A convict escaped from the coun- ^ ty chain gang last Friday, the gang being in camp near Midway. However, he was captured below Branchville the next day. The negro was a State convict and had been made a P trusty. 13 Mr. James Sandifer and Miss Daisy Ellzey were married at Denmark * - Sunday a week ago by Rev. B. F. Allen. The bride was recently a student in the graded school at thiB t( place, being in the high school department. ( E The board of county commissioners ^ were in session here last Monday, but the approving of claims occupied q their attention for the session. As g there are several matters of import- $ ance to come before the board, there will be another meeting next Mon- p ' day. B Miss Gertrude Smith, daughter of Col. W. G.

Mr. Graves is well-known and c has many friends in Bamberg. The new law in regard to commutation tax will materially supplement ^ the road fund in this county. There j are 2,800 names on the list, but of a this number it is possible that some j may not be liable. However, it can ^ be reasonably supposed that the in- t cnmp from this tax will be at least p $4,000 or more, and if properly ex- t pended will do much to give us bet- ] ter roads in Bamberg county. ^ From figures prepared by W H. c Hand, State high sch'ool inspector, a the white population of Bamberg * county is o,670, and the enrollment a of children in high schools of the 6 county 117.

Mr. Camp ( will remain here for a few days, un- t til Mr. Ryan is familiar with the c plant, but he and Mrs. Camp will no i doubt leave for Savannah the latter part of this week.

Monday morning about half past one ? o'clock, December 25th, the death 1 angel visited the home of Mr. and c Mrs. J. W. Beard and called away ^ their devoted daughter, Thelma. She 3 retired on Thursday night before her ' death in her usual health and when * the family aroused next morning * found her speechless. All that lov- 1 ing hands could do was done, but God in His wisdom knew best, and * called her to a home of rest. While the entire community was saddened 1 by her death, we feel sure that she 1 is safe in the arms of Jesus. Her * remains were laid to rest at Colston 3 cemetery. She leaves a large num- , ber of relatives and friends to whom we extend sympathy. a A FRIEND. 1 c New Year's Dinner. I t On Monday Mr. V. J.

At the averag )rice for the year the total silver pro iuction was worth $30,854,500. The net amount of gold and sil rer used in the industrial arts wa ipproximately $34,000,000 gold, ani 14,000,000 ounces of silver. Th :oinage of the mints was, gold $56, L76,8 22, silver $6,457,301, nicke md copper $3,156,726, total $65, r90,850. The net gain in the coun ry's stock of gold, including bul ion in the treasury during the year ?as close to $100,000,000. The director's report gives th inal figures for the production o ;old in the world in 1910 at $454, r03,900. The director also makes j >reliminary estimate on the world' >roduction in 1911 of $466,700,000 t gain of about $12,000,000. Although the gold production con inues to increase, the increase wai it a diminishing rate and the direc or says that there is nothing in thi lutlook to indicate a repetition of thi ihenomenal gains that were mad< letween 1880 and 1890 and 1900.

JKEN OFFICER SHOOTS NEGRO 'oliceman Gaddy Has Hard ScoflU with Wesley Garvin. Aiken, Dec. 31.?In making an ar est Friday night between 1 and i 'clock, Policeman J. P. Gaddy, whc ras last month elected to fill the vaancy resulting from the death ol Vade Patterson, fired five times pon the negro whom he was eneavoring to arrest. However, bul ne of the bullets- reached its mark triking the negro, Wesley Garvin i the right thigh, inflicting merelj flesh wound. The evidence gathered seems tc how beyond all doubt that Offices raddy was justified in shooting Garin, and that he did so not only ir he discharge of his duty, but in selfefence, because the negro was viosntly resisting arrest -and had as aulted the officer. The negro himelf, when seen by the News anc lourier correspondent, declared thai e could not blame the officer foi hooting. *oopcTi?n nv SUSPICION.

MUST KEEP OUT OF POLITICS. s President Taft's Order Affects All Rural Mail Carriers. d Washington, Dec. 31.?Several thousand rural free delivery letter e carriers are barred from active par3, ticipation in politics by an executive e order signed byPresidentTaft to-day. 3, The order will be issued to-morrow. It forbids the rural letter carriers 0 from "pernicious activity in politics," s and empowers the civil service commission to dismiss any of them found s to be so engaged. The rural carriers like all mail i- clerks and other postoffice employees, h are not to be denied the right of po litical belief and discussion of politi; cal conditions, but their active parl, ticipation in political affairs will be stopped. 'The term, "pernicious ac.. tivity in politics," is an elastic one, l, and in the past has worked on other s classes of federal employees as an e effectual bar from politics. i_ SENDS BULLET INTO TEMPLE. ? Wife of Chicago Bank Official Com D ? i mits Suicide. e " Chicago, Dec. 30.?Mrs. Frederick I T. Haskell, 51 years old, wife of the vice president of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, shot and killed herself on the thirtieth anniversary of their marriage to-day. A coroner's jury to-night returned a verdict e that the wound was inflicted while f she was temporarily deranged from grieving over the death of her mothj er a year ago. g Invitations for a celebration of the , anniversary at a hotel had been issued, and Mrs. Haskell arranged for a party at her home after the hotel g dinner. She appeared in excellent spirits early in the day, but became a quiet suddenly, went into a bed a room, found there an old revolver and a shot herself in the right temple. She died in a hospital several hours later. Mr. Haskell is ill in bed as a result of the shock. Lessons of the Cotton Situation. s "If it turns out to be a fact that a 7 bumper cotton crop is made, and the i price continues below the cost of pro duction, the farmers will only have - received another one of.the hard less sons of experience that they, should - have been raising something else." , So says the Charlotte Observer. Not "raising something else," but r in raising cotton and something else, t It seems that we have the usual re suit of good prices for cotton. Every 3 man planted all he could in hopes - that the good prices would be mainl tained, and the result has given the t speculators the chance they wanted, > aided by the weak and distressed cotton that must always be sold in the fall and on a falling market. Even if the estimated crop of the j department of agriculture is correct there is no good reason for the present low price. The manufacturers at home and abroad who have been > holding off for lower prices will now t ? , be buying liberally, and with the . weak cotton off the market the needs f of the world will inevitably cause an 3 advance in price. The* world was . short of cotton, and the crop is none h too much for the needs. But the trouble with the farmers, 9 as I have for years and years insistT ed, is that they plant too many acres in cotton and get too little cotton ^ an acre. If all the farmers in the . Cotton Belt farmed well in a good . rotation of crops, planting one-third t as much area in cotton, and built up . their land to a productive state, they . would need less fertilizer, and by . using improved implements could . grow cotton for half the cost they 1 grow it now, and if they grew just I as much cotton on the one-third area r that they now grow on the whole, the cost would be cut down seriously, and a low price would not cause distress. The man who has done this, and has oats and wheat to sell, hay to feed 1 and cattle to eat, hogs to eat the corn after grazing all summer on the great variety of crops that can be grown in a constant succession in } the South, will not be seriously hurt p by the low price of cotton. * So long as the Southern farmer ' buys bacon that the Western farm} ers, the railroads, the packers and 3 .the home merchant have all had tneir i 1 profit out of, while he pays them all f out of cotton, his cotton crop is going 7 to cost him too much. The only security for the future is in reducing 1 the cost of growing cotton by good ' farming. The great difficulty is to get the Southern farmers to farm well so long as cotton brings a fine price. 5 As a farmer years ago in South 1 Carolina said to me when cotton I * was at the lowest price, and there ' was a great deal of interest, mani* fested in diversified farming: "We - will never go to farming well till we are whipped into it." It seems 3 that the boll weevil is whipping them ~ into better farming in the far South. When Louisiana ana x>nssisaipiJi ^ selling corn, it is a good indication,! and perhaps the boll weevil will not _ be an unmixed evil.?Progressive Farmer. T - ' - - SOME UNUSUAL CHILDREN. . ? One Girl Has Eyes That Can Look Through Opaque Bodies. There may be freaks of nature, but all the same it is doubtful whether there are more wonderful babies in the world than those mentioned in j th? following article. There is Ar- 1 thur Keene, a six-year-old-boy, living with his parents at Penarth, . Glamorgan, in whom, about a year ago, British medical men were much interested. The boy had lived on milk ever since his birth, not a particle of solid food being taken. At ' * 6 years of age he was finely develop- 1 ed and healthy, and his diet consisted of 30 pints of milk per week mixed with sugar and a little water. Then there is James Adolph Cooy, of Chicago, who is two years and \' three months old. He weighs 119 pounds, measures 14 inches around the neck, 36 inches around the waist, . 16 inches above the knee and 13 inches below. He eats more than both his parents. ^ For breakfast young James eats ' ;Ni * numerous biscuits spread with butter and syrup, and drinks two glasses of milk as well as a couple of cups of coffee. For dinner and supper he is supplied with a large plate of boiled bacon and vegetables, and he gives full vent to a lusty pair of lungs if he is not given refreshments between meals. When Lionel Brett, a young boy of Massachusetts, was a baby in arms, - ; . his mother noticed that there was something peculiar about his eyes, anH tearine that he was in danger of fS, going blind she had him examined - , ,N by several oculists. These gentlemen discovered that the child was possessed of the most wonderful pair of eyes, his sight penetrating substances. : - ^ Dr. Ferroul, of Narbornne, and Dr. M Grasset, of Montpelier, some years J back examined a young girl of Narbornne and she was found to pos- 1 sess eyes similar to those of Lionel ] Brett. Experiments proved that she ] could see through opaque bodies as 1 clearly and penetratingly as if her eyes generated Roentgen rays. Another child possessed of won- v ^ derful sight was a German lad nam- '$ ed Schaefer, who created a furor in J scientific circles some time ago. There was nothing unusual in his >jf appearance, and yet he had a very J strange pair of ey^s. The usual or- I der of things was reversed. In the 1 day he was practically blind, while a in the darkness of the night the 1 keenness of his sight was astonish- J ing. When night came on young v J Schaefer could see with an acuteness which many ordinary people would m have given much to possess even in day time. . ? ^ There has been a great deal of \ rain in this section of the State this j week.
