U. had a good missjnarv program on Africa, well caried out, last week. There were some ood essays that were worthy of pubcation. A nice crowd listened to hem also. On account of the weather, small ongregations attended the services unday, especially at night. The astor preached on "The Only Relief Dr Human Care and Anxiety," Sunay morning. At night Rev. E. A. IcDowell, traveling representative of ur State paper, the Baptist Courier, ropped in on us and preached at ight, a splendid sermon to the little rowd. Sorry more could not have eard it.

Father Lived Here. Mr. J. E. Blount, the 3'oung man rho was killed last week in a raiload wreck over in Georgia, was the oungest son of Mr. J. E. Blount, of lamberg. The young man was a raveling salesman, and was on the oad most of the time, was why he -as not known by many Bamberg eople. The body was carried trough Bamberg last Thursday, and he burial was at St. George Friday. Vhat makes the death of the young lan unusually sad was the fact that e was soon to be married, and was n his way to visit his fiance when e wras killed. She was the first to each him, and the first news of the ccident came to Mr. Blount here in telegram from the young lady. The elegram was delayed in transmision, and there will no doubt be a suit gainst the telegraph company. Lively Runaway. There was a lively runaway at the epot Monday afternoon. A horse itched to a wagon became frightend at a passing automobile while a runk was being loaded on the wagon nd dashed off across the railroad, ie ran into the front fence at the ourt house square and broke it down nd from there ran across the lawn a front of the court house toward he Mayflower Inn. There he enountered another fence, and in try x. k ~ 3g CO Clear tills Lie uecauue cmaugicu i the wire and fell. He was extriated from the fence with some diffiulty, but the animal was not hurt, 'he wagon was broken up some. CAIRO UNDER MARTIAL LAW. hree Hundred Militiamen Patrol Streets of Illinois Town. Cairo, 111., Feb. 19.?The statements of the four negro special deputes at the coroner's investigation of he killing of Alexander Halliday, hat they fired several shots each into he mob demanding admission to the ounty jail Thursday night served to cnew anti-negro agitation here, and he situation to-night is acute. With three hundred militiamen parolling the streets the city is practially under martial law. The coroner's jury, all business nen, could hardly restrain themglves when the negroes told how they ired on white men. The jury tried o ascertain which negro fired the iteel bullet which killed Halliday. >ut none of them admitted using a iwiss rifle which it was claimed one >f them had. The investigation adourned until Monday. The six negroes who assisted the heriff are marked men now that heir identity is known. Protests wen from most conservative whites lave been heard. Airs. Rose Maloney, whose pocket>ook was snatched by the negro vhom the mob was after Thursday light, had a second encounter with i negro to-day. She lost a diamond >rooch. which a negro found. She vent to the negro's house and iecured the broach, but he said he lid not know it was hers. Drawing i revolver from her muff she placed ts muzzle in the negro's stomach md made him confess that he knew t was hers. *- ii .. . .'.Ov; BIG DAMAGE SUIT. Mrs. Man la Silver is Suing the < Southern Road. .Mrs. Marcia Silver, of Augusta, through her attorneys, C. H. and R. S. Cohen, Saturday filed a suit for $5,000 against the Southern Railroad for damages. She alleges in her petition that she was illegally arrested by an employee of the road at Branchville, S. C. It is alleged in the petition that Mrs. Silver was on her way from Charleston to Augusta and at Branchville, a lady stated that she had lost $10. The night watchman for the road charged Mrs. Silver's little boy with having the money and searched him and later searched Mrs. Silver's suit case. She alleged that she was subject ed to much embarrassment and that she has been damaged to the extent of $5,000, and the suit against the railway hasteen brought to recover that amount. It will be tried no doubt in the United States Court at Charleston or Columbia. This case has been fully reported in this paper before, and it will be remembered that the money supposed to have been lost was at last found in the satchel of the young lady who thought she had lost it. The lady was a young school teacher and was also passing through the town of Branchville. Sometime ago she published a card in this paper giving her side of the unfortunate affair, in which she admitted substantially the facts as set forth in Mrs. Silver's petition but denied that anyone had accused that lady of stealing the money. The case is an interesting one and will be watched with interest.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Penalty Law Upheld. Washington, Feb. 21.?The South Carolina law subjecting a .-ailroad to a fine of $50 for failure to pay damage judgments within 40 day if on inastate, and 90 days if on interstate shipments were to-day upheld by the United States supreme court. Maacro \(a7iirlfV vnn T^htflphft and others from lower South Carolina brought suits against the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for the $50 penalty, winning their cases in the magistrate courts. The railroad appealed to the State supreme court. The shippers won there, and the raiftoad company appealed to the United States supreme court, which to-day sustained the decision of the State supreme court and ordered the railroad company to pay. Preliminary Held. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago Sam Tyler, a negro, was shot and killed on the Price place near town while out hunting with his son and two other negroes, Clarence .McMillan and Otis Brabham. The coroner's inquest returnc.'' a verdict that Tyler oame to his death at the hands of unknown parties, the testimony being that all the negroes fired at a rabbit ana it was not known which one fired the fatal shot. On this showing, of course, none of the negroes were held, it seeming clear that it was an accident. However, a warrant was sworn out by a negro named Grant this week for McMillan, before .Magistrate H. D. Free, and a preliminary hearing was held Tuesday, the result of which was that .McMillan was held for trial at the March term of court on the charge of murder. ( Sam Tyler, Jr., and Otis Brabham were also arrested on the same charge, and are now in jail. A" preliminary in their case will be held today (Thursday.) SCHOOL ELECTION NOTICE.
