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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
