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

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.

KILLING AT OLAK.
[
. i Joseph Kinsey Slain hy G. V. 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..

Rev. L. E. Wiggins.

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:

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

a silver tea service irum mc un^c o

"The groom at present is located 1
at Cope, S. C. He is a graduate of 1
Vanderbilt, 1912. and Wofford Col- c

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.
