Thursday, July 2, 1908 The nation lost a great man when Groyer Cleveland died. We did not jjpr always agree with his policies, but he will go down in history as one of the great statesmen of the United p* i States. It may be a hard saying but we believe it to be true that the judges are largely responsible for the cheap*}'. ness of human life in South Carolina. If they would be slow in granting bail and, would impose heavier sen!>v , tences in cases where the juries convict of manslaughter, there would v no doubt be fewer murders. Wesug!> ; * gest that they try the experiment. $ Governor Ansel has been attend ing a few campaign meetings during v the past week, and. he paid Barnwell |p ,., and Bamberg the compliment of appearing at the meetings in these towns. Some men have been en deavoring to make it appear that he was losing votes by his absence, but ho is exactly right to stay away when ; the duties of his office demand his C; attention. The people elected him governor and they expect him to at./tend to the duties of the office. If ^ something important was to happen and his presence was needed in Co?y lumbia while he was out seeking re? . - election, there would be a great howl !p|- < raised by these same people. It is ||?v all political buncombe, and does not ^ y- come from the friends of the gover' nor. i-;, - hCmCK-AICK. ' Kt v; Popular Young Couple Married MonSpv_i. v day Evening.?Quiet Home . : Wedding. Monday evening at 8:45 o'clock, Miss Ellen Felder and Mr. M. E. Ayer, two " popular young people of Bamberg, were ' married at the home of the bride's par||t; ents, apt. and Mrs. J. D. Felder, Rev. T. G. Herbert, ofv the Methodist church, pr officiating.. Assembled in the tastily ^ ' decorated parlor were the immediate relatives of the contracting parties, and there N. in the quiet of the evening hour the words of the Methodist ritual were repeated, and |y y the happy couple plighted their troth. It iV * was here illustrated that there is nothing m more beautiful than a simple" homelike wedding, which without ostentation and parade is performed. The brilliant effect gsg;' was not striven for, neither was it desired, but the sense of the beautiful was preeminent and supreme. Mr. and Mrs. Ayer received many exgLV,-.v' pressions of regard and esteem in the >? form of gifts. They were the recipients > .< * - of congratulations on every side and they have the best wishes of the entire com? munity in which they are held with high r esteem. They will make their home for the present at Mrs. J. I. Kinards on New \ Bridge Street. Mr. Ayer is a genial salesman in the employ of the Planters' Mercantile Comx . pany, and is regarded as a young man of good business qualifications. The bride is a very popular young lady, and has always been so. with the social set of the town. White Boy Killed By Negro. ? Charleston, S. C., June 29.?Eeroy Sell CIS, a Willie uvy x / j*c<us wx a^c, woo struck by a colored boy, Willie Johnson, in front of his place of employment on King street this morning and died almost immediately afterwards. An autopsy was held this afternoon to establish whether the boy died from natural causes or from the blow and the , examinations of the surgeons showed that the boy's heart and lungs were all right and that death resulted from concussion of the brain, following the blow which the negro gave the boy on the back of the head and the fall to the flagstone pavement. The negro boy is under arrest, awaiting formal commitment by the coroner's jury. Unusual Hold-up in Aiken. Aiken, June 26.?T.wo nights ago on the streets of Aiken an unknown white woman approached a colored man and domflnrlpd J2 of him or she would scream, and when help arrived, as she knew it would, she would declare that he had grabbed her and attempted an assault. The negro ran and called for a policeman to whom he explained his experience. The woman was closely watched and the next morning the authorities communicated with Augusta from whence she said she had come and learned that she was wanted there. She was arrested and turned over to the sheriff of Richmond county, Ga. -i . J m THE "SOUTH CAROLINA." THK NEW BATTLESHIP TO B*K LAUNCHED AT PHILADELPHIA. Governor Ansel and Staff to Attend. Ship to be Christened by Miss Ansel. When the next battleship of Uncle Sam's navy is launched it will be christened "South Carolina" by Miss Frederica Ansel, daughter of the erovernor of this State. The launch ing of the ship will take place on the 11th of July at the Cramps' ship yard, Philadelphia. Governor Ansel has sent out letters to his staff asking them to accompany him to the launching, and he stated to-night that his daughter would christen the ship. The ceremonies are in charge of the builders of the ship, who have requested Governor Ansel to bring his party and participate in the launching, the ceremonies of which are simple. After the launching the party will be entertained at luncheon by the contractors, when two or three short speeches are to be made. The United States battleship South Carolina is one of the battleships au-l thorized by congress in the naval appropriation act of March 31,1905,her sister ship being the Michigan, which was launched a few weeks ago at the New York Ship Building company's JPnrAlinn ia hpi n fr UCJUK. *1 lie ouuiu vjoi uiiuu in bw.^q built by the Cramp Steamship Company, of Philadelphia. The contract for her construction was signed on July 21, 1906. Her keel was laid December 18, and she will be finally completed and turned over to the United States government on December 21,. 1909. The contract price, ex-i elusive of armor and armament, was $3,540,000. She will have cost the government when completed about $7,000,000. The South Carolina will have a displacement of 16,000 tons; a speed of 18.5 knots; coal" supply, 2,200 tons; armor belt, 12 inches; casement side armor, 10 to 8 inches; barbettes and turrets, 10 to 12 inches. Armament, eight 45-calibre 12-inch guns, twenty-two 3-inch guns. Torpedo tubes, tw6 submerged 21-inch. Her length between perpendiculars, 450 feet; breadth on load water line, 80 feet; mean draft, 24 feet 6 inches; full load displacement, 17,600 tons; horse power, 17,000. Her total complement, including officers and crew, will be about 900 men. The battleship South Carolina is of particular interest, because she is one of the first of our battleships'designed after the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war, and her designers have embodied in her construction the experience gathered during the naval operations of that conflict. The South Carolina and her sister ship, the Michigan, will be the two finest ships in the United States navy, until the Delaware, now in course of construction, is launched and put into tjommission. kick rrom cournipmcui. The Bamberg Guards returned Saturday night from a ten days stay on Sullivans Island, where the Second and Third regiments were encamped. The company for the most, part seems to have enjoyed the outing, and excepting some hot daysj and the continual stream of sand which was pouring and blowing over everything, the stay was pleasant.. But even with these exceptions tlfe encampment was doubtless very beneficial in many respects. The Guards went down in charge of Captain J. F. Folk, and First Lieutenant W. R. Wright* Improvements Killed Her. An old German woman became ill and was taken by her husband to a hospital for treatment. The first day she was there, when her husband called to inquire about her, the doctor said she was improving. On the second day he was again told she, was improving, and on the third and fourth days the assurance was the same. This was very encouraging to the old German; but when he called on the fifth day, he was told that his wife was dead. In his grief he sought his favorite saloon to drown his sorrow. "Vat's de matter?" asked the sympathetic bartender, noticing his customer's despondent condition. "Ach! My vife iss dead," replied the German. "So? Vat did she die of?" asked the bartender. "Improvements," replied the bereaved husband, callingfor another orlocc r\f Kwir ?Tollman Fish Fry. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Price entertained at a fish fry on Monday at New Bridge tin honor of their guesfc Miss Annie Halford, of Blackville. Quite a merry crowd enjoyed the pleasures of the day and alMeft the grounds giving three cheers for their hospitable host and hostess. . ONE PRESENT. Opening Bids.
