The county chain gang is now in ; camp at Cedar Springs, on the plan4 ? tation of Capt. W. A. Riley, near t 4 town. For the past eight weeks ' the gang has been at work on the road from Bamberg to the Little Saltkehatchie crossing at the planta. tion of Mr. J. F. Jones. This road has been clayed on both sides of the swamp, and is now one of the finest highways in the county. It gives the people of the Ehrhardt section a good hard road to Bamberg, and the distance is shorter than by the old road.

Pressly Mims, the young white 0 man who killed his father at Wateree a few months ago, was tried in Co lumbia last week and acquitted. Our readers will remember that Mims shot his father, killing him instantly. The jury was out about 2 hours, and an unusual feature of the case was that there were no witnesses for the defense. Joe Mims, the father, was said to have attacked his son with an axe, and Pressly Mims claimed he fired with a shot gun to save his own life. The family formerly lived in Bamberg, the dead man being the father of Mrs. G. A. Ducker. A Splendid Southern Institution. In this issue we print a very attractive advertisement for the South- 1 ern States Life Insurance Company, * of Alabama, for which company Mr. ] W. C. Patrick is general agent for l Bamberg and several adjacent counties. Through this advertisement , special attention is directed to an ex- < tract from a recent report to the In- < surance department of the State of * Alabama, on the Southern States ( Life, by Actuary S. H. Wolfe, Ameri- 1 ca's foremost actuary. In this re- } port, Mr. Wolfe unreservedly says: 1 "The administration of the company j has been beyond reproach." The management of the Southern States ^ Life points with pardonable pride to this endorsement of its management, coming as it does from an actuary j of national reputation, and the magnificent showing which they have been s able to make proves the company J to be a splendid Southern institution, j p "Rnmhere 1 JVir. I'd U1U&) uv vv .,? w boy, says that because of his com. pany's peculiar plan of organization and through the loyal support of the Southern people, whose confidence his company, through its conservative management, has commanded, he is enabled to offer to the insuring public the best that there is in insurance. welcome this addition to the business interests of our town and wish Mr. Patrick and his company much success.

( Williams was convicted of manslaughter with very little trouble on { the part of the State, and a sentence i of 10 years on the county chain gang, 1 or in the State penitentiary was plac- ( ed upon the man. The attorneys for j the defense, appealed to the Supreme 1 Court, but on account of failure to; \ perfect the appeal, the man will have-' to go to the chain gang to-morrow, h to take up his service of 10 years for, J the kiling of the preacher. Williams j has been confined in the county jail since his trial pending the appeal.? Orangeburg Evening News. The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-day at . nine cents the pound.

It is most earnestly desired by the Leader, that each member be in their Dlace. We are just entering upon a new fear in our noble work; let's make it the very best possible. At this meeting you will learn something of what was accomplished on L. T. L. day in our past convention. It is necessary that you become informed about our great worldwide work in order that you shall become more determined than ever before to do all that in your power lies to drive )ut this accursed rum traffic from our ^orders. We are a State organization this year, therefore let's work in earnest for "God and home and every land." B. L. B. Letter to D. M. Eaves, Bamberg, 9. C. Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe to paint four town, your road won't have so nuch freight to handle. It takes 10 gallons to paint a fairsize house, and that house won't want cainting again for 5 or 10 years, rhat's true in a way; but people, you snow, rather like fresh paint and :hey paint for nothing but looks sometimes. That house would take 12 or 13 rallons of almost any other paint than Devoe, and would have to be painted igain in half that time. Ten years s a very lpng time for a paint to vear; and five isn't short. Which .makes the most freight, a LO or 20-gallon paint? 5 or 10 yearmint? But the 10-gallon paint is ;he 10-year paint; and the 20-gallon mint is the 5-year paint. Which nakes the most freight? Ask your paint-dealer which he'd ather sell, and which he could sell nost of. Ask your painter which le'd rather paint; whether good or jad paint is good for his busintss; vhich is good paint, the 10 or 15 gallon paint; which pays most reight, and which pays most wages. JVhich will you buy yourself, the 10;allon 10-year, or 20-gallons 5-year, mint. Yours truly >1 F W DEVOE & CO. P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. At the. annual meeting of the (tockholders of the Bamberg Cotton dills Company, held this 21st day of September, 1908, the following res>lutions were offered by J. A.
