SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Commencing with last Tuesday,
September 2nd. the Bamberg post
office was made a postal savings
bank depository.
There is to be a dance at the
river to-morrow (Friday) evening.
A number of out-of-town visitor3 are
expected.
Mr. Prevatt and Mrs. McDonald,
of Schofield, were married at the
Johnson Hotel last Sunday by Judge
of Probate G. P. Harmon.
Messrs. J. M. Grimes. W. H. Faust,
and J. B. Kearse were appointed
Tuesday by the governor as the dispensary
board for this county.
As Monday was labor day and a
legal holiday, the post office observed
?. Sunday hours, while the rural carriers
did not make their usual trips.
Rev. W. H. Hodges writes us from
Hendersonville, X. C., that he will
' preach at Trinity Methodist church
next Sunday morning and night, September
7th,
The Barnwell Baptist Sundayschool
convention convened in this
city, at the Baptist church, yesters
day morning, and a good crowd of
delegates are in attendance.
Monday was the first Monday in
the month and salesday, but there
was not a large crowd in town. Farmers
are too busy gathering cotton to
come to towp much nowadays.
*' While the post office is closed on
legal holidays, persons can get

a supply here on holidays to accommodate
the patrons of the office.
Mr. J. M. Grimes says the people
in the country used to sell hogs to
the people in town, but now the situation
has been reversed, for he sold
some hogs this week to a gentleman
who lives in the country.
The fall session of the Bamberg
graded school commences next Monday
morning. Every child who will
attend school should be present on
the opening day and start work with
the others. Parents have little idea
how it handicaps their children to
keep them out of school for a fewweeks
at the commencement of a
session,
Headmaster Guilds states that the
outlook for a large enrollment at
the Carlisle School is most encourag?
ing. Indications at present are that
the school will enjoy the largest enrollment
in the boarding department

which is progressing rapidly,
is completed the school will be one of
/ the best equipped in the State.
Miss Beulah Hiers, of Hampton,
has been employed to teach the primary
classes at the Carlisle School
for the coming session. Miss Hiers
is a graduate of the Carlisle School
and of Winthrop College, where she j
did special work in the primary department.
The school authorities
consider themselves fortunate in securing
the services of Miss Hiers.
The dry weather continues, and
cotton is opening rapidly in this section.
It is being gathered and mar-1
keted at a rapid rate, and the receipts
at this market were very large
last week for the time of year, nearly
two hundred bales being received
last Saturday. Prices are good, and!
many farmers are already paying up

summer. The outlook for business
this fall is very bright.
The contract for boxes and equipment
for the Bamberg post office has
been let to the Leesville Mfg. Co.
This firm does high class work, and
they will give the office an equipment
second to none. The screen work
and boxes will be of quarter sawed
oak, highly polished, and the overhead
work will be of glass in panels.
Altogether the outfit will be of the
very best, and it will no doubt be a
big advertisement for the Leesville
people, as this class of work has
heretofore been done exclusively by
Northern firms.
Dies When His Home Burns.
Anderson. September 2.?F. W.
Jones, a white man about fifty years
of age, was burned to death in his
home on the outskirts of Pendleton

ana nis nouse anu coiuvllis weic ucstroyed
last night, in a fire which is
supposed to have been started
through his own carelessness. Jones
was drinking yesterday, it is said,
and ran off members of his family.
It seems that one of the boys returned
later, when his father was not
noticing, to secure his clothes and he
noticed that the father had built a
roaring fire in the stove. It is presumed
that the fire started from the
stove and that Jones's condition prevented
his getting out. A charred
mass of bones and flesh was found in
the embers.
Ikwird of Control Recommended.
Under the provisions of the dispensary
law the legislative delegation
in each county recommends a
county board of control to the gov.
ernor for appointment. In accordance
with this provision, Senator J.
B. Black and Representatives J. A. ,
Hunter and B. \Y. Milev held a meeting
here last week and recommended
for appointment the following
gentlemen as the board of control for ;
Bamberg county: Mr. J. M. Grimes. 1
of Bamberg; Mr. W. H. Faust, of
Denmark; and Mr. J. B. Kearse, of <
the Kearse section.
The Cotton Market. !
The receipts of cotton continue
large at Bamberg, and the price is '
going steadily up. The government c
report was issued Tuesday, and show- 1
ed a very low percentage for cotton, A
which boosted the price, although *
the market has been strong ever (
since the season opened. The receipts
here up to to-day (Wednesday) were
about seven hundred bales, and the
price to-day is 12% cents the pound. 1

If you don't like it in the United (
States this summer go to Aden. Ed ^
Howe has lately been there, and the j
following are some of the pleasant i
things he says of the place:
"At 9 o'clock this evening we came j
to Aden in Arabia, said to be the j
hottest town in the world. Every j
drop of water used here is condensed
I from the sea, although there is a
white population of 2,000, including
English soldiers, and an Arab popula- s
tion of 40,000. There is a tradition f
that rain fell at Aden three years ago,
and that every roof in the town leak- e
ed; but previous to that time no rain 1
had fallen in the town or its vicinity
for many years; many of its elderly i
citizens had never seen a rainstorm, s
and looked with wonder upon the one s
tj-Vi f^ll tViroo vosrc ncrn X ETpntlft- i
man who lives at Aden says he pays
$20 a month for water, which is delivered
at his door in tanks drawn by
camels: Some of the numerous shops
in Aden sell nothing but condensed
and bottled water and the price in
quantity is usually a dollar a hundred
gallons. Many years ago great tanks
were built at Aden to catch the precious
rainfall, but these have not
been in use for many years, although
tourists usually visit them."
CHARGED WITH KILLING COUSIN
Negro in Colleton Jail, However,
Claims Self-Defense.
Walterboro, August 30.?DeLeon
Murray, colored, was committed to
jail this morning by J. O. Ackerman,
charged with the murder of his cousin,
William Murray, near Cottageville
in this county, on August 26. The details
of the affair are hard to get,
but it seems that the two negroes
were in the woods at the time, and
that the negro who was shot lived
long enough to make a statement,
in which he charged the other negro ]
with shooting him without cause.
However, the ne'vro in jail strongly ,
contends that he shot in self-defense.
The inquest was held by Magis- J
trate T. M. Reeves, of Cottageville,
the verdict of the jury being death
at the hands of DeLeon Murray.
HELD OX SERIOUS CHARGE.
Lexington Wliite Man Accused of
Attempted Assault.
Lexington, August 30,?Deck Alewine,
a white man, was lodged in the
Lexington County jail by Sheriff Sim
J. .Miller this morning upon a warrant
charging him with attempted
criminal assault, his alleged victim
being a white girl over 16 years of
ige. The warrant was sworn out at
the instigation of the girl's father.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed on Tuesday of this week,
vhile the girl was on the way from
tier home to the Lexington Manufacturing
Company.
Alewine is more than 4 0 years of
lge and has a family, some of his
ihildren being almost grown. Unless
the case is settled otherwise Alevine
will be held for trial at the Sep;ember
term of General Sessions
Dourt.
The Next Worse Life.
The preacher has a hard time. If
lis hair is gray, he is old. If he is a
-oung man, he hasn't had experience, j
f he has ten children, he has too
nany; if he has none, he should have
'hildren, for he is not setting a good
ixample. If his wife sings in the
:hoir, she is presuming; if she does
tot, she is not interested in her hus>and's
worlf. If a preacher reads
rom notes, he is a bore; if he speaks
ixtemporaneously, he is not deep
mough. If he stays at home in his
tudy, he doesn't mix with the peo>le;
if he is seen around the streets,
te ought to be at home getting up a
;ood sermon. If he calls on some
ery poor family, he is playing to the
;randstand; if he calls at the home
f the rich, he is autocratic. Whatever
he does some one could have
old him how to do it better. He has
. fine time living off donations which
tever come in and promises that
lever mature. Next to being an edior,
it is an awful life.?Fayetteville
