The Waterworks Question.

About two years ago the citizens
of Bamberg voted bonds of $1,000
for the purpose of waterworks.
These bonds have never been sold,
for the reason that the board Of pub
lie works found, after careful inves-
tigation, that they could not put in
an adequate system for this amount
or one that would satisfy the people
of the town. Therefore they have
never sold the bonds. but have been
discussing the matter at their va
rious meetings and endeavoring to
work something practical out OF
the proposition. =.
In consultation with city council
Tuesday night of last week, it was
found to he the opinion of council
that work should be started on the
system, and the $1,000 used as far
as it would go. This will be done
as soon as the bonds can be sold, and
the matter of disposing of the bonds
is now being looked after. 1t is hop
ed that work will start on the water
works in a month or two, as it is es-
pecially desirable that the excava-
tions for laying the pipe be made
during the winter months.

At last The Bamberg Herald is
running it's linotype and presses IN
the day time. Our generator arrived
Tuesday of last week, and 1t was
set up at the cotton mill and the
power turned on Tuesday morning
of this week. Of course this puts US
in much better position to take care
of all business which comes our way,
and we can now turn out any sort OF
lob on very short notice. Lawyers
who wish briefs in hurry can get
them at this Office. AS a result OF
the day current we are making our
paper eight pages this week, and
we will continue this as long as the
advertising keeps up. In any event,
we will continue to print more live
reading matter than any paper IN
this section, and it will not be ready
print-stuff or plate matter either.
Every line which goes In our paper
is set up in this Office and will con-
tinue to be. This Is big invest
ment for small business-we have
nearly one thousand dollars invested
in our power plant alone-more
than many newspaper offices are
worth all told, and we need and will
appreciate all the business we can
get. Send us your job work, adyer-

Suit Against Southern Railway.

Last Wednesday a suit was filed
against the Southern Railway for
damages in the sum of $4,000 by
Wesley Banks, colored. The cause
of the suit is that Wesley was shot
while guarding the property OF the
railroad.
Our readers will remember that
about a year ago Banks was shot at
the depot in this city by Preston
Brown, another negro, for which
crime Brown is now serving a SEN
tence on the chain gang. Brown had
stolen a box of sausage out OF the
depot and hid it under the building,
expecting to come back for it after
dark. John Minnegan, a negro en-
ployee of the railroad, was on the
watch for Brown to come for the
sausage, but he got so cold he had
to 20 and warm and Banks was en-
ployed to stand guard during Mime
gan's absence. During This tlme
Brown came for the box, and upon
being called on by Banks to halt ne
fired, seriously wounding Banks. :,
In fact, Banks has never been well
man since he was shot. He was Sc
riously i'll for a long time, and even
now he is not strong enough to do
much work. He will probably never
be well again.
The railroad paid him $4,000, but
his expenses because Of the wound
were a great deal more than this
and his incapacity for work led to the
the bringing of the suit. Wesley has
always had the respect of the best
white citizens of the town, and some
months ago they contributed to help
him pay the expenses Of the illness
caused by the wound. The physicians
were very kind to him, especially Dr.
J. J. Cleckley, and they attended him
most faithfully, knowing that he was
not able to pay for their services.
It seems to us that the railroad had
better make settlement of the case
if possible, for, in our opinion, tne
company is clearly liable. Hon. s.
G. Mayfeld and H. M. Graham, Esq.
represent Banks, and brought the
suit.

D. A. KINARD & co.
In our account of the fire last week
we had it that Hon. S. G. Mayfield
had insurance of s400, which was
an error. He did not have cent
and his loss is total. Mr.. Mayfield
was under the impression that he
had s400 insurance, but this amount
was on property belonging to the es'
tate of E. T. LaFitte, Esq. We also
neglected to state that Mrs. K. |
Shuck & Co. moved out their stock
of goods, but the opening was helo
just the same.
A penny pass book was in keeping
with the times when fires were light
ed with flint and punk. The McCas

Both teams are working hard for the
game. The ST. Mary's team is always
a strong team and about two weeks
ago took the Topeka White Sox into
camp by a score Of 8 to 0. Kelly who
pitched against the Cooley tribe will
serve the slants against the Wash
burn team and attempt to duplicate his
feat. The st. Mary's team has made
a remarkable record this season, hav-
ing suffered but one defeat and this
league team.
The two teams have met once be-
fore this season, Washburn losing to
the Catholics by the close score of Z
to 6. Washburn is anxious to retrieve
their lost laurels and will do their best
to administer defeat to the Irish col
legians. The game will start at 8
o'clock and Lonberg will pitch for the
Washburn team. Lonberg is consid-
cred Washburns best pitcher.
