The death of State Treasurer Bam berg has removed from the ranks of the living a good and true son of South Carolina. We suppose the Governor will make the appointment of his sue eessor during the week as it is impor ' tant to have the office filled at once. We haveheard three candidatesspoken of, Mr. J. F. Wallace, of Yorkville, and Mr.W. H. Gibbes and Col. J. P. Thom as, of Columbia. Steps are being taken to incorporate the Columbia Register with a capital stock of $50,000. This is a step in the s right direction. We would like very much to see the Register put on a basis with plenty of capital to make it even a better paper than it is. The famous trial of Dr. McDow for the killing of Captain Dawson is in progress this week in Charleston. The evidence promises to be voluminous. So fax only the State's witnesses are being examined, and one cannot yet form an idea of what the result will be. In the city of New York a few days ago, in the same Court room, one man who admitted, after being captured in Canada and returned to the United =. States, that he had been a forger, and while cashier of a bank had stolen - $95,000,was sentenced to five years and ; six months imprisonment. The othei man, who was oonvicted of stealing 8 suit of clothes said to have been worth $30, was sentenced to Sing Sing for thret years and six months. That is one way of admiinisterin Th ltte h~f~tb~te wh4 and A CANNING FACTORY. ans We desire to call attention to an arti- hat ele on the first page of The Herald and cls News this week in regard to canning wh factories. This year of abundant fruit crops, reminds us that such an enter prise might be undertaken here with i profit. Of course it is too late to do any- A. thing this year, but now is the time to talk about it and discuss it, and then in the fall steps can be taken to get Mi ready for the next crop. From the esti- th mate made in the article to which we fro refer,such an enterprise could be started Kwith a very small outlay of money. A gentleman told us not long since that if he could have found sale for them he de: could have brought here a wagon load str of cherries, and he is taking no special d pains togrow them. And soitis with o a great many farmers. And then to-hi matoes can be grown here and quanti- cai ties of them are canned and sold every n m3Ew\nta 0 no o ms enternse and be ready by the next crop to can --~rit of the county that is now to to] be In Mr. Tanner of the Pension Depart- Ra ment is making rapid decrease in the M surplus, and it is thought that if he is rtai-ed in office that by the meeting of s the next Congress the surplus will al- ot most have become a thing of the past. de Es,h man in his office as his allow- i ance is increased, gives a big chain pagne banquet at which Tanner is one w of the most prominent guests.

P CHARLESTON, June 24.-The first q day of the McDow murder trial was e just such an one as that on which the a victim of that awful tragedy was a to rest under the oaks of St. Lawrence. A cold East wind blowing half a gale, murky skies and drenching showers of rain ushered the day in,and during the 7 entire trial there was not a break in the skies. Long before ten o'clock the lobbies of the court house and the sidewalks in the vicinity were thronged with people I anxious to get in. A battallion of dep uty sheriffs and policemen kept some- 1 thing like a semblance of order, although there were occasional breaks when the court room doors were opened to admit attorneys, repor ters, jurymen, witnesses or others pro vided with the entree, At ten o'clock the room was packed, about one-third of the audience being negroes. THE PRISONER IN THE DOCK. McDow was placed in the dock but at a later stage ot the proceedings was eiven a seat by his counsel, Judge Mc rath and Asher D. Cohen. The pris oner looked well in health, but this face was without trace of color. He toyed with his watch chain occassioally, and while seated in the dock kept moving his head in every direction, occasion ally, but rarely, bowing toanacquain tance. Only two men approached him in the dock-Simeon Hyde, a lawyer, and Judge Twigga, of Augusta, whoi here in another murder case. Both of these shook hands with him. His father-in-law, C. D. Ahrens, was in court ,but was seated near the attorneys Amonig those in the bar were mosters the local lawyers and several ministers of the gospel. THE TRIAL BEGINS.

THE SWISS MAID'S STORY. Her story was drawn out by re- f eated questions, the answers being al- 1 rays frank and delivered in the most i uiquant and delightful of pigeon En lish. This is her statement, con ensed : "I live in Charleston wiz )awson family for three years. Born n Geneva and come to Amerique wiz fees Dawson. I haf father ; ees in ;eneva, wiz my two brothers; one rother ees in London." She met Mc Dow on the first of February last, in he street. Knew him but not to speak :o. He asked her to run away with rim to France the first time. "What did you tell him'?" "I say no, I would not lef Mees Dawson for anyzing in ze world." It seems that the acquaintance or flir tation continued from February 1st, 1889, to the day of the murder. During this time the girl admitted that she had frequently met McDow, on the street and at Captain Dawson's house. He gave her flowers and a gold watch and chain, and wrote poetry to her. The burden of his talk with her was to run away with him. She knew he was married and a father, but he al ways said that he would get a divorce from his wife ; that he had only mar ried ner for her money. His wife was a German wonian, and he found it im possible to live with her any longer. She saw him at Captam awson's house, where the two remained in the library for two hours, and at another time when they met in the cook's house on Captain Dawson's premises. This was while Mrs. Da o,,- .11ug 01 Znc , she ca, McDow in a street car by appoint- praci .

In a few minutes after the arrival of Mrs. LeConte and Mrs. Boozer, Mr. Bam berg died, before Dr. Taylor reached the house. The funeral will take place to morrow at 12 o'clock at his former home, Bamberg, S. C. The immediate cause of Capt. Bamberg's death was heart disease, as the certificate of his attending physician, Dr. Taylor shows. He leaves a brother, Capt. Frank M. Bamberg, and is a nephew of Mr. E. M. Slater, of Orangeburg.
