Boys' Corn Club. The boys' corn club held a meeting at the court house Saturday morning, April 1st, at 10 o'clock. The speakers selected for this 'meeting were Mir. B. D. Carter and Mr. J. A. Wyman, two prominent young laywers of Bamberg. Mr. Carter has spent a good part of his life on the farm, and is a graduate of Clemson in the agricultural course, therefore his speech was very interesting. 'He first compared a boy raised in the country to one raised in the city, calling attention to the fact that the country boy has more energy and strength than the town boy. Then he told how useless it is to try to farm with even an agricultural education, unless one has the practical experience?always the best teacher in any occupation. On the other hand, he said that a man who has not had the advantage of a college education may succeed if he will only apply himself properly. Mr. Carter spoke only 20 minutes, but the boys agreed that their time could not have been spent more pleasantly or profitably?not even by working in their corn. Mr. Wyman, our next speaker, spoke mainly about the benefits of an education to a man following any kind of business. Mr. Wyman very aptly expressed how well it is to have an education, yet how sad it is for a well educated man to acquire bad habits. He* showed that it is very hard to "break off from" a habit once formed. An education, he said, makes a person broad minded; helps one to get another's point of view and to agree with him on the subject under discussion. Too, he thinks a man with an education is better fitted to enjoy life upon this earth, the Lord has given us. Again his thoughts bore on bad habits, and how an education helps a man to see the fv?iiv and daneer of practicing them. Mr. Wyman closed his address by showing how much easier it is for an educated man to prosper than for an uneducated one. He spoke only 30 minutes, but I feel safe in saying that the boys would willingly have listened to so interesting a speaker for three hours. % After the speeches the club held a short business meeting, then adjorunshort business meeting, then adjourned, having decided to hold the next meeting July 1, at 11 o'clock.

Kearse, lost her life from burns. Mrs. Kearse was'bathing and dressing the children near the fire, preparatory to going away to spend the day, while Mr. Kearse was down at the lot hitching up the horse. In some way her clothing caught fire, and when her husband, hearing her aproflms (reached her and Dut out the flames, she was terribly burned. She lingered until that afternoon, when death relieved her sufferings. The burial took place Monday. Mrs. Kearse was a Miss Darlington before her marriage, and leaves a husband and two small children, and other relatives. U. D. C. Notes. The F. M. Bamberg Chapter U. D. C.will hold its April meeting on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th, at 4 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. B. D. Bronson, the hostesses being Mrs. Bronson and Mrs. H. A. Wright. April is the month set apart by the U. D. C. in the entire Southland as Shiloh month and at this month's meeting every chapter will have a Shiloh program and make a contribution to the Shiloh monument fund?a fund which the U. D. C. are raising in order to erect a fitting monument on the battle field at Shiloh, Tenn., where 10,000 Confederate soldiers axe buried in trenches; 4,000 in one shallow trench, where their bleaching bones cry aloud against the injustice and neglect of Southern manhood and womanhood. The program will consist of a paper on the battle of Shiloh, with questions on the battle, and promises to be a most interesting afternoon. Members who neglected paying their dues ($1.00) at the Mych meeting will either carry or send dues at this meeting. Those members who have not received their certificates of membership may obtain them at this meeting. There will be discussion on the plans for memorial day celebration, May 10th, at which time the laying of the corner stone for Bamberg county's Confederate monument will take place. Crosses of honor will be bestowed on veterans who have applied for them, and the graves of our Confederate dead will be decorated by the school children and the ladies of the chapter. We want every man and woman in the county and neighboring counties, who are interested in the monument, to be present on this occasion. Graded School Entertainment.

Norman Walker died at the home of his father at Appleton, Barnwell county, Monday night of this week. He had been ill with tuberculosis for two years or more, and was in the West for a while, but ur til recently he has been in a sanita rium at Asheville, N. C. A few month ago he was down on a visit to relatives, looking very much better, and it was hoped then that he would recover his health, but later, after going back to Asheville, he suffered a complete breakdown, and about three weeks ago he was brought home, as it was evident that the end was near. Mr. Walker was well-known and had many friends in Bamberg, hav ing married Miss Elise Bamberg, a daughter of the late Gen. F. M. Bamberg, and she with one little daughter survive him. The body was brought to Bamberg on yesterday morning's train, and the interment was at Southend cemetery. A number of his Masonic brethren from Allendale lodge escorted the body here, and they were met at the depot by the members of Oman lodge of this place. Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, conducted the religious services, and the body was interred with Masonic honors. The pall bearers were: Henry J. Brabnam, Jr., jh.. w. Jonnson, J. M. Grimes, G. O. Simmons, A. M. Brabham, and Edgar L. Price. Mr. Walker was about 32 years old. He attended Clemson college, ai>d was one of the famous athletes of that institution. Of fine physique, it was little thought that dread disease would ever attack one of his build. He was an exceedingly popular man in the social, business and fraternal world. He was a Mason, Knights of Pythias, and Elk. He was a son of Mr. R. H. Walker, of Appteton, and leaves a father, mother, sister and brother. Rate Matter Settled. Greenville, April 1.?According to a statement made-to-night by Lewis W. Parker, the fight between the cotton manufacturers and the railroads for a more convenient schedule of rate on cotton piece goods between interior points and Charleston has been practically settled. Mr. Parker's statement in effect is that a settlement has been reached between the mill men and the railroads on two questions; one is the through rate between South Carolina mills and New York, and an agreement on this makes 45 cents per 100 a maximum rate. It is stipulated that when the rate exceeds 45 cents it is to be reduced to 45 cents. The other question is that of the use of Charleston as a port. In order to facilitate this use it is agreed that on shipments of goods on all through rates provision for stopping in transit will be made enabling goods to be stored in Charleston and distributed from there without extra charge. This is a right similar to the goods concentration privilege which has now been extended to cotton as far ast regards shipments to CharlestonIt* is also stated that this settlement will probably lead to the building of a large warehouse for storing and distributing cotton piece goods in Charleston. The agreement between the roads and the mill men practically puts to an end the matter before the railroad commission. Stranger Than Fiction. Were the story of Samuel Burdette woven into a novel, it would be pronounced fiction of the most crude type. It is the truth, nevertheless; and there are many who rejoice that vindication has come, even though it be 30 years late, and that suspicion has been lifted from a worthy man that he may stand sportless before his fellow-men in his declining days. Thirty years ago Samuel Burdette, a registery clerk in the postoffice at Peoria, 111., put a package of registered letters containing $3,500 into a mail sack and billed it to its destination. When the sack was opened the package was missing, and suspicion fell upon Burdette. Owing to the confidence reposed in him by his superiors, Burdette was not prosecuted, but was retained in his position for two years longer, when he entered the ministry and was sent to Asia as a missionary. For several years past he has been pastor of a church in Springfield, Mass., loved and honored, but occasionally reminded of the missing registered package. A few weeks ago a veteran mail sack found its way into the government repair shop in San Francisco, and underneath the lining in the bottom was found the package, whprs it had been hidden from sight for 30 years. Improbable as the story is, its truth has been vouched for by the postal authorities.?Nashville Advocate.

Stranger Slain with Shotgun in Greenville. Greenville, Ap?ril 3.?A strange nOgro man, supposed to be named Frank' Gary, judging' from the name on a tax receipt of Hart county, Georgia, was shot and instantly killed about 11 o'clock last night by a negro supposed to be Gamp Smith. The dead negro was en route to church with a young negress. The i\ parties met on the sidewalk on Green avenue, a double-barreled shotgun v ^ was brought into action and the strange negro fell to the ground with a hole torn in his breast.

'V The Charleston Evening Post says "the survey of the Edisto rivSr witlfc a view of shortening and improving plj navigation between Charleston and Orangeburg, will be begun, it was ^ stated Friday at the United States ' engineer's office, as soon as the intracoasta survey is completed and ?| then actively pressed to completion.1; The work will be in charge of W.

He declared that hundreds of colored settlers had emigrated from the Upited States and at the rate the , movement was growing there soon would be thousands of them planted in the northwest He asserted that they are not suited to Canadian conditions and would not be desirable settlers. The government, he de-. clared, should do something to discourage the movement. Mr. Oliver, minister of the interior, replied that the Canadian laws do not prohibit the entry of negro settlers and that the government could only administer law. While the situation was being carefully watched the government had not yet seen fit to take drastic action. Officers Shot From Ambush. Asheville, N. C., April 3.?With ' Nathan and Miller Gunter under arrest on the charge of retailing whiskey without a license, Deputy Sheriffs Briggs and Ayres of Madison county were cautiously proceeding toward Marshall, the county seat, when, in a dense patch of woodland, they were fired upon by two brothers of the prisoners and seriously wounded. The prisoners escaped with their' kinsmen. Deputy Ayers received a load of buckshot in the shoulder and fell from his horse. Deputy Briggs was shot in the face with buckshot and also feli. As the two officers lay in the road, Riley and Elisha Gunter,, brothers of the prisoners came from their hiding places and liberated the men under arrest. All four made their escape. To-night they are believed to be in the vicinity of Newport, Tenn., and the sneriff of Madison county, with a posse and bloodhounds, is searching for them. Ehrhardt, S. C., Feb. 9, 1911. Mr. M.
