THE HERALD,
^ " Bamberg, S. C.
Did you ever notice that when a
fffe"ii fellow wants to run for office real
, - bad, he gets to making addressee at
|.;V. school closings?
The testimony before the military
> court of inquiry certainly established
?\' the fact that South Carolina needs a
new ad/utant general and that officer
another assistant.
The candidates are beginning to

more of them come. We want to see
; . ? a lively campaign in this county, and
| it is the privilege of everybody to run
^ ; ^ for office. ^
The Winnsboro Herald* and News
. / issued a creditable memorial edition
f ;c last week. The issue consisted of
twenty-four pages, and contained
many photographs of the old soldiers,
^ b^des much interesting history of

Have you joined the Business

at once. Let's give the old town a
* push forward. She's growing right
Vv ' along anyway, but we want all to
5^ / toelp the growth. 4
We don't see how the Spartanburg
x [ Herald is going to survive getting
the newspaper men as temporary sojourners
and John Wood as a permanent
resident all in one year. The
good things- are coming rather too
g ; much in a bunch.
^ , We want to see several candidates
F; ~ ' offer for every office in Bamberg
V , county this year, and we want to see
; our best men offer themselves. Especially
do we want to see strong
. men offer for th^ legislature. We
have plenty of good material, but inP
- , ducing them ?o run is a problem.

MOTHER AND CHILD SHOT.
Negro Kills Two of His Race Without
Provocation,
j
Aiken, May 31.?Several posses of
negroes and white people are to-night
scouring the woods for James Robin*
son who this morning shot and killed
two negro women at Bath. The dead
women are Fannie Brown and her
daughter, Willie Brown, both of
whom bore good reputations around
Bath. *
The reason for the murders is not
Tf la fhot Rfth.
IMIU w u uci C. X b AO vvu VU?*W AWW
inson paid the negro women a visit
yesterday and this may have had
some relation to the murder to-day.
The women lived at McNames &
company's chalk beds, about a mile
from Bath. This morning they were
at work in a cotton field, hoeing cotton.
Robinson came up to them and
commenced cursing. One of the women
asked him, "What is the matter,
Jim?" upon which he answered,
"Don't ask me what the matter is.
You know what the matter is." At
almost the same moment, he raised
his rifle to his shoulder and fired at
the girl, the shot striking her on the
left elbow, shattering the arm. Proceeding,
the ball went through th.e
woman's side. Th^negro then turned
his gun upon the j^l's mother, shooting
her twice, instantly killing her. A
negro boy was working with the women.
Robinson turned after killing
the two women and ran, knocking the ,
boy down, but not otherwise hurting
him. ' * ,
The sheriff was immediately wired
for by F. E. Henderson, manager of .
the chalk bed, and requested to bring ,
the county blood hounds. The dogs, .
however, were not available. Other
dogs failed to follow the track of the
fleeing negro, whose trail led toward
Beech Island.
Hasty posses were formed of both
whites and negroes, who were alike
intent on capturing the murderer. It
was rumored this afternoon that Robinson
had been arrested in Augusta.
The people of the community are
very indignant over the brutal occurrence.

Constable Kills Negro.
Newberry, May 31.?Considerable
excitement was caused in Newberry
Monday afternoon by a report - received
from Saluda county, just
across the line that as a result of an
attempt on the part of Mr. M. Q.
Chappell of this city to arrest a negro,
there had been considerable trouble,
and several Newberrians immediately
left in automobiles for the scene
of the reported trouble.
When they reached the place, however,
everything was quiet, but last 1
night the negro who had resisted <
died as a result of the wound inflicted ?
upon him by Mr. Chappell Monday E
afternoon, when the negro drew his 1
shot, gun upon Mr. Chappell in his 1
resistance to the arrest. (
Mr. Chappell had a warrant for 1
Wade Abney, a negro living on Mr. 1
A. L. Coleman's place, charging Ah- I
ney with disposing of property under c
lien. Mr. Chappell went to Abney's *
home with the warrant to make the
arrest, but Abney refused to come }
with Mr. Chappel^ and, as stated, 8
drew his shot gun upon Chappell, 1
whereupon Chappell shot him with 1
his pistol. The negpo then ran and
wasvmet near his house by his son,
Ben Abney, who took the shot gun
and met Mr. Chappell with it. Mr.
Chappell having only a pistol and
being within range of the shot gun s
went to Mr. Kempson's place to get 0

the place with Mr. W. F. Coleman z
found the negro Wade and his son
both gone. It was learned here this
morning that the negro Wade died
last night as the result of the wound,
and the inquest is being held this
morning.
^Several of the Newberrians who
went over to Saluda Monday afternoon
went back Tuesday morning in
an automobile to attend the inquest.
Spirit of Yoong America.
A teacher in a Philadelphia public
school recently narrated the following i
account^ of how an aspiring young t
Italian citizen was beginning to show
the effects of an American environ- c
ment. The story, which was told at
a teachers' association meeting, runs
something like this:
Tony had been away from school
about a week, and when he showed
up one morning the teacher asked c
him where he had been.
"I ran away," said Tony.
"Ran away? What did you do that
for?" asked the teacher.
"My father was going to lick me, c
so I thought I'd run away," was the I
reply.
The teacher by further questioning i
brought out' tljie fact that Tony for
some trifling dereliction had been i
threatened with a beating and had
stayed away from home the best part
of a week. s
"But your father has the right to 1
whip you," said the teacher.
"Yes, he may,'" added Tony, "but I t
was born in this country and I don't i
want no foreigners to lick me."? t

NEGRO KILLED BY OFFICER.
TWENTY-FIVE ARRESTS MADE
BUT DAY IS QUIET.
Five Thousand Negroes Gather to
Celebrate Decoration Day?Less
Than Usual Disorder.
Beaufort, May 30.?Decoration
day in Beaufort passed with one fatality
and about 25 arrests. Policeman
H. W. Wallace, a negro, shot and
killed Charles Seymour of Saint Helena
Island, after Seymour had shot
cii, Hit? yuiitciiiau ivui nmvo,
Only about half the usual number
of town negroes that usually participate
in the decoration day celebration
were in Beaufort to-day. Three steamers
brought excursionists from Savannah,
one steamer came from Charleston
and numerous gasoline and harbor
craft brought in negroes from the
adjacent' sea islands. At least 5,500
negro excursionists came in early
in the day and while there was some
drunkenness and 25 arrests for minor
offenses, the day was much more
peaceable than many former decoration
days have been.
Policeman Wallace had arrested a
negro about 2 o'clock this afternoon
for cursing and raising a disturbance
on the streets. As he went down to
the Savannah dock, Seymour asked
him if he was the man who had arrested
the fellow from St. Helena for
cursing. Upon Wallace saying he
was, Seymour applying a vile epithet,
ool-'Qil nrViir ha arroct Vl 1 m
aoA^u n uj uv uiuu v vwv
Policeman Wallace did arrest him
and after goipg about fifty feet Seynour
jerked away from the policeman
and began shooting at him. The first
shot struck the scabbard of the policeman's
revolver and the other three
bullets passed through his coat as he
jumped from side to side dodging the
shots.
After the fourth shot Seymour's
pistol caught and the policeman drew
tiis gun and fired once, the bullet
striking Seymour on the left side of
the skulj, fracturing the bone and
causing concussion of the brain, from
svhich he died an hour later. A good
aiany threats were made against the
policeman by visiting negroes, but
everything is quiet t'o-night and nearly
all outsiders have left town.
Wallace has been a policeman for
the past three years and bears a good
eputation. The coroner's jury at 8
j'clock returned a verdict that Sey nour
came to his death from a pistol
n the hands of Policeman Wallace
vhile in the discharge of his duty.
Undue Familiarity.
Washington, May 31.?Undue faniliarity
between the white soldiers
)f the One Hundred and Twentyleventh
coast artillery at Fort Frenont,
St. Helena Island, S. C., and the
legro men and women living in the
leighborhood of the post, was the
;ause of the peppering with shot of
lalf a dozen of the soldiers May 9,
ast. This is the substance of a re)ort
made to the adjutant general by
>ne of the inspectors who made an
nvestigation of the affair on the spot. ,
'Blind tigers" and "boot leg whiscey"
played the usual part in the i
iffair. As a result several of the enisted
men are to be tried by courtnartial.
Barnwell's New Bank.
Work on the new East Main street
milding of the Home Bank of Barnveil
has progressed sufficiently to
ihow that when completed, in a
:ouple"of months time, it will be one
>f the handsomest, most up-to-date
tnd perfectly appointed business
docks in all lower Carolina.
The home of the bank will be in
he Eastern section, which will be
>right with daylight and brilliant
vith fixtures. Merchant J. A. Porter i
las leased until next January, with
>ption to purchase for $4,000, the
jommodlous middle store, while the
iVestern one has been definitely sold

A Reluctant Candidate.
During a local election in a Gernan
town only one man appeared at
he nomination desk.
. "Whom do you nominate?" in[uired
the official.
"Myself," was the answer.
"Do you accept the nomination?"
"Well, no."
The officer laughed and said:
"Then we must try again. Whom
lo you nominate?"
"Myself."
"You accept the nomination?"
"No.'-'
A subdued "Donnerwetter!" esaped
the lips of the perplexed official,
>ut he went on:
"For the third time, whom do you
lominate?"
"Myself," came the invariable re)ly.
V
"Do you accept the nomination?"
The man rose up, and a smile of
latisfaction spread over his face as
le answered proudly:
"Having been three times solicited
>y my fellow citizens to accept the
lomination, I can no longer decline
o acede to their wishes." He then i

ROBINSON STILL AT LARGE.
Alleged Slayer of Aiken Women Pursued
by Posses.
Aiken, June 1.?The negro James
Robinson, who is alleged to have slain
Willie Brown and her mother, Fannie
Brown, yesterday at Bath is still at
large, although several posses are s^till
pursuing him. No definite clue has
been found as to his whereabouts,
but it is thought that he is still on
this side of the Savannah river. A
suspect was arrested in Augusta yesterday
but was soon released when it
was found out that he was not the
man wanted.
The labor at the McNames Kaolin
Works is very much demoralized over
the double killing, the father and
husband of the two dead negro women,
being a foreman in the works.
As soon as news reached the laborers
at work they threw down their tools
| and most probably it will be near the
end of the week before anything else
is accomplished there.
Has Been Seen.
j Reports have just been received
saying that a. negro answering to the
description of James Robinson has
been seen between Kathwood and
Jackscfn Station. At that time he had
discarded his rifle.
Sheriff Raborn is sending descriptions
of the fugitive all over the
country. He is about 45 or 50 years
old, round and stoop shouldered,
sfightly gray haired and ball on the
forehead; color, dark brown, almost
black, pop-eyed; about six feet tall,
very slender and weighing around 150
pounds, pared-toed, wears No. 10 or

They All Serve. \
George C. Boldt, well-known hotel
man, was talking in Philadelphia
about the hotels in Switzerland.
"They are good," said Mr. Boldt.
"At the price they are remarkably
good. The Swiss are a nation of hotel
keepers.
"The Alps, you know, draw all the
world to Switzerland, and the Switzer
who wants to become a millionaire
goes into the hotel* business, as
an American would go into steel or
sugar. He begins at the bottom. He
is a waiter.
"It is said that once in Bern, at a
historic public meeting, all the leading
men of Switzerland were gathered
together. A vote had been taken
and in the iHtense silence preceding
the epoch-making verdict of the tellers
a wag shouted 'Waiter!'
"Instantly the whole assembly rose
as one man'and answered, 'Yes, sir!' "

about $2,500 has been subscribed for
building good roads and improving
highways within a radius of ten miles
of Allendale. Before many months

impede the progress of one of the
best sections in South Carolina.
Prosecuting for Perjury.
Aiken, May 31.?B. Bates and B.
M. Cothran were served with warrants
to-day, on the charge of perjury,
in connection with a case in the
mayor's court a few days ago, the men
swearing that two men, charged with
fighting, had not been in the least
disorderly, whereas, it is alleged that
there is proof that there was a fight.
They were carried before Magistrate
Smoak this afternoon and were
granted bail until next Wednesday
when they will be given a preliminary
hearing at 10 o'clock.
The case against Bates and Cochran
is brought by the city of Aiken,
and the chief of police appears as
the prosecutor in the name of the I
city. |
Slayers of Negro Surrender.
'
Union, S. C., May 30.?Iremus Je-'
ter, colored, was shot and killed Friday
afternoon about five o'clock in
Fish Dam township. A warrant was I
sworn out by Coroner Hames against J
P. B. O'Dell, constable, and E. L.
Street. Odell and Street surrendered
to the sheriff yesterday morning and
they are both now in jail.
It is said that Jeter had on his J
right wrist a handcuff and that at
the inquest, in order to get the handcuff
off, his hand was amputated.
The trouble is said to have started
from Jeter's violating a contract
and the arrest followed. Coroner
Hames, accompanied by Dr. Theo.
Maddox, left here Friday night about
1 o'clock for the scene of the fray
and an inquest was held over the body
of Jeter Saturday morning.
