MET FEARFUL FATE.
Little Two Year Old Girl Falls in
Burning Oil.
I
The Columbia State says Gertrude
Isabel, the two-year-old daughter of
C. G. Ohmig, died Sunday as a result
of burns sustained Saturday afternoon
by accidentally falling into
a tub of hot cooking oil. Mr. Ochmig,
a baker, was absent from home
* at the time and the oil was for use
in the preparation of doughnuts. The
child in some manner escaped the
iglance of the family and wandered
to the spot where the oil had been
?? j mwrv haplr and limbs

were severely scalded. Dr. DuBose
was hastily summoned and the lit%
tie child's suffering alleviated for the
time, but medical skill proved unavailing,
the burns covering so large
? a portion of the body and being of
bo severe a nature.

Don't Cut the Roots of tne urop.
Mr. Miller says that farmers should
study the processes of plant growth
in using fertilizers, and I would also
say in the cultivation of the crop.
When a man fully understands that
the only part of the roots of the
corn or cotton plants that are getk
. ting food from the soil is the little
zone of fine root hairs near the extreme
tips of the roots, which at
laying-by time are well across the
. rows, he will never put a plow in
there to tear them off and deprive
, the plant of the food those root hairs
would have gotten for him, but will
cultivate the crop as level and shallpw
as Dossible to avoid injuring the
4 roots. Every big root of the corn or
cotton you cut off deprives the plant
of millions of feeding hairs out at
the extremity of that root. And yet,
I have seen many a man coming out
of a corn row with his plow almost
choked with the roots he had torn
> off, and thinking he had done good
' work in laying-by that corn with a
> big ridge, when he had really shortened
the crop.?Progressive Farmer.

BLOODY "PEACE FESTIVAL."
Nine Negroes are Wounded and
Three of Them Will Probably Die.
Monroe, La., May 28.?Reports
of the wounding near Calhoun, La.,
of nine negroes, three of whom will
die, were received at the sheriff's
office here to-day, and a squad of
deputies left immediately for Calhoun
in an automobile
What had been advertised as a
"peace festival" was held last night
by the negroes living near Calhoun.
During the entertainment two negroes
opened a revolver duel and the
fight became general. Homer Davis,
a negro man, and two unidentified
rtegro women, were fatally wounded.
Six other negroes who were either
shot or stabbed will recover.
Several negroes alleged to be ringleaders

BOB JONES DISAPPOINTED.
Remains in Prison Until September,
Under Superintendent's Ruling.
Columbia, May 27.?Bob Jones
will not leave the State Penitentiary
before September 18, unless he is
pardoned or paroled by Governor
Ansel.
Capt. D. J. Griffin, the superintendent
of the Penitentiary, has ruled
that Jones's sentence did not expire
until September.
Bob Jones was convicted for the
murder of the three Pressleys in
Edgefield County, and has been at
the State Penitentiary for over twenty
years.
There is a rule at the Penitentiary
which allows a prisoner one month
off for each year during good behavior.
Jones was sentenced to serve
twenty-five years in the Penitentiary.
The trial Judge deducted the four
years from the sentence which Jones
spent in the Edgefield County jail
during the trials and the subsequent
appeals to the Supreme Court.
It was the contention of Bob Jones
that he would leave the Penitentiary
on May 18, and that the one month
that he is entitled to because of
good behavior would be deducted
from the four years spent' in the
Edgefield jail. Superintendent Griffin
has taken a different view of the
situation, and has concluded that one
month should not be deducted from
the Edgefield term, as Jones was not
at that time a prisoner at the Penitentiary
Bob Jones was disappointed when
he found that he would not leave the
prison on May 18. Preparations had
been made for his reception in Augusta.
Upon leaving prison he will
settle near the little town of Harlem,
in Richmonnd County.
SOME PRIZE CORN FIELDS.
Farmer Ritter at Cope in Race for
Corn Prizes.
??
Cope, May 30.?Mr. E. E. Ritter
took this correspondent over to his
farm yesterday afternoon, and showed
him his five-acre cut of corn that
he has entered in the State Corn Contest.
The one-acre plot had to be
planted over? and is small, but healthy
looking and with the proper
treatment and good seasons will be
well up in the front. The five-acre
plot is as good as any'seen so far
this season, and is due one more
working and application of fertilizer,
and with the proper seasons, Mr.
Ritter is going to run somebody a
close race for the prize.
Engine Destroyed.
Bishopville, May 26.?An unusual
accident happened at Elliott' on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad Monday
. f- - . i -l-Vi tVio
evening auoui. eigui u uiwi;xv ?o
train for Lucknow was about to pull
out from that station. The engine
boiler exploded with the engineer and
fireman on the cab, completely demolishing
the engine, and yet not effecting
the engineer or fireman at all.
No harm was done except to the engine,
which was torn up. Owing to
the explosion, the train for Lucknow
did not arrive here until after 11
o'clock in the evening, when it should
have reached this point at 8. An engine
was sent from Florence to take
the place of the one destroyed.
What Weekly Journalism Offers.
This paragraph is from a newspaper
that has earned the right to
speak on such subjects, The Bamberg ,
Herald: '
"The editorial from The State
which we publish in another column
- - * ?i __ * ^ * ?i-i-i. 1 ^ fT^/%
is exacuy aiong tne ngut uuc. aw
many so-called newspapers have no
reason or right to exist, and the sooner
the newspaper fraternity takes
definite and positive action in regard
to such sheets the better it will be
for the newspapers which cost time
and money to publish. We commend
the consideration of this subject to
our brethren at the annual meeting
soon to assemble at Glenn Springs."
Printed in the smallest county in
South Carolina, in a town of about
2,500 or 3,000 inhabitants, and with
competition The Bamberg Herald,
having made a modest beginning in
1891, has come to be a model county
newspaper of eight pages and 48 columns,
every line of which is homeset.
Its press work is a delight to
the eye, it prints all the news of.4ts
field, its editorial utterances are clear
and pointed and in make-up it is an
example of what good taste and industry
will prove.
These remarks are not intended,
primarily, as a compliment to The
Bamberg Herald but to direct atten
fion to what journalism offers to
young men of the right stamp in
South Carolina. There is scarcely a
county in South Carolina that could
not and would not support a newspaper
of the excellence of The Bamberg
Herald and if each county had
such a weekly newspaper the press of
the State would be superior to that
of any other American commonwealth.?Columbia

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Two Prominent Aiken Citizens Will
Have to Face a Serious Charge.
Acting upon the instructions of
city council, Chief Howard to-day will
swear out warrants for the arrest of
Burrel Bates and Ben Cochran, both
well known in Aiken, charging them
with perjury. It is charged that in
the trial Wednesday of E. P. Arthurs
and W. B. Hudgens for fighting last
Saturday in the store of Mr. Bates,
that' these two men failed to give the
evidence as they knew it. Reports I
had been brought to the police de- I
partment that there had been a fight I
in the store of Mr. Bates and that/he 1
and Ben Cochran had separated the I
combatants, but when the trial came I
off Wednesday both swore that nothing
of the kind had happend.
As the reports to the police department
went to show in all probability
a fight had occurred and that
these men were not telling actual
facts, Mayor Salley called a meeting
of the council Saturday to take the
case under advisement. As a result
of this meeting the warrant above
spoken of will be sworn out.?Aiken

NORWAY VISITED BY FIRE.
Early Morning Blaze Destroys Two
Dwelling Houses.
Norway, May 27.?At about 4:30
o'clock this morning Norway was visited
by a very disastrous fire. The
dwelling of G. B. Boltins caught on
fire and was well under way before it
was discovered, burning almost the
entire contents.
Dr. C. H. Abie's dwelling being
closely situated was the next to burn.
But for the heroic work of the faithful
workers Dr. Abie's barn, stables
and other dwelling houses would have
burned.
The losses are: G. B. Boltin's house
and furniture, value $1,200, insurance
$600. C. H. Abie's house, $600
stock, $1,500 fixtures, $500 instruments,
$200 insurance house, $300,
stock and fixtures $800.
Cases Against Goodman Dropped.
Columbia, May 27.?An unsuspected
turn which throws an interesting
light on the dispensary graft trials
was taken this morning in the Richland
county court when Solicitor
Cobb announced that two cases
against Morton A. Goodman, a liquor
drummer, had been nol prossed by
order of Attorney General Lyon. Assistant
Attorney Gen. Debruhl went
to the Richland county court house
with an order from the attorney general
that the cases be nol-prossed.
After a short conference it was announced
in open court that the
charges against Goodman had been
withdrawn. Morton A. Goodman was
charged together with members of
the directorate of the old State dis
/tVtAnf
pensary wuu uuiispiravy lu v;ucak auu
defraud the State of South Carolina
out of thousands of dollars. It was
he who when wanted as an important
witness in the graft trials here last
fall disappeared?that is, at least he
could not be found at his home and
was Counted "non-est" by the court.
It was thought that he would be able
to give valuable testimony for the
prosecution as. he was closely connected
with the members of the
board of control in a number of
transactions.
Goodman was indicted under indictments
number 50 and 51. His
name was erased from these. The
first indictment charged him with
conspiracy together with Jodie M.
Jtawlinson, Joseph B. Mylie, John
Black, James S. Farnum, John T.
Early and H. Lee Solomon. All of
these were members of the board of
control with the exception or Eariy,
Solomon and Farnum.
Was Avant Hired to Kill?
A special to the News and Cotirier
from Georgetown says: 1
An astonishing report is being circulated
here bearing on the mystery
of the killing of Mrs. Ruth Crisp Bigham
at Murrell's Inlet last September.
A statement is said to have been
made by a relative of Avant to the
effect that Avant confided to him a
short time ago that the killing of
Mrs. Bigham was a deliberate act on
his part; that he was hired by Bigham
to murder Blgham's wife and expected
to be paid well for the deel.
Avant is said to have stated that
as he fired the fatal load into the
back of the unsuspecting victim,
tears of pity were flowing from his
eyes. That such a statement has
been made by Avant's relative is au
thoritatively announced.
Bound and Bobbed. g
Greenville, May 29.?After a hand I
to hand encounter with two midnight
robbers, Alex Scruggs, a trained
nurse, was bound and gagged and
robbed of his purse here last night at
the residence of a prominent citizen,
where he roomed. He awoke to find
two men in his room, but they overpowered
him and after ransacking
the house, escaped. Scruggs was un-<
injured. g
