The merchants of Bamberg had t
better be waking up to the possibili- 1
ties of developing their trade when
the parcels post system goes into ef- i
feet, or they may find that the mail t
order houses are taking some mighty c
good business away from them. With c
telephone lines extending to many t
farms and rural routes all through 1
the country, there is no reason for p
farmers to come to town to do u. " I
shopping, but they will send orders a
over the 'phone and the parcels post t
will deliver the goods at their doors p
s
It looks like it would be a good ^
idea for city council to refuse a li- t
cense to newspaper agents who solicit c
subscriptions from the negroes, giv- t
ing them some sort of a farm paper
for three years and a premium of q
some sort, all for $1.00. These pa- f
pers are attempting to build up a E
big rural circulation in order to h
charge big prices for advertising of v
mail order houses when the parcels 0
post goes into effect, and they would c
send the paper free if they were not s
forbidden by the government to do b
?
South Carolina representatives in
congress and the senate will be of
much importance when the Demo- r
cratic administration takes charge
next spring. This comes of our t
State wisely not changing congress- c
men every few7 years, and sustains 11
what we have always contended, 1
that a State always loses when it c
changes representatives in Washing- ^
ton, provided, of course, that there
is no real reason for displacing them. 11
If all of South Carolina's delegation t
were practically new men, the State k
- d
would suner Dy 11, especiauy uuuer a
Democratic administration. South 11
Carolina men will have the best po- p
sitions in the house and senate next
year. * ^

tThe proposal to issue bonds for h
one million dollars to improve the t<
facilities at the State hospital for
the insane was defeated in the recent
election. While a small majority of e
the Voters cast their ballots in favor of
the bonds, the resolution calling
for the election provided that there
must be a vote of three-fourths in or- | /
ders to issue the bonds. Therefore,
there will be no bond issue, and very
properly so. However, the legislature
appointed a commission which
has bought a lot of land and commenced
the erection of buildings,
something that was entirely out of
place. They should have let the
taxpayers vote on the bond issue before
they commenced work. As it is
now, the work ought to be stopped
unless the taxpayers authorize further
expenditures. The trouble with
. South Carolina largely is that we
have a bunch of legislators who know
entirely too much.

Jeffries, editor of the Nowata Advertiser,
was acquitted yesterday of the
charge of murdering Mrs. Irene Goheen,
an advertising solicitor employed
by him. The jury had been out
since late Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Jeffries, who has managed
the paper for her husband while he j
was in jail, fainted and fell into Jef- j
fries's arms when the verdict was 5
announced.
Mrs. Goheen's body with the skull
crushed was found in a pasture last j
April. Jeffries was arrested on cir- !
circumstantial evidence. He attribu- V
ted his prosecution to political ene/
mies.

BOLI) HOLD-UP IN FLORENCE.
Farmer Robbed of $129 by The
Negroes.
Florence, Nov. 26.?Mr. J. C. M
Lendon, a well-known farmer of tt
county, was held up by three neg
mffians at High Hill Creek Satu
lay afternon and robbed of $129
?old cash.
Mr. McLendon, who lives on ai
'arms the T. C. Willoughby lane
six miles south of this city, on t
Evergreen road, left his home ear
n the morning with a wagon lo;
)f long staple cotton for Darlingtc
Reaching that place he sold his c<
:on and received the money in cas
svhich he placed in his purse and
:he breast pocket of his coat. Short
ifter noon he started for his hor
:hrough this city.
As he was oassing along the ro;
.eading to Florence from Darlingtc
dv the side of the Coast Line tracl
i most frequented thoroughfare f
vehicles, he was held up in the Hij
FLill Creek swamp, one mile east
Palmetto, and robbed of his mone
Mr. McLendon, as soon as he cou
?et away, hurried to this city ai
-eported the matter to the sherif
)ffice and a party was hurriedly ma
IP, with Deputy Sheriff Cain
jharge, and rushed to the scene in j
lutomobile, but it was impossible
capture the highwaymen, as they hi
nore than two hours' jump on tl
searchers.
Mr. McLendon said that Saturd:
norning when he passed along ]
loticed three negroes sitting on tl
ligh trestle at that place, each
hpm bavin? a hievole. He thoue:
ittle of it at the time.
When he returned in the afterno<
md, just as he crossed the fir
>ridge, which is the Darlingt(
ounty line, he saw three men con
tut of the swamp between the tv
>ridges on the Florence county sid
They approached him with drav
>istols and ordered him to hand ov<
lis money. This he refused to (
.nd endeavored to bluff them off 1
hreatening to shoot them if they a
?roached further. He had nothing
hoot with and soon saw he was ;
he mercy of the highwaymen, and a
er again being demanded to shut
?ut his coin he again refused. I
his time one of the men had jumpt
nto the wagon behind him ar
uickly slapped Mr. McLendon in tl
ace and placed his hand over h
aouth; he ran the other hand ini
lis pocket and secured the wall
-rith $129. They then left him, secu
d their bicycles and made their e
ape. After leaving, Mr. McLendc
aw them changing coats and hat
ut did not know or recognize ar
f them. He can do so should he s(
ither of them again, he says.
The party from Florence, aft<
eaching the lonely place where tl
eed was committed, followed tl
rail of the bicycles and men for
onsiderable distance towards Dar
agton, but finally lost it entirely, i
bey would walk awhile and the
arry their wheels on their shou
ers.
It is thought that the negroes, se<
ig Mr. McLendon pass along wit
he cotton early in the morning, an
nowing he would return that wa
uring the day, followed him to Dar
igton watched him sell the cottoi
lace the money in his pocket, the
umped on their wheels, returned 1
ligh Hill Creek and awaited his con
ig, knowing they could overpow(
im and escape without being d<
ected.
