City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, but only routine business was transacted. As the negro Myers has been put . forth for congress again, every Democratic voter should go to the polls and vote next Tuesday. Several cars of beef cattle arrived here this week from Tennessee for 3^r. W. I. Johns. He will fatten these on his large farm near town. We hear that the citizens of Branchville are talking about coming into Bamberg county. Let them come ahead. We will be glad to have them. : Messrs. G. Frank Bamberg, J. Aldrich Wyman, W. O. Tatum, Henry F. Bamberg, W. M. Brabham, and J. L. Quattlebaum left here Monday afternoon for Jacksonboro on a deer hunt. Miss Sadie Murphy, aged fourteen years, died at Midway October 20th, 1910, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Murphy. The I funeral was conducted by Rev. O. J. Frier, of Bamberg. The weather turned cold suddenly last week and there was plenty of frost and ice. The cold and frost ^ put an end to any hopes for cotton growing any more in this section, and all vegetation has been nipped. Over1 coats and fires have been comfortable for several days. The case of J. A. Tant against the Southern Railway has been decided by the State Supreme Court in favor of Mr. Tant. He won the case in the circuit court, being given damages of several hundred dollars by the jury, - and the railroad appealed. The road will now have to pay the money. Mr. *- Tant suea ior uanmges iui uciug yu*. &. off the train at Bamberg. He had been to Fort Motte, and was on his v . way to his home near Denmark, fife? v There is evidently a desire on the part of many people to change, as will fee noted by several movements on foot in various counties where cer|.>v tain territory wants to go into another county. We notice that Sumv merville is agitating the question of H going into Charleston county, that town now being in Dorchester. We v also understand that Branchville peo0 pie are talking about coming into Bamberg county, while the people of S- Warren township, in Colleton county, are making preparations to come into Bamberg. Napier and Duke Arrested. By reference to a news article jgfS.; from Charlotte, N. C., printed in an11* other column, it will be noted that Napier and Duke, the white men who ; : were arrested in this county some ffijpv. months ago for swindling, were arrested in that city last week. It will be remembered that these men at^ tempted to work the diamond swindling game at Olar, but were pursued and arrested at Fairfax. They were pfv brought to Bamberg and put in jail, or rather Napier was, Duke having made his escape when the men. were -found at Fairfax. Napier secured his raV: ' release by putting up a cash bond for $1,000, and now that he has been arrested by the United States authorities at Charlotte, it is not likeit? lv that he will be tried here. How I ever, should he not appear for trial ' , his bond will be forfeited to the county. Ater Napier was released on bond here, it was learned that the men had been operating this swindle at several points, and the , express company offered a reward for theU arrest. Mrs. Ida D. Kline Dead. At Hunter's Chapel Sunday afternoon, October 30th, Mrs. Ida D. Kline, wife of N. C. Kline, of Midway, was buried, Rev. J. Earle Freeman conducting the funeral services. The little infant that came to her bosom just two days before her death still lives, while her husband and another child, together with a large circle of relatives and friends, are left to mourn. J.

Smoak attended the union meeting at Edisto church last Saturday and Sunday. They report a good meeting. The churches of this division were very well represented. Good congregations greeted each service, and the * -11 il * 1A nospiiauiy was mi mai wuiu L/t asked. Rev. J. R. Fizer, of Branchville, the pastoral supply, seemed to have matters pretty well in hand. Rev. B. F. Allen preached the introductory sermon and Rev. J. E. Freeman the missionary sermon. The discussions on the financial side of church and denominational life were earnestly and we trust profitably rendered by the appointees. An offering of over $15.00 was taken for State missions. A very interesting program was carried out by our B. Y. P. U. and Sunbeam Band here, Sunday night before a very good audience. The church house was beautifully decorated with ferns and chrysanthemums, and a large blackboard statement of the motto, aim and needs of our State mission board formed a part of the arrangement. The program of songs, essays and talks was well rendered. The Sunbeams deserve special mention for the part they took in making the program a success. The mission acrostic on South Carolina, followed by the singing of "Onward n-ui- ? Knnnfifnllv unnsuail isuiuicis, waa uuiuiij | impressive. A nice little offering was made for State missions by the congregation. The B. Y. P. U. will meet hereafter, until further notice, at 3:30 p. m. on Sunday afternoons. Suit Against Coast Line. As a result of the rows on an Atlantic Coast Line excursion train between Orangeburg and Augusta some weeks ago, the Spires brothers, of the Cope section, have entered suit against the railway for heavy damages. J. A. Spires asks for $25,000 damages, and J. S. Spires asks for $15,000. It will be remembered that one of the men was'severely cut and the other was shot by a man named Dukes, who, after the shooting, which occurred while the train was at Denmark, came on to Bamberg and surrendered to the sheriff. He was in jail here for some time, being finally released on bond. The complaint alleges that the railroad allowed drunk and disorderly persons to ride on the train and did not provide sufficient officers to keep order on the train. Death of Mrs. X. C. Kline. Mrs. Ida D. Kline, wife of Mr. N. C. Kline, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hunter, at Woodlands, a short distance below Midway, last Saturday afternoon, after an illness of only a few days. The burial took place Sunday afternoon at Hunter's Chapel Baptist church, the services being conducted by Rev. J. Earle Freeman. Mrs. Kline was thirty-one years old, and was born in the Farrell's X Roads section of this county. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hunter, and was married to Mr. N. C. Kline six years ago. She is survived by her husband and two small children, one a girl of some years, and a boy, the latter being an infant of only a few days. Mrs. Kline was a good wife and mother, a kind neighbor and true friend. She will be sadly missed in the home, and the stricken husband has the sincere sympathy of his many friends in his sore affliction. i Stobo J. Simpson, Esq., one of the prominent lawyers and citizens of the State, died at his home in Spartanburg last week. Tant Wins His Case. The State Supreme Court has affirmed a judgment of $475 against the Southern Railway company on account of alleged breach of contract by- which J. A- Tant, of Bamberg, was deprived of his rights as a Dassenger on one of the company's! trains. Tant got on the train at Fort Motte and wanted to go to Denmark. The agent, he alleges, at Fort Motte told him he could ride to Denmark for $1. On the train the conductor wanted to charge him at a higher rate and when he refused had him put off at Bamberg. As the court held a contract had been made between the passenger and one of the agents of the company the $475 verdict for damages stands. Tnis included punitive damages as well as actual. , ; < ' ?

One year ago the ladies of the civic league planned a thorough cleaning of Restland cemetery, asking the aid of all who had an interest in this our oldest cemetery, whether as lot-holders or through love for this the last resting place of some loved one, to help in this work. This appeal met with an enthusiastic response, as a general thing, while some forgot the day?and they were needed. Again the ladies have appointed a cleaning day?Wednesday, November 9th?on which day they ask the co-operation of every citizen of Bamberg in anyway interested in this hallowed spot. Let all who possibly can, put their squares in perfect order on the day before the general cleaning, so that they can help on Wednesday with the unkept portion. Several wagons will be needed?who will furnish them? Let every person who owns a lot send a man to do the heavy work and let the ladies go to plan this work and lend helping hands also. Someone will be present who is capable of directing the work. Surely no one will forget the day, Wednesday, November 9th, and allow others to do their part in this most commendable civic work.

In Columbia last Thursday was. held a meeting to organize a white j Republican party for South Carolina. The meting was called by Capt. Jno. G. Capers, national executive committeeman from this State, and the organization was composed of white men only. The negro is to be eliminated from politics in South Caro lina it seems, ana one 01 tne noteworthy things about the organization of the new party is that it was not composed of federal office holders. The meeting was held in the Columbia theatre, and the officers elected were: L. W. C. Blalock, chairman; I. H. Norris, vice chairman; D. H. Wallace, secretary and treasurer. J In opening the convention Capt. Capers made an address in which he said, among other things, that the convention was not called at the suggestion of the national administration, and the fact that there were no federal office holder^ as officers of the meeting proved that fact. How ever there was no antagonism to the administration in this new movement. That the convention was held in answer to a call from the people of South Carolina, because there was not existing a Republican organization in this State. Capt. Capers said the gathering was independent of federal patronage, it being intended to organize a high-class opposition party which he believed would develop so as to be representative of the brains, culture, and business interests of the State. There were a good number of delegates present, many of them being representative men and citizens of their respective sections. Eye Specialist. Dr. A. 8.
