XEGRO HOTEL GETS ESTATE.
j Rut the White People are Raising j
Rucus Over It.
New York. .Tan. 3.?The town of
2 Hastings-on-Hudson received a tremendous
shock yesterday when
3 Sheldon Vanderburgh, descendentt of
a famous Knickerbcker family,
t! sold his father's estate on the Albany
Post road to a negro colonizer.
Young Vanderburgh threatened to
permit the old homestead to become
the resident of several negro families
a week ago, but his fashionable
neighbors didn't believe him. They
' said the circulars he sent broadcast
had been written in pique, and that
- never, never, never would be "desecrate
the neighborhood."
The circular set forth that the
rich neighbors had conspired to lorce
a foreclosure of an $8,000 mortgage
held by Charles D. Millard of
Tarrytown for some persons unknown.
and that these persons hoped
to bid in the property January 6, for
the amount of the mortgage.
.Neighbors Sent Bidders to Sale.
! This. Vanderburgh declared. he
would not permit if he had to find
? negroes willing to pay more. So he
: called a forced sale, and this was
attended yesterday by representatives
of the neighbors, who remain,
ed at home, hoping their agents
?night be able to bid in the property
for a reasonable sum.
Alexander Vanderburgh made a
large fortune in this city selling
wooden type and his son was sorely
disappointed when his father's will
left every cent of his fortune to
charity. This forced Vanderburgh to
make his own living and he took to
carpentry. He is an excellent carpenter
today, making fair wages.
; Young \ anderburgh managed to
hold the homestead until the mortgage
was foreclosed. Then he be
came angry and sent out the circular.
He said he was being persecuted.
Billie Burke is Incensed.
One of the show houses on the
Post road is owned by Miss Billie
Burke, the actress. Miss Burke
spoke her mind freely when she
heard her new neighbors might be
negroes.
"It is the most outrageous thing I
ever heard of," she said. 41 don't
understand how these things can be
accomplished in this country. It
could never occur in England."
i Mr. Fender's Accident.
We have learned further particulars
of the accident which happened
to Mr. J. H. Fender, of the Ehrhardt
section. He lost three fingers,
one of one hand and two on the oth- :
er. He was leaning on the gun, with
both hands on the muzzle, and a
child and dog were playing around
him. The gun was a hammerless
one, and the safety was not on.
Some one passed along the road and
he turned his head to speak to them,
when the gun fired, he does not know
how. But the turning away of his
head certa nly saved his life. As it
was a few shot lodged in his face and
neck, but the most serious wounds
are to his hands Thev were both
badly mangled, and he has suffered
intensely since the accident. Kis
many friends sincerely hope he v.*ili
' make a good recovery and that ne
will not be disabled as a result. *
Ep worth League.
The Trinity Epworth Lecgue held
I an interesting new year meeting
Tuesday evening at the church. Mr.
Guilds made a ' fine talk on a cii>
cumspect walk.
After a call by the pastor for workers
for local missionary service, six
young woman volunteered for the
work.
A mission study class was projected.
Eight young people promised
to become members. Prof. Merchant
F
will be leader.
; New Schedule.
Commencing with last Sunday
. morning there was a change in the
, schedule of one of the trains pass s
ing Bamberg, but all others remain
the same. The morning train arrives
at 9.37 as formerly, but the train go.
ing West in the morning now arrives
^ at 11:42, about ^thirty minutes laier
than formerly. The afternoon and
I night trains remain the same. 6: u7
and 8:17. Mails do not close at the
post office until about ten minutes
1 before the arrival of the trains, and
patrons are urged to mail their let'
ters at the post office and not on
~ the trains. It does not increase Lie
business of the office or the salary of
3 the postmaster, but it does help the
f mail clerks on the trains who have
- to work very hard. The mail for the
last t?ain at night closes at eiglit
o'clock, all others about ten minutes
e before the trains are due. We only
5 allow enough time for the mails to
? carried to the station.
.Mr. W. P. Jones is now in the West
2 buying three car loads of mules for
.Tones Bros. This will be the largest
shipment ever made to Bamberg at
t one time. They will have a fine lot

| MRS. HITE SEES ATTORNEY.
Hatesburg Woman Delighted at
Husband's Recovery.
Lexington, January G.?Mrs. Ella
Belle Hite, the pretty Batesburg
woman who is now confined in the
Lexington county jail charged with
being an accomplice to the shooting 1
of her husband, J. Milton Hite. 011
<
the night of December 6, last, was
several hours to-day in consultation
with her attorney, E. L. Asbill, of
Leesville, who has been retained b}' ]
her relatives to look after her de
fence. Mr. Asbill refused to discuss
the case further than to say that Mrs.
Hite was very much elated over the
fact that her husband is getting well ^
rapidly and that his permanent recovery
is hoped for. Walter E.
Gurganous, who is charged as being
principal in the crime, was yesterday
released on bail. It is probable
that Mrs. Hite's counsel will ask for
bail at an early date.
SELLS GOLD IX HE It TEETH
Her Husband Losing His Situation,
Woman Makes Sacrifice.
A Pontiac, Michigan, dentist ceils
this story: A woman, whose name
was not given out. in the days of the
prosperity attendant on "a steady
job" held by the head of the house,
came to him and had a god deal of v
work done on her teeth. A number %
or gold ninngs were maae ana me t
bill paid.
The husband lost his place. A lit- d
tie credit was obtained for the neces- p
sities of life, but horror of debt was I o
strong in the household. There were a
little mouths to be filled, though, and c
the harassed mother cast about for e
some help, too proud to ask for charity.
It was then that she reappeared
in the dentist's office and asked him 1
to extract the gold from her teetn f3
and buy it, that she might be able 11
to buy food and fuel for the weeks 5
before the better times promised ^
"the first of the year." a
The case has been brought before
some persons who will do what they
can for the family.
