HAM BRABHAM KILLED.
Shot With Shotgun Sunday Morning
by R. (). Williamson.
^
A distressing homicide occurred
Sunday morning at Ehrhardt, when
W. Ham Brabham, a prominent white
man, was shot and killed by R. O.
Williamson, also prominently connected.
The unfortunate affair occurred
on a street in Ehrhardt, almost
.in front of the home of the deceasda,
as the latter was leaving his
house, it is said, to go'to the home
of a relative to eat dinner in honor
of another relative recently returned
from overseas service in France.
The two men were next door neighbors.
It is said that some hard feel
ings had been caused a few days
previous to the tragic incident when
the children of the two men became
involved in some trouble, and that
this led to the killing Sunday morning.
Very little is known of the details
of the affair at the time of the
killing. There were no witnesses at
the inquest who saw the killing, although
it is rumored that there was
at least one witness to the homicide.
Mr. Brabham was a member of
one of the most prominent families
in this section of the State. He had
previously lived at Allendale, and
came to Ehrhardt a few years ago.
He was'about 50 years of age. Mr.
Williamson came to Ehrhardt some
three or four years ago from Rock
Hill, and he enngaged in business in
the community.
Mr. Brabham was shot -twice* with
a shotgun loaded with small shot.
Immediately after the killing, Mr.
Williamson came to Bamberg and
surr^nderd to the sheriff and he is
now in the county jail. The inquest
was held Sunday afternoon by Coroner
Seifrier Onlv two witnesses were
examined at the inquest, their testimony
being as follows:
J. P. Griffin, duly sworn, testified:
When I heard the 9hots, I was at the
depot. About the time the second
shot was fired, I was leaving the depot;
was running. Got around the
corner of the box.cars; saw a man
lying on the ground. I ran up to this
man and found it to be Mr. Brabham.
Mr. Williamson came running out of
the house. I asked who killed him.
He answered, "I did." Asked me
could I take him to Bamberg. I answered
him, "Yes." We started over
railroad crosing. Mr. Fox came up
in his car and I asked Fox if he
could take him to Bamberg. He
said, "Yes." I then looked around
for Mr. Williamson, but did not see
him. Started back to where Mr.
Brabham was lying and saw Mr. Williamson
in car .with Mr. Moore.
Some one said Mr. Moore was going
to take him to Bamberg.
Question: Mr. Copeland asked if
Mr. Brabham was dead when .Mr^
Griffin got to him.
. Answer: "I suppose he was. There
was no weapon on the dead man at
all that I could see."
C. C. Moore, duly sworn, testified:
I don't know anything about the
shooting. When I came out of-my
house I met Williamson at the front
and he said that he had shot Mr.
Ham Brabham and wanted to give up
and wanted to go to Bamberg, and I
asked if I minded taking him, and I j
told him that I would carry him.
Dr. Robert Black, who held the
autopsy upon the body of Mr. Brabham,
described the wounds as follows:
Gunshot wounds caused by
small shot on left side of neck and
I
upper part of chest. Gunshot wounds
caused by small shot on right side of
face and in right ear. These wounds
caused death.

OFFER TO BUY COTTON MILL.
New York Concern Desires to Acquire
Local Manufactory.
Mr. John H. Cope, president of the
Bamberg Cottonl Mills company, has
received an offer from the Seaboard
Mills, Incorporated, of New York
city, to purchase the stock of the local
cotton mill. The directors of the
company have called a meeting of
the stockholders of the cotton mill
for today at 11 o'clock to discuss
the matter and decide on the course
to be pursued.
While the Seaboard Mills, Incorporated,
have not made public any of
its plans, it is rumored that if the
stockholders decide to accept its
proposition, the local mill will be enlarged
and improved. The Seaboard
Mills, Incorporated, is one of the
largest concerns in the country, and
has an immense financial backing.
The Bamberg Cotton Mills company
is a local -enterprise, and the
greater bulk of the capital stock of
the concern is held by local investors.
The mill is entirely under local
management, all of the officers of the
company being residents of Bamberg.
Until about a year ago Mr. I. >J.
Dunn was superintendent of the mill.
Since his resignation, the su'perintendency
of the mill has been in the
hands of his brother, Mr. W. L.
Dunn, a most capable mill manager.
The proposition made by the Seaboard
Mills, Incorporated, has not
been made public, but has been submitted
to the stockholders, who will
pass on the matter today. Several of
the directors consider that the offer
is satisfactory.
THE VICTORY LOAN DRIVE.
' Preparations Made for Last Campaign
in Bamberg County.
The last, and perhaps the most important,
campaign for the sale of liberty
bonds will be conducted in the
next few days in Bamberg county.
For some reason the matter of getting
up a county organization here to
carry forward the victory liberty loan
has been delayed. No county chairman
had been appointed up to last
week, when Captain Timmons, U. S.
A., now working in the interest of
the victoiV loan, came to Bamberg.
Col. J. C. Guilds, who made a most
successful ehairman for the war savings
campaign last year, has been
appointed to carry the victory loan
to success in this county, and he has
entered upon his duties.
Captain Timmons met with the
county chairman and a committee of
local gentlemen at the Bamberg
Banking company Friday afternoon,
at/which the loan campaign was discussed.
Colonel Guilds hopes to get
his organization perfected in the next
day or two, and the drive will commence.
DAY CURRENT IN SIGHT.*
New Generator Has Arrived for Installation
at Cotton Mill.
The commissioners of public works
announce the arrival of the generator
which was recently purchased to be
installed at the Bamberg . Cotton
Mills company to provide day current
for Bamberg. The generator wilTbe
installed within the next few days,
and day current will soon be a real
fact in this city. It is understood
(that arrangements have been made
whereby the city power plant will be
; operated on such days as the cotton
mill will not be in operation, thus
providing continuous day current
throughout the year. This will be a
great improvement for the city, and
one which will doubtless be appreciated
by the people of the town.
So far as the consumers of electric
power are concerned, there will be
no change in the method of receiving
power. The power house will be operated
in the morning until the cotton
mill starts, and will again resume
operation in tlie afternoon when the
mill closes for the day.
NEW COXCERX FOR EHRHARDT.
Ehrhardt Manufacturing Company
Capitalized at $10,000.
Notice of the opening of the books
of subscription to the capital stock
of the Ehrhardt Manufacturing company
is published in this issue of
The Herald. The corporators of the
new concern are: G. B. Kinard, S. W.
Copeland, J. M. Kirkland, C. R.
Mears, and A. J. Lcary.
The capital stock of the new concern
will be ? 10,000. The llrst lines
that will hp nnt intr> nnprntinn will
be a large ginnery and an ice plant.
It is understood that machinery for
this purpose will be installed immediately
and will be in operation in
the very near future. Several other
lines, it is understood, are being considered,
and will installed at some
future period.
It is stated that a large warehouse
will be used by the new concern at
Ehrhardt, and that the company will
be developed into a large manufacturing
concern.
I
GOV. COOPER A VISITOR.
Came Down to Enjoy Some Fish and
Fishing Saturday.
It is a well known fact that once
the joys of an Edisto river fish fry
are tasted, a visitor will find a convenient
season to try it again. Last
summer, while the campaign was in
progress, Candidate Robert A. Cooper,
during his short stay in Bamberg,
attended a fish fry on the Edisto, and
at the time promised to come again.
And so, while his visit was unheralded.
there was really no surprise elicit
\
ed when he was seen in town Saturday.
..i company with Mr. S. T.
Carter, State treasurer, and Mr. Carter's
sons, Messrs. Sam, Ulysses and
John Carter, the governor came down
Saturday in Mr. Carter's car for a
day's fishing on the river as the
guest of Mr. Decania Dowling. A
fish dinner was enjoyed at the river,
and in the afternoon the party returned
to town and were entertained
at Mr. Dowling's home, returning to
Columbia Saturday night. All of the
gentlemen were loud in their praise
of Edisto river fish?and the Edisto
river style of serving fish, and the
governor promised to be here again
about July. While they did not say
so, it is entirely likely that the governor
and the State treasurer will
become regular visitors to Bamberg
nereaner, ior me appeuie 01 me visitor,
once* appeased on the Edisto,
calls loudly for a return of the pleasure.

THIRTIETH DIVISION SPECIAL.
Trophy Train Will Visit Denmark
Next Wednesday.
The thirtieth division special, carrying
military equipment and machinery
covering every phase of war
science and activity, will visit Denmark
on Wednesday, April 30, and
will be there from 8 toilO a. m. The
tank corps is the only branch of the
army that will not be represented,
there being a separate itinerary for
the tanks.. The people of the county
will doubtless avail themselves of the
opportunity of viewing the implements
of war that were used by this
famous fighting division which went
through the Hindenburg line. Denmark
will be the only- point in tjiis
section touched by the thirtieth division
special.
The visit of the tr^in will be the
occasion for a victory liberty loan
rally at Denmark, to which the peo
pie of the county are invitee*. There
will he speaking by overseas soldiers
and others, many of whom have seen
service in France.

A Card From Mr. Smoak.
Editor The Herald:?In regard to
the announcement of my candidacy
for mayor of the city of Bamberg, I
desire to say to the voters of the
town that I am in no sense of the! '
I
v crd a candidate for the office. Nu- ^
merous friends ka\-e asked me to ac- '
cept the office, bat I have always felt
that it would be :oi the bed; interests
of Bamberg if some one else were 1
elected. Some of my friends have announced
my name in the papers, and
while I do not wish to shirk any dut},
I think that it would be a mistake to
-elect me. I do not like to be placed
in the position of refusing to perform
my duty as a citizen of the town, but
my personal business demands so {
much of my time that it would be
very difficult for me to give the prop- i
er attention to the duties of mayor. 1

TANK COMING TO BAMBERG.
Whippet Scheduled to Be Here, on
9th and 10th of May.
Perhaps the most thrilling thing
that th(. people of Bamberg will have
witnessed since the war started will
be a tank which will visit Bamberg
on May 9. The official schedule of
the three tanks which will visit South
Carolina includes a visit to Bamberg.
The tank is loaded on a flat freight
car. It will come' to Bamberg from
Barnwell on May 9, and it is likely
that it will remain here until the
1 Oth. This will give the people of
Bamberg and the entire county an
opportunity to see one of these awful
weapons of war, which contributed
so largely to the success of the allied
drive which went through the Hindenburg
line and paved the way for
the infantry to do the rest.
The tank will be accompanied to
Bamberg by young men of the tank
crews?men who have seen service
at the front, who are familiar with
the devastation that was wrought by
these engines of war. These young
men will demonstrate how a tank is
operated. A French 1-pounder is
mounted on each one of the tanks
that will visit South Carolina.
As the tank will not visit afiy other
point in Bamberg county, the people
all over the county should take advantage
of this opportunity to see* it.
The exact time of arrival has not yet
been ascertained, and as soon as this
information is secured, the visit of
the tank will be widely advertised over
the county.
MOTOR PASSENGER CAR.
/
B., E. & W. Railroad Will Transport
Passengers by Motor.
The B., E. and W. Railway comDanv
has Durchased a easoline motor
passenger car for use on the^ line
from Bamberg to Ehrhardt. The new
car will be put into use in the next
few days, and will be used exclusively
for passengers. This is a new departure
for a railroad in this section,
but the system has been successfully
tried on other short lines.
The car has a seating capacity for
about 20 passengers, and in appearance
resembles a trolley car. It is
operated by a 4-cylinder gasolne engine,
and can make fast time. The
car is open, with a running board on
either side, but is provided with
storm curtains for bad weather. A
cowcatcher is attached to either end
of the car. *
The schedule for the gasoline car
has not yet been announced, but a
convenient schedule will be provided.
This car will afford the people of
Bamberg and Ehrhardt and intervening
points greatly improved facilities
for visiting either place.
The B., E. & W. has also recently
purchased a new engine. It is now
in operation.

\
Another Bamberg Boy, Cliff Patrick,
Makes Good in Business.
% 1
The Herald always takes especial
pleasure 111 uamug auenuuii to r>aaiberg
county boys who make good in
the business world. In the past we
had occasion to report the success of
many home boys who have gone out
into the world to make places for
themselves. We have just learned
that Mr. W. C. Patrick, to his friends
always "Cliff," has been placed in a
most responsible position. He has
been made Southern representative
of the Troy Trailer company, a large '
automobile trailer manufacturing
concern of the North, at .a very at- ;
tractive salary. Mr. Patrick expects
to assume the duties of his new posi- :
tion on May 1, at which time he will .
leave the employ of the Dowling .Motor
company, of Charlotte. i
Mr. Patrick became connected with .
the Dowling Motor company several .
years ago, when Messrs. H. S. and
Decania Dowling began this business ]
in Charlotte, and has been with the 1
Dowling brothers since that time. He .
is a capable business man, and that
he will make good in his new line '
none of his friends doubt. His many 1
Bamberg acquaintances congratulate ]
him on his good fortune and he has their
best wishes for his success.

BOYS WELCOMED HOME.
Several Hundred Oreet Returned Soldiers
Last Friday Night.
Several hundred people gathered j
on the courthouse lawn last Friday
evening for the purpose of extending
a welcome to the boys who have returned
home from service in the
army and navy. .About thirty-five re- ,
\ J
turned soldiers and sailors were invited
to be present, many of them
being men who have recently returned
from overseas duty.
The reception was informal, and
there was only a very short exercise,
the remainder of the evening being
spent in "just having a good time," 1 ?
as it was expressed. A great profusion
of cake was served, and ice
cream and sherbet were passed
around. About fifteen or twenty
young ladies served the refreshments
during the evening.
A choir of young ladies contributed
largely toward the success of
the evening by singing patriotic
songs from the porch of the Mayflower
Inn. f
4r
The speaking programme was presided
over by the Rev. Geo. P.
White, chairman of the Red Cross
chapter. Prayer was offered by the
Rev. R. H. Jones, who in a very
x
feeling manner thanked God for the
safe return of those present.
_
J. F. Carter, Esq., spoke the welcome
of the evening on behalf of the
people of Eamberg, and he made one
of the best addresses heard in Bamberg
in some time. Col. J. C. Guilds
called attention to the victory loan
campaign, in which the people are :
called on to finish the job. i
The response to the welcome talk ?:;
was made by E. H. Henderson, Esq.,
who on behalf of the boys thanked
the people for the warm welcome extended
them; assured the audience
that the boys went willingly into the
service; were sorry if they did" not
get an opportunity to go to France, '
and were exceedingly glad that they
contributed to the winning of the
war. Mr. Henderson stated that the
Bamberg men were proud of their
county during tneir stay in tiie service,
and that the fine record the
county has to its credit made it a \
distinction to be called a Bamberg
man. /
f \ f t ^
The occasion was a very pleasant? f :
one, and was thorughly enjoyed by'
all those present. The entertainment vj
was given under the auspices of the _
Bamberg chapter of the Red" Cross.

CORP. FRANK AYER HERE.
Bamberg Boy, Reported Dead, Arrives
from Overseas Duty.
Corporal Franklin K. Ayer, after -m
completing his service in the army of
the expeditionary forces, arrived \
home last week in excellent health. ' vThe
relatives and friends of Mr. / -J
Ayer had been very uneasy about-him
for several weeks, due to his name /
being printed in the casualty list as
having died of wounds received. This
report proved to be erroneous, and
probably occurred in the newspaper
office, as official information did not
bear out the report. r ;|
A letter was received from him by (. . g
his brother, Mr. F. C. Ayer, a taw
days prior to his arrival, staging that
ije was well; this being the first * '
news from him in several month3.
Mr. Ayer received some injury from
gas during his overseas service, but
he has fully recovered from its effects.
His many friends all over the
county are delighted to welcome him - '
home.
