Hammond Still, white boy about
fifteen years of age, was shot in the
shoulder Monday night. Pistol shooting
was promiscuous and he was hit by a
bullet that had no doubt struck brick
wall and glanced He was on Main steet
near Vernon'S market at the time. The
ball was spent one, and it only entered
the flesh little ways. 1t was cut out
and he is all right again.

MIR. Henry Bamberg was accidentally
shot and slightly wounded Tuesday. In
getting out of a buggy at the lot at his
fathers residence, his coat became entan-
gled in some way, throwing pistol out
of the buggy and discharging it. The
bullet entered his right side, intiicting q
slight flesh wound. The, ball was cut out
lust under the skin His hurt is not at all
serious, and he will be all right in a few
days.
As an instance of the way G. Frank
Bamberg's business is increasing, 1t IS
worthy of note that he has sold more
vehicles during the past three months
than he did for year previous. And he
did tremendous business last year, too.
This makes the increase this fall all the
more remarkable. He buys right and
sells right is the secret of his success.
Give him a call when you want horses,
mules, buggies or wagons. He Will treat
you right.
We have been given some corrections
to the roll of the Bamberg Guards as pub
lished last week. K. S. Weeks was q
member of the company before and after
the reorganization and died after the war.

pany prior to the reorganization and was
transferred to Lamar'S Artillery. G. ?.
Milhous was also member prior to '62
and died with typhoid fever at Coles
Island near Charleston. Our informa-
tion is that all of these went out with the
company when it volunteered at the
of the war.
J. R. Bellinger Esq, was small loser by
the fire in Columbia last week. He with
Messrs. Fl. F. Rice, B. F. Rice, and W. Fl.
Townsend were stopping at the Jerome
Hotel. Mr. Bellinger was out spending the
evening, and when the fire broke out he
went to the hotel to remove his belong
ings. Mr.. H. F. Rice, however, had been
in the room and brought out Mr.. Bell
inger's valiseJ along with the articles on
the bureau, but there was some under
clothing in the wardrobe which was re-
moved BY other parties before Mr.. Bell
inger's arrival, and it was not found.
The promiscuous shooting of cannon
crackers and pistols on the streets last
Saturday and Monday nights resulted IN
small hole in the glass of the front door
of the Bamberg Pharmacy, another in
the large front window of the store
occupied by G. A. Ducker, and some
one exploded large cracker against the
front winow of the store of d. H. Counts
s. Co.. breaking out both the large bottom
panes of glass. This happened about
eight o'clock at night, and was nothing
but an act of malicious mischief, as the
cracker was thrown right ut the window
when it exploded. The panes broken are
large, heavy ones, and will be expensive
to replace.
