We hated to do it, but the '" ppstoffice rules gave us no choice in ate matter. These subscribers got gpf. bt arrears, and we are not allowed to jgpdlBd the paper on long crecnc. :V\ At the Methodist Church last Sun?p: day there was no sermon by the glpl pastor, Rev. T. G. -Herbert, either morning or evening, these hours ^^ifeng used by IMorgan L. McKoon, ; 'of New York, national organizer- of f life Loyal Temperance Legion, who delivered addresses on temperance on both occasions. He is a very poor U' speaker, and thoroughly tired his speaking against the repeal of j| : the lien law in the Senate last Mon|g day, Senator Graydon, of Abbeville, Ig^ madfe the statement that he had re|{r; ceived from clerks of court in various ?p^ counties a report of the number of liens recorded last year. In Bamberg gpp6o?nty the number was 2,2bt>. wno would have, thought there were that j^p many liens given in this small counSchool Mass Meeting. ??*." Notwithstanding the very disagreeSg/#fcfe weather Monday afternoon, a good crowd of citizens of the town assembled in the town hall at four o'clock to attend the school mass pw meeting as previously advertised. C. R. Brabham was elected chairman ahd A. W. Knight secretary. |g?,> v The object of the meeting was IP- stated by County Superintendent of V,, 1" - TXT T\ T> ^11 & ' Ktll]CSUOH iV. VV. u. ivuwcu, uiiuci the law he calling the meeting. The dbject of the meeting was to elect ? two trustees for the Bamberg graded &T school and to fix the levy for school v : purposes for the ensuing year. D. F. Hooton was re-elected to succeed ?|;; himself, and F. M. Simmons was s? Elected to fill out the unexpired term V of J. H. Armstrong, deceased. W > On motion of C.B. Free the levy for school purposes was fixed at four ihills for this year, instead of two as formerly ,this increase being made liecessary because the insurance 'money is not sufficient to replace the building. The money received from insurance amounted to $8,250, and the contract price of the new buildnig without heating or new furniture is $8,295. Add to this nearly $1,400 for heating, $500 for furniture, and the architect's fee of 5 per cent would leave a deficit of about $2,300. There was no way to get mis muney Williout increasing the levy, and we are glad to say thehe was not a dissenting vote. Our people are willing to give the trustees all the money needed for school purposes. D. F. Hooton, secretary of the board of trustees, gave an interesting financial statement of the school, showing the necessity for the increase iiilevy. The trustees have decided to have the new building heated by steam. V- V" ' * ^ - Appropriations for Bamberg. In the supply bill introduced in the legislature, we find the following as the appropriations for salaries in Bamberg county this year: "Sheriff $800; for keeping the jail and dieting prisoners, $150; that the sheriff shall have the right to make requisition upon the supervisor for the maintenance of said prisoners confined in the county jail, as provided in an act entitled 'An act to establish Bamberg county;' clerk of the court, $250; county commissioners, $105 each; clerk of the county board of commissioners, $250; county superintendent of education, $5; county supervisor, $800; coroner, $100."

His death i was caused by a severe case of grippe. The burial took place at Hunter's i Chapel Baptist church Wednesday afternoon, of which he had been a member for a number of years, the services being conducted by Rev. W. R. Smith, of Branchville. r Mr. Garrett was sixty-seven years * i 1 _ ? -i I oia, ana ana leaves a. wue aim uuc son. He was a Confederate veteran, having served through the war, and leaves a good recofd. He was a good citizen and a hard working man who attehded to his own business, and he will be missed in his community. . ~ F. E. S. Dispensary Sales. The total sales of the four dispensaries in Bamberg county for the month of January were $7,441.78. The sales at the dispensary in Bamberg amounted to $3,173.78. From theses figures it would seem that the people of Bamberg county spend about $100,000 a year for liquor. Suppose thisxmoney were spent for shoes, clothing, groceries, or was invested in land, horses and mules, buggies, wagons, etc., will any one argue for a moment that the county and its people would not be better off financially, morally, and in every other way? It is little wonder that money is scarce and some people are xnot a bio nnv their debts when this amount spent for whiskey is such a great drain on our county. Mind you, we are not arguing against the dispensary just now. We are only bringing out the fact of the waste of money in this county * for whiskey. The dispensary is not to blame for the amount of whiskey drank. It is the people themselves. Wesley Banks Recovering. Wesley Banks, who was shot some time ago by Preston Brown, is recovering from his wounds and will soon be* out. At one time he was not ! doing so well and a fatal termination was feared, and it is good news to i his many white friends that he will recover.- He has suffered a long time, but had the best of medical attention and nursing. Brown is still in jail ! and will be tried at the March term , of court for stealing from the depot i and shooting Banks. The bullet is still in Banks's body. Home Mission fleeting. The monthly meeting of the Wof man's Home Mission Society will be held next "Tuesday afternoon at 4 > o'clock, in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist church, It is earnestly desired that there be a large attendance i it being the close of the year, and the time for election of officers. A re, port of the year's work will be given, also a brief summary of the entire work of this society since its organii zation, by one of the charter members. - - *: ' K '4,S% . , v - . . . - 4 BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. Miss Sadie Brabham Becomes the Bride of Mr. Claude Gilchrist. At noon to-day (Wednesday) in the Methodist church of this city, Miss Sadie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Brabham, was united in marriage with Mr. Claude Gilchrist, of Mullins, Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of Trinity, officiating. The church had been transformed into a scene of beauty, by a tasty arrangement of palms, ferns and white lillies, there being an arch of white and green over the center of the chancel. At the first notes of Lohengrin, played by Mrs. A. W. Knight, the ushers, Messrs. A. M. Brabham, J. C. Guilds,"P. S. Connor, and Mr. A. L. Sessoms, of Florence, led the way to the chancel, followed by the attendants, Miss Lucile Folk with Mr. m 1? a fWintc r iiUip JJJ. ui , luoa jaiuuum with Mr. Chas. Felder, and Miss Susie Hodges, of Greenwood, with Mr. Frank Moye, who proceeded separately up either aisle crossing and taking their places within the altar rail. Then came the bride upon the arm of her maid of honor, Miss GeDelle Brabham, meeting the groom, attended by Mr. W. W. Owen, of Mullins, these appearing from the rear of the rostrum, and there, under the beautiful arch of smilax and violets, these two were made one. The bride wore a handsome travelling costume of navy blue cloth, the maid of honor, a dainty costume of blue, the other maids, suits of white cloth, all carrying boquets of white carnations, tied with tulle. To the joyous strains of Mendellsohn, the bridal party retired from the church to the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M? Brabham where, with a few friends they were served a most delightful two course luncheon, being received by Mrs. H. pp. Bamberg and Mrs. Jacob Felder. After luncneon, tne nappy pair orovc lu Denmark, to catch an afternoon train for their future home, Mullins. A large number of presents in cut glass and silver proved the popularity of this young couple. \ The young bride is one of Bamberg's fairest, sweetest daughters, loved and respected by all who know her, and it is with sorrow that we see her leave her home-town. Mr. Gilchrist is a prosperous young business man of Mullins, and in winning lovely Sadie, he has won the greatest of Heaven's rich blessings. We wish for them all the happiness life can give. r? 1 j?

J Cooper, a well-to-do farmer who lives | seven miles from Conway, met a very < tragic death on Saturday night. ? Near midnight his lifeless form, torn < and bleeding with shoulders dislocated and ribs broken, was found entangled under and in the wheels of his wagon which he had been driving and which had stopped on the road about five miles from here. It is not ! known what caused his death, though 1 it is generally believed that he fell ( from the wagon and was ground to 1 death under the wheels. He was < d-riirinar o anirifiad nnir nf mnlps and left Conway late in the afternoon un- 1 der the influence of liquor. An inquest was held over the body yesterday, but the jury was not fully satisfied with all the evidence before them and adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow, when other witnesses will be examined. At the inquest it was learned that Mr. Cooper had come to Conway on Saturday with two bales of cotton. These he sold for over $90 and it was known that he had the money. He, however, gave $86 of the money to one of his neighbors and told him to take it home with him and to keep it until he or his son called for it. After doing this he loaded his wagon with six bags of fertilizer and left about dark for his home. The rest of the sad occurrence remains a mys tery. \ . Near midnight when his father did not reach home and hearing that a wagon had been seen on the road, Mr. Cooper's oldest son started out in search of his father. He found him as above stated, but with only four sacks of guano on the wagon. More than a mile beyond where the wagon had stopped traces were seen in the road where the lifeless form had been'dragged the entire distance, about a half mile, from where Mr. P./wraferaQ fnrnid. Guano was found scattered on the ground and the Erint of a sack was seen in the mud, ut the guano was gone. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of this guano put the coroner's jury to thinlang and around this they hope to find more evidence leading to the mystery. Since the adjournment of the inquest, the two sacks of guano and Mr. Cooper's overcoat have been found at the home of a negro man who lives near where the body was found. This has been reported to the coroner and the sheriff has gone for the negro. Just what the negro has ,to say about his find has not been learned, although it is not thought that, he is in any way implicated. Mr. Cooper had amassed considerable real estate and stood well in his community. He leaves a wife^nd 12 children, one of T*rVirttr? is or? infont. rvne week old. BOYLES CASE AFFIRMED. i . _ . ? - * Supreme Court Passes on Important Bamberg Trial. 1 " V' '; J * The supreme court has affirmed the.decision of the lower court in the case of Herbert Boyles of . Bamberg county, who was sentenced to fiye years for housebreaking and larceny. Boyles was tried with A. W. Nelson on the charge of entering a drug store at Denmark and it was claimed in the appeal that he did not get a fair trial and that the solicitor con- i . ... i j.J. ;_.L stantiy oroQ^ot mtu uic uuc uic fact that the defendant had been implicated in a case involving the theft of a wagon. The court holds that it is often the case that the counsel on one side or the other is led away into errors in eagerness to convict or acquit and this might have been so in this case, but there was ample remedy at'hand for objection and therefore the exception is overruled.-Co!umbia State.
