tlon. Let Bamberg folks do their
part and another boarding hall
would soon have to be built to accommodate
the students.
Don't say the old vehicle will
have to do, that it can be fixed up

to make yourself dissatisfied.

some time with Miss Elizabeth Roberts.
Saturday night about eleven
o'clock our town was aroused by a
gun shot and screams. Upon investigation
it was found that Perkins
Copeland, colored, had shot John
Bingley, colored, in the left hip with
a shot gun. The load of shot broke
the bone in the thigh about three
inches from the hip joint. . The doctors
say that Bingley will 4die if they
amputate or leave it on, so they concluded
to let it stay as they found it.
Loose women of their race is at the
bottom of all the trouble.
Mr. A. W. Brabham brought in
two bales of cotton last week. They
were rather green and did not show
up good samples.
Farmers would get better results
from their cotton if they would pay
more attention to drying their cotton
before ginning, fio as to give a
better simple.. Try it, farmers, and
be convinced. Mr. O. P. Folk was
in town on business early this morning
to avoid the heat of the day.

Denmark, August 19.?Mr. Henry
Raysor, of Ocala, a la., and Miss
Roberta Reed were married yesterday,
the 18th, at the home of the
bride's uncle, Mr. D. B. Reed, in this
city, in the presence of a few friends.
Kev. J. B. Traywick performed the
ceremony. Mr. Raysor is surely a
fortunate man, for Miss Roberta was
one of our very best girls. The good
wishes and prayers of all Cur people
go with them, that they may have a
happy life.
We are pained to announce the
death of Hon. Eugene T. LaFitte,
who had but recently come among
us to live. He was well-known here
before. He had just built an ele

such are the uncertainties of this
life. He leaves a widow and two
children. ;
We have had some fever of late,
but the type has been mild. No
deaths; no serious sickness. Indeed,
our community is remarkably
healthy.
Some of our people have hied
away for rest and healing waters.
Among them are Jacob D. Baxter to
Glenn Springs, and Mr. and Mrs. L.
C. Rice to Hot Springs, Ark.
The piilpit of the Baptist church
was filled the second Sunday by Rev.
W. D. McMillan, of Blackville, as the
pastor, Rev. Lewis M. Rice, was detained
at his home in Union by sickness
in his family. He only
preaches here one Sunday a month.
We are anxious to have him move
into our town.
The Sunday-school at the Methodist
church has grown to large
proportions since they have gone into
the new church. Cap;t. J. B.
Guess, the genial and efficient superintendent,
wears a smile that won't
come off. He will need a number of
new teachers.
During the past week Rev. J. B.
Traywick has conducted a series of
revival services at Binnaker's school
house. The services were held at
night?moonlight. Crowds were
large. Quite a number joined the
churches since the meeting.
Mr. Traywick has been off a little
with fever, but is up again. Mr. J.
A. Wiggins also has been a little unwell
of late, but is still to be found
at his office in the bank. Both these
gentlemen need a rest. The tremendous
strain through which they
passed in building the high school
and church, with no let up on their
regular work was enough to put
them aside for repairs for a while.

OBSERVER.
Thrown Into Manhole.
Yorkville, Aug. 16.?An accident;
which might have proved quite a
serious if not fatal one occurred
here last Friday night. Mr. John
R. Shurley, a clerk in the York
drug store, with Miss Leon White,
eldest daughter of Alderman John
P. White, was in a buggy driving
up King's Mountain street, going to
a party at the residence of Mr. John
S. Sandifer at the King's Mountain
Military school building. As they
were opposite the residence of Mr.
L. R. Williams the buggy slipped
into an excavation, called a manhole,
dug by the sewerage workmen.
It was about 10 feet deep and the
same across. There was no red lantern
there to give notice of danger,
it is said, and the wheels of the
buggy slipped in, throwing the
young man and lady in the hole.
Then the buggy toppled in and the
horse fell on top of it. Fortunately
they were not crushed to death and
Mr. Shurley was'at his business next
day, but the young lady is confined
to her bed and the physician says
she is suffering from great shock
and it can not be ascertained what
her injuries are.
The horse and buggy were hired
from Barron Bros., liverymen, and
they claim the horse is injured.
They tendered it to the superintendent
of the sewerage construction,
but he declined to receive it and
says he was not responsible for the
accident.

Arrested on Fraud Charge.
On last Saturday Branchville was
treated to a mild sensation when it
became known that an attempted
swindling of one of her citizens had
been nipped in the bud.
An advertisement appeared in the
State some time ago wanting a manager
for South Carolina to sell scales
for the Standard Computing Scale
Company, of Detroit, Michigan.
A correspondence was entered into
by Mr. G. M. Noble of this place,
and J. T. Martin, who claimed to be
the secretary of the company. He
wanted to establish a distributing
agency in Columbia.
Mr. Noble met him in Charleston
last week to conclude the arrangement
resulting from Mr. Martin's offer
which was, that to insure earnest
effort on Mr. Noble's part he was to
purchase $500 worth of stock'in the
company. In return he was to be
appointed manager for South Carolina.
They were to go to Columbia and
select an office which was to be fur?~
J ? 'v?A A tirA n
msueu re ill, irec. .ur. iiuuic nao iu
receive a salary of $100 per month
and ten per cent, on all sales.
When he returned from Charleston
a friend advised Mr. Noble to communicate
with the, house which Martin
claimed to represent before closing
the deal. In reply, the company
informed Mr. Noble that they did not
know this man at all, that he was a
swindler, and to have him arrested.
Saturday he was to have been joined
here by Mr. Noble and they were to
go to Columbia and commence work.
By claiming he could not pay over
the money until later in the day, Mr.
Noble induced Mr. Martin to stop
over for the day. Constable A. R.
Byrd was on hand, and he was arrested.
Martin protested that it was
all a mistake but he was taken to
Orangeburg and lodged in jail. A
request has since reached here that
he be held for a similar offense elsewhere.
United States Commissioner
Robert Lide has also issued a warrant
for him for using the mails unlawfully.
He claims that his father
is president of one of the trust companies
of Louisville, Ky.?Branchville

TOUGH GAFFNEY CITIZEN /
Not Only Got Drank Himself bnt
. Made Two Little Girls Drank.
Gaffney, August 10.?Almost the
entire population of "Stumptown,"
a part of the Gaffney Manufacturing
company's mill village, was in the
mayor's court this morning as wit-1
nesses against one Joe Medlin, a citizen
of unsavory reputation, who resides
in the aforesaid "Stumptown."
Medlin was charged .with being
drunk and disorderly and disturbing
the peace of the community on
the Sabbath day. He not only got
drunk himself, but he gave whiskey
to two little girls or aoout iweive
years' of age, making them both
beastly drunk. The worst part of
the transaction is that one of the
girls was his own child. The other
was a Jennings girl.
When arrested yesterday, Medlin
was required to deposit fifteen dollars
for his appearance this morning,
and when the case, was called
he failed to appear, and his bond
was forfeited. It is very probable
that if he had been present Mayor
Ross would have given him the fujl
limit after the facts in the case were
brought out. A
Letter to G. Frank Bamberg,
Bamberg, S. C.
'Dear Sir: We asked City. Drug
Co, Crystal Springs, Miss, to sell Devoe.
They wanted to know, of their
own knowledge, how it compared
with another paint they knew all
about?it was sold right there, and
considered good.
They painted the house of W B
McCluney two coats on purpose to
test the two paints against one-another;
one coat Devoe 6 gallons; the
other coat that other paint 10 gallons.
Difference .$20; $7 for paint,
$13 for labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an
excellent paint, and has a good deal
of local goodwill.

The Only Available Spot.
During the recent congress of the
American Medical Association in
Chicago, some pretty good stories
were told by the visitors. A southern
physician related a number of
funny experiences among the colored
folks at the time of a smallpox scare
in which a general vaccination crusade
had been undertaken. One case
was an old colored woman, who said
she had no time to stop work to be
sick from vaccination; that the children
would starve and freeze if she
could not do her laundry work, and
that it was positively out of the question
to have a lame arm.
"Well, auntie," said the doctor,
"I will vaccinate you on one of your
lower limbs, so it won't interfere
with your work."
"No, siree," said auntie; "I can't
spare one o' my laigs, neither."
Thon fhp doctor said kindly:
"Well, what spot could you spare,
because you must be vaccinated."
The old colored woman thought
and thought, and finally said slowly:
"Well?Lord knows?I don't never
get no chance to?set down."
High School For Branchville.
Branchville, Aug. 14.?An election'
on the high school, special school
tax and issuing of bonds questions i
was held here to-day. It resulted i
in an overwhelming victory in favor
of the propositions, not a vote being
cast against the bonds and only j
one against the high school and
special school tax. The .school tax
is one mill on the dollar and the
bonds $3,000. The trustees are doing
everything they can to get the
high school this year. |
