?hr Hamhrrg iErraii) Thursday, October 9, 19132 SHOUT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout t!ie Town and County. Col. W. G. Smith has opened a cotton office in Orangeburg and is buying both long and short staph cotton. tVnvi- hac mmmencod on the re * ' VI x\ UUV.' v V * ? building of the large sale stables of Black & Black, which was destroyed by fire some weeks ago. Never have we seen the people in this section more contented than this fall The high price of cotton seems to affect the spirits of everybody. New subscriptions and renewals are coming in very nicely these days. While we appreciate them, we want more. This newspaper ought to have double the circulation it has. The report of the government shows that up to September 25th there had been ginned in Bamberg county 7,509 bales of cotton, as against 4,900 at the same date last year. If your label shows that your subscription has expired, better renew promptly. There is no time like the present, when everybody has money, and we cannot afford to send the aji. paper on creu.i. There will be a meeting of the Francis Marion Bamberg chapter U. D. C. at the home of Mrs. J. J. Jones on Tuesday, October 14th. A full attendance of members is requested, as there is important business to be discussed. The parcels post business at the Bamberg postoffice is growing at a wonderful rate. A record of the packages received and forwarded is being kept from the first of October, and some time^ more than forty packages a day are received. Persons using the parcels post system are urged to wrap all packages and pack them securely. It often happens that the local postmaster is obliged to refuse packages which are sent in insecurely packed. Especial care should be taken when the package is to be insured. There was a large crowd of negroes in town last Saturday, but they kept pretty quiet until after dark. Then they seemed to let loose, and as a consequence several men and women were put in the guard house, and the town treasury was enriched somewhat by the fines paid. \favnr nrn tem L. P. McMillan has been trying most of the cases since the new city administration took charge, and since May the fines have aggregated something like $1,200 or more, which is a considerable increase over former administrations for the same length of time. An important meeting of the directors of the Bamberg, Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railway Company was held Monday afternoon of this week, and as a consequence of the action taken at the meeting the laying of rail on the line will commence in a short time. Certain matters have necessarily taken some months in adjustment, but now all these things Viovo hoon ripfinitplv arranged and the rail will be laid as soon as possible and the railroad put into operation. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, at which a represntative of Seagrave & Co., dealers in fire fighting apparatus, was present. He discussed fire insurance rates with council, and stated that he would look after the matter of getting the rates in Bamberg reduced. Mr. W. D. Rhoad, chief of the fire department, was given authority to purchase additional hose, if needed. Permission was given the Standard Oil Co. to erect a tank in the city limits. Monday's Sales.

Kearse | Last Saturday. Last Saturday night about seven I ; o'clock Joseph Kinsey was shot by ? G. V. Kearse. the killing occurring I on the street in Olar. Kinsey lived I only a few minutes after he was shot. {j Mr. D. \Y. Phillips, of this city, was . an eye-witness to the killing, as he k! was in Olar and standing up talking ' I j to Kinsey wnen tne trouoie uegan. j Kinsey and Kearse both were mer. | chants there, and Kearse at least ran. , a lunch room. A negro who worked 1! for him came near Kinsey and was I calling out "hot sandwiches" or ! something like that when Kinsey , | ' cursed him for hollering in front of 1 his place. The negro went back into Kearse's store and soon Kearse came i out and called Kinsey, and then started back in his store, whereupon Kinsey called to him that if he want ed to see him the street was the place. When they came near each other Kearse said that the negro was working for him and if Kinsey wanted to get on anybody to get on him. Kini sey replied that if the negro did it again he would get on him, or some| thing to that effect. Kearse then cursed Kinsey and Kinsey slapped him, when Kearse immediately fired twice in rapid succession. Mr. Phillips stated that he got to Kinsey at cnce and asked him if he was hurt badly and he replied yes, that he did not have but a few minutes and asked that he be carried home. Phillips said no, I must carry you to a doctor, and Kinsey asked him then to get his wife as quick as he could. He was carried to the drug store and Dr. Hartzog was called, but he lived only a few minutes. Thoco arp tha facts as related by Mr. Phillips. An inquest was held Sunday by the coroner, and a verdict that Joe Ki.isey came to his death by pistol shot wounds inflicted by G. V. Kearse was returned. Sheriff Ray went down for Kearse and he was brought here and lodged in jail, where he is at present. We are not advised whether application for bail will be made. Court convenes here the first Monday in November, as a special term has been asked for, at which Special Judge Chas. Carroll Simms, of Barnwell, will preside, the regular term beginning the following Monday. This is truly a most unfortunate tragedy. Both young men are members of prominent families. Joe Ivinsey is a son of the late Dr. C. E. Kinsey, who formerly lived in Bamberg. and his slayer is a son of the j late Dr. Henry Kearse. Kinsey was married and leaves a wife and three I small children, he having married I Miss O'Byrnes, a sister of Mrs. H. W. Beard, in this city, some years ago. Mr. Kearse is also a married man. The body was brought here Sunday afternoon and buried at South-end cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. W. H. Hodges. The shooting was done at close range, one bullet taking effect in the body below the left nipple and the . other in the right arm. The wea! pon used was an automatic pistol of small calibre. Sine the above was in type, just 11 before going to press to-day (Wednesday) Clerk of Court C. B. Free received a telegram directing that Mr. Kearse be released from custody on his giving bond in the sum of $2,000. This was at once given with G. Frank Bamberg and H. H. Kearse as sureties, and Mr. Kearse was released and returned to his home. The hearing was held before Judge Geo. W. Gage at Aiken this morning, Solicitor R. L. Gunter representing the State and H. M. Graham, Esq.. the defense. DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH. Preaching every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

MARRIED IX NASHVILLE. i Miss Sallie McLean Becomes Bride of | I Rev. L. E. Wiggins. I The following account of the wed- j ding of .Miss Sallie .McLean of Nash- j ville, to the Rev. L. E. Wiggins, pastor at Cope, S. C.. is taken from the L Nashville Tennessean, and will be' \ read with much interest by the many friends of the young couple. The marriage took place in Nashville Tuesday, the 23rd of September: "In the presence of a large num-j K/\?? a-* r onH rolof iv?iC tlto o I f.'cl ul 11 n?,iivio ciiivi i t v<7? vnv him ~ riage ceremony of Miss Sallie Ann McLean, who is the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. McLean, and the Rev. Lemuel Edgar Wiggins, wa3 celebrated last night at the Woodbine Methodist church. The groom's brother-in-law, the Rev. R. L.'Holroyd, of Kingstree. S. C., assisted by the pastor, the Rev. J. W. Faires, read the marriage ritees at 7.30 o'clock, the ring service being used. As the guests were assembling Mrs. Arch Beazley, vocalisa, and the organist, gave several beautiful musical selections. Miss McLean played the wedding music. The church was prettily decorated with a number of plants and flowers that blended artistically with the pink and white colors carried out in the details of the wedding. Preceding the bridal party the bride's Sunday school class, the "Relliables," entered, and occupied the seats reserved for them. Leading the bridal party were the ushers, Messrs. C. A. McLean, Jr., T. J. McLean, W. H. McLean, brothers of the bride, and W. H. McLean, of Gallatin, the bride's cousin. Following were the bridesmaids, Misses Elizabeth Morton and Alice North, who entered opposite aisles. They wore gowns of pink crepe de chine, and carried bouquets of maiden hair fern. The matrons of honor, the bride's sister, Mrs. C. A. McLean, Jr., and Mrs. T. J. McLean, entered simultaneously. Mrs. C. A. McLean wore a gown of white eilk, and Mrs. T. J. McLean wore her bridal costume of white charmeuse. Each carried bouquets of maiden hair ferns. The maid of honor, the bride's cousin, Miss Catherine McLean, of Gallatin, came in alone. She wore pink crepe de chine, and carried maiden hair fern. The bride entered with her father, Mr. C. A. McLean, who gave her in marriage. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, his ' nephew, Mr, R. Emory Holroyd, of Greenville, S. C. The bride was lovely in her toilette of white crepe de chine elaborately trimmed with lace. The collar of the gown was brought " her by the groom from the Island of Malta. "The Rev. and Mrs. Wiggins left last night for Asheville, N. C., and on 1 their way will stop at Chattanooga 1 and Knoxville, and will visit the t groom's aunt in Spartanburg, S. C., e before going to Cope, S. C., to make ^ their home. They were the recipi- c ents of many beautiful wedding gifts, 11 among them being a chest of silver 1 from the bride's parents; a piece of ? gold from the groom's mother, and t - - ^? ?- ?? ^ Kwi /I a'O 3 a silver tea service irum mc un^c o Sunday school class, and a crystal a water set from the brothers of the s bride. r "The groom at present is located 1 at Cope, S. C. He is a graduate of 1 Vanderbilt, 1912. and Wofford Col- c lege, Spartanburg, S. C. The bride c is a graduate of Ward Seminary. "Among the out-of town guests present were: Miss Nell Black, of 11 Bamberg, S. C.; Mrs. H. L. Henley, t of Columbia; Mrs. Hattie Early, of t Lexington, Ky. e Officers Have Narrow Escape. St. Matthews, Oct. 3.?J. C. Kcdmon, probate judge, and Albert E. v Hand, chief of police for St. Matthews t thought last night that somebody else I might be holding sway in their re- r * TITUJI IS V f spective sanctums toaay. vvinnjumnu- ?ing a very steep hill which is very r close to the Congaree river, and t which is very rough and full of deep * holes, Mr. Redmond's car bucked ? with him and evidenced a desire to r go back down the hill. The occu- f pants of the car preferred either to stop or go forward. It wouldn't go forward, and in order to have his way Mr. Redmon made a hasty jerk at his brake. Nothing seemed to catch and in a moment they were sailing down the steep and perilous hill surrounded by the blackest darkness at a most undesirable rate of 6peed. Mr. Hane did not stop, look nor listen for a landing, but leaped J straight into the darkness. He hit dry land with his lower limbs slight- j lv bruised from contact with parts of the flying car. Of its own motion the car swerved from the side of the road which was very near to a deep c gully and attacked a heavy embankment on the opposite side, and Mr. 1 Redmon was thus saved from an in- t voluntary backward plunge into the Congaree. i Bacon?That's a smart gown your wife's wearing tonight.
