Home Wedding.

Tuesday morning of this week at
nine o'clock Mr.. w. D. Roberts and
Miss Marion Kearse were happily
married. The wedding occurred at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. j. J. Kearse, in the Kearse
section of this county, about fifteen
miles below Bamberg. The marriage
was quiet home affair, only the i'm
mediate relatives of the couple be-
ing present. Rev. R. A. Yongue, Of
Barnwell, was the officiating minis
ter. Shortly after the ceremony the
| young couple drove to Olar and took
the Seaboard for a trip to Tampa
and other points in Florida. They
will make Bamberg their home, and
will be ''at home" to their friends
after next week.
Mr.. Roberts is a most excellent
young man. He is a native of Rich
land county, but has been resident
of Bamberg for the past two years.
He is first assistant at the Carlisle
Fitting School, and is we'll liked both
as man and teacher. He has made
many friends in Bamberg, being
prominent in social and church life,
and he and his bride will find a warm
place in the hearts Of our people.
The bride is well-known here. She
was formerly astudent in the Fitting
School, and later has made her home
here for a good part Of the time with
her sister, Mrs. w. P. Jones. Her
numerous friends will rejoice that
she will again make this city her
home. The Herald joins the well
wishers of the couple in sincere con-
gratulations and good wishes.

Death of Mr.. A. p. Gray.

Mr.. A. P. Gray, of the Olar section,
died at his home last Sunday night,
after an illness of only four days.
He was in Bamberg Wednesday of
last week, and his friends remarked
how bright and cheerful he was.
Hemorrhagic fever was the cause of
his death, he being taken sick on
Thursday.
The burial took place at the Kearse
burying ground in the Buford's
Bridge neighborhood Tuesday about
twelve O'Clock, the funeral being
attended by large number Of his
friends and relatives. Rev. R. A.
Yongue, his pastor, conducted the
religious services, then the Knights
of Pythias took charge, the burial
service of the order being read by
Prelate J. F. Carter. MIR. Gray was
a member of Bamberg lodge, and
several Knights from here attended
and took part in the service, other
Knights from the Olar lodge being
present and assisting in laying their
friend and brother away to rest.
Mr.. Gray was a resident of this
town for several years, being chief
of police, which position he resigned
to go back to his farm. Only few
years ago he was married to Miss
Kearse, and she with an aged father
survive him. He had many warm
friends in Bamberg, and not only his
Pythian brethren but numbers Of
others will regret to know Of his
death. He was man of many fine
traits of character, and will be miss
ed in the community and county.
He was good citizen, one we can
i'll afford to lose. Mr.. Gray was
about forty-six years old.

It was not the intention of city
council to allow the placing of goods
on the sidewalks of Main street. The
notice published last week was not
exactly clear on this point, hence our
criticism. The right was granted
fruit dealers to use the curb just
outside the sidewalk and no mer-
chant has used the sidewalks. In
Justice to the authorities this state
ment should be made.

COTTON MILL TEN TO r1EET.
Gathering of Manufacturers to BE- Held
in Spartanburg.

SPARTANBURG, Dec. 18..-The semi
annual meeting of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Manufacturers associa-
tion will be held in Spartanburg on
Jan. 2. The meeting will be called
to order in the Spartan mills hall.
The association has in it's member
ship of 10 practically every mill
president and manager in the State.
The last meeting Of the association
was held at Lake Toxaway, N. c.,
last summer. The meeting was one
of importance and was very largely
attended by the mill men.
The association has put itself on
record as favoring many reforms in
the cotton mills, including a compul-
sorry education law, marriage IL
cense law, a child labor law and the
reduction of hours of work. 1t is
probable that there will be recon-
mended to the legislature these i'm
provements, and the Spartanburg
meeting for this reason is expected
to be one of great importance. The
conditions generally in the State will
be discussed and it is probable that
the agreements formulated here will
be brought out in recommendation
to the legislature.

The latest crop report of the gov
ernment, issued last week, puts the
crop this year way above that of last
year, and of course the price of cot
ton is still going down. Even if there
has been alarger crop of cotton made
this year than last, we do not think
the difference could be so great as
the government report makes it.
The remedy is to plant less cotton.

RoBBER ARRESTED IN FLORENCE.
Allen Nelson, White, Who Robbed a
Store in Denmark, Caught.

Allen Nelson alias Mansfield alias
Smith, white, was arrested here last
night by Officer Joe Turbeville on
the charge of robbery which he COM
nitted at Denmark. Nelson and
others broke in a store at Denmark
a few nights ago and stole several
valuable articles and made their es-
cape.
The authorities at Denmark wired
the police all over the country giving
a description of the robbers and
Chief Koopman on being notified
kept a sharp lookout for the criminals
and by doing a clever piece Of detec-
tive work the chief located a woman
of i'll repute in the red light district
of this city. This woman had been
sent here from Sumter by Nelson
and it was understood that Nelson
was to meet her here last night.
Detective R. C. Hardwick, of Den
mark, came here last night and
identified Nelson as he got off the
train from Augusta and he was
nabbed before he knew what had
happened. He was carried to the
guard house where he and the woman
remained until o'clock this morn
ing when Detective Hardwick car
ried them back to Denmark on the
early train. =
The authorities here got a set Of
knives and forks and typewriter
from Nelson which he had gotten
from the store in Denmark. 1t is
said that Nelson is notorious robber
and he is wanted in several other
places for crimes Of stealing. He is
wanted in Augusta, Ca, for stealing
"a horse and buggy.
When Chief Koopman received no
tice of the robbery at Denmark he
was watching man in the city by
the name of Herbert Burgess, white,
who was implicated in the same rob
berry but Burgess seemed to smell a
rat and he left here but was later
arrested by the Denmark authorities.
There were some wild rumors on the
streets here this morning about the
affair here last night. It was re-
ported that Nelson tried to hang
himself with his neck tie in the
guard house but this proved false

SAVING THE GOLD DUST.

Precautions Taken in the Manufac-
turing jewelers. Establishment.
Washing machines seem all right
enough in laundry, but they would
scarcely be looked for in the establish
ment of a manufacturing jeweler. Yet
they play an important part in such q
plant.
In a washing machine are washed
daily all the aprons and all the blouses
worn by the workers employed in the
manufacture of articles of gold. Then
the water in which these things have
been washed is piped to room where
the gold contained in it IS extracted
and saved.
Particles of gold adhere to the hands
and faces of the workers in the pre-
cious metal, and even get into their
hair. Twice a day all the operatives
wash their hands and faces; and the
water is, like that from the washing
machine, piped to the extracting room.
Here there is installed a big filter,
with its filtering section made of can
vas and resembling outwardly the
pleated section of giant square con-
certiha, as 1t would look partly drawn
out All the water from the washing
machine and from the wash bowls In
the factory is forced through this filter,
and at regular intervals the filtering
section is taken out and the gold re-
moved from it.
All the floors in the factory are COW
cred with tar paper, which catches and
holds all the gold particles that fall
upon it. From time to time a new pa
per covering is laid on the floors, the
old being burned for the gold contained
in it
By these aeans are saved in a fac
tory annually thousands of dollars
worth of gold that without such pre-
cautions would iieF.-aoIy be lost.-New

Mr.. Henderson had accompanied Capt.

sations no one knew, but they seemed
to be confidential in character. When to-

seldom that word passed between them.

Young Adair. who had been released
from his dangerous position at Britton's
Neck, had joined the brigade, and as
Dawson had been the most active in
setting him at liberty, the query natural
y arose whether any previous acquaint-
ance mad existed between the parties. If
the affirmative of this was true. how
long had such an acquaintance existed,
and under what circumstances had it
commenced? But these inquiries were
as unanswerable as the others. Frank
Forstall, though well acquainted with the
inhabitants of Britton's Neck, did not
remember of ever hearing the name OF
Job Dawson.
The one engrossing idea that now oc-
cupied and agitated the mind of For

why he wished to achieve his liberation.

HUGE CHUNK OF COPPER.
Which Will Weigh Fifty Tons Be
ing Excavated In a Mine
To be continued.)

Which Will Weigh Fifty Tons Be-
ing Excavated In a Mine.
An enormous mass Of pure native
copper is being uncovered at the Mich
igan mine, in Ontonagon County, says
the st. Paul Dispatch. The big chunk
lies in the tenth level at a point about
1000 feet from one Of the principal
shafts. Several large pieces have al
ready been cut from it, and these,
with the remainder of the mass so ex-
posed, weigh fully twenty tons. How
much more there is of the big chunk
is matter of conjecture, but from all
| indications the aggregate weight of the
mass will be found to run fifty or even
| more tons. Masses of copper are en-
| countered so regularly at the Michigan
| that one of several tons excites no COM
ment. 1t is only when one of unusual
size is located that it is deemed worthy
of notice.
Large as this mass will doubtless
prove, however, it will be pigmy COM
pared with the famous mass found in
nesota, in 1856. This was 1919 by 1917
by 46 feet in size and weighed 527
tons. 1t required twenty men fifteen
months, working with long handled
chisels, to cut this mass into pieces
small enough for hosting, and twenty
seven tons of copper chips were made
in doing this work. Countless smaller
masses, some of which, however,
weighed several hundred tons, were
taken from this mine, and there is no
question that it deserves the title Of
the richest copper mine ever opened
The Calumet and Hecla Is far more
valuable mine, but no other mine open
ed has ever yielded such enormous
quantities of copper from such small
openings as were furnished by the best
Slopes of the old Minnesota. 1t is in
teresting to note that the Minnesota
mine was discovered in 1S47 through
finding an Indian pit In which was a
six-ton mass of native copper that had
been broken from its matrix of rock
and raised on skids. The skids had
rotted centuries before, and on the soil
that had covered the nugget grew a
hemlock tree, showing nearly 400 rings
of annual growth. The old company
suspended operations in 1870-why,
has never been satisfactorily explained
and since its reorganization, at De-
troit, IN 1899, the present company,
under the title Of the Michi-
gan, has been engaged in developing
the mine anew.
The biggest mass of copper ever dis
covered in Michigan, or in the world,
for that matter, was a 600-ton chunk
found in the old Phoenix mine in |
Keweenaw County, the Minnesota mass
ranking second. This Phoenix mass,
with copper at the time selling at 80 |
cents per pound. was worth about |
S350,000, yet it is chronicled that so |
inefficient were the people In control
Of the property, little If any profit was
made from the magnificent find.
