AS TO "LAND GREED"

The Walterboro newspapers appear
to be somewhat exercised over our
paragraph in reference to the citizens
of Warren and Broxton townships
wanting to vote themselves into Bam-
berg county, and seem very much
surprised that they had not heard OF
Il. The Colletop News need not be
surprised that the voters of these
townships have failed to consult its
editor and get his permission to "ag-
tate the matter, for he has not been
lin the county long enough to become
citizen. Even if he had been, it is
not likely that he would have been
consulted. But the matter is being
<tagitated'' by the people of the town
ships named, and the movement did
not originate in Bamberg. Whether
It amounts to anything or not, or
will be carried forward to the point
of holding an election, we are not
prepared to say, but we have heard
the matter talked of for some
months. 1t is not land greed on our
part, neighbor. Don't be in such a
hurry to attribute such things to US.
Those people will better their con-
dition by coming into Bamberg. We
are willing to compare records with
Colleton along any line, natural re-
sources or otherwise. We believe
Bamberg has better roads, better
schools, and a lower tax rate than
Colleton, and it is not surprising that
people from other counties want to
come within our borders.
But don't worry yourself. When
the people of that section get ready
to take any action in the matter they
will not tax your brain with asking
advice or suggestions as to what they
must or must not do, and again we
say if they want to come into Bam-
berg they will be cordially welcomed.

SLAIN BY WOMAN.
Capt. j. Clayton Erb's Sister-in-La"
Admits She Did the Shooting.


Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The killing
at his country home near here last
night of Capt. J. Clayton Erb, trust
ed lieutenant and confidential man
of Israel w. Durham, former leader
of the local Republican organization
has caused sensation. Capt. Ern
was shot dead by his sister-in-law
Mrs. Katherine Beisel, during a quar-
rel over domestic affairs. He was
extremely we'll known in all walks
of life in this city and had many
friends throughout the State.
While Mrs. Beisel has admitted
the killing, she has thus far failed
to supply certain details of the trag-
edy.
According to Mrs Beisel, she
heard an exchange of angry words
on the second floor and, on going up
stairs found Erb beating his wife
According to her story, as related
to the officials, Erb turned. from his
wife and started to attack her and
fearing for her life, she pointed re-
volver at him and fired. She emptied
every bullet of the chamber into
Erb's body and he staggered and fell
in his tracks.
Eugene Poulson, a colored coach
man, recently indicted at the in
stance of Mrs. Erb for threatened as
sault, was the first to spread the
alarm when the shooting was discov-
cred. According to his story he was
sleeping in the coachman's house
when Mrs. Beisel aroused him by
crying out: capt. Erb has been
shot" Poulson ran to a nearby vii
lage and at midnight aroused the Of
ficials and hurried them back to the
scene of the tragedy.
"Clayt" Erb, as he was Familiarity
known, had been a prominent figure
in Republican political affairs of this
county and state since the ascendency
of his friend, Durham.

NOTES OF THE GAME,

Wilder struck the side out in the second inning. The Bisbee batters didn't come within two feet of some of his curves.
 Wolfe and Wilder each had scream ing three baggers.
 In the last of the seventh Wolfe and Swalm pulled off a double steal, Swalm moving up from second to third and Wolfe from first to second, while Bos- well was dreaming. The Douglas base runners were almost to third and sec ond before he woke up. It pleased the crowd.
 Raymond is a graceful player at short. His fielding is clean, and he whips the ball to first from almost any position. He made several fine stops and throws, getting ground balls over second on two occasions.
 Edmonds played a great game at first, and batted well Salm made a catch toward the latter part of the game. He came tearing on a short fly ball to left field and got the ball iD his gloved hand at his shoe faces. It was as pretty bit of fielding as one would see on any diamond.
 The new players are wide awake at all stages of the game. On the uases they take advantage of every opportun- ity and their fielding is marked with the tags of professional playing.

FELL
 HARD BEFORE
 DOUGLAS MEN
Eight To Nothing Was the Final Score When the Last Man Was Out at the End of the Ninth Inning of the Game.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 29.-(Special. )-
 Douglas easily shut Bisbee out at Sportsman park on Sunday. The big copper camp team was outclassei by the Douglas nine. There was never a time when the Shelter City home plate was seriously threatened. Wilder and Wolfe could have beaten them alone. But the other Douglas players gave the fans a sample of baseball that pleased. The score was to 0. When Bisbee needed hit with runners on the bases Wilder frightened up and there was nothing doing. When Douglas needed a hit one of the home boys would step up to the plate and usually the bases were cleared. The all round playing of the Douglas team gives the fans confidence that they will hold their own with anything in the ter. ritory.
 The games with Cananea next Sat urday and Sunday will undoubtedly bring out big crowd, for the Sonora team has the goods and put up two great games.

DANIEL eueeENHEIM ON coppsn

So much interest has been aroouseu by the qutations printed here III tale East from an interview regarding the copper situation given out by Daniel Guggenheim in Salt Lake a few days ago. We have secured the interview in Iull and reprint it as follows:
 Men who undertake to corner cop per- said Mir. Guggenheim, "are usual ly able to buy from 10O, 900 to 150,00U tons of copper They are unable to buy more because the banks refuse to finance their undertaking beyond that point because they are unwilling to lock up too much capital.
 When the men who are trying to corner the market succeed in advanc- ing the price to 20 cents t-e producers of metal realize that artificial methods have been adopted and that there may Dc drop. For that reason they lose no time in disposing of their reserve supplies of copper. Then the price falls and up goes the syndicate.
 As the producers of copper of the country, under normal conditions, have rom 100000 to 500.000 tons of copper in reserve, it can be understood why the cmbination to control the market falls down.
 Copper is now strong statistically be- cause the producers have disposeu os .heir reserve supplies of the metal When the price of copper was high they sold the metal they had on hand and are now endeavoring to gather new reserve supplies At present, so far ss copper held in reserve py rns producers is concerned, the quantity Is practically nil.

DEAL FAILURE
 MAKES LUNAT|C
 0F FPROSPECTOR
Sam Hampston of Douglas Thinks He Has Been the Victim of Wrong and Seeks to Kill An Imaginary Enemy.

PATAGONIA, Ar.z.. sept. 29.-Wed- nesday morning Sam Hampston, a prospector well known in this section was taken to Phoenix for treatment at the territorial hospitai for insane per sons Worrying over a mining deal involving the Ed Cloud mine, which he owns, caused Hampston's trouble. Some time ago he made deal with c. H. Ferry, a millionaire mining man of New York. for the development of the Red Cloud property. Machinery was purchased and hauled out to the mine, about six miles from Patagonia, and preparations made for develop ment work at the property. when some disagreement occurred. The disagreement appears to have been between Hampston and w. E. Balcom, agent for Mr. Fiery, Rampston refus- ing to let Balcom take charge of the property. Since the hauling of the machinery to the mine there has been nothing done, the machinery not hay ing been set up. Since the machinery was hauled out to the mine several months ago, Hampston has been alone at the place most of the time, and constant breeding over the difficulty has unbalanced his mind. Recently he has been suspicious of everybody, would trust nobody and imagined there was a detective following him about and listening whenever he talk ed to anyone Of the deal that was pending.
 Last Wednesday morning, while talking with Patt R. Sullivan, Hamps- ton became possessed with the idea that there was a man in the room adjoining Sullivan's. listening to the conversation. Thurscay morning he returned to SulliYan's room and wanted to know who was in that other room. When told that 1t was Frank

As he wnirled around G and Twelfth, his buggy struck a hyurant and he was thrown about thirty feet into the road. Luckily, he was not seriously injured. His buggy was pret- ty badly knocked to pieces and the horses were later caught in the north ern end of town with very little har- ness left.
