Ray returned to Bamberg Wednesday night of last week from Columbus, Ohio, where he went a few days previous to bring back to this county L. Raymond Bolen, a young white man, who is charged with having committed an outrage upon a little negro girl near the town of Bamberg, who, it is said, is under ten years of age. Young Bolen was arrested in Co lumbus at the United States army training camp, where he had gone after enlistment in the army at Savannah several weeks ago. It is understood that the defense will be that of an alibi. Young Bolen is quite popular among a large circle in the city. He is the son of Rev. B. D. Bolen, a Baptist minister, who has served a number of churches around Bamberg for the last several years. < Hair-Cudd. The following invitation has been issued: "Dr. and Mrs. George F. Hair invite you to be present at the marriage of their daughter, Blanche, to Mr. John James Cudd, Wednesday evening, June fourteenth at seven o'clock, Baptist church, Bamberg, South Carolina." Executive Committee Meeting. The Democratic county executive committee will meet in Bamberg at the court house next Monday, to transact such business as may properly be brought before the meeting. This will be the first meeting of the new executive committee. There are various matters to be acted on by the committee, and every member is urged to be present. It is probable that the meeting Monday will decide upon the county campaign meetings, fix the assessments for the candidates, etc. A committee on enrollment will be appointed. It will be remembered that under the new rules of the Democratic party in this State, voters must enroll for every primary election. The fact that a voter enrolled twro years ago will not entitle him to participate in the E*rimary this year. Ape You Worn, Weak and W^ary? Are you worn, weak and weary, And in life you find no rest? Come and find the source of comfort, , Lay your head on Jesus's breast. He is gentle, meek and lowly, And His love doth full abound, Though you doubt Him, fear to trust Him, He is the greatest friend you've found. Go and see Him while He's waiting, Other souls their burden to share, At the gate of mercy standing, Jesus is ever ready to hear. Are you worn, weak and weary? r* /\ f rt Tnono.

On Friday night the exercises were given by the primary and intermediate grades and among the renditions were "Cabbage Hill School," "Down East Courtship," crown drill, etc., followed by a selection by a quartette and some delightful piano selections. The audience was the largest that has ever attended a commencement at Lodge. On Saturday night another large audience was present for the graduating exercises, when M. P. . Howell, Esq,., of Walterboro, delivered the address to the class. His theme was "Success, Happiness and Salvation and his remarks were a great literary treat. Other interesting features of the programme were the class prophecy by Laure Pender, class will by Pattie Miley, class history by Blanche Jones, and the valedictory by Vera Jordan. The message to the graduating class was delivered by the youthful, but brilliant and eloquent, principal, C. C. Garris. Diplomas were presented to four graduates. The commencement sermon Sunday morning was preached by Dr. W. W. Daniel, president of Columbia college, to an audience that more than filled the Methodist church, many listening through the windows and from automobiles. The subject of Dr. Daniel was appropriate and ably presented. On Sunday night the -Rev. J. C. Lawson, the retiring Baptist minister here, preached a fine sermon at the Methodist church by special invitation, a large congregation hearing him. The trustees of the school have reelected Prof. Garris and Mrs. Zeigler for another year, and two other teachers will be added to the corps. Prof. Garris has already served here two terms. Swallows Carbolic Acid. Spartanburg, May 24.?Miss Edith Riddle, 18 years old, of Clifton, died last night after swallowing a quantity of carbolic acid, supposedly with suicidal intent. It is understood that the young woman had been in ill health for some time and that while the other members of the family were at breakfast, she swrallowed the contents of an ounce bottle of the poison. Physicians were hurriedly summoned and rendered every possible aid, but death resulted after nearly twelve hours of suffering. Life is a constant struggle against death. i ' ' ' - ' *\ r-.V*: AMERICA IN GERMAN DEBATE. Deputies in Reichstag Score Berlin r for Suppression of Criticisms. Berlin, May 25.?The United States played a large role in the cen- 3 sorship debate in the Reichstag to- 1 day. Two of the principal speakers, j Deputy Oertel, Conservative, and t U4 w/vnlt XT 1 T iKot*0 1 nrt_ 1 Ljrzy u l* iiiiovn, i^aituuat uiuciai, oc- i verely criticised the government for < measures which they alleged were i adopted to suppress criticism of the 1 United States in the newspapers and 1 to put brakes on the agitation for a < more vigorous submarine campaign. Deputy Oertel, who is editor of the ] Deutsche Tages Zeitung, attacked the i authorities vigorously for their at- ] tempt to suppress the gigantic peti- i tion gotten up by Prof. Deitrich ! Schaefer, of Berlin University, against Germany's yielding to the i demands of the United States. Dep- j uty Oertel attacked the government for the censorship which had been ] exercised- over editorial comment on i the American note and for prohibit- < ing the republication of an anti- : American article written by the Conservative leader, Heydebrand. i Foreign Minister Von Jagow, in reply, declared emphatically that both the military and political au- < thorities had agreed that negotiatons with America must not be impeded by press comment. The min- < ister said that a temperamental ar- < tide such as that of Heydebrand would certainly have stirred up public feeling, and that he, therefore, i accepted full responsibility for its suppression. Denntv Hirsch resumed the floor after Foreign Minister Von Jagow had concluded. He reiterated the complaints made by Deputy Oertel, and alluding to the possibility of 1 American mediation, declared it would be impossible to accept the good offices of an "ostensible neutral who soiled its hands with blood by using its best efforts to prolong the war." Deputy Hirsch concluded by asserting that all parties, both of the Right and Left, are in accord in their criticism of the political censorship. He said that the spokesmen of the Socialist and Conservatist parties differ in no way in regard to the free discussion, although they naturally chose different examples to illustrate /their complaints. A Company of YVashingtons. i This story hasn't missed a reunion for thirty years: A group of Sherman's men were camped for a week near the cottage of a widow who owned a few acres of poor land and a good cow. She prospered amazingly during our stay by selling pies and cakes to Jhe soldiers and furnishing the headquarters with milk. The general issued most stringent orders against any foraging on her little property and was decidedly angry when the widow reported that she could furnish no milk because the soldiers had been milking the cow. He hurried to the company nearest the widow's home and called the captain. "I don't know anything about it," the captain assured him, "but if my men have been stealing milk it will be easy to find it out?my men don't lie." He summoned his bugler and ordered him to sound the assembly. The company fell in and stood at attention. The captain addressed them briefly, telling of the complaint and ordered any man who had been guilty of milking the widow's cow to step to the front. The company moved forward as one man, except the first sergeant. The general was astonished?and somewhat curious. "How is it, sergeant," he asked, "that when all the rest have been stealing milk you re frained?" "General/' replied the soldier, "I can't milk. I held the cow." The general turned to the captain and saluted: "Captain, this is the first company of George Washingtons I ever saw. Dismiss your company, sir."?New York Sun. National Viewpoint. Once upon a time, so the story goes, a Frenchman, visiting the tomb of Napoleon, wrote on a convenient W <411 lliW lilies. " 'Bony' was a great man, a soldier brave and true." An Englishman coming along a lit- ? tie later read this and added: "But Wellington did beat him at the battle of Waterloo." , The next visitor was an American who, seeing the foregoing contributions, rushed into the competition with all of the restraint that characterizes the members of our great na tion : "But braver still, and truer far and tougher far than shoe leather, ; Woe. WocViin<rfrm flip man who could V V CCO * T UOUiiiQ VV**J V? V/ have licked them both together," i He wrote and doubtless went away ] quite satisfied with his climax. f . i > ' MANNING AT WARE SHOALS. A. rhe Governor Addresses Large Crowd and Receives Ovation. Ware Shoals, May 24.?Governor Manning spoke here today to one of ;he largest crowds ever gathered together at a picnic in this section of :he State. It was estimated that ful- ^ y three thousand people were present, representing farmers, mill operatives, educators, professional and business men, from Laurens, Abbeville, Greenwood,. Anderson and Greenville counties. The occasion was the Jones school picnic. This picnic has been an annual event for several years, and the ^ people from this section of the State gather here at the closing of this school for a gala occasion. After the usual exercises incident to the closing of the school, the large * gathering was addressed by Col. J. H. Wharton. Col. Wharton was foiI -? i r\? T\ j lr ?... .A lowea oy ur. uavia m. luuusay, ui Greenville. The last address of the occasion was that of Governor Man* ning, the guest of honor of the day. When Governor Manning arose to speak he was given an ovation. The large gathering of citizens of the Piedmont section of the State listen- ^ ed intently to a speech that did not refer to politics in any way. The governor began his speech by expressing his appreciation of the cordial reception and complimented the crowd on the marked improvement in education in South Carolina, saying, "I hope that the time is not far distant when we will have a wellequipped school house on every hillside, and the facilities are provided * for the education of every white child^' ^ This statement was well received. The governor referred to the advantage of the night schools in provid- 1 ing education for those who, by reft- M son of their inability to attend school during working hours, might secure the educational advantages to which luc v a,i o culiiicm. "I am deeply interested in the education of the children of our rural and mill communities," said Gover- II nor Manning. "My heart is in this work, and I shall continue to fight for these children so long as I am given power and strength to do so," he continued. The governor was in fine form today, and his speech was full of snap and vigor. It is evident that when >' the campaign opens in June Governor Manning will be amply prepared to take care of himself. The crowd was certainly a Manning crowd. The governor was given, quite an ovation when he finished his speech, and for a good while was kept busy shaking hands with the people and hearing their words of endorsement of the stand that he . has taken and the fight that he is making. The crowd was a representative one, and was from all sections of the Piedmont. $i stated on all sides here today that Governor Manning is much stronger in the Piedmont than ever before. After a most sumptuous dinner the crowd, was treated to a splendid exhibition of baseball. The governor left on the afternoon train for Columbia, af ter expressing himself as delighted . with the reception accorded him by -Ji the citizens of the Piedmont. A Good Governor. ^ Manning has made South Carolina a good governor. There has been no bluster; no braggadocio; no effort to be sensational; no attempt to be continually in the limelight; no use of language that grates upon the sensibility of persons who abhor the bully and braggart; no abuse of political opponents. In fact we know of but one or two things Mr. Manning has done that should not meet with the approval of the people of the State. * In one case He aispiayea extreme partisanship of which we have little doubt he quickly repented (because it is not like him to be that way) and in one other case we would have preferred that he had not attempted to play the dictator. But even then he has been so much more conservative than what this State has been accustomed to we feel that we can forgive what few shortcomings he has displayed. If other governors / before him have merited a second term surely Mr. Manning has. To our way of thinking he has made as good governor as the State has had within our recollection.?Gaffney : Ledger.
