Here is the advertisement of an At
Gibson store which has "white goods" for
sale. Its personal impudence is excused
by the originality of the idea: "One OF
these nights mouse will gnaw match
on your pantry shelf, dear sister, and the
fire will spread until it reaches your room,
and you escape with your life, clad only
in your night garments. Such specta-
cular opportunity to create sensation
doesn't occur oftener than once in life
time, and how will you meet it? Dear
sister, will your night clothes be such
that the fremen will want to plunge IN
the flames and die? Or will you look like
the pictures on the billboards:"-kansas

In Reference to the Picnic.

EDITOR BAMBERG HERALD:-In lest
weeks paper there appeared an item
stating that the annual picnic would be
held at the school house instead OF the
Clear Pond, on account of the dance.
I wish to say the statement is absolute
ly false, as no one questioned seems TO
know who the "Citizens" are or anything
about the removal of the picnic from the
Pond. The picnic will, of course be- at
the Pond as usual, ana the "Citizens"
are cordially invited to attend.

TOO MANY RAILROAD CASES"
Other Business Almost Completely Shutntsd cSf
at the Recent Term Of Court in Barnwell.

BARSwE1L, March 25.-News comes
that Mr.. S. S. Furse, Jr., son of Mr. s. S.
Furse, former citizen of this county,
but more recently of Savannah, will be
married to Miss Nina Clarke Hatch, Of
that city, on April5. Mr.. Furse is a broth
er of Lieut.. John 81. Furse, of the United
States navy, serving in the Pacific Ocean,
Asiatic squadron.
Nearly all Of this term of the court has
been monopolized by railroad cases; all
other business is so completely shunted
off on switch, 50 to speak, that lawyers
interested in other business had but little
encouragement to prepare their cases for
trial The roster prepared for the Court
is entirely unjust, and it is a sore griev-
ance that Judges should not try cases in
order in which they appear on the calen-
dar, but consider a roster prepared by a
coterie of interested lawyers, as controll-
ing in the order of trial Notwithstanding
that cases may be transposed from the
order in which they appear on the calen-
dar.
Such administration Of the business of
the Courts works hardship on the less
arrogant and obtrusiye members of the
Bar, who invariably come in at the tail
end of the roster, although their cases
NAV, by virtue of their place on the calen-
dar, be entitled to the head of the roster.
If Judges, regular and special, would con-
slider, such abuse would cease; for the
remedy could be easily applied, without
altogether doing away with the roster:
For instance, the calendar numbers OF
cases as they appear on roster are: "a, "a,
Is, SO, 103, 81, s, 106, II, 80, 101, SO, 80, 80,
81, SO, 1O7, 101, 104, Is, IA, 5, 1o2, 81, 81, Z,
100.
The Court of Common Pleas winds up
on Saturday, 26th instant. The last case
tried was Eva Williamson, administratrix,
VS. Seaboard Air Line Railway, for death
of William Way. The other cases tried
were: F. 81. Creech rs Southern Railway
Company. Verdict for the railroad.
Geo. p. Kirkland VS. Charleston and
Western Carolina Railway Company.
Mistrial.
Wright IS Southern Railway Company.
Verdict for the railroad.
B. N. Roberts vs. Southern Railway

Letter to Prof. N. N. Salley, Bambers, S. c.

Dear Sir: You are teacher: here's one
for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three times
as much as the paint, and one paint goes
twice as far as another, how much are
these two paints worth?
IF Devoe is worth $3.50 or S1.75 a gal
lon, how much is the other one worth?
How much is gallon of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always paint.
There are true and false paint and short
measure.
How much is a short-measure gallon
worth? How much is false paint worth?
How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions year in the answer
to this last one. Yours truly

MURDER OR ACCIDENT?
Last night two negroes coming into
town, between the Peterson cottage and
water tank, on the Seaboard Air Line,
discovered. some one lying in the road,
apparently drunk or dead, and reported
the matter to Mr.. C. Il. Hutto, who, upon
investigation, found it to be the dead
body of MIR. Willie Lucas, who lived on
Mr.. J. D. Turner's place, just out OF
town. Upon further investigation it
was learned that Mr. Lucas had been
murdered by some person unknown. He
was shot in the right breast, the ball 60
ing through the body and lodging in the
skin on the opposite side. The coat
which he wore was burned with powder.
Lucas was last seen a short while be-
fore the killing with Mr.. John Love, his
brother-in-law, recently of this section,
but now of the Blackville section, where
he lives on Mr.. Simon Browns place.
The negroes who heard the shot saw a
large man standing BY the body with q
mule and buggy, and it is reported that
there is another party who saw Messrs.
Love and Lucas in buggy just after they
crossed the railroad track, in about two
hundred yards of where Lucas was killed.
The evidence against Mr.. Love is very
/ strong, and his statements as to his
whereabouts are very conflicting. Mag
istrate s. G.. Ray has empannelled jury
and will hold an inquest at five o'clock
this afternoon, as Coroner Bessinger is
sick and unable to attend to the matter.
Mr.. Love is in the guard house, awaiting
the investigation and verdict of the jury
of inquest.
Denmark has council and marshal
who deserve credit for the long and much
needed work they are doing, and it is safe
to say that if they remain in office one or
two more terms Denmark will be one of
the cleanest and neatest towns in the
lower part of the State. The street COM
mittee and Chief Hand keep their eyes on
things, and believe in having everything
in good shape. There is one thing being
overlooked, however, that should be en-
forced with heavy hand, and that is the
vagrant law. These loafng negro men
and women should be made to 60 to work
for living or 60 on the chain gang, that
they might be of some benefit somewhere
instead of lying up in their houses, steal
ing chickens, and being fed from the
white mans table by those that do work.
Send them to the chain gang, city fathers,
and stop so much chicken stealing.
