Mrs. J. M. Jennings extends a cor- r

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

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

My Dear Mir. Knight: The above
rill show that after a most interestng
cruise in Northern Asiatic waters
am again in the Philippine Isands.
Our six months' cruise North
his year was one that we all enjoyed,
isiting such places as Hong Kong,
ihanghai, all through Japan, Port
irthur and Vladivostok, Siberia,
pent a good part of my time going
ver the battlefields, etc., of the Ruso-Japanese
war, and some of the
ight of the old fortresses and ruins
/ere well worth one's time and
aoney.
Instead of just spending the winer
months in the Philippines, as I
av* heretofore done, I am here this
ime for a much longer stay, as I
xpeet to finish my cruise down here
/ith the "Bamboo Fleet." The New
Irleanr, after two years' cruising on
he Asiatic Station, is leaving for the
Jnited States in a few days, going
rom here to Puget Sound, Wash., to
e placed out of commission ana i am
eing transferred, so kindly change
he address of my paper from U. S. S.
Jew Orleans to U. S. S. Monadnock,
Asiatic Station, via San Francisco,
?1. The Monadnock is a ship of the
lohitor class, and is equipped with
welve-inch guns, and with her siser
ship, the Monterey, is stationed
t the naval yard in this place.
Trusting that this finds you enjoyQg
the same blessing that I am,
amely, good health, and that Bamerg

A Little One Gone.
Miles J. Jr., the 23-months-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Black, died at
their home in this city last Wednesday
night about eight o'clock, after
a short illness. The burial took
place Thursday afternoon at three
o'clock at South-end cemetery, the
services being conducted by Rev. O.
J. Frier, assisted by Rev. W. H.
Hodges. Messrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr.,
H. H. Copeland, G. O. Simmons, and
tV. D. Rhoad acted as pall-bearers.
This little one was ap exceptionally
bright child, and it is hard for the
parents to have to give him up. They
have the sincere sympathy of a very
large number of friends.
Court Proceedings.
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.

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.

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

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

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

COTTON GOODS TONING CP.
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.
