Robert Connelly, a negro, who lived on the plantation of Capt. J. M. Dannelly, near Ehrhardt, was brought here last Friday evening and lodged in jail on a warrant of Magistrate J. C. Copeland, charged with having killed his wife. The killing occurred last Thursday, and an inquest over the body of the woman was held by Magistrate Copeland. The constable brought along with him a section of the woman's skull bone, which had been blown off by a load of small shot from a gun in the hands of her husband. Connelly claims that the killing was ? ? ti 1 - -1 3 u.\ accidental, ne says ne pictieu up nu gun to go out hunting, and as he was about to go out the front door of his cottage with the gun across his shoulder his wife took hold of the barrel of the gun behind him, causing the hammer to strike against the door facing and explode the charge. The whole charge entered near the top of her head, causing almost instant death. Court Proceedings. When The Herald went to press Wednesday afternoon of last week the jury was out in the case of Durant vs. Byrd and Rhoad. A verdict was returned for the defendants, and that they pay the balance of purchase price, $140, and interest from January, 1889. In the case of J. B. Guess vs. the Atlantic Coast Line, the jury gave a verdict of $157.18 against the railroad. Pearl Lee Bessinger vs. the Mutual Fire Insurance Go. This was a suit to enforce payment for an insurance policy, the property insured having been destroyed by fire. The jury gave plaintiff a verdict for $1,457.18, but the judge granted a new trial. J. J. Smoak, Geo. R. Bullock, and J. S. Mitchell were given a verdict of $25.00 each as damages for being left here by the three o'clock train. They wanted to take the train, and Policeman Dickinson signaled the engineer who answered the signal, but the train,went on by. A non-suit was granted in the case of Smoak & McCary vs. A. J. Bennett. Mistrials were ordered in the cases of Branchville Pole & Tie Co. vs. H. M. Harvelly, and Harvelly vs. the Pole & Tie Co. The same jury tried both cases, and they stayed out about thirty hours without agreeing on a verdict. Onie Coleman, a negro woman, was given a verdict of $204.56 as damages against the Southern Railway. She was on the train and started to get off at Sato, when the train started off and threw her against a cross tie. Court adjourned Saturday evening, and a number of civil cases on the calendar were not reached. Bamberg Banking Company.

The students were glad to see Prof. Guilds again on duty Saturday after a brief illness. Rev. Mr. Wilson, the blind lecturer of Michigan, visited us on Thursday and made a very interesting talk on education. Mr. Wilson became blind when he tfas a boy six years old. Several students will spend Thanksgiving at home and with friends, while others are looking forward to a great reception at the school. Mr. H. N. Folk began his career as a cadet Fridav. We are glad to have such boys as "Shortie" with us. It is probable that the prospects for a base ball team for the coming season are better than has even been in the history of the school. We have several real good players, and with very little practice we will be able to wipe out everything that comes down the "pike." Cadet R. B. Spell spent the latter part of the week at home with relatives. The Kilgo Literary Society had a very lively time at their regular meeting Saturday night. Query; Resolved: That the study of Latin and Greek is a needless waste of time. Both sides did well. They brought out some very good points, both for and against, in a language and tone which shows that they are taking a deep interest in the work. For some time the cadets have been preparing for a minstrel show to be given at the C. F. S. chapel December 6th., and they are still practicing. It will be first-class, consisting of singing, music, dancing, speaking, joke cracking, etc. If you miss it you'll miss a treat. It is to be given for the benefit of the ball team.

The annual South Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, will convene in Gaffney to-day (Wednesday.) Bishop R. W. Morrison, of Alabama, will preside. This will be the first time he has been president of the South Carolina conference. He is a great preacher and the conference will give him a warm welcome. There will be nothing out of the ordinary business to transact. Last year the Creigjiton trial served to keep interest in the conference, vvrUl/kU ttrOO kcklrl in rVkliimhin at. a I WII1U1 WOO ll^iu 111 UUIUluun., v.. ? high tension throughout the session prolonged by this trial. This case, trial of which was held behind closed doors. Mr. Creighton himself not being allowed a copy of the testimony in the case until the trial is reviewed at the general conference, will not be touched upon by the coming conference. So far as the South Carolina conference is concerned, Rev. Creighton having been unfrocked and expelled from membership, is now no more connected with the conference. Not only that, but in the judgment of well informed laymen Creightonism will never be a live issue either in this State or at the general conference, Members of the conference and laymen who have served on reviewing boards at the general conference say that Mr.; Creighton has already forfeited his rights in the general conference by violating' the church law in preaching while his appeal was pending. Expression in another form of Creightonism?complaint that the South Carolina conference is run by a <4ring" of presiding elders in the bishop's cabinet?was heard at the recent gathering in Columbia, fair week of a number of Methodist laymen. But that those who were instrumental in bringing this meeting about did not represent the great body of Methodist laymen throughout the State, is shown, it is claimed by the fact that the opposite sentiment prevailed among a majority of those who attended the meeting the radical element in the gathering being defeated by the adoption of a resolution which nullified the object they were seeking. According to the remarks made at the gathering those who called the meeting think the most urgent need of the church not only in this State but throughout the South is lay representation in the bishop's cabinet, but they admit that according to the church law this can only be scured fropi the general conference. It was suggested by the more conservative at this gathering of laymen that this question of lay representation in the cabinet should be agitated in the church conferences, which choose the delegates to the twelve district conferences, which in turn choose delegates to the State conference. If there is real demand felt by the representative laymen of the State for this representation, it is argued, a sentiment will crystalize in this way in such force as to be felt at the general conference. But many laymen oppose having any lay representation in the cabinet. The cabinet consists of the presiding elders and the only object of lay representation would be to have the laymen take part in advising the bishop as to the assignment of preachers. The "average" laymen, it is said, wants to leave this to the presiding elders, whose business it is to study the needs of the various charges. Whether anything will be heard at the conference from this laymen's meeting remains to be seen. A resolution was adopted calling upon the chairman, Col. R. W. Simpson, to appoint one or three men from each district in the State for the ptirpose of organizing the laymen of the State and Col. Simpson said he would make the appointments, but it seems doubtful whether these appointees will get together soon enough to make a showing before the conference at Gaffney. Anti-Race Suicide Club. New York, Nov. 22.?Mrs. Clarence Burns, head of the Little Mothers' Aid society, proposes a novel scheme to increase the number of births in New York. She advocates the establishment of an anti-race suicide club in New York of members whose duty it would be to encourage young couples to raise large families. "I would suggest a list of prizes for mothers," she said. 4 The club might even go so far as to find suitable husbands for girls of marriageable age who are not yet wives. There would be a public treasury which could be called upon if need be for mothers who are too poor to furnish comforts for their children." Almost Perfect Clock. Cleveland, Nov. 24.?A clock has just been installed in the Case School of Applied Science in this city which is so nearly perfect that it has attracted the attention of the Smithsonian institute at Washington. As another mark of distinction tests have proved that the mechanism is so accurate that the clock will not vary more than 15 one thousandths of a second from the exact time in 24 hours. The clock will measure the minutest fraction of a second. Its only rival in accuracy is said to be a similar timepiece in Berlin. The construction of the Case school clock is so delicate that for protection it is surrounding by a glass jar, which is partly a vacuum. To protect the clock from disturbance the winding is accomplished by electricity. BIG CLEVELAND SHAKEUP. Present Plans Mark Many Men For the Slaughter. A transforaration is taking place In the makeup of the Cleveland American league team for 11)08. according to reliable information. The scheme of reorganization, It is said, calls for the following changes: Under present plans of the management half the pitching staff and half the infield will be replaced by new men. There will be a new outfielder and probably a new catcher. The pitchers upon whom Lajoie will rely next season are Joss, Llebhardt, Thielman and Berger. Bernhard and Hess, upon whom waivers were asked some time ago, will figure in deals, as will also Clarkson, who has failed to come up to expectations. It Art mntr At* motr n Af lvi An fhn liliuauco una.j vi uiaj uvw vu xuv, Cleveland payroll next season. It will depend largely on the showing made by the youngsters whom Larry will look over In the spring. If there seem to be two or three men capable of winning half their games in fast company, "Dusty," who is none too well satisfied with his berth there, may be traded. If, however, not more than one of the youngsters seems worth carrying, Rhoades will remain on the staff. Great hopes are placed on the two southpaws the Naps will try out next season, Lattimer and Graney. As to the infield, Bill Bradley and George Stovall are to be replaced, the former by George Perring and the latter by Lister, Daubert or Bill Lynch. When Bradley's hitting fell off in the spring of 1906 everybody thought it was only a temporary slump. When Bradley's arm was broken along in August he had just begun to rap the ball hard again, and then there seemed no doubt he had taken a slump. Bui this spring Bradley again failed to hit He has failed all summer. If he is still in a slump, it is one of the longest on record. His fielding, too, has deteriorated this year. Perring's 'great hitting and good fielding had much to do with keeping Toledo in first place during a large part of the American association season. He made a showing that was never expected of him by the Cleveland owners when they let him go, and he will now have the opportunity that would have been his this season had Somers, Kilfoyle and Lajoie had any idea that he was going to do so well and Bradley so poorly. The intention to replace Stovall is due to two reasons?first, Stovall's CAPTAIN NAPOLEON LAJOIE. assault on Lajoie with a chair, and. second, his failure to field up. to his past performances. Harry Bay is slated to go solely because his legs are in such shape that he is liable to be put out of the game for weeks by the least wrench, as he was both this season and last. Bemis and Clarke will again be Cleveland's standbys behind the bat If a good catcher can be picked up in a trade Wakefield will be swapped or sold; otherwise ne win suck to uu? arduous job. Football and Theology. Protest having been made that the game of football is not a proper sport for students of the theological school to indulge in. one of the members of the Princeton Theological seminary team has prepared a formidable list of quotations to prove that the game is referred to in the Bible, and, in fact, very excellent advice as to playing the game is found in the Old Testament. For instance, the time to root at a critical moment is found in Isaiah xxiii, 6, "Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle." Again, in Isaiah xxii, 18, there is this comment on the brutality of the game. "He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there thou shalt die." Praise for a good play is found in Galatians v, 7, "Ye did run well." The fate of the man who stumbles while making an end play is summed up in Psalms xxxviii, 16, "When my foot slippeth they magnify themselves against me." That in the old days it was the practice to have the center do the punting is shown in Deuteronomy mil, 15, "Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked." The value of knowing the material on the other side is brought out in Psalms Ixxiii, 17, "Then understood I their end." Ruth Dillon Record Holder. Ruth Dillon is the present holder of the record for a three-year-old over a half mile track. She took a second off the former record of 2:16*4Apparatus For Drying Football Toga.

Surrounded by a mob of curious but delighted people, a man walked up Market street late Saturday night balancing himself on the car rail like a tight-rope walker.

"Is he crazy or simply paying a bet?" queried the crowd. At Tenth and Market street the rail walker was halted by a policeman, who asked him what he was doing. At first the man refused to answer, but when the policeman threatened to arrest him ne said: "I'm a structural iron worker, and I thought I was on a girder twenty stories above ground. When I get jagged the only place I can walk is on the car rail."?Philadelphia Post. . \ THINK TWICE ACTONCE This is a good rule to follow at all times, but more especially when it confes to eatables, food strength ens the body, gives health and consequently happiness.
