Dancing Master Skips.

Last Saturday a week ago a young
man named Mackley came to Bam-
berg, and Monday morning he made
arrangements to open dancing
school in the hall over Herndon's =
grocery store. He was also to give
piano lessons, claiming that he could
teach one to play rag-time music
in thirty lessons. The fee for
dancing lessons was $500, pay
able in advance. He secured a
number of pupils for dancing,
and the school was going on
every night. But last Saturday
Mackley skipped out, having collected
nearly 5000 from his pupils. He
did not pay his board at the Garland
House or rent for the hall. It is
said by those present at the school
Friday night that Mackley was drink
ing, and it is thought by some that
this is the reason he left, and that
he would not have gone had he not
thought that his school was broken
up, as the young ladies would not
come back any more after seeing him
under the influence of liquor. Be
that as it may, Mackley is gone with
about 5000 and the pupils paid $1.00
a night for their dancing lessons.

Stolen Horse Recovered.

On Sunday, January 23rd, we'll
dressed white man hired from Jack
sons livery stable horse and buggy
for an hours drive and never re-
turned with the team. Information
was sent in different directions Of the
stolen team, and while Officer Muco
Samuels was in Bamberg on Wednes-
day, he learned of team which was
in that county which excited suspi-
cion. He traced it to Mr.. Zeigler's s
place in Orangeburg county, and
found that the horse thief had traded
the horse for a mule, and had left in
the direction of Blackville, presum-
ably on the way to Charleston.
The horse was taken by Officer
Samuels and now the Orangeburg
man is minus mule. The officers
of Orangeburg county are after the
thief, and it is likely that he will be
captured before many days.
The horse thief is travelling under
the name Of M. w. Broch, of Flor
ence county.-Aiken Journal and Re

Stolen Horse Recovered.

Last week an officer from Aiken
was in Bamberg looking for horse
which had been stolen from livery
stable in that city some time ago, he
having been advised by Mr.. ]. ].
Smoak that the horse was over in
Orangeburg county. A white man
hired the horse and buggy from the
livery stable and went away with the
team. 1t happened that Mr.. Smoak
knew Of the horse being traded to a
negro over in Orangeburg county for
a mule, and he took the officer over
there for the animal. 1t proved to
be the horse belonging to the Aiken
stable, and the animal was taken in
charge by the officer and brought to
Mr.. Smoak's stable here, where it
now is, awaiting the owner to send
for it.

Wants Lands Drained.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Smith, of South Carolina, to-day con-
suited President Taft about the bill
he intends to push providing for a
national commission to reclaim over
flowed and wet lands in the South
and elsewhere Mr.. Smith wants
this bill referred to the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture, because the
purpose is to increase the agricul-
tural lands all over the country.
"This proposition is of much more
value to the country" said Senator
Smith, than the immense expendi-
ture to reclaim the arid lands of the
West. Drainage of the richest lands
may be done at far less cost per acre
than in the arid regions and for agri-
cultural purposes they will be in
fnitely more useful to the country.
The bill provides for redeeming not
only public lands, but privately own
ed lands under conditions of benefit
to the government"
The South Carolina Senator also
talked with the President about hav-
ing the battleship South Carolina sent
to Charleston to receive silver SER
vice contributed by citizens of that
State. The President said that he
would be glad to have the battleship
ordered to South Carolina waters so
soon as it could be done. Senator
Smith went to the Navy Department
to consult officials there about the
going Of the vessel.

MANY DIE IN WRECK.
Railroad Disaster Near London, Eng
land, Last Sunday. -.

One of the most serious railway ac-
cidents in England since the disaster
to the steamer train at Salisbury, in
July, 1908, when many Americans
lost their lives, occurred at Stoals
Nest near London on the London and
Brighton railway Sunday afternoon.
Eight dead and about thirty injured
were taken from the wreck.
Two third class cars and Pullman
of train from Brighton, travelling at
a speed of about 40 miles an hour,
crashed into the station. The third
class cars were completely wrecked
and a part of the building was de-
molished. The Pullman was thrown
violently into the air but was COM
paratively little damaged. Its pas
sengers escaped with minor injuries.
One account says that the wreck
was due to the derailment of por-
ton of the train and another that it
was due to the breaking of the coup
ling between the first and second cars.
The two third class cars reared al
most on their ends and toppled over
on the platform, bringing down a
mass Of iron girders and timbers from
the station, with a tremendous crash.
Doctors, ambulance detachments,
and boy scouts with stretchers soon
appeared. The critically injured were
taken to local hospital while the
others were carried to London. Sew
eral of the injured will die, as they
are very seriously hurt. A rigid in
yestigation will be made into the
cause Of the wreck. Such accidents
occur very seldom in England.

Death of Mr.. j. M. Jennings.

Mr.. J. NJ. Jennings, a highly-re-
spected citizen of this city, died at
his residence Wednesday night Of
last week, after a short illness of
pneumonia. Mr.. Jennings had been
in bad health for some time, and in
fact had but recently recovered from
an illness. He had only been out
few days when he was attacked with
pneumonia, and it was at once seen
that his case was a desperate one
and but little hope was held out for
his recovery.
The burial took place last Thursday
afternoon at the old cemetery, the
services being conducted by Rev. T.
G. Herbert, his pastor. There was
a large crowd present to pay their
tribute of love and respect to the one
who in life enjoyed the friendship
of so many. The floral tributes were
many and handsome.
The pail bearers were as follows:
Honorary: J. D. Copeland, Sr., H. c.
Folk, J. A. Byrd, ]. T. O'Neal, c. B.
Free, A. Kirsch, Sr. Active: c. ]. S.
Brooker, G. M. Dickinson. w. B.
Smith, E. L. Price, ]. NJ. Grimes, w.
ID. Rhoad, D. F. Hooton.
Mr.. Jennings was fifty-nine years
old and had been a resident of this
city for many years. He was born
in Orangeburg county, near Bam-
berg. He leaves a wife and several
children, as well as numerous other
relatives in this community. He was
a brother of Mrs. F. NJ. Bamberg
and Mr.. Geo. A. Jennings.

Chief of the fire department w. D.
Rhoad was present, and conferred
with council as to eQuipring the fire
department. The sum OF 500 was
appropriated for repairing and eqaiI-
ping the hook and ladder truck now
on hand.
The board of trustees Of the city
graded school appeared before coun-
Gil and requested if possible that
council would appropriate about
S400 to finish paying exl snses for
this session in order that tie school
might run until June. Figuring all
the income possible, including the
dispensary profits, high school fund,
and taxes, the revenue VIII lack
about s400 of paying expenses until
June, and the trustees are al a loss
to keep the school open. Council
authorized Mayor Wyman to take
charge of the matter and confer with
the commissioners of public works
and see if a portion of the business
license could not be used for this ap-
preparation. There is no question
but that the school needs the money
badly, and it is hoped some method
will be devised for keeping the school
open until June.

SAM TYLER KILLED.
Several Negroes Were Out Hunting
When Shooting Occurred.

Last Saturday afternoon about four
o'clock Sam Tyler, negro who has
been working for Mr.. ]. J. Simmons
for number Of years, was shot and
killed while out hunting rabbits on
the Price plantation just out of town.
There were four negroes in the hunt
ing party: Sam Tyler, his son, Sam
Tyler, Jr., Otis Brabham, and Clar-
ence Mcmillan. Young Tyler is about
seventeen or eighteen years old,
Brabham is boy of about fourteen,
while Mcmillan and the elder Tyler
are both middle aged men. Tyler
received a load of No. shot in his
chest and face, and only lived about
half an hour after being wounded.
A physician was hurriedly sent for,
but he died before medical aid could
reach him.
AS soon as possible, Magistrate H.
D. Free empannelled jury who went
out and viewed the body and returned
to town, where the inquest was held.
Several witnesses we're examined,
among them being young Tyler, Brab-
ham, and Mcmillan. The substance
of the testimony of Tyler and Brab-
ham was that McMillan's shot killed
Sam Tyler, while Mcmillan swore
that Brabham's gun went off and did
the killing. Some negroes who were
near at hand and who. rushed to the
scene Immediately after the shots
were fired testified to the effect that
when they arrived Mcmillan said to
young Tyler that this was the result
Of bringing children hunting, and
Tyler said yes, meaning that Brab-
ham had shot his father.
On account of the conflict in the
testimony, the jury returned a YER
dict that Tyler came to his death at
the hands of unknown parties, and
none. of the negroes have been ar
rested.
There was some rumor of bad
blood between Tyler and Mcmillan,
but this has not been put in any def
mite shape up to this writing, and it
seems to be the general opinion that
the killing was an accident, but as
to whether Brabham or Mcmillan
fired the fatal shot is a question in
doubt.
It appears that rabbit jumped
up and: three of the negroes fired at
it, young Tyler, Brabham, and Nc
MILAN, but which one killed Tyler
is a matter of conjecture. Certain
it is that the elder Tyler, being in the
line of fire, received load of No. Z
shot, and it is said that young Tyler
and Mcmillan had No. Z shot in their
guns, while Brabham was using No.
shot. The whole matter will be
laid before Solicitor Byrnes by Mag
istrate Free, and whatever course the
solicitor advises will be followed.
Sam Tyler was a good negro, and
had the respect of the white people
who knew him. He had been a faith
full worker for Mr.. Simmons for a
number of years, who pays high tes-
timony to his faithfulness and good
qualities.
