On account of an extra run of advertising we are forced to omit several articles from this week's issue. Col. Jno. F. Folk is having new , floors put into two of his stores on i Main street, those occupied by the drug stores. The total sales of all dispensaries in the State for April amounted to $281,716.63, The Bamberg sales ( amounted to $7,627.72. Only one fire was reported to the State Insurance department from Bamberg "ounty during the month of ; April, with a small loss. F. F. Carroll, Esq., has announced that he will be a candidate for the legislature in the primary this sum- ( mer. His card will appear later. x The Woman's Home Mission So- j ciety will meet next Tuesday after- , noon at 4.30 o'clock in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist church. A full attendance is requested. In the United States circuit court ^ of appeals at Richmond last week the case of Christian J. Copeland, appellant, against M. Hornik, appellee, j was reversed. The decision was by Justice Woods. j The Binnaker school will close on \ Saturday, May 30th, with the annual ( picnic. An attractive program has ( 1 ? 1 orknAoV> oc i DCtJIl ill I 'dugcu. ocvu ai will be made. The public is cordially invited to attend. Last Friday the Carlisle ball team defeated the- McFeat-Bowen Business college team, of Columbia, 11 to 5. Monday Carlisle won from the Columbia High school, 5 to 6, the / games being played in Columbia. The district conference of the A. M. E. church will be held in this city nert week. The sessions will be held in the colored Baptist church, as the A. M. E. church has no builds ing here since their church was burned some time ago. News of the tragic death of Mr. \ John M. Cannon, of Laurens, was received in the city Tuesday by friends of Mrs. Cannon, who is pleasantly remembered here as Miss Jessie Huey. t"." * in +VtA rryn ^?1/^ aphnnl Vl OTA OIIC laugui 1U tuc giuuvu hvuvv V several years ago, and has many < friends here. ) Mr. B. F. Free has been appointed as rural carrier on Route No. 4 and ^ Mr. Wm. L. Bessinger on Route No. 1 3, as the result of an examination , held some weeks ago. Both of these ^ stood good examinations and that ( they will make efficient carriers is ] assured. Mr. Free has been acting , j as temporary carrier on his route, ^ and Mr. Bessinger's appointment is effective May 16th. Some people have a habit of plow- } ing into the public roads, which should be stopped. On the rural < routes this interferes very much with ( the carriers, and unless the practice i is stopped the postmaster will have ? to report the matter to the depart- ( ment. It does seem that the public < would co-operate in this matter, as j the delivery of mail at rural homes every day is a great convenience. * Mr. A. M. Wright, The Herald's linotype operator, received a telegram yesterday morning notifying ? hi r?f thp? serious illness of his I father, who was said to be in a dying , condition. Jle left on the next train for Johnston, and his departure t makes this issue unavoidably late as well as forcing us to leave out 1 some articles. Mr. Wright's father is the Rev. Geo. A. Wright, a promim nent Baptist minister, and he has ^ been paralyzed for nearly two years, , suffering another stroke last Sunday. His recovery is entirely improbable, as this is the third stroke. ji ' Graded 'School Teachers. ' The board of trustees of the Bamberg graded school, at a recent meeting, re-elected Mr. E. P. Allen as superintendent for another year. Misses May Zeigler, Sarah Lesley, and Alma Black were re-elected as teachers. Misses Gertrude Davis, Ruth Dibble, and Louise Martin declined re-election. Miss Irene Bryant was re-elected but has sent in her resignation. Misses Hattie Newsora and Berta Newton and Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh have also been re-elected, but as yet have not accepted. Masonic Meeting. A most enjoyable meeting of Ornan lodge, A. F. M., was held Tuesday evening in the lodge room, at which three candidates were raised to the subline degree of a Master Mason. Side degrees were conferred on several, and the occasion proved one of much merriment. During the evening a fine fish supper was served, under the direction of Mr. C. C. Rowell, who is some artist when it comes to preparing fish stew and fry. > U. D. C. Meeting. Mrs. Henry J. Brabham made a very gracious hostpss to the Francis Marion Bamberg Chapter at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock in honor of two of the Chapter's out of town members, Mrs. H.

Ben Sheppard Killed Mack Robinson at Church Near Olar. Ben Sheppard shot and killed Mack Robinson at a negro church near Olar Sunday. Coroner Zeigler held the inquest. Sheppard was later arrested and is now in jail. Only one witness, Wilbur Orr, was examined, and his testimony follows: "I and Mack Robinson were sitting in the buggy together. Jim Sheppard's boy and Jane Trotti's boys were fussing. Jim Sheppard was off and he heard them and walked up and made his boys go in the church. Ben Sheppard came where T?nhincnn anrt I were sitting. He said Jim Sheppard was a coward and he would kill any man about his children. 'Robinson said 'Be quiet, Ben, don't go on that way. Ben pulled his pistol and but it back in his pocket; asked Robinson if he did not like it. Robinson said he was not mad at all with him. Robinson got out of the buggy. Two ot three other fellows?John Jackson and Boss Robinson?two of them, came up to the buggy. They told kobinson to get back in the buggy and have no fuss here. He got back in the buggy. Ben went off from the buggy, cursing Robinson; told him that he had 'done enough to me for me to kill you in cold blood,and if I had pulled my pistol like you, I would have shot you.' Jim Sheppard told Robinson not to notice Ben, he must be foolish or gone crazy. Robinson got out of the buggy again, and said he wanted to talk with Ben, and for him to give him satisfaction. Ben was then about ten or fifteen steps from the buggy. Robinson went to him and a crowd gathered about them. I don't know what was said. I saw them talking. Ben had his pistol in his hand. Robinson had his right hand in his pocket; Ben had his pistol up. They both stepped back; I 6aw the smoke of Ben's pistol. Ben came trotting around the buggy and said that 'if I did not get you I will get you.' Both of them were shooting. I saw Robinson after he was shot and heard him 1- - A 9 T J 1 L say tie nas got me. 1 aou i Know how many shots were fired, but a good many. Mack did not have a pistol in his hand when he got out of the buggy and went to Ben. I 3aw Mack's pistol after Ben had shot. Ben shot first; after that I don't know who shot. Ben did not appear to be drinking. ' WILBUR ORR." Dr. J. J. Cleckley conducted'the autopsy, testifying that a 38 calibre pistol ball had entered the left side of the chest and had penetrated one of the lungs. Mrs. Klauber Entertains. Mrs. W. A.

Mayfield'* criticism of the affairs of the Bamberg County dispensary on May 4th we wish to submit the following facts which we wish you to publish: 1st. The affairs of the dispensarj are, to our minds, being conducted ir a proper and honest way. and as t( the office, we submit a copy of i letter from the State dispensan auditor which speaks for itself anc which we ask you to publish. 2nd. Regards the prices we arc paying for whiskies, we respectfullj vaii tn tlin niiraliqcoc n f mil 1 CIC1 J V U v\j v jy ui vn u>jvo s/4 v/ u i board and the purchases of Rich land and all other counties of the State that handle whiskey, and bj comparing you will find that we an paying exactly the same for Saratogs whiskey as all other counties of the State. We say Saratoga for the rea son that this was the whiskey re ferred to as being bought by us ai $2.00 per case more than an individual could buy for. Now as t( this we will say, on January 5th we awarded to Rosskam Gerstley Co. 2c cases Saratoga whiskey and having none in stock clerk was instructed to order same, which he did on the 6th;: 5 cases to each of 4 dispensar ies, Bamberg, Denmark, Olar, anc Ehrhardt. About this time we were informed by Mr. B. B. Leitzsey, State or county constable, that the governor had instructed him to see thai the Business Men's Club purchased their supplies from the county dispensary, and about January 20th after the shipment of Saratoga had come in, Mr. Blume, manager of the club at that time, came to our office and asked for some Saratoga whiskej which we had and offered him. Wher the clerk told him what the price was he, Mr. Blume, said that he could purchase the same brand oi goods for $2.00 per case less. The clerk asked Mr. Blume if he would show him a bill showing a price or Saratoga whiskey at a less price thai ? ? ? ^ -- ?* ? ? t ViA ^1/1 OA we were uu^mg it iui ami UiU The clerk then did not order an other case of Saratoga* whiskey aftei the order on January 6th, and latei called to the attention of the boarc the above facts. You will see there fore that from January 6th to Apri 6th, 1914, we only ordered 20 cases On April 6th we awarded 25 cases subject to increase or decrease a'nc ordered on April 18th, 1914, fifteer cases, five cases to<each of three dis pensaries. We did this in order thai we could get some for analysis tc compare with some of the goods bought at $2.00 per case less, whicl we had gotten for this purpose. In the morning May 5th, 1914, ai our regular meeting about 9 o'clock among other things, the clerk callec to our attention the matter referrei to above, of $2.00 per case beiuj paid more for Saratoga whiskey thai others could buy for, and we insimci him to write Rosskam Gerstley Co. j letter, which we submit a copy foi publication, and their answer, also i letter to a chemist in Columbia anc his reply.
