AH are invited. It would be well for everybody to read the new liquor law published in last week's and the week before issues of The Herald, as the provisions are very drastic. It seems from this law that whiskey cannot be kept in the home for personal use. Mr. G. W. Dukes, of the Midway section, brought us in a stalk of sugar cane last Saturday which had fifteen well matured joints. Mr. Dukes says he was induced to bring it in by noticing in The Herald where a gentleman .of the Ehrhardt section had some fine cane, and he thought he could beat him. A traveling baseball team calling themselves the Cherokee Indians played a game in Bamberg last Friday afternoon, beating our boys by a I score of eight to two. A game at night was to be played, but was called off on account of rain. A large 8gg& crowd witnessed the game, people being present from all over the county. Messrs Knopff and O'Neal have secured the sub-contract, from the BrJ Pauley jail building company, to do pir: the brick and all the construction work, except the steel work, in the hjBarnwell jail.

Mr. Ritter finds that his large farm- 1 ing interests require his undivided j attention, and therefore he reluc- 1 tantly gives up his profession. We i were hoping that since his marriage J he would build a residence here and i become a permanent citizen of Bam' berg, and we regret to have him leave. Death of Mrs. Griffith. ] V: Mrs. Lula Griffith, wife of Mr. Jufe;; lius Griffith, died at their home on 1 pi, the Charleston and Augusta road, !

She leaves a husband and eleven children, as well as numerous relatives. Mrs. Griffith had been a member of the Methodist church for many years, and was a good woman and consistent Chrhistian. ? Knights of Pythias. Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythias met in regular convention last Monday evening. The rank of Page \ as conferred on Mr. B. D. Carter. Delegates to the district lodge, which meets at Barnwell Tuesday, August 24th, were elected, as follows: E. F. Free, J. B. Black, and R. F. McMillan. Alternates: H. N. , Bellinger, E. H. Henderson, and L. , H. Folk. Barnwell invites every Knight, whether a delegate or not, to attend. The matter of a reading room was discussed, as the lodge now has a magnificent room which could be used for this purpose. As the lodge did not feel able just at this time to buy books, magazines, etc., it was suggested that each member bring to the reading room magazines or periodicals which he had finished reading and exchange them for others, and in this way circulate the reading matter around, which is a capital suggestion.

Last Monday morning about five o'clock the residence occupied by Mr. W. H. Battley, linotype operator at The Bamberg Herald office, and owned by Mr. J. Felder Hunter, was destroyed by fire'. The family of Mr. Battley is away, and he had gotten up early and had a little fire in the kitchen stove, so it is supposed the fire must have originated from the stove flue. Mr. Battley came on down town to go to work, and soon after eettine here the alarm of fire was given. The flames spread rapidly, and but little of the furniture and household goods were saved, one room being all that could be entered, the house being so near burned down. Mr. Hunter had insurance of $1,000 on the house, while Mr. Battley carried insurance on his furniture amounting to $250.00. His loss is considerable, and the insurance will not near cover it. Gets Ninety Days. Last Friday night Ben Black, a negro who keeps a little shop on Main street, was arrested by Policeman C. C. Rowell. Black was standing in a crowd of negroes behind the depot at train time when the eight o'clock train arrived, and Mr. Rowell heard him say that a negro had no rights in Bamberg, and the only thing to do was to kill some of these smart officers or burn out the town, using oaths. His talk was occasioned by the fact that, acting under orders from the mayor, Policeman Rowell has been keeping negroes and others who had no business there, away from the trains, in order that passengers could get on and off, conditions on the arrival of trains having become intolerable, as the negroes would crowd the narrow space between the depot and the track. As soon as the train left Mr. Rowell went down to Black's shop and arrested him. He attempted to resist, and Mr. Rowell gave him two taps with his club which quieted him. Then J. A. Nimmons, the colored barber, went on his bond, but as soon as he found out the charge against Black, he came off the bond, so Black was rearrested and placed in the guard house. He was tried J -rx i J? r T oacuraay aiiernoou ueiure xuayur j. A.. Wyman and found guilty on three counts: Cursing at the depot Friday night, resisting an officer, and cursing at the depot one night last fall, this fact having come out after his arrest. Last fall he stated with an oath that after Taft's election negroes would get on juries, and he wanted to get on and hang some white man, as white men had been convicting negroes. This was heard by a white man and testified to Saturday afternoon. The maximum fine and imprisonment was put on in each case: $100 or thirty days, making a total of $300 or ninety days. Black took the days, and was sent to the chain gang late Saturday afternoon. This negro has long been regarded as an impudent fellow by the white people of Bamberg, and he bears anything but a good reputation. He will no doubt learn some sense while serving his sentence. Prohibition Speech. Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Georgia, delivered an address in the court bouse here last Thursday on the subject of prohibition. The speaking commenced about twelve o'clock, and for about an hour Mr. Wright A. A - J 1 - ^11 I. - enieriamea ms nearers, an ui wuuui seemed to enjoy his remarks, he being frequently interrupted by hearty applause. The meeting was presided over by Mayor J. Aldrich Wyman, Esq., who called on Rev. O. J. Frier to offer prayer. ~ Afterwards J. F. Carter, Esq., made some announcements in reference to the law and order league, of which he is president. Mr. Wyman then gracefully and in well chosen language introduced Mr. Wright. A synopsis of the speech cannot be attempted for lack of space, but it was a good prohibition speech, so say those who heard it. A large crowd was present to hear the distinguished speaker, people being here from all sections of the county. Headmaster Elected. Mr. Wm. Hopkins, of Visage, Ga., has been elected and accepted the postion of Headmaster of the CarIiVIq Viftinor Qphnnl in iliic r>itv Mr liOXV/ A AVViU^ N/VUW* AM v? W^- *fA* Hopkins is originally from Kentucky, but married in Georgia and has been living there for several years. He is an enthusiastic organizer and teacher, and he writes that he feels sure he will enjoy the work in Bamberg and that he can make the school a success. He and his wife will arrive in Bamberg tomorrow (Friday) and he will at once make all arrangements for the opening of the fall session. We have not the names of the other members of the faculty, but the school will open on time with a strong corps of teachers. The outlook is brighter than in years, and everybody in Bamberg is interested in the success of the institution. Some Whiskey Figures. Editor The Bamberg Herald: Here are some figures which were taken before the prohibition wave ^ which is sweeping over the South. It is said the saloon is going now at a rate of over twenty a day. Therp are in the United States one hundred and forty thousand licensed saloons and dispensaries. If formed into a street with saloons on each side, allowing twenty feet to each saloon, they would make a street two hundred and sixty miles long. Let us imagine them brought together into > such a street and let us suppose that the moderate drinker and their families are marching into it at the upper end and let us see what that street turns out in one year. What army is that which comes marching down the street in solid column five abreast, extending 570 miles? It is the army of four million men and women who daily go to saloons for intoxicating drinks as a beverage. Marching twenty miles a day it will take them more than 28 days to go by. Now they are gone and close behind comes another army marching four abreast and 60 miles in length. In it there are 530,000 confirmed drunkards. They are men who have lost control of their appetites, who are in the regular habit of getting drunk and mak ing beasts of tnemseives. Marching two abreast the army is ' 150 miles long. Scan them closely, if you please. There are gray-haired men and fair headed boys. It takes them seven days to go by. It is a sad and sickening sight, but do not turn away yet, for here comes another army?100,000 criminals whose hands are besmeared with human blood. Some are on the way to the gallows, others are going to prison for life. Every crime known to our laws has been committed by those persons while under the influence of whiskey. But what gloom is this that pervades the air and what is that long line of black coming slowly down the street. It is a line of funeral processions. One hundred thousand who have died the drunkard's death are being carried to their graves. Drunkards do not have many friends to mourn their loss and we can put thirty of the funeral processions into a mile. We have thus a procession of 3,333 miles in length. It will take a good share of the year for them to go by. Look into the coffins as they go by. See the dead drunkard. Some died of delirium tremens, ana tne lines or terror are still plainly marked on their faces. Some froze to death by the road side, too drunk to reach their homes. They died in various ways, but strong drink killed them all. But here comes another army. The children, innocent ones, on whom have been visited the iniquities of their fathers. How many are there? Two hundred thousand marching two abreast. They extend up the street thirty miles. Each one must bear through life the stigma of being a drunkard's child. They are reduced to poverty and want; they live in ignorance and vice, and, worse than all the rest, many of them inherited a love for whiskey and are growing up to take the places and do the deeds of their fathers. They will fill the ranks of that awful army of drunkards that move in unbroken columns down to death. It has taken nearly a year for the street to empty itself of its year's work, and close in the rear r?r?mPH thp vanciiarfls nf thp next year's supply, and if that is what whiskey does in one year, what must be the result in all the world, through the long centuries? Now, you have the figures that you have heard so much about, but they give only the outlines of the terrible tragedy that is going on around us. They cannot picture to as the wretched squalor of a drunkard's home. Figures cannot tell how many heavy blows have fallen from the husband's hand upon those whom it is his duty to love and cherish and protect. Figures cannot tell how many mother's hearts have broken with grief as they saw a darling son becoming a drunkard, and finally .we cannot search the records of the other world and tell how many souls have been shut out from that holy place where nov- drunkards enter and banished to the region of eternal despair by the demon of drink. Then what man, what woman, what child would not vote to have that whole street, with its awful tra c in the infernal stuff, sunk to the lowest depths of perdition and covered ten thousand fathoms deep under the curses of the universe. P. Branchville, S. C., Route No. 2. Express Agent Short. Union, S. C., August 9.?J. E. Morris, railway and express agent at Santuc, was arrested to-day at that n1or?P nnri lnrte'pri in iail hprp nhare1 ed with shortage in his account. The Southern Express Company had him arrested. His bond is fixed at one thousand dollars. Morris admits that he is short $108.00, which he says he lost a few nights ago while returning from Union to Santuc on foot. He says he is charged with another shortage of $72, for which he has the voucher on file in the Santuc office. The auditor for the express company is checking up the Santuc office and as yet it is not fcnown just how the matter will show up. Morris says he can get the money from home tc^make good. His parents live at Mont Vale, Va. Dr. Mell to Remain. Anderson, August 10.?The board of trustees of Clemson college will meet in special session Thursday to( dispose of the resignation of Presi- j . dent P. H. Mell. This resignation was submitted because the rules governing the coli lege are not clear enough in defining the duties of the commandant of ( cadets to prevent the commandant forming an opinion that he is higher in authority than the president. ' A committee of trustees has wait-. . ed on Dr. Mell and has under con sideration a revision of the rules as . suggested by him. t It is understood that the rules will be changed and that Dr. Mell will be asked to withdraw his resignation.

Gaffney, August 7.?Mary Manning, a respectable colored woman, |was shot and killed this afternoon; at 5:30 by Jack Edwards at her home in Gaffney. The woman lived only 20 minutes after being shot. Edwards, who is in jail, is a railroad neero of unsavory reputation, who has lived here for several years. Edwards claims that the shooting was accidental and occurred while * he was tampering with the pistol, which he claims he thought was unloaded. The mother of the dead woman says that she heard Edwards and her daughter quarreling last Saturday afternoon and that he threatened to kill her. A respectable white man of the city says that Edwards told him that Mary Manning had stole a sum of money from him and that he intended to kill her. Edwards was a fugitive from justice for several years, having been charged with the murderous assault upon a white man named Lawson Wylie, but was never arrested for this offense, as Wylie was not seriously injured. Xegro Shot at Denmark Dies. John Wilson, a negro about 27 years of age, died at the Lamar hospital Monday as the result of gunshot wounds received in Denmark, S. C. Wilson was brought to the hospital Monday morning from Denmark. He had been shot twice in the back by a negro named Stroman. The affair is of old standing. Wilson was shot by the same negro two years ago and left Denmark. He returned a few days ago to pay a visit and while there he was shot by Stroman.?Augusta Herald. ' I The Unprofitable Liquor Law. I have decided convictions on the moral aspect of the liquor traffic, but i would leave that phase of the "un-l exalted" business for my venerable I friend, Mr. Burton, to discuss, as hej is well able to do. But if you will! permit me to speak through your columns to the citizens of this county, I would like to give them a few facts and figures on the economic side of the question. In The State of a few days ago City Treasurer Cooper is credited with saying that it will increase taxes about 33 per cent, to vote the dispensary out of this county. It! may increase direct or ad valorem j taxes some, but we prohibitionists contend that it will greatly decrease indirect taxes. Look at the figures for last year. Richland county spent for liquor through the dispensaries (I don't know how much through the tigers) over $500,000 at a profit of $131,000. Now, from a purely business standpoint, does that pay? To put about 27 cents into the treasury somebody must use one dollar's worth of the purely chemical. I am sure it would be much better business to pay the 27 cents direct taxes and put the other 73 cents into the necessaries of life to increase the comfort and happiness of those dependent upon us. If I had to give my cow one dollar's worth of food to get 27 cents worth of milk, would it pay to keep her? Yet that is just what we are doing with this dispensary cow that gives chemicals instead of milk. (See proceedings of dispensary winding up commission.) But some one may say, "Yes, the cow is expensive, but we must keep her to keep down the tigers?they'd eat us up without her." Now, would they? Blind tigers are not willing to risk getting into the unyielding grip of old Uncle Sam, so most of them get a revenue license from him before they begin regularly breaking the State liquor laws, and an examination of the records in the office of the internal revenue collector reveals the surprising fact that there are many more tigers in the dispensary counties than in the prohibition counties?561 to 115. According to the last census (1900) the aggregate population of the 21 dry counties was about the same as that of the 21 wet counties, and yet for the fiscal year just ended there were 561 tigers in dispensary counties to only 115 in prohibition counties. Don't that look like the cow feeds the tigers instead of destroying them? Take the record in detail a little more ana compare wet and dry counties of about the same population. Dispensary Aiken has 23 tigers, while dry York has only 10; wet Barnwell (35,504 population) has 15 tigers while dry Marion (35,181 population) has only three; wet Florence (28,474 population) has nine tigers while her dry neighbor, Marlboro (27,639 population), has ??+ w/4* DlnVilond Vioa QQ flcorc UUL VUU | n Ct AI>lVUiauu uutj v v vaq va w while dry Greenville (with 8,000 greater population) has only 16, and dry Spartanburg (with 20,000 more population than Richland) has only 20 tigers. These figures ought to convince any reasonable man that the dispensary "don't prohibit," and as a business man I am for killing the unprofitable cow. Unlike the fabled cow that led Cadmus to fame and fortune, she is leading our people into degradation, pollution, and ruin, is as a cankerous sore on the body politic, so I say let's knock her in the hes.d. It may cost us a little more direct taxes, but we will have more to pay with, for all of our merchants will have more customers and better paying customers and all of our industries will have more to nourish them when we keep the hundreds and thousands of dollars at home that we are now sending out of the State for the purely chemical.?E.

Gaffney, August 7.?Magistrate Phillips was engaged to-day in the : V , trial of a case which has excited - -J" J much local interest although the amount involved is not large. The suit was brought by Mrs. A. E. v White against Mills Bailey for claim * and delivery of a certain hog which <, Bailey was fattening on what they call the halves. She alleges that the hog was to be returned to her at a certain time, and Bailey. claims that he made the trade with her husband, J. T. White, that Mrs. White had nothing to do with the trade, and \ that he was to keep the hog until it was ready to slaughter and then divide the pork with White. After hearing the testimony the attorneys, fdoubtless to the relief of the magistrate, announced that Jthey would submit the case without argument, and the case was decided in favor of the defendant, from which decision * there will doubtless be an appeal, as neither party to the suit is inclined to let the matter rest until all legal remedies have been exhausted. # Raiding in Charleston. Charleston, Aug. 7.?The constables did a good day's work in seizures to-day, confiscating more than three barrels of export beer and a quantity of whiskey. The 'seizures of beer as usual largely predominated. The raiding squad of the police department also made a - few hauls. While the activity of the raiding of- * fleers has been more pronounced during the past few days, with thev advent of so-called prohibition, Charleston is far from being dry. SHERIFF'S SALE.
