NEWS AND NOTICES
Bro. C. B. Free and Rev. o. j.
Frier, the pastor, attended the ex-
ecutive committee meeting of the
Barnwell Association at Blackville
last week.
The inclement weather prevented
any prayer meeting last Thursday
evening.
We had a good attendance at Sun
day-school Sunday morning and fair
congregations at the preaching SER
vices.
The pastor preached in the morn
ing on the concentrations OF Jesus,
viewed as his medals and diplomas,
noting the things they were given
for. The line of thought and Bible
study seemed to be very much appre-
ciated.
The theme at night was Paul, the
ever ready. He was presented as al
ways ready for service or sacrifice IN
the service of his Lord.
Friday afternoon will be the regu-
lar time for the Sunbeam Band to
meet.
The music at the church Sunday
was as usual good, but especially SO
Sunday.
Pastor O. J. Frier attended the
ministers conference of the Barn
well Association Monday at Den
mark. A goodly number were pres
ent, and the main topic Of interest
and discussion was the coming pro
hibition election in August and the
attitude we should take and what We
ought to do in the matter as minis
ters of the gospel.
All ministers of every denomina
ton in Bamberg and Barnwell coun
ties were requested to meet with thu
conference on further consideration
of this question on Monday after thu
first Sunday in July.
If you continually miss your chill
dren from the regular family meals
you become uneasy about them, ant
usually they are sick when they d.
not have appetite. So it is when tn
pastor misses some faces from tn
regular services, it is occasion 70
concern; for if a professed Christian
has no relish or appetite for tn
"sincere milk of the word,' 1t /
evidence that such one is in sickl,
spiritual condition.

Meets Death in Elevator.

New York, June 7.-On her first
visit to New York and her first ride
in an elevator, Miss Lena Schoon-
maker, 10 years old, one of a sight
seeing party, was crushed to death
this afternoon when her head was
caught between the floor of the ele-
vator and the sixth floor of the Flat
iron building. The party was be-
ing chaperoned by Mrs. Charles M.
Hall, daughter of Judge Alton B.
Parker.
When four of the girls started to
descend in the elevator, Lena fell
forward in a faint, her head near the
door of the car. The car stopped
but started up again. The head OF
the girl rolled over the edge of the
car and the protruding ledge of a
floor caught and crushed her skull,
broke her neck and crushed in her
chest. She died instantly.
The elevator boy was placed under
arrest on technical charge of homi-
eide.

PICKENs NEGRO TO HANG.
Haas Butler Found Guilty of At
tempted Criminal Assault.

Pickens, June S.-The morning
session of the court was taken up
with the trial of the State against
Haas Butler, colored, charged with
criminal assault. The court appoint
ed w. E. Fendley to represent the
prisoner. The lady upon whom the
assault was made is the daughter Of
one of the best citizens of Pickens
county. She is 21 years of age and
told the story Of the assault in a
cool and deliberate manner in open
court.
The summary of the testimony is
that on the night of April %, about
II o'clock, the lady was walked up
by Haas Butler. The girl resisted
the attack and the brute was fright
ened away, escaping by the window
through which he entered. Details
of the crime were brought out in tes-
timony not necessary to be recited.
The moon was shining brightly
and she recognized him with his blue
shirt on. Butler works on her faith
er's farm and she saw him nearly
every day. The lady positively iden-
titled him in court.
Reliable citizens heard Buffers
wife say to him on the night after the
arrest: II told you not to go up
there" Butler said, 'Shut your
mouth" Butler came and went from
the lady's house in his stocking feet.
He was tracked to and from the
house. His socks were produced in
court and sworn to by reliable citi-
zens.
Arthur Bray, colored, was star
witness for the State. He swore that
Butler told him what he was going
to do with the girl. No defense was
offered. The jury remained out about
three-quarters of an hour and found
a verdict of guilty, which means a
death sentence. Judge Dantzler SEN
fenced the prisoner to be hanged on
Friday, July %.

Dispensary Investigation.

The dispensary investigation In
Columbia is getting interesting, and
it seems that the attorneys and the
commission are going to get re-
suits. The sensational affidavit of
C. w. Dudley is published in another
column, and the testimony Of H. A.
Curiel, head of the New York and
Kentucky Co., before the commis-
sion on Tuesday is decidedly inter-
esting. Mr.. Curiel testified that he
paid commissions to James Farnum
and Briggs Wilson, this money be-
ing paid to them as commissions on
whiskey sold to the State dispensary.
Mr.. Curiel stated that Farnum
seemed to have great influence with
the board of directors and had kept
his firms account from being paid.
It seems likely that former members
of the board are going to be put to
some trouble at least.

Trustee Elected.

In accordance with the published
notice, meeting of the taxpayers OF
Bamberg school district was held in
the court house Monday afternoon
for the purpose of fixing the levy for
the graded school the coming year
and for electing a trustee to succeed
Mr.. W. NJ. Brabham, chairman Of
the board, whose term had expired.
The levy was made four mills, same
as last year, and Mr.. Brabham was
unanimously elected to succeed him
self as trustee, and we are indeed
glad that he consented to serve
again, for he is a mighty good man
for the place and the school district
is under great obligations to him for
his earnest work for the school.

ROBBERY ON MAIN STREET.
Automobile Repair Shop Broken
into and Robbed.

into and RODDeQ.
Last Wednesday night, between
the hours of 1880 and 2:30
o'clock burglars forced an entrance
into the repair shop of Mr.. Buist
Brickle by smashing a glass in the
back door and removing the bar
across the door.
The robbery was discovered by
Mr.. Brickle about 2:30 a. m, when
he came down to take the early
morning train. After hurried in
vestigation he started on e search
for the night marshal and reported
the robbery to him. Bloodhounds
were Immediately put upon the trail,
but as the robbers had provided
themselves with bicycles taken from
Mr.. Brickle's stock, it was impossible
for the dogs to do anything.
The robbers were tracked in the
direction Of Denmark by the tracks
of the bicycles, but the trail was
lost at the ginnery about a mile from
here. 1t is supposed that the cul-
prits left the dirt road at this place
and took to the railroad track.
Mr. 6TlChl0 Is 1uClluSQ W tuluh
that the job was accomplished by
some one familiar with. the
place, as they seemed to find no
difficulty in selecting articles of
greatest value.
An inventory of the stock revealed
the fact that three Winchester rifles,
two pistols, two bicycles and eight
pair of bicycle tires were taken. The
robbers left one bicycle standing out
side the back door, however, it hav-
ing a broken chain, and selected an
other one in good repair.
It is thought that the same parties
tried to force the back door of Mr..
D. A. Kinard's store at about the
same hour, but were frightened away
by the night marshal, who arrived
in time to fire three shots at fast
retreating from, none of which it is
thought took effect.

ment for protection Of forests,
an Interesting review has just
been made of the work in China
a country which is. so often
cited as an example of the evil
effects of deforestation.
In portion of the Celes,aal
Kingdom, earnest efforts are
now being made to re.establish
q forest cover by planting. Con-
sui Wilbur T. Gracey Of Using
tan. China, reports that the.
Germans in that region are
making successful attempts at
refores.ation. The success Of
the work was practically as
sured at the start. for to Ger
many is given the credit for
having the highest developed
system of forestry, and it was
natural to expect that the long
experience in forest work in the
Fatherland would lessen prelim-
mary experimentation and has
ten progress in China.
When Tsingtau was occupied
by the Germans about eleven
years ago the hills were found
bare and barren, with only a
sporadic growth of scrub pine
and weeds. Plans for refores-
tation were at once made, and
about 1906 acres have already
been planted. About half Of
this is planted in acacias, the
balance in pine, larch, walnut,
oak, ash. naples and alders.
So successful has this planting
been that the point has already
been reached where the sale Of
timber can be made. Small
branches are sold for tirewood
and some of the timber is used
for n dng purposes. The sale
and expectation Of acacia is ex-
pected to become a considera-
bile source of revenue during
the next few years.
It's particularly remarkable
that this work should have been
so successful in view of the diff.
ficulties to which the plantation
was subjected. The rainfall is
light and lacl. OF moisture con-
Fsiderably retarded the develop.
ment of the trees. BY far the
worst enemies, however, were
inseoss. Various species OF
caterpillars and other insects
have been so destructive that
thousands Of Chinese boys and
womena are now engaged annual
ly to destroy them. Various
measures of prey 1t.1n have
been tried. such as placing gir-
dies of glue on the trees, but
| these have not been effective and
lit.was found necessary to resor,
to- a systematic destruction OF
the insects by hand.
During 1908 over seven mil
lion caterpillars were gathered
by hand, smashed, covered with
lime.and afterwards used as
fertilizer. This method ha.
been successful in protecting
the greater part of the planta
tions, but on the mountains OF
the border of the territory. the
trees are eaten bare. Acacia.
appear to withstand the attacks
