Meets Death in Elevator.
New York, June 7.?On her first
visit to New York and her first ride
in an elevator, Miss Lena Schoonmaker,
19 years old, one of a sightseeing
party, was crushed to death
this afternoon when her head was
caught between the floor of the elevator
and the sixth floor of the Flatiron
building. The party was being
chaperoned by Mrs. Charles M.
Hall, daughter of Judge Alton B.
Parker.
When four of the girls started to
descend in the elevator, Lena fell
forward in a faint, her head near the
door of the car. The car stopped
but started up again. The head of
the girl rolled over the edge of the
car and the protruding ledge of a
floor caught and crushed her skull,
broke her neck and crushed in her
chest. She died instantly.
The elevator boy was placed under
arrest on a technical charge of homiK.

NEWS AND NOTICES
Bro. C. B. Free and Rev. O. J.
Frier, the pastor, attended the executive
committee meeting of the
Barnwell Association at Blackville
last week.
The inclement weather prevented
my prayer meeting last Thursday
evening.
We had a good attendance at Sunlay-school
Sunday morning and fair
congregations at the preaching services.
The pastor preached in the morning
on the commendations of Jesus,
viewed as his medals and diplomas,
noting the things they were given
for. The line of thought and Bible
study seemed to be very much appreciated.
The theme at night was Paul, the
ever ready. He was presented as always
ready for service or sacrifice in
the service of his Lord.
Friday afternoon will be the regular
time for the Sunbeam Band to
meet.

was as usual good, but especially so
Sunday.
Pastor 0. J. Frier attended the
ministers' conference of the Barnwell
Association Monday at Denmark.
A goodly number were present,
and the main topic of interest
and discussion was the coming prohibition
election in August and the
attitude we should take and what we
ought to do in the matter as ministers
of the gospel.
All ministers of every denomination
in Bamberg and Barnwell counties
were requested to' meet with the
conference on further consideration
of this question on Monday after the
first Sunday in July.
If you continually miss your children
from the regular family meals,
you become uneasy about them, and
usually they are sick when they do
not have appetite. So it is when the
pastor misses some faces from the
regular services, it is occasion for
concern; for if a professed Christian
has no relish or appetite for the
"sincere milk of the word," It is
evidence that such one is in a sickly
spiritual condition

ROBBERY ON MAIN STREET.
Automobile Repair Shop Broken
into and Robbed.
Last Wednesday night, between
the hours of 12:30 and 2:30
o'clock burglars forced an entrance
into the repair shop of Mr. Buist
Brickie by smashing a glass in the
back door and removing the bar
across the door.
The robbery was discovered by
Mr. Brickie about 2:30 a. m., when
j he came down to take the early
| morning train. After a hurried in
vestigation ne stanea on a searcn
for the night marshal and reported
the robbery to him. Bloodhounds
were immediately put upon the trail,
but as the robbers had provided
themselves with bicycles taken from
Mr. Brickie's stock, it was impossible
for the dogs to do anything.
The robbers were tracked in the
direction of Denmark by the tracks
of the bicycles, but the trail was
lost at the ginnery about a mile from
here. It is supposed that the culprits
leit the dirt road at this place
and took to the railroad track.
Mr. Brickie is inclined to think
that the job was accomplished by
some one familiar with the
place, as they seemed to find no
difficulty in selecting articles of
greatest value.
An inventory of the stock revealed
the fact that three Winchester rifles,
two pistols, two bicycles and eight
pair of bicycle tires were taken. The
robbers left one bicycle standing outside
the back door, however, it having
a broken chain, and selected another
one in good repair.
It is thought that the same parties
tried to force the back door of Mr.
D. A. Kinard's store at about the
same hour, but were frightened away
by the night marshal, who arrived
in time to fire three shots at a fast
retreating from, none of which it is
thought took effect.
Gone to the Hospital.
Wesley Banks, who was shot over
a year ago by Preston Brown and
who has never recovered from his
wounds, left yesterday afternoon for
the hospital in Charleston for an operation.
It will be remembered that
Banks was shot while guarding railroad
property. Banks is a negro
who has the respect and confidence
of the white people of Bamberg, and
they not only contributed to pay the
expenses of his illness after he was
shot, but they have contributed to
pay his expenses at the hospital.
Banks showed us the subscription
list on Monday before he left, and we
were gratified at the liberal contributions
made by our best people. Banks
desires us to thank his white friends
through The Herald for their kindness,
and he is especially grateful to
Dr. J. J. Cleckley, who not only attended
him dnrine his illness and
since without charge, but who accompanied
him to Charleston for the
operation. We trust that the -operation
will be successful, and that Wesley
will be restored to health, and in
this connection we cannot too highly
commend the big heartedness and
Christian liberality of Dr. Cleckley,
who has attended . Banks so long
without reward or hope of reward. I

the loss of many thousand dol- '

jiaio) nog ut vi ti/u vmj ktj uva vav vi v?a ^
of the Sumter firemen. The twp- !
story frame residence of Principal A. ;
U. Frierson, Kendal institute, colored,
on south Harvin street, was ,
burned; loss about $2,000.
The chapel, dormitory and main !
school buildings, in very close proximity,
were in serious danger for1 A 1
long time. The chapel caught a
number of times, but was saved final- ;
ly with all other buildings after the
hardest fight under great difficulties.
To add to the danger, a pile of
lightwood, about 75 cords, caught
fire in the rear of the main building '
and for a long time it looked as if
the fire would destroy all of the
buildings. Delay in getting water on 1
the fire, owing to the distance from
the nearest hydrant, caused a valuable
loss of time at a very critical
moment, but the work of the firemen '
saved the day. The total loss is ;
about $4,000. Frierson saved most
of his household goods. The fire is
now under control.
PICKENS NEGRO TO HANG.
Haas Butler Found Guilty of Attempted
Criminal Assault.
Pickens, June 8.?The morning
session of the court was taken up
with the trial of the State against
Haas Butler, colored, charged with
criminal assault. The court appointed
W. E. Fendley to represent the
prisoner. The lady upon whom the
assault was made is the daughter of
one of the best citizens of Pickens
oi
UUUUty. out; is jcais ui age auu
told the story of the assault in a
cool and deliberate manner in open
court.
The summary of the testimony is
that on the night of April 28, about
11 o'clock, the lady was waked up
by Haas Butler. The girl resisted
the attack and the brute was frightened
away, escaping by the window
through which he entered. Details
of the crime were brought out in testimony
not necessary to be recited.
The moon was shining brightly
and she recognized him with his blue
shirt on. Butler works on her father's
farm and she saw him nearly
every day. The lady positively identified
him in court.
Reliable citizens heard Butler's
wife say to him on the night after the
arrest: "I told you not to go up
there." Butler said, "Shut your
mouth." Butler came and went from
the lady's house in his stocking feet.
He was tracked to and from the
house. His socks were produced in
court and sworn to by reliable citizens.
Arthur Bray, colored, was a star
witness for the State. He swore that
Butler told him what he was going
to do with the girl. No defense was
offered. The jury remained out about
three-quarters of an hour and found
a verdict of guilty, which means a
death sentence. Judge Dantzler sentenced
the prisoner to be hanged on
Friday, July 23.
Bamberg to Greenville.
Leaving the town of Bamberg at 6
o'clock Sunday morning and arriving
in the city of Greenville early yesterday
morning was the record made by
a Ford runabout by Messrs. Jerald
Quattlebaum and Vernon Brabham i
of Bamberg. The route taken was j
something in the neighborhood o.
200 miles, coming via Greenwood to
this city. One of the gentlemen
stated to the reporter that the trip
was a delightful one in every respect
excepting a few bad stretches of
road, one between Bamberg and
Greenwood and another on the route
between Greenwood and the city of
Greenville.
The flying journey was minus a

main front spring gave way while
riding over the rough places on the
city's main thoroughfares. This,
however, did not stop the machine
from running on into the city to a
garage shop. Only ten gallons of
gasolene were used in making the
trip.?Greenville News.
Dispensary Investigation.
The dispensary investigation in
Columbia is getting interesting, and
it seems that the attorneys and the
commission are going to get results.
The sensational affidavit of
C. W. Dudley is published in another
column, and the testimony of H. A.
Curiel, head of the New York and
Kentucky Co., before the commission
on Tuesday is decidedly interesting.
Mr. Curiel testified that he
paid commissions to James Farnum
and Briggs Wilson, this money being
paid to them as commissions on
whiskey sold to the State dispensary.
Mr. Curiel stated that Farnum
seemed to have great influence with
the board of directors and had kept
his firm's account from being paid.
It seems likely that former members
of the board are going to be put to
some trouble at least.
