Bamberg will need no summer
term of court. A good daughter
county she is.?Barnwell People.
No, it's a boy, and you've heard
of that old saying of a boy beating
his daddy.
When "xinmxpppqzzxyhf" appears
.in the Bamberg Herald, it does not
-mean that Editor Wilkes Knight has
lost his temper and is indulging in
expletives, but it is merely a cute
way which his new linotype hafs of
making its presence known.?News
and Courier.
It is- not cutting any such capers
ss that yet, but we don't know howsoon
it will begin.
' '
The trial of Sellers, the blind tigei
keeper, for murder, in Columbia,
f; . - was pretty much of a farce. It was
clearly proven that the constable had
a right to search the premises, and

room. Is it any wonder that manj
officers are lax in their enforcement
of law,when they are given absolutely
ly no. protection by the Courts?
When has a man been hung in thif
v State for killing an officer of the law?
We don't know, but we would like
for some one who knows to tell, us.
.
The expected has happened, and
Taft has been nominated by the Republicans
for president. Now if the
Democrats will nominate some othei
candidate than Mr. Bryan, we beh
\ 1 lieve they have a good chance ol
|-v' winning. But what is termed the
safe and sane business men of the
country hafve no more confidence ir
Hr. Bryan than they have in Mr,
Roosevelt and his candidate, so we
see no hope of Democratic success ii
Mr. Bryan is to head the ticket. Bui
with any safe and sound candidate
the Democrats ought to beat Taft.
Some circuit judges have a great
>
deal to say from the bench about
lawlessness and crime and the juries
/not doing their duty, but we notice
f-> \ they keep on granting bail to those
? charged with murder. How in the
name of common sense do they expect
conditions to get better as long
as they grant bail indiscriminately?
^ They should be consistent. Their
) J actions do not square with their expressions.
A white man murdered
? noo-rrt in r?nM hlnod in Anderson re
a.
1 s cently, yet he has been granted bail
in the sum of $10,000 by Judge
* Gary, and in other cases just as bad
bail has heretofore been granted.
WOMAN SENT TO THE CHAIR.
i_
Feminine Slayer of Another Woman
to be Electrocuted.
Watertown, N. Y., June 19.?
Guilty.of murder in the first degree
was the verdict of the jury in the
/ case of Mrs. Mary Farmer charged
with the killing of Mrs. Sarah Brennan.
The jury was out three hours.
Justice Rogers sentenced Mrs. Farmer
to be electrocuted at Auburn
prison during the week beginning
August 25.
The crime for which Mrs. Farmer,
who is 29 years old, was convicted,
was most fiendish. Her victim, Mrs.
Brennan, who was 55 years old, was
her neighbor and intimate friend, and
the motive was to gain possession
of the Brennan deeds, which Mrs
Farmer had forged in October. Th?
crime was committed April 23
Mrs. Brennan was hacked to piece*
uri+h Q hQtr>hpt and hftr hodv Stuffec
in a trunk.
Mrs. Farmer's husband is also un
de indictment on a charge of murdei
in the first degree as accessory tc
the crime.
Prohibition Meeting.
A prohibition meeting was helc
in the town hall here last Wednes
day and organized by the election o:
the following officers: Chairman,
W. G. Folk; Secretary, P. Kistle:
Rhoad. The following gentlemei
were suggested and requested t<
make the race for the legislature ii
the coming primary election: W. L
Riley, of Denmark, and J. Wms. Car
ter, of Ehrhardt. A meeting or pro
hibition rally will be held at th<
* court house on Wednesday, July 1
Every one interested in the cause o

BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Two Convicts Escape from the State
Farm.
Hagood, June 22.?Last week
Boisy James and Albert Miller, convicts
on the State Farm, made their
escape. The detail was being marched
to the stockade after the day's
work had been done when these two
men made a desperate leap for liberty.
The guards fired at them several
times but they were soon safe in
the swamps. Every effort was made
to recapture them but without success.
It was thought that both had made
good their escape but to-day the dead
body of Albert Miller was found in
the Wateree river. It is supposed
v,o+ wnc ^rnwnerl while attempt-1
niav iiv v*? v .. ?--v.
ing to swim the river.
Nothing has been heard of Boisv
James. * >.
Miller was from Lancaster county
and was serving a sentence of 15
years.
A $650 Merry Widow Hat.
A $650 hat was shown at the
spring opening of a millinery establishment
at Lexington, N. C. It was
a Merry Widow shape, made of white
silk lace and bordered with straw.
The crown was high and the brim, of
course, very wide. Around the
crown were ten $50 gold certificates,
so arranged as to make an effective
trimming. Other decorations were
a paradise aigrette and twenty-seven
$5 gold pieces arranged , in a band,
around the crown. The hat is kept
in the Bank of Lexington at night,
as it is considered too valuable to
risk leaving in the store.
Editor Shoots Burglar.
Frank Smith, a negro ex-convict,
was shot and mortally wounded by
W. H. Steward, a newspaper man of
Salisbury, N. C., when surprisea at
an attempt at burglary in the edi1
tor's home. The negro escaped but
; was found later at his home with a
1 bullet in his stomach.
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
1 Juror Got Drunk and Talked About
Sellers Case.
Columbia, June 16.?R. C. Ashford
was yesterday found guilty of
contempt of court and sentenced to
three months imprisonment or a fine
of $50, before the circuit court,
Judge Ernest Gary presiding. He
paid the fine. ,
On Saturday, June 6, Ashford was
I sitting as juryman on the Sellers
I case, and that night left the court
. house fully realizing the gravity and
p responsibility of the position he held.
However, he met some of his friends
? who insisted that he take a drink
with them. At first Ashford refused,
> but finally yielded to the repeated entreaties
of hjs friends. By midnight
' Ashford had taken several more
drinks, and in some mysterious way
> the liquor had the affect upon Ashford
of making him want to talk, and
in v spite of the responsibility and
[ gravity of the position as realized by
the juror, he discussed the case with
several people.
5 In an affidavit Policeman Hough,
of the Columbia police force, stated
. that he found Ashford about mid,
night in a restaurant apparently under
the influence of liquor, and that
- he advised him to go home. Ashford
i refused and went up the street to
L another restaurant, where Policeman
Hough again ran across him later,
' .at which time he seemed more than
J ever under the influence of liquor.
' Policeman Hough again tried to per.
suade Ashford to go home and go to
bed, but the latter refused and start!
ed to tell Hough about trying to talk
some sense into that fellow's head,
pointing to an unknown in the corner,
Ashford further stated to Policeman
Hou^h that he wished to discuss the
Sellers case with him, that there
were some features about it that lie
did not like. Policeman Hough reminded
Ashford that he was pledged
not to discuss the case on which he
was sitting as a juror, but to no
avail. Ashford did not return home
until late Sunday morning.

The Bank Cashier?You see, Mr.
Schmidt, it's this way. There is
plenty of money in the bank, but we, ,
and the other city banks, have agreed,
in order to prevent a panic, that we
will pay out only a part of the actual
l currency demanded by our deposi tors.
Your money is here all right and you
can have it just as soon as it is safe
; to let you have it. In the meantime
; we will give you, instead of actual
i cash, clearing house certificates,
. which will serve the same purpose.
This is the third time I have explain
ed this matter to you. I have gone '
i into it thoroughly, because I want
you to explain the conditions to the
rest of your fellow-country-men who
are depositors here. Do you think you
' understand it now?
j Mr. Schmidt?Yees.
l The Cashier?Well, then, how are
i you going to explain it to your

[ Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain
Mercury,
r as mercury will surely destroy the sense of

surfaces. Such articles should never be use1
ed except on prescriptions from reputable
i. physicians, as the damage they will do is ten
_ Fold to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
" by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no

directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces

am recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills in the hope that others may use
them and be benefited thereby. I
was bothered by attacks of backache ;
for more than a year. The kidneys
were also badly disordered and at
times I had considerable difficulty in .
passing the kidney secretions. Upon
learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, t ^
went to the People's Drug Store and
