IEFT.HANDED COMPLIMENT.

The Bamberg Herald, in quoting
what the Observer said about the
Illinois lynchers of the negro William
James, says:
I'VE are a little surprised, but
none the less pleased, to have the
ahve the above expression from edi-
tor of The Observer. Every white
man who Is the right sort of man
thinks Of the lynching just as Editor
Wallace"
If The Herald was surprised at this
editors expression On the subject,
what sort of a man did he think the
editor was-up to that time?
Anyway, We count ourself fortu-
nate In having won the good opinion
Of The Herald and being classed-
after his surprise is over-with the
right sort" of white men.
Thanks.-Newberry Observer.
Our surprise was not that the OBJ
server editor should have the opin-
ion he had in reference to the Illinois
lynchers, but that he should give ex-
preston to it. Many of us often
think things we do not say. We do
often. Some times we are deferred
from commencing mob law fol
fear Of the effect it might have on
mobs in future, or rather for fear
such an utterance might have a ten
dency to create disrespect for all law
And we imagi. : the editor of the
Observer some times feels the same
way. But our friend is 'all right,
both before and after,' any time
and all the time.

Those Methodists over in Augusta
who refused to accept the preacher
sent them by the annual conference
certainly are to be commended. A
preacher who has been guilty of
drunkenness has no business preach

not known, but the Augusta board of
stewards did exactly right.

THE HUGHES CASE.

In recent issue of The State there
appeared criticism of the action Of
the Bamberg jury that convicted the
negro, Hughes, for killing Clerk OF
Court Causey, and the remarkable
assertion that had he been white
man the jury would not have con-
victed him. We could not but call
attention to the fact that this un-
warranted assertion and unjust criti-
cism of the action Of jury Of this
county, together with continued ef-
forts on the part of The State to
make martyrs out Of mean negroes
who violated the laws of the land,
was peculiar when coming from the
pen of a white man. The State re-
plies in a long editorial which but
reiterates it's previous unwarranted
statements and gives additional evil
dence of the correctness of our COM
ments. We have always advocated
fair. treatment for the negro, in and
out of the court house, but have
never and will never adopt the dan
gerous policy of The State of making
martyrs out of negro criminals.
The State in justification of it's
statement that if Hughes had been
a white man that he would not have
been convicted says: THAT the
Bamberg jury did not believe
the testimony of the white wit
nesses for the State is evil
denced by their recommending to
mercy" Think of it! That the jury
did not believe the witnesses for tile
State, but regardless of this, con-
victed the defendant, when they were
sworn to give him fair trial and
when upon their voir dire they had
sworn to acquit him if they believed
him innocent 1t will be informa-
ton to the members of that jury that
The State believes them capable of
having so violated their oaths. And
upon what does The State base it's
remarkable opinion? Upon the testi-
mony for the defendant, absolutely
ignoring the testimony for the State.
It says that Sheppard testified for the
State but his interest lay in the line
of his testimony" Well where did
Hughes's interest lay? But says The
State, the negro's testimony was sup
ported by the testimony of the ply
sician who swore to wounds on the
negros body. What physician swore
to wounds on Hughes's body? The
physician at the penitentiary who
said that after being sent there he
examined Hughes and found an erup-
tion on his back in an old sore or
burn, where Hughes said he was
struck, but that it could have been
caused by any laceration of the old
sore in the opinion of the doctor.
The negro was examined by DR..
Cleckley, who declared he was suf-
fering from loathsome disease, and
the eruption was caused from that,
and the eruption was on his legs as
well as on his back where he claimed
he was struck The jury saw the
body and could tell that there was
not a word Of truth that blow on
the back caused the eruption all over
his back and legs. There was testi-
mony OF a physician who treated him
for his loathsome disease before the
homicide. Hughes did not claim to

The Seaboard Air Line has offered
4 reward of $500 for the apprehen-
sion OF the parties who wrecked the
train near Denmark last week. Some
interest in this matter should be
taken by the peace officers Of this
county 1t is pretty bad record
for a county to have two trains
wrecked and white man murdered
In the same community during six
months and nothing done about it..
What is the matter with our officers?
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-12-02

The Seaboard Air Line officials
are somewhat indignant, so we are
informed, because the county au-
thorities have given them no assist
ance in the matter of attempting to
ferret out the parties who wrecked
their trains. The company now has
several Pinkerton detectives on the
case, at considerable expense to the
railroad, and, so far as we have been
able to find out, no peace officer of
the county has given any assistance.
The Seaboard Air Line pays taxes
to the county just like the individual
and us entitled to the protection of
its property and the lives of the
passengers committed to it's care, as
far as is possible

fence and honestly deal with both
races has lost it's balance and fallen
over on the negro side, to the great
harm Of the criminal negro who will
be led into the false belief that he is
a martyr and that just because he is
a negro, one of an inferior race, that
white jury should not punish him
but should condone his crimes. We
believe there should be no distinction,
that the black man as well as the
white man should be punished when
guilty, and only when guilty. and we
believe further that jury OF Bam-
berg county, composed Of intelligent
men, possessing as much character
as the editor of The State, having be-
fore them all the testimony in case
and the opportunity Of observing the
faces and demeanor of witnesses, and
the charge of an honest Judge, are
more capable of arriving at correct
conclusion than is the editor of The
State who is in his Office IN Colum-
bia and has none OF these opportuni-
ties, and we believe that when The
State under such circumstances criti-
cises the courts, that it's policy is
calculated to lessen respect for the
courts, discourage good men from
serving on a jury and thus subjecting
themselves to criticism if they fail
to do what The State would have
them do, and in general calculated
to do much harm and no good.

GIVEN A TIN SHOWER.
Maurice J. Buckley Remembered by
 His Many Friends.

A surprise party that will take rank among the unique events of that kind in this city, and, in fact, in, a much wider territory, was carried out Fri day night by the inventive genius of a party of 20 Of the men friends of Maurice J. Buckley, the well-known clerk in the postoffice. MT. Buckley is soon to claim as a bride one of the charming young ladies of Worcester. so that his friends wished to celebrate the coming event. For brides to be, it is well known that showers are the right and proper thing, but why not for the coming groom, said the inven- tive twenty. No sooner said than done, so that this surprise was a tin shower.
 Having met at house in the neigh- borhood, the party found Mir. Buckley at the home of his brother, Henry D.. Buckley, at No. "A Hobart avenue. where they completely surprised him and presented their gifts, ranging from coal scutteI down to many smaller articles. The evening was pleasantly spent in a jolly social way, and when they left at late hour MT. Buckley had hardly yet recovered from the surprise of the first shower on record to the man in a coming we'd ding.

There was meeting of the board of school visitors on Friday evening at city hall for the purpose of perfect ing their organization for the year. Eight of the nine members were in at tendance and Frederic H. Cranston was made chairman and Frank T. Naples clerk and acting school visitor for the ensuing year, the same as last year. Dr. Brophy was a candidate for acting visitor and received three of the five votes. It was voted that there should be one or more night schools and that the acting visitor should have charge. The same examining board was chosen -Messrs. Naples, Brophy and Gran ston.

It will be 64x63, with the entrance in the center and a basement will contain room for the heater as we'll as a large room which can be used for many purposes. There will be three rooms on each of the two floors and the building will be the equal of any in the city. It will be of wood and cost about $14,000. It will have closets. toilets, metal ceilings, water and sewers. There will be telephones in each room, two exits on the second floor and three on the first floor.
 There was a meeting of the board with the board of selectmen later at which time the appropriations which were considered for the various dis tricts in the spring were ratified In the Occum district the sum of $2,000 was voted and in the Taftville district the amount was increased to nearly S11, 900, otherwise the amounts were the same as apportioned in the spring.

GENEROUS OFFER
The Lee & ossood Go. Guarantees
 Parisian Sage to Cure Dandruff,
 Stop Falling Hair or Itching Scalp ,, or Money Back.


 But Parisian Sage is more than a cure for dandruf-it will make hair grow on any head where the hair bulb is not altogether dead.
 And We want every reader of The Bulletin to know that Parisian Sage is the most delightful hair dressing in the world. It Is so pleasant to use, and it's effect is SO fnvigorating and re- freshing, that 1t pieases everybody.
 The women of Paris are, as a rule, beautiful and keep beautiful. and a careful American observer who has travelled much claims that their beauty is due to their knowledge of how to keep their hair luxuriant, which they do by using superior hair tonic
 Many American women are as wise as their French sisters, and that is why Parisian Sage, the quick acting and greatest of all hair restorers and tonics, is now having such tremen- dous sale in America.
 Mothers who want their children to grow up with vigorous and ltistrous hair should surely use Parisian Sage.
 Pardslsn Sage is sold by leading druggists. everywhere and fin Norwich by The Lee & Osgood Co. at 60 cents a large bottle. Mail orders filled; all charges prepaid by the American mak- CTS. Giroux Mfg. Co.,, Burfalo. \. Y.

DECISIVE TOUCHES.

Many of the decisive touches for the production of A Summer Carnival in the theater by St. Mary's T. A. and B. society were put on Friday night at a large rehearsal fin the hall, when Pro- lessor Kennedy had practically the en- tire programme of dance and song numbers, solos and choruses gone through with. This followed a number of weeks of individual drilling and re- hearsals in squads, as well as several theater rehearsals, and it was shown that the amateurs had made profitable use of their lessons, as they displayed a commendable amount of the stage craft absorbed from their teacher. With another theater rehearsal to come and dress rehearsal the promoters are promising an amateur production of the first rank by the Norwich talent that has been enrolled. The electric light effects for the production have been secured from Boston by Mana ger McNulty of the Breed theater and are now at the railroad station await ing transportation to the theater.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS
 INSPECT STATIONS.
With Chief Stanton They Make Rounds After Midnight, Sending in Alarms at the Houses-Very Satis- factory Results.

After midnight Friday night. the fire commissioners, Alderman Ely and Councilmen Hopkins and Blackledge, with Chief Stanton started out in Alderman Ely's automobile. to make their annual inspection of the fire sta tions in the center of the city and found the flremen on their job in ev- evry instance. The inspection proved more satisfactory than last year in every particular. and in no case were the commissioners seen until after the hitches had been made. They started at the Falls and from there went to the West Side, Main street, and ended at the Central station. While the commissioners were either looking in through the windows or were secreted in a doorway as at the Central station, Chief Stanton pulled in an alarm, which sounded only on the house bell, it being a call in the stations district. It was only mat ter of seconds before the firemen were sliding down the poles and the hitches had been made ready for a run. The commissioners and the chief expressed themselves as very much pleased with the inspection and are satisfied that none better can be found anywhere. Cigars were passed about among the men, none of whom was wise to what was happening. and inasmuch as the visit was unexpected the work was all the more creditable. The visit occu- pied about an hour.
