The Flag of the Lost Cause" still
has true friends. If it were not SO,
then there could be no forgiveness
for the South. If the men who fought
under that flag had not been sincere
they would not have offered their
lives as a sacrifice in its defense. A
mans loyalty to his Preside is closer
to his heart than the lines of any
political division. The South was
true to her home interests, and today
Is just as true to the nation. She did
not seek the destruction of the ma
ton, but the protection of her
homes. The war was a mistake, but
the South fought in s~elf-defense.

Girl Brutally Murdered.

The sixteen year old daughter of George
Waddell, farmer near Fremont, Wayne
county, N. c., was murdered Sunday after.
noon, and her body was thrown in mari
pit, where it was found the same day.
Miss Waddell left her home at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon to visit Miss Holland,
who lives half a mile from the Waddell
family. Late in the evening when she
failed to return, her father went to inquire
about her, and learned that she had not
been to the place. Search was then insti-
tuted, and the body was found floating on
the surface of the water in the mari pit in
the field near her home.
An examination Of the body showed
numerous bruises and scratches, and the
condition of her neck made it clear that
she had been strangled. The circum-
stances indicated that the girl had been
outraged. Her umbrella lay near the pit
and the ground showed that struggle
had taken place. There is intense excite.
ment in the surrounding country but there
is no clue as to the murderer.

HORRIBLE CRIME IN PlCKENS.
Two Little White Girls Victims Of Negro Brute
Named Letter lawrence.

Named Letter Lawrence.
GREENv1LLE, Sept. 3.-Charged with
criminally abusing the two little daugh'
ters of a farmer, near Pickens Court
House, Jeter Lawrence, a negro 40 years
of age, was arrested by Sheriff Jennings
and brought over and placed in the
Gresnville Jail early Sunday morning.
Congressman Geo. s. Legare, OF the
Charleston district, acted as one OF the
sheriff's deputies, and came to GreenVille
with the prisoner and officers. The party
reached here just at daylight.
Lawrence is said to have been one OF
the hands on the farm, and his treatment
of the two little girls, seven and nine
years of age, respectively, is said to have
been going on for two months. 1t seems
that be had frightened them into silence,
though one of them finally told her play
mate, who later told her parents, and then
the news came to the father of the out
ragged children. The negro was captured
about II o'clock Saturday night. There
was no excitement until Sunday morning,
for nothing had been known OF the out
raeeous behavior of the negro, until after
he had be een landed in the Jail here. No
trouble is anticipated, though it is likely
Lawrence would have been lynched had
he been kept in Pickens.

Criminal Assault Charged.

ST. GEORGE, September 1.-Magistrate
Horn. of this place, today issued war
rant for the arrest of a negro named
Henry Snellings, charging him with COM

ELECTION DUEL AT uLMER.
". L. Brant, Candidate for Magistrate, Kills
N. J. Smith, and IS Himself Horribly
Wounded.

BARSwELL, Aug. 30.-News has just
been received here Of shooting scrape
that took place on election day at Ulmer,
which has resulted in the death Of one OF
the participants. 1t seems that after all
the votes had been counted and the crowd
was discussing the results, W. L. Brant,
candidate for magistrate at Ulmer, enter.
ed into discussion Of his race with N. j.
Smith, claiming that Smith had voted and
worked against him. This statement led
to bitter words, soon the lie was passed
and blow struck, Smith striking Brant
first. As Brant staggered under the blow
he reached for his hip pocket. As he did
so Smith whipped out a pistol and fired
six times, before Brant could get his gun
out, three of the balls hitting Brant but
none inficting serious wounds. BY the
time that Smith had emptied his gun he
commenced to. retreat and reload, but
Brant had succeeded in getting out his
pistol and fired at Smith, hitting him in
the abdomen, the ball ranging up through
his body. At this time friends came uI
and stopped the duel. Brant was carried
to his home where he is still confined in
bed with his wounds. Smith was taken
home and grew continually worse and
died yesterday afternoon.
The shooting is particularly sad affair
and is greatly regretted by all. Brant is
one of the most substantial men in his sec.
ton and enjoys the reputation of being a
quiet law-abiding.citizen. Smith was a
young man, married, and leaves his wife
and one child. He has lately moved to
this State from bonneville, Ga, and was
in the mercantile business at Ulmer. His
relatives from Georgia were sent for and
reached him yesterday. An inquest was
held over Smiths body today, but we
have not been able to get the verdict OF
the jury.
So far as can be learned this is the only
fatality or serious row arising over the
election in Barnwell county.

The Graded School Opening.

The wealth of Bamberg does not con-
sist in her business houses and her mer-
chandise, nor yet in her cotton mill and
her banking institutions but it consists
in her men and women, her boys and
girls. These make up the life and char
acter of our community. We are glad to
see the material development of our town
we believe there is a greater Bamberg now
building. With this material growth we
see livelier and keener interest mani
tested in the intellectual and moral de-
velopment of our young people. The
Bamberg graded school has taken on re-
newed life, has been organized under a
special act of the legislature, placing its
management in the hands of five of her
citizens. Teachers have been selected
who, we are sure, are not lesson-hearers
but who are interested in young life and
who believe that education is something
more than the acquiring of a knowledge
of facts found in text books.
The Carlisle Fitting School, the other
educational institution of our town, is
putting on new life, is extending its field
of usefulness and looks forward to a
larger work. These are evidences of
greater interest in our young people. For
the trustees and teachers of the Bamberg
graded school, we ask the cooperation
and support Of all our citizens and pa
irons in building up the best school we
have yet had. As trustees and teachers
We feel one responsibility and enter upon
the work with a determination to sue.

charge of the Fitting school also.
The opening exercises of the Bamberg
graded school will be held in the audito-

patrons fill the auditorium at that hour?

VOTE FOR J. n. WHARTON
Candidate for Railroad Commissioner Says v.
N. PolIatty, of WarrenvilIe, S. c.

In 1901 lad was working in cotton
mill long distance from his home. One
day he received a telegram to come home
at once, that his mother was very sick
While on the way home the engineer OF
fireman saw him standing on the ''blind
baggage" and told him to get off. The
boy did not get off at once, and the man
grabbed large piece of coal and threw
It at him. The lump of coal struck the
boy in the back, and knocked him sense
less from the car
The train moved on, and the lad lay
there on the ground. Soon crowd
gathered, but no one offered to help the
wounded boy. After awhile gentleman
drove along, and seeing the crowd, asked
what was up. "a wounded tramp" said
some one, and the gentleman stopped and
went to where the wounded boy was.
"It is somebody's son." said the gen
tleman, land I mean to help him.
would want someone to care for my boy
in the same circumstances" So saying,
he took the poor boy in his buggy and
carried him to his home, sent for doctor
and had the boy treated. 1t was found
that the boys ankle was broken and his
back injured When he could talk, the
boy was asked who was his father. Upon
being told the gentleman telegraphed the
father, telling him of his sons misfortune.
The father wrote to the gentleman, told
him he was thankful, and asked him to
take care of the poor boy. The gentle
man did so, not expecting and never ac-
cepting any pay for what he did, though
it was offered.
That man who took care of the boy who
was bruised and injured by heartless
railroad man, was none other than J. II.
Wharton, who is now a candidate tor
railroad commissioner.
The above are facts as really occurred
and wish to set at rest for ever the re-
port around the cotton mills that he be-
long to the railroads, body and SOU, to
influence the factory vote against him,
trying to make it appear that he is not a
friend of the working man.
Bnt know he is their friend, for he
took my boy in when he was knocked
from the train, and cared for him without
charge when no one else would, and kept
him until could send for him. And he
advised me of witnesses against the rail-
road who saw the engineer throw the coal
that knocked my boy from the train in
eo1, and Through their and the doctors
evidence, won the case.

Mr. Wharton railroad commissioner, you
will get true man, and warm friend.
