Death of Mrs. O'Xeal.
Mrs. Lalla O'Neal, the aged lady
wno was injured on Memorial uay uy
being thrown from a buggy, died at
her home in Fairfax on Saturday.
The death of Mrs. O'Neal is peculiarly
a sad one and the incident which
brought about the suffering and
death of this highly respected lady is
deeply to be regretted.
On Sunday a vast concourse of
friends and relatives laid the body
to rest at the old cemetery at Buford's
Bridge, known as the Moye
cemetery. Rev. Mr. Snelson, of Fairfax,
conducted the funeral services.
Many from Bamberg attended the
funeral to pay their last respects to
this good woman, who had lived here
and who was well known here during
all of her life.
- Mrs. O'Neal was 74 years old at
the time of her death. She was a
sister of Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, of Bamberg,
and of Mr. M. A. Moye, formerly
of this place. She lived here for
several years with relatives. She
was a consecrated Christian woman,
and had been for a long time a member
of the Baptist church at this
place.

Man's Face on Window Pane.
A phenomenon which has attracted
hundreds of persons during the
last week in the northeastern section
of the city is the appearance of the
figure of a dead man on a window
pane in his residence, says a Reading
dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American.
Oliver D. Angstadt, a tailor, died
last October. A week ago to-day, it
is alleged, his daughter saw the face
of her father at a second-story window.
Finally the story became known,
and the curious ones began to gather
at the Angstadt home. When the
crush became great a squad of police
was sent to the house.
Residents declare that they saw
Mr. Angstadt's likeness on the window
pane very plainly. In a way of
explanation, it is said that Mr.
Angstadt was fond of watching the
lightning and some declare that by
a strange freak of nature his features
were photographed on the window
pane and the sun has developed
the same.

Children's Day at Trinity. i
Next Sunday the children of Trinity
Sunday-school will observe Children's
day, and a delightfully enter- ]
taining program has been arranged
for the occasion. The regular Sabbath
school hour will be used and a
special offering for church extension fj
will be taken. A large number of
children will take part in the exercises,
which will consist of recitations.
songs and readings. A cordial
invitation has been extended to all
and it is hoped that the high water 1
mark of attendance will be eclipsed t
by that of next Sunday. The decora- t
tions, so it is said, will be beautiful c
and well worth a visit to the church. *
The hour set is half part four o'clock. I
Contract Let. t
The building committee for the g
Methodist parsonage held a meeting
last Thursday afternoon for the purpose
of awarding the contract for
the remodeling of the parsonage.
There were several bidders, but the
contract was awarded to Mr. Rufus
Antley, of St. Matthews, he being the
lowest bidder. The work will cost
about $2,000. Work is to begin in
two weeks, and the job is to be completed
by the first of August. E. J. &
W. K. Dunne, of Sumter, are the
architects for the building and drew
the plans. This firm also has in
charge the erection of the new city
hall building.
For a Clean Town.
A committee from city council is
now making an inspection of all
premises in the town, in order to see
the actual sanitary condition of the
town. These gentlemen can be
counted on to do their full duty, and
they are resolved that Bamberg shall I
be a clean city, as they realize that
this is necessary for the health of the
citizens. Remember, if these gentlemen
should get after you about the g
condition of your premises, they are \
doing it for the good of the town, Y
and you should follow out their di- Y
rections... .... , E

Obituary. r
After an illness of two' weeks of b
the most painful suffering, Mrs. b
Lalla O'Neal passed away on the g
morning of the 15th of May, 1909. u
She was a consistent member of the ^
Bamberg Baptist church, sweet, gentle
and kind in disposition, and at no
time ever losing sight of the lady-like
impressions of an early training. She v
had passed her three score year and v
ten, and up to the unfortunate cir- ?
cumstance that caused her death, her ti
health was almost perfect. Her 8
death has been a great shock to her t
large circle of friends and relatives g
and has cast quite a gloom over the
whole country. She leaves one broth- t!
er and sister with a large number of p
friends and relatives to mourn her ft
loss. The funeral services were held ^
at the old Moye cemetery, - Buford's ft
Bridge, at which place her remains ft
were laid to rest on Sunday, the 16th f(
day of May, 1909. o

Report of Epworth League. v
We are so much pleased and *
gratified with the success of our a
work during the past year. First of n
all we do thank our Heavenly Father ^
for our good desires and impulses D
that come from him.
We have for our president Mr. J. *
C. Guilds. He is a zealous worker, g
and an enthusiastic president makes a
an enthusiastic Epworth League. He
presides with dignity and with his g
earnest consecration has awakened _
a new interest in our work. It is ?
said that "in knowledge there is j
pDwer;" this is certainly applicable
in League work. Our president un- ?
derstands this perfectly. He inspires _
and encourages us to do more for ?
Christ, and to yield our lives to God, ^
giving him quietly our prayers and t
our means. President Guilds has j.
tendered his resignation to us as g
president for another year. We regret
so much that we will soon lose _
him from among us, as this is his
second year and with him as a leader
we have done our best work. Our
prayers shall be for his success in all
and anything he may undertake. t
All our services are entertaining ?
and enlightening, in fact our every s
meeting is full of interest. We earn- t
estly hope that our efforts will not a
nrove futile, and that the good seed
we are endeavoring to sow will bring s
fortb a bountiful harvest.

NAPOLEON'S HORSE.
jittie White Arab Horse, Ridden by
French Conqueror, on Exhibition.
London, May 15.?Who could
juess from looking at this little
vhite, stuffed horse that long ago in
lis life time he was the favorite war
lorse of the great Napoleon Bona- J
larte?
As you can see by looking closely
te is smaller than the average horse,
md one would expect a war horse,
specially the favorite mount of such
i conqueror as Napoleon, tq be big
,nd muscular.
The little white horse has just been
liscovered, after having been hidden
.way for forty years. It has been
laced on exhibition in the Musee de
'Armee in Paris, a famous museum
vhere many thousands of tourists
md sightseers will gaze at it. Five ,
ears or so ago it was found in a box !
n an attic in the Locure. On this ,
iox was the inscription, "A Monsieur ;
le Chef des Musee Imperiaux a Paris, ,
2heval de Napoleon 1, from the Naional
History Society, Manchester."
^o the chief of the Imperial Museums
,t Paris.
The papers of the National History
Society at Manchester were diligently
earched, and it was found that the
tuffed horse actually belonged to '
Napoleon and that the great Emperor
if the French frequently rode him.
le was an Arab horse named Vizien.
If you could get near enough to the
lorse you would see that there is a 1
leculiar mark on his left flank. .That .
3 the monogram of Napoleon him- '
elf, which he had branded on the ,
inrse so that everv one who saw the
nimal would know that it belonged
o the Emperor Napoleon, the great- .
st conqueror of history.
You might get the idea from this 1
hat Napoleon was a fine rider. From .
11 account Napoleon was not a good J
ider and did not look well on horse- J
ack. No doubt if automobiles had
een invented in his time he would .
ladly have ridden in one, instead of
ising the little stuffed white horse, ,
rhose picture we see.
A Premium on Lawlessness.
]
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, of Har- ]
ard University, has expressed some j
lews upon the question of prohibi- ]
Ion which the temperate men among j
he Prohibitionists might very well j
tudy with advantage to the cause of ;
emperance and the good order of
ociety. He says: <
"Prohibition puts a premium on ?
be systematic violation of law and 3
roduces a form of corruption which
5 still worse than the corruption
rhich irradiates from the licensed saDon.
Further, it reinforces drinking
a its most miserable and dangerous I
arm. The moderate drinker is cut 1

reated. It abolishes light wine and
eer, and opens wide the way for the
worst kind of whiskey. It eliminates
very sound supervision and makes
linors and inebriates the favorite
ustomers. A clean surface appearnce
is bought at the expense of iner
moral and mental destruction. I
ave hardly any doubt that this proibition
movement will at first overwhelm
by its very superficiality the 1
ober efforts for education and reorm
in this country, just as vaudeille
and operetta have overwhelmed
he serious drama, as the cheap mag- j
zine has demolished the book store,
s the yellow press has captured the
lasses and as in a hundred other
orms the appeal to superficial judg- j
lent has been successful. Then, of ,
ourse, will come the reaction and 1
he cry for prohibition will just as j
wiftly disappear as the cry for free ,
Hver." ,
We do not think the case could be ^
tated better. Prohibition does not <
rohibit; on the contrary, prohibition
ncourages intemperance. It is, as ,
>rof. Munsterberg says, a wholly su- (
ierficial and ineffective remedy for ,
he admittedly great evil of intemlerance,
an evil which can be cured :
inly by sound education and respect :
or individual freedom. The prohibi- (
ionists generally are wholly sincere j
n their efforts doubtless to reform ^
ociety, but they cannot enforce tern- (
lerate living by intemperate action. ,

Pennsylvania Provides Special In.
structor for Unfortunate Girl.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 16.?Governor
Sturat's approval of the appropriation
for the Pennsylvania institution
for the deaf and dumb, at Mt.
Airy, near Philadelphia, makes possible
the education at that place of
Katharyn May Frjck, daughter of
Wm. Frick, of this city. The child,
who is 9 years old, has been blind as
well as deaf and dumb since her
fourth birthday.
When the bill appropriating
$300,000 to this institution was sent
to the governor, Representative
Tunis, of this city, learning that it
would cost about $2,000 to experiment
with the little Frick girl, had
the bill recalled and so amended as
to include $2,000 for a special instructor
for the child. Little Katharyn
is very bright, possessing many
of the characteristics of Hellen Kellar.
This is the first time the State
of Pennsylvania has undertaken the
individual education of a child or
person.
Tillman and Smith Talk.
Washington, May 15.?Senator
Gore to-day sought immediate consideration
of his resolution instructing
the committee on finance to obtain
by investigation the import prices of
various articles of general and ordinary
consumption, also the wholesale
and retail prices of such articles
when used in this country, the object
being to determine if the retailers in
this country are practicing extortion,
rhe consideration was postponed until
Monday.
With the disposal of the Gore resolution
Senator Johnstone, of Alabama
3poke on the tariff bill.
Reading from testimony of Carnegie
before the ways and means
jommittee, Senator Tillman declared
that Carnegie had made a vast '
amount* of money by favoritism in
legislation.
"I will not say by dishonesty," said
Senator Tillman, "because he has
anly taken advantage of the laws that
we pass. But he has made more
money than the entire bunch of us
tiere put together, and there are
3ome very rich men in this senate.
He has given away more money than
ill the Democrats of this body
possess?ten' times as much, I expect."
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
luring the discussion of the steel
schedule, contended that even at a
reduced rate the duty was too high.

- - * ,
aaao, wmcn aimosi comyietci^ mmcu
this section, will reach upwards of
$40,000.
Telephone and telegraph wires <
were torn down and not until late to- J
lay was communication with the outside
world possible.
A conservative estimate places the
number of buildings damaged or demolished
at 250. This may be increased
when all districts are heard
from.' Dwellings were unroofed,
barns and outbuildings demolished,
crchards uprooted and boards and
trees carried for several rods in the
air.
The houses and store buildings
clustered in town escaped serious
damage, although they were not left
untouched. Many awnings, chimneys,
verandas and roofs were carried
away, narrowly missing the heads of
pedestrians.
Up to late to-day but three persons :
were reported as injured. The most
seriously hurt is Frank G. Roundssrille,
an elevator owner, who was '
3truck with flying debris when his
building was demolished.
