Sunday.school Convention.

The Bamberg and Barnwell Sun
day-school convention met at Healing
Springs on Wednesday, September J.,
and continued in session until Friday
afternoon. There were twenty-eight
schools represented by delegates.
The meeting was the best in the his
tory of the convention. Speeches
were good, to the point, and we'll
prepared.
The success of the meeting was
largely due to the presence of e. S.
Reaves, of Fort Mill, G. E. Cross
land, field secretary of Sunday-school
board, of Nashville, Tenn, and }. u.
Moore, field secretary of own State
board.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the convention was an object
lesson Miss Clara L. Johnston taught
a class of young men, last Sundays
lesson, and kept the entire conVen-
ton intensely interested for thirty
five minutes. Miss Bessie Willis,
although absent, sent in well pre-
pared and interesting paper on, Or
ganized Glasses for Young Women, "
which was well read by ]. D. Moore.
The officers of the convention
were: S. P. Hair, PRESIDENT; I. H.
Hutto and J. A. Jenkins, vice-presl-
dents; w. G. Britton, secretary; and
w. S. Minis, treasurer.
The two banners were won by
Hunters Chapel and Bamberg
schools.
Much credit is due to Healing
Springs for the manner in which they
entertained the convention, certain
ly nothing was lacking. The choir
rendered delightful music.
The next convention goes to Long
Branch, Wednesday before the first
Sunday in September 1910.

Hartsville Has Mammoth Store.

J. L. Coker & Co., of Hartsville,
are putting up the largest depart
ment store building in South Car
olina. The store will be 226 feet
front and will have depth Of $50
feet.
Mr.. B. R. Coker is expected to be
in Columbia tomorrow and Tuesday
for the purpose of awarding con-
tracts for store fixtures for the equip
ment of the building, for fire protec-
ton, heating, electric work, etc., and
will look into the matter of arrang-
ing an ice making plant and refriger-
ator in the building. The store will
have it's own cold storage plant.
Hartsville is a town Of only about
5000 inhabitants, but it affords an
excellent example of what energy
will accomplish. It is one of the
most prosperous manufacturing
towns in the South. Among it's in
dustries are cotton mills, paper mills,
silverware factory, novelty manu-
featuring company where are made
appliances used in most Of the cot
ton factories of this country; a fur
niture factory, cotton oil mill, gin
merry, etc. Columbia firms will no
doubt get some contracts for the fur
nishing of the big new store.-The

Hold Cotton Says Smith.

Laurens, Sept. 6.-United States
Senator E. D. Smith delivered a
speech here today, the occasion being
the monthly meeting of the Laurens
County Farmers Union association.
The meeting was held in the court
house and was attended by a large
number of farmers from every Sec
ton of the county.
Senator Smith came down from
Saluda last night, accompanied by
Mr.. Galloway, his secretary. His
speech aroused much interest, es-
pecially that portion devoted to the
cotton situation. He stated that the
crop was the shortest in Is years
and the indications were that the
yield would be at least 100000
short this year. With this situation
confronting the cotton raiser he felt
that he should advise the holding of
every bale possible until a better
price can be obtained, as is sure to be
the case within a few months.
He discussed at length different ma
tional issues, including the recent
tariff legislation and his position on
the various schedules of the bill. He
sought to find out what would be to
the best interest of the South with
reference to all proposed tariff
schedules and made it his business to
stay on the ground until the session
closed.

WIFE KILLED IN DARK.
Mrs.. C. B. Bigham Accidentally
Slain Near Georgetown.

Charleston, S. c., Sept. 5.-Mis-
taking her for a burglar, William
Avant, prominent planter Of
Georgetown county, last night shot
and instantly killed Mrs. C. B. Big
ham, who had accompanied her hus-
band, physician Of Harpers, small
town in the same county, on pro.
fessional visit to Avant's home,
Sunny Side" plantation, on MUIR
rell's inlet. DR.. Bigham and Mr..
Avant were sitting on the front
porch Of Avant's home after supper
when they saw in the darkness q
figure pass the house and go towards
a nearby creek. Not being answered
when they hailed, they got a shot
gun and followed. They saw the
figure apparently crouch near tho
creek bank, and hearing no reply
when they called, Avant asked DR..
Bigham what he should do.
"Shoot It," said Bigham, and
Avant fired both barrels at close
range. Running back to the house
they secured a light and returned to
the creek bank to find Mrs. Bigham
stretched there dead, the contents
of both barrels having taken effect
in her back, even the gun wads hav-
ing penetrated her flesh.
Avant carried the news to George
town and accompanied the deputy
sheriff and coroner back to Murrell'a
inlet.

How She Was Related.

"You say madam said the be-
spectacled lawyer to the woman In
the witness chair, that the defend
ant, is a sort of a relation of yours;
"will you please explain what you
mean by that; just how you are re-
lated to the defendant?"
The witness beamed upon the
court and replied:
"Well, it's just like this. His
first wife's cousin and my second
husbands first wife's aunt married
brothers named Jones, and they were
cousins to my mothers aunt. Then,
again, his grandfather on his moth
er's side and my grandfather on my
mothers side were second cousins,
and his stepmother married my hus-
bands stepfather after his father
and my mother died, and his brother
Joe and my husbands brother Har-
ry married twin sisters.
Il amt never fggered out just
how closely related we are, but I've
always looked on i'm as sort of
cousin"
'Quite so," answered the lawyer.
your explanations are perfectly sat-
isfactory."

The Clinchfield Charter.

Columbia, Sept. Cit is not prob
able that the Carolina, Clinchfield
and Ohio charter matter will be
taken to the courts, at least not for
the present. Although there has
been no official announcement to this
effect it is understood that the roads
attorneys will not press the obtain
ing of the charter under the recent
act of the general assembly. The
road is building now under a local
charter.
Recently Attorney General Lyon
gave an opinion that the act OF the
legislature is unconstitutional, and
Secretary of State McCown held up
the charter. 1t was expected that
mandamus would be issued against
the Secretary of State to grant the
charter, and that in this way the act
would be tested in the Supreme
Court, but from the present outlook
this course is doubtful. 1t may be
that the company will later decide
to press the obtaining Of the charter
under the domestication act.

THREE WHITE MEN TRIED
SPECIAL TERM OF COURT IN
GEORGIA TRIES RAPISTS.
One White Man Convicted and One
Acquitted-No Danger OF
Lynching.

Gainesville, Ca, Sept. AT a
special term of the Barlow county
superior court here Jack Worthing-
ton, white, was today convicted of
criminal assault with recommenda-
tion to mercy and was sentenced to
20 years in the penitentiary. Dink
Worthington, co-defendant, was ac-
Quilted. The case of Will Golden,
another white man, charged with
criminally assaulting white woman
Is now on trial.
Although there was considerable
excitement in the northern part Of
Barlow county following the commis-
sion of the assaults and threats of
lynching were freely made, the ex-
citement was appeased when the
special term Of court was ordered to
try the cases. While the verdict in
the Worthington case fails to meet
the approval of many Of the hun
dreds of citizens from the northern
section Of the county, who are in at
tendance upon the court, it Is not
apprehended that there will be any
attempt to do any of the Worthing-
tons any violence.
The spectacle of three white men
facing trial at the same term of
court, charged with criminal assault
"a crime associated heretofore al
most exclusively with certain type
of the negro-is unparalleled in the
history of American courts. The de-
tails of the assaults upon the young
women, as recited by them, were re-
voting.
1t is certain that Judge Fite's Or
dering of the special term of court
was all that prevented at least an at
tempt to lynch the three men.
Howard Stakely, a negro, is in Jail
and will probably be tried on the
charge of criminally assaulting a Z
year-old negro girl.
A verdict in the Golden case is ex-
pected tomorrow morning.

COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS
SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, September 6.-Cotton
is being picked as fast as farmers can
get hands to do the work. If the
weather remains fair and dry there
will be but little cotton left in the
fields by the end of this month.
The Farmers Union is busy in
this section. Some talk that they
have bought Capt. Dannelly's store
and lot, and next year they intend
to open up a store to supply their
farms.
More than two hundred bales of
cotton changed hands here last week
from IL cents to 1890 per pound.
It seems as if our town is the best
market around here anywhere, at
least cotton comes from other towns
here.
Our cotton platform was not large
enough to hold the cotton on Satur-
day. About thirty-eight bales had
to be placed on the ground and in a
car box.
Dry and dusty is the complaint of
all travellers now.
Booze is being INDUCED in freely
by all the lovers of it. Makes them
feel rich.
Work on the school house is going
on at rapid rate, and it will not be
long before it will be ready for
work.
The Misses Evans, of Branchville,
spent several days visiting Miss
Elizabeth Roberts last week.
Mr.. Henry Ehrhardt has bought
the gin, saw mill and grist mill out
f1t of Carter Bros, formerly owned
by Mr.. Isaac Carter. He is working
the gins now.
The Conrad Ehrhardt Co. ginned
two hundred bales of cotton last
week. JEE.

"Jolly Eight" Entertains.

Kearse, Sept. 6.-Last Tuesday
afternoon, August 81, the grove of
Mr.. G. E. Kearse was the scene of
much merriment for the "Jolly
Eight" were there busily engaged in
making punch and cream, hanging
lanterns, arranging seats and tables,
and planning for the pleasure Of
their guests that evening. We say
the Jolly Eight" though the "Jolly
Two Dozen" would sound more like
it to stranger passing by, as all the
girls who happened to be away at the
time this club was organized, con-
slider themselves one of us, when
there is any fun to be had, or when
there is any work to be done. The
boys, too, are always willing to lend
a helping hand. They were there
also and gave much good advice as
to the placing of benches where they
thought the shadows were likely to
fall thickest, CD as we'll as helping
in numerous other ways. By sun
down everything was pronounced
"ready," and happy set of young
people left for their homes with
nothing to do but "look pretty and
meet again at nine o'clock.
At the stated hour our guests be-
gan to arrive and soon the grove was
filled with a good natured crowd of
young people and old people, little
people and big people, all enjoying
themselves in their own way.
We feel greatly indebted to Messrs.
L. A. Brabham and J. S. Breland,
who with their violin and banjo and
old time songs kept the crowd
amused the entire evening. We have
also to thank the good ladies, Mes
danes J. S. Breland, G. E. Kearse, j.
Lyons, H. Chitty, and others. And
the six little girls who so kindly
took all responsibility in serving the
cream, and Miss Agnes Kearse who
so gracefully presided at the punch
bowl.
We thank you, and say to our
guests we were glad to have you one
and all and only hope you enjoyed it
as much as did the Jolly Eight"

Negro Placed in Jail.

Bennettsville, Sept. 3.-Bob Eller-
be, a negro man about fifty years
old, was lodged in jail here tonight
on the charge of insulting white
woman. Two of the leading citizens
of Tatum community, one of them
being the landlord on whose place
the alleged offense occurred, gave the
facts over the telephone about as
follows: A white woman and sever
al of her small children were picking
cotton near the house they live in,
having moved there few days ago.
Ellerbe was seen loafing near them
in the field and his conduct alarmed
the woman.
She and the children went to the
house and Ellerbe followed them.
He went into the house and insulted
the woman. She got gun, ordered
him off and sent a child to negro's
cabin near for help. Ellerbe left and
went to the gin house, where,
among others was the woman's hus-
band.
Ellerbe sat about for awhile and
then started in the direction of Ben
nettsville, but soon returned. In the
meantime the news had reached the
gin house and her husband hurried
home to investigate and found the
facts to be in keeping with the fore
going. Ellerbe had been taken in
hand by the men who had gathered
and an effort was made to reach the
sheriff by telephone, but the line was
out of order.
Ellerbe made no effort to escape
and when put in an automobile was
brought here by one man and with
out handouts or being tied.
It is the opinion of the two gentle
men mentioned that the negro Is
crazy and if that had not been the
general opinion he would doubtless
not have been rushed to jail. 1t Is
rumored that Ellerbe had similar
experience this morning with a ne
gro woman. He was in Bennettsville
this morning and gentleman who
has known him for number OF
years says he acted in an unusual
manner and that he did not talk like
himself at all.
Bob Ellerbe came here about three
years ago from Richmond county
North Carolina. There seems to be
little excitement in the neighborhood
though a great deal of interest has
been shown, as it was first reported
as an assault and no particulars were
known.

AMBERG, S. c., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,
KILLED STEP DAUGHTER.
Alabama Man Commits Double
Crime-Lodged in Jail.

Troy, Ala, Sept. 3.-Chased across
two counties by two sheriffs, several
deputies and large posse of citi-
zens, with the certainty of being
lynched if captured by the latter,
William Stinton, who this morning
shot and killed his step-daughter,
Miss Gertrude Vann, and seriously
wounded his divorced wife near
Grady, Montgomery county, was cap
tured one mile South of Troy this
afternoon and placed in Jail. Upon
advices that a mob of considerable
numbers was nearing Troy at 8
o'clock tonight Sheriff Carroll called
on the governor for military protec-
tion and the Troy Rifles were i'm
mediately assembled in their armory,
with orders to assist the sheriff in
protecting the prisoner.
Sheriff Tatom, of Crenshaw coun-
ty, advised Sheriff Carroll by wire
that it was very probable that the
body of men marching to Troy is the
posse which chased Stevenson and he
is of the opinion that the men will be
satisfied when they learn that Steven
son is safely in Jail.
Stevenson admitted the shooting
and said it was the result of family
troubles. He told the sheriff that he
knew he would be lynched if taken
back and tried near the scene of his
double crime.
This morning Stevenson stole a
shot gun and went to Mrs. Steven
sons home, where he sought recon-
ciliation. Being denied an interview
by his divorced wife, he opened fire,
the first shot taking effect in Mrs.
Stevenson's right side and complete
ly severing her arms. The second
load of shot struck Miss Vann in the
abdomen, producing almost instant
death.
About thirty members of the posse
from Montgomery and Crenshaw
counties, heavily armed, arrived here
at IL o'clock tonight. They ap-
peared to be satisfied when informed
that Stevenson was safely behind the
bars. 1t is not now thought that
there will be any attempt at lynching.
