Little Lad Killed.

Denmark, June Little Edward
Fogle, age Z, son of Mrs. Joanna
Fogle, met his death in a most Pc
culiar manner to-day by an accident
which happened to him Saturday.
The laborers were hauling in oats
from the field and had stopped the
wagon in front of the dwelling to get
a drink of water. The little boy
climbed into the wagon, but, by a
sudden start of the mules, lost his
balance, fell out of the wagon and
the wheels rolled over his thigh.
Mrs. Fogle did not think her son
was hurt much, as he soon began to
play with the other children, ap-
parently forgetting his fall. Sunday
the little fellow had hemorrhage
and upon being examined by the
family physician it was discovered
that a blood vessel had been ruptur-
ed and that it would be impossible
to save his life. The lad died this
morning after suffering intensely for
many hours.

Mrs. Lalla O'Neal Dead.

Yes, she is gone beneath the soil
her lovely face never to be seen
again in this world. By whatever
name she was called: Lalla, Miss
Lalla, Cousin Lalla, Sister Lalla
Aunt Lalla, there was always a
ready response, word Of comfort
a word OF cheer that never failed to
reach the heart of the disconsolate
sufferer.
Lalla O'Neal was born and raised
near the place that she met her
death. She was seventy-three years
old, and in the very best Of health
a woman Of great Christian forti-
tude, with an unusually bright mind
and always ready to meet and dis
charge every. duty of life. True, her
life was hard one, having lost two
husbands-one Of them killed in bat
tie, and an only son and daughter,
both having preceded her to the
grave. She was left alone with no
immediate family except one sister
and brother, who yet survive her. In
the face of all these bereavements
she met life in all Of it's vicissitudes
bravely, not, however, at times with
out showing signs of dependency
and grief.
For some days before she left her
home in Bamberg she had been pre-
pairing for her trip to the Rivers
Bridge Memorial Association, in an
ticipation of the pleasure of meeting
many of her old friends and ac-
quaintances.
On the morning of the fatal day
she was met at the town of Olar by
her grand daughter, Lalla Rush, a
girl yet in her teens. AS soon az
convenient they left Olar for the me-
mortal. Before reaching the grounds
the horse took fright at the dash1ng
by of a pair of horses and running
off but few yards, threw the ladies
out, demolishing the buggy, and
thus ending the life Of lovely and
most noble woman. A death most
painful, heartrending, and distress
ing-one that appeals, not only
to the strong arm of the law, but to
humanity, Christianity, morality.
and civilization, and one that should
admonish the friends Of the Rivers
Bridge Memorial Association to ad-
here strictly to the solemnities
of the memorial occasion, admit
ting no one hereafter except ladies
and the officers of the Association
with such committees as the ladies
NAV wish to assist them in the dis
charge of their respective duties.
To know Lalla O'Neal was to love
her. -. -.

RINGS AND PIANO PURCHASED.
Herald's Contest Prizes Purchased
and Ready for the Lucky Girls. :,

As stated last week, The Herald's
capital prize, the Kingsbury piano,
is now on exhibition at The Herald
Book Store and the diamonds have
been bought from the jewelry firm
of James Allen & Co., Of Charleston,
S. c., the reputation and reliability
of this old, established firm guaran-
teeing a beautiful stone to the for
tunate young ladies who win them.
There still remains five weeks in
which to secure the prizes, in fact,
enough time for any one to start
now, and by faithful work, share In
the prizes.
On another page of this issue will
be found our offer Of extra votes for
the ensuing week, together with our
aim to increase our circulation by at
least one thousand between now and
July 18th. 1t can be done, but we
admit we can't do it alone, but We
are egotistical enough to believe
that we have friends enough to make
the accomplishment certain. If we
haven't got the friends, then the
simple merits of The Bamberg
Herald as a newspaper will do the
work.
The race between the girls Is wax
ing warmer and warmer and will re-
solve itself into a contest whose
final outcome will be hard to pre-.

shall be cast into hell and all the ma
tions that forget God" but we are
left to surmise what that hell shal
be. Scholars tell us that the wore
"hell' is translated from the wore
hades, which means the grave, anc
then there are tigurative expressions
such as 1.-The worm that dieth no'
and the fire that is not quenched,
which was a figure taken from the
pits outside of walled cities where
this fire was kept up at all times fol
cremating dead animals hauled ou1
of cities. Some that the fire d1dn,1
reach were eaten up by worms. The
place for the burning of these AMI
mails was a permanent thing, but the
destruction of any one animal was ol
short duration. l have read my
Bible carefully and l have not come
upon a passage that If rightly inter
preted would convey to my mind the
idea that a Gods creation would re-
main in conscious suffering forever
and such construction of Scripture
and doctrine is gross misrepresen'
tation of our kind, loving Heavenly
Father.
What would your man who
preached such doctrine do with suct
passages of Scripture as 'The sou
that sinneth it shall die" The wicked
shall be destroyed" What does
the words die and destroy mean:
Eternal banishment from the pres
ence of God explains eternal pun
ishment." On the other hand in
herit eternal life and being born into
the kingdom conveys the thought
that the opposite is no life.
I say what are you going to Dc
with such inconsistencies as the
above? We can only take the Scrip
lures and reason and fathom as fal
as good judgment will dictate. We
are sentiment beings, endowed will
a degree of intelligence by which We
have the power of understanding
great many things with clearness
and if we didn't have the reasoning
faculty 1 would say "God pity us.
One man said the other day that ht
believed everything in the Bible IL

faith" would be an impossibility.
Mr.. Editor, your paper contained
last week beautiful tribute of re
spect to the memory Of the aged lad!
whose death was caused by a ru1

KILLED IN AUGUSTA.
j. X. Sandifer, of Bamberg, Meets
Death in Factory.

Mr.. J. K. Sandifer was caught in
the belt of a fly wheel in the Augusta
factory about 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning and instantly killed by be-
ing thrown against a brick wall. San
differ has been in Augusta very
short time. He came here from
Bamberg, S. c., and secured posi-
ton in the weave room, stating that
he wanted to learn the business and
work himself up to high position.
He was 25 years old.
Mr.. Sandifer was killed in the
wheel room, adjoining the weave
room. There were no witnesses to
the accident. The young man left
his work for some unknown reason
and was seen to go into the wheel
room. sThe next heard Of him was
when following a noise in the room
several operatives looked in and saw
him lying on the floor.
There is railing on each side of
the wheel and the officials Of the
factory say that they cannot under
stand how he got to the wheel. He
must have either stepped on the
railing and his foot caught, or pass
ed very close and allowed his clothes
to be caught in the betting.
Sandifer was caught between the
belt and the wheel, and thrown
against the brick wall of the room,
fifteen feet away. His left leg was
broken just above the ankle, his
right thigh was broken in several
places, and his left arm broken. His
ribs on the left side were broken,
and his head crushed. His eye and
cheek bone were driven into his
face, and his jawbone was knocked
out of place.
Sandifer's parents it is understood
are dead. He has no relatives in
Augusta. He has several sisters in
Bamberg, where the body will be
shipped after the inquest. The in
quest will be held at W. I. Will
sons undertaking parlors.-Augusta

Neproes Threaten to Lynch.

Aiken, June S.-Edgar Miles, col
ored, has been lodged in jail, charged
with criminally assaulting little y
year-old negro girl, said to be a near
relative of his wife The crime was
alleged to have been committed last
Wednesday, in Giddy swamp town
ship, but was not reported to the Of
ficers because, so it is said, Miles
threatened the mother Of the girl.
Finally, she says, she slipped away
and told it and Immediately there
arose a feeling of indignation among
the negroes and word was sent to the
sheriff to hurry to the scene to save
the negro's life. The sheriff hurried
to the section just in time to save the
negro from summary justice at the
hands of his own color. He Is now
in Jail.

evening large crowd filled the COM
modious auditorium of the new Dem;

the able address delivered by the
Rev. DR.. ]. w. Daniel of Columbia.
His speech was on education

The exercises were opened by q
greeting given by the president OF
the class, Miss Sadelle Guess, who
afterwards introduced each speaker
in turn during the evening. The
greeting was followed by debate on
the query, Resolved, That the mind
gains more knowledge from reading
than from observation"
Affirmative, Miss Mary Lee High
tower, William Mayfeld; negative,
Miss Marion Riley and Emmet Gill
lam.
The argument on both sides show
ed that the writer's had a thorough
knowledge of the question. The de-
cision was in favor of the negative,
reported by the chairman OF the
Judges, Mr.. C.. w. Garris.
The next thing on the program
was the class prophecy by Ruby
Guess. AS always, the audience was
much interested as the future OF

Sadelle Guess. This farewell to her
class was worded in the most expires"
siye as well as beautiful terms.

the diplomas by Mr.. H. A. c. Walker,
the superintendent of the high
school. Before delivering the d.

Impressive talk to the graduating
class which was full of truths and
good advice.
Before dismissing the audience,
Mr.. Walker made little speech to
the patrons in regard to the school
work, which was enjoyed by all who
heard him. This ended his first
years work in Denmark and a most
successful one it has proved In every
respect. The people Of this town
congratulate themselves upon having

gram. music was rendered by Misses

graduating class, assisted by some Of
the pupils of the lower classes.

Notes from AuendaIe.

Allendale, June 5.-"Bud' Jen-
kins, drifting" negro from Cole
ton county, was in Mr.. P. J. Zeig-
ler's employment for the past six or
eight months, and last Wednesday
night Bud" and Sanders Young,
another "drifter" from Clarendon
county, but very well thought of by
Mr.. Zeigler, and who has been in his
employment about five years, had a
wordy duel, Sanders requesting
Bud to wait until he could step to
his house and get something with
which to put the finishing touches to
the argument. Bud" became so
.angrifed" that he "withdrewed, !"
but Sandy heard of his'n. Thurs
day morning he, Sandy, was
working in his garden when
some one entertained" him with a
load Of No. 8 shot, which caused him
to cross the Congo about one p. m.
thereafter.
Capt. "Jack" Morris and flaming,
the captain of the Barnwell
county changing, were 'phoned for.
They boarded the train at Whaley
with 'Ketch" and Hold Fast" two
bloodhounds. They unloaded here
at Allendale, went out to Smyrna,
Mr.. Zeigler's place, and took the
trail; easy running from there TO
Barton, but Bud had his shoot1n'
iron along, so the boys kept the
dogs back, and there was some fun
of shooting until Buds" head was
glanced, after which he flung his
gun aside and took to the timber in
earnest.
That was all the boys wanted.
bud" slept in Barnwell county's
boarding house last night. Sandy
will be inferred to-day.
Incidentally, let us reason togeth-
er. Bamberg had a legal hanging
some time ago. What good did that
do? Who was taught lesson? Who
will profit by it?
Two of the first four fought IN
the field-one was killed-if hang
ing is right that was the time to
have taught US the lesson, but no, a
brand was put upon him and he was
sent out. Hanging is awful. 1t is
among the very last customs OF
barbarism that we follow. Why not
have let Willie Carter live? Put him
in prison for the balance of his life.
Then he would have produced some
thing and would have been factor
in the sum total of the assets OF the
country's wealth; tooth for tooth,
etc., is all right when circumstances
are equivalent to trading teeth, but
we boast of the most enlightened age
in the worlds history. Let us do
away with capital punishment. Let
US break away from the foolishness
of the past. Bud" in all prob
ability, will be hung in Barnwell
county's jail-,a positive loss for all
time. What good will it do, pray?
OF course these are only some OF
the many reasons that could be given
by MR.. BROWNLOW.
