SIh? lambent tfrralfc1 J 1 Thursday, Sept. 18, 1913 SHORT LOCALS. j( ; ] Brief Items of Interest Throughout: the Town and County. _ !'' Mr. R. S. Simmons has bought j ( the house and lot of Mr. M. A. Move, t 1 Tr I 1 J I) Mr. Henry F. Bamberg and family have moved into the McCrackin resi- j j dence. j 1 The rain has come at last, and j Bamberg folks are glad that the j j dust is settled. < The boys and girls are leaving 1 for college, and the town will be lone- 1 some without them. i The Home Mission Society will ' meet Tuesday afternoon at 4.30 J o'clock in the ladiec* parlor of the J Methodist church. A full attendance is requested. 3 The Carlisle School opens next s Wednesday morning. Appropriate ex- 6 ercises will be held, to which the public is cordially invited. The enrollment will be very large. Messrs. B. E. & L. H. Grandy, who j are now erecting the new dormitory ( for the Carlisle School in this city, j have been awarded the contract to j erect a new Baptist church in Sumter to cost about $20,000. I We are changing the dates on lots of labels these days, as our subscrib- < ers are renewing ^-ery nicely. Look ] at your label and seesif yours needs t renewing; if so, do so at once. We t do not care for subscribers who are s slow to pay. Mr. H. M. Graham has purchased the residence on Railroad Avenue known as the Cauthen house, recently owned by the estate of Mrs. W. W. Steedley, and later sold to Mr. Smith, from whom Mr. Graham purchased. He and family will move into it in a few days. Our patrons are urged to let us have their changes of ads. early. It is impossible to change ads, for everybody when they all come in late, as is usual with our advertisers. We must insist that copy for changes be in our hands not later than Monday night, or the ads. connot be changed for that week's issue. Mr. J. W. Price, of this city, has rented the Simms plantation, below Midway, and will operate it next year. Mr. A. J. Hunter has been renting this place for a number of years, and now that he is forced to leave it, he is offering all his farm machinery, corn fodder, etc., for sale. See his ad. in this issue. Bamberg needs another building * and loan association and needs it bad. Another such institution could ? f be easily organized here, and we hope somebody will go to work and solicit subscriptions to the capital stock. A number of houses would be built here if there was an association in existence where the parties could t obtain money to build with. Let's c ' have another association. Bamberg s must grow. t Mrs. Jones Williams will entertain y to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at four o'clock with a linen shower, < complimentary to Miss Inez Lemacks, of Beaufort, who is visiting here, and who will become the bride of Mr. L. P. McMillan next month. Invitations ] in the shape of a heart have been ^ sent out, there being two tiny hearts < as well on the larger heart. Mrs. 1 Williams is well-known as a gracious t hostess, whose affairs are always in j exquisite taste, and a most delightful l occasion is looked forward to by those who will be present. 1 Special Term of Court. A petition has been prepared by the local bar and forwarded to the governor, asking for a special terra of court here, beginning the first Monday in November. Chas. Carroll Simms, Esq., of Barnwell, has been named in the petition as presiding judge. The regular term of court is to convene here on the second Monday in November, and this special term is asked for to clear up all the criminal cases and other matters in order to give time for two weeks in the trial of civil cases and the clearing of the calendar, as many cases are now awaiting trial. It is thought the petition will be granted and the special term held. New Teacher. Miss Leona Thomasson, who taught in the high school department of the Bamberg graded school last year, resigned her position some ] weeks ago in order to go to Chins, 1 where she will teach the children of i the missionaries. She came down at ] the onenine of the school last week 1 and taught until her place could be filled. She left for her home last Friday afternoon. Miss Berta Newton, of Bennettsville, has been elected to fill the vacancy, and she arrived in Bamberg Monday afternoon. Miss Newton is a graduate of Converse College, and has been teaching for several years. FIRE FRIDAY MORNING. ??? I Large Sale Stables of Black & Black j Totally Destroyed. ; 1 Las: Friday morning about four D'cloc-k the large sale stables of , Black & Black, situated on .\iain \ . >treet. was found to be on fire, and j although the fire department turned put in a short time, it was impossible :o save the building, it being a large Tame structure, but the fire was kept from spreading to other buildings. \gain has the water works saved the business portion of the town, for had :here been no water there is no telling where the fire would have stopped, as the store of the F. W. Free 2o. was already on fire in the rear when the water was turned on and :he store of G. A. Ducker was almost 1 ready to burst into flames. The Free store is situated North of the stables 1 md the Ducker store on the South side. ( The fire originated in a small house aext to the stables in which a lot of ;eed cotton was stored, and the flames spread rapidly. As soon as the alarm was given Messrs. H. W. Herndon md H. Li. Hinnant, who were first on :he scene, broke open the stables and ^ iberated the horses and mules, so no , ive stock was destroyed. A few sec- t pnd-hand wagons were saved, these r peing in the lot, but a number of new r puggies and wagons, a lot of harness, j ptc., was destroyed in the burned } milding.. Just before the water was turned t m the fire looked serious, as Mr. tree's store was already on fire in c he rear, Mr. Ducker's almost ready o catch, and as other stores on Main ^ street are right up against these, the ^ ire might have been a most serious ^ )ne. The barn of Dr. J. B. Black was tlso destroyed, and Dr. Robert Black c tlso lost a lot of lumber which was ^ stored in a house near these build- j ngs. A number of stalls belonging ( o Mr. E. C. Hays were also burned, md while the meat house of Mr. W. j D. Rhoad caught on fire, it was put >ut, but was damaged considerably. e The wooden pump house at the oil J anks was also destroyed. Black & Black had insurance on he buildings and contents amounting t o $2,500, and their loss is no doubt ^ >5,000. A lot of fodder and other eed in the loft of the stables was ost. In fact practically nothing was i saved from the buildings except the j lorses and mules. They are hauling c umber now and will rebuild at once. . i Dinner Party. Another pretty compliment for Mrs. All's charming visitors, Mrs. ' Walker and Mrs. Lewis, was the iinner party given by Miss Marie Williams at the Gildare Hotel on Friday evening. Covers were laid or eight, and a course dinner was ;erved.?Allendale Herald. The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg at hirteen cents the pound.

I Millen, Ga., Sept. 13.?Mrs. Edna ^ Perkins Godbee> to-day was found j juilty of the murder of Mrs. Florence s aodbee, wife of her divorced hus- ] :and. Mercy was reccommended by i :he jury. The verdict was returned t it 9.10 this morning after the jury nad been out thirteen hours. Mrs. Florence Godbee and her hus- s )and. W. S. Godbee, a prominent resi- <v lent of this place, were shot to death iy the convicted woman on August IS. The killing occurred at the Milen postoffice. Mrs. Godbee was immediately arrested and on Sept. 9 .vas indicted for the two murders. \ Her trial for killing Mrs. Godbee j tvas called Thursday. Only a small lumber of witnesses were examined, ( :heir testimony dealing with details if the crime. The accused woman ( :ook the stand and told of alleged mistreatment by W. S. Godbee. ( Two minutes after the jury re:urned its verdict Judge Hammond ( sentenced Mrs. Godbee to remain in the penitentiary the "rest of her \ natural life." She stood while sen- j tence was pronounced. Her daughter, i Sarah, broke down and wept audibly, < out she was as calm and stoic as she , had been through the trial. , The case has excited the keenest interest throughout the State. Mrs. j Jodbee claimed as a defense that she ] had long been mistreated by her hus- } J it LI U UC1UIC a LIU siuvc ma Ui I Wi , md that he applied a vile epithet to i tier as he entered the postoffice on ] the fatal morning. Her excuse for . killing the Judge's wife was that af- j ter she began shooting she was so , excited she did not know what she . did. The dead woman was from Williamsport, Pa. , The defense is expected to apply for a new trial at once, and if this is ienied to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. ! Xew Advertisements. a H. C.

Rhoad vas the scene of a lively reception Wednesday afternoon in compliment ;o the Cradle Roll and mothers of rrinity Methodist Sunday-school. The increasing activity ana unianng interest in the welfare of the iabies and the pleasure of the mothers is shown every year about this ;ime since Mrs. Rhoad has been in w :harge of this department of Sunday- L school work. Her hospitable doors were opened vide to the older guests, while the jeautiful shady grove across the way vas fairly alive with the little tots vhose interest seemed to be centered around a large table bountifully ipread with dainty good things to ?at. The committee appointed to ook after these little ones did their iuty faithfully and well. Delicious < efreshments were served by the k lostess to the guests in the parlor. The Sunday-school made a wise selection when they appointed Mrs. Ihoad superintendent of this departnent. She keeps in touch with all he babies, never forgetting to send . hem a birthday card. Several have A >een promoted to the Sunday-school fl his year, but others have been se- fl :ured to fill their places. The roll B "?nrt' nnm K/Orc fn'nn+r.oiv Wfi ha. HI A \J ?

Where is there a bettor dace to begin than from the cradle? The baby is generally the center of ill ittraction in the home, and the Sunlay-school that gets hold upon the ittle ones thereby gains access to jvery member of the family. Porch Party. Jir i Beautiful in every detail was the )orch party given by Mrs. Harry All Tuesday morning in honor of her quests, Mesdames J. Norman Walker md J. C. Lewis, of Bamberg. The vide screen porch was beautifully ^e; lecorated with gorgeous ferns and by langing baskets. When all had aslembled and the gaiety of the mornng was in full sway, cards were jroduced and Rook was made the br< ;ame. Mrs. A. A. Patterson, who wb vas the lucky winner of the first in ?rize in the game of chance and be; ikill, was presented with a bottle of me -ludnut's extract, and the guests of *bi lonor with hand painted sandwich au1 rays as souvenirs of this occasion.
