Aver, promptly at five o'clock. It is hoped that all memhere will be present, and chairmen of the committees are urged to attend. The recent heavy rains have done material damage to crops in this sec^. tion, and the farmers are not feeling ' ' good over the outlook. The cotton crop in this county will be short, many predicting that not more than fifty per cent, of the usual yield can he made. In "1906 there were ten automobiles registered in Bamberg county. In 1910 thirty-six are registered, and we;believe the number at' this date is possibly greater. The money invested, in automobiles in this county would establish several manufacturing enterprises.

This is now a sand bed and should be clayed. It looks bad to have a traveler find this' street in worse shape than the county road. There were eight applications for the Winthrop college scholarship, there being one vacancy for this county. The examination was held at the court house last Friday. There was oniy one applicant lur uie university of South Carolina scholarship, and one for the scholarship offered by the College of Charleston. The hook and ladder truck for the fire department has arrived and been put into service. As a consequence the South-eastern Tariff Association has been notified that Bamberg is now ready to have her insurance rates reduced. Air.

Ehrtardt, S. C., June 13, 1910. U. I). C. Meeting. The members of the U. D. C. Chapter were delightfully entertained at their last meeting bwMrs. G. F. Bamberg. Inspite of the never-ceasing showers that afternoon, about twenty were present. The meeting was held in honor of Jefferson Davis's birthday, so the program was arranged as a memorial to the president of the confereracy. After business matters had been discussed, a pleasant social hour was enjoyed. Delicious cream and angel cake were served. Letters have been sent out to all patriotic citizens of Bamberg county, asking their co-operation in the work which the ladies of the town have undertaken?the erection of a monument to our Confederate dead. It is believed and hoped that every man will respond to this call, as no one would like to feel that he had no part in this grand and glorious undertaking. Just think! If every man in Bamberg county would give the small i amount of one dollar, the monument * * - ?

Shep Pearlstine, accompanied by his attorney, Kon. S. G. Mayfield, left last week for New York to appear before Governor Hughes in the matter of extradition for Mr. Pearlstine. Some time in February Palmer Brothers, of Tennessee, who charge Mr. Pearlstine with embezzlement, had a requisition issued by the governor of Tennessee, and this requisition was honored by the governor of New York and a warrant issued, Mr. Pearlstine being in that State at the time. Then the case was transferred to South Carolina and Governor Ansel only a short time ago refused to honor the requisition. Now argument will be made before Governor Hughes as to why the requisition should be dismissed in the State of New York. Mr. Mayfield is expected home next Monday. Nothing has been heard so far as to the outcome of the proceedings. *** Good Roads Meeting. The campaign inaugurated by the Columbia Record for good roads in o nnnnlor OUu 1*11 vaxuiiua uao on uvzv a pvr^uii*t note, and we look for much good to result. The Record will send*out a party in automobiles to every county seat in the State where meetings will be held in the interest of improved highways, and it is believed this campaign of education will arouse interest in this important subject and stimulate our people to the necessity of better roads. The party will be in charge of Mr. C. W. Moorman, formerly secretary of the Columbia chamber of commerce, and Mr. D. H. Winslow, a government expert in road building, will make an address at each meeting. The meeting at Bamberg is scheduled for Tuesday, July 19th, and there should be a large crowd present, for the meeting will be both interesting and profitable. The business league has charge of arrangements for the meeting, and we feel sure it will be a great success. Executive Committee Meeting. _______ The county Democratic executive committee held a meeting at the court house here Tuesday, at which assessments on county candidates were fixed, they being about the same as formerly. The time limit for filing 1 pledges and paying assesments was J fixed to expire on Wednesday, July 20th. Countv Chairman H. C.

Hughes, of this county, pleaded guil:v to the charge of assault and bat:ery and was sentenced by Judge G. W. Gage to serve six years in the penitentiary. The assault was upon Hughes's wife, and appeared a most jnprovoked and aggravated one. On July 6, 1908, Governor Ansel :ommuted his sentence for the renainder of the term on condition that tie would not commit a like offence igain, and the governor's action was ipproved by a large majority of the people of this county. Hughes reached tiome on July 7, 1908, and up to a short time ago had been living peacefully and apparently happily with his svife and children on their farm, a lew miles south or the county seat. Some time ago it was rumored that le had again commenced to drink and ibuse his wife, who, by the way, is a most estimable lady. It is reported that a drunken spree >n last Sunday culminated in Hughes making a savage attack upon his wife vith a gun. It is said he knocked her lown with it, splitting her forehead )pen for several inches and othervise injuring her, so that the services )f a surgeon were necessary to dress ler wounds. It is also said that he ittempted to shoot her, and would lave succeeded but for the interference of a negro who knocked the ;un up as he was about to pull the ;rigger, thus saving the lady's life. Mr. Hughes's brother, who was argely instrumental in securing the ;ommutation, came to town and re)orted the matter, and Mrs. Hughes ilso wrote a note asking for protecion and that her husband be arrested. Clerk of Court C. B. Free swore >ut a warrant and Deputy Sheriff T. r. Rentz went down Sunday evening o arrest Hughes. When they got here, it is said, they found the -lughes home dark and no one venured near the house. On Monday Deputy Sheriff Rentz, accompanied >y W. M. McCue, constable for magisrate, H. D. Free, again went to the j??/*kan atv* r\ trr^ATl frtll r> H J. U?U.CTD uviiicj n uuu ivuuu lughes standing in his front door, lughes spoke to them and told them hat he liked them pretty well, but hat they must not get out of their >uggy if they did not want to die; hat he had served two years in the Penitentiary and he would rather die han go back again. The deputy heriffs considered discretion the etter part of valor and concluded not o alight from their vehicle, as it was svident that Hughes was armed and neant what he said. They talked ,nd reasoned with Hughes, who finaly proposed that he would go to town vith them if they couLd get his wife o accompany him to town. They hen went to a neighbor's home to vhich Mrs. Hughes had fled, but by he time they got there Hughes had vritten a note and sent it there, sayng he had left, so this plan was rustrated. The deputies spent the emainder of the day ridirg around ind looking for Hughes, but they said hey pfd not get in sight of him again, t is said that Hughes is still at home, )ut defies arrest. Sheriff Hunter is a one-legged Confederate Veteran and depends enirely upon his deputies for making irrests. The facts have been communicated o the Governor, and the people are iwaiting with some anxiety the outsome of the matter. There are many vho fear for the safety of Mrs. Sughes, but it is not generally ;hought that Hughes will do her larm unless he is under the influence )f liquor.?Bamberg special to News md Courier.

' l g ] ' INTERESTING SPINSTER. Gets $100,000 if She Wins a Husband. In these days of suffragette agita. tion it is suprising to hear of a woman who not only believed that woman's place is to the management of the home, but believed it so seriously that it led her into the making of a most unusual will. Such, however, was the case of Mrs. Henrietta Freund, who recently died in Germany, , leaving an estate of $500,000. Of this amount her foster daughter, Miss , Alma Naumann, formerly of Milwaukee, is to receive $100,000 if she wins a nusDana, dui 11 sat? ians iu uu su she is to receive only the interest on that amount. There have been many wills that have forbidden young women to marry under the penalty of losing their inheritance?and they have frequently been ineffective; but it is not often that one requires the legatee to marry in order to come into full possession of a bequest. And yet, considering the decided views of the testator, she made very fair conditions. Miss Naumann, indeed, occupies an exceedingly enviable position. If she prefers not to marry, she will receive the income on the $100,000, and can go her independent way heart whole and fancy free with the assurance that the wolf will not threaten her door. But, if she wishes to assume the expense of a husband, she can do so and come into full possession of the whole sum. Under the circumstances there is no doubt that a great many young men will feel a lively interest in Miss Naumann. No one, of course, would presume to give advice in such a case, but it will doubtless occur to a good many people that the certain income from $100,000 is likely to offer greater assurance of worldly happiness than taking a long chance on the combination of a new husband and $100,000 cash in hand. ?Indianapolis News. City Council Meeting. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon. J. F. Carter, Esq., was elected a member of the' board of public works to succeed Mr. Jno. H. Cope, who resigned. Council also recommended that the board cover the reservoir for the water works, as there had been some complaint about it, and to notify the cotton mills to see that their reservoir was kept in good condition. The license ordinance was revised and passed, and this license takes effect August 1st. First Case of Pellagra. The first case of pellagra in Bamberg county has developed, and the person afflcted with the disease is XTrs Aneip T.,. Mvriek. from near Ulmer. She is a daughter of Mr. .C. A. Milhous, who lives near town, and she is at the home of her father at present. She is being attended by Dr. H. F. Hoover, who yesterday 'phoned Dr. Babcock in Columbia and got from him the treatment used in such cases. It will be remembered that Dr. Babcock made a special study of this disease on his European trip two ydars ago. Flowing Wells in Hampton. Through the courtesy of our young friend, Mr. G. Hampton Jennings, we are enabled to publish a list of the flowing wells in Hampton county, with the capacity of each. Most of these wells were bored by Mr. Jennings or his father, the late J. M.

The only woman in part' II of the court of general sessions was Miss Freda Thomas, a petite and girlish Portia, who was defending George Davis on the charge of burglary in the third degree. Judge Crain, in summing up, praised the young woman's conduct ofMhe case, saying that she had defended the prisoner very ably. The court room was filled to over- * flowing by a big panel of jurors, and \ every spectator gazed with evident < curiosity at the slight figure of the ( girl counsellor. She w.ore a turban \ i oi DiacK spin siraw garnisnea wun a j bunch of cerise quills and a clinging black silk gown, which set off her brilliant complexion to the greatest advantage. This was the second day of the case, and the jury having become accustomed to listening to a girl counsellor, and seeming to be far from concerned as to the fate of the defendant, gazed out of the window, in twelve directions with detached and stony stares. * First, the petite Portia summed up. Her voice made a low and pleasant sound in the room for some time, and then Assistant District Attorney Wilmot took up the tale. He referred first to the fact that it was very seldom that a prisoner at' the bar was defended by a "lady." "I objeet," exclaimed Miss Thomas vehemently. "I object to any reflection on my sex." I am a lawyer." "You are both a lady and a lawyer," said Judge Crain, soothingly.? New York Sun.N Democrats Define Issues. < Washington, July 2.?Defining the j issues on which it expects to con- . duct its campaign this fall, the Democratic congressional committee is- : sued its finaL official pronunciamento to-day since opening its headquarters in this city. It was signed by Representative Lloyd,* of Missouri, che chairman, and sets forth that the issues will be: "The tariff and its consequences; the extravagant expenditures, wrongdoings of officials, graft that is shown to exist in nearly every government branch, and the autocratic ruling of the majority -party." It is contended that these will all be factors "in < bringing about a Democratic victory ; in November." J The committee announcement that . in addition to headquarters here, it would open headquarters in Chicago j on August 1; that its subscription . book would be ready the latter part of July, and that the committee will wage a vigorous contest in a confi- ( dent victory^ in November. ( That conditions generally are very < favorable to the Democrats is asserted by the committee, which declares that the work of the adminis- : tration and of congress during the past two months improved Demo- j cratic success- The statement asserts ] that no one need think there is a ] hope of uniting the Republican fac- 1 tions and that the Republican party is seriously divided and must remain < so until after the November elec- \ tions. { 1 FARMERS ARE BLUE. Incessant Rains Make Them Despair of Good Cotton Crop. Orangeburg, July 4.?The farmers , of this county are exceedingly blue over the present, outlook for the crop ' . - year/ Incessant rains have been falling for the past month and the crop situation is becoming alarming. The corn crop has shown up well and the farmers were boasting over : the happy prospects, but now it is besoming filled with Sap and burning in places because of excess rain. The cotton is over one month behind what it should be at this time and under present conditions cannot i grow. At this time much plowing is 1 needed, fertilizer should be placed as ( a second application, both cannot be done at this wet season. 1 Claims it Was an Accident. , Orangeburg, July 4.?Jerome Bon- < nett, who shot and probably seriously { woAnded Polly Williams, near Springfield, in this county, on last Thursday night, surrendered to the author- , ities at Springfield and was brought to this city and jailed this morning. It is said that because Polly Wil- , liams told Bonnett that she didn't love him, he fired three bullets through her body. Bonnett clams that it was all an accident. The shooting took place on the plantation of L. B. Fulmer, Polly Williams being the daughter of a tenant on the place. The parties concerned are white people.
