Had a Dig demonstration 01 tneir
workings before the public at Mt.
Pleasant Lutheran church last Sunday
morning. Recitations and music
by the school with speeches on their
mission work by Miss Shuler, Mrs.
Shealy, and John G. Copeland. All
passed off instructive and the music
and songs edifying. Can't say as to
the amount collected from the audience.
The cold wave has about reached
us, and a good oak fire in the fireplace
is not a bad luxury to have in
one's room.
Lodge and Ehrhardt professors
are planning to hold a teachers'
meeting once a month and swap
ideas on ways and means for the betterment
of their work.

high enough to suit the farmers.
Most' of it is hanked up around their
houses in place of being put on the
market. Merchants are needing
their money to meet their accounts,
and this holding of cotton is in many
cases at the merchants' expense.
They seem to think that their having
the cotton makes their accounts
with their merchants easy.
Fudge making is one of the arts
' that young ladies are getting proficient
in. Witnessed a fudge study
recently, and was more entertaining
than Bingham on the stage.
Rainy weather seems to be coming
again, then we will have some
frost and cane grinding, and all along
will have a hog killing time.

Fairfax, Oct. 30.?It was indeed
children's day on last Saturday afternoon
when the parents of little
H. M. Harveley celebrated his sixth
birthday by inviting all of his playmates
in town, and a few outside of
town, to a party at their hospitable
home. Two pianos, one a self player,
and other instruments furnished
plenty of music. Their merry, childish
glee attracted the attention of all
passersby, while romping in games,
etc. A beautiful table was spread
with plenty of cake, cream, fruit,
of all kind, etc. Later on Mr. Har
veley took the crowd automobiling,
and in the exuberance of their joy
they exclaimed: "Let's have another
party to-morrow." He received many
pretty presents. "H. M." Jr. is a
wonderful boy, and has always been
the pet of the town. May the future
contain a crescendo of fortune for
you, little man!

Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 30.?Justifiable
homicide was the verdict of the
coroner's jury late last night at Shelby,
N. C., on the killing of Sam Whitworth,
a prominent Cleveland county
farmer, late yesterday afternoon by
J. Lucas Randall, a well known manufacturer'

was automobiling with three young
ladies when he met Whitworth who
was driving a mule.
Whitworth advanced toward the
machine, ordering Randall to stop
and saying: "I'll kill you." Randall
said. "Don't shoot: I have some little
girls here." Whitworth drew his
gun and Randall fired twice, instantly
killing the farmer. Randall imme*

AFFECTING COTTON MILLS.
Trouble in China May Seriously Injure
Industry.
Anderson, Oct. 29.?The Chinese
revolution is having a serious effect
on the cotton mill industry of
.the Southern States, according to
James D. Hammett, president of several
of the largest mills in South
Carolina and a member of the executive
committee of the American Man
- J- > *
Uiacturers Asswiauuu.
In a statement issued by Mr. Hamment
to-day, he points out that many
mills manufacture goods solely for
export to China and scores of orders
already have been cancelled because
of the Chinese war. He estimates
that fully 30 mills in South Carolina
alone are dependent on the Chinese
trade.
"Unless a speedy settlement of
the revolution is reached," said Mr.
Hammett, "serious consequences are
feared for both the Southern manufacturers,
who supply the trade, and
the cotton producers of the South.
This fall indications were for a large
trade from China, but as a result of
+Vl~ thA demand for cloth
has been almost entirely cut off,
with a disposition in evidence to cancel
contracts that are now on the
books of the mills."
A Good Man Gone.
Editor Bamberg Herald: In your
Ehrhardt correspondence of last
week I noticed the announcement of
the death of Mr. R. C. Kirkland.
Mr. Kirkland was born and raised
at Buford's Bridge, and with'the exception
of four years spent in the
Confederate service, and a few
months at Ehrhardt, he lived on the
same plantation. When the war
: broke out he was among the first to
volunteer; serving first at Cole's
Island, then going to Virginia, joining
Lee's army, and from the second
battle of Manassas to Appomatox, he
was in all the engagements of the
Army of Northern. Virginia,'and that
army was engaged in some of the
bloodiest battles of modern times. He
was wounded once, but was soon
himself again, and rendered valiant
service, till the fated day at Appomatox,
when the Stars and Bars
went down forever.
After the war he married Miss V.
V. Turner. Prom this marriage, three
children and his wife survive.
For four years he was school commissioner
of Barnwell county, and
discharged his duties faithfully.
, For many years he was a deacon
at Philadelphia church.
He lived to see his home town
pass out of existence?of the church
he loved so well and served with
such fidelity, he also saw the day
when not a vestige remained to mark
the sacred spot.
Mr. Kirkiand was a man of noble
qualities. He, in all of liis long life,
never harmed or injured a fellow being,
but was ever ready to help a
fallen brother. He made the world
better, hnd his long and honorable
life should be a benediction to the
younger men who knew him.
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart;
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we.forget!

I Trunk Held Child While House
Jtturnea.
Asheville, Oct. 30.?Displaying
unusual presence of mind for a child,
Edgair Applegate, the four-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Applegate,
saved himself from death by
suffocation by hiding in his mother's
trunk when a fire, which he started
by playing with matches, gutted his
home at Wayndsville early this evening.
His mother, who was asleep in
an upstairs room when the house
took fire, was rescued by neighbors
who carried her into the open air.
No one seemed to know that there
was anyone else in the house until
the mother, regaining consciousness,
screamed that her boy was in the
burning building and made an effort
to rush back into the flames. She
was held back, however, and several
men attempted to enter the house,
but were driven out by the smoke
and flames.
It was then that Theodore McCracken,
a business man of Waynesville,
displayed heroism for which,
the citizens of Waynesville say, he
should be given a Carnegie medal.
Four times he dashed into the burning
building and was dtriven back.
On the fifth trip he entered the
kitchen through a window and heard
the muffled cries of a child which apparently
came from a steel trunk
back of the kitchen door. McCracken
seized the trunk and rushed
through the doorway, which was filled
with flames, to the yard. The lid
cf the trunk was lifted and, beyond
being badly frightened, the boy was
found unharmed inside.

IN THE Pil.lHETTft STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading?Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.
The corner stone of Dillon's new
$75,000 court house was laid Monday
with appropriate ceremonies.
Five hundred women, from every
portion of South Carolina, are expected
to attend the State convention
of the Woman's Missionary Union of
the Baptist church at Anderson the
14th of November.
South Carolina's monument to the
Women of the Confederacy will be
unveiled on Thursday, December 14,
1911. This is the memorial to the
memory of South Carolina's hero
iaes to raise which the legislature
appropriated in part and the male inhabitants
of the State a far larger
amount, giving the commission over
120,000 for the purpose.
The third annual meeting of the
South Carolina Conference of Charities
and Correction is announced for
November 23 and 24 at Columbia.
The gathering is made up of social
workers of almost every shade of religious
belief. There will be wide
discussion of problems bearing on
charity, philanthropy, benevolence
and penology. Some of the prominent
people of the State are active
leaders in the movement, which indicates
its noteworthiness. All interested
persons are invited to attend
the conference.
Wounded Buck Attacks Woman.
New York, Oct. 25.?Mrs. Elizabeth
Worth Miller, the first woman
to whom a shooting license has been
issued in Sullivan county, narrowly
escaped being killed by a" wounded
buck near here ito-day, says a Monticello
dispatch to the Herald. Mrs.
Muller, who had been stalking deer
since daybreak, felled the buck, a
fine specimen, with a ball from her
rifle. Before she could repeat the
shot, the animal scrambled to hi* feet
and charged her.
Dropping her weapon, Mrs. Muller
jumped to the protection of a clump
of saplings juat in time to escape the
sweep of the buck's antlers. The infuriated
bea^st charged again and
again, and Mrs. MulLer's agility and
endurance were taxed to the utmost
to keep out of the way. When she
had become nearly exhausted her
guide appeared. He fired a shot at
long range and the buck ran away.
Mrs. Muller, finds in shooting, her
chief recreation from her work as a
lawyer, says that deer are as plentiful
as cattle in the towns of Highland
and ForestWirg, where they
have come down from the mountains
to feed in the apple orchards and
pumpkin fields. She expressed indignation
at the way in which they are
being slaughtered.
"To my mind," she said, "the killing
of deer with shotguns is unsportsmanlike
and I believe that the
law should be changed to permit only
the use of the rifle. Most of the
deer killed near here are so tame
that they could be brought to feed
out of one's hand, and most of them

escape.
"Within a half mile of our camp I
counted 23 dressed deer hanging
from the branches of trees. This
shows how plentiful they are, and
with adequate protection Sullivan
county in a few years would furnish
the best of shooting.'

Commits Suicide with Shotgun.
Anderson, Oct. 30.?Profound'sorrow
over the deaths of his wife and
brother, which occurred recently,
coupled with an attack of pellagra,
caused Jake J. Cromer, a substantial
Anderson county farmer, to become
mentally unbalanced, and in this condition
he committed suicide this afternoon.
Mr. Cromer, who was 60
years of age, locked himself up in his

and shot himself with a shotgun, the
entire load passing through his left
arm and entering the heart. Death
resulted instantly. The deceased was
a large landowner and well known in
this section. He leaves eight children,
two brothers and two sisters to
mourn his death.

HER THROAT CUT.
Female Doctor Found Dead in Her
Apartment.
At Indianapolis, Ind., Dr. Helen
Knabe was found dead, her body
cut and bruised, in a bed room of
her apartment Tuesday. The police
?XJ./J. J _1_ _ ? TW
are sausnea sue was muiucicu.
Knabe's body was found when her
assistant, Miss Katherine McPherson,
entered the apartment.
The body and the bed upon which
it lay were covered with blood but
no weapon was found in any of the
rooms nor was it apparent a robbery
had been committed. All the windows
were closed, though the physician,
who was devoted to physical
culture, habitually slept with the
windows open.
Dr. Knabe was last seen alive by
Miss McPherson, to whom she had
said late Monday that she intended
spending the evening in studying.
She lived and had her office on the
ground floor of an apartment house
in a prosperous and quiet neighborhood.
No persons, so far as has been
learned, heard sounds of a struggle
in Dr. Knabe's apartment Monday
night.
Augusta Knabe, the physician's
r?rm?irv and t.ha latter's stepfather,
Franc Kropp, told the police that
Dr. Knabe had no enemy so far as
they knew. She was 35 years of age
and a graduate of the Indiana College
of Medicine.
The police put aside the theory of
suicide when they examined Dr.
Knabe's body and saw that though
the throat had been slashed, there
was no blood on the dead woman's
hands and when no knife was found
in her rooms. She was in her night
gown.
Reports of Dr. Knabe's death were
not made to the police for an hour
after her body was discovered. Dr.
Knabe, though she had a wide acquaintance,
is said not to have had
an intimate friend among the men.
she knew.
* JefTerson Haynes, the negro janitor
of the apartment house in which
Dr. Knabe lived, was taken to police
headquarters to be questioned
as to his whereabouts at different
hours Monday night and whether or
not he saw any one about the Knabe
apartment other than Dr. Knabe.
City Bankrupted by Graft.
The most remarkable position into
which a city has ever fallen is that
of the city of Lawrence, Mass.
This manufacturing city, with a
population of 86,040, finds itself
bankrupt; its late mayor, fire marshal
and one alderman are in jail;
the mayor's secretary has pleaded
guilty of bribery, a&d several other
city officials are under indictment for
bribery or for stealing from the city.
With the city in this predicament,
its leading citizens have joined in a
petition to the legislature to give it
ermr/^rn TTIOTI t f*f five TlPf
a W I 11 I I I IQWUU Q V T VM.V w. . ? X-?son&,
to be selected by the legislature
and to exercise all of the powers
of municipal government until a new
charter can be adopted.
It is altogether probable that Lawrence
has as large a percentage of
honest people as any other American
city.
But evidently the honest citizens
of the town were entirely neglectful
of their civic duties.
No city could pass entirely under
the control of a gang of reckless
plunderers unless .this was the case.
The appeal of ifs people to the
legislature to save the city from the
consequences of their neglect of civic
duties will probably have to be met.
It is a confession that the people of |
the city are incapable of conducting
their own municipal affairs.
And what has happened in this
Massachusetts city may happen in
any city where the people do not
take an active and intelligent interest
in municipal affairs. In the fate
that has overtaken Lawrence there is
a lesson for every city in the country.
A large crop of cotton may have
been made this year, but even 14
million bales would not be more
than is necessary to make up for
past shortages. The 1909 crop fell
short one and a half millions, and
1910 was over a half a million short.
The world needs more than 12 millions
from the South, and a 14 million
bale crop would not make more
than an average of 12 millions for
this and the past two years. Our
farmers are being fooled into the
belief that there has been over pro^
duction this year, when there is no

BONOS CONFEDERATE DEAD
MONUMENT WILL STAND AS MEMORIAL
TO THEIR VALOR.
Beautiful Shaft Erected by Francis
Marion Bamberg Chapter, U. D.
C., Unveiled Last Thursday.
Last Thursday was Bamberg's big
day, and by many it was regarded as
the biggest day ever known here.
The handsome Confederate monument
was fittingly unveiled in the
presence of a large and enthusiastic
crowd, all filled with a spirit of love
and devotion to the Confederate he?

fought. There were many of these
old Veterans present who shared in
the happy exercises, the chief feature
of which was the inspiring address
of Senator E. D. Smith. .
Prof. J. Caldwell Guilds, headmaster
of the Carlisle Fitting School,
was the master of ceremonies. The
exercises were held at the court
house square, where the monument
stands, a beautifully draped stand
having been improvised on the court
house steps. Everything was Confederate
colors in Bamberg Thursday.
The children of the school atr
tended in a body, the student body of
the Carlisle Fitting School were present,
the Bamberg Guards in their
drab uniforms were on hand, and the
old Confederates with their yells were
the youngest and jolliest of the
crowd. Bamberg county, Barnwell,
Orangeburg and perhaps other counties
were represented.
Senator Smith Speaks.
The Hon. Calvin W. Garris in his
introductory remarks referred in an
appropriate manner to the efforts of
those who have made this work possible.
Senator Smith wad repeatedly interrupted
by applause and cheers.
His chief theme was individualism
as opposed by imperialism, and in a
most convincing and pleasing manner
he showed his audience how it
was that this was the real cause of
tne war or- secession, nor aooui
forty minutes he spoke, reaching the
height of eloquence when referring
to the Southern women and the home.
He was well received and every one,
especially the veterans, were delighted
with his speech.
Monument Unveiled.
After Senator Smith had concluded
the cords which held the veil over
the monument were drawn by little
girls, dressed in red and white; the
band played "Dixie" and the Bamberg
Guards fired a salute; this was
followed by a general Rebel yell. The
little girls drawing the cords were
Nell Jennings Bamberg, a grandaughter
of Gen. Francis Marion Bamberg,
for whom &e local chapter of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
is named; Willie May Allen, Mary
Ann Bronson, Evelyn Brabham, a
granddaughter of Major J. J. Brabham,
a signer of the Secession Ordinance;
Eugenia Beard, Mary Cleckley,
Rebecca Dickinson, Mary Lee
Grimes, Mildred Jones, Jane^ Rice,
Edna Spann, Mary Francis Walker
and Mary Williams.
The monument was then presented
to the authorities of the town by Mrs.
William P. Jones in behalf of the
Chapter of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy. This was responded
to in behalf of the town by B. D. Carter,
Esq., the secretary of the Business
Men's League.
Immediately after the exercises all
! of the Confederate veterans were the
guests of the U. D. C. at a delightful
dinner, served in the court house..
Many people also took their meals
there, helping to settle the small balance
still due on the monument.
The Monument.
Standing about 35 feet high on the
most prominent spot in the town,
one of the handsomest monuments
ever erected to the Confederate heroes
in South Carolina faces Bamberg's
business street and also Railroad
Avenue; it is in a position to
always command a view from the
business men and all passersby.
Rising from a base about 11 feet
high, a granite shaft of South Carolina
granite runs upward for about
18 feet and then upon this is a handsome
marble figure of a Confederate
private at parade rest; the figure was
made in Italy.
On the side looking toward the
court house is the inscription: "Erected
by Fancis Marion Bamberg Chapter,
1911." On tne south side is a
Confederate flag; on the west the inscription
"Lest we forget." The eastern
side is left blank for the present,
but the ladies of the U. D. C. purpose
at an early date to place a bronze
tablet thereon, showing the names of
all Confederate heroes who went from
Bamberg county.
VlWt nt fhp Wnmpn.
The work of erecting this handsome
monument is the result or untiring
efforts on the part of the women
of the county. About 1902 an
association was formed looking toward
erecting a suitable memorial
to the Confederate heroes, but only
$155 was ever collected by this association;
this amount -was held as a
nest egg, however, and in April,
1911, the women organized themselves
into a chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, with
thirty charter members. These have
done a great part of this noble work.
How well they have succeeded is best |
attested by the exercises marking
the unveiling of the monument yesterday.
The members of this orgnization
have labored untiringly; they
have solicited contributions from all
around, and have received many voluntary
contributions from all over
the South. To date there are about
four hundred subscribers to the fund.
The officers of the local U.- D. C.
are as follows: Mrs. 6. Frank Bam
