PENKNIFE IN SILK LINING.
Woman Badly Cut by Peculiar Acct
dent While on Car.

New York, Dec. 26.-Mrs Freder-
ick E. Belcher, wife of the secretary
of a music publishing company, of
this city, was seriously injured while
seated in a subway train last night
in one of the most peculiar accidents
on record.
Mrs. Belcher was seated by her
husband when she screamed sudden
ly and grasped her left leg. AS pas
sengers started, she cried family: Il
am bleeding; it is in my coat" Then
she tainted. When the train reached
the station the unconscious woman
was carried to a bench on the plat
form, leaving trail of blood behind
her.
Mr.. Belcher, frightened and mysti-
fed as to the cause Of the accident,
bent over his wife and found six
inch cut in the calf of the leg. Band
aging the wound hastily he sum-
moned a physician, but before the
doctor arrived the wound continued
to bleed so freely that a policeman
found it necessary to take his night
stick by means of which he hastily
improvised tourniquet.
Examination of Mrs. Belcher's
coat in the meantime revealed the
point of a sharp penknife sticking
through the silk lining. 1t is sup.
posed that some one who had hand

The editor of this paper is not
very familiar with the facts in the
case of Elliott Jones, who was con.
victed in this county of hog stealing
and sentenced TO Imprisonment OF
one year, buts we feel that the
statements contained in the article
taken from the Columbia CORE
spondence of the News and Courier
are not at all justified. In the first
place, we know the prosecutor in
this case, have known him for q
number of years, and we know that
he would not Cypress anybody. The
article mentioned is not only re-
f1ection upon the prosecutor, but
upon the jury which convicted
Jones, and Bamberg juries are not
in the habit Of convicting innocent
men. We also think Solicitor Davis
should have expressed his opinion
and did his Investigating little
earlier. The case was tried about two
years ago, and he is just now finding
out that Jones was innocent. This
newspaper does not stand for op-
preston in any sense, but we do
protest against a publication which
we must believe does prosecutor and
jury grave injustice.

Bewildering Relationships.

Washington, Pa, Dec. 27.-Be-
wildering relationships among men,
bers of two East Finley township
families have resulted from the mar
riages of father and his two sons
and a widow and her two daughters.
The three ceremonies were cele-
brated within the last two months.
Henry Dillinger, an aged farmer
whose second wife died nearly a year
ago, engaged Mrs. Maria Richmond
as his housekeeper. It was agreed
that two daughters of Mrs. Rich
mond, Lucy, aged 16, and Jennie,
aged 10, should live in the Dillinger
home with the father and his two
sons, Charles and David. After a
time the aged father married Lucy
Richmond and the two families con-
tinued to occupy the same house. A
few weeks after the first marriage
Mrs. Richmond became the wife OF
David Dillinger, the elder son. Jen-
ME Richmond and Charles Dillinger
were next stricken with the matri-
monial fever and were married last
week.
The three families now live in the
East Finley township home OF the
elder Dillinger, all apparently happy
and contented.

KNIFE DUEL IN LEXINGTON.
Two Men Try to Dissect Each Other
on Christmas Day.

Lexington, Dec. 27.-As a result
of too much Christmas whiskey 9
white man, named Mcdonald, lies at
his home at Saxe-Gotha Mills, with
four serious cuts on his body, while
Godfrey Kelly, another white man, is
carrying several slight knife wounds.
From what can be learned Of the
affair it seems that Mcdonald went
to the home Of Kelly, for the purpose
80 Mcdonald says, of buying some
pork from Kelly, who had just
butchered the day before. Mcdonald
claims that he purchased a ham from
Kelly, paid him for it and started for
home, when Kelly attacked him with
knife and demanded that he leave
his purchase behind. A dispute arose
between the two and Mcdonald drew
his knife and cut Kelly. Kelly claims
that he was lying down, partly
asleep, when Mcdonald proceeded to
walk of with his meat. Some one
called his attention to the fact, when
he arose from his slumbers and made
the attack on Mcdonald.
Mcdonald has four wounds-one
in the breast, one under each arm
and one in the back. DR.. Derrick was
called in to attend him a few hours
after the trouble and he is doing as
well as could be expected. The trou-
BILE occurred on Christmas day.

INQUEST HELD IN CLARENDON.
Coroner Investigates Killing of Wo.
man by Her Brother.

Manning, Dec. 27.-Coroner To-
bias held an inquest to-day over the
dead body of Mrs. Mamie Boseman,
who was shot yesterday afternoon by
her brother, Frank Driggers, on Maj.
". T. Lesesnes place, about three
miles west of Manning. The evl-
dence aduced went to show that Mrs.
Boseman and her husband, who lived
at Alcolu, had spent the day at her
brothers, having been invited to
dine there. During the day there
was some quarreling between the
brother and sister about horse she
had sold him about year ago, and
on which she held a mortgage. 1t
was said that Driggers struck his
sister, knocking her to the floor, and
that her husband took her to their
wagon and started for home to get
her away from her infuriated broth
er. Thereupon Driggers called to
his daughter to load his gun and
bring it to him, and when he found
that she had put blank shells in the
gun he made her 60 back for loaded
Shells. By that time Boseman and
his wife had got about two hundred
Yards from the house when their
horse baked, which allowed Orig
gers to catch up with them. When
he got within about twenty steps OF
them, and just as Mrs. Boseman
looked back over her shoulder to-
wards him, Driggers fred the gun,
the load of No. 3 shot lodging In her
shoulder, neck and side Of her head.
The woman lived about two hours
after being shot.
The coroner's jury returned a sim
pie verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to her death from a
gunshot wound at the hands OF
Frank Driggers. Driggers came into
Manning about 8 o'clock last night
and surrendered to Sheriff Gamble
and was at once locked up He told
the sheriff that the shooting was &C
cidental; that he and his sister were
playing with the gun when it was
discharged.

The Bamberg Herald has no rea-
son to feel bad over the results of
the past year. We have made
greater progress during this year
than ever before, and we feel CRATE
full to all our friends who have pat
ronized us and made The Bamberg
Herald of to-day. Think Of the Diff
ference in the paper and the Office
now and when we took charge sew
eral years ago, and you will realize
that we have much cause for feeling
that we have not in some measure
labored in vain. The merchants OF
Bamberg are doing three or four
times as much advertising as they
did a few years ago, and we believe
they are going to get still more in
favor of advertising as permanent
investment which pays well. A hap
py and prosperous new year to all!

STILL A BABY AT %
Thyroid Extract at Last Starts Men
taI and PHYSICAL Growth.

luyTOlu at 1dSG OCC1I ISAOA-
tai and Physical Growth.
London, Dec. 24.-The expert
ment of treating with thyroid ex-
tract a girl physically and mentally
undeveloped has had remarkable
success. The patient, Mildred Hart,
although % years old, had the de-
velopment of child of only years,
and was 33 inches tall. Her teeth
were the same as a child's, her skin
cold and harsh and her features were
undeveloped.
The soft spot on the top of a
baby's head could be felt on hers.
She had no appetite and was mental
ly unobservant.
This continued to October last. A
physician then diagnosing the ab-
sence of the thyroid secretion took
charge of the case. He administered
|121h grains of extract of the thyroid
glands daily. The patient has now
grown 27a inches. Her skin is moist
and warm, her face is considerably
developed and she has cut several
new teeth. She is constantly hun

ever, is in her mental condition. She

HOMICIDE IN CHEROKEE.
Negro Shot and Killed by Watty Lin
der.

Gaffney, Dec 26.-The only homi-
eide thus far reported in Cherokee
during the holidays occurred late
Thursday night about 10 miles from
Gaffney. John Fernandez, a negro,
was shot and killed by Watty Linder.
The shooting was done at the home
of the dead negro in the northwest
section of Cherokee county. An in
quest was held yesterday, the coro-
ner finding that Fernandez came to
his death at the hands of Watty Lin
der. Linder is the son of John Lin
der, prominent and highly respect
ed Cherokee planter. The testimony
at the inquest failed to account for
any motive that Linder could have
had for killing Fernandez.
A party of white men and negroes
had congregated at Fernandez's
house and were celebrating the ar
rival of Christmas eve. They were
conducting the celebration by pick
ing the banjo, drinking whiskey,
and shooting their shotguns, which
they had brought for that purpose.
This custom is known in that part OF
the country as shooting Christmas
guns" They had all been firing
their guns into the ground and evi-
dences of this could be seen by the
coroner's jury. At the time of the
killing the entire party had become
intoxicated, it is said.
No clear idea was secured by the
coroner's jury other than that the
dead negro was shot by Linder.
There was no ill-feeling between the
two. It was said by negroes who
were on the spot, although the fact
that they were intoxicated may prove
that it is not true, that the negro was
shot because he objected to drinking
from a cup. He became Ill during
the festivities of the evening and
another negro carried him out a cup
filled with water. He is said to have
objected to the water being in cup,
|inquiring if he wasn't good enough
to drink out of the dipper. This, ac-
cording to the report, angered Lin
der and the killing followed.

NEGRO ATTACKED YOUNG LADY
Who Found Him Hiding on Her
House Porch.

Athens, Ca, Dec. 24.-To-night
about 8 o'clock a negro man attempt
ed to enter the rear door Of Mr.. A.
P. Bearings residence with the evi-
dent intention of theft. 1t so hap
pened that just at the same time
Miss Katie Dearing, the young
daughter of Mr.. Dearing, opened the
back door to go out upon the porch
to get a drink Of water, and ran
right over the negro.
He perceived that he had been de-
tected and seized the young lady by
the throat. She screamed and her
father came at once to her rescue.
The negro ran just as Mr.. Dearing
came upon the scene and made good
his escape. The police believe they
have clues that may lead to the ar
rest of the criminal.

Spectacular Auto Accident.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 27.-A
most spectacular accident occurred
in a race at Ascot park yesterday,
when the tire of a racing automobile
broke on a curve, while Gus Seyfried
of San Francisco, was driving at
more than mile minute, the car
turning three complete somersaults
in the air, a ball of fame, and land
ing wrecked in the center of the
track, where it was consumed by the
flames. Seyfried was thrown out
with terrific force, but he fell clear
of the machine and sustained only
cuts and bruises.

New Home for the Veterans.

The home for the Confederate vet
Grams is now nearing completion and
it is expected that it will be ready
for occupancy by the first of March.
When completed the building will be
furnished suitably and appropriate
ly and will be quite a cozy home Tor
the old soldiers.
The new structure is located near
the Hyatt Park road, within easy
reach of two car lines, the Hyatt
Park line and the Colonial Heights
line, being about Y miles from the
center of the city. It will require
about all of the $4,000 appropriate
ed by the legislature to complete the
| building, which will be very impos-
ing structure.
The commission in charge is COM
posed of Col. D. Cardwell, of Colum-
bia, Capt J. H. Brooks, Ninety-Six;
Col. J. W. Reed, Chester; Maj. N: B.
Cantey, Camden, and Gen. M. IL.
Bonham, Anderson. The last named
was recently appointed by Gov. An
sci to fill the vacancy created by the
death of the lamented J. @. Marshall,
of this city.
There has been some misunder-
standing on the part of the veterans
and the general public as we'll, as to
the exact function of the institution.
Many have been of the opinion that
veterans will have to leave their
families, give up their pensions and
surrender q considerable portion Of
their personal liberty to secure ad-
mittance.
As matter of fact. the number Of
inmates will be limited, for some
time to 81, the act providing for the
admission of but two veterans from
each of the AZ counties for the pres
ent.
The place will be in the nature of
an infrmary and ''home boarding
house." where the veterans will find
their every need looked after care
fully. They will be treated hand
somely and allowed every proper lib
erty, just as if they were at home.
One of the attractive features will
be a cozy, we'll lighted library and
reading room.
The home is primarily for vet
erans who are without relatives will
ing and able to care for them prop
erly and who lack private means
wherewith to provide for themselves.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS LIST.
Has More Towns Containing Govern
ment Buildings Than Any Other
Southern State.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The eff
cheney and general worth of South
Carolina's representatives in con-
gress were never shown to better ad-
vantage than in statement recent
ly issued by j. Knox Taylor, super
vising architect of the treasury. This
statement shows the amount of gov.
ernment investments in public build
ings all over the United States, eth
er where the buildings have been
completed or authorizations made
for them by congress. The result is
the same, however, so far as the
work of the congressman is concern.
ed, and indicates in the highest
measure the fact that the South Car.
olina representatives have been fully
abreast of the times in securing ap-
preparations for buildings of this
character
This statement shows that South
Carolina now has invested in public
buildings, mostly postofice buildings
a total of almost $5,000,000 scatter
ed all over the State, as will be
shown by the following figures. These
figures do not purport to indicate
exactly the accurate amounts put in
the different buildings up to this
time, but approximately what has
been expended and what will be ex-
pended when the new ones authoriz-
ed by congress last year are built:
Abbeville, s50,O00; Aiken, $780,
900; Anderson, $4,000; Charleston,
custom house, s2,696,592.24; Char
lesion postoffice, s407,5O0; Chester,
$4,000; Columbia postoffice, s407,-
900; Darlington, $4,000; Florence,
100000; Gaffney, s50,000; George
town, $55,000; Greenville, $780,
900; Greenwood, $4,000; Laurens,
$4,000; Newberry, s50,000; Or
angeburg, $4,000; Rock Hill, s40,-
900; Spartanburg, $4,000; Sumter,
$4,000; Union, $50,000.
1t is not believed that any other
State in the South can show as many
towns with government buildings as
South Carolina within the next two
or three years, for the reason that,
in addition to those already built or
authorized, more will undoubtedly
be asked for when congress passes
another public building bill next
year.

His Glass Eye Shattered.

Bayonne, N. j., Dec. 2S.-H1s
right eye shot out year ago by a
companion who handled an air rifle
carelessly, William Walsh, a 14-year-
old boy, was injured in exactly the
same manner this Christmas.
He was fortunate, however, to
have the bullet strike his glass eye
which replaced the one knocked out
last year.
While the lad still has one good
eye, he suffers much as result OF
the splintered glass which lodged in
the socket when his artificial eye was
broken. He is at present in a hos
pital.
