BARNWELL ASSOCIATION.
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

ACCUSED OF*ROBBIXG MAILS.
Two Express Messengers Arrested
and One Confesses.
Omaha, Oct. 25.?rostoffice inspectors
last night arrested* Frank
X. Whisenand, of Chicago, and Benj.
R. Day, of Omaha, both employed as
express messengers on a charge of
robbing the mails.
Day confessed and informed the
postoffice officials of the location in
the northern part of the city of the
loot taken from "tie sacks" of mail
which had been sent by express.v The
officers went to the place designated
and recovered a large number of =
packages. g
According to Inspector Ranger, of
Creston, Iowa, claims aggregating
$25,000 have been filed with the f
postoffice department for lost pack- I
ages shipped- in recent months over (
lines between Chicago and Omaha g
which have been carried in express
cars.
According to officials Day's confession
involved Whisenand in the
robbery.
WIFE DEFENDS SPEAKER.
Mrs. Champ Clark Telle Accuser He
Misrepresents Husband.
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.
