Mr. Joseph McCormack, dispenser at Bamberg, told us he sold a little \ over $600 worth of whiskey last Saturday, and that at the present rate the stock of whiskey on hand will be sold out before the date for the dispensaries to close. He said all the fine whiskies had been sold, and that now he had only the cheaper grades on hand. From this it appears that the negroes and the white people who drink whiskey are buying the best these days.

Her age was twenty-four years. Death of Mr. Rowell. x Mr. B. A. W. Rowell died at his home in this city last Wednesday morning about half past one o'clock, after an extended illness. In fact he had been confined to his bed for several months, and had been devotedly nursed by his son, Mr. C. C.

The following from the New Orleans Item will be of interest to the many friends of Ensign D. Graham Copeland, in this city, his old home: "An engagement of much social prominence and interest recently announced is that made by Mrs. James Alfred Charbonnet of her granddaughter, Miss Marie Paola Nathalie Castanedo, one of New Orleans' most popular belles and greatest beauties, to Ensign David Graham Copeland, United States Navy, the marriage to be celebrated at the home of the bride-elect Tuesday evening, November the ninth." first of ^ |J raincoats, too, are in be first in them.

Last Sunday Grier Proveaux, George Wilson, Tobie Creech, Frank Brabham, John Rush, and Henry Jeffcoat were arrested in Orangeburg on the charge of taking an automobile from the garage of Mr. J. H. Dixon at the cotton mill. They were brought back to Bamberg Monday by Magistrate H. D. Free, and the trial of Proveau took place Tuesday afternoon, the charges against all the others being dropped. The magistrate found him not guilty. It seems that Proveaux was working for Mr. Dixon and some time Saturday night, he having a key to the shop, went in the garage and took out the Franklin touring car belonging to Mr. F. M. Simmons which was in charge of Mr. Dixon. Then taking the others with him, the whole party went over to Orangeburg to spend Sunday. Proveaux's defense was that Mr. Dixon had told him he could use the car provided he would furnish his own gasoline and this Mr. Dixon denied. The case against the others was dropped as it was shown that they only went along with Proveaux, he being the one who took the car out. They are all white men and boys, and work at the cotton mill, young Creech being a deaf mute. The 1 ? ?xill i?? on/1 1 f \c car IS 3LIU 1X1 uiaugcuuig, uuu tv not known how much damage was done to it, as Proveaux was not experienced in running the car. Mr. Dixon testified he had told Proveaux he would take him out Sunday morning and learn him to run the car, but that he never agreed to let him use it alone. The Cotton Market. The government crop report evidently did not help the price of cotton very much, as the price to-day is not as high as it was some days ago. The price to-day is 12.90, and the receipts continue heavy. Negro Killed Saturday Night. Last Saturday night a negro named Oscar Wroton was shot and killed on the plantation of Mr. W. H. DeWitt above Govan. Hosea Odom was the negro who did the killing. He did not deny the act, and the verdict of the coroner's jury was to this effect, Coroner Zeigler having held the inquest. There had been some previous trouble between the men, and it is said that the trouble was over Odom's wife. Saturday night the trouble was renewed at the commissary, and later on they met on the road near by and Odom shot Wroton. Odom claims self defense, says that Wroton threw his hand back as if to draw a weapon, when he shot him. Odom was brought to Bamberg and lodged in jail to await trial at the November term of court. Wroton was said to be a turbulent sort of negro, and by his rowdy disposition had narrowly escaped serious trouble heretofore. He did not bear a good reputation among his own race. the s< SHI in clothes is flf anything else; |' to be a sourc< i' i satisfaction The first m the store wea ?1| suits or one o 'mMa for Fall is si pleasure in it; J i *1 ?. urcddcu uiaii i Slip he'll have a I and fashion t p..

G. HAYS. This Sad Event Occurred at His Home in Greenwood Wednesday Aignt. I Mr. Alf G. Hays died at his home in Greenwood last Wednesday night, after an illness of only a few hours. Death was caused by uremic poisoning. He was in Bamberg Monday of last week, looking as well as could; be, and his many friends in Bamberg where he was born and raised were shocked and grieved by the tidings of his sudden death. He was taken sick on Wednesday some time during the day, and went home, but he nor his family thought he was dangerously ill, but that night he grew worse quickly and soon the end came. The body was brought here Thursday night and was buried at Southend cemetery Saturday morning, the funeral being postponed until that time in order that his brother, Mr. N. R. Hays, and Mr. Gibson, his brother-in-law, could reach here from Apalachicola, Fla. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, and there was a large crowd i present. The floral (tributes were especially numerous and handsome. | The pall bearers were: H. H. Copeland, Havelock Eaves, H. W. JohnI Ti TIT Oimmnno W P P11PV. J. | &uii, r iu* kjimuivuw, ?? ? . v , A. Murdaugh, Henry F. Bamberg, and W. D. Rhoad. Mr. Hays was born in Bamberg and lived here until he was grown. He was the youngest son of the late Maj. E. R. Hays, and is survived by his mother and several brothers and sisters. Some years ago he moved to Greenwood and was associated in business with his brother, the late R. M. Hays, who died last year. After his brother practically retired from business, the Hays Live Stock and Vehicle Company was organized, and A. G. Hays was manager of this business until his death. A few years ago he was married to Miss Annie Gibson, of Apalachicola, Fla., and his widow with one child, a son, survive him. "Alf Hays, as he was known to everybody in Bamberg, was thirtysix years old, and during his short life had made many friends both here and in Greenwood, his adopted home. Clever and genial by nature and with a big heart in him, he was liked by nil who knew him. He inherited many of the fine qualities of his father, and his death will cause sorrow to many hearts.
