Thursday, August 3,1911.
The time will come in South Caro-*
Ilina, unless there is an awakening,
when public affairs will be controlled
absolutely by the railroads and like
corporations. It is not far distant,
. . .
in our opinion.
Some of the newspapers are making
something of a martyr of Mr. L.
M. Green because he has been detached
from the pay roll of thei News
and Courier. However, he'll find that
their sympathy will not do him near
so much good as the salary he has
been receiving.
(( The business league has done
much for Bamberg during the one
year of its existence. Every business
man in the city should support the
league with his money and his personal
efforts in order that the usefulness
of the organization to our busir
ness interests may be increased.

jfev done in Bamberg this week in the
|p? matter of claying the principal
y?sheets of the city. A number of citi?*
zens are furnishing their wagons and
If'-' drivers for a couple of days and the
I^V city is having the clay dug and the
la,-wagons loaded. In this way the costj
IP does not come heavy on any one, and
||>>' yet at the same time the town and its
||p citizens are being greatly benefitted.
|i?': ^ It is the nicest display of what a
fef mbody of public-sprited citizens work&
ing together can accomplish that we
have seen in some time, and we are

the line of pulling together. This
spirit will make Bamberg the best
town anywhere. Everybody came into
the plan with enthusiaspa, and the
work of the committee was made a
pleasure by the hearty response of
all our citizens.
The co-operation shown by our
citizens, as well as their public spirit,
in the matter o? claying the streets,
is the best indication we have seen
in some time for the growth of Bamberg.
Not a man refused his aid and
co-operation, but all willingly and
gladly contributed teams and drivers
for this purpose, and those who could
not furnish teams were only too glad
to ocntribute money in aid of the
undertaking. This is the sort of spirit
we need to make Bamberg grow.
This movement shows what can be
done by co-operation. While the work
would be expensive if undertaken by
the city alone, still, under the plan
* * " ?3 " riTia will foal

the small amount contributed. Let
us pursue this same idea in all pub?>
>, lie matters. The get-together and
pull-together-spirit is what we need,
% and we are gratified that our citizens
i are pursuing the policy.
; . Work Going Forward.
Work on the railroad from Bamberg
to Ehrhardt is getting on fine.
There is a large force of hands at
work, and the grading is finished
about seven miles below town. The
fiorht r?f TT9v is out out for a s:ood
?:,: "Ouv v ? _
distance ahead, and most of the worst
grading has been finished. If the
present rate keeps up, the grading
force will he in Ehrhardt in a few
gr; - "weeks. There is also a large force
engaged in cutting cross ties, and in
/ fact the work is being pushed all
K ' along the line. Estimates have al?
ready been made by contractors on
the trestle work, and these contracts
? V -will be let at an early date. The
company in charge of the construction
wants to finish the road as soon
|-v # as possible, and they are taking ad?
\ wantage of the recent dry weather to
work out the worst places on the line.

WEDDING AT DENMARK.
Mr. A. M. Brabham and Miss Edith
Rice Happily Married.
Married on Tuesday evening, August
1st, in the Baptist church at
Denmark, Miss Edith Clarice Rice to
Mr. Angus McKay Brabham, Rev.
B. F. Allen officiating.
And in the simple story told thereby,
many a friend and relative will
remember one of the most happy of
such occasions. In the evening hour,
when the west is broken into bars,
of orange, gold and gray, gone is the
sun and yet the stars not come, nor
night infolds the day, the friends and
relatives throng the church to witness
the beautiful event.
The sweet voiced tones of the violin
as they speak out boldly, accompanied
by the more gentle notes
of the organ, anounced the arrival of
the briday party; first came the ushers,
Messrs. Cecil Rice and M. W.
Brabham entering together and Dr.
V. W. Brabham and Mr. Walter Rice
entering on the other side. Just
preceding these, the little ribbon
girls, Cecile and Cornelia Huggins
and Vista and Evelyn Brabham lead
the way. Miss Jenkins with Mr. J.
F. Carter; Miss Emma Owens with
Mr. E. H. Henderson; Miss Ina Califf
with Mr. Norman Kirsch; Miss Lynn
Goolsby with Mr. F. M. Moye; these
make up the party; following them,
the groom with his brother, Mr. C.
R. Brabham, Jr., enters, while down
the other aisle, the bride approaches
with her brother, Mr. Charles W.
Rice. As the bride nears the sacred
altar, the notes of the violin become
softer and sweeter and gently recede
into quietude as the minister begins
to ispeak. And there the bride and
groom pledge their troth, entering
the life that leads melodious days,
making their lives a prayer. Everything
is beautiful in the simplicity
of the occasion; there in the front
we see the mound of Sprengeri and
asparagus ferns, and other decorations
in keeping. An<f* adorning the
scene is the bridal party, the attendants
with their simple costumes,
the young ladies with white lingerie
dresses and the gentlemen in regulation
evening dresses; the bride with
a beautiful wedding gown of white
satin with trimmings of baby Irish
and pearls entrain.
"And as the bright sun glorifies the
sky
So is her face illumined with her
avo "
Perhaps the poet had ih mind such
a bride when he penned these words:
"Eyes that could see her on this wedding
day
Might find it hard to turn another
way;
She had a pensive beauty; yet no^
sad
Rather like minor cadences that glad
The hearts of little birds amid spring
boughs."
The maids carried bouqeuts of asters
with ferns, while the bride carried
a shower bouquet of roses and
ferns.
I Quietly the violin and organ re|
sumed the chord, and the party pass!
ed from the sanctuary. Peacefully
[ the quiet stars came out, one after
one, the holy twilight fell upon the
scene, and the summer day was done.
The wedding party with relatives
were driven to the home of the
bride's parents where they were given
an informal reception. The gifts received
were there viewed and it was
I a collection of beautiful presents
| which they were privileged to see.
The gifts of silver were especially
many and handsome; other beautiful
gifts consisted of cut glass and china.
After the bridal couple had board
ed the west hound train for Augusta,
the bridal* party returned to the Rice
home and spent an evening of pleasant
pastime, Mr. Arthur Pregnal and
others furnishing music. The music
there was a continuation of the same
that Mr. Pregnal and Miss Edna
Steadman had so beautifully rendered
at the church for the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Brabham have gone
to the mountains of Virginia, where
they will spend their honeymoon.
They will return to Bamberg the latter
part of August and,will make
their home with Mrs. Janie C. Lewis
on Midway avenue, near the Carlisle
Fitting School.
The bride as Miss Rice was an unusually
popular young lady in her
home town and at Limestone college
and wherever else she was known;
and this is in no sense a use of the
stereotyped expression of poularity;
with her disposition of unaffectedness,
and her personal charm, she
was most happy in winning friends.
Sho is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. F. Rice, of Denmark. She will
be heartily welcomed to Bamberg,
where she already has many friends.
Mr. Brabham, the groom, is one of
the most popular young men of the
erftire community; having lived here
all of his life; he is well known and
has the confidence of every one. He
is a member of the firm of C. R.
Brabham's Sons. He is well known
over the State; a graduate of Wofford
College and a young man of sterling
character.

NEGRO DROWNED.
Body Found in McCall's Mill Pond
at Bennettsvi lie.
Bennettsville, July 30. ? News
reached the city last night that Harry
Morgan, a negro, had been drowned
in McCall's mill pond, three miles
from here. The body was rescued
this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Magistrate
J. P. Gibson, acting coroner,
with Sheriff Patterson proceeded to
the pond and waited until the body
was found. A jury was organized,
who, in company with Dr. J. F. Kinney,
viewed and examined the body.
Three witnesses were examined and
the jury rendering the following verdict:
"We find that Harry Morgan
came to his death by accidentally
drowning."
The testimony delivered was that
Morgan for several months had served
as porter in Tiner's barber shop
and yesterday afternoon Mr. Tiner
and Morgan went to the pond, got
in a boat and spent the afternoon in
the water fishing. About 7 o'clock
Morgan, who could not swim, fell out
into the wrater, the boat capsizing. Mr.
Tiner came near drowning while attempting
to save Morgan. Morgan
was a stranger, having come to the
city from Canada. Mr. Tiner bore
the expense of burying him.
May Lynch Negro.
\ "
Brinkley, Airk., July 29.?Hundreds
of citizens are scouring the
country for a negro, Will Hunt, alias
Six Shooter, who shot and killed J. J.
Baker, a rotary engineer in the employ
of the Robe-Blake Tobacco company
at the plant at Dagmar, five
miles from here, at 7 o'clock this
evening. Feeling is so intense that it
is feared a lynching will be inevitable
in the event the negro is captured.
The negro entered the grounds of
the company without warning, and
when Baker asked him to leave, it is
said the black drew his revolver and
emptied the contents into the body of
the white man, death resulting instantly.
Immediately after the news of the
killing spread bloodhounds were sent
for from Forrest City and Memphis,
and posses were at once formed to
hunt the negro down.
POURED WHISKEY INTO SEWER.
Big Quantity of Liquor and Beer Destroyed
in Lexington.
Lexington, July 29.?Ninety-two
quarts of whiskey and five hundred
bottles of beer Were made to flow
through the sew^r pipes at the county
jail yesterday afternoon under the
supervision of Sheriff Patrick Henry
Corley and Deputy Sheriff Sim J. Miller.
It took about an hour to complete
the job, eight or ten hands being
busily employed "popping" corks.
This was the big lot of whiskey seiz
- * ' ? "* * i Jnnnt
ed Dy tne snerm at j-iexmgtuu ucpui,
several weeks ago, and which was
never returned to the parties to
whom it had been consigned..
There is another lot being held at
the jail waiting for the required
length of time to elapse. The Lexington
officers have been vigilant in
the discharge of their duty, and their
efforts are being doubly rewarded.
THINK LONG TRANCE BROKEN.
Doctors Watch Girl who Awakens
After 105-Day Sleep.
Vandalia, 111., July 30.?After
sleeping almost continuously lor one
hundred and five days, Miss Hazel
Schmidt, the 18-year-old girl whose
strange case has puzzled physicians
for weeks, was awake* for five hours
to-day and ate three meals. She said
she felt no ill effects from her slumber.
Attending physicians say the girl's
trance is broken and that she will
soon be in a normal condition.
, DEATH SENTENCE FOR BOY.
Young Mexican Convicted Six Days
After Slaying Girl.
Pecos, Tex., July 29.?Lon Martinez,
the Mexican youth, was convicted
at 2 o'clock this afternoon by
a jury on the charge of murdering
Miss Emma Brown, at Saragosso, last
Saturday. The death penalty was assessed.
A crowd attended the trial
and hundreds shook hands with
Judge Isaacs for his prompt work.
When Martinez attacked the girl,
she fought desperately, tie stauDea
her several times and fled. A posse
was secured and captured him within
a few hours. Feeling reached that
pitch that the authorities asked for
State rangers to prevent a lynching.
Mexicans at El Paso, aroused by
the threats of vengeance upon the
young man, engaged an attorney to
defend him. Counsel endeavored to
show his client was but 16 years of
age and hence not a subject for capital
punishment under the laws of
Texas. Evidence was introduced to
show him to be over 18 years old.
But six days elapsed between the
commission of the crime and the conviction.
5 or 6 doses "666" will cure any
case of Chills and Fever. Price, 25c.
