Thursday, June 19, 1913 a**.-. The number of people wno have moved to Bamberg in the last few years in order to take advantage of our educational facilities shows that the town can make no better investment than good schools. < The governor should and no doubt will receive the commendation of all good citizens for his efforts to stop the sale of whiskey on the Isle of Palms on Sundays and week days as ! well. 'He is also to be commended for 1 * I P placing the ban on Sunday sports. Why should the anti-dispensary people of this county have their print- | ing done by a negro press when there ; are two printing establishments run by white people in the county struggling to get along? And what makes it doubly worse is that the negro press spoken of is supported by contributions from northern millionaires. i' Truly this is a queer old world. The governor says that he is going to put on the lid at the Isle of Palms and in Charleston next week for the meeting of the editors, and that if any editor buys liquor or beer from a blind tiger he will have the 6eller arrested and will require the buyer to give bond as a witness. The governor seems to want to make the press meeting dry, but he should remember that the editors don't have to go to Charleston or to the Isle of falms to buy whiskey. They can get all they want from the wide-open *" " * * * 3 blind tigers in tneir own towns ana j take it with them?if they want it. Since it is settled that there is to be an election on the dispensary question in this county, some interest is being taken. The temperance organizations at Bamberg and Denmark are circulating considerable literature on the subject, and it seems now as if a strong fight will be waged the anti-dispensary people. The fight has not progressed far enough yet to judge the result with any degV> gree of accuracy, and the election will not be held until the third Tuesday in August. However, we know that numbers of people in this county are disgusted with present conditions, as liquor is being sold openly, without any attempt at concealment, but whether those who are opposed to blind tigers or open bar-rooms, as they are at present, will vote for a return of the dispensary can not be forcasted. FIVE ROSES PAY YEAR'S REXT. Marin Uv rnr nf Phiirr'li OUpUiailV/11 iTAM\?V JL?J V V- V? X/?? v ? Ground is Carried Out. Five red roses today paid a year's rent for ground worth $20,000, that being the stipulation made with Baron Stiegel, in 1772, for the lot of ground on which Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church stands, says a Manheim, Pa., special. The morning services were held in the church and this afternoon the red rose ceremonies were held, attended by thousands. M. G. Chaffer, representing the church, presented the annual stipend to Annie L. Boyer, of Harrisbnrg, a Stiegel descendant. Each person attending the ceremonies was expected to bring a red rcse. These were collected from the vast throngs and sent to hospitals in this and adjoining counties. A similar payment was made today at Myerstown, by the congregation of Tulpehocken Reformed Church, a red rose and a white rose being paid Edward Hacker, of Philadelphia, a lineal descendant of Casper Wistar, who, in 1745, leased 100 acres as a church site. ELEVEN ENTOMBED IN SUBWAY Lives Crushed Out Under Tons o Hock in New York Disaster. New Y'ork, June 14.?Eleven live are believed to have been lost in disastrous cave-in eighty feet undei ground on the new subway construe tion of 56th street and Lexingto avenue this evening, when thirtee men of the crew of thirty-two drill ' * * * x ers ana laoorers were huuiuucu. At 10.30 o'clock six bodies ha been recovered and five were report ed still buried under many tons o rock and earth. Two injured me: were rescued, but one of them profc ably will die. Five hundred laborers were quickl assembled at the scene in an effort t dig out the buried men. Accordim to the police and fire authorities i may be hours before some of th bodies are reached. There appear to be no hope that any of the mei have escaped death. There is a conflict of opinion as t< whether the cave-in was due to i blast or the collapse of timbering There are two levels to the subwa; construction at this point, the uppe one for local trains and the lowe one for express trains. It was th' ceiling of the latter tunnel whicl caved in. A policeman who gave thi first alarm following the accident stated that he heard a loud blast an< it was at once succeeded by the crie of wounded and dying. Robert Ridgeway, engineer ii charge of the public service commis sion, after an investigation announc ed that the cave-in was directly trace able to a blast. The rock at thi: point is faulty, he said, and the shor ing timbers gave way for a distanc< of twenty to twenty-five feet. Firemen early on the scene discov ered that a rock weighing severa tons had fallen on some of the burie< men. It could not be moved by th< means at hand and probably wil have to be blasted before the bodie underneath it can be recovered. Thre< priests descended into the tunnel ii excavation buckets to administer th< last rites of the Church if any of th< men were rescued still alive. Most of the dead whose bodies hac been recovered were foreigners ant their identification awaits the tally ing of the numbered brass check; found in their clothing. 4 White Man Kills a Negro.

JAILER AVERTS LYNCHING ?f SINGLE-HANDED, FOILS PLANS OF COLLETON MOIL s a Crowd of Fifty Attempts to Take I Obbie Boges from Walter- ] n boro Jail 11 Walterboro, June Hi.?What came near being a lynching at the county j jail here on Friday night just came / to light this morning. On account ^ of the taciturnity of the officers of the law, the attempt to take Obbie Boges, colored, from the jail and lynch him, was not made public until this morning, after the prisoner had ^ been transferred to the Penitentiarv, o in Columbia, for safe keeping. Lucas Padgett, deputy sheriff of Colleton County and keeper of the 0 # jail, had quite a stirring time with the would-be lynchers, when, in the early hours of Saturday morning, a crowd of about fifty came to the jail and, by sending forward one of their number wljo was well known, receiv^ ed admission into the jailer's quarters of the prison. I Deputy Protects Prisoner. Threatening to enter the room, ^ where - the wife of the jailer was sleeping in order to secure the keys to the cells, the crowd was held back by the deputy sheriff at the point of 1 the gun, and seeing the determination of Mr. Padgett, they finally desisted in their efforts and left the 1 jail, but threatened to return later. The trouble was started by the negro, Obbie Boges, beating his wife severely, for which he was placed in S jail. The warrant, however, was ' withdrawn, and Boges returned to his home, near Stokes, in this county, to find that his wife's father, it is said, ? j had carried his wife away by force and with her had taken nearly all of Boges's worldly goods. . ~ Wounds Father-in-Law. | Becoming enraged, the negro went ? immediately to the house of his . ? I wife's father, and shot the old man, inflicting painful, but trifling wounds. 1 " He then went to the town of Stokes, J where, acting on the advice of the magistrate, who had boon notified of j the occurrence, Mr. J. M. Bennet, a prominent citizen of that town, attempted to arrest him. & The negro resisted, and attempted ^ to shoot Mr. Bennet. After a struggle Mr. Bennet secured the gun of the negro, an old-fashioned muzzle- ? a loader, and held Boges while the wife * of another well known citizen made him fast with ropes. After being scurely tied the negro made threats j against the entire settlement, stating J a that he would kill the entire crowd " as soon as he could get out of jail, ^ and it was these threats which later . j led to the attempted lynching. Lodged in Jail. a t Deputy Sheriff Padgett being noti- ? ? fied of the arrest of the negro, went 1 early Friday morning to Stokes, but ' on arriving there the person who had the negro at first refused to turn him _ 3 over to the officer, but after much * 5 discussion decided to do so. The negro was then brought here and . lodged in jail, and it seemed that 1 j nothing more would be said or done . about the affair. s At 1 o'clock Saturday morning, Do^orott nnoTioil tho iail rlnnr 1 j V1UUC1 A U^/VUVU WMV JV%*4 t leading into his living apartments, c x after someone had knocked loudly 1 , thereon. With a rush, more than ten I i men entered the apartment. Threat- | i ening to hold the officer while others i entered the room where the jailer's wife was asleep the crowd was about ? to put such a plan into effect when ? Mr. Padgett hastily regained the en- I trance to the room, and held the crowd back. Threatened to Blow Up Jail. Through their spokesman, the crowd then threatened to blow up the back of the jail and secure the ' _ prisoner by that method, but Mr. _ Padgett urged them to go away. t Seeing the grim determination of the s officer, the crowd left the jail, and } after holding a conference returned and notified the officer that no fur* ? - 1-3 1- - 3 - XT X v tner attempts wuuiu ue maue umi night. Later on Saturday, messages were ( received by the officers, in which it a f was stated that the crowd would try ' , again on Saturday night. This led R to a heavy guard being stationed in ^ the jail all night, but Sunday came i without the appearance of the lynch- | ing party. Ordered to Penitentiary, a The officers before this had gotten 3 in touch with Governor Blease, who 1 ordered the prisoner carried to the J 1 Penitentiary, which order was carried out on Sunday, and the entire - affair made public this morning. It appears that the negro was a I f desperate character and quite a terror to the community, and this was probably the cause of the attempted | \ s lynching, for the crowd had learned to take the negro at his word and | V wanted to remove him before he r would have a chance to carry out his * threats. Certainly the bravery and the de termination of Officer Padgett prevented the lynching.
