The first frost of the season was
seen in Bamberg Friday morning. On
Saturday morning the fields and
housetops were white with the first
sign of winter. Although the frost
was a heavy one, it was not what is
generally described as a "killing
frost," although a good deal of the
living vegetation was blackened. The
frost Saturday is said by many to
have been the heaviest of recent years
for this season of the autumn.
The state and county and federal
elections were held throughout the
county Tuesday. As usual at general
elections, there was little interest,
and the total tabulated vote will not 1
be known before Friday, when the 1
commissioners will meet to tabulate
the vote. Quite a number of women
voted in the elections this year for
the first time. So far as known yes- 1
terday, not a single Republican or !
any other ballot but Democratic was 1
voted in the Tuesday elections. It is
not possible at this time to give the j
result of the vote on the constitution- i
al amendments. '

COURT IX SESSION.
Judge Peurifoy Presiding Over Common
Pleas Session.
A one week's session of the court
of common pleas was convened in
Bamberg Monday morning, with his
honor, Judge Peurifoy, of Walterboro,
presiding. Only civil business is
being heard at this session of court,
and it is likely that the session will
not-last through the week.
The first case tried was that of
J. A. Sanders against the Bank of
Olar. This suit was the result of a
deposit by Sanders in the bank, and
by clerical error the deposit was credited
to the wrong name. When a
check from Sanders was presented, it
was not honored. Sanders sued the
bank for $3,000 damages. The jury
found for the defendant bank.
The next case was that of Canvass
Decoy Co. against S. W. Copeland, in
which the concern alleged that Copeland
was due a small amount for some
goods, payment of the bill being refused
because the goods were not as
represented. The verdict was in favor
of the defendant.
The suit of F. K. Graham against
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway company
resulted in a verdict in Mr. Graham'c
favor for $150, the amount
asked for the killing of a mule in a
shipment of stock.
Tuesday morning the case of R.
Newsom against the Southern Railway
company for the death of two
mules kulled in a shipment of stock,
was heard. The jury rendered a verdict
awarding Mr. Newsom damages
in the sum of $509.50.
The case of W. W. Maloney aaginst
J. D. Felder was being heard yesterday
as The Herald went to press.
This suit resulted from a collision of
Mr. Felder's automobile with the automobile
of Mr. Maloney, who claims
damages because of the alleged
wrecking of his car.

Hallowe'en Party.
Last Saturday night being Hallow
e'en, Miss Louise Wiggins entertained
quite a number of her friends. The
whole house was decorated for the
occasion with pumpkins, black cats,
and weird faces. Soon after arriving,
the guests were invited one by one
into the "witch's den" where Miss
Leona Brabham acted as fortune teller.
The room was in utter darkness
and chains rattling added more to
the horror of the room.
\
Papers were then passed around
and each guest was requested to comment
on some boy or girl present.
Phis caused much laughter as the
papers were read; each guest found
lis or her fault. A jar of shelled peaauts
was brought forth and each person
was requested to guess the numDer
in the jar. Miss Sistrunk won
:he prize, a bottle of Mavis. Other
james, such as biting the apple out of
vater and biting the apple from a
string, were enjoyed. Handsome souvenirs,
such as brooms, witches, cats,
md small pumpkins, were given out.
Refreshments suitable for a Hallowi'n
party were served, consisting of
lag's teeth (peanuts), River Styx
^punch), cannibal's delight (sandviches),
bloody bones (pepper mint
itick candy), and doughnuts.

AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT.
Young Negro Man Found Dead Neat
His Ditched Automobile.
George Kearse, Jr., a young negrc
about 18 years old, was found dead
early Saturday morning on Carlisle
street. Appearances indicated that
Kearse had been the victim of an
unusual automobile accident. The
accident had taken place some time
during the night, and the boy had
been lying on the street dead probably
for some hours before he was
found by a colored woman going tc
work Saturday morning.
A few yards away in the railroad
cut ditch was an automobile that told
the only tale that can be surmised as
to the cause of the negro boy's death
The car had gone head foremost intc
the ditch. The wind shield was apparently
the only thing seriously hurl
about the car, and those who visited
the scene of the accident Saturday
morning drew the conclusion thai
he had been thrown through the
windshield and that a piece of broker
glass- had severed a blood vessel ir
the leg. A stream of blood led from
the car to the body.
It seems likely that Kearse eithei
lost control of the car or mistook
the ditch for the road, and when the
car went into the ditch the jar threw
him against the glass. It appeared
that a small cut in the leg was the
only injury he sustained. The boy
who was married, lived in the servant's
house in the rear of Mrs. J
D. Copeland, Sr.'s residence, and il
was evident that he was trying to gel
home, when the loss of blood rendered
him unable to go further. He
had gone about half way home when
he died.
Kearse was the son of George
Kearse, a well known gardenr aboul
town who is highly respected.

Angus Patterson, who for 33 consecu
tive years represented Barnwell county
in the house and senate, and for
22 years presided over the senate. She

: "1 shall give one very striking in;
stance of the working of the law in
l the Bamberg school. While visiting
[ the grades there I found that in the
i sixth grade, Mrs. Murdaugh teacher,
there was not a mark on the register
* for the month of October, which
: means that there were no pupils abi
sent or tardy for that month. There
r is an enrollment of 22 pupils in that

? records also. Let the other grades

County Exhibit Day November 20th. ?
Report for October. ; .
I n'
I
We are planning to have exhibit ?
day in Bamberg on Saturday, Nov. 20, ^
when we hope to have an exhibit i
from every boy and girl in club work. C
This is the end of the year and as ~~
most of us have worked well we want n
the public to see the result of the S
work. Some of the boys and girls ?
have made a splendid record and we
are proud of them. r<
All club members will please get g
their exhibits in Friday if possible, ?
but if they can't, be sure to have _
them there by nine o'clock Saturday t
morning. We are planning to have s<
speakers and think it will be of in-i
terest to everybody and hope as many h
si
as can will come out. y
Now is the time for us to turn our fc
attention to the orchard if we are to v
have anv fruit another year. There
are entirely too few fruit trees in the
county, and I want just as many of 0
the club members as possible to start ^
their perennial gardens this year. In q
this garden of one-tenth acre we have fruit
trees, all kinds of berries, grapes ^
and other small fruits. By getting g
these through the home demonstra- a:
tion agent, a reduction is made to b
club members. I shall be glad to ~
have at least twenty club members si
start these gardens. I have seen T
quite a few, but if there are any in- ?
terested whom I have 'not seen, I _
shall be glad if they will write me
about it. 3
