Special Music. * Last Sunday morning the congregation of Trinity Methodist church, of this city, had a delightful pleasure in the duet, "Thy will be done," so charmingly rendered as an offertory by Mrs. Harry All and Miss Bessie All, of Allendale, who are guests of Miss Addys Hays. Miss Bessie All has previously favored this congregation with one of her choicest selections, and the news that she would lend her sweet voice again was hailed with genuine pleasure. Mrs. Harry All sang also at the evening service, using, "I heard the voice of Jesus say," in most charm ing style. Her voice is a combination of unusual sweetness, with greai power and volume. We hope these delightful singers will m.ike frequeni visits to Bamberg. Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

A splendid congregation attended the morning services last Sundaj morning. The pastor's theme was the true attitude of Christian citi: zenship. The cool wind played havoc with the evening congregation, and only a small crowd listened to the interesting theme, discoursed upon by the pastor, namely the final state of the righteous. Th incident suggested ythe vital ques tion the disciples of Christ asnec him on a certain occasion, "Lord, art there many that be saved?" The B. Y. P. U. had a temperanct program this week with some special music, and took a collection foi missions. The Sunday-school is thriving Several new members last Sunday A collection will be taken next Sunday in the Sunday-school for foreigr missions. The pastor suggested thai each be a foreign missionary for ont day, and give all they make that daj to this noble cause. It is to be hoped many will do this. Don't forgel this, children, nor older ores, either Let us all ponder over the follow ing suggestion: "If all the members of my church were just like me what sort of a church would mj church be?" All night services, until furthei notice, will begin at 7:30 o'clock. The Confederate Monument. It has now been something like ftv< or six years since the first effort wa: made to raise funds for the Confed erate monument to be erected on th< court house square at Bamberg. Dur ing that time money has been sub scribed, and there is something in th< neighborhood of $800 in actual sight There are other promises which mak< the amount upwards of one thousanr dollars. It is now imperative that th< amounts subscribed be paid in, s< that the ladies of the Civic Leagu< can know what steps to take to rais< the balance. The Ladies Civic League has agreer to undertake some big things ii Bamberg, and aside from the men physical beauty of the town, tin League aims to do a perpetual an< lasting work. There is nothing mor< laudable than the attempt to rais< i funds for a Confederate monumen and this is what they propose to d( in addition to their self appointe( tasks of civic cleanliness and beauty As soon as the money subscribe( has been paid in to Mr. H. J. Brab ham, or any of the ladies of tin League, work will be begun for com pleting the amount. A man wel qualified to speak on the subject h& stated that the very reasonable sun of fourteen hundred dollars will be al that will be necessary to secure th< monument. Furthermore, that mai is ready to submit plans of a beauti ful monument. There are few county seats ii South Carolina, or in the entire Soutl for that matter, where there are no monuments to the Confederate veter ans. Shall we lag beMnd? Fbal Bamberg be slow in honoring .os< who honored the South? Shall ou sentiment and love for Hampton an< Lee and Jackson, and the private; who bore the heat and burden of th< day, shall our love for them be a mer. memory, or shall we respond to tin appeal of the Ladies Civic League As sociation and give of our materia substance to see the monument place< on our square? TheVe are several amounts whicl will be paid in which will make th< fund swell. They will be paid ii provided others will aid and do thei: parts. In the spring it is proposed to havi a spring carnival and the proceed) will be donated to the monumeii fund. Such affairs have been con ducted with marked success. No only have these affairs been success ful financially, but they have servec to give the towns much valuable ad vertising and have brought new busi ness to the towns. From now on the monument is th< thing. When you go to sleep be sur< to let your last thought be about thii thing. When you wake be sure t< have it on your mind to help in thii good cause. When you think, som< people do think at times, let it be t< plan how you can help the Confeaer ate monument cause. Civic League Association. Parents' Day to be Observed. Next Sunday afternoon will b known as "Parents' Day" at Trinit; . . n 1 1 mL* Metnoaist sunaay-scnoui. me icgu lar exercises will be conducted, bu with special reference to the relatioi of the parents to the Sabbath school All parents are especially invited t ? be present at 4 o'clock, and any oth ers who may wish to be present ar welcome. This idea is in keepin , with the general plan announced i: ! the fall of the last year when a coe] ? plete re-organization of the schoc ' took place. It is being planned t f have several special programs durin this year, observing such occasion as Children's Day. Patriotic Da} Rally Day, and perhaps others. . ! special program is being prepared fo } Temperance Sunday, which come i the last Sunday in March; the pre - gram will very likely be in entir charge of the Loyal Temperance L< } gion. i Miss Bessie Lee Black has bee - appointed as delegate to the Stat - inter-denominational Sunday-schoe t convention, which convenes in Oi i angeburg next week. Others wi t likely attend from the Method!: school. / Epworth League Dots. The devotional meeting of the . Epworth League was held Tuesday P evening, as usual. Quite a large | crowd was present and enjoyed the interesting program that was rendered. A selection on the Baptism . of Christ was read by Miss Annie Lou Byrd, an ' The I'emptations of , Christ" was read by Miss Mayme Gee | Jennings. Mr. M. W. Brabham conducted the services, and gave a pracr tical talk on the two selections that were read. The League is doing a r good work. r ??? Negro Killed. A negro named William Ward was shqt and killed near Denmark Monday of last week by Mr. A. D. PearI son. The shooting occurred on Monr day, but the negro lived until Thursday. An inquest was held by Coro! ner Gillam, and the coroner's jury [ returned a verdict that the negro's . death was caused by a pistol shot . wound by A. D. Pearson, who was . justifiable. Only two witnesses were examined ! at the inquest, Messrs. A. D. Pear . son and J. D. Turner, and Mr. rurI ner's testimony was not important. ? The testimony of Mr. Pearson was that a lap robe had been stolen from his buggy, and on being told that . this negro. Ward, had been seen . with a robe answering the description of his, he followed hin to Hilda, where he caught him with the lap [ robe in his possession. He arrested ! him and started back to Denmark, t but when they got to Half Moon t Branch the negro grabbed him by 5 the shoulder and threw him out of r the buggy. The negro ran and he I called to him to stop, and on his I not doing so Mr. Pearson began shooting. It appears that the negro [ got away, however, after being shot, j and, as above stated, lived several days. ' Dr. V. W. Brabham, county physician, made an examination of the . dead body of the negro and found several wounds. One of the bullets took effect in the left side, and this one produced death. i Spends $13,000 in Three Months. 5 New York, Feb. 8.?Although he had only ten cents in cash in his 3 pockets, a boy of 19 years, who said that he was Frank K. Hiller, of Lit' tie Rock, Ark., said that he had * spent $13,000 within three months. This information he confided ?to de3 tectives after he had been arrested J last night on the complaint of the 3 manager of a local hotel who charges I that young Hiller pasesd a worthless 3 check at the hotel. 3 The boy had recently been staying at the Hotel Astor and has 1 cashed several checks there, which 1 he admits are worthless, according 3 to the police. 3 A bank book showing an account 1 of $600 was found upon, him. It 3 was issued by the National Bank of 3 Commerce of Dallas. Texas. 1 Hiller said that he inherited con 3 siderable money from his father and 1 has since been "blowing it in." * Will Not be Confirmed. 3 . Washington, Feb. 9.?Crum will . not be confirmed at this session oi 2 congress, and it will be up to Mr. B Taft to make good his public utterj ances or to act counter to them. 1 Senator Frye to-dlay withdrew th 3 motion to confirm Crum. He asked 1 Senator Tillman if he was nearing . the end of his discussiion of the question, to which Mr. Tillman re2 plied that he was about half done. 2 Mr. Frye then asked the minority t leader, Senator Culberson, when h _ thought a vote could be reached 2 Mr. Culberson replied that he sa^w 3 no chance to get a vote before Marct r 1, whereupon Frye announced thai I he would withdraw the whole mat3 ter. 3 Several Democratic senators were 3 prepared to make long speeches or 3 the subject. Senator Tillman, all . told, has spoken seven and a hall 1 hours on the subject. Washington, Feb. 9.?Senatoi , Frye to-day abandoned his efforts tc I have the nomination or W. u. urum, I the negro reappointed as collector ol r customs at Charleston, S. C., confirmed at the present session. Aftei 3 the doors of the senate were closed 3 he asked the Democrats to agree tc t permit the Crum nomination tc come to a vote on March 1. t Failing to obtain the agreement, he said: I "Very well. I will withdraw the nomination for the present." It is understood by senate leaders that the case will not be again con3 sidered at the present session. * TRESPASS NOTICE, j All persons are hereby warned not to trespass on any of the lands of A.
