NEWS AND NOTICES.
The Barnwell Association was well
attended and well entertained by
Bethel church and community. Bamberg
church was honored by having
one of her deacons, Dr. J. B. Black,
chosen as moderator. The various
interests of the denomination were
well represented by leading brethren.
The reports from the churches
showed a good increase in contributions
to the various objects of beneficence.
The next session will be held with
the St. John's church, near Ehrhardt,
and begin on Tuesday instead of
Thursday as was done this time.
The pastor Sunday morning, instead
of preaching a regular sermon,
after giving a brief report of the association,
made a retrospective and
prospective talk on his work here, in
which he formally accepted the call
for an indefinite length of time.
The church in conference appointed
a committee of five to formulate and
present a plan for the financial work
of the church for the ensuing year.
Some brethren from Springtown
church were present desiring to arrange
with our church tQ use our
pastor for one Sunday in the month.
While this desire was fully appreciated,
the church did not think it
wise to make any break in the regular
services. Good pastors for our
country churches is an important
problem for the good of the cause in
general. The forming of pastorates
by our country churches seems to be
;he only happy solution of the matter.
The union meeting for this section
cf the Association will be held with
Bethesda church next Saturday and
Sunday. Pastor Frier will preach
:here Sunday morning but will fill his
pulpit here at night.

Hit With a Bunch of Money.
Washington, Oct. 22.?Emilio Jasselli,
who charges that Charles C.
Glover, president of the Riggs National
Bank, hit him with a bunch of
money, filed suit for $10,000 damages
against Mr. Glover to-day, alleging
assault. Mr. Jasselli was form
eriy a depositor in tne DanK. Accuruing
to his complaint Mr. Glover,
without any reason, picked up a
package of money and threw it at
Jasselli, who avers that he was struck
and suffered bodily and mental pain
and was humiliated in the presence of
other persons and made to suffer
great distress of mind and loss of
reputation. How much money was
in the bundle alleged to have been
used by Mr. Glover as a weapon was
not disclosed.
Don't be a Kicker.
If you are a kicker and see the
shadows of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town, for
heaven's sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow on
the clay bank, and give the men who
are working to build up the town a
chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed,
whining, caping, chronic kicker can
do more to keep away business and
capital from a town than all the
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs,
cyclones and blizzards combined.
TWO NEGROES ARRESTED.
Charged With Tampering With Another
Person's Mail.
Aiken, Oct. 25.?Frank Archer
and Mary Johnson, both colored, have
been arrested in this city on a charge
of tampering with the United States
mails. They will probably be carried
before the United States coinmisssioner
at Edgefield for a preliminary
hearing to-day, and the case is so
strong against them that there is
little probability of their escaping
punishment.
A few days ago Archer called at
the Aiken post office and asked foi
Eva Glover's mail. He got a letter
for her. After leaving the post office
for a short time he came back and i
brought a money order payable to I
Eva Glover to the money order win- I
dow. He was informed by the clerk
that he could not collect the order.
He went away and in a few minutes
Mary Johnson came in, bringing the
order. She was asked if she was Eva
Glover and she answered in the affirmative.
The clerk told her she
would have to be identified and
she then brought Archer for this
purpose, who vouched for her identity
as the Glover woman. Postmaster
Carman overheard the conversation
and as he happened to
know Eva Glover he promptly refused
to pay the order and, after they
left he went out on the street, and
getting Chief of Police Howard, had
them arrested. The chief recovered
the letter and money order from
Archer's pocket. The negroes at first
staunchly denied any knowledge of
the affair, affirming that they had
not been to the post office that day,
but there were several employees of
the office to identify them, and they
soon weakened and partially confessed
to the crime.
The order was for $2. Archer says
that he was swinging the letter in
his hand when the order fell from
the envelope and then he tried to get
the money. A postoffice detective
came to Aiken a day or so ago to investigate
the matter.
! THROWN PROM LEVER CAR.
R. L. Smith, Bridge Foreman, Victim
of Accident Near Eutawville.
Fereuson.Oct. 24.?A sad accident
occurred last night on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad track near Eutaw
Springs. R. L. Smith, of Tennessee,
was thrown from a hand car and
injured internally and died in Eutawville
last night.
Mr. Smith was going from Ferguson
to Eutawville on a hand car
worked by four negroes, and when
the party came to a very sharp curve
in the track near Eutaw Springs,
they struck a heavy piece of timber,
which had evidently been placed
there by some heartless person with
evil intent. The speed at which the
car was going, . combined with the
sharp curve, caused the car to be
thrown from the track. Mr. Smith
was thrown from his seat against the
ties, causing his shoulder to be broken.
The negroes were also thrown
off but their injuries were very
slight. After a delay of a few min
utes the car was again placed on the
track and the party started for Eutawville.
Smith went around to his boarding
place and told of his accident but insisted
that no physician should be
called as his injuries were very
slight. In a very short time he
seemed to be in so much pain that
his wife summoned Dr. E. O. Horger
to his bedside and upon examination
he found that there were internal injuries.
The patient rallied upon the
use of hypodermic injections but
soon became unconscious and died
during the night.
It seems that there are several
motor cars used on the branch of the
Coast Line railroad between Eutawville
and Ferguson with the permission
of the railroad authorities, and
it is supposed that some cruel person,
desiring to derail one of these
cars, had placed a heavy piece of
timber on the track.
Mr. Smith was a bright young man
in the employ of the Cypress Lumber
company in constructing the steel
bridge across the Santee river. He
held the position 01 assistant roreman.
He leaves a very young wife.
BOY IS STILL HYPNOTIZED.
College Student Put Him Into a
Trance, But Can't Bring Him To.
Hartford, Conn., Oct. 22.?One of
the new students at the Connecticut
Agricultural college at Storrs is something
of a hypnotist. In a a spirit of
fun he advertised that he would give
a show and invited the students to
attend.
Among others he hypnotized a fellow
student named White, the son of
a minister. The hypnotism was a
complete success and the student
was the recipient of considerable
praise for his feat, but when he was
ready to bring his victim "to" again
he couldn't do it.
Doctors were called in and it was
more than thirty hours before White
came out of his hypnotic trance. Since
then he has been in a sort of stupor.
Dr. W. L. Hoggins, of South Coven
try, was canea to see tne stuaem ana
has been doing all he can to restore
the boy to his normal condition.
TAFT 'POSSUM DESTRUCTIVE.
Chews Up Mail During Night and
Practical Joker May be Punished.
Leesville, La., Oct. 23.?A short *
time ago a party of young people of
this city went on an old fashioned
'possum hunt, capturing several of
the animals. Sometime during the
same night some one placed an oppossum
in the package apartment of the
postoffice and addressed to President
Taft.
It was found the next morning by
the postmaster after the animal had
chewed up and destroyed all the mail
in the box.
The matter has been preferred to
the postal authorities and what was
started as a practical joke may result
in serious trouble to the perpetrators.
The inspectors in the department
are at work on the case.
