WOUNDED BY NEGRO.
Hayne Buford, Mail Clerk, Struck on
the Head With Stone.

A special from Laurens on Satur-
day to the News and Courier says:
"In an alteration at the passenger
station early this morning with Rich
Curry, a negro hotel porter, Hayne
Buford, of Newberry, son of Sheriff
Buford, of Newberry, and mail clerk
on the mixed train between Laurens
and Columbia, received a painful
wound. Curry assaulted Mr.. Buford
with a large rock, striking him in the
head, near the ear, cutting an ugly
wound. He was knocked to the
ground by the terrific blow, but, as
sisted by companion, Buford arose
and fired several shots at the negro
as he was beating hasty retreat
from the scene Curry was arrested
and locked up, while Mr.. Buford was
removed to his boarding house and
given immediate medical aid.
"It appears that Mr.. Buford had
had a previous clash with the negro.
Curry, and when he met with the
porter at the station this morning.
he undertook to punish him with a
cane for his alleged offensive conduct
"a few weeks ago. The negro, some
what noted as a fighter, picked up a
handy stone and hurled it at Buford
with the result above Indicated

No Provision Made for Expense OF
the Election.

News comes from Columbia to the
effect that the legislature made no
for the August Whlskey
election. This means that the mana
gers of the election and others who
may be owed money on account OF
the approaching election in the II
dispensary counties, will have to wait
until the next session of the general
assembly before they can be paid.
The act under which the election
is to be held provides briefly in sec
ton Is, as follows: provided that
the expenses of the election shall be
borne by the State" Such elections
as the one to be held in August have
to be provided for at the following
session of the legislature, after they
are held. 1t is hard to tell exactl|
what the cost of the election will be.
In the approaching election, also
the State will have to pay all expenses
which includes the cost of room rent.
In other elections. the counties stand
the expense for rooms, etc., every
thing except the cost of managers
and advertising. But, in the August
election the State stands all the ex-
penses. The election will probably
cost the State in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-07-22

There exists misapprehension in
the minds of many people in this
county in regard to the approaching
dispensary election. Many of them
have the idea that the question to be
decided is Statewide prohibition or
dispensaries, when it is not. The
election to be held in this county de-
cides the question only so far as
Bamberg county is concerned, and
we are not voting on State PROPOSE
ton at all. For instance, Bamberg
county may vote wet and Colleton
and Orangeburg dry and Barnwell
wet, and so on, or others may vote
dry and others remain wet. The leg
islature in it's wisdom made it a
county to county affair, and the ques-
ton to be decided is whether Bam-
berg county shall have dispensaries
or not. We have absolutely nothing
whatever to do with any other coun-
ty.

The officials of the Southern Rail-
way certainly appreciate the meet
ings of the State Press Association,
and there are always several delight
full gentlemen on hand to take care
of the newspaper men as to special
trains, etc. At the recent meeting in
Greenville there were present Col. R.
w. Hunt, formerly assistant general
passenger agent but now connected
with the ticket collecting depart
ment; Mr.. J. L. Meek, assistant gen.
.eral passenger agent; Mr.. ]. c. Lusk,
division passenger agent; and Mr.. w.
E. McGhee, passenger agent. The
editors appreciate the presence and
kindly attentions of these gentlemen
at their annual meetings, and we
trust they will continue to attend.

Lion and Tiger Fight.

New York, July 19.-Fifteen hun
dred persons in a trained animal
show at Coney Island witnessed a
battle between lion and tiger in
a large performing cage and as a re-
suit of the thrilling encounter the
lion probably will have to be killed
to-day. The two animals took part
in the same act and between them
there had been bad blood for a long
time.
When they leaped at each other
late yesterday, the audience looked
on panic-stricken, while attendants
fired blank cartridges at the two
enraged beasts and prodded them
vigorously with steel prongs. 1t
was only when the hind legs of the
lion had been rendered useless by
the tiger biting the small of his back
that the brutes were separated.

AGREES WITH US.

The Bamberg Herald has begun
the agitation of a movement Tor SUN
mer session of the general assemoly
by changing the time OF meetlng
from the months of January anu
February to the months OF July ana
August. The Herald's suggestlon Is
a good one and should receive the
endorsement of the press OF tne
state. However, The Herald mlgn'
have gone further and advocated OIL
enniai sessions and four-year terms
for Office holders in order tnat al,
these much needed reforms mlgnt
come at the same time. What the
State needs is more farmers ano
business men as lawmakers ana as
long as the sessions OF the genera
assembly are held in two OF tne
busiest months in the year 1t Will oe

the same time.-Dillon Herald.
We are glad to have the endorse
ment of Editor Jordan and we hope
other editors throughout the State
will view this matter in the same
light. If we are to get our most
representative farmers and business
men to serve as legislators, the time
Of meeting must be changed. This
newspaper has advocated biennial
sessions and four-year terms for Of
ficials for a number Of years, but 1t
seems so far to little purpose.

The Herald has no axe to grind in
the approaching dispensary election,
and personally we are willing to sub
NIT to the verdict of our people free
ly, fairly, and honestly expressed at
the ballot box. Our columns are
open to both sides of the question,
but all articles must relate to the
merits of the question, and no per-
sonal illusions or insinuations
against anybody will be allowed.
Make up your mind as to what is
best and vote that way, and whatever
your verdict, it should be accepted by
all. We are one people-our interests
are Identical, and we should be will
ing to trust an enlightened people.
But vote with your eyes open, under
standing the question fully. And,
above all, don't fall out with your
nefghbor because he disagrees with
you. 1t is a healthy sign to see peo-
pie have different opinions, for it
shows they are thinking and arriving
at conclusions after Investigating.

FAIR PLAY FOR NEGRO.
Sneaker at Atlanta Points Out Logic
of South's Attitude.

Atlanta, Ca, July 18.-Equal in
dustrial opportunities for the negro
was the keynote of an educational
mass meeting, held this afternoon in
big Bethel church here, under the au-
spices of the industrial department of
Morris Brown College, a negro lnstl-
tuition. The audience of more than
fifteen hundred negroes was inter-
spersed with goodly number or
prominent white citizens, who enter
ed actively into the discussion. A
white man, too, presided James
w. Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church.
The negro speakers stressed the
fact of a perfect understanding OF
the social and political supremacy OF
the white man, to whom the negro
must look for moral and industrial
uplift. The principal address was de-
livered by DR.. Lee, long recognized
by negroes throughout the South as
a loyal friend. His talk was optimis-
tic and, while deploring the recent
effort to oust negro flremen on the
Georgia Railroad, he felt that an era
of better feeling between the two
races was dawning, which augured
for the betterment of the South gen.
orally. DR.. Lee said the white men
of the South could not afford to stand
idly by and see the negro deprived of
the opportunity to make an honest
living.
"The custom has been in the
North" said DR.. Lee, Ito permit the
negro equality in the church, in the
school, in the theatre, in the railroad
coach, but no equality in the shop,
the foundry or in the department of
bricklaying and carpentry. The South
has been disposed to offer him equal
ity in the things in which his rations
are involved. Our Northern friends
say you can do whatever the white
folks do at the top of society, but you
can do nothing they do at the bottom.
The Southern people say to the ne
gro, you can work along with the
white folks in the realm of industry
and thus make for yourself the
means to enable you to create top
for yourselves by your own efforts
and among your own people. In the
South, the white people will have
their own top, but they have been
willing for the negro to work and
build up top for himself, too.
"The ideas which prevail in the
North concerning negro industrial
equality should not be permitted to
make practical expression Of them
selves in the South. 1t is generally
conceded that the North did a good
thing for the negro in setting him
free, and now it is the turn of the
South to do better thing for him
by giving him work, so that his free
dom shall not be a curse but bless
ing"
Ex-Governor Northern, of Georgia,
was among those who spoke.

PULLED TRIGGER WITH TOE.
suicide of John Owens, of Fort Mill
Township.

Fort Mill, July 19.-John Owens,
a white farmer 55 years old, who
lived in the upper part of this town
ship, near the North Carolina line,
killed himself Saturday at noon in
the kitchen of his home. The dead
man so arranged his shotgun as to
pull the trigger with his toe. The
load took effect in his face and neck,
severing the jugular vein and hor-
ribly mangling the right side OF the
face. He died almost instantly.

Cotton ought to bring good price
this fall, if the prices of groceries

the condition of the worker gets
worse every year.
