It is not generally believed that the ^
denunciation of newspapers general- c
ly by the governor will cause any a
newspaper man to renounce the pro- \
fession. t
Wonder if Blease won't issue a t
proclamation forbidding the assem- a
bling of the State Press Association a
next summer? It is evidently a c
treasonable body in his estimation.
If the merchants of Bamberg do f
not soon organize a credit association
many of them will lose considerable t

money oy oaa aeDis. it is true mai \
most of the profits of many of the a
business houses in town is on the c
ledger. s
Congressman Janvcs F. Byrnes has *
introduced a bill in congress provid- t
ing for a public building and site *
at Edgefield, to cost $100,000. It i
is all right for Edgefield to have a
public building, and we want to see s
her get it, but Bamberg should have i
a government building first. I
*
There was no contest over the election
of a chief justice for the State
Supreme Court, ana Eugene B. Gary
was elected without opposition, al- r
though it was understood that oth- 1
>ers of the associate justices would s
be candidates for the place. We are s
thankful, however, that there was no
unseemly scramble for the position a
and we have more respect for some 1
of the justices than formerly. 1
In reference to the article in last 1
week's Herald from a citizen of the 1

pie down there wanted the railroad
extended down that way, we respectfully
remind them that anything
worth having never came without
effort, and if they want a railroad
they will have to make some effort to
to get it. \ If they are in earnest in
this matter, they might get together
and send a committee to Bamberg i
to confer with the promoters of the ^
enterprise or those engaged in build- (
ing the road. But if the citizens of ?
Smoaks do anything it should be done i
soon. i
Bills have been introduced in both
the house and senate by the Orange- >
burg county delegation providing for 1
an election in that county on the <
question of dispensary or no dispen- 1
sary. As Orangeburg is an adjoin- 1
ing county to Bamberg, it would be
well to include this county in the act. ?
Certainly we do not want this coun- <
ty flooded with liquor from the Or- i
angeburg dispensaries. We do not
know whether our people want the
dispensary back or not, but they
should be allowed to vote on the 1
question if Orangeburg does. The
State should not be part wet and part :
dry any way.
Hayne F. Rice, Esq., of Aiken, the
new judge of the second circuit, was
born and raised.in Bamberg county
and practiced at the Bamberg ba~
for several years before removing to
Aiken. However, while he is a Bam
berg man, we suppose if he had remained
in Bamberg he would never
have been elevated to the bench, as
it seems to be the policy of all other
counties in the second circuit not to
give Bamberg anything. We shall
contend for the solicitorship this
year, however, and we feel that we
ought to have it. We have the man
for the place and it is only simple
justice that this county have some
consideration.
The newspapers should be proud
if the enemies they have made?the
governor of South Carolina especially.
There is one thing we have to be
thankful for, and that is that the
newspaper men of the State do not
juarrel much among themselves.
Thev throw bouquets at each other
most of the time.
It is very evident that the members
of the house of representatives
lave a prejudice against voting for
umbers of the senate for any position.
It has been freely stated, by
those in position to 'know, that had
lot Geo. H. Bates, of Barnwell, been
i momhor nf the senate he would
lave been elcted judge last week. He
-eceived the vote of every senator except
three, and this seems to have
seen resented by members of the
louse.
Six Killed in Wreck.
Philadelphia, Jan. 14.?Six persons,
five women and a man, were
silled when an express train on the
STew York division of the Pennsylvania
railroad crashed into a light
station wagon at the Linden avenue
jrade crossing in Torresdale, a sublrb,
to-day. The dead are:
Charles Davidson, aged 50 years;
Nellie O'Connor, aged 19 years; Brid;et
Malloy, aged 24 years; Agnes Garty,
aged 22 years; Agnes Gallaghen,
iged 18 years; Mary Roddy, aged 20
ears.
The dead women were all employed
as servants in fashionable homes
n Torresdale, and were being conreyed
to church when the accident oclurred.
Davidson was the driver, for
i local liveryman and had been makng
the trip every Sunday for the past
wo years. The Linden avenue crossrg
is usually guarded by a watchman
>ut the regular man was on leave of
ibsence, and his substitute had not
ippeared when the coach reached the
:rossing.
Davidson waited for a freight train
o pass and then drove directly in
font of the approaching express.
The horses managed to clear the
rack, but tthe engine struck the
vagon square on the side. Davidson
ind Agnes Garrity who were seated
>n the front seat were tossed to the
;ide track, but the four other women
vere thrown directly under the
wheels of the train and when their
>odies were recovered were so badly
nutilated that it was necessary to
detified them by their clothing.
Agnes Garrity was still alive when
he was picked up but died while beng
conveyed to Torresdale station.
)avidson was dead when his body was
ound fifty feet from the tracks.
Bereft Hubby Won't Eat.
Chicago, Jan. 15.?Albert Braun,
nanager of a specialty company here,
las been deserted by his wife and as;erts
that he will eat nothing until
;he returns.
She has been gone nearly 48 hours
ind Braun declared last night that he
lad partaken of no food since she
eft.
When Mrs. Braun went away she
eft a note telling him that she was
eaving because she thought she was
i hindrance to his success. That day
le received an increase in salary. He
lurried home to tell of ner his luck
>ut when he arrived there she >vas
;one. The couple had been married
ess than a year.
Missing Heiress Found.
New York, Jan. 15.?Violet B.
Jrhler, the missing Chicago heiress,
vas arrested this morning at the
corner of First avenue and Seventieth
street and taken to the police sta:ion.
She had been working in the
leighborhood as a nurse, taking care
5f a sick woman.
Miss Uhrler admitted her identity.
She told the police that she came
tiere over a month ago with the idea
Df seeing the world. She declared
that no man had anything to do with
tier leaving home..
The girl is worth $100,000 and
disappeared from her Chicago home
n November 25. Kidnapping was
suspected at first.
The Bench's Distinction.
A long-winded attorney was arguing
a technical case before one of
the judges of the superior court in
a western State. He had rambled on
in such a desultory way that it became
very difficult to follow his line |
of thought, and the judge had just
yawned very suggestively.
With just a trace of sarcasm in
his voice the tiresome attorney ventured
to observe: "I sincerely trust
that I am not unduly trespassing on
the time of this court."
"Mv friend." returned his honor,
"there is a considerable difference
between trespassing upon time and
encroaching upon eternity."?Lippincott's

POOR BOY FOR HUSBAND.
Salesman Elopes With the Daughter If A
of New York Capitalist. if/f
Atlanta, Jan. 6.?In a little suite I
of rooms in the Aragon hotel, where I I
they have been since Sunday night I I
when they were quietly married at I I
the home of Dr. Len G. Broughton, I
are Mr. and Mrs. Ben Daniels, anxi- I I
ously awaiting word from D. D. Du- I
Pree, New York capitalist, retired I I
lawyer and?vastly more important I
?Mrs. Daniels's father.
The marriage of the two, solemn- I I
ized Sunday night, was the culmina- llll
tion of a romance of a year's dura- ||||
tion that began at the Hampton Ter- I
race hotel in Augusta last winter, Ijll
summered in New York, spent the I
autumn in the mountains of Tennes- II
see and came to Atlanta New Year's ||||
for the last act. I
Not since Mary Elizabeth DePree, I
traveling with her father last win- ||||
ter, met Ben Daniels, of Atlanta, I I
then a traveling salesman for the ]|l|
National Cash Register Company, l|||
but now employe in the office of the |l||
Bowser Tank company, in Peachtree I
street, have the pair ceased to battle |||
against the father's objections to the [|||
match.
But, as always, young love found a ||||
way, and while D. D. DuPree sat in III
his hotel apartments in New York l|||
Sunday night planning a European ||l|
trip for himself and his daughter, I
"Betty" DuPree, as she likes to be I
called, left the home of her grand- ||||
mother in Dayton, Tenn., changed ||||
cars at Oakdaie ior Atlanta ami was mi
married to the man her father ob- j
jected to.
Mrs. Daniels was perfectly willing |||
to talk of her marriage at the Ara- |||
gon hotel Friday afternoon, especially I
when the reporter promised word II
from her father. She was bundled |||
up in bed in a fluffy pink blanket as |||
she told the story of the romance.
"I don't know what he will do I
now," she said laughing. "Maybe he I
will disown me, because he didn't |||
want me to marry Ben. You see, |||
he had a man all picked out and laid |||
away on the shelf for me.
"No; there is no use me telling 111
you who he was. I called him 'Billy,' |||
and 'Billy' was a pretty nice boy? III
but?" 4 HI
Then young and pretty Mrs. Dan- |||
iels?she is nineteen and tall?drop- III
ped long black lashes over a pair of |||
wide blue eyes and smiled broadly. |||
"As long as you know so much |||
about the marriage I might just as lltt
well tell you the whole story, if you y!!j
must know it," she continued, push- ^
ing back a mass of heavy black hair. ?
"I don't know why it was that
father objected to my marriage with
Ben, excepting that he was strong for
Billy, but he took me away from Au- &
gusta, and tried to keep me from *1?
writing to Ben.
"Then he sent me to Dayton to vis- ft*
it grandmother. You know we live ?}?
in Tennessee, but spend most of our
time in New York, and father wrote
me to come on to New York and we ?X?
would go abroad and to Bermuda. '< 5|i
"I had it all arranged, and when if;
i <*
I left Dayton I just changed cars at jj*
Oakdale and came on to Atlanta. l\ Z
That was last Sunday. Ben met me
j
at the station and we went to Dr.
Broughton's house and were married. y
It was funny, Dr. Broughton knew ?!?
*A*
right away that we were runaways.
He said: 'You two have run away to l\Z
get married. I can tell the symptoms.'"
<?
Mjs. Daniels would be called remarkably
pretty. She is of the French jR
type with dark hair, blue eyes and jjk
clear translucent skin. !fc
"We are only going to be in At- 3J
lanta for another week," she said, tn
"I want to hear from father. I wrote fjf
him Friday, but we haven't heard a
word. I expect that we will both go jt;
to Florida for the winter?Dayton or ! ?
Palm Beach. We haven't decided 5;
yet." $
Ben Daniels is well known in At- R?
lanta. and has been here for several
years. He was formerly connected jR
with the local force of the National
Cash Register company, but-is now
employed as a salesman on a com- J J
mission basis for the Bowser Tank Sj?
company in Peachtree street. He ij
could not be located by a reporter
for the Georgian Friday afternoon.
According to information received
from New York D. D. DuPree is on j,
his way to Atlanta. It is understood a]W.
that Mrs. Daniels-, then Miss Mary en01
Elizabeth DuPree, left her grand- as
mother's home in Dayton, Tenn., with was
$800 for spending money, which is him
helping pay honeymoon expenses. O
