Bamberg Broom Factory.

Bamberg has an enterprise which is
one of the most unique of its kind any
where. 1t is broom factory conducted
by blind man. Mr.. L. A. Singley is the
proprietor, and he does a large part ofthe
work himself, even though he is blind.
He does first-class work and turns out
brooms which would be credit to any
factory. This Office has been using one
of his brooms for some time, and he sup
plies the local demand here very largely,
many of the stores buying brooms from
him for stock. he is now increasing his
facilities, and is shipping brooms to
neighboring towns in dozen lots and
more. 1t seems to US that it would be a
good idea 10 organize stock. company
and 60 into the manufacture of brooms
on a large scale. Ready sale could be
found for the product of the factory, and
in addition to the people employed in the
factory, the growing Of broom corn by
our farmers could be made a profitable
industry.

A Bell With q History.

The bell which was rung to notify the
veterans that dinner was served, when
they dined with the Daughters of the
Confederacy on Memorial day, has quite
history.
1t was dropped by the yankees and
picked up at Flint Hill near Manassas by
Norman Reed, a colored man, belonging
to Mai. John J. McIver, of Society Hill
and who went into the army with Maj
McIver as his body-servant and mess
cook.
After finding the bell Norman used il
to call the mess together at meal times
and brought it home after the surrender
carefully preserving it as great treasure
he asked to be allowed to ring it himself
on this occasion, and brought it to the
court house, where the dinner was served
on Thursday morning, beautifully polish
ed and ready for use again. Maj. McIvel
was in Company l., of Eighth regiment
and if any of the members of his mess in
that company were dining with the vet
erans on the 10th of May, 1905, the sound
of the big copper bell must have reused
many memories of other days and scenes

the inhabitants were notoriously shift

the noon hour, he inquired what were

absorbed in resting on log in front of
his dwelling, replied that he "guessed

Thus encouraged the traveller dis

the food to be such that he could not
force himself to partake Of it. Making
such excuses as he could for lack of appe'

to take there, and one, sure to be found
on farm. He asked for some milk.

Johnston, white man, charged with the
murder of his brother-in-law, Gwynn

a quarter of mile from town, where
they hanged him and riddled his body

to shoot Johnston in his cell.
At the last term Of court there was .
mistrial in the case, eleven Jurors stand
ing for murder in the second degree, and
one for manslaughter, and this is sup
posed to have been the cause of the lynch

The Case Of r. A. Adams.

Application was made last Monday be.
fore the State Supreme Court in the mat
ter of R. A. Adams, who is now under
death sentence in Colleton County. This
case has attracted great deal Of interest
and the escape of Adams and the difficult
ty Of securing his rearrest are quite
familiar.
Messrs. W. B. Gruber and Robert Al
drich, as counsel, have asked the Supreme
Court to grant motion to allow motion
for new trial to be entertained by the
Circuit Court. It appears that permis-
sion has first to be secured from the
Supreme Court, and should this permis>
sion be granted on the ex parte showing
then it will be question for the Circuit
Judge to allow the motion for the new
trial. The present move Is simply to se-
cure permission to argue the motion for
a new trial before the Circuit Judge.
The application for the new trial Is
based almost entirely on the af1davits OF
Mrs. Adams, who is the wife Of the brother
of Adams, who is under death sentence.
1t appears that Mrs. Adams is the daugh-
ter of Jacques, who was killed by Adams,
and at the time of the trial Mrs. Adams
was estranged from her husband and not
living with him, and she gave testimony
against Adams. She now makes affidavit
that the testimony that she gave at that
time was incorrect, and that had she not
been frightened that she would have given
different testimony. She is. now living
with Adams and family reconciliation
has occurred and Mrs. Adams swears now
that her testimony at thetime of the trial
was false. Mrs. Adams testimony was
material at the time of the trial.
Other afidavits have been presented
relative to Columbia correspon-
dence News and Courier.
