Man Connected With the Diamond
Swindle Released from Jail.
J. w. Napier, who was arrested

mond swindle at Govan last Thurs

morning early. he having succeeded
in giving bond in two cases against
him. Napier Immediately left town.
walking, although it was about three
O'Clock Sunday morning. evidently
fearing that other charges would be
lodged against him.
We understand that Napier will
claim that 1t Is a case of mistaken
identity. He will attempt to prove
an alibi by proving that he spent the
day in Columbia, and therefore
could not be at Govan, but this will
not do. as he got OF the train from
Columbia at Govan Just before the
trick was worked on the express
agent.
On the nrst charge Napier gave
bond for $1,000. depositins a check
for this amount with Clerk Of Court
Free. He was then held under an
other charge preferred by the ex-
press company. q sort Of peace bond,
AZ stated by the sheriff. Under this
charge he employed w. e. Free, ESQ.,,
to represent him, who went at once
to Aiken and had q strong bond
signed. Mr.. Free stated that the
people Of Aiken had q high regard
for Napier. and getting the bond was
an easy matter. The people there
say II Napier Is crooked they are very
much surprised.
Napier's home 10 at Langley, Aiken
county. where he il well-known and
has many friends. He was in Bam-
berg several months ago. having
charge OF carnival company. This
newspaper had number Of business
dealings with him, and he impressed
us very favorably. The situation in
regard to the carnival company SEEM
ed to Us to be that Napier was an
honest countryman who had gotten
mixed mp with lot of crooks from
the North. It IL said that the valise
found when Napier was arrested and
the other fellow got away, contained
a full outfit Of burglars tools. While
Napier Is no doubt q partner in the
diamond affair. still We are confident
that the main swindler got away. It
II the general opinion here that the
bonds will be forfeited a. Napier will
not appear for trial.

Handsome Hotel.

There are two institutions in Bam-
berg which always attract the atten-
ton Of visitors. and these are the
Mayfower Inn and The Herald
book store and printing ofice. We
do not believe that any travelling man
has come into our place in the last
few months without commenting on
what fine hotel Bamberg has, and
they express the greatest satisfaction
with the service rendered.
The remodeling of the Mayfower
Is now about complete. Not only has
the entire building been remodeled
and made beautiful colonial home.
but the interior has been greatly
beautified. Handsome mantels have
been put in. hardwood floors laid and
nothing has been left undone which
would add to the comfort or pleas
ure Of guests. Several new bed
rooms have been added. and the Inn
has a number Of bath rooms, with
hot and cold water.
It Is little wonder that 30 attrac-
tive a hotel should be welcomed by
the travelling men, for in most towns
they pay 81 to IS q day for no better
accommodations. and tat the May
flower the rate IL only 81 q day. and
the dining room service is fully in
keeping with the rooms and the
other accommodations.
Mr.. and Mrs. BROKER take . per-
sonal interest in their guests. and q
a consequence the Mayfover has the
atmosphere Of the home, and travel
ing men frequently arrange their
routes so as to spend Sunday in Bam-
berg. A fine hotel is one Of the very
best advertisements town can have,
and those Of us who have the best
interests Of the town at heart feel
grateful to Mr.. and Mrs. Brooker for
their admirable efforts in giving
Bamberg hostelry which would do
credit to q town Of three times its
size. In fact, there are few finer
hotels than the Mayhower In any Of
the larger cities Of this State. True
they are larger. but mono have finer
furniture and rooms, are more hand
somely finished, or give better SER
vice than the Mayfiower.

Cattle Being Sold.

Several Of the farmers around
Bamberg county fattened numbers Of
cattle the past winter, among them
being Messrs. w. l. Johns, G. Frank
Bamberg. e. c. Hays, and others.
Mr.. Johns fattened about six hun
dered head or more on his Brown
place just out Of town. Notwith-
the high prices Of meal and
hulls, they all seem to be satisfied. a.
their idea was to get the compost
by the cattle. These cat
tie are now being shipped away to
market, most Of them having been
sold to q dealer from Baltimore, Md.
