^,;v The license tax is a good thing, for
it not only raises revenue in a way
which is not a burden, but it furnishes
protection to the dealers here
as well. Every town that we know

won the first two, but St. Matthews
took the last one. The games were
well attended and well worth seeing.
The St. Matthews boys are a gentle I*:;

The town council of Bamberg i
wishes to make plain one phase of the 1
business license tax, concerning i
which the public seems to have a '
misconception. We wish it dis- <
tinctlv understood that no tax has 1
been levied or will be levied upon 1
the produce of the farms, and the i
farmers are invited and urged to i
bring their produce to Bamberg, <
where they will find a ready market
for it, and good prices will be paid, <
without one cent of cost to the farm- 1
ers.
Attention is again directed, by re- }
quest of the town authorities, to the '
ordinance recently passed directing (
the removal of soil or refuse from 1
the premises of private parties. Mr. 1
A. M. Brabham has the contract to
operate a sanitary cart, and all citi- i
sens are urged to see Mr. Brabham <
at once and make arrangements to 1
have their premises kept clean, and ]
thereby avoid the penalty which will i
attach for unsanitary premises. Coun- 1
cil is determined that the town shall
be kept clean, and they must have the J
co-operation of every citizen. 1

ORDERS HIS OWN EXECUTION. '
????
Wounded Officer Slain by Subordi- 1
nate to Escape Torture from Moors.
Madrid, July 30.?The death of
Lieut. Col. Hanezmarin on July 23,
in an engagement around Melilla,
was most dramatic. The Spanish
regiment was decimated. Hanezmarin
was wounded, and he ordered
a sergeant to finish him, in order to j
prevent his falling into the hands of
the Moors to be tortured. The sergeant
obeyed the order. He closed
his eyes and sent a bullet into his
colonel's heart.
Estimates of the Spanish losses
have been raised to 400 killed and
wounded. The mountain passes are
filled with the bodies of Moors, over
which the jackals and birds of prey
fight. According to advices received
here, the tribesmen are armed with
rifles of the latest pattern, and have
plenty of ammunition, indicating
that a huge contraband trade has
been going on.

Berry-Miller. 1
Last Wednesday, July 2Sth, at the j
home of Capt. A. P. Miller, we had (
the pleasure of witnessing a very ,
pretty marriage, that of Mr. A. W. !
Berry, of Franklinton, N. C., to Miss ,
Waddell Miller, of Bamberg, S. C., .
Rev. W. S. Simpson officiating. ^
The bride, a very charming and .
pretty young lady, beautifully dress- .
ed in a white princess, came out on ,
the arm of the groom as "Hearts and j
Flowers" was rendered by the bride's c
3ister, Mrs. B. S. Cogburn. The four j
attendants preceding them were: ,
Mr. Apollos Sandifer with Miss Ruby <
Sandifer; Mr. James Sandifer with !
Miss Daisy Ellzey.
A feature of the day not to be ,
overlooked was a picnic given by the
relatives and friends of the bride and
groom in the grove. A large table
was bountifully supplied with all
sorts of good eatables and other refreshments
that were served after
dinner, which were enjoyed by all <
present. Shortly afterwards the i
bridal party left for Tybee and other <
points, after which they will be at S
home at Franklinton, N. C. <
Miss Miller was a very popular 1
and amiable young lady, who will be t
missed by her numerous relatives and
friends of the surrounding country.
Mr. Berry is well known in this county
as a gentleman of the highest
quality and integrity. We wish them
a long, happy and prosperous life.

Married in Williston.
Miss Ida Livingston, eldest daughter
of Mrs. L. E. Livingston, of this
city, and Mr. Schwartz were married
at Williston Monday evening of
this week. The marriage was scheduled
to take place a little later, but
the groom, who is a traveling man,
had a chance to take a vacation, and ,
he came to Bamberg and insisted on
taking his bride away with him. Rev. ]
T. G. Herbert being out of town and .
Mr. Schwartz having business at Wil- '
liston, they went up to that town on ]
the evening train and were mar- (
ried.
The bride has been popular in
Bamberg's social circle, and the
groom is well-known here, having ,
visited the town as a traveling sales- '
man for a number of years. He rep- .
resents a Richmond dry goods house.
Their friends extend congratulations
and good wishes.

Case Compromised.
Two young cotton mill operatives j
named Wilkerson and W. B. Reynolds
went over to Orangeburg last <
Saturday to witness a game of base (
ball between the teams of the mill i
here and at Orangeburg. They hired x
a horse anji buggy from the livery ,
stable of J. R. Kinard & Co., and
they arrived at home Sunday morn- i
ing. The horse was in such condition
that he died late that afternoon, j
and it was charged that his death
was due to hard driving. A warrant
was sworn out for the young men,
and they were taken in charge Monday
morning, but the case was compromised
by their paying $75 for the
animal.
Law and Order League Organized.
In view of the prohibition period
aow in force and of the approaching
slection on the dispensary question,
a largely attended meeting of the
leading citizens of Bamberg was held
in the court house Monday afternoon
of this week for the purpose
af organizing a law and order league
for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition
law. Dr. Geo. F. Hair was
made temporary chairman of the
meeting, and the following were
sleeted as permanent officers:
J. F. Carter, president; J. A. Huntsr,
vice-president; R. C. Jones, secretary.
A committee on constitution and
by-laws was elected as follows: Geo.
F. Hair, J. F. Carter, and H. M. <
Graham. The committee on mem- j
bership consists of J. T.% O'Neal, Jno. j
F. Folk, and Geo. F. Hair.
Quite a large membership was en- t
rolled, and the meeting was a most j
enthusiastic one. Our people are de- (
termined that no liquor shall be sold
illegally in Bamberg, and it is the (
intention of the organization to make
the membership as large as possible.
Immediately after the prohibition
meeting here to-day (Thursday) an
effort will be made to organize
leagues throughout the county, and
also to organize a county league. The
move is a good one, and we are glad
to see that our people are waking up
on this question.
Byrnes Making Good.
A citizen of Aiken has received the
following letter from a prominent
business man in Barnwell, which
shows how Solicitor Byrnes is re
garded in that county. Among other 1
things he says:,
"You have no doubt been observing
with some small degree of envy
that Barnwell county is doing things
in the way of convicting white men.
Murder with recommendation to
mercy is better than what we usually
get, but it is hard to understand the
justification for the recommendation.
Byrnes still continues to cover himself
with glory, and his argument in
the first Kennedy trial was by far
the best speech I ever heard in the
court house, and I've heard all worth
while for the past fifteen years."?

Our pastor reports two pleasant
lays with Pastor Simpson and the
Bethesda church the first of last
veek, and one profession. Very short
protracted meeting.
He preached here Sunday morning
>n the Christian's attitude toward
3vil and how to overcome it. Two
wrongs never make a right; so evil
must be overcome with good, the op
posite element.
There was no preaching at the
Methodist church Sunday night, so
sve were glad to have Bro. Herbert's
people worship with us.
Bro. J. F. Carter was received into
:he church by letter Sunday mornng
The church has granted the pas;or
a month's vacation when he desires
to take it. He is figuring on
ibout two week's vacation latter part
>f the month, if he can make suitable
irrangements.
The pastor announced Sunday that
>n next Sunday night he would discuss
Dr. Howard Jones's recent sernon
in Charleston on the dispen- 3
lary issue, as it was delivered from a
baptist pulpit and published through 1
:he daily papers in this community. '
3e is going to do this because Dr. ,
rones is clearly misused and misap)lied,
and because his position is in
ts truest analysis unscriptural and ilogical.
We will see if the daily pa>ers
that aired his sermon so, will be
'air enough to their readers to give
;he other side.
