Ansel flakes Appointments.

GREENv1LLE, November N.-Gov-
ernor-elect Martin F. Ansel an
nounced today the appointment Of
Mr.. A. J. Bethea, of Darlington, as
the private secretary to the governor
and Miss Alice Henderson, as the
private stenographer to the governor.
Mr.. Bethea was highly recommended
to Mr.. Ansel by many influential per-
sons of the State, and especially BY
those of the Pee Dee section.
Mr.. Bethea was born and raised in
Marion and moved to Darlington
several years ago, where he became
4he editor of the Darlington Press,
a weekly newspaper of much moment
in the Pee-Dee section. MIR. Ansel
made this appointment after much
deliberate consideration and it will
doubtless be satisfactory to the peo-
pie of the State in general.
Miss Henderson is at present the
stenographer of Governor Heyward,
and she has been capable at all times,
and the appointment is deserved.
She has many friends all over South
Carolina, who will have cause to
congratulate her.

BOWMAN NEGRO KILLED BY TRAIN.
Fell Under Engine and Was so Horribl,
Mansled That He Died.

BOWMAN, November 2.-Philip
Hood, negro who lived near Bow
man, was so horribly mangled by the
engine of the Branchville and Bow
man railroad yesterday that he died
in about an hours time after being
injured.
The accident occurred yesterday
afternoon. Hood attempted to board
a flat car, which was being pushed
away from the station here by the
engine. He missed his footing and
fell directly in front Of the engine.
Both the engine and tender passed
over him and had proceeded for
some distance before the accident
was discovered. One of his legs was
completely severed at the thigh, his
arm was broken and he received
other injuries about the head and
body, resulting in his death.
Magistrate Dukes, of Branchville,
was communicated with and jury
of inquest was empanelled; the en-
ployees of the railroad being exon
Grated from any carelessness or neg
ligence.
This is the first death from acci-
dent since the road has been in ex-
iStence.

INTERESTING SUIT AT FLORENCE.
Charleston Firm Sues Florence Newspaper
Owner-Latter Secures Verdict.

FLORENCE, November 27.-One of
the most interesting cases that is to
come up before the court of common
pleas, was heard yesterday and to-
day. 1t was the case of Walker,
Evans & Cogswell, of Charleston, as
plaintiffs, against Hartwell M: Aver,
owner of the Florence Daily Times,
as the defendant. This suit was for
payment of money due to plaintiffs
for two Empire typesetting ma
chimes. The defendant claimed that
machines were inadequate and unfit
for the uses for which they were
sold and that he had offered to lose
the payments he had made, together
with the machines, at his own cost,
in settlement, but the plaintiffs re-
fused to accept payment IN this
manner.
The defendant, Aver, put in a
claim for damages. Messrs. Will
cox & Wilcox represented the plain
tiff and Messrs. Galletly, Shipp &
Ragsdale represented the defendant.
The case was given to the jury at
noon and they returned a verdict for
$500 damages in favor of thedefend-
ant. Notice was at once entered
asking for a new trial.

Poor Telephone Service.

Editor The Bamberg Herald =
Dear Sir: I feel like giving you the
right hand of fellowship. ON your edi-
torial on the telephone system. |
fully endorse it. AS / stated in last
weeks issue, l am not opposed to
improvements, and if there ever was
anything needed to be improved upon
it is our telephone system. You put
it very mild indeed when you said
you called it poor service. In fact it
would be hard to describe it in its
true light.
My experience with it has been
terrible, so to speak. had a phone
in my house for a year or more, and
during that time it was out Of order
nearly half the time, and a great
portion of this time it could not be
used at all, yet the bill came in regu-
larly for full pay.
Many a time would my wife and
daughter be called to the phone, and
often they would be up stairs and
they would come down to answer the
call to find that it was some one else
wanted on the line. Again, many q
time you would have to call central
three or four times before you could
get him, he neglecting his duties.
There are several other things that !
could mention, but space will not
permit.
Finally my phone was out Of fix,
could not use it at all for about q
week. informed the manager and
kept prevailing on the central to have
it fixed and they treated me with
silent contempt, so took the phone
down from the wall, placed it on my
shoulder, carried it to central office,
and presented it to them, stating to
them it had become a nuisance and
no good to me. A phone is quite a
convenient thing to have, provided
you could get respectable service. l
am opposed to monopolies because
they will impose upon the people
saying, 'Take what you can get and
do the best you can with it or do
without as you can't get it any ohter
way" hence l say down with trusts,
down with monopolies.

Yesterday morning we had a heavy
frost. Fire felt good to sit by.
w. A. Martin, a colored man was
shot by Mr.. Philip Padgett last week
Mr.. Padgett was acting constable fo1
Judge J. C. Copeland and had gone
once before for Martin, and ne
eluded arrest, but on this occasion
he was hemmed in so he could not
escape, drew his knife and advanced
on MIR. Padgett, so Mr.. Padgett used
his pistol on him with fatal results
Martin had told a party when ne
escaped the first time, that if Mr.
Padgett came back and tried to ar,
rest him, using an oath, that ne
would cut Padgett's heart out OF
him. Martin was a desperate char,
acter, and used his knife freely.
During the earlier part Of the year
he cut a darkey by the name OF
Wright at prayer meeting he was
holding at one of the darkey houses
on Mr.. w. I. Carter's plantation.

that there is danger Of killing them
One party said that the woods was

to go into peoples yards and gardens
to elude them. I did not know what
caused it but saw a big buck rabbit
in my yard one day last week.

HOODS SLAYER A BOOK AGENT.
Sheriff Hunter, Of Lancaster, Finds One Of the
Men Involved in the Killing Of Negro
Wounded Across the State Line.

LANCASTER, November 27.-Sherif
Hunter returned today from his
chase after the two young white men
charged with the killing yesterday of
Ben Hood, colored, as published in
today's News and Courier. The sher-
iff found one of the men, J. Il.
Lance, at the home of J. E. Austin, a
farmer near Waxhaw, N. c., suffer
ing from a gun shot wound in the
arm, received in difficulty with Hood.
which occurred at Hoods home, ten
miles North Of Lancaster.
Lambert, Lance's companion, had
left Austin's before the arrival of the
sheriff and is still at large. Owing
to the serious nature of of Lance's
wounds Sheriff Hunter could not
bring him to Lancaster. Magistrate
Griffin held an inquest last night
over Hoods body. The jury's YER
dict chargde both Lance and Lam
bert with the killing.
The accused are book agents. rep
resenting a Charlotte concern. The
trouble between Hood and the agents
was about a claim the latter went to
the formers house to collect. It is
said that the difficulty began when
one of the agents went to the mantle
piece to take down a clock. Lance
claims that Hood shot at him first,
the load striking him in the left arm,
and that he then fired on Hood in
self-defence. Hoods widow, how
ever, it is reported, says her husband
did not shoot at all. That Lance was
shot by his companion, Lambert.
Hood was shot throught the heart
and died instantly. Immediately
after the shooting Lance and Lam
bert hurriedly left, going over into
North Carolina.

Pleasant Party.

Friday evening, *'between the
dark and the daylight, 3" in the pretty
reception room at Mrs. Garland's,
Miss Barnett and Miss Connor stood
amidst chrysanthemums and pot
plants awaiting the merry groups of
grave Alices, laughing Allegras and
Ediths with golden hair. Their Sun
day school classes were coming for a
real "Children's Hour"
A peanut tied to a heart was given
each guest. They were then asked
into a room where they found five
tables. On each table was a large
white bowl containing raw peanuts
and four hat pins. Miss Barnett
explained that altho the hatpins must
be held in a seemingly discouraging
way, there was a great chance OF
scoring high; for the colored peanuts
had double value. Miss Gill tapped
the bell, and the "get busy" begun.
When the scores were counted, it
was found that Misses Mozelle Cope
land, Pearle Rice, Katherine Ducker
and Mortima Ray had tied. Kathe-
rine Ducker luckily received dainty
handkerchief. Misses Ottie Simmons,
Blanche Garland and Eva McCue
contested hotly for the BOBBY. Ottie
Simmons ''bore" away the bag of
peanuts.
After refreshments, Miss Hepburn
and Miss Connor led the merry
maidens thro many most tantalizing
imitation contests. All too soon the
fun ended.
Those who enjoyed the peanut
spearing were: Mozelle Copeland,
Nadine OFT, Kate Hayden, Florence
Dickinson, Louise Fielder, Ethel and
