Negro Bow Shoots Himself.

Last Friday afternoon about o'clock a
little negro boy named John Brown acci-
dentally shot himself with pistol, the
bullet causing almost instant death. The
boy was the son of a negro woman who
cooks for Mr.. j. A. Byrd, and the accident
happened at his servants house In rear
of his residence.
1t seems that the boy had been left at
home to mind the baby, and had gotten
to pranking with an unloaded pistol. He
snapped the hammer for awhile on some
pieces of glass, but becoming tired of this
reached up and got a cartridge and put
into it. The ball took effect over his left
eve, and he was dead before his mother,
who was at Mr.. Byrd's, could reach him,
although she hurried Immediately on
hearing the shot.
There was no one in the house at the
time except the boy and a young baby,
but from the circumstances it is reason
ably supposed that the above statement as
to how he met his death is correct.
The pistol was cheap weapon, of 80
calibre, and was kept at the house BY the
boys mother Coroner Bessinger em-
panelled jury and held an inquest over
the body Saturday morning, and the YER
dict was that he came to his death from
an accidental pistol wound. The boy
was about ten wears old.

Paine'SCelery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inflammations' and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. MIR. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured BY
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; ne
says:-
"I am 81 years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis Fl years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, I have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure in my case.
I have recommended it to many, and they
have used it with the same result"

Trustees Elect Teachers.

The board of trustees of the Bamberg
graded school held meeting last Thurs
day for the purpose of electing teachers
and attending to other business. The fol
lowing teachers were elected for the en-
suing year: Mrs. j. A. Murdaugh and
Miss Leila Black, of Bamberg; Miss Ger
trude Hamilton, of Charleston; Miss Maud
Meetze, of Denmark, and Miss Isabella
Smoak, of Smoaks, Colleton county. The
last two are new teachers, and it will be
noted that one has been added to the
faculty. A superintendent of the school
was not elected at this meeting, and this
election will probably take place to-day
(Thursday.) We understand that the tw 20
new teachers, Misses Meetze and Smoak
are graduates of Winthrop College and
are trained teachers.
The trustees also considered the matter
of selling the bonds for the erection of a
new graded school building, this duty de-
volving upon the board by the terms of
the act authorizing their issuance. 1t was
decided to receive bids for the $4,000 in
bonds up to Wednesday, July Is, at which
time they will be sold to the party pay
ing the highest price. The sale of these
bonds will be duly advertised.

Gone Home.

Sunday, June 7th, at o'clock a. m. the
soul of Miss Genie Copeland, one of the
sweetest daughters of the Sunny South,
went home to God.
Gone home to dwell with God,
With garments undefled,
To gaze into the Fathers smiling face,
To know the fullnessof His love and grace,
And hear Him say, MY child"
Gone home to be at peace
In Gods own blessed home;
To lay the weary head upon His breast
And in the shelter of His arms to rest,
Where trouble cannot come.
Gone home to be with Christ,
Now crowned and glorifed,
To see Him as Hei is, beyond compare,
Hislikenessand His heirship both to share,
Forever satisfied.
Gone home to die no more,
To walk with Him in light,
Who Willis own to living fountains lead
Where pastures green supply their every
need.
And where there falls no night.
Gone home, where farewell tears
The eye shall never dim,
Where loved ones, gone before, expectant
wait
For loved ones still beyond the golden
gate,
To gladly enter in.
Gone home, who would not go?
Life's path is dark at best;
To live is Christ, and yet to die is gain,
To see Him, love Him, serve Him, with
Him reign,
To enter into rest.
Come home to Heaven above,
To that sacred spot
Where saints are welcomed to peaceful
rest.

So let US meekly wait and murmur not

Baseball flames.

The game of baseball at the park last
Monday afternoon was one of the pretti-
est exhibitions seen here in some time.
The Waynesboro boys play ball with a
snap and vigor that is delightful to lovers
of the game, and they are gentlemanly in
their conduct. There was no kicking
throughout the game. The score was five
to three in favor of Waynesboro, but
Bamberg would have been the winner had
it not been for costly errors on the first
inning.
Waynesboro went to the bat first and
piled up four runs, but they only succeed
ed in forcing one other man across the
plate during the balance of the game.
Bamberg did not score on the first inning.
and the runs to her credit were made some
time later.
Altogether it was a good game, and we
only regret that more of our people were
not present, We trust that hereafter the
young men who are trying to provide
amusement during the summer afternoons
will have better encouragement. They
have gone to great expense, and our peo-
pie should show their appreciation by at
tending the games in greater numbers.
Some people may not think SO, but never
theless it is fact that good ball games
here during the summer will advertise the
town and be of benefit to US.
The game Tuesday afternoon was also
good one, but our boys played better
ball than on Monday afternoon, and as a
consequence they won by score of eleven
to FIVE. The Waynesboro boys played
well, but the Bamberg aggregation of ball
tossers were a little too fast for them.
Cameron pitched for Bamberg Monday
afternoon and our own Hoffman occu-
pied the box Tuesday and pitched good
game In fact all our boys played good,
snappy ball, the work of Osteen, Bamberg,
Brabham and others being especially fine.
Osteen was easily the star player Of the
game, never neglecting an opportunity,
and he was good for hit every time he
came to the bat. He is an all-round player,
and Bamberg is fortunate in having him
on her team. Some brilliant playing was
done on both sides, both teams making
several double plays.
We note with a great deal of satisfac-
tion that much larger crowd was pres
ent Tuesday afternoon, and we are indeed
glad that our people are eshowing dispo,
sition to patronize the sport more liber'
ally. Many out oftown visitors were pres
ent, Denmark, Blackville, and Branchville
being well represented. If our own
people will attend the games well we can
have good ball, for then good teams viii
come here, even if Bamberg is a small
place to support frst-class baseball
team.
The game this "wednesday afternoon
is about to begin as We go to press, and it i:
safe to say that it will be hotly contested
Our boys intend to win if possible, anc
Waynesboro is equally anxious to carry
off the honors. 1t was hoped that A. NJ
and w. NJ. Brabham would arrive home
to-day from Wofford College, which
would have materially strengthened ou
team, but they will not get here until to
morrow, too late for this series Of games
