ji> ? vOne would not think it hard to
raise mqpey for business enterprises- <
- -in Bamberg, judging from the num- i
^ ber of automobiles in town, but you
just try it and see.
^ j
*1 Bamberg will have a fine building ]
> in which to open her graded school 1
> this fall. 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.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Con*
tain Mercury,
as mercury wUl surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be useed
except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possiDiy derive ironi
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is taken Internally
and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J.
Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.
