A strong teaching force will be in charge, and those seeking ] | to locate in a town with fine school advantages can find no better place : V than Bamberg. 1 ?/ J The Newberry Observer says no < town in South Carolina is nearer free from blind tigers than is Newberry, f-'i Bamberg has none at all, and New(^ berry will have to be pretty dry to i ;< ' make a showing similar .to Bamberg in this respect. * |v ' Hon. R. Goodwyn Rhett, of Charleston, announces his candidacy for '?: the United States. Senate in this >/ issue. Mr. Rhett would fill the posi tioii vjith credit to the State, and no. doubt he will make a fine showing fi&v in the race. He may be the next j'Senator. The people of Bamberg are anxions for the merger suit against the ^' . Southern Railway to be settled one way or the other, as they want the * road from Branchville to Augusta improved. It is understood that the ^ -railroad will make no improvement? + nnui cms case it. scuiw. Judge Robert Aldrich is continuing bis policy of sending violators of the " ^ /dispensary law to the chain gang in lieu of paying a fine. If all judges !? would deal thus with illicit whiskey r' c. sellers, the practice could be broken ^ up. The example of Judge Aldrich , should be followed by others. Wm^ :???-? Possibly it is well that circumJ stances forced D. C. Heyward out of Ip-v the race for the United States Senate. :V ; We candidly believe that he would ^0- have been defeated badly, and his V political record mjght have been dis? cussed by his opponents in a way not to his liking. Frankly, we conffc sider Mr. Heyward's political career gjj ended, and not because of the con;f " dition of his health either. He is a most delightful gentleman, and we {1 g|s|? trust he will soon recover. V The statement of Dispensary Audi- i - tor West that prohibition sentiment ' in this State is waning may be denied . U by some, but hone can doubt the sin- ] jfe cerity of his views. Mr. West is a 3 prohibitionist himself, and is not an j ; ' advocate of the dispensary or any 1 other plan of selling liquor. He i travels all over the State and comes J < in contact with the people who talk, 4 J' and it seems that he certainly ought to know what he is talking about. However, his statement is interesting, coming as it does on the eve of the < campaign, and we shall expect a i change of front on the part of some candidates. The Bamberg Herald is delighted . to know that Comptroller Jones will i be a candidate for re-election. He ^ has a great task ahead of him in j the work of changing the methods ; of taxation in this State, but he has 1 energy and ability, and, above all, a < good store of qommon sense, and j while it will take time, he will sue ceed after a while. In the meantime he will have the cordial co-operation of this newspaper in his efforts to place the affairs of the State on a ( common sense or business basis. Our present system of managing tax affairs is entirely out of date, and i needs a thorough overhauling. The Taws may be all right, but the manner of their enforcement is abominable. The State campaign party will be in Bamberg on Saturday, June 27th, but the candidates for the United States Senate will not get here until the first of August. LINEMAN MET HORRIBLE DEATH Charles Lundy Electrocuted While at Work in Columbia. Columbia, June 11.?Chas. Lundy, a lineman employed by the city, was electrocuted to-day while at work on Main street near Elmwood avenue, j Mr. Lundy was engaged in stringing wires for the police alarm system made necessary by the extension of the city limits. In the course of his work, Lundy went up one of the Southern Bell telephone poles, one block north of Main street and soon after he climbed the pole he came in contact with a live wire. It is thought he stepped on the telephone cable and received a shock ' fo nf t OOVOfQ 1 oy reason oi iuc iatt umt T v? hundred yards North of this point the telephone wire into a residence had fallen across the power wire of the street railway company and the insulation having worn off the full voltage of the power wire was communi- : cated to the telephone wire. Lundy fell across the telephone wires and his body lodged there. It was fifteen or twenty minutes before his body could be taken down and it was necessary for the whole street car and power system to shut down in order to cut off the current. HAD RIGHT TO WHIP, in Mr Derides That Young Lady Teacher Was Not Guilty. At the recent term of the court of general sessions in Pickens, a young lady teacher in the Pickens graded school, who was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, was acquitted by a jury. The alleged assault was committed upon one of the pupils and consisted, it was alleged by the defense, of a switching. The young lady was represented by Mr. James P. Carey, of the Pickens bar, while* Solicitor Boggs appeared for the State. The jury was out only a short while before bringing in the verdict. The case created a great deal of feeling in Pickens and the town was pretty badly stirred up over it at one time. The friOnds of the young lady were confident that she would be exonerated by a jury and she was warmly Congratulated on the result. She told the jury that she whipped the boy because he deserved a whipping for violating the school rules; that she did not w&ip him unjustly but enough to make him obedidnt. The whole town of Pickens is glad that the matter is endea. Judge Aldrich Enforcing Law. Aiken, June 12.?J. C. Richardson and M. C. Todd, respectable looking, well dressed- white men in the prime of life, were sentenced to serve six months each on the Aiken county ' chaingang to-day without the alternative of paying fines for having violated the dispensary law. Both men had entered pleas of guilty but, notwithstanding the fact, Judge Robert Aldrich gave them the limit, and,, in pronouncing sentence, expressed regret that the law does not permit him to give heavier sentences to men of their stripe. He said that until the lawmakers increase the penalty for violation of this law it will* not be possible to secure its proper enforcement. These men formerly operated in the blind tiger business in Augusta dui the heavy sentences recently imposed for violations of the prohibition : law by Judge Hammond caused these men to "cross the Savannah river and ply their nefarious illicit trade in South Carolina. They stood up in the court of general sessions and entered pleas of guilty, doubtless feeling that they would get off with mild fines which either of them, it would appear, could easily pay. But they reckoned without their host and it is doubtful if , they will have any desire to face Judge Aldrich again. PREDICTED HER OWN DEATH. But New Jersey Woman's Prophecy Didn't Come True. Passaic, N. J., June 14.?Mrs. Anne Keilsia, who predicted that she would die at 6 o'clock this morning^ still lives to-night. With the passing of the hour she had declared would be her last on earth, the woman, : who has been under guard of physicians at the General Hospital, became sullen, defiant and absolutely refused to take food, which had to be forced down her throat. When Mrs. Keilsia woke at 4:30 o'clock she appeared bright and happy, and then bade the physicians and nurses goodbve. At the approach of 6 o'clock the woman began to show signs of nervousness, which disappeared with i sedative. She then became silent, and efforts to make her talk were futile. Young White Man Killed. Dillon, June 13.?Pate Walker, a foung white man, was shot and in- : jtantly killed last night by Daniel Hamer. The shooting occurred about 11 o'clock at the home of Jim Creech, a tenant on the land of Marion Wiggins, just across the little Pee Dee and two miles East of Dillon. It seems that the two men were spending the evening at Creech's house and that hot words passed, followed by blows. Then Walker was shot. He fell in the yard near the piazza. The body was left where it fell until 4 o'clock this evening when the coroner summoned a jury- and held the inquest. The verdict of the jury is cot yet known. The ball struck Walker in the breast near the heart and passed entirely through the body.
