Interesting Annual Meeting Held with Ehrhardt Church. Ehrhardt, Oct. 24.?The Barnwell Association, comprising all of the white Baptist churches of Bamberg and Barnwell counties, numbering 40, has just clsoed a three-days' meeting with the Baptist church at this place. This is an old and honorable body, having produced some of the most useful and distinguished men of the denomination; among them being the Rev. Wesley Lawton, missionary to China; Dr. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, and Dr. Robert J. Willingham, of Richmond, Va. Senator J. B. Black, of Bamberg, presided over the meeting, while Attorney W. E. Free, of the law firm of Mayfield & Free, Bamberg, served as clerk. The introductory and missionary sermons were preached by the Rev. W. R. McMillan and the Rev. W. L. Hayes, respectively. Drs. Robert W. Lide, J. E. McManaway and J. W. Guy led the discussions on home, foreign and State missions, respectively; while the leading address on education was made by Dr. Hall, president of Coker College for Women. The meeting from start to finish : ? mu* r>,? T7i was a ringing success. xue xvev. a. A. McDowell, pastor of the church, and his committee, were untiring in their efforts for the comfort and pleasure of their guests, while the town and community fully sustained its reputation for genuine Southern hospitality. Would Adopt Little German. . Charleston, Oct. 26.?"Take me out for a walk; I won't run away, ' said Hans Freidecker, the smallest and cutest prisoner that the Charleston county jail has ever held within its walls. As he said it he grasped Jailor Bennett's hand and placed it on the big shot gun standing in the corner, as if to say, "You can shoot me with this if I try to escape." He is only ten years old and his eyes are as blue as the sea itself, and he is as pretty a little German boy as was ever born in the Kaiser's domains. He has a winning way about him, too, and Jailor Bennett would have given a good deal to have granted his request and taken him out for a walk. But he had to harden his heart and disappoint the litle lad; for the law is a stern, hard thing, so stern and hard that in the sight of the law it makes no difference how little you are or how harmless or how beautiful and blue your eyes [ may be. Hans, as was told, is a prisoner at I the Charleston county jail because he was shipped by his father on the steamer Moorlands as a stowaway at Bremerhaven, Germany. At Savannah Hans's father deserted the ship and the little lad was brought on to Charleston. Little boys who cross the ocean as stowaways are not allowed to land in this country except as prisoners of the United States government, and so Immigration Inspector Howard, who keeps a lookout for stowawa?ys at Charleston, had to make Hans his prisoner and place him in the county jail. There he is to remain until he is placed again on board the Moorlands just before the steamer is ready to begin her return voyage to Germany. FACES FIVE SEPARATE CHARGES Wave of Handkerchief Alleged Cause of John Smith's Troubles. Spartanburg, Oct. 23.?Because, it is alleged, he simply waved his handkerchief at a lady, John Smith, age 34, of Chesnee, has been sent up to the higher courts on several different charges. It seems that Smith spoke to the lady and a warrant was issued for his arrest, charging disorderly conduct. Joe Kimbrell was a private citizen of .that section and was deputized to make the arrest. Kimbrall did not know* much about the uuties of an officer, it is alleged, and he, in turn, deputized several other citizens as officers of the law. The small posse of officers were in hiding along the road when their man came by. They sprang out at their man, Smith, who, much frightened, it is said, drew his pistol and fired several shots at the posse. He was later caught and faces a charge of waving his handkerchief at the lady, carrying concealed weapons, discharging them on the public highway, assault and battery, resisting arrest and prehaps other charges. INFLICTS 4'WORST PUNISHMENT" Judge Sentences Moonshiner to Care for Latter's 18 Children. Albany, Ga., Oct. 23.?Albert Cowert, of Miller county, entering a plea of guilty to illicit distilling today, told Judge Grubb, of the United States court, that he has been married 17 years and that 23 children have been born to him in that time, of which 18 are living. "I sentence you," said Judge Grubb, 'to go home and care for those 18 children. That is the worst punishment I have in my power to impose." BAMBERG HAS PROSPERED. m All Industries Have Gone Ahead During the Year. J Bamberg, Oct. 26.?The past year, as a whole, has been a prosperous one for Bamberg county as regards agriculture and industry. The principal income of the county is derived from the cotton crop, and most of the industries are more or less de- K pendent upon this product. Since this time last year a large amount of cotton was produced in Bamberg county, though the crop now being gathered is smaller than the crop of last fall. Good farming lands, situated near the railroads-, compare fa- H vorabty with any lands in the State, ? and command a high price. The year ? has been a good one for other crops than cotton. The Bamberg Cotton Mills com- ^ pany has had a successful year, show- ? ing a marked increase in' business E over the preceding year. The Cot- p ton Oil company, located at Bamberg and Denmark, has had a good year, E though the grade of oil has been poor this fall. Plans are now on foot for the erection of a fertilizer mixing plant and warehouse at Bamberg, |p* and which will materially aid the industrial life of the county. The various lumber plants of the county have done well, and have turned out a large quantity of material. All of = the seven banks are in good shape, and have paid their customary dividends. For the merchants the year g has been a very good one throughout the county. A great many cars of live stock have been sold at Olar and Bamberg. Much progress has been made on the railroad from Bamberg to Ehr- # ba.rdt, a distance of 14 miles. The entire length of the road has been graded, and in a few weeks all of the ties will be laid. This road will be of great benefit to the county, and will aid in the development of a large section of farming lands.?Bamberg correspondent The State. S ACCUSED OF*ROBBIXG MAILS.

Rising in the midst of a large auditorium in the church at Vinita, * Okla., Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the ? speaker of the house of representa- | tives, pointed her finger at the speak- | er, H. T. Laughbaum, and told him g he was deliberately misrepresenting ? the attitude of her husband toward | the Shephard-Kenyon bill that was I pending before the last session of | congress. | Laughbaum declared that when g every effort possible was being made g by Prohibition leaders or tne country to get this bill reported from the committee the influence of the speaker was used against them. "That is untrue," declared a woman who arose in the middle of the house. "I am Champ Clark's wife, and I know that you are misrepresenting his position. You have no right to do it, and I am pleased to tell you so.?Oklahoma City correspondent N. Y. Tribune. THOUGHT DEAD, STILL ALIVE. Return of New Orleans Man Stops Suits for Insurance.
