We 3 need the money. Mr. C. W. Rentz has been confined 1 to his bed several days this week , from a bilious attack. The editor of The Herald has cer- ] tainly led a estrenuous life the past < , week, on account of the illness of j Mr. Laurie Smoak, clerk in the post' office, as we have double work to do. Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg have given up housekeeping and are boarding with Mrs. J. C. Lewis, they ] having sold their home on Railroad 1 Avenue to Mr. H. D. Free, who will ] occupy it in a few7 weeks. J Mr. W. H. Ritter sends us a check for $1.50 more for the Woodrow Wil- ( son campaign fund, as follows: J. J. ? Kearse $1.00; H. J. Ritter 50 cents. Mr. Ritter says he hopes to send ad- ^ ditional contributions in the near fu- ture. i We want a competent young man ' or young lady to act as clerk in the ' postoffice for a few weeks, during the ' illness of Mr. Laurie Smoak.

( Does he think the business men of Bamberg would waste $20,000 or more on a project, and then let it fail . without completion? j Mr. H. Jack Riley happened to a ] very painful, and what came very < near being a serious accident, last < Tuesday afternoon while attempting < to lower a shade in the Peoples < Bank. In some way his foot slipped ] while he was reaching up for the shade and he fell, his right hand go- 3 ing through the sash, it being badly < cut in several places. ] All the young lady teachers of the graded school, except Miss Gertrude Davis, who was detained by illness, have arrived and begun their work. Misses Zeigler, Dibble, and Martin are at the Johnson Hotel; Misses Roseborough and Bryan are at Mrs. Hand's; Miss Dobson is with Mrs. J. C. Dewis; Miss Thomasson is at Mrs. Armstrong's, and Miss Newsom is at Dr. Robert Black's. As will be seen by an advertise- i ment in another column, Mr, H. 1 Jack Riley will continue the insur- 1 ance business of his late brother, Mr. i W. Paul Riley, in the interest of him- j self and Mrs. Kathleen Riley, i "Jack" has practically had charge of i this business during the past five years, and it is safe to say that every- i one will receive the same courteous ] and careful attention in the future as they have in the past. Monday morning, September 10th, Raymond, the 14-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Smith, died at their home at Olar. The body of the little one was brought to Bamberg and interred at South-end cemetery here Tuesday morning, the 11th, Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, conducting the services. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their affliction. We hope our subscribers will remember us when they sell their coV ton. We have been carrying you during the dull months and the people from whom we have been receiving our supplies have been lenient with us with the understanding that we would pay as soon as cotton commenced to be marketed, and they are now wanting their money. We cannot meet our obligations if our frieinds do not come to our rescue. While your account may be small every little bit will help. Funeral of W. Paul Riley. The funeral of W. Paul Riley took place Saturday afternoon at five o'clock, the body being laid to rest in South-end cemetery. The services were largely attended by the friends and relatives of the family, and'were very impressive. Rev. T. G.

One of the saddest deaths that has jver occurred in this community was :hat of Mrs. Susie Kearse Brabham, ;vife of Mr. Joe Frank Brabham, the md coming Tuesday afternoon of this veek, about two o'clock. Mrs. Brablam had been sick for only a short :ime and her many friends had no dea the end was so near. She was getting along nicely until Tuesday morning when she grew rapidly vorse until death came. The burial took place yesterday ifternoon in the family cemtery at \iizpah church at Buford's Bridge, :hat historic spot wnicn was tne lome community of the deceased and nany of her relatives. Rev. W. H. rlodges, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, conducted the services. Mrs. Brabham was about thirty:hree years old. She was born in the 3uford's Bridge section of this coun;v, being the daughter of Dr. Henry W. Kearse, a prominent physician vhose death occurred some years ago. She leaves three small children, Norna, Henry, and Carrie, and her hus>and, as well as several brothers and sisters, her mother, and otherVelaives. Mr. and Mrs. Brabham moved o Bamberg several years ago, and luring that time she had made num)ers of friends who sorrow crver her mtimely death. Mrs. Brabham was a member of he Methodist church and -a consecrated Christian woman. While her lome and children were never negected, she was always ready and wiling to lend her aid in church and charitable work, and the friends she nade socially appreciated her real vorth. As a neighbor and friend she vas true and sincere, and the writer nay be pardoned for a personal refsrence. It was our pleasure to be lext door neighbors for several years, md during the trouble that came to ts she was all that any friend could )e, and her sympathy and aid durng that trying time will never be orgotten. She was one of the noblest vomen that ever lived, and her place n the home circle can never be fillid. A. good woman has gone to her eward, and while the sorrowing rnes cannot understand why this should be, they have the consolation )f her beautiful life and example, day God in His mercy comfort the sorrowing husband and other loved >nes.

The superintendent presided and an- nounced that the devotional exer- ] cises would be conducted by Revs. ; W. R. McMillan and W. H. Hodges, pastors of the Baptist and Methodist churches of Bamberg. The exercises were very appropriate for the oc- j casion. 1 After the devotional exercises very helpful and instructive talks were ? made by the two pastors present and Drs. Geo. F. Hair and J. B. Black. JJUV;il OpCUAV. I VA VAAV UUTUii tages that the school offered and urged every pupil to allow no oppor tunity to pass to make the very best of his school days. Dr. Hair's re- i marks were along the line of medi cal inspection. We wish that every parent could have heard his remarks, j Every teacher except Miss Ger- , trude Davis, who was detained on ac- ; count of illness, was at her post. ( Miss May Zeigler has the first grade:. , Miss Ruth Dibble, the second; Miss Belle Cooner, a substitute for Miss Davis, has the third; Miss Ollie Lee 1 Dobson, the fourth; Miss Irene Bry- i an, the fifth; Miss Louise Martin, the < sixth; Mrs. J.

Allen is principal of the de- < partment and teacher of geometry and physics; Miss Hattie Newsom, i mathematics and science; Miss Kate Roseborough, Latin and history; Miss Leona Thomasson, English and history.

These new teachers, with . one exception, are teachers with very successful experience and are highly recommended. At the present, from every standpoint, everything points to a banner . year for the school.

The son, J. W. Greer, who was an ex- j aminer in the customs service at Ma nila, died of fever on the voyage 1 across the Pacific. The younger Greer recently wrote . his father that he was ill and would < leave on the Logan for the continent. Funds were low and the father found it necessary to mortgage the home. With an eager throng he awaited the coming of the ship to-day. In response to his anxious inquiry, a deck officer led him astern and silently '' pointed to the casket. < May Be Pals of Train Bandit. j Xew Orleans, Sept. 12.?Frank 1 Bookcut, Walter Love and George s Bernstein were arrested here last i night by special agents as possible i accomplices of Howard E.

He was at home last night. We had retired when the trouble commenced. I told him there was a tramp in the 1 TT ? _ 1. _ - 11 yara. ne was crawiing on nis an fours. I heard him say hold up your hands. Father had no gun then. Mother told father to get his gun. The lot was about as far from the house as across this hall. Father ?ot his gun and told mother to get the light. They went towards the lot. In a few minutes I heard the gun shoot. I then heard mother cry, and father said I have killed Paul Riley. The body was in the lot." Cross-examination: "There was no light in our room when I saw the man at the window; when I told father, he came and saw Lhe man. When father and mother went out we went in the front room. [ heard the shooting and heard father say, I have killed Paul Riley. All of our family occupies the same room, and there was no street on the side of the house I saw the shadow. All of us was undressed." Re-direct: "Father was outside when he told the man to hold up his hands. The street is on the south and east side of the house, and the lot is on the west. Father went to the window, Lhe man was running off. Father ran out in the yard and said hold up your hands. Father was in his night clothes. "REBECCA DICKINSON." Mrs. Dickinson's Statement. Mrs. G. Moye Dickinson, being duly sworn, says: "I am willing to testify in this case. I heard my husband say it is a man, and went out the'back in the yard. I heard him say, hold up your hands, and heard them run. Moye said bring me a light. I told him to get his gun. He came in and got his gun. L took the light in the yard. When I went back we went to the stables and searched all around. I saw a man run out of the stables. I could not see what took place. He was between me and the man. I had a lantern, but it gave a poor light. I heard one shot fired. We were near the stables. The man did not fall, and ran several steps. Moye fired again; the shots were almost together. Previous to shooting, Moye called, hold up your hands. The man made no reply. He had before that called hold up your hands. Moye said, hold the light, and he saw it was Paul Riley. When the man was running I told Moye to shoot. Don't know how he was dressed. J didn't know who it was until after the shooting. Mr. Dickinson did not know. We had been asleep; had on our night clothes^ There was no " - ^ * - - * T street on tnat siae 01 me uuusc. i was about ten feet from the man when he ran out of the stable. The light was very poor. We could not tell if it was a white man. He had never been in my house. Mr. Riley and my husband were not on good terms; did not speak. Had not spoken for five years. I saw Mr. Riley after he fell. He fell on his face. Did not see anything in his hands. Did not see him attempt to do anything to Moye. He never spoke. There was nothing in the stable. Mr. Riley was cashier of the Peoples bank. They had not had any recent trouble. This was about 1 o'clock. Only saw one wound in the back of the head. Moye was just a few feet ?about ten feet?when he fired the irst time, and he fired the second shot almost immediately. "MRS. G. M. DICKINSON." Dr. Stuckey's Testimony. H. J. Stuckey, being duly sworn, says: "E. Dickinson, V. Aunds, Ethridge and myself were among the first to arrive after the shooting. We were told by a negro that Mr. Dickinson had killed Paul Riley in his lot. We went into the lot with a lantern, and the first thing we saw was Mr. Riley's hat. We went on and found Mr. Riley lying on his face in Mr. Dickinson's lot. I examined the body and found a wound about three inches in diameter in the back of his head; some brains and blood were near him. I said to the policeman, Mr. Dickinson, that wc search to see if he had any weapon ofl him. I afteward found a wound in the left shoulder joint. This and the other wound being made by a gun shot? two gun shots. The wounds found were sufficient to cause death instantaneously; death was the result of the wound in the head. "H. J. STUCKEY, M.

Terrible Aftermath in Famous Fort Worth Murder Case. Amarillo, Tex., Sept. 14.?A1 Boyce, Jr., the young cattle man whose elopement last October from Fort Worth with the wife of John Beal Sneed, Amarillo banker, was followed by the detention of the couple in Canada, the return of the woman to Fort Worth and later the killing of the young man's father by Sneed, was shot to death here late to-day. A few moments later, Sneed, clad in overalls, and hardly recognizable because of a hairy growth of beard, surrendered at the coroner's jury, and was formally charged with the killing. Preliminary examination was waived by the banker, and he was ordered held to await the action of the grand jury, which will convene in regular session Monday. Boyce, who.recently returned from Canada, was walking along one of the principal streets of Amarillo, when Sneed advanced to the middle of the street'and opened fire with an automaitc shotgun, firing three charges. Boyce fell in the doorway of a church and died in a few minutes from the effect of 30 buckshot, which struck him in the right side. Boyce's aged mother and his. two brothers were on the scene in a few minutes. In the meantime Sneed voluntarily made his way to prison and submitted to arrest. Besides the weapon with which Boyce was killed, Sneed was armed with two revolvers. He announced to the newspaper men that he had no statement to make. The disappearance of Mrs. Sneed from a Fort Worth sanitarium last fall was later followed by her detention with Boyce in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mutual friends brought about a reconciliation between the banker and his wife, and Boyce was released from rnst-ndv aftar thp rrmnlft had re turned to Forth Worth. Boyce, Sr., was shot and killed in a lobby of a Fort Worth hotel on January 13 last, because of remarks he is alleged to have made derogatory to Mrs. Sneed. Sneed was tried for the killing, but the jury was unable to agree, and pending a second trial, which is set for November 12, he was released under bond. Make Two States'of Georgia? Atlanta, Sept. 12.?North Georgia legislators refuse to take seriously the news of the alleged movement in Waycross to cut the State of Georgia in two by amendment of the United States constitution, making two States, one of North Georgia and one of South Georgia. The principal argument thus far sent out by the South Georgians in favor of the radical move in an agricultural one. They contend that the two sections are so widely different in soil and climate that information furnished to South Georgia from North Georgia institutions is often of no use yet the South Georgians pay, they say, a full proportionate share in the up-keep of the institutions. MUST FLEE FROM CUPID. Hazelton Teachers Promise to Dodge His Darts. Before successful applicants for positions in Hazelton township, Pennsylvania, schools were permitted to start work, they were forced by Superintendent James Gabrio, to submit him in writing a promise that they would not fall victim's to Cupid's darts during the nine months' school term. Some of the teachers refused to furnish the written promise, and they were informed that' they could get no schools. This threat caused them to change their minds, and the last promise has* been received. It is understood this rule of the school has delayed a few mid-winter weddings. The school board made the demand to prevent a scarcity of teachers after the term was under way.?N. Y. Tribune. Down- the Scale. A certain bride Is very much in love with her husband and very willing to admit it. She likes to sound his praises to her mother and to her girl friends. She has a number of original expressions. When her husband is good she says he is "chocolate cake three layers deep." When he is very good he is "chocolate cake four layers deep," and so on up the scale. Occasionally, however, things take a turn. The bride's mother dropped in the other day. The bride was a trifle peevish, but her mother pretended not to notice this. "And how is John to-day?" was her inouirv. "Chocolate cake four layers deep?" "No." "Three layers deep?" "No." "Two layers deep?" "No." This with a pout. "Then what is he?"
