always labor, regardless of whom it

Robbed and Killed.

Sarah Williams, colored woman
living on Mr.. Charley Hartzog's
place, about mile and half from
Blackville, was brutally assaulted
and robbed on her way home from
Blackville Monday night. She was
walking on the railway track when
she was attacked. The robbers chok-
ed her into insensibility and then
crushed her skull and robbed her of
about $50. The woman was employ
ed by the Southern railway to clean
the switch lamps and had just been
paid off. She regained consciousness
after being robbed and went to the
yard of a negro living nearby, but
fell in the yard before she could get
to the house, her groans attracted
attention and she was discovered in
a dying condition. Coroner Warner
held an inquest over her bohy on
Tuesday and as result of the IN
formation gotten out of witnesses,
Jim Fouse and Ike Collins are under
arrest for murder. .-Barnwell Sentl-

Drunkenness in Bamberg.

Wednesday of last week the Bam-
berg correspondent of the Columbia
State published the following article
in that paper. We republish it as
many of our subscribers do not see
The State: ......
.BAMBERG, March 26.-There was
more drunkenness on the streets of
Bamberg Saturday than in many a
day. The dispensary was reopened
Friday and it appeared that nearly
every negro had a pint and some had
as much as two quarts. .
The contrast of that day with the
the Saturdays on which the shop was
closed leads many to the conclusion
that prohibition does prohibit to a
marked degree. blind tigers and jug
trade to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Another marked result of the
dispensary being reopened and the
fact that the location of the shop has
been changed to one Of the most
public places in the town was that
the main business section was so
crowded with drinking men that a
lady could, hardly have walked along
the street without an escort without
being jostled. The calaboose was
we'll filled.
Rev. Peter Stokes reiterated the
statements from the pulpit Sunday
morning which he made in the pray
er meeting services last Wednesday
night. He is working hard to de-
velop a public sentiment so strong
that it will result in at leart remov-
ing the shop from under the noses
of ladies and school children. He
stated in no uncertain tones the con-
ditions which exist and the fact that
he was given a strong grasp of the
hand by some of the best business
men, and that he was given hearty
''amen" during the sermon by lay
men, something which has not been
heard here in many years, were
some of the outward evidences that
his fight is meeting with success.
Not only did Mr.. Stokes state the
liquor question very positively but
he made reference to the gambling
habit in which reference was made
to some of the most prominent men
in Bamberg. Mr.. Stokes has the
sympathy of the best people in his
fight, and the mayoralty campaign
will no doubt be Influenced greatly
by the sentiment.

Poker playing was discouraged and
a number of lumbermen in camp re-
ceived a shock when a bobcat leaped
through the glass Of closed window
and alighted in the middle Of group
intent upon a game Of draw poker.
The light probably attracted the ami
NAL. The men, five in number, were
seated about round table engrossed
in winning a jack pot containing the
unprecedented wealth of 81 cents. A
chopper known by his companions as
"Seedy Bnl'' held three tens and had
raised Sandy Small, who held three

three had dropped out and were watch

NEGRO IN YOUNG LADY'S ROOM.
Orangeburg Home Entered and Two
NEGROES are Arrested.

ORANGEBURG, March 30-Two ne
groes were arrested and lodged IN
the guard house this morning on
suspicion of having entered a young
lady's room in this city, about 4
o'clock this morning. At that hour
a prominent home of this city was
entered by a negro, and while noth-
ing was attempted it is supposed
that the purpose of the invader was
robbery. The gentleman of the
house wired for some bloodhounds
from the State penitentiary and they
were brought here by one of the
penitentiary guards from that place
this morning. The police depart
ment of the city took the matter in
charge and after Investigating it
sufficient circumstantial evidence was
obtained to have two negroes arrest
ed on suspicion and placed in the
city guard house until further devel-
opments. Nothing was gained by
the use of the hounds, but from
other facts it is believed that one Of
the negroes held is the right one and
the other one is supposed to have as
sisted in planning this invasion and
had a knowledge of the purpose.
From information obtained it ap-
pears that the two negroes had pre-
viously discussed the matter and had
a common purpose in entering the
room. No confessions of guilt have
been obtained so far and it may be
several days before anything definite
will be known.
The facts in the case are simply
these: A young lady of a highly re-
spected and prominent family OF. this
city was awakened this morning at
about 4 o'clock by a negro in her
room. The negro fled before he was
recognized and as far as The News
and Courier's correspondent was able
to learn nothing was lost from the
room. The two negroes who are
being held on suspicion had been
working around the premises. One
of them was a regular employe OF
the gentleman of the house and the
other one has been doing some car
penter work there for the past few
days. Nothing more definite can be
given out at present concerning the
situation.
