While out hunting last Thursday
Wesley Banks killed a partridge of
unusual color. It had a number of
white feathers in its back, which is a
. .. . f
very unusual. However, the bird ~
was good to eat, all right. .
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.

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. Smith, has been elected a a
teacher in the graded school to fill SJ

the faculty of the school/?Orange- H
burg Times and Democrat.
Mr. E. F. Free, who has been g
carrier on one of the free rural j.
routes out of town, has resigned and
has accepted a position with A. Rice
as book-keeper. Mr. D. Felder, the
substitute, is carrying the mail on
the route at present, and an exam- ^
ination will be held some time soon ^
for a regular carrier.
Next Monday evening is the time
for a regular meeting of Bamberg
lodge, Knights of Pythias. Officers ^
for the ensuing year are to*be elected.
Let every member be present, es- ^
pecially those woh have not been at- q
tending regularly recently. The p
lodge must take on new life if it is e
to be kept alive. Just a few members
cannot keep it going. a
Rev. J. H. Graves, now pastor of if
the Methodist church at Latta, was fi
married last Wednesday afternoon tl
to Miss Anna E. Connor, the cere- t]
mony taking place at the home of si

ville. Revs. E. O. Watson and Peter h
Stokes were the officiating minis-5 h
ter&. 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

New Superintendent. (
Mr. G. D. Ryan, of Wedgefield, J
Sumter county, who has been elected
as the new superintendent of the
electric light and water plant, arrived
in the city last Saturday, and has i
assumed his duties. Mr. Ryan sue- i
ceeds Mr. E. V. Camp, who resign- ?
ed to accept the position of chief en- i
gineer for the H. S. Jaudon En- i
gineering Co. of Savannah. 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. ( Their many 1
friends here will regret their depart- (
ure. Mr. Ryan is a graduate of i
Clemson college in the electrical de- \
partment, of the 1910 class, and J
comes highly recommended. We 1
want the patrons of the plant to co- i
operate wun mm in every puasiuie ;
way so that good service may be ren- I
dered. Let every patron pay his I
bills promptly and notify Mr. Ryan s
at once if there is any cause for com- i
plaint as to the service. j c
A Sad Death.
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

JKEN OFFICER SHOOTS NEGRO

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

e could not blame the officer foi

r. 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.

SENDS BULLET INTO TEMPLE.

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

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.
