Lamar, May 31.-Word reached
here yesterday afternoon that a
young negro woman, daughter of El-
lis Woods, who lives on the place
Of Mrs. Board, near Gainesville, was
dead under suspicious circumstances.
Sheriff Blackwell, of Darlington
county, upon being notified appoint

crowd of others and a coroner's jury
was empaneled.

his daughter, girl of 18 years, until
she died from the treatment.
Another daughter of Woods testi-
fed that he had beaten the dead wo-
man with a wagon whip. There
were cuts and bruises on her face
and head and it appears that her
skull was fractured.

was complaining of feeling sick and
that she fell out of the door and
killed herself.
The jury rendered verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to her
death at the hands cf her father.
Woods was brought to Lamar and
placed in Jail for safe keeping.

Foot Washing in Church.

Summerville, Ca, May 27.-Hun-
dreds of people from every direction
impelled by curiosity, assem- bled
Sunday at country church near
Lyerly to witness the ceremony of
foot-washing practiced by the Primi-
tive Baptists of northwestern Geor-
gia.
There were present yesterday
some 25 communicates, male and fe-
male, all of whom, in accordance
with the ritual of this church, sub
mitted to this ordinance.
A failure of any member to under
go this service at the hands of some
pious member would be deemed a
matter of such gravity as to necessi-
tate the appointment of committee
to inquire into the spiritual condition
of such a one.
In May and September of every
year this ceremony of foot washing is
piously observed by the faithful few
of that sect at this church.

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:
see a clipping in your paper claiming
that prohibition does not prohibit.
You are mistaken, it does, and that is
what hurts.
Look at these figures, which
show a decided decrease in internal
revenue:
For the year ending June, 1908,
the receipts decreased s17,99S,-
O72.81-in round numbers, the gov
ernment did not collect eighteen mil
lion dollars of liquor tax because
there was a corresponding decrease
in the amount of intoxicants sold.
1t appears, then, that prohibition
prohibited the amount or eighteen
million dollars revenue in 1907
1908.
"'During the first three months of
the current fiscal year, beginning
July /, 1908, the internal revenue
receipts were s7,262,23S.27 less than
for the corresponding period last
year. At this rate the reduction by
the end of June Of this year will
amount to over S29,000,000.00.
Many million dollars of this money
will be put into legitimate busi-
ness.
The supreme court of the United
States has decided that legally, the
saloon has no right to exist, and that
the people have the right to vote it
out of existence whenever they see
fit"

It has already been demonstrated

Thursday, June 3, 1909

Senator Tillman voted against an
amendment to the tariff bill provid-
ing for free lumber, while Senator
Smith, who was paired, stated that
he would have voted for the amend
ment. Now who is the Democrat?

The speed OF automobiles on Main
street is supp osed to be limited to
six miles an hour, but many automo-
bilists pay no attention to the speed
limit. When an accident occurs
will be too late to hold them down
to the limit.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-06-03

Senator Tillman can hardly be
held up as model of Democrat,
and those who vouch for his Democ-
racy are likely to find themselves in
straits where it will be hard to ex-
plain. Mr.. Tillman declared in the
Senate some years ago that If there
was any stealing going on he wanted
his share for South Carolina. He
also headed the South Carolina dele
cation to the National Democratic
convention, and stated that he saw
q light in the West and would bolt
the, convention if he didn't get what
he wanted, meaning by this that he
and his delegation would follow the
Populists. Those who attempt to
make Mr.. Tillman a model for Demo
Gratis to follow will have hard time.
But we have never blamed the Sena-
tor. Democracy has never meant
anything in South Carolina but
white supremacy, and we don't
blame him for voting against free
lumber or trying to get what he can
for this State. We are all protec-
tionists anyway, when our pet in
dustries are concerned, and nobody
but a fool would vote for free trade
pure and simple. We people of the
South call ourselves free traders, but
we want protection for our indus
tries just the same as the New Eng
lander

ported that at first he poured kero-

stopped by his wife. He then got an
old shotgun and said he would shoot

before he could accomplish his mad
intent. Frustrated in the two first at
tenpts to do damage to himself and
family he secured some sulphate OF
strychnine, and took a quantity OF

goe into communication over the tele-

Lunell, who was attending case In
the neighborhood, to see IL he could
do anything for the man. He arrived
about an hour after the poison was
taken and by this time IT had passed
from his stomach and the use of eme-
tics proved of no avail. Chloroform
was successfully used to lessen danger
from commissions and the man was
soon out Of danger In the meantime.
DR.. Lund, who was also called at the

MEET AT BISMARCK
.sAKAKAWEA MONUMENT TO BE
UNVEILED AT THE FEDORA
TON CONVENTION.

Valley City, N. D., Oct 9.-The
fourteenth annual meeting of The
North Dakota Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs will be held next October
at Bismarck. This was the conclus-
ion of the delegates yesterday after
noon shortly before they adjourned
1t is expected that the remaining
81, 200 of the $4,000 which the Sakaka-
wea statute at Bismarck will cost will
be raised during the year and the
gathering at Bismarck will be marked
by the unwilling of the monument on
the capitol grounds. The state legisla-
ture last winter appropriated $1,000
for the base and this will be built dur
ing the year and it is hoped that the
monument will be ready for unwilling
at the next annual meeting.
The delegates and visiting club wo-
men left Valley City feeling that the
women's clubs of the state had made
great strides forward during the past
year. The increase of the number of
clubs during the year has been very
great. There are now 81 clubs in the
state members of the federation as
against At last year. There were 104
voting delegates present at the con-
vention, the largest in the history Of
the organization. In addition there
were a large number of visiting club
