Ehrhardt Etchings.
f ~
Ehrhardt, December 8.?Sunday
Ik morning brought us a refreshQp
ing shower, was very welcome,
^ the dust was terrible to endure especially
ywhen there was plenty waggons
moving on our streets. The
young folks stayed in doors nearly
all the morning on account of the
rain. They amused themselves show^
ing their Xmas presents, and having
v pleasant jokes on each other, and
* the like, then too they wondered
what they would get in return. So
take it all round the morning passed
? off soon and pleasant. The older
heads listened and thought of times
long since gone, when Santa Claus
visited them. How they did and
how they would do now if they had
to live it over, with the experience
to guide them along life's way. However,
times and ways have changed
so much until everything would not
work so well. Perhaps our happiness
would be somewhat impaired by a
life's knowledge ahead, - expect its
better to take everything as we find
it and work the best out of it, to
suit the times and occasion. *
The two brick stores in town are
making a show and one or two merchants
are planning how and where
to place their goods in them to make
the best display.
Di*. and Mrs. J. H. Hucks went to
j Fairfax, S. C., to see her parents,
- Rev. and Mrs. D. B. Groseclose, on
x Saturday evening. Will return on
Monday noon on train.
The Hacker Manufacturing Co.
is cutting timber to haul in and
start up their plant again.
The Bamberg and Ehrhardt Rail1
road is laying rails down on the road
bed. Have down as far as Yankville.
Next and the heaviest work
will be Little Salkehatchie swamp.
This will have to be trestled and will
take some time to complete it, as
there will be several piling to drive
, and perhaps more earth to haul in to
make the embankment complete.
The ladies are quite attentive to
the mail each day, some are delighted,
others are disappointed because
the special goods ordered did not
come.
Mr. B. W. Shaw has taken Mr. J.
L. Connelly as partner with him in
business, or sold out to him. Could
not find out which at this writing.

just now is plain rest in order to be

declined to accept an invitation to
take his holiday vacation at Augusta,

here for the week, yesterday aftern"
noon about 4 o'clock, when he fell
from the top of the motordrome to

as was taken to a sanitarium, and all
ay that could be done for him. in the
m- way of medical attention was in vain,
si- death coming this morning at 5 ^
er o'clock.
e
He was riding at the top of the
motordrome and as he had about
finished his exhibition he made a ^
turn to come down, but in some way
*e-1 he must have made the turn too ^
he j ouicklv. for he landed on his head

vo "Daredevil Barnady," held the ^
?p- world's record for fastest riding, hav- t
ing attained a speed of 96% milies

ember 19, and Monday, December 1
2, inclusive. Such was the sentence i
f Judge Gage late this afternoon, i
fter the jury had brought in a ver- 1
ict of guilty of murder as to Madi- ]
on, and guilty of assault and battery 1
s to Gilbert Miller, also colored. Ed
)urant, a negro, testified this after- i
loon, that Mr. Best pushed Miller, ;
?'ho was standing in the door of the
estaurant, out of his way, when he
eft the building, and that Miller i
hen threw a bottle at him and ran. <
according to the testimony, Mr. Best :
urned and asked Scott Madison who
it him, the defendant replying that
tie man that hit him was the one runing
down the street. Mr. Best then
urned to walk away and the fatal
hot was fired. !
The testimony of Rufus James, i
Iitchell Stroy and Julius Williams,
he proprietor of the restaurant and
ool room in question, all corroboratd
in the main the statements made
iy Durant.
Major R. Boyd Cole testified to
mding al>istol under the depot, upon
nformation given by Andrew Simms,
he same being, it was alleged, the <
ne with which the murder was comQitted.
Other Witnesses. ,
Dr. R. C. Kifkland testified as to
he nature of the gunshot wound on
he body of Mr. Best?that the bulet
entered from the back and passed
ntirely through the body.
Mr. Alvo Mellett, the undertaker,
estified that there was a small bruise
iehind the left ear of the dead man, ,
'hich could have been caused by a ;
ilow from a bottle.
Mr. Vince Dunbar, who was standng
in the doorway of Kearse's pool
oom at the time of the tragedy, testited
to having seen the smoke from
he pistol immediately after the firing
f the two shots; that Mr. Best stagered
towards him and Mr. A. M.
larden, exclaiming as he fell, "Boys,
'm shot." That deceased died im- 1
iiediately thereafter.
Mr. A. M. Harden, who was stand- (
Qg by Mr. Dunbar at the time of the
hooting, testified to having seen the 1
!ash of the pistol in front of the !
legro restaurant and that he caught
Ir. Best in his arms as deceased was
ailing.
Andrew Simms, a negro section ;
and, testified that Scott Madison had
ttempted to buy his pistol?a 38- 1
alibre, left-hand wheeler?from
im on the afternoon of the shooting;
hat he refused to let defendant^hve
t and that it was later stolen?lm (
is trunk, presumably by Madison; ;
hat after the killing juaaison returnd
the pistol and said that he had
illed a white man; that witness beame
frightened and hid the pistol 1
nder the A. C. L. freight depot.
Albert Cave, colored, testified that ;
negro threw a bottle at Mr. Best,
r'ho turned and asked who hit him.
iO one replied, and deceased then
urned and started up the street,
riien a negro snapped a pistol at him
hree times. Another negro, he said,
hen fired the shots, one of which hit j
Ir. Best in the back. Witness could ,
ot identify the assailants, who were j
trangers.
Madison's Story Weak One.
Scott Madison is from Remini. He
'as put upon the stand in l^is own
efence, and told a story entirely at (
ariance with the testimony of the
itnesses for the State. So unsupport- ^
ble was his testimony that he got J
adly mixed in the telling and no ,
eight was given to it whatever. He 1
enied doing the killing, but said that t
; was done with the gun that he had }
otten from Andrew Simms. He ac- t
lsed one Seamon Moore of the crime. 1
Gilbert Miller testified in his own ?
*half, and apparently told a straight- <
>rward story, impressing his hear- 1
rs with the truth of his statements, c
[e admitted buying a bottle of whis- t
ey in the restaurant; stated that ]
fr. Best had pushed him out of the 1
ay, and that he had hit the dead 2
lan with a bottle, after which he ran 1
way, and that he was quite a good t
istance off when the shots were fired, t
e later met Madison, who, he said, t
Emitted having shot a white man. j
Two negro women and Seaman e
[oore were put on the witness stand, c
ut they denied knowing anything r
mnected with the tragedy. s
This completed the case. The jury 1

Rails Being Laid Now?Probability
That Coast Line Will Operate.
The new railroad from Bamberg
:o Ehrhardt, connecting with the
Atlantic Coast Line at Ehrhardt, will
De a certainty within a few weeks,
[or already rail is being laid, and 011
reliable authority, we are informed
:hat the new line will be ready for
business by January the first, A
rumor which seems to have much
foundation in fact is that the Atlantic
Coast Line will control the newroad.
and that a lease with the od
tion of buying will be entered into
between the officers of the new
line and the Atlantic Coast Line. If
this be true, in all probability there
will be through passenger and
freight service between Green Pond
and Bamberg.
The new road will give to the
people of Walterboro and other
stations along the line a new system
of transportation, and will much
improve the passenger service to the
interior of the State. At Bamberg
passengers will make connections
with Southern trains for Branchville,
Denmark and Augusta, and several
different trips to the center of the
State will be available. To go to
Columbia, passengers from Ehrhardt
and Walterboro must now pass
through Charleston, and in the morning
there is no connection at Charleston
for" the interior. By using
the new railroad, passengers for Columbia
can make connection at
Branchville or Denmark, thus mater*
ially reducing the mileage and length
of the trip. . ^|jj
The completion of the new railroad
will probably open a new era
of prosperity for Colleton county 4
with good connections and shorter
mileage, freight and passenger
rates will surely be reduced. In addition
to that, the new road opens
much new territory, and Colleton's 1
business men will derive much
trade from sections which now trade
elsewhere.?Walterboro Press and

UNUSUAL CASE. ^ . A
' ; 1
Saluda Girl Gets $1,000 Damages
for Mistreatment.
On the ground that an agent of the
Southern Railway company had encouraged
others to attempt to hug
and kiss Miss Emma Rodgers, a 16year-old
Saluda girl, a jury in the
court of common pleas at Saluda returned
a verdict of $1,000 in favor
of the young woman. A motion for
a new trial was overruled.
It appeai-s that Miss Rodgers, ?
while in the passenger station at
Ward in August last, was mistreated,
and the allegation of the complaint
was that the agent of defendant failed
and neglected to give the protection
to the young girl that the lawrequires
and that, acting in concert
with others, he aided and abetted and
encouraged others to attempt to hug
and kiss the plaintiff. Miss Rodgers
is only about 16 years of age and
was on her way to Graniteville to
visit relatives when the alleged misconduct
and maltreatment occurred.
A verdict for $1,006 was returned
against the railroad.
