Help the Editor.

Every newspaper wants to publish
the news. The better the paper the
more prosperous it will be. Local
news items are especially hard to run
down. How many times have you.
dear reader, been approached by the
newspaper man for an item Of news
and told him that you knew nothing
of interest. Probably at the time
your family were away on a visit or
some one from out of town was visit
ing at your home. Of course you
didn't mean to deceive the scribe, yet
when you received your paper you
wondered, why your family or friends
were not mentioned. A good way to
avoid all of this is to kindly inform us
of the facts or drop a note in the post
office to the paper. The one item may
not amount to much, but several COL
umns of such news is the, life of a
local paper.

Negro browns Himself.

Last Saturday morning negro
named Willie Glover, about thirty
years old, was arrested here by Con-
stable w. M. McCue. The charge
against him was obtaining goods un-
der false pretenses. Glover had been
working at the cotton mill, and he
had given several merchants orders
on the mill, saying he had money to
his credit. This proved incorrect,
hence his arrest.
While in a store with the con-
stable, Glover made a break for
liberty. and ran down Main street
towards the power house of the cleo
trio light plant, next to which is To-
Gated the large reservoir of the cot
ton mill. Glover's pursuers were
close behind him, as several had TAX
en- up the chase while going through
Main street, so he jumped the wire
fence which enclosed the reservoir
and called back that he would drown
himself before he would be arrested.
Before he could be reached he plung-
ed in and made no'effort to save him.
self,
A large crowd quickly gathered
and as soon as possible the body was
recovered and efforts made to re-
store life, but to no avail An in
quest was held by Coroner Zeigler
soon afterwards and the jury render
ed a verdict thathe came to his death
as result of his own act.
Glover came from St. Matthews,
and had been in Bamberg about four
years. He married a woman from
near Midway. A collection was TAX
en- up by some Of the colored people
to defray his funeral expenses, and
he was buried at the colored cene-
terry near town. ,
This is one of the most unusual
suicides we ever heard of. The ne
gro was not drinking, and why he
should have preferred drowning to
serving sentence on the chain gang
for thirty or sixty days is inexpli-
cable.
Glover was tried recently for cruel
ty to animals, it being charged that
he beat a mule to death. 1t seems
that Glover owned the animal, which
he had purchased from Mr.. M. l.:
Rowell. He was found guilty, but
sentence had been reserved, pending
the result Of the other charges
against him.

The alimony to be paid to Laura A.
Mckinley by John II. Mckinley, sign
painter was ordered reduced by Judge
Keeler of the columon pleas court in
Cleveland, O., on the plea Of Mckinley
that he had grown too stout to work
at his trade.
The McKinleys are divorced. The
alimony which the husband was or
dered to pay his wife was $25 month.
This amount was based on the supposi-
ton that Mckinley was making about
$10O'a month.
It was shown that Mrs. Mckinley
was deriving an income from her own
work and that Of her children Of SAG
a month. Mckinley himself asserted
that because of his weight he could no
longer get work at the trade he had
followed since boyhood and could do
only common labor at $1.50 day. he
weighs over 200 pounds and cannot
climb ropes to paint signs on walls of
buildings.
Judge Keeler reduced the alimony
from $25 to $12 month.

Hand Mailed to Telegraph Pole.
The little hamlet of Forestville, Nd,
was recently stirred over the discovery
of a human hand nailed to telegraph
pole. The authorities Of Prince
Georges county are unable to tell
whether it is the hand Of a white per-
son or a negro on account Of its de-
composition. 1t was found by Atwtll
Gray while returning from church.
The hand, according to Deputy Sheriff
Suit, who reported the case to the local
police, looked as though 1t had been
chopped of with an az. The third
finger was missing, and the authorities
at Forestville believe the finger was
taken from a woman's hand to obtain
