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.

breaking attendance, and during the
winter months the school had the
largest bona fide membership in its
history. This year the aim will be
to increase the attendance and membership
and the general efficiency of
the working force.

Joy Riders Arrested.
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.

DEATH OF A. 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.

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.
