* y HFV* Sambrrg ifrralh Thursday, July 23, 1908 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Our article in reference to the State press meeting was written and put in type for last week's issue, but it was crowded out. It is dry and dusty in Bamberg, and the crops in this section are needing rain. Unless showers come soon, the yield will be cut short. Mr. G. W. Eaves and family, who have been living at Sato, moved here this week and are occupying the Rice cottage on New Bridge street. In remitting for the Bamberg Her- 1 aid for another year, a lady subscri- ' her says "I can't see how I could , do without mv old home paper." , The young men of the county should not lose sight of the Citadel scholarship. This is a most excellent opportunity for some bright young man to secure an education. Mr. D. R. Matheny has the thanks of The Bamberg Herald force for a 1 very fine and luscious watermelon. It was a very large one. and we enjoyed it very much. "One good turn pgr > deserves another." c ? The catalogues of the Carlisle Fit- c ? x ting School are out. They were a 1 ? little late in being issued this year on account of having some new- cuts t made. As usual, the work was done a C' . at The Bamberg Herald office. t > In its recent presentment the i grand jury of Colleton severely cen- * ?;V . sored the magistrates of that county. E . One would conclude that our sister p' county would be better off without ^ Y ' any magistrates, to read the grand ;; jury report. The second county campaign meet- P ing will be held at Ehrhardt to-day . Bp (Wednesday.) We regret that we cannot attend, but it is press day f with us. People certainly want office * V a great deal when they will attend * campaign meetings and electioneer ? dnrine such hot weather. [ The residence of Mr. H. E. Dickin- j, f~ son caught on fire Tuesday afternoon ^ about five o'clock, and at one a time it looked as if the building f, ?{ would go,'but by hard work the flames were extinguished before Y/' , much damage was done. The fire ? , ' originated in the roof, and is suppos- ? / ed to have caugnt from a spark. ^ Rev. T. G. Herbert preached a ci i v strong sermon at the Methodist v church last Sunday morning, in ^ f/; 2'' -which he did some plain talking to v >?.-r v parents in regard to .the example set ^ their children. He based his remarks v P ,dn the death of Absalom. His ser- g, ; - mon was especially appropriate to v' many fathers and mothers in Bam- a pfg''berg. ?- _ ? County Campaign Meeting. The first campaign meeting for > this county was held at Denmark last Wednesday, and was attended by a IJv^r good crowd of voters. Hon. C. W. Garris, president of the Denmark p club, presided over the meeting, which was held in Guess's hall. All R ' of the candidates were present and made speeches, which were well received. We regret not being able : to give an outline of the speeches P: made, but it was simply impossible (i for us to be present at the meeting. ' We expected a correspondent to send In a report of the meeting, but were disappointed. A Sad Death. f< : W k": .Little Landon Dickinson, the five- oi vear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. M X Dickinson died at their home in this 5 city last Sunday afternoon about four fc o'clock, after an illness of only a few n days. The little fellow was a bright, ii handsome boy, and was a great fav- si drite. The burial took place Mon- c< day morning at the new cemetery, a) the services being conducted by Rev. ni | T. G. Herbert. To the bereaved par- pi ?/;. i ents we extend sincere sympathy. s e< Loyal Temperance Legion. ol U The Loyal Temperance Legion will fi( ' V hold its regular meeting at the Meth- pi lV odist church next Monday afternoon m ^ at five o'clock. ? am very anxious cc :y ..that each member be present. Boys d] and girls there is work for us to do. S ^ Each member has a place and a real c( .< part .in this part of God's work. Let m us get in earnest about this work. b] ;i. ? Come out on Monday, and let us a( fl;;. carry out our plans before the W. ^ ~C. T. U. State Convention meets here ?f Jggf in September. . LEADER. mm ;/* The Thornwell Memorial. At a recent meeting of the grand rc lodge Knights of Pythias in Aiken a 01 ; c&pmittee was appointed to raise a ri Memorial to the memory of Dr. J. in H. Thornwell, late grand keeper of al roAnrHs anH saai and one of the most ol ? beloved men in the order in this State. Mr. F. P. Cooper, of Charles- b ton, was made chairman of this com- ^ mittee, and he is intensely interested w In the work. It is expected that a t fund of at least $12,000 will be raised, and the form of the memorial will ii be decided at the next meeting of the b( grand lodge. is Mr. Cooper will make a visit to a Bamberg lodge next Monday evening, ^ July 27th, in the interest of the H Thorn well memorial, and he will ad- h dress the lodge on the subject. The 0 matter will be thoroughly explained, - * - IV. T,? tl ana it is expected mat me mcmrno ? of this lodge will contribute liberally K to this fund. Remember that every ^ dollar is to be raised by private sub- ^ scription, and every Pythian should S( esteem it a privilege to contribute to b a memorial to that grand old man, d Dr. J. H. Thorn well. z' Mr. Cooper will also exemplify the ^ secret work of the order, and every member of the lodge ought to be present for this feature. He certainly does this work well, and every one 1: who hears him will certainly enjoy ii it. We heard him exemplify the se- e cret work before the grand lodge in e Aiken, and it was very fine. So come T out to the meeting next Monday night. You will enjoy it. Degrees o are to be conferred, too, and the new a regalia and stereopticon will be used, t ' MR. 9. B. WATSON RETURNS. Has Been Talking Farmers' Union in Several Counties. "I have just returned from a big trip to Edgefield, Aiken, Barnwell, Bamberg, and Hampton," said Mr. J. Belton Watson Tuesday afternoon. "I went there to teach the farmers about the union. I found mighty fine crops, and I also found the people ready and willing to join the union. It won't be long before we will have all that part of the State unionized."?Anderson Advocate. No Day Current. None of our friends can imagine what great trouble we have labored nnHor in isaiiinc nnr naner durine the past few months. With our newspaper press in a separate building and no day current, which forced us to run our linotype and job presses at night, we have had a mighty bad time. However, we have the newspaper press moved now, and as soon as we can collect some money and buy a generator, we will start a day current of our own. Then we will be fixed to print The Herald twice a week if need be. But until we can ?et a day current we will be fearfuly handicapped'in our work. So come n and help us out, friends, so that we can give you better service. Knights of Pythias. Bamberg lodge, No. 38, Knights >f Pythias.is making great strides unler the administration of Mr. L. B. ?owler as chancellor commander. The growth in membership has >een steady since the first of the year, tnd he has induced the other officers o memorize the initiatory ceremon es and no rituals are used in the 1 odge now. This is a great improveuent. In addition to this, some very . tandsome new regalia has been ought, in fact an entirely new out- 1 it of officers' robes, etc., has been ] rocured, and a stereopticon has been 1 ought for the purpose of illustratQg the lectures of the different derees. This machine was used for he first time at the last meeting, ' nd the members were simply delight- 1 d with it. The robes and general j araphernalia of the lodge will com- ] are favorably with that of any lodge 1 a the State. Pythianism is on a ( oom in Bamberg, and the attend- 1 nee of old members is increasing, 1 ar the meetings are interesting. / J Annual Reunion. * The annual reunion of Co. G, 1st ? . C. V., will take place again on the ? Oth of July, 1908, at Bethesda hurch. Everybody is cordially in- ? ited to attend with well filled bas- t ets, especially all old Confederate t eterans are expected to attend. Dis- t inguished speakers have been in- ( ited to speak on the occasion. The ime committees that served last ear are expected to serve this year gain. Let us have a full attendance. J. B.

' f Fought Over Election. ? Greenwood, July 20.?Reports s ;aching here late this afternoon tell c r what might have resulted in se- v ous trbtfble to-day at Ninety-Six, i i this county. An election was held r t Ninety-six to-day on the question E F voting twelve thousand dollars in ands to build a new graded school { uilding. There was considerable j ;eling manifested, and the bonds t ere voted by a small majority. Af;r the election was over a few citi- ^ rns in favor of the bond issue got c lto an argument with Joe W. Tol- c ert, who, it seems, had opposed the ^ isue and worked against it. After f little while a row began. Tolbert a as knocked down and given several c cks. Later a committee waited on j im and ordered him to leave town t n the first train. j Tnihort is thp nnp who fierured in T ie Phoenix riot several years ago. c [e has been living at Ninety-six for ^ tie past year. It was reported here his afternoon that he had gotten ? sveral negroes to vote against the ? ond issue, and this aroused the in- , ignation of some of the white citi- { ens. Sheriff McMillan has gone to f finety-six. Georgia College Burned. \ LeGrange, Ga., July 20.?Fire ear- s 7 Sunday destroyed the main build- i ig and college chapel of the South- c rn Female College (Baptist) here, ntailing a loss estimated at $40,000. 1 'here was no insurance. < The Southern Female College was 1 rganized in 1842 and has ranked i mong the leading educational insti tions of the South. / i t GEORGIA'S FIRST BALK. Deal Jackson Sustains His Record as Cotton Farmer. Albany, Ga., July 17.?In spite of his own prediction, made several months ago, that adverse weather conditions had ruined his first bale prospects for this season, Deal Jackson, Dougherty county's well known negro farmer, brought in the first bale of 1908 cotton this afternoon. He beat last year's record by two days. Deal Jackson has been the "firstbale" farmer of Georgia for 12 or 15 years and during that time has not lost his title for even one season. Lewis Captured in Woods. Tampa, *'ia., Juiy i?.?jas. ni. Lewis, clerk at the Tampa railroad freight office, who early this morning fatally stabbed his wife and seriously stabbed his son, aged 3, at their home, was captured at 11 o'clock this morning in the woods near Sulphur Springs line car barns, but the mob which had been searching for him all night, intent on lynching him, had disbanded and he was taken quietly to jail. Lewis had a dangerous wound in his breast and declared his wife stabbed him with a pair of scissors before he attacked her. The wife will die.. She claims Lewis stabbed her and her son because she refused to live with him. A divorce suit was filed by the woman against Lewis yesterday. While officers and the mob with I bloodhounds were scouring the country for him early this morning Lewis was hidden behind a fence only a block distant from the scene of the crime. Murder Was Unprovoked. Youngstown, O., July 17.?Frank Ward, aged 37 years, an ev-convict, shot and instantly killed Walter Henry, aged 28 years, at 11 o'clock last aight near Calvary cemetery. Ward was out riding with Sadie Allen. j Henry, who was manager of the Duquesne hotel, was driving. with three young ladies in a surry. Ward passed the Henry party near the cemetery, where Henry had stopped to ieht a cigar. Ward swore at Henry md called him vile names. Further >n Ward stopped his rig to let Henry ?ass and he again called Henry vile lames. Henry got out of his rig and valking to the buggy of Ward asked lim what he meant. Ward without iny warning fired. The bullet went vild and Henry grabbed Ward's arm isking him what he meant, saying 'Don't do that, Frank." i Ward jerked his arm and fired igain the bullet striking Henry in he right breast. He fell between he wheels of the% buggy, dead. Ward ;urned and fled, but was later arrestid. An Anderson Runaway. 1 Tuesday evening an automobile :ontaining, besides the driver, a fairy good-looking man and a handsome roung lady, stopped in front of Gravslly's stables in Pickens and the men engaged a team to carry the couple " * - * -? ?*- T7IJ O 1116 nome 01 ivii. Ciueue, a uu?t *ickens. Telegrams were sent out from Anlerson to be on the look-out for the >arties and to arrest them. Sheriff Fennings and party, consisting of A. 3. Gravelly, E. A. Lewis and Earle Fennings, made the drive Wednesday " norning and apprahwided the couple ^ it Mr. Edens'. From the best information obtaintble, it appears that the man, Elliott Ceith, who was librarian at the pubic library in Anderson, and who has i wife and two children living there, iad became enamored of the young . ady, and she being infatuated with I lim they decided to skip the county; o hired an automobile and came to 'ickens, and from here were going, >y easy stages, to Texas, where Mr. Ceith said he intended to get a diorce and marry the lady. The young lady, Miss Sullivan, who s a member of one of the best familes of Anderson, practically corroborates this statement. Mr/ Keith was iassing the young lady off as his liece. ! SherifT Jennings carried the paries to Anderson this morning. % Under the circumstances, and from ? he testimony picked up, a lawyer ommenting on .the case, says there i 3 no law to reach the parties. How- | ver; we dp: not know any of the cirumstances-or what charges, if any, < irill be brought against them.

To the voters of Bamberg County: Gentlemen?On account of. busi- 1 iess in my office and other unavoid- < ble circumstances it will be impos1 ible for me to make a house to house apvass, though I would be glad to 4 isit' every voter in the county. - * 11 ?? C fA ? . nereiore, i can upon eacu ui jwu w emember me on the day of the pri- < aary. by casting your vote for me. You all know me, as I was born 1 n this county r went to the war from < Jamberg county, and have lived near g he court house all my life. Since I have been Sheriff I have t [one my best to fill the office with . redit to myself and the good people ?f the county. Now, I ask the well- i lone of the people by electing me g or one more term and I will never igain ask for the office, as that will I :omplete the age allowed to man? . hree score and ten?that will be ime for me to quit, as I have been i >egging along for 46 long years upon . ny crutch, caused by the war, while ?thers have enioyed the pleasure of i )oth legs. f I now appeal to my old comrades ind to the sons of the old Confeder- i ite soldiers to help me in my old age. 4 md thereby show their admiration 'or courage, their pride of ancestry, or the veneration of their forefath;rs. Are we mindful of the wonder;ul heritage of honor and glory which s ours, and are we unmindful of the c sublimity of the duty which devolves c lpon us to perpetuate the memory 1 )f those who won this undying honor. 1 I do sincerely thank the people of 1 3amberg county for what they have 1 ione for me in the past, and for the c lelp I anticipate from them in the ^lture. Most respectfully, J. B. HUNTER. Bamberg, S. C. SPORTING MAN KILLED. | Luke Palmer of Tampa Slain by His Wife.
