville news- 1 paper, says that Branchville county, 1 if formed, will be the poorest county , in the State, as it will have only s $1,750,000 of taxable property, and < that the taxes in the county would i be very high. Six mills levy on this I amount of taxable property would i only raise $10,500, and this would be i a very high county levy. Three < mills, which is the levy of Bamberg i county, would only raise $5,250, i which would not go very far toward ; paying expenses. ; Read J. T. O'Neal's real estate ad. in this issue, He has some desirable property on his list. Alderman M. M. Smoak has resigned, as he will leave town in a short time and move to Young's Island. His successor will be elected on Monday, the 19th instant. , C. F. Rizer will receive this week < three carloads of fine buggies, includ- i ing every style you may want, and all : finp iohs. He has also iust received a car Foad of American & Ell wood 1 wire fencing. Call and get prices. ] We received the first open boll of < cotton for this season Monday after- 1 ,ioon from Mr. C. F. Rizer at Olar. i He says the customer who brought it : in stated that he had plenty of open < :otton. No doubt a bale will be put ] on the market in this county in a i week or two. In reference to the employment of an attorney by the county board of ; control, the chairman states that he 1 was advised to do so by the attorney j general, on account of the many com- ^ plications arising during the putting ] into practice of an entirely new sys- ! tern of handling liquor. We were not ; asked to make this statement, but do 1 so in justice to the board. j July Honor Roll. 1 The following subscribers paid their 1 subscription to The Herald during the month of July: J G Brabham, Mrs J E Varn, ] Wm Ealv.

Pink Franklin, the negro who shot md killed Constable Henry Valentine ind wounded Mr. W. N. Carter near < 3ope last week, was caught at Den- ] mark last Thursday by Senator S. G. < Mayfield. The negro said he was on 1 his way to Bamberg to give himself i up when taken in charge. Mr. May- : field 'phoned Sheriff Dukes, of i Orangeburg, who came over and car- ! ried the prisoner to Columbia, where ] he is now lodged in the penitentiary. ] Several negroes connected with the ' murder have been lodged in jail at < Orangeburg. 1 The negro's story of the killing is i that Valentine came into his house i /InvrKrwUf Arvrl ok a4- kitvi t |USt ueiux c uajnguv aim onvc iiiiii, ? the ball taking effect in his shoulder. < rhat he then shot both Valentine and ] barter. The people of the Cope sec-' s tion were much stirred up against E. i 3. Spires, for whom the negro work- i 3d, and things were made very un- i pleasant for him. He denies that he j ?ave the negro a pistol and told him ] to shoot the white men if they came ( for him, neither did he assist Frankin in making his escape. Franklin's wife is said to have beat Valentine after he was shot and lying lelpless in the house, and also attackid him with an axe. She was arrestid and carried to jail. i W. N. Carter, who was wounded luring the shooting, is a brother-inaw of Mr. Spires. * Bamberg Graded School. At a recent meeting of the trustees, ^ he faculty of the State high school ( lepartment was completed by the ? ilection of two new teachers -Miss Louise Sarratt, of Gaffney, and Miss y fessie Huey, of Rock Hill. These eachers come very highly recom- \ nended and will add strength to the >. dready strong faculty under the dirvf Prinrinal H_ G. Sheridan, r Miss Sarratt will teach in the litrary department and Miss Huey vill teach stenography and typevriting in the commercial departnent. Tuition in these two departnents is free to all the boys and girls n Bamberg county. The course of study outlined is Kjual to that offered by any prepara;ory or high school in the State. Completing this course a student ;hould enter and accomplish sopho- < nore work in any of our colleges, or should have a fine academic and business education, well fitting him for :he active duties of life. To complete the course in the Bamberg ? graded school means that the work nust be done. Teachers in the high school departnent will be required to do departnent work instead of grade work. This plan will give opportunity for -Via / Uoriloir OQPVI tpQ^flPr's hpst vork along special lines and will j aringeach teacher in contact with i ill high school pupils. ] All boys and girls in Bamberg ^ jounty who desire to avail themselves )f the advantages offered either in j ;he literary or commercial (stenog- ( raphy and typewriting) department i ivill communicate with Superinten- ( ient H. G. Sheridan who will give nformation about board and textDooks. _ By the yellow light of a lantern, j :he tired picnickers were packing up ! to go home, says The Minneapolis j Journal. Suddenly a young girl ! stepped into the illumination and in- ? stantly a loud outcry arose. "What is the idea," they demanded, "in < blacking up for a Fourth of July pic- 1 tiic?" The young girl whipped out 1 a pocket mirror and saw that one < sheek was quite black. Then, turn- 1 ing reproachfully to the young man < at her side, she said: "Clarence, < your fountain pen has been leaking 1 again." 1 THE EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING. The Local Circle of Leaguers Pass Resolutions Favoring Prohibition Movement. The regular monthly business meeting of the Epworth League was held Tuesday night at the Methodist church. The reports of the several officers showed that the league is in good condition and is doing a good work. The report of the fourth vice president was especially interesting. This work is in the mission department, and the work which is being done by Miss Esma Delk as fourth it-1 ns\ nvnoirlanf io Tirol 1 aF P ATT) V1V/C pi COlU^llb XO ?? V^II VA W*.? mendation; the mill chapel is being run in part by the league, and several of its members are regular attendants there and help in the services. The league passed resolutions expressing the sentiment of the body as being heartily in favor of the movement for prohibition, and expressing the hope and belief that it will be a successful agitation. The very strong sermon of Rev. Peter Stokes Sunday a week ago on- this line was commended. An article in the Southern Christian Advocate, showing that prohibition has helped Spartanburg in every particular, was read by the president. The Epworth League is having interesting meetings every Tuesday evening, and a large crowd of young people and some of the older ones are present to take part m tnem eacn time. Reunion of Company G. We return many thanks to Mr. J. C. Copeland, secretary of Co. G., for a full report of the recent reunion. However, we do not use it, as the reunion was covered by a correspondent last week. Resolutions were adopted by the company on the deaths 3f comrades H. R. Pelham and J. K. Kirkland. The company decided to hold their next reunion at Bethesda next year, to take place the last rhursday in July. Hark Covered by Growth. Mr. L. N. Bellinger, one of the eldest surveyors in South Carolina, has made a curious find in the way ! ^i an over-grown tree n ark which was used for marking a line. While j down on the nlantation of Mr. 0. B. ' Kinard, near Ehrhardt, he was seek- ; ing to reestablish the boundaries of Mr. Kinard's plantation and his measurement pointed to a tree, a . huge sweet gum, as one of the marks. The tree bore no outward signs of evzr having been marked in any way, but at the word of Mr. Bellinger an axe was procured and the tree cut into and about five inches from the surface there was found a perfect sross mark about two inches long. From the growth of the tree, as shown by the wood, the mark was made about 45 years ago. The land mark is perfectly preserved and is an interesting bit of wood. Mr. Bellinger has it in his possession and will place it with his interesting collection )f such things. New Advertisements. G. L. Kinard?Lost. G. E. Hutto & Sons?Lumber. A. M.

The Charleston newspapers are in jreat trepidation lest the South Carolina legislature enact a prohibition aw at its next session. Their alarm s wrell founded for that is most likey what is to happen.?Spartanburg Journal. The latest nature story is to the effect that a cat was bitten a dozen cimes by a rattlesnake and was not rilled. If the cat had been bitten sight times and had lived we might iave believed the story on account of the fact that every well regulated oat has nine lives, but having been ioitten a dozen times, we cannot get the number down somehow. HAD TO MAKE GOOD, Recreant Swain Haled to Altar by His Strenuous Sweetheart. HE SAID HE WAS SICK. But'Girl Found Him In Brooklyn and Her Arrival Miraculously Cured Him. Back to Maiden, Mass., He Wei^t and Wedding Bells Rang Merrily. Young Lochinvar stepped down from the pedestal of strenuous romance on the 4th of June and gallantly escorted to his centuries old place or uonor miss Ethel May Towns, who figuratively bore away in her arms the shrinking form of Clifford A. Sampson of Brooklyn. As a means of swift conveyance the bride's choice of the Boston "flier" to carry her swain to the altar of her home town, Maiden, Mass., had young Lochinvar's fiery steed beaten to a slow trot. It Is the bride's secret where towers the castle in Brooklyn in which her sweetheart languished. She is a society girl of Maiden, and the town had long looked forward to the wedding on June 4 as a social event. Five hundred Invitations were sent out for the ceremony in the Maplewood Methodist Episcopal church, where her father. ex-Alderman Fred H. Towns, is assistant pastor. Miss Towns received a telegram from Brooklyn the morning of the 3d announcing that her sweetheart was seriously ill and could not be moved for - -3 some time. Trie message was signea "Doctor." The social heart of Maiden almost stopped beating when each recipient of an Invitation to the wedding ^as notified that It had been postponed Indefinitely. Bride Her Own Champion. Speculation as to the cause centered around Miss Towns' fiance. He had been introduced to Maiden as .Clifford A. Sampson of Brooklyn. He had told their friends that he was a physical instructor in the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian association. Miss Towns met him in New York two years ago, and later he was a frequent visitor at her home. The engagement of the young couple was announced in February, and the parents were delighted over their daughter's choice. In spite of the somewhat mystifying telegram from the Brooklyn physician "THE NAME MAY BE FICTITIOUS." \fiss Towns' love and faith were un shaken. Although only twenty, she proved herself intrepid. She resented any suggestion that all was. not well. She aunounced her departure for Brooklyn, accompanied by her cousin, Mrs. Allan Corless. They arrived in Brooklyn late on Monday night and Tuesday set forth on their search for the stricken bridegroom to be; The general secretary* of the Y. M. C. A branches said: 4,The name may be fictitious. We have no records among our employees or members of such a man." Each of the several branches was called lip by telephone in order to confirm the general secretary's report None apparently knew Clifford A. Sampson. Messenger boys were sent to every address of a Sampson in the borough of Brooklyn until the right one was found. Got "New Lease of Life." The only clew to the manner in which Sampson gre ^ted the appearance of his *-t- - J 1~ loyal sweetneart is rurnisueu iu mc following eloquent dispatch sent from Maiden: "Obtaining a new lease of life by reason of his Intended's persuasive eloquence and fully recognizing the trying position in which she had already been placed and what she would have undergone had the wedding been postponed, as it was fully intended to be, ho that hp would LUC ? IWU1 bv b/v \*vv?v?w?4 ...?? ? _ .. gather his latent physical forces together and make an effort to return to Maiden and the home of his bride to be." Before the happy couple, after the reunion In Brooklyn, took the "flier" for Boston Miss Towns dispatched a telegram telling of her success. The 500 Invitations were sent out again on the double quick. Sampson and Miss Towns arrived in Boston at 1:30 p. m. and took a car for Maplewood. The wedding was celebrated, the bride's father tying the knot, at the time originally planned. A. reception was held later in the parlors of the church and was attended by several hundred guests. ip IAT^TBR AB H A M| ?
