WATSON FIGURES INCREASE.
State's Population Greater by 28,000
Since Federal Census.
Columbia, Oct. 1.?According to
an estimate sent by Commissioner E.
J. Watson to-day to the New York
World, for use in the World's Almanac,
the population of South Carolina
to date is 1,542,912. According to
the United States census, taken for
1910, the population of South Carolina
was then 1,514,000.
The estimate by the department of
agriculture, commerce and industries
is made each year and along
iinoa r?f fh? mnst. careful means
possible, other than a direct count.
All the factorrs which tend to increase
and decrease population are taken into,
account and their percentages
worked out in as nearly a correct
manner as is possible. If Commissioner
Watson's figures are correct
they indicate an increase of population
of about 28,000 during the past
year and a half.
This figure is supplied every year
for the World Almanac by Commissioner
Watson, the irequest coming
through the governor.

Men and Happenings.
The fiftieth anniversary of woman's
organized work for foreign
missions will be celebrated in Charleston
October 17-18.
The students of Newberry college
have abolished hazing. Acting on
their own initiative they held a meeting
and voted it out, a remarkable
incident in college circles. No attempt
at coercion was made by the
faculty. * According
to the report of the cen

were ginned from the growth of 1911
prior to September 25 and against 2,312,974
for the same date last year.
In South Carolina 339,111 bales were
ginned this year against 160,521 last
year. The report gives the condition
of the crop as 71.1 of normal."
One of Governor Blease's friends
in Spartanburg wrote him a letter in
reference to calling out the militia
during the recent street car strike
in Spartanburg, telling him he made
a mistake, but the governor gave
him no satisfaction. In a rather curt
letter the governor stated that he
only did his duty and had no apologies
to make.
Governor Blease has refused to allow1
the Governor's Guards to attend
a celebration in Atlanta, and he has
also written Supt. Bond of the Citadel
that the cadets of that institution
must not attend. However, the Citadel
authorities had already decided
not to participate in the celebration
on account of the expense attached.
It is stated that Gov. Blease threatened
to have Supt. Bond removed if
the cadets went to Atlanta, but the
governor has not the power of re

governor took this action because the
newspapers had a great deal to say
about his not being invited to Atlanta.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
On'and after this date the
subscription price of The Bamberg
Herald is $1.50 a year.
Persons who have paid in advance
for the paper will not be
affected by the change in price
until the time they have paid
for expires. Of course we
could not change the rate on
them after they had made a con
tract with 113 to tarnish me paper
at $1.00 a year and had paid
for it. The new rate will apply
to new subscriptions and old.
subscriptions as they expire.
The rate now is $1.50* a year,
75 cents for six months, or 50
cents for three months. Please
remember this. Subscriptions
must be paid in advance.
This increase in price is made
necessary by the advance in
everything which enters into
our business, and we cannot
publish such a paper as The
Herald at one dollar a year and
live. Onr expenses have gone
up more than fifty per cent,
and a dollar paper is no longer
possible. The Herald is worth
$1.50, too. It is all printed at
home, and gives more reading
matter than any weekly in this
section, and we feel sure that
none of our readers will object
to the increase in price, but that
all will realize the justice and
necessity of it.

KINGSTREE MAN A SUICIDE.
Sam Brown Takes Fatal Dose of Morphine?Reason
Unknown.
/
Kingstree, Oct. 2.?Sam Brown,
junion member of the firm of Brown
& Brown, of this place, committed
suicide last night at about 11 o'clock,
in his room over O. H. Patrick's
store, by taking one-eighth of an
ounce of morphine. Before committing
the rash deed he wrote three
letters, one addressed to his mother,
another to his brother and partner,
J. M. Brown, and one to Miss Viola
Gamble, besides a note unaddressed.
The note read as follows: "It is
now 8' o'clock; has been one hour
since I took last dose; still feeling
fine. Men can say what they please
but it takes nerve to do this. Goodbye.
Sam." 1
To his brother, John, he told what
to do with his watch and other effects;
said it was his intention to
*
help him through the busy season,
before taking his life, but decided
to do so now. He told his mother
not to grieve for him, as he was better
off.
To Editor Wolfe, of the County
Record, he said that people would
say: "Woman in the case; but this
was not the case."
The community is at a loss to ac
count for this rash act. He apparently
as well as usual yesterday
and because of his failure to open
up the store to-day investigations
developed, with the above results. A
coroner's jury was empanelled and a
verdict rendered to the effect that
'the deceased came to his death by an
overdose of morphine at his own
hands.
Mr. Brown leaves an aged mother
and four brothers, one in the navy,
all of whom, with the execption of
J. M. Brown, live near town. He
has been engaged in business here
with his brother for more than three
years and together they have been
conducting a . profitable business. Interment
will take place at Cedar
Swamp church to-morrow morning
at 11 o'clock. The Woodmen lodge
at this place, of which he was a member,
it is understood, will take charge
of the body, burying with Woodmen
fconors. *
Textile Figures for Carolina.
Columbia, Sept. 15.?Commissioner
Watson to-day made public the
completion of the statistics of the
textile industry from the certified reports
from all the cotton manuufacturers
Called for under the law to be
filed by Sept. 1. This summary of
the ind/ustry is preliminary to that
which is made under the law on Dec.
31st.
The census shows a total of $66,
782,169 in capital stocK wmcn is an
increase of $5,508,071 over last year
at the same time. The total amount
invested in textile plants is $83,612,994
which is an increase of $8,984,055
over last year. The total spindleage
is now 4,322,264, which is an,
increase of 233,482 over last year.
This year the consumption of cotton
is depressed by 680,317, which is an
increase of 140,800 over the year
1910. There were 46,808 more tons
of coal used this year, the total consumption
being 497,000, and as will
be seen, there has been a marked increase
in the employment of water
power, the increase being 8,818 horse
power, while the steam power increased
only 5,642 horse power.
The figures as to child labor are
particularly interesting as are also
the figures as to female labor. In
the matter of child labor there are
1,370 less children of all ages employed
than were employed just a
year ago. The total now Is 8,404,
and of these 4,858 are over 14 years
of age, being 241 less than in 1910,
only 410 are under 12 years of age.
Of this last there were 726 in 1909
and this number fell to 610 in 1910.
The decrease of 210 this year is particularly
gratifying.
On January 1 next these 410 children
who have not become 12 years
of age, all go out of employment under
the new act which becomes effective
on that date. The decrease
of 919 children between the ages of
12 and 14 is another most gratifying
feature. This makes 1,129 less children
below the age of 14 in the textiles
than were there a year ago.
There are altogether 525 less girls
employed than the preceding year
and a decrease of 561 women. Due
to the curtailment this year there has
been a decrease of 2,896 in the total
number of employes and a decrease
of 2,938 in1 the mill village population,
the total population now being
111.900 and .the total number of em
ployes being 44,133. Nearly fifty per
cent of the decrease in total number
of employes is in children of the total
decrease of 2,896 in number of
employes, 1,931 represents the women
and children. The curtailment
has reduced the value of the product
turned out for the year which is
$71,520,090, the actual decrease being
$278,836.
Figures compiled recently show
that it will cost the taxpayers of the
State one mill for five years to make
the much needed improvements on
the Sr.ate house. The improvements
will cost $1,000,000. The question
will be decided by the next general
assembly.

Old Negro Woman Robbed?Negro

Disturbing Church Services.
Denmark, Oct. 3.?Last Saturday
night about 11:30 o'clock an old
negro woman was robbed of about
$11 in change and a watch on the

ordered this old woman out of the
depot, told her she could not stay
there to wait on the train and ran
her out. This woman not being acquainted
with the town and not
knowing where to go to find a place
to await the train, started out to
find a place and was enticed to the
hall field by two "hoboes" who were
to show her a boarding house. These
two "boes" then robbed her of the
above stated amount, and, as they
were not identified at the time being,
they slipped to Bamberg, where they
were arrested Sunday, afternoon by
Chiefs Hand, of Bamberg, and Kirkland,
of Denmark. They were placed
in jail in Bamberg to await trial.
The railroad companies should be
sued for not providing a place for
passengers to await trains if they cannot
remain in the depot between
trains at night. A place should be
provided for them to wait. We understand
that this is not the first
time that people have been ordered
out of the depot while awaiting
j
trains.
Mr. James Fogle has accepted a
position with Mr. H. W. Beard in
Bamberg.
Mrs. J. W. Corbett, of Camden, is

Peter Sellers, colored, was tried and
convicted of disturbing church services
and sentenced to sixty days on
the chain gang. This is not the first
disturbance which Peter has made,
having a few weeks back broke up
a funeral. Peter says he just can?
not behave' himsejf.
Peter attended meeting Sunday
night, and after sitting still awhile
decided he had enough and got up
and started out. On the way out he
turned over one of the benches.
Some one was sent out to keep him
still, which seemed to make him
mad, and in a few moments Mr. Peter
strolled back with his hat on and
smoking a cigar. As seen just before
he left for the gang he was stylishly
dressed, having on a white vest and
a large red flower and also several
cigars in his pocket.

Stamps Willie tJiigageu 111 uio laiuci o i
shop, in Plymouth, and a portion of
his window was devoted to a show

were noticed by two sailors, who for
a 5-pound note sold him a kit-bag
full of stamps, which were all triangular
Cape of Good Hopes, thousands
and thousands of them, and including
a considerable number of the
"wood-blocks."
The sailors explained that when
the ship reached Cape Town they
had leave to go ashore, and there
they were persuaded by some ladies
at a bazaar to take a shilling ticket
in a raffle. So they won the bag bf
stamps, which the ladies had begged
all around Cape Town. Their shilling
was well repaid by a 5-pound
note, and the sack went into the dealer's
stock, in due course yielding
him not less than 500 pounds profit.

while later it was positively identified,
then placed in a metal box and
chemicals applied so as to preserve
it, pending instructions as to burial
and a coroner's investigation.
An incurable drug habit is said to
have driven her to desperation and
