GOrtOn'S MinStrels.

One must have been hard to please who
was not delighted with the performance
of Gorton's Minstrels at the opera house
last Monday evening. We confess that
the company is favorite of ours, having
heard them on several occasions. In fact,
the first minstrel show we ever saw was
Gorton's. This was nearly twenty years
ago, and each succeeding performance we
have seen them in pleased US nearly as
much as the first.
The music of the band and orchestra
was fine, the solo singers had good voices
which they handled well, the "coons''
were laughable in their songs and jokes,
and, even if some of the stories were a
little old they were exceedingly well told.
The acrobatic work was as fine as we
have ever witnessed, and all in all the
performance was highly creditable one.
There was "something doing" every min
ute while the show lasted, there being no
long waits and every act going on with a
vim and dash that made one have his
wits about him to keep up. The show
was decidedly the best that Manager Folk
has yet given US, and if he will continue
to get such companies here he will we
believe have no cause to complain OF a
lack Of patronage.

McCue Hanged.

Ex Mayor Samuel McCue, of Char
lottesville, Va, was hanged in that city
last week for the murder Of his wife
Before the hanging he confessed the
crime to his spiritual advisers, but they
did not make the confession public till
after the execution. McCue was prom
inent man, and murdered his wife because
he had tired of her. he shot her in their
home one night just after they had return
ed from church, and claimed that burg
lar had killed her and hit him with some
heavy weapon which rendered him un-
conscious.
The trial was an interesting one, and
earnest efforts were made to save his
neck, but all were fruitless. The appeal
to the State Supreme court availed moth
ing, and the governor declined to even
commute the sentence to life imprison-
ment. If we could get to enforcing the
law like this in South Carolina, we would
have the right to call ours law-abiding
State, for these killings would soon cease.
Suppose some man of his prominence had
been charged with similar crime in this
State? Can any of US doubt what the re-
suit would have been, no matter what the
evidence?

Two New Stars.

The admission of Arizona and Oklaho-
ma will cause a change in the United
States flag by the insertion of two new
stars. There are now 45 stars arranged
in six rows of seven and eight stars. The
two new stars cannot be added to the
present arrangement without destroying
the symmetry. But there is no arbitrary
rule for arrangements in rows. Circles and
even star arrangements of the stars have
been resorted to in the past.
Originally, a stripe as well as star was
added for each new State. But in 1918
the number of States having reached 20,
congress reduced the number of stripes to
13, to typify the original States, and en-.
acted that ION the admission of every
new State to the union one star be added
to the union of the flag, and that such
addition shall take effect on the Fourth
of July next succeeding such admission. %

SHOCKING AFFAIR IN DARLINGTON.
Two White Men Murder a Negro and Attempt

The negro who was shot by white

is dead. The two men have been arrested
and are now in Jail. This would appear
to be case for a hanging. These two
white men worked at a saw mill a few
miles from Darlington and had been
making it . habit to 60 to. town and
get drunk, and on the way home would
shoot at egroes, dogs, ETC., promisciously,
terrorizing the neighborhood, but fortu-
nately had hit nobody until the day OF
this murder. They always carried shot
guns. The day this negro was killed the
two men had been to town as usual and
were following out their program of pro.
miscuous shooting on the way home
The negro was on load of cotton seed
and had not molested the men in any
way, being killed absolutely without
cause or excuse. When the county treas
urer, who was passing in his buggy, re-
monstrated with the men, they fired a,

Six Negro Children Perish in Flames.

Six Negro Children Perish in Flames.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. Six negro
children were burned to death in cabin
son the property of the Oketee club, in
Beaufort county, about 80 miles from sa-
vannah, on Sunday night. This is the
story told by a lady who came from the
scene last night:
Richard Door and his family, consist
ing of his wife and six children, lived in
a log house on the reservation of the
Oketee club. Sunday night Door and his
wife left their six children at home and
went q short distance to visit some OF
their aeighbors. During their absence
the children went to sleep, leaving a big
fire in the fireplace. 1t is presumed that
8 live coal rolled from the fireplace on to
the floor, setting the house on fire, burn
ing to death five of the children. The
sixth child, girl Is years of age, escaped
through the door, which was the only
exit to the cabin, but her burns and in
juries were of such serious character
that she, too, died the following day. The
funeral of the six children took place
on Monday near Ridgeland.

Woman Kills Her InSulter.

NJ. Greenberg, a Jewish peddler, was
shot and killed by Mrs. Bivens, in Dor
chester county last Saturday morning
about seven miles south of Ridgeville
The woman's husband is State Senator
from that county. About the 4th of Feb
ruary Mrs. Bivens had the man arrested
for threatening her life and making i'm
proper proposals, at which time she
left home and sought protection at
neighbor's but the case was dropped on hi!
promise to leave the neighborhood. He
returned Friday night, however, and sh'
sent for neighbor, saying Greenbers
was in the house and had attempted tt
criminally assault her.
This neighbor went two miles to an
other neighbor's, and the two returned
about six o'clock the next morning
Greenberg and Mrs. Bivens had been il
the house together while the man wen
for the neighbor. As they came up Mrs
Bivens met them and just then they heart
some one run out the back way. Mrs
Bivens told them Greenberg had run int

said Mrs. Bivens had sent for him. A!
soon as he said this Mrs. Bivens fired OF

Farmers Meet.

The farmers of Bamberg township held
a meeting in the court house last Satur.
day afternoon in obedience to the call OF
President Smith, of the cotton growers
association. A number of farmers were
present, and much interest was mani
tested.
Our farmers seem to be in earnest, and
there will no doubt be large attendance
at the county convention to be held here
next Saturday, the 18th. An official re-
port of the meeting will be found in an

gether in this matter of reducing the
acreage of cotton and amount of fertili-

Electric Light Franchise.

A special meeting of city council was
held last Thursday in order to hear
proposition from Mr.. Chase, of Florence,
for an electric light franchise. The emeet-
ing was merely an informal one, and
while the matter was discussed to some
extent, no definite action was taken
However, Mr.. Chase was requested to
make proposition in writing, and this
will be considered at an early date. In
the meantime council is getting all the
light they can on the question, in order
to act intelligently when the question Of
q franchise comes up.
We understand unoficially that Mr..
Chase wants franchise for thirty years
free, and a contract for the same length
of time from the town for thirty arc lights
at the>rate of 800 per light year. This
would make electric lights for the streets
cost the town $s,700 year. Our opinion
is that $50 the light is too high, and that
thirty lights would not be required. H
Mr.. Chase would give US twenty lights at
$75 per year, the number to be increased
as council saw they were needed, at the
same rate, why we would be heartily in
favor of granting the franchise. But we
think twenty lights sufficient. Council
will, we feel sure, 60 slow in the matter
and take all due regard for the matter Of
cost before signing contract or giving 8
franchise. That body is in full sympathy
with the movement for better lights, but
they want to protect the interests Of the
citizens and taxpayers. In the meantime,
| if there is any one else who wants to
make an electric light proposition to the
town of Bamberg, now is the time to DO

Differences in the House.

COLUMBIA, February 13.-At the begin
ing of the night session of the House OF
Representatives Mr.. LaFitte created q
sensation BY roasting" member of the
Aiken delegation (Mr. Cloy) and Solicitor
Davis of the second circuit whom ne &C.
cused of attempting to railroad" court
schedule through to the detriment OF
Bamberg. Mr.. LaFitte said he was sorry
for the house, that there was at least one
member who was unworthy to be here
He accused this member of deceiving him
and playing him false regarding this court
schedule. It was not right, it was moi
lust. it was not honorable, and he hoped
the house would not permit this attempt
to gag member by shutting of debate
with motion to table his LaFltte's
amendment. No honest man would do
thing like this.
The speaker warned Mr.. LaFitte to stay
within parliamentary limits. Mr.. LaFitte
closed by appealing to the house to vote
down such tactics.
A few minutes later LaFitte and Da
Wis met in the door, and there being
scuffie between them, about 100 members
crowded around, and for a few minutes
the excitement was intense, the gallerle:
being full of women who were looking
down at the scene. Mr. LaFitte afterwarc
made statement to the house that ne
blows had been passed, that he had moi
struck him, that he merely took hold o.
the arm of Mr.. Davis, who jerked away
from him.
Later Mr.. Cloy replied to Mr.. LaFitte
bnt h;s remarks were entirely uarlimen
tary, and he spoke in good humor. He
said he had tried to arrange aschedule tt
suit Bamberg, but could not, and that MI
! LaFitte's objection was that court Wouic
be held in Bamberg during the session o.
the legislature. Thus the matter ended
as Mr.. LaFitte did not pursue the mattel
further. The trouble grew out OF the new
ten circuit bill.

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, February 13.-"More rain,
more rest" is the pet saying of the coons,
but think they are getting rather tired of
the continued bad weather we are having.
Their supply of provisions is about ex-
hausted and they want to eat.
We have had a lantern show nearly
every night last week. The attendance
was good each night. Saturday night
was the biggest of the week. Then the
manager of the show gave away several
presents to holders of tickets with num-
bers drawn out of box corresponding.
The queerest present of them all was a
live pig, weighing about sixty pounds, in
pen in the hall. DR.. Copeland drew this
prize and had to 60 in the pen and catch
the pig. The scenery OF moving pictures
was funny and interesting and very nat
ural. sleight of hand exhibits were good;
in fact, was good all-round show.
Miss Helen Hunter spent some time as
the guest of Miss Fannie Ehrhardt last
week.
A Colleton coon was put in the guard
house Saturday. One of his comrades
says that he has been here for several
months, but did not get converted on no
whiskey until Saturday, and instead OF
having the holy laugh he had the holy
cry-boo hooed good fashion. His COM
rade said he wanted it written up and
sent to the Colleton Press and Standard
this week.
We learn that Mr.. I. D. Copeland has
sold out his interest in the store known
as Copeland s. Dannelley to his partner,
Capt. ]. M. Dannelly, who will now take
charge of the business. Mr.. Copeland
intends going with his father, Mr.. Joe 1.
Copeland, and help him manage his farm.
We all regret to see Isaac 60, and wish
him success in his undertaking.
One or two fights was prevented Satur-
day afternoon by the timely interference
of friends of both parties. Too much
"fussy K" aboard was the cause. The dis.
pensary authorities must have learned
how to distill a liquor that has two fights
and foot race to every pint. 1t seems
to be the case with those who drink it.
Saturday night and Sunday can be
classed as rainy night and day. Rather
damp for pleasure. Suited, however, for
ducks and geese.
We had four fine wild ducks for dinner
today. G. W. Able presented them to us.
They were very fine, and, as old Jack
