Governor Ansel has acted favorably
on the report of the board of
pardons as to a pardon for Jeff. J.
Hughes. He has issued a pardon,
effective the 17 th of September next.
Clerk of Court C. B. Free received
notice to this effect yesterday morning.
This will be good news to his
wife and family.
Monday afternoon Mr. W. C. Kirkland
took us out to see the fine field
of corn of G. Frank Bamberg, just
outside of town. He has twenty-five
acres which will no doubt make one
hundred bushels per acre. It is
planted in five foot rows and six
inches apart on the bed. It is well
worth going to see. Jones Bros, have
some mighty fine cotton just beyond
Mr. Bamberg's corn. This cotton
will make more than a bale per acre.
Prof. O. J. Bond, who has been a
member of the faculty of the South
Carolina Military Academy at Charleston
for a number of years, has
been elected Superintendent to succeed
Col. Asbury Coward, who resigned.
Mr. Bond is well-known and
has many friends in Bamberg, he
having married here, and we are all
delighted at his promotion. All whc
know him are assured that he will
fill the position with credit to himself
and honor to the institution
He is a scholar and a gentleman.

Mr. M. W. Brabham has been appointed
superintendent of the Methodist
Sunday-school, to till the vacancy
caused by the resignation of
Mr. H. G. Sheridan. Mr. Brabham
is an earnest worker and a consistent
Christian gentleman. No better
selection could have been made.
We must beg all of those who owe
jus money, to come in and settle. We
have out a number of small amounts
i which in the aggregate foot up a
good sum. If we could collect what
I is due us, we could pay some very
1 pressing-obligations, but we cannot
pay our debts unless other folks pay
up.
j City council and the board of public
works held a joint meeting Tuesday
night, at which the matter of
installing water works on Main
street and other matters were discussed.
Both bodies are very anxious
to see fire protection of some
sort, and as soon as the issue of $7,,000
water works bonds can be floated
some positive action will be taken.
Nothing can be done until the bonds
are sold.

Scholarship Examinations.
Last Friday* /the county board of
education held the examinations for
Winthrop College, the College of
Charleston and Clemson. There were
eleven young ladies who stood the
ovomlnoHnn ten trvinfiT for
VV ilUUAVp ? w
the scholarships and one for entrance.
For the College of Charleston scholarship
there were three contestants.
| For Clemson there were thirteen applicants,
ten for the scholarships and
two for entrance. We are glad to see
that the number of young men and
| women trying for scholarships this
year was so much larger than usual,
which shows that our boys and girls
are endeavoring to get an education.
The papers have been seift off, and it
is not known yet who are the winners.
Watch Your Date.
Last week our mailing list was reset
on our linotype, and while we
have been very careful in the work,
it may be that some dates are wrong.
So please look at the date on the
label of your paper, and if there is
any error let us know at once. Don't
wait for many months to tell us about
it. We do not mean to boast, but mistakes
in our subscription list are
very rare, and we do not believe any
subscriber iwill find his date wrong
even in setting up the new list.

Mrs. Leila Black Wiggins, wife of
? t -n TTT* ?-J?" ? + Vio nmD
KCV. Li. Hi. Wlggiua, U1CU ov tifV/ uvmv
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos
Black, in this city last Thursday
morning, at three o'clock, after an
illness of about' four weeks. The
burial took place Thursday afternoon
at five o'clock at Restland cemetery
in this city, the services being conducted
by Rev. T. G. Herbert. A large
number of friends and relatives of
the family were present to pay their
last tribute of love and respect. The
pall bearers were:
Honorary: F. Marion Green, G.
Marion Barton, C. W. Rentz, V. J.
Hartzog, N. P. Smoak, Jno. H. Cope.
Active: W. D. Rhoad, J. Stokes

Dr. V. W. Brabham, H. J. Brabham,
Jr.
Mrs. Wiggins was one of the most
loved young women ever reared in
Bamberg. Her gracious manners and
lovely disposition made her a favorite
with old and young. Only a few
years ago she was married to Rev.
L. E. Wiggins, a rising young minister
of the South Carolina Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. At first his work was in the
up-country, but to the delight of
their many friends here, ror tne
past two years he has been in charge
of the Edisto circuit and liyed at
Cope, only a few miles from Bamberg.
She leaves two children, one
an infant only a few weeks old, as
well as a large number of relatives
and friends, whose hearts are sad
because of her untimely death. To
the bereaved husband and family
The Herald extends sympathy.
Death of Miss Mamie Connor.
Miss Mamie Connor died at the
home of her parents near Branchville
Wednesday morning of last
week, after an illness of several
. weeks. She had typhoid fever, and
. at one time she was improving, but
heart failure set in and she only
? lived a few days after this complica
tion. ,
Miss Connor had many friends in
1 Bamberg. She had taught in the
> graded school here for several years,
[ and last year her brother, Capt. P.
> Stokes Connor, was a teacher in the
1 Carlisle Fitting School and comman
dant of cadets. The sympathy of the
. whole community goes out to the bereaved
family.

J. J. Hughes Pardoned.
Columbia, S. C., July 3.?The
State board of pardons to-day acted
upon a number of petitions and re- ]
ported their recommendations to' '
Governor Ansel.
Vincent Cook, a white man con- '
victed in Hampton county along <
with Bose and Daisy Cook, of killing ]
the town marshal. The sentence of
the former was seven years and the I
petition comes with the recommen- ]
dation of the judge and solicitor. It ?
is claimed that Vincent was acting I
as peacemaker and therefore a par- i
don is recommended.
J. J. Hughes, of Bamberg, re- <
ceived a sentence of six years for as- '
sault and battery with intent to kill, i
it being charged that in a drunken :
fit he beat his wife. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced according- 1
ly. The petition is presented by the
man's wife who, together with two
children, are dependent upon him
for support and it also states that .
the charge should have been assault ,
and battery. The petition being J
signed by the entire community and
the solicitor, the pardon is granted ,
after September next, when two (
years will have been served, with the .
condition that he be again put in the ,
penitentiary if he commits the same ,
offense in four years.
County Board Meeting.
1 The county board of commission- j
ers held a regular quarterly meeting j
at the court house last Monday, Supervisor
Kearse and Commissioners f
Bellinger and Folk being present. i
Cotton weighers were elected as ,
follows, these being the same as last ,
year: ,

Olar?J. J. Brabham. ,
Denmark?F. B. Gibson.
Ehrhardt?J. D. Carter. j
Abbie Hightower and Peggy Brab- ,
ham were placed on the pauper list,
but the application of R. B. Eaves
was left over for investigation. Commissioner
Folk was instructed to investigate
the case.
The claim of Dr. W. N. H. Folk
for medical services rendered Mrs. 1
Adeline Chassereau was not paid.
A number of claims were approved \
and the board adjourned. 1
? " i
I City Council Meeting. \
City council held a regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon, with
Mayor Hair and Aldermen Copeland,
Brabham, Free, Cooner, and Wyman
present.
The report 01 Uie treasurer buuwed
expenditures of $964.37 during
the month, and *a balance on hand 1
of $530.70.
The time for paying street faxes
was extended until August 1st. After
that date a penalty of 25 cents
will be added. i
Chief of Police Hand was granted
a vacation of two weeks with pay.
He will visit relatives in North Caro- <
lina during his rest.
A resolution Was passed that an
ordinance be prepared limiting the
speed of automobiles to ten miles
an hour within the city limits. This
ordinance will be presented at the
next meeting. Council has put off
action on this matter, hoping that
the speeding indulged in by. some
would be discontinued.
Pardon Kecommenaea.
In recommending to Governor Ansel
that he pardon J. J. Hughes, the
State board of pardons says:
"This defendant was tried at the
Bamberg court, September, 1906, for
assault and battery with intent to
kill; found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment in the penitentiary at
hard labor for a term of six years.
The crime with which this defendant
was convicted was an assault upon
his wife in a drunken fit. He pleaded
guilty of the charge and was sentenced
as stated. The petition for
pardon is signed by the solicitor and
citizens of Bamberg county. Judge
Gage, however, who heard the case
and imposed the sentence, declines
to' recommend executive clemency.
From the evidence before the board
it is clear that the prisoner did not
intend to plead guilty of "intent to
kill," but simply of the "assault and
battery." This was bad enough, for
the board is impressed with the
thnncht. that of the many crimes
against the person an assault upon
the wife by the husband is one of
the most heinous. If the case of the
defendant alone were under consideration
the board would be loath to
consider with favor the prayer of the
petition. The application, however,
is made by the wife, who together
with two infant children are largely
dependent upon the personal efforts
of the defendant for their daily
bread. This, together with the almost
unanimous approval of the
community and the approval of the
solicitor, has induced the board to
recommend this application with favor.
We would, however, deem it
unfortunate that by any action of
this board or of your excellency we
would appear to condone such an offense.
The prisoner .will have served
two years of his sentence in September
next, and the board would
recommend that after the expiration
of two years that your excellency
would then grant a pardon upon the
s condition that should the defendant
be guilty of a like breach of peace
at any time before the expiration of
! his sentence that he be returned to
the penitentiary to serve the full pei
riod. The board would, therefore
recommend a pardon upon such conditions."
