There are entirely too many dogs
running at large on the streets of
Bamberg. City council should take
action to have the dogs muzzled or
kept off the streets.
The selection of an attorney by
the plaintiff in the suit against The
State Co. seems to be significant.
Mfnn ricr if thia ic nrtt a MSP of at- '
tempted revenge on the part of some- body?
We have no idea the suit will
amount to anything, or that it will
ever reach a jury. No doubt a nonsuit
will be granted just as soon as
a judge gets a chance at it. 1
If there is any person in Bamberg
who believes his name has not been
gotten by the census enumerator, we
would be gald if they would notify
The Herald at once. This is an important
matter, and it will affect the
standing of the town. It will be little
. trouble to notify us, and we will see (
that your name is given tc the enumerator.

Young Man Refused to Jump From s
Window and is Lost. 1
i-M,../5,; ,
At Hickory, N. C., Mr. Clarence
v , Seaboch, a 20-year-old youth, was
:' burned to death Friday night in a
second story room of his* father's ?
house. The boy went home at 11
o'clock and at 12.10 the alarm was
- .. r' , r
turned in. The old man went to the 1
Window and cried to his son, who
was screaming for help, to jump. 1
It was only about fourteen feet to
ine gprouna, dui me young man seemed
to be dazed. He went back into 1
?%; ' ; the room and no? long after his
agonized parent saw him fall to his 1
* knees and the flames blotted out 1
any further vision. A man climbed ?
. on an, improvised scaffold to the 1
f ? 1
window a little later, but was too
g?>S'>\ late. ;
The charred and unrecognizable re- 1
mains were found in the ashes. Young 1
; r ' Seaboch went home at 11 o'clock, 1
and, as he smoked it is supposed that f
he may have dropped a spark or left ^
b a lamp too near some inflamable ma?
:/,: terial. The city is shocked over the 1
; - holocaust and there is a general 1
^ V awakening to the importance of fire a
escapes. ]

rv'--- The Augusta Chronicle says last
^ / Mpnday morning a negro girl, 12 t
-I' ? years old, was found hanging by her e
heels to a pine tree in Lincoln coun- c
V' ty. The girl had been missing since n
li V Saturday two weeks ago. a
When discovered she was almost n
* dead. She had been beaten terribly f
and showed evidences of other ill o
> treatment. After being attended by t
doctors, she regained consciousness y
long enough to tell who had treated c
^ her so cruelly. The names of the \
-parties are not given, but it is learn- v
f - ed that two negro women and a ne- p
gro*man are in jail at Lincolnton, s
charged with the crime. h
/ Nothing is known as to how long p
the girl had been hanging to the p
>J , tree. v She had been tied up with D
wild grape vines. The thongs had c
tent into her flesh and bloodpoisoning r
[:/' has set in. She is not expected to u
live. '* ' r
Sheriff Wright, of Lincoln county, tl
who was in Augusta, says that he v
has been unable to find out the cause \
' ''of the girl's treatment, but under- f
stands that it grew out of some contention
over work on a farm in that
KS? county. r

The woman was Mrs. Charles W. c
Morse, wife of the New York finan- c
<eier in the federal prison at Atlanta, c
Ga., serving a sentence of 14 years
for wrecking banks in New York.
Many members of both houses and

SAVES THREE LIVES.
Policeman Dies of Injuries Received
Rescuing Little Ones.
Philadelphia, May S.?Policeman
William Weiss died here to-day from
injuries received in saving three children
from death under the hoofs of
the horses in a chariot race last
Thursday night at a circus performance.
Three chariots drawn by four
horses each were rounding the turn
into the home stretch when the chil
dren, thinking the performance over,
started to run across the track. The
throngs of spectators looked on in
breathless horror. Weiss ran in
front of the approacking chariot and
tossed the children back to safety but
was himself struck by the long pole
of a chariot and knocked under the
horses' hoofs.
KVickersham Defies Orders of Senate.
Washington, May 9.?Attorney
General Wickersham has declined to
larry out the resolution of Senator
S. D. Smith to ascertain who sold the
cotton to Messrs, Brown, Hayne, Pat;en
and others alleged to have corlered
the staple.
The resolution was passed by the
>enate without opposition last week,
jeing the first measure that Senator
smith had put through. It created
something of a sensation at the time
n New York.
' The cotton speculators who sold
his cotton or the contracts were in a
lole being caught short and forced
o deliver. Senator Smith in pre
.enting his resolution declared that
he Attorney General was assisting
he cotton bears by instituting the
iroceedings against those who bought
he contracts and that this was greaty
to the injury of the Southern coton
farmer and would benefit only
he short speculators and the foreign
>urchasers of cotton.
The attorney general in reply to
he demand of the Smith resolution
:o investigate who sold the contracts
laid in a communication to the Sen-,
ite that it was not his function or
lis duty to make investigations at
;he cohimand of congress. He stated
n effect that he would ignore the
esolution of Senator Smith and that
le did not care for any further orders
rom the legislative branch of the
jovernment.
Senator Smith says that he does
lot intend to let the matter drop and
le feels confident the facts about the
illeged pools and the aggressive bears
vill- come to light "before he is done :
vith it. "The language of the attor- i
ley general is respectful enough," he
ays. "He simply says he has no auhority
to delve into the matter 01* to i
isk for an indictment by the grand 1
ury except upon some complaint.
"But the senate judiciary commit- i
ee has it under consideration wheth- i
r or not Mr. Wickersham is legally
orrect in his position. If this com- <
oittee decides that he is, then I shall ]
sk for a senate investigation com- <
nittee. Then we would have Messrs. i
irown, Havne, Patten, dears and the i
thers before this committee, and ]
hey would bfe glayl to disgorge the <
canton secret of who sold them the ]
otton. My opinion is that Mr. 1
o 4a moHr fo H rATl th P
V OUHU1 1 VUVIJ w vat V|f VMV
fhole matter. The cotton bears have 1
ought and delivered, I understand,
o that if it has been his desire to I
,elp out these bears by instituting i
roceecjings which would depress the ]
rice of cotton, that purpose was im- 1
mediately accomplished, for he did 1
ause cotton to go down. Since my <
esolution passed the senate it went !
p again, but the bears seem to have ;
ecouped, while it was down, but the j
hing has gone to the point now 1
rhere it is too late to hedge. If Mr. ;
Vickersham does not find out the |
acts in the case the senate will." ]
Harry Levenson.one of the trio ar- .
ested'in New York last week on j
harges of being engaged in the
white slave" traffic, on Tuesday en- 1
ered a plea of guilty before a United (
itates commissioner and gave details
if tho TirVir?lo bnrrihle business, to
;ether with the names of the prin- j
ipal operators. According to Levenon,
the nefarious business has conLection
in nearly every one of the
arger cities of this country and also
n Canada and France. Levenson's
irrest was brought about by brilliant
letective work by two young women
:ollege graduates who worked on the
:ase for months.
Slashed With Knife.
Buena Vista, Ga., May 9.?I. T.
rurner, a well to do planter, was so
erribly slashed with a knife by his
:ousin, Will Turner, at the former's
lome near here this morning that it
s believed that he has no chance for
ecovery. Mrs. Turner saw the at
;ack on her husband, but it is alleged,
a-as' deterred from going to his assistance
by a threat against her own
ife. Her screams attracted her
laughter, who rushed from the
Planter's home with a gun. Will
rurner fled when the girl ran up. A
iispute about matters on the plan:ation,
it is said, caused the cutting.
k posse is pursuing Will Turner.

JONES AND THE JUNGLE.
Promises to Put the Lion's Reputation
on the Blink.
What's the matter with this Buffalo
Jones person, any way? He's
crabbing a perfectly good African
game?one that has kept space writers
in cakes for years?not to speak
of one eminent person who has been
burning up words at a dollar per
holocaust for some months past. It
isn't clubby in Jones to go cheering
through the jungles, roping lions
D T hfon/1 An / ViAm onA
i UUlilUg tuc uu uiauu vu ' buvxu) uuu
then turning them loose to lick the
hot spot. It not only puts the reputation
of the king of beasts on the
blink, showing him to be a harmless
brute who can 'be tied up as easily
as a $4 calf, but it destroys a tradition.
The next mighty hunter who
goes after the Tumbo rocord will
have to tell it to a phonograph. No
other audience would stand hitched.
There may and there may not be a
moving picture end to Buffalo Jone's
jungle eexploits. A perverse and
suspicious generation is apt to suspect
something of the sort. But
even if there is the facts are not to
be disputed. Here is a man of sixtysix
years, whose life has been spent
in the hardest of all occupations?
that of cattle ranching in the west?
who can barely eat $4 or $5 worth of
food at a meal, and can hardly stick
on a horse more than thirty-six
hours at a stretch, going into the
African jungle, and roping, tying,
and branding all sorts of wild beasts
with the same unconcern that he
would show in venturing into the
milking pen at home. The chances
are that ^hen he gets back it will be
discovered that he hasn't had occasion
to crack a cap at a ferocious
animal during his trip. Lion hunting
will be displayed by him as a milk
mild and Sedentary occupation, to be
recommended for invalids and
children.
That's Jones's point of view,x anyhow.
He used to be warden of the
Yellowstone Park, and found that the <
grizzly bears?protected by law in
the park?were annoying tourists by '
i-ofiieinw trt nnco fnr nh nfocranhs.
vv y vww So
Jones took a large elm club and 1
went out and, chastised the bears, j
He had to tie them up to trees for i
the operation, not because they were 1
dangerous ?to Jones ?but because '
he. hated to chase bears on foot, ,
every now and then reaching a re^ (
treatinf rump with a wallop. And
when any one sent in an order for
a mountain lion, Mr. Jones went out
and got the lion with a string. Just ;
threw a noose around his neck,
kicked him in the slats a few times, <
and rode the lion back to camp. All '
his life he has dealt with wild animals
in preference to tame. There ?
is more fun in it?for Jones?not 1
the animal. (
A fine, breezy person is this master j
of the rope. Born in New England, .
he left for the west as soon as he
conveniently could. In 1885 he got ''
an idea that some one should pre- !
serve what was vleft of the buffalo.
in one day's ride he roped and tied
eight calves?. As the wolves were 1
following him looking for a light
lunch, he left an article of apparel
with each calf, knowing that the
followers Vould suspect a trap. He
would have caught nine calves, except
that he couldn't pry loose his ear- c
ring. That was the only garment he c
had left. He had a ranch down on (
the Colorado river where he raises .
buffaloes, lions, and sandstorms in
jqual proportion. Now and then he t
sells a cattalo, too?the product of 5
i cross between the domestic cattle
ind the buffalo. When he went into
the business buffalos were a drug at
$ 100 each. Now they are worth $1,- "
500?and he has cornered the mar- <
ket. J
He isn't happy out of the saddle. J
He is all tanned leather and struc- <
tural steel. He isn't a showman or a <
poet or a faunal naturalist or a four- j
flush. He is just a cow-puncher With <
a, bug on catching bad beasts with a 1
string. He doesn't like to kill, for J
he* believes that all animals fear
...
death?and, anyhow, it's more run to
catch 'em alive. If he had any busi- ^
ness faculty he would long ago have
been at the head of some sort of a s
woozy west show with a box office
annex. He has the show as it is, but ]
he furnishes his own audience. Now ]
and then some dyspeptic millionaire ]
visits him in the sand and lives on
grub that would choke a hash ma- '
chine, and come back tanned and i
hearty to tell what wonders Jones ac- '
complishes. Some one else has to :
tell, for Jones won't. He has a fine |
vocabulary, but he rarely uses it.
Arizona is hot enough, anyhow. It
is not that he is coy or shrinking.
He just doesn't choose to talk.
IHe won't visit the Methpdist
church, either, when he comes back. 1
For a different reason.?New York
Globe.
The butchers of the city of Orangeburg
went into an agreement to raise
the price of meats twenty per cent.,
and now they are likely to be prosecuted
under the anti-trust laws of the
State.
