Those merchants who adT^prtise have something good to offer # yon in the way of bargain. The Herald acknowledges a cash s subscription of $1.00 to the Confed- 1 erate monument fund from Mr. H. c. W. Carter, of the Ehrhardt section. 2 Mrs. J. M. Jennings extends a cor- r dial invitation to every member of the Woman's Christian Temperance t Union to meet with her next Tues- j day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The beautiful play, "Beverly," will be presented at the Academy of Mu- c sic, Orangeburg, S. C., next Wednes- j day evening, November 29th. See i the advertisement in another column, t We have the roll of Company G, , 1st S. C. V. I., which was furnished d as through the kindness of Mr. M. d O. Kinard, orderly sergeant of the r company, which we will publish next s week. J. A. Nimmons, Bamberg's colored E * barber, has gone to Sumter to attend c the annual session of the conference a ? " of the M. E. Church. He is a lay r delegate from the Beaufort district v . and is a candidate for delegate to * - the general conference with good ^ t chances of election. ! While trimming trees Tuesday ? morning, Mr. Michel Bronson, who works for the electric light plant, fell from the tree. Fortunately his 0 injuries are not serious. His back was wrenched, but he was not badly > hurt, and will no doubt be all right again in a few days. jc Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of g Trinity Methodist church, will preach ~ his last sermons for this year next Sunday. He leaves Monday morn- c ing for conference at Bennettsville. Mr. Hodges has endeared himself to v not only his own congregation but to \ other denominations as well during i the past year, and he will no doubt gV. be returned for next year. t Every farmer in Bamberg county v ; v " can help better the pric'e of cotton by S planting more small grain this season A ? ' * than ever before and at the same S time help his own prosperity. For if o there should be so much wheat, oats s i dr .rye made as to glut the market s (an impossibility) the surplus could v be used for raising fat hogs, goats, n sheep or fowls that will surely sell v\ well. t At last the big generator at the b electric light plant, which was badly t damaged by lightning some months e ago,, has been repaired and was used J "fon the first time Tuesday night. The j job of rewinding and repamng this J < ' machine was a long, tedious job, but J Mr. Camp, the superintendent, did the ? Work in first-class style. The put- jj ting of this generator into service b will greatly improve the senviee, as ^ the new and smaller machine has * been running with an overload. ? Tuten Not Guilty. J - * . When The Herald went to press Wednesday of last week the case of a * Roy Tuten, charged with the mur- . der of J. R. Langford, was being 11 tried, this case being transferred ? here from Hampton-county. As we b expected, no testimony was offered by the defence, it relying entirely on the weakness of the case made out by the State. s Arguments in the case were begun Wednesday afternoon and continued ' . Thursday morning. About 1:30 o'clock the jury retired and soon reached a verdict of not guilty. This ? verdict was generally expected, for n while there was some suspicious circumstances testified to which connected Tuten with the killing, the j evidence was not strong enough to j even bring about a mistrial. q t farmers' Union Meeting. i .Ehrhardt, S.

After the Tuten case was concluded Thursday of last week, the trial of Frank Jennings, charged with murder, was taken up. Jennings is a negro who works on Mr. W. M. Brabham's plantation near town. Some months ago his brother got drunk and threatened to kill him, finally getting a gun and coming to the house where Frank Jennings was. As he came in the door Frank struck him with a bed slat and killed him. The jury found him not guilty, as it was clearly a case of selfdefence. Martin Grant, a negro, was tried for assault and battery with intent to kill. He ^as found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $75.00 or serve 90 days on the chain gang. He paid the fine. Grant >vas charged with striking Rev. H. H. Matthews, a negro, with a stick. Mary Ann Miller, the negro woman who shot ana killed William Campbell a little more than a week ago, was tried and found not guilty. The woman's story was that Bill threat+r? 1.-411 her and nirkpd nn his tutu IV ' A* * A JL "Vi W.?? v? r.v..Vv. -r ? pistol from the table, both of them getting hold of it at the same time. In the struggle over the weapon it was discharged. She claimed that she did not fire the pistol nor did she attempt to shoot Campbell. In the case of Landv Clifton, charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses, the judge directed a verdict of not guilty. The transaction of civil business was begun Monday of this week, and a number of orders winding up estates and for the sale of real estate for division have been taken. The following cases have been tried: Johnnie W. Jones vs. Geo. Jones et al. This was a suit over some land. The jury found for both the plaintiff and defendants, and as there are a number of questions involved, the judge will prepare a decree es tablishing the interests of the parties under the verdict. Pearson, Williams & Co. vs. S. G. May field. Judgment entered for $2,700. United Grocery Co. vs. J. M. Dannelly & Co. Settled out of court. J. H. C. All vs. Jones A. Williams. Case withdrawn from the jury. The case of J. W. Kemp vs. the Seaboard Air Line Railway is being tried as we go to press on Wednesday. This is a suit for $5,000 damages for injuries sustained by falling out of the depot at Olar. Kemp was badly hurt by the fall, and had to go on crutches for a long time. Permanent Office. "When I first decided to allow the nuAnio r\f Tunpln tn use mv name as - v.^ ? ?V a candidate for congress, I went out to a neighboring parish to speak,"' said Private John Allen recently to some friends at the old Metropolitan hotel in Washington. "An old darky came up to greet me after the meeting. Wlarse Allen,' he said, 'I'se powerful glad to see you. I's known ob you since you wuz a baby. Knew yoh pappy long befo' you-all wuz bohn, too. He used to hold'the same office you got now. I members 'how he held dat same office fo' years an' years.' " 'What office do you mean, uncle?' I asked, as I never knew pop held any office. " 'Why, de office of candidate, Marse John; yoh pappy was candidate fo' many years.' "?Everybody's Magazine. J V -i ^ Gus Eaves in Wreck. A wreck of a passenger train on the Pennsylvania Railroad ocurred Friday of last week near Monmouth Junction, N. J., the. train being called the Pennsylvania Flyer. The train consisted of five Pullman cars, four day coaches, two baggage cars, a mail and express car. Mr. A. J. Eaves, a Bamberg boy, who is now living in New York, was on the train, and was interviewed by the New York Tribune, which published his account, as follows: A. J. Eaves, of the Postal Telegraph Cable Company of New York, who was a passenger on the train, gave a vived description of the accident. "The train felt just as ff it had run into an immovable stone wall," sai Mr. Eaves, "and simultaneously all of the passengers in the car in which I was seated were hurled to the forward end in a heap. The coach then tilted to one side, and passengers were thrown against the windows, many of which were broken. "There were screams of fright from the women that sounded pitiful, but it was soon learned that none of the passengers was badly hurt. As soon as I was able to get i6ut, I ran toward the engine to see how serious the wreck was. "I found the engine lying on its ? - - - ? ^ """U U aam /vn/\n vtn P f /\ rv< A bie <11111 CUUAU. utai ^luauo 11 uiu tu*? engineer and fireman, who were pinned underneath. Several passengers, including myself, made our way through the escaping steam and managed to get hold of the fireman and pull him out. He was bleeding and badly burned. Others went to the aid of the engineer and soon they were able to drag him out from the debris. "There were cries for a doctor following this, but unfortunately no physician was on the train. Stretchers, however, were obtained, and the engineer and the fireman made as comfortable as possible. Cold water was poured on the charred face of the engineer, and he finally regained consciousness. His first question was, "Are any of the passengers hurt?" None of the railroad men will commit themselves as to the cause of - the accident. The engine left the track at a switch that is controlled from the switch towrer at Monmouth Junction. The switchman said the levers were properly placed." The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg today (Wednesday at 7% to 9 cents the pound, this latter price being for best grades. The staple is poor, in fact there is little or no good cotton to be had, as it remained in the fields so long before picking. The receipts for the season here so far amount to 11,000 bales. Tribute of Respect. At the regular taeeting of our band on Friday evening, the 17th instant, many expressions of esteem and regret were made with reference to the untimely death of our secretary and treasurer, Ola B. Ayer, and the following preamble and resolution was adopted: Whereas, we bow in humble submission to God, who in His all wise providence has seen fit to take from us one of our highly esteemed, faithful and earnest members. Be it resolved, that we extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy in their time of trouble and sorrow. H. FRIER, W. DICKINSON, H. KEARSE. Garlington Returns. John Y. Garlington, former president of the Seminole Securities company, whose sentence of three years in the penitentiary on a conviction of breach of trust was affirmed last Monday by the Supreme court, returned to Columbia yesterday from Chicago. He will confer with his attorney, N. B. Dial, of Laurens, to-day, when some announcement will be made as to whether an appeal will be made asking a stay of the remittitur. The remittitur will be sent down to the Snnreme court next Thursday. James Stobo Young, the secretary of the company, who was convicted in 1910 on the same charge and given one year in the penitentiary, is in Chicago, according to Mr. Garlington. Should the appeal for a stay of remittitur fail Mr. Young will return to South Carolina, according to Mr. Garlington. "I have no statement to make with regard to my case, but there will be an announcement following/a conference with my attorney to-morrow. The case has been left entirely in his hands, and I will do whatever he directs," said Mr. Garlington yesterday when asked for a statement.?The State. Xegro Cripple Kills Brother. Spartanburg, Nov. 18.?In a quarrel which started from Edward McJimpsey's remonstration with his brother Irwin because of the latter's abuse of Julia McJimpsey, Irwin's wife, Eward shot Irwin in the heart and killed him in their mother's home on Keene street, at 5 o'clock this afternoon. They are negroes. Edward McJimpsey lost both legs in a railroad accident several years ago. After killing his brother, Edward decided he would commit suicide. He was dissuaded by his family, and instead surrendered himself to Policeman at s Turner, who arrived on the scene soon afterwards. The slayer was locked up in the county jail. Coroner J. S. Turner held an inquest last night. The verdict was "that Irwin McJimpsey came to his death from a pistol shot wound inflicted by his brother, Ed McJimpsey." An ex-farmer who has ridden in his buggy over many miles of countryroads in the last ten days tells us that in his opinion one fourth of the cotton crop is yet unpicked. Up country papers of last week said that gathering and ginning there will be completed before November goes but. the hill clay country has been spared the cruel rains that have fallen in this section.?Barnwell People. j # f BAKING |jj .

Trading Not too Active, but Situation More Encouraging. New York, Nov. 19.?The week closed with a better tone manifested in the cotton goods markets. Trading has not beea active, but there has been a steady Droaaemng in tne demand and a hardening in prices on cloths that have sold very low. It has developed that some of the large selling agencies have been quietly accepting business for delivery in the first two months of the year and buyers have been learning that immediate deliveries of many staples are not so readily obtained. Delay is still noted in the placing of duplicate business on wash fabrics and white goods by retailers and jobbers and the fine goods end of the business is slow.
