SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
^ IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, August 17.?Hot and
sultry is the weather we are having.
~ Too hot to pull fodder and too showery
to cure same. What are the
farmers to do?
Our town is making some improvements
on Broadway. Claying the
driveway, and cementing the sidewalks.
The trustees are going to work to
build an addition to their school
building, 25 feet by 50, feet. They
4 are also working for a high school.
Let the good work go on, as an education
is the best accomplishment
that can be given to children. There
s are a few around here that cannot
see it in the true light, and will not
put their shoulders to the wheel, to
help roll the wheel onward.
Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt lost her old
* pet last week. Old Fannie cow
was given to her twenty-three years
ago by her father, is why she prized
v the cow so much.
-
Conrad Ehrhardt Co. are overhauling
their large engine before the gin*
ning season commences. They could
have done the work in their shops,
but this engine drives their lathes
and planes.
Ipy '
y Some few farmers are talking
about having out a bale or two of
cotton this week if the weather will
be in shape for picking.
VThe
prohibition speeches last week
f were as well attended as could be expected
with the announcement given
out. It is thought that the speeches
did some good. Drinking whiskeyis
an evil that all good citizens should
r take an interest in stopping as much
as they can. So many of our young
men show the evil in their morals,
whether they get drunk or not. It is
a lamentable fact that the moral
y standing of our young men is decreasing
very rapidly, and something
must be done to aid them to heighten
,the moral standing of our young men
y and women. Whiskey and cigarettes '
have a whole lot to do with this. 1
Neither should be allowed to the free <
* use of the young. ]
]
Trade for cash was noticeably betg
ter with all our merchants last week 1
. : than when the dispensary was open '<
and selling booze. ]
,h
Charlie Thomas has moved to the
C,? Conrad Ehrhardt Co., and will be 1
k pleased to serve his many friends <
* with goods as cheap as can be sold, i
to guarantee good goods from their (
large and varied stock.
r
j Mrs. John Hartz left Saturday aft- i
ernoon to visit her parents in Geor- <
% gia. ,
. '
There is a certain young man in (
f~! town who wants to know why all the
jokes fall on him. It does seem
f strange, but its practically so, however.
Mr. J. H. A. Carter says times are t
* on the mend with him, peas and po- 1
tatoes are in with him. He brought 1
a 2% pound sweet potato to town to 1
i show that he had them. JEE. ?

Allendale News.
Allendale, August 15.?Farming
interests in this vicinity are showing
up pretty well this season. The cotton
crop is conservatively estimated
at 80 per cent, of a full crop. The
cotton plant has made good strides
in the past ten days. Much fodder is
being saved this week. The corn
crop will turn out a good deal more
than the average year's production;
potato and cane .crops are generally
fine and lots of peas are being raised.
The prospect for a good hay crop is
fair.
Affairs of the Allendale Cotton Oil
and Fertilizer Company are being
rapidly put in shape. This concern
is capitalized at $60,000, half of the
stock being owned' by the former
owners of the Seaboard Cotton Oil
Company and, half by Allendale people.
The management will be entirely
composed of Allendale people. J.
L. Oswald is president and J. P. Gray
vice president. The new manager is
Mr. Minor, a mill man of several
years' experience. The assistant manager
is Mr. J. O'H. Sanders, formerly
of Beaufort. At present the entire
mill property is undergoing thorough
repairs. The ginning department will
be ready for business by August 20,
and the oil department will commence
operations by September 15.

aew concern, will open a large stock
:>f general merchandise on Gilldare

SUPERVISORS FOR CENSUS.
Three Democrats and One Republican
Named in South Carolina.
The first announcement of census
appointments for South Carolina,
made this morning, created a great
deal of interest, as they indicate the
policy of the administration. The appointment
of supervisor for this, the
seventn congressional aisinci, nas
not been made.
In the first district the supervisor
is named Mr. William J. Storen, of
Charleston, a prominent and successful
business man and Democrat.
In the second district the appointee
is Mr. George Waterhouse, of
Beaufort, also a Democrat and prominent
in business affairs. His father
was a New Englander, and a national
Republican, but a local Democrat.
In the third district the supervisor
named is Mr. W. Walker Russell, a
Republican of long standing, who
was former postmaster at Anderson.
Mr. Anderson's brother, Mr. D. H.
Russell, a Democrat, was an applicant
for the place also. Mr. Russell
made an efficient postmaster and is
a competent man, belonging to a
well-known and highly respected
family.
In the fifth district the appointee
is Dr. Robert Leroy Douglas, of Chester
county, a Democrat, who was
backed by Congressman Finley,
against Representative John Porter
Hollis, of Rock Hill, who was at
Johns Hopkins with Mr. Durand, the
Hireetnr nf the nensns. Congressman
Finley seems to have won out over
"Mr. Durand in this appointment, as
it has been stated that Mr. Durand
was backing his college friend.
The appointments for the fourth,
sixth and seventh districts have not
been announced.
There are a number of applicants
in this district, among them being
Alderman E. M. Dupre and Rev. H.
A. Whitman, of Columbia, both Democrats,
and Mr. Reardon, Sr., of Sumter,
a Republican, and Mr. Leaphart,
of Lexington, who has never been active
in politics, and whose brother is
postmaster at Lexington, under the
Republican administration. It is reported
that the selection is between
Messrs. Dupre and Leaphart.?Columbia

Remarkable Operation fSr Tumor.
Isabelle Norris, of Reidville, leaves
the Spartanburg city hospital to-day
a well woman. About three weeks
ago a wonderful operation was performed
upon her. A large fiberoid
tumor, weighing between thirty-five
and forty pounds, was taken from
her. Within this tumor was a fivemonths-old
baby, which was delivered
through the abdomen, the method
by which Julius Caesar made advent
into the world. This operation is a
singular one.
Possibly there has never been one
just like it in the United States. The
tumor involved all the generative organs.
In certain respects it surpasses
the famous Caesarian section.?Spartanburg

Insane Man Commits Suicide.
Emmanuel Boiana, an mmaie or
the State hospital for the insane,
from Aiken county, committed suicide
last Monday. The unfortunate
man was suffering from suicidal melancholia
and had been carefully
watched ever since he entered the
asylum. Monday Boland seized his
chance, climbed the lattice of the veranda
to the third story, and either
let go his hold, or jumped backward
from this height to the ground. He
died almost immediately from concussion
of the brain.
Last spring when Boland was being
brought to the asylum on the
train, he borrowed a knife from his
guard, apparently to pare his nails.
Instead of doing this he plunged the
knife into his throat and arrived
there in a desperate condition. He
recovered from this self-inflicted in

Letter from Georgia.
Odum, Ga., August 16, 1909.
Editor The Bamberg Herald?Dear
Sir: I am a subscriber to your valuable
paper. Could not do without it,
for the old State of South Carolina
is my native home. While there have
been so many changes since I left
there, I have a good many friends
and relatives in your town and county.
I read so many nice letters in
your paper. I will renew my subscription
shortly. I live in South
Georgia; am a farmer. Crops are
good here. Well, if this escapes the
waste basket, I will write you again.
CHARLEY C. FIELDS.
Heavy Storm in Charleston.
Charleston, August 16.?Charleston
was visited this afternoon by a
severe thunderstorm accompanied by
a high wind and a heavy rain. The
wind reached a maximum velocity of
48 miles, blowing at this rate for
five minutes. The operation of the
cars and machinery at many establishments,
including the postoffice,
using electric motors, was suspended
for a time or permanently by damages
by lightning. The wind did not
do any appreciable damage except to
scare some timid people.
Cook Sues for $100,000.
New York, August 16.?Ernest W.
Smellie, New York manager for a
glove manufacturing firm, has been
sued for $100,000 by Emily Jones,
his cook, because, it is charged, that
he threw a cat through a window
screen. His small daughter had
complained that the cat scratched
her. The cook says her eyes were
filled with a shower of particles of
rusty iron wire as the cat forcibly
disappeared and she estimates the
damage to her sight and her lessened
chances of matrimony at $100,000.
NEGRO COMMITS MIRDER.
???? ]
AND IS DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED
WHILE BEING CAPTURED.
Says a Woman Told Him to Kill Wat- (
son, and Procured the Cartridges j
With Which to do the Killing. )
Last Sunday night a week ago a ,
negro named Henry Felder, alias
Mann Stroman, shot a negro named l
John Watson on the plantation of j
Mrs. M. E. Bamberg, a few miles ,
from town. Watson was shot in the
back, and was carried to a hospital in '
Augusta, where he died a few days 1
later. 1
, Felder made his escape for the <
time being, but remained in the vi- 1
cinity where the killing occurred, 1
until last week when a number of
the law-abiding negroes of that sec- j
tion came to Sheriff Hunter and asked
that they be deputized to capture
Felder, which the sheriff agreed to. 1
Thursday night they attempted to (
capture Felder, but he showed fight, !
and with a pistol fired a number of ]
shots at the crowd who were attempt- '
ing to arrest him. They returned the
fire with guns and pistols, but Felder
eluded them in the darkness and got 1
? T'U /N fVvAn TT*l^V? + fVi/i I
a v> a>. iuu tiUTYU tu^u bv vuv
chain gang, which was in camp near :
by, and asked for the dogs to trail j
Felder. Foreman Kirkland was sick I
and could not go, but he allowed 1
some of the trusties on the gang to
go and take charge of the dogs. A 1
trail was at once struck, and soon 1
Felder was located, but again he
opened fire on the crowd, which was (
returned. (
However, the would-be captors of ]
Felder did not care to get into close '
quarters with him, so they went to '
Mr. H. W. Adams's house and asked 1
him to 'phone to Bamberg for some
white men to come and get Felder,
as they had him surrounded. Deputy ^
Sheriff Wilson and others at once
went out and got the negro, whom
they found to be dangerously wounded,
his wounds having been inflicted i
by the men who were attempting his 1
capture during the firing. Felder i
was plentifully sprinkled with small <
shot in the neck and shoulders, and 1
there was a bullet wound just above t
the heart and one in the ear. He had 1
lost much blood, and at one time it *
looked as if he would die, but he is
now in jail under treatment and is i
getting better, and no doubt will live s
to be hanged for the murder of Wat- i
son. c
He has confessed to the killing of t
Watson, and says he was instigated *
by a negro woman named Betsey i
Bull, who has also been arrested and c
lodged in jail, charged with being
accessory to the crime. It seems that s
Watson had been living with the wo- c
man, but went off some time ago, and r
when he returned Felder was living s
with the woman or at least was "her c
man," so, although Watson made no c
attempt to resume his former rela- P
tions with her, she told Felder she a
wanted Watson out of the way and *
got the cartridges for him to do the P
killing. She then sent Watson word t
to come to her house, and he went
and found there the woman and Fel? ?
der. Another negro was with Wat- 1
son, and as they were leaving, with- ^
out any quarrel, Watson was shot by ^
Felder three times from the rear, two a
bullets taking effect, one in the back v
and one in the leg. The negro who
was with Watson then put him in the 13
buggy and carried him to his step- *
father's < house near Capernaum ^
church, from where he was carried to ^
Augusta and died as above stated. 11
r rom * eider s comession, tnere is *
little doubt but it was a case of mur- ^
der, as he states, so we have been In- *
formed, that there was no quarrel *
and he had no grudge against Wat- s
son. That he only killed him be- 13
cause the woman wanted it done.
Fall from Bicycle Causes Death. ?
Marion, August 16.?DeWitt Wiggins,
a son of Mr. H. H. Wiggins, accidentally
fell from his bicycle on ,
Main street last night, and several _
hours later died from the effects of
the fall. The young man was riding ^
down Main street near the pavement c
when the chain of the bicycle broke, t
thus throwing him violently against t
the pavement. Though his head j.
struck the pavement with considerable
force, he was not unconscious E
for some time, and it was thought he d
was not seriously hurt. A little later, ^
however, his condition became more
alarming, and medical aid was at
once summoned. Everything possible D
was done for the young man, but he
died at about 12 o'clock. The immediate
cause of death was a ruptured ^
blood vessel in the head. t
Mail Held Up. 0
Spartanburg, August 14.?As the k
mail wagon was returning from de- u
pot shortly after midnight last ?
night from No. 43 it was held up by n
an unknown negro at the corner of n
Cleveland Law Range. *
The would-be robber demanded of -y
the driver if he had any money. The s
driver, who is a colored lad of about s;
18, told him that he had none, and $
the man slunk back into the shadows,
The driver of the mail wagon lost a
no time in reporting the matter to
the police, and a detail of four offl- *
cerg were rushed to the Law Range e
corner. si
Up to 2 o'clock this morning the d
officers had not found the man. The 8'
q
driver said that the place he was held ^
up at was so dark he could not see a
whether the man carried a gun or **
not. He said as he drew away he no- h
ticed a deep scar on'one side of the ^
man's face. b<

NIAGARA TAKE BOV'S LIFE.
Frail Youth Succumbs After Gallant
Battle.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., August 16.?
August Sporer, an 18-year-old boy,
of this city, went to his death to-day
in the whirlpool rapids after a gallant
battle with the giant waves between
the lower bridge and the pool.
With three companions Sporer went
for a swim in the river. He struck ???|
about at once for the middle of the
3tream and then turned toward the
bridges. His companions called to
bim to turn back, for the current is
very swift at that point, but he kept
on down stream, and was caught in
the great sweep, the first break from
the smoother waters to the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time
against the current but to no avail.
rhen, realizing that he was beyond
human help and was to be carried
through the rapid which took the life ..->^18
of Capt. Webb, and which have resisted
every unaided human effort at
passage, he deliberately turned down
3tream and began a grim fight for
Not ip all the history of the river
has such a brave effort been witnesi3d.
Although but a frail boy, he went Into
the rapids swimming strongly s'jlal
and held his own until he struck the ?iant
wave which curls up opposite
the Old Battery elevator. Then he
went under and for a second was
lost to sight of the score of people ,
who stood on the lower arch bridge.
Again and again he' disappeared ." * M
pnly to reappear, each time fighting
desperately against the terrible current.
Then, when within 300 yards
3f the whirlpool, his strength gave /

Even then he had swum perhaps
LOO yards farther than did the great , ; :*B
