?hr Sambrrg iKrralh Thursday, Sept. 25, 1913 ! SHOBT LOCALS. j 1 Brief Items of Interest Throughout ^ the Town and County. i Note the new ad. of Avers & Wil- * liams of Orangeburg in this issue, i j 1 The milinery openings this week J < brought a number of ladies to town, j j pfrontc Viavp nrosented a live- i i tile Otl ? v r - ? ? ly appearance. J ? The Salem school, in the Denmark 1 community, will begin its session on 1 October 6th, with Miss Georgia Emma Jordan as teacher. c , . . c The county chain gang is now in camp on the Hunter's Chapel road, near Mr. G. E. Hutto's. Work is being done on this road. The cool weather of this week has been much appreciated, and as the \ weather has cleared up, cotton pick- i ing is progressing rapidly again. i On account of the opening at Carlisle School this (Wednesday) even- 1 ing there will be no prayer meeting e services at Trinity Methodist church. * A post office has been establish- j ed at Edisto. The office is called T Embree, and was established at the j instance of the Edisto Lumber Com- s pany. a The U. D. C. scholarship commit- I tee met Sept. 14th and awarded the v young man's scholarship to Mr. e Clyde Kearse, of Olar, S. C., and the i: young lady's ;o Miss Mamie Morris, of Bamberg. Mrs. Jones A. Williams entertain\ ed last Friday afternoon at a linen t cVinwor for Miss Inez Lemacks, and I v Mrs.H.J.Brabham entertained Tuesday afternoon of this week with a J shower for Miss Lemacks. c The notice of the county treasurer, v published in another column,is inter- ^ esting to those who believe in educa- a tion, for it shows that many school e districts in this county carry a spec- * ial levy in addition to the three mill v constitutional tax. What we want s to see is better school houses in more ^ of the districts. There could be great improvement along this line in many districts. a Congressman A. F. Lever wishes to announce that he has secured ? from the department of agriculture a number of bulletins on the game laws for 1913, a summary of the provisions relating to seasons, export ^ sale, limits, and licenses, and if any one desires to secure one of these e interesting bulletins will drop Representative Lever a card, he will gladly see that the same is sent to their address. The Bamberg Guards are to be inspected on Wednesday, October | Sth. It will be remembered that the company did not make the showing the adjutant general thought they should at the last inspection and u he recommended that they be mus- c tered out of the service. However, * they were given another chance, and ? if they make good at the approach- r ing inspection they will remain a a part of the State militia; if not, they t will be disbanded. * f A press of other matters caused us to forget to mention in our last week's issue the death of Rev. S. P. t Chisolm, which sad event occurred r the Saturday before at his home in the Colston section. Mr. Chisolm was seventy-odd years old, and leaves ? v a widow, a son and daughter. * He had been a minister and teacher j for many years, and many persons whom he trained in early life remember him with love and affection. He t had been in bad health for some time. The boys and girls have been coming to town in numbers for the past day or two, to attend the Carlisle T.-V.ac-q foil coccinn rmpnpd to- I ^ ov^auui, Tvuvot Ian -r ? ? day (Wednesday.) Opening exercises will be held this (Wednesday) evening, in the school auditorium, to which the public is cordially invited. The enrollment so far is much larger than ever, and more will no doubt come in the next few days. There is no question but that the new dor- ? mitory now being erected will be easily filled. ] Get Your Ads. in Early. Again we beg our advertisers to J let us have their copy for ads. not later than Monday afternoon of each 1 week. It is a physical impossibility ? to give good service when ads. are brought in Wednesday morning. Last ( week our force set up two half page j ads. Wednesday morning, besides doing the other routine work of getting to press, also setting a number of small ads., and as we go to press Wednesday afternoon it can easily c be seen that we cannot print our paper on time if ads. come in so late. 1 We want to oblige our customers, ] and we want all the business we 1 can get. That's what we are here s for, but there is no reason for ad. ( copy being so late coming in. s In Honor of Miss Lemacks. Beautiful in every detail was the linen shower given by Mrs. J. A. Williams at her home Friday after10on in honor of Miss Inez Lemacks. ;i popular bride-rto-be: Receiving .vith Mrs. Williams was Mrs. J. X. Walker and Mrs. J. C. Lewis. After neeting the bride each guest regisered in a dainty bride's book presented by the hostess. Eight tables svere placed for rook, and several spirited games were played, the ucky cut falling to Mrs. G. Frank 3amberg, a hand painted almond :et. The guest of honor was then presented with a dainty piece o:f land-embroidered lingerie. After a delicious salad and nut ,'ourse, little pink shells with a tiny mpid in gold, filled with rice, was landed each guest. Then, to the strains of the wedding march, play;d by Miss Annie Leu Byrd, a beauifully decorated express wagon, filled with lovely gifts for the bride, vas drawn in by little Miss Mary Udrich Wyman and Master Jones ^.ngus Williams. The whole lower floor of the >eautiful home was thrown in one md decorated in pink and white, his being the color scheme. Mrs. .Villiams wore a beautiful gown of rish lace over pink; the lovely bride ras dainty in a hand embroidered ingerie over pink, with hat and hoes to match; Mrs. Walker wore t lovely black charmeuse; Mrs. .ewis wore a pretty blue and white oile over pink.

HODGES, Pastor, Railroad Avenue, Bamberg, S. C. Xo Routes at Present. Postmaster Knight recently took ip the matter of the establishment if the two additional rural routes rom the Bamberg office with Congressman Jas. F. Byrnes, as the outes were surveyed several months nriH nothing had been done about he matter, so far as he knew. Mr. Syrnes writes that the appropriation <?r rural routes has been exhausted, .nd that no more can be established his year. However, he feels sure hat he will be able to get these outes through for us next year. So, .11 the patrons can do is to possess heir souls in patience until next ear, but they can rest assured that he postmaster and Mr. Byrnes will :eep right behind the matter and let the routes just as soon as posible. There is no question but that he routes will be established later. New Advertisements. Mrs. E. A. Smoak?Farm for Sale. Avers & Williams?"The Seed and >ed Men." Chas Ehrhardt?For Sale. W. H.

Patrick, one of the | j oldest as well as one of the most j ! highly respected citizens of this comj munity, died suddenly at his home last Saturday night, appoplexy being the cause. Dr. Patrick went out to his lot about dark to look after his stock, and not coming back promptly, his son, .Mr. \V. H. Patrick, went out to look for him and found him lying on the ground unconscious, with a halter in his hand, which he was going to put on a mule to water the animal. Physicians were summoned immediately, but he died in about half an hour, never' regaining consciousness. The burial took place at Southend cemetery Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. jW. H. Hodges, of Trinity Methodist church, where Dr. Patrick had been a member for a number of < years. He was assisted by Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the Baptist church. The pall-bearers were: Dr. O. D. Faust, J. M. Grimes, J. H. t Dixon, H. C. Folk, E. L. Price, and G. A. Jennings. Dr. Patrick was born a few miles below Bamberg, and lived in this section all of his life. He was seventy-six years old. His wife was Miss Elizabeth Geiger, of Lexington county, who died several years ago. He leaves one son, Mr. W. H. Patrick. Dr. Patrick was a confederate veteran, he having enlisted at the beginning of the war and serving until the close. He made a gallant soldier, and wore a cross of honor, bestowed by the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. He was a good man and a good citizen. * m ? l Death of Mr. Monroe Kmard. Ehrhardt, Sept. 23.?A distress- ^ ing accident occurred in about three miles of this place on Saturday night ir which Mr. Monroe Kinard, one of the finest young men of our community, lost his life. Mr. Kinard and his friend, Mr. Joseph Hiers, both of whom are engaged in business in Ehrhardt, left here after business hours Saturday night, on their wheels, to spend the night and Sunday at their parents' homes in the St. Johns community. Unfortunately they carried in their pockets each a pistol. They decided before entering a dark and lonely wood, through which the county road that they were traveling led them, that they would fire off their guns merely to be shooting. Mr. Kinard fired several shots and Mr. Hiers tried to follow suit but = his gun refused to fire. Whereupon he unbreeched it, and in doing so it in some unaccountable way was dis- ^ charged, the load, a 32-caliber, taking effect in Mr. Kinard's body just below the heart and passing through his left lung. Supported r bv his friend, he walked a short ? j, distance in the direction from whence n they had come, when they met Mr. Perry Kinard, a brother of Monroe 0 Kinard, who took the wounded man 1 in his buggy to the nearest neigh- a bor's, where medical aid was sum- 0 moned. The physician, however, * thought that there was nothing that * could be done, and about 1 2 o'clock s on Sunday he died. Before his v death he asked that no censure be e 4 I attached to his friend at whose * h hands he had been wounded, as the *' occurrence was entirely accidental. Mr. Kinard was a quiet, sober, in- 1 dustrious young man, and leaves many friends to mourn his untimely * death. T His bodv was laid to rest at St. 0 Johns church in the presence of a very large concourse of people, the E Rev. E. A. McDowell, his pastor, con- 13 ducting the burial exercises. THREE SHOT DOWN BY BANDITS, d t Jewelry Clerks Resists when Told to 0 Throw Up Hands. s Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 18? b Two robbers with drawn revolvers b entered the jewelry store of J. J. A Thompson here early to-night, com- r manded the clerks to throw up their I hands, and when they refused, open- h ed fire. John A. Thompson and Ed. J Smith fell dead and Paul Townsend * was probably fatally wounded. The t bandits escaped. i The three victims were alone in the store when the robbers entered, o Townsend, who was taken to a hos- c pital, was able to tell the authorities s only a few words concerning the trag- 3 edy. f The clerks were placing watches j and jewels in their cases for the a night, when the men, masked, enter- E ed and demanded that Townsend throw up his hands. Townsend refus- I ed, tried to grapple with the men \ and was shot down. A bullet pene- c trated his neck. He believes the other employees then rushed to his y assistance and were killed. r The jewelry store is almost in the e heart of the business district. Pedestrians were passing while the robbers t I were within. One person informed r the police he heard three shots fired. Policemen nearby also were attracted by the shooting, hut the robbers i fled before they arrived. t ; I An inspection < 11 win convince y pared to supply with the Famous Hai either in the one-f This Wagon needs n praise, for in purchc you know from the < bors that there are NONE nn the market.
