Kfr Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Rev. T. G. Herbert leaves next
week to attend the annual conference
in Charleston.
Winter weather we are having this
jpXv~ week, and the coal and wood jnec
| ; are doing business all right.
V* The stores in town generally were
closed Thanksgiving day, and most
people went hunting, as usual on this
I ' The graded school gave holiday
- last Thursday and Friday 6n account
of Thanksgiving. The Fitting SchooJ
gave holiday also.
The cotton market here to-day is
14 5-8 cents the pound, this being
J for good cotton. The receipts are
getting somewhat ligfht now. .
About twenty-flve people went
- from Bamberg to Augusta last Friday
to witness "Ben Hur" at the
theatre in that city Friday night.
Wilson Johns, of Baldoc, was the
winner of first prize in the boys' corn
contest in that county. He raised
187 bushels on one acre, and it seems
jgif;. he is well on the way to making as
jpfe""'.- good a farmer as his father.
?& The Busy Bee class oi, the Metho':BEi
Sunday-school recently collected
3pS.v a box of clothing and money to the
j|f|v amount of $11.00, which has beer
S|?:' sent to the Epworth orphanage ir
j>*\ ' Columbia.
Jjjfc The Herald was one of the few
Bli^establshments which ran full time or
KV Thanksgiving day, and the reason we
Bp'- had to work was that we have to
hustle for what we get. The demands
Sp* of publishing a newspaper in Bam
berg give little room for holidays.
iWm; Mr. Alonzo Gohagan, of the Olar
section, and Miss Florence Cope were
pj happily married lgst Sunday afters'.

minister to remain at one charge
and as a consquence they will lose

sition on the News and Courier to go

tion with the Daily Mail. The bride
pPp:v;has been one of the most popular
young ladies in Bamberg, and it is

The celebrated merger suit against
the Southern Railway is being tried
$!;?>" in Columbia this week. This suit
was brought to annul the lease of the
South Carolina & Georgia Railwa>
. from Branchville to Augusta, it being
PJ-v claimed that as the Southern also operates
the line from Augusta to Coifed
lumbia via Trenton that it is a com|p?\
' peting line and is therefore against

Broxton townships," but were prevented
by the inclemency of the
weather. Two meetings have been
arranged for Tuesday, the 13th instant,
one at Barea at eleveta o'clock
in the morning, and the other at
Smoaks a^ three o'clock in the afternoon,

A Visit to Bamberg.
A day and night recently in Bamberg
was happily spent It was a
Sunday school convention, Supt Way
chief spokesman and general infuser.
We all recited our speeches and the
Orangeburg elder exhorted and expounded
strenuously. Dr. Gilmore,
of Holly Hill, said the elder was at
his best in an extempore speech.
Very edifying and stimulating these
Sunday school conventions are. Our
Bamberg crowd is O. K. The parsonage
is tiptop in its appointments:
large, airy habitation, with Vaterworks
and press-the-button electric
lights. My! it will take a mighty
persuasive power to move our Herct'nHnneri
' there. I snent the
night in the hospitable home of my
good friend C. R. ("Circuit Rider")
Brabham. Evelyn, .Vista, and the
dear lady of the house were all
hearty and happy.?E. A. W. in

Mr. Willie A. H^y, Sr., died at her
home in Govan, at one o'clock Monday

Bold Thief Captured.
T ^hftturAnn
r i tuaj UlgUh ucvncvu w.vv
and ten o'clock Chief of Police S. A.
Hand captured Hobsie Wright, a negro,
while stealing cotton feed from
a car on the side track at the depot
here. The seed belonged to Messrs.
D. M. Eaves and D. Dowling and had
been bought from various parties and
were loaded for shipment. This was
the boldefct robbery we ever heard of,
as the negro had driven his Wagon
hp to the car and was loading it with
seed when Chief Hand captured him.
When it is remembered that there
are several electric lights not much
over one hundred feqt away> it can
be seen how daring was the theft.
The chief took charg^ of Wright and
put him in the guard house, leaving
the wagon at the car and sending the
horse to Smoak's stable. Bond was
arranged for Wright on Saturday, the
amount being fixed at $500, and he
will be tried at the March term of
the court of general sessions. Mr. J.
J. Jones, for whom Wright formerly
worked, signed the bond.
Wright does not bear a good reputation,
and Chief Hand had his eyes
open. He noticed the negro watching
him at the carnival grounds, so
the chief disappeared but went direct
to the depot. He was there waiting
when Wright drove up in ^he wagon
and went to loading seed. The chief
says that Wright wanted a good load,
for after throwing in a few forks
full of seed, he got in the wagon and
tramped them down thoroughly.
While loading Mr. Hand walked up
and Dresenting his pistol told him
to throw up his hands, the order
being promptly complied with.
He states that Wright did not talk
much about getting caught, only remarking:
"Well, Captain, you've got
me." The charge against him is car
breaking and larceny, and he will no
doubt get a sentence of several years
on the gang or in the penitentiary.
The city of Anderson, with commendable
energy and enterprise, has
raised $100,000 for the establishment
of a college for girls in that city.
This fund will be offered to the State
Baptist convention which meets in
Laurens this week. There is some
talk of moving the Greenville Female
College to Anderson, and if the convention
accepts the^offer of the Anderson
people, it seems this is w'hat
they will have to do, as the two cities
are too close together to establish a
college in each place. r

Invited to Berea.
Mr. V. E. McCormack, of the
Smoaks section, has written us stating
that there will be a meeting at
Berea church on Tuesday, December
13th, to discuss the annexation of
Warren townuhip to Bamberg county.
He states that a delegation from
Walterboro will be present and asks
that a, delegation from Bamberg be
present to discuss the question.
Fitting School's Thanksgiving.
The Carlisle Fitting School was
the scene of a gala occasion on
Wednesday evening of last week In
the shape of a Thanksgiving-eve re
ceptiott. The school auditorium was
tastefully decorated, and draped in
the national colors, in fact the room
was completely transformed into an
ideal reception hall. Quite a number
of the friends of the students
were present and together they made
merry until the close of the evening.
During the course of the evening delightful
refreshments were Berved,
and from time to time the couples
repaired to the punch bowl which
was presided over by two attractive
seniors, Misses Folk and Hodges.
On the following day rules were

dined at the boys' hall, where a
bounteous Thanksgiving dinner was
served, by Mrs. Beach, the beloved

A Question of Credit.
At the credit men's dinner, which
took place recently in this city, the
New York Tribune, one of the veterans
told this story: "In the reconstruction
days a man from a Mississippi
valley town came to our Western
house one day. We had sold him
[ befye in a small way / and he hlways
paid. He had enlarged his business
he told us, and wanted a bigger line
than usual, but before making his
selections he wanted us to give him
references. We expressed surprise at
such an unheard of demand, but he
said: 'My two brothers-in-law have
gone in with me and they're very
particular as to whom they do business
with.' So we sent him to our
bank and he came back sad, we were
all right, picked out a big; line of
goods and in 60 days he 'busted.' We
couldn't collect a dollar. Two years
later I met the man in Cincinnati
and told him we had become reconciled
to our loss. 'But will you please
tell me,' I asked, 'why did you want
references to our credit?' 'Well, you
see,' he answered, 'I wanted to know
I if you iould stand it.' "
Wendling Trial Begun. .
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 28.?Five
jurors were selected here to-day to
try Joseph Wendling, chargeu with
the murder of 8-year-old Alma Kell
|ner on December 10, 1909. The venire

Wendling, who was janitor at the
church where the Kellner child had
gone to mass, is charged with having
assaulted and murdered the girl and
then hidden her body in the church
basement. Portions of the child's
body were found months later and
after Wendling had mysteriously disappeared.
Wendling was arrested in San
Francisco after a chase of 11,000
miles.
Two of the chief witnesses for the
prosecution are Detective Burke, of
San Francisco, who arrested Wendling,
and Mrs. Cora Munea, of Hume,
Mo., from whom information was received
which led to Weridling's arrest.

Illinois Ranks Third.
Washington, Nov. 28.?With an actual
population of 5,638,591 and a
gain in the list ten years of almost
17 per cent as shown by the announcement
to-day of the result of
the recent census, Illinois is assured
continuance as the third State of the
Union.
Only New York and Pennsylvania
outrank her, while Ohio,- which occupied
fourth place falls almost a
million below.
The increase in Illinois is somewhat
greater than that of any of the Middle
Western States, whose population
so far have been announced.
The announcement for Illinois
merely emphasizes the fact the great
gains are in the city. Of the 817,041
additions to the population of that
State, 486,708 were in Chicago alone.
Chicago is shpwn to possess about
two-fifths of the State's population.
The State should gain at least four
congressmen if the proposed new apportionment
law should be based as
at present.
Seek Pardon for Banks.
Parmellus Banks, the white man
who was located by Governor Ansel
in the State penitentiary, a few days
ago, and given' a government check
for the money allowed Spanish%
American war veterans, was sent up
from Anderson county, and has now
served about four years of his life
sentence. He entered a plea of guilty
to the murder of his brother-in-law,
an understanding having been had
with then Solicitor J. E. Boggs that
the verdict would be murder with a
recommendation for mercy.
At the time of the killing, about
four years ago, Banks was making
his home with his brother-in-law, a
man named Fortner, half way between
Williamston and Pelser. He
was due Fortner money for board,
and had gone to the house to get his
trunk, saying he intended to leave.
He was told that the money would
have to be paid first, but refused and
started away with his luggage.
There was a tussle in the house
over a gun, and later Banks got the
trunk and dragging it to a buggy on
the roadside, Fortner following him,
when the shooting took place, Fortner
being killed almost instantly.
Banks was arrested by Chief of Police
W. N. Scott, who was then deputy
sheriff, and under whom as a
lieutenant, he had served during the
Spanish-American war, in Company
K, Second South Carolina regiment.
The. killing occurred a short' time
before the convening of the court of
sessions, and when the case was
called. Banks having no attorney,
Messrs. E. W. Long and K. P. Smith
were appo'nted to defend him. Later,
however, the plea of guilty, as outlined
above, was arranged between
the prisoner, his attorneys and the
solicitor, so that the case never came
to trial?that is,#mo witnesses were
examined.
Banks is crippled, having suffered
some injury to his ankle, and in addition
is weak-minded. Mr. K. P.
Smith who was one of his attorneys
four years ago, says he expects shortly
to make an effort to secure a pardon
for him.!
