If city council will enforce the law
against fast driving of every kind on
Bamberg street, whether of automo
"V'
biles or horses, these gentlemen will
earn the gratitude of many people
who have to walk. Present conditions
are dangerous, and we have
heard of several complaints.
feBS* 'v ^ _
City council passed an ordinance
p'/ a few years ago forbidding the blockading
of the sidewalks of Bamberg
street by merchants displaying their
goods on the sidewalks, but we notice
that it is continually being violated,
and pedestrians are often put
to great inconvenience thereby.
v" Either enforce the law or repeal it
and let all merchants display their
Wares on the sidewalks. Now, some
merchants do not want to violate the
law, and it is unfair to allow dis? /
crimination, for this is the effect of
^' the violations.
Railroad Avenue is largely used
111^ ' as a pasture and our main street
v pretty much as a stable. If the new
^ _ fclty council will put a stop to the
grazing of cows on Railroad Avenue
(which is against tne town ormnance)
and the partial blockading of
our main business street by teams
which are hitched and unhitched,
g# they will confer a great favor on the
citizens of the town. While on this
subject, would it not be a good idea
f , for council to rent a lot near the
business part of town, to be used as
a wagon yard, and require all teams
to be hitched there, providing stalls
for the purpose? It seems to us this
would be a great convenience to our
jK country friends and would improve
conditions very much.

Dr. Smith Reports Effort by Agents
of Packing-House.
Greenville, May 13.?In a letter to
Dr. C. F. Williams, State health officer,
Dr. C. E. Smith, of Greenville,
meat and milk inspector, states that
agents of Swift & Co. have endeavored
to get him to pass the 16,000
pounds of meat recently condemned
here on account of having been subp-v'
. merged in filthy water for 24 hours.
? - Drv-Smith absolutely refuses to pass
the condemned meat.
'? - In his letter to Dr. Williams he
says:
" "My idea is that they will keep it
until they think it has blown over
/'* and then try to put it on our market.
All the representatives of Swift have
assured me that they are willing to
do just what is right and what I demand,
but I cannot believe them, as
v they have tried every way to get me
to reconsider and pass the meat, and
when I positively refused to do so
they refused to do anything and now
they are criticising the city health department.
They claim that the meat
is all right and that the city health
department is a set of 'boneheads,' if
you know what that is. I think the
matter has hung fire long enough and
should be disposed of in some manner.
If we have not the authority to
handle the situation I will write Dr.
Melvin, at Washington, for advice. I
think it would be a disgrace to the
city and State if we cannot prevent
this meat being used for food purposes."
Woman Murdered in Her Bed.
Atlanta, Ga., May 17.?Mrs. Geo.
Burge was murdered early to-day by
u/v%.
a man, wno crept 10 xne siue ui uci
bed while she slept and cut her throat
with a razor. Her husband is under
arrest charged with the kiling.
A remarkable feature of the case is
that the slayer, after killing the woman,
picked up her 13-months-old
baby from its cradle and fervently
kissed it before running from the
roomf It is alleged that Burge, who
had separated from his wife, threatened
her with violence if she did not
give him custody of the baby.
Three other children of Mrs. Burge
?all step-children of Burge?were
asleep in the room at the time. Frank
Britton, the eldest of these, was
slightly cut by his mother's slayer,
whom he claims he recoginzed as his
step-father.
Burge was arrested at his boarding
house. The police claimed that he
, had blood on his shirt sleeve, but he
said it was merely dirt. He said that
he could prove an alibi.

Church?A Native of Mississippi.
Jackson, Miss., May 12.?Bishop
Cnarles B. Galloway, Oi the Methodist
episcopal church, South, died ot
pneumonia at his home here at 5 a.
m. to-day.
Bishop Galloway, Mississippi's
most distinguished divine and best
Known preachers, for the last 20
years held rank among the greatest
public orators of America. His illness
of several days' duration, was a
mild form of pneumonia, complicated
with heart trouble.
The bishop was taken ill last Frislrtxr

in one lung. The patient grew
worse rapidly. During the final 12
hours he was unconscious.
The funeral will take place Thursday
afternoon from the First Methodist
church, followed by interment at
Greenwood cemetery. Bishop Warren
A. Candler, of Georgia, will conduct

Orders have been issued for all departments
of the Federal, State,
county and municipal government to

Crowder has issued a proclamation
urging all the business houses to
close for the day.
Bishop Galloway was possibly the
most prominent of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South.
He was a son of Dr. C. B. Galloway,
and was born at Kosciusco, Miss.,
Sept. 1, 1849. His boyhood days
were spent there and at Canton. In

and to them were born two
sons and three daughters. The degree
of doctor of divinity was conferred
on him by the University of Mississippi,
and the degree of doctor of
laws by the Northwestern University
and the Tulane.
Bishop Galloway's writings covered
a wider range perhaps <han those of
any other person connected with the
church, and he traveled extensively.
He was the author of "The Life of
Linus Parker," "Methodism, a Child
of Providence," "A Circuit of the
Globe," "Modern Missions and Their
Value," and "The American Commonwealth."
He represented the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, at
the Ecumenical conference at Wash-I
ington, D. C., and London, England,
and was a fraternal messenger to the
General conference of the Methodist
church in Canada. He visited Brazil
twice, Mexico twice and China and
Japan three times.
Bishop Galloway took a leading
part in the affairs of his State and
was regarded as one of its foremost
citizens. He was a member of the
State board of trust and of the State
historical commission.
For a number of years he took an
active interest in the prohibition
campaigns in Mississippi and other
Southern States. He was president
of the board of education of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
president of the board of trustees of
Millsaps College and Vanderbilt University
and was a member of the
board of trustees of the John F.

Bailey and R. M. Young, two young
men of prominent families of Lee

each other while trying to kill another
man last night at a school entertainment
at Dryden. .
Young and Bailey had an altercation
with William Jesse over the
matter of tickets of admission.
Young and Bailey abused Jesse and
the latter struck one of them. Jesse
and Young clinched and Bailey in an
effort to shoot Jesse shot Young. As
Young was falling he fired aimlessly,
the ball killing his friend Bailey.
Jesse was shot in the side and another
man was slightly wounded. Pandemonium
reigned in the hall where
the entertainment wras held. Women
fainted and others screamed hysterically
and it was many minutes before
the frightened audience was pacified.
Young was the son of a former member
of the Virginia legislature and
Bailey was a telegraph operator.

The End in View.
The mother of a child objected to
a punishment given by the teacher,
and calling upon the teacher in tones
that were ice. "Miss Harrington, I
wish some information on the outrageous
proceedings. Kindly tell me
what end you had in view in punishing
my son?" "Why, Mrs. Grant, I
had the same end in view that anybody
would have in spanking a little
boy."

I S. A. L. WAREHOUSE BURNED.
i Pour Men Injured and Property
Worth $150,000 Destroyed.
Portsmouth, Va., May 16.?Fire
of unknown origin, accompanied by
an explosion, destroyed the general
ware house of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway at the railroad terminals
here early to-day, entailing a loss of
from $100,000 to $150,000, and resulting
in the injury of four men.
one being seriously hurt.
The injured are: Fireman Walter j
Bissett, struck by flying brick, seriously
hurt; Night Yardmaster
Matheson, nose badly cut and back
injured; Tom Sellers, colored, cut
about the head; unknown white
man, teeth knocked out.
Between fifty and sixty freight
cars, many of them loaded, also were
burned.
The fire gained rapid headway,
and for a time it appeared that all
of the buildings located in the Seaboard's
repair and construction
yards would be consumed. Soon
after the Portsmouth fire department
arrived on the scene, a tremendous
explosion within the store's
house, a brick structure, followed by
several smaller ones, sent bricks and
burning timbers flying in every direction,
greatly endangering the
lives of the fire fighters and others
who had gathered on the scene.
Whether it was a large tank of
acid or a quantity of dynamite stores
used in construction work on the
railroad, which exploded is a matter
of doubt, but the shock, which ensued
from the first explosion was
felt within a radius of five miles,
even rattling windows in Norfolk, on
the opposite side of the Elizabeth 1
river. The officials of the company ;
attribute the explosion to a quantity
of stored torpedoes.
The Burt store house contained
general supplies for the entire Seaboard
system, and the loss upon the
building and its general contents
alone is placed at $90,000. The fire
was confined to the store house and
cars, the latter being ignited by
burning timbers from the store
house, hurled upon the roofs by the
force of the explosion.
The firemen were greatly handicapped
in subduing the flames, it is
said, because the department's hose
would not fit the railroad hydrants.
THree or tne mjurea meu were
taken to the King's Daughters' Hospital.
All probably will recover."
Branchville Jail Burned.
Branchville, May 17.?On Sunday
morning about 2:30 o'clock the jail
here was destroyed by fire. One prisoner
(colored) was the victim of the
flames. The origin of the fire is not
known. The general opinion is that it
was started by the prisoner in an effort
to escape.
DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Bamberg People to Neglect.
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before
the sufferer recognizes them.
Health is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless
succession. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Cure the kidneys with the certain
and safe remedy, Doan's KidTuhiph
has cured neoDle
JUV^j a. iiAU) T? _ _ __
right here in Bamberg.
D. J. Cain, Church St., Bamberg,
S. C., says:
"I suffered from kidney trouble
for two or three years and during the
past six months my condition became
quite serious. I often had spells of
backache which were so acute I could
not work. I - could not sit down
without first grasping something for
support and then putting my whole
weight on my arms. After lying
down it was impossible for me to get
up without assistance, and I might
say that I was as helpless as a child.
The kidney secretions were disordered
and at times there was an almost
somplete retention. My condition
was critical and all the doctoring I
did brought me but little relief. Recently
I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I obtained from the Peoples
Drug Co., and I have since felt
so much tetter in every way that I
cannot praise the remedy too high- ?
ly."
