A ] We certainly wouldn't want a man . wh< like Pope Havird turned loose in a community where we lived. ^ ^? The New York Sun's estimate of a gentleman has been going the rounds of the State press recently. Frankly, does any one know of such j a man?* ter] Keep your eye on the coming ses-- ^ a< t" 1"* P sion of the general assembly. It will Li*c be interesting to note what kind of ma a record will be made along the line eia of economy. ^ar res: Be sure to vote against the asylum fou bond issue next Tuesday. If the tax ma payers votfe a million dollar bond is- wai sue for the asylum next thing they ed will be called on to vote about the ed ' same amount for a new State house, so ^ * har We believe the parcels post, to be inaugurated the first of the coming ^v year, will be a great thing for the ^ country newspapers, for it is going to force the home merchants to advertise if they want to compete . ing With the mail order houses. . ?? flici It looks to us mightily like there Mr. was something back of the arrest Pisi of the three parties in Greenville mei charged with assisting in the escape ^or of Vaughn. He was of course as-1 to Kistpri in makine his escape, but it i &t will take more than his unsupported word to make us believe anything tha against anybody. wei ? unc One of the smallest things we not have heard of recently was the action of the commissioners of elec- js tion in Marlboro and Orangeburg W01 ' counties refusing to publish the no- thi< tices of election in the Pee Dee Ad- jn vocate and the Times and Democrat. Those papers supported Judge Jones, HA .and the action of the commissioners was in the way of revenge we guess. ^'ltl We have not noticed similar action in other comities. Roosevelt's new party claims to be cle* strictly a white man's party in the Mc< South, yet in the North negroes are noc admitted. There were several, ne- har gro delegates in the New York State en, convention, and they forced the con- on vention to adopt a plank in the plat- ed form protesting against discrimina- litt tion against negroes in hotels and Pre cafes. How many South Carolina ma men who are supporting Roosevelt to t would like to stop at a hotel with -wit their wives and daughters where ne- fat: groes were premitted? aga We must say tnat it iooks nae . . ach prohibition has been and still is a era failure in Bamberg county. Con- ^ ditions seem to be growing worse so ^ far as lawlessness and crime is con- ^ cerned, but whether prohibition is gr the real reason we are not prepared j to say. However, it is certain that there are more murder cases to be ^ tried at the coming term of court ver thanvever before, and several of these _ ma killings are directly traceable to ^ whiskey. There is a reason for such nei a heavy criminal docket at this court, ^ and no doubt different people will have different solutions of the prob- g lem. ? It will hardly be claimed, how- ^ ever, that prohibition has been productive of good results in Bamberg j, county, no matter how much oppos- - ' ed to whiskey one may be. Is it . ^ noi time for the good people to become aroused to conditions? , lad Cotton Market. mo wh Cotton is selling in Bamberg to- wit clay (Wednesday) at 11 cents the ing pound.

Bowman, Oct. 25.?A double gedy occurred yesterday on Mr. Y C. Pendarvis's plantation in up- fa * Dorchester county, near the Or- st geburg county line, the victims C< :h being negro men with families, J. rking 6hare crops with Mr. Pen- st wis. From information that could be ai :hered the parties were at work ^ I it is said that Jule Bowman, one m the victims, tok up a shotgun, I walked up to Jule Jones who was o< ir by and shot him at close range, lost blowing the entire head from ca i body, causing instant death. Bowman then, it is stated, started vc rards his house not far off, and af- v going a short distance sat down, * [led off one shoe and taking the 1 0C ing from it, tied it to one of his 3.1 s and the other end to the trigger - - * i - -9 j. J. _ ~ i ^fi. ills gun ana piacmg it to uis icn. e fired the weapon, the load en- se ing the body near his heart and dc ising death instantly. s? [t is said that there was no quaring or any words passed previous bl or the shooting. Mr. Olin. P. Evans, Tier R. F. D. No. 3 from Bowman, ;sed the place at the time of the gedy. The coroner of Dorchester hi mty was notified and an inquest m< 5 held that afternoon, but nothing of ther was obtainable as to the evi- ni ice, or finding of the jury as to hi cause of tragedy. It is indeed T1 emarkable case and unparalleled to this entire section of the country. H< aegro suicide is indeed rare any- he ere. Gi er GKO FIRES UPON CONSTABLE. el] et: t is Himself Shot by Edgefield Officer?Caught at Johnston. hi ' f e: Sdgefield, Oct. 29.?Yesterday afnoon Constable Moultrie, of this ? ia ce, armed with a warrant, went to W' home of Herlder Jones, a negro u, to arrest him. Jones lives sev- . f e: 1 miles in the country, and it was ni k when the officer reached his .. it idence. On reaching the house he nd the door fastened. He dended that the negro come for- * ' "d and surrender. This he refus- ' D( to do, whereupon the officer startlo enter the house, and as he did a the negro made his exit, gun in ^ id. Again he was ordered to surw i der, the command being answered ^ a shot fired upon Mr. Moultrie, be 1 although the men were in close ^ ximity the one to the other, the an 3 went "wild of its mark. The firnc was returned by the officer, inco ting two wounds upon the negro. Moultrie, who had emptied his tol, and was practically at the rcy of Jones, telephoned to town assistance, which was responded by several citizens. On arriving ga the scene the negro could not be av nd, ana this morning it develops ry t, after being shot, he hurriedly it to Johnston where he now is ed ler the care of a physician. It is nu thought that his wounds are te Lgerous. But for the darkness it na very probable that Mr. Moultrie Bi iiri htiva inst his life. Matters of I > kind are of very rare ocurrence this county.

I'll tell you one ^ ling. It's well for you that you m dn't come on me when I was heel- ja I. You'd never have lived to make n< lother arrest." Cavanaugh caught the boy and UI arched him. It has been known for rQ tys that the Brooklyn choir singer, n of a respectable family, living at tc 3. 7 Cypress avenue, who turned .-u 1 -1 A ^ irgiar a year ago, wnen ?*, was j P med. in Boy's Amazing Boldness. ar The boldness this boy displays in af s burglaries was such that for onths during the summer and fall se 1911 he puzzled the police. At pi ght he would play checkers with sp s father or mother until bedtime, ac len he would go to his room only 'Y sneak out later and rob a house. I 2 was captured after robbing the or ime of Mrs. Mary Sterns at No. 972 ev *eene avenue, where he took sev- 'y? al hundred dollars worth of jewry and cash, and two theater tick- th s. hi He used these theater tickets and hi s arrest resulted. He then con- oi ssed to twenty or more robberies, in That Raymond Beck, "the sweet- le ced boy singer." as he was called, b? is the burglar who so puzzled the ri, >lice was not believed until he con- P< ssed. First he was sent to the juvele asylum at Chauncey, N. Y., but M could not hold him, so cunning be is he, and he escaped from there pc arch 16. 'He was captured and pi nt to the Juvenile Protectory at U: )bbs Ferry. Ri As soon as he escaped from there fr series of puzzling robberies began, bj anday afternoon Mrs. Stern's home m is robbed again, the thief usin? gi '1 -a n ? e exact metnoas usea 111 uie ruu- ui ry a year ago. She went to Capt. at lhne at the Ralph avenue, station a id said: "If that Beck boy wer^ th >t in the protectory I would say *fr mmitted this second robbery." J ey "But he isn't in the protectory, in ^ has escaped." th Robs More Houses. ) The next day Mrs. Gertrude Bel- sp rd's home, at No. 899 Jefferson t0 enue, was robbed of money, jewel- ex 's jn and a revolver. . ; A series of robberies were report- se P( by the residents of Woodb-'ne aveLe. Two or three houses^ were en- ^ red almost every day. and Cava- w< hr ,ugh kept watch on that section of c V] ooklyn in the hopes of catching lymond. The boy was taken into Capt. uhne's office and searched and jew- ^ P( ly belonging to Mrs. Belgard was und in his pockets. ,fE "Sure, I did all those robberies, '. 111 f V lymond said to Capt. Kuhne, acrding to Kuhne's statement later" w "Hr 'd have done a lot more, too, if it .dn't been for this cop. He turned al e same trick on me a year ago and in 1 get him yet. See if I don't." The boy was asked why it was im- * ssible Tor him to reform. He burst it laughing and cursed Kuhne and SL ivanaugh for preaching to him. nc NOTE LEFT BY SUICIDE. - tu ri< irther Details of Death of F. Mi a? Brown, of Brunson. ec dc Brunson, Oct. 29.?Mr. F.
