Catch Big Royal Sturgeon

There are not only royal fish, but
royal fowl. 1t is laid down in the old
law books that a swan is royal fowl,
and that all swans which have no other
owner belong to the king by virtue Of
his prerogative. The reason for the
ancient right of the crown to the pos
session of surgeons and whales and
swans seems to be that they are in
the nature of things found without
my apparent owner, and accordingly

ton from the general rule of law.

GAVE TOWN CLOSE CALL.
Horses Pull a Wagon Over Forty
Cases of Dynamite.

The two thousand inhabitants Of

n. J have good cause for celebrat-
ing Thanksgiving day this year.
That the inhabitants are all alive Sat-
urday is little short of miracle in
the opinion of most of them. A junk
mans horse which ran away on Main
street Friday night plunged through
the fence enclosing freight yard and
pulled his heavy wagon right over
forty cases of dynamite which were
being unloaded by a contracting firm.
The explosion of the stuff would have
blown the town to pieces. The wheels
of the wagon struck the boxes and
knocked several of them into spllnt-
ers scattering the contents about.
Men who saw what way the runaway
was headed scampered in all direc-
tions, expecting each moment would
be their last.

MIR. Brabham on Taxes.

Editor Bamberg Herald:-t is
rather hard to pass unnoticed your
editorial in regard to my statement
in the Press and Standard. l have
this statement to make: l can pro-
duce tax receipts which show that the
taxes here now are from two to four
times as high as we paid to Barnwell
county before the formation of Bam-
berg county.
1 paid taxes for my wife in Col
Teton county on six times as much
land as l own here and better land,
and the taxes on one-sixth of the
amount (my own place here) was al
most as great as hers.
And I have this statement also to
make, that each year | am paying
higher taxes; and this is true of my
near neighbors, and I hear complaint
on all sides of the advance in taxes.
Many good men refuse to vote, on &C
count of the yearly increase in taxes,
and if good slice can be obtained
from Colleton in a year or so, Bam-
berg will almost be sure to lose all
the Salkahatchie valley.
Any one doubling any statement
have made, can refer to the records
in Bambefg, Barnwell and Colleton.
The Colleton property was returned
by Augustus Verdier in Sheridan
township, my own was returned in
Barnwell county from Three-mile
township and is thus returned in
Bamberg county.
And 1 will further add, that no
one who knows me we'll, doubts no
statement l make, while it is patent
fact, that in forming Bamberg county
many men of that town made prom
ises that they could not make good.
A. w. BRARHAM.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-11-24

If our good friend, Mr.. A. W. Brab-
ham, will look up the report of the
comptroller general he will find that
lands are returned Sc cents per acre
higher in Bamberg than in Barnwell,
and that Bamberg's levy is one-fourth
of one mill higher than Barnwells.
We have not discussed the matter of
anybodys tax receipts for the reason
that we don't know anything about
them. Our contention was and still
is that the official reports show that
there is very little difference in the
taxes of Bamberg and Barnwell. AS
to the valuation of special pieces OF
property in the different counties, it
is likely that some was returned
much lower in one county than the
other, hence the difference in the
amount of taxes paid.

BOGUS PRIEST TRIES SUICIDE.
Man Suspected Of Theft Denounced
by Cardinal Gibbons.

Baltimore, Md, November 19.--
Denounced by Cardinal Gibbons as
an imposter and straightway carried
to the central police station, Paul
West, alias Frank Hume, alias Henry
Knowlson, who the police declare had
been posing as Catholic priest, made
an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide by shooting, as he stood be-
fore the desk at the police station,
ten minutes later. He was disarmed
before he could fire a second shot.
West protested, when arrested to-
day on a charge of the theft of blank
checks from a local printing estab-
lishment. that he was a Catholic
priest and asked to be taken to Cardi-
nal Gibbons for Identification. He was
taken to the Cardinals residence, but
after the Cardinal had put a few
questions to the man the prelate was
convinced that he was not a priest
and denounced him as an imposter.
The police say that he has posed
in various parts of the country as a
Catholic priest, a United States food
inspector, and that in Washington ne
represented himself to be lieutenant
commander in the United States ma
Wy. He was garbed as priest when
arrested to-day.

T.. s. Engineer Returns.

United States Engineer Capt. E. M.
Adams has returned from Spring
field, Blackville and Bamberg, where
on Monday evening he attended
meetings of citizens, held for the pur-
pose of laying before him the matter
of the Government taking up the
work of dredging out the South Ed
isto river and making it navigable
stream. The first meeting the United
States Engineer attended was at
Springfield on Monday morning.
Here a large crowd of citizens OF
the town and adjoining towns gath
cred, anu the proposition of making
navigable the South Edisto was
thoroughly discussed.
From Springfield Congressman Le-
yer and Capt. Adams went across
country by automobile to Blackville
where about noon a meeting was
held. From Blackville the party
journeyed to Bamberg, where Mon
day evening smoker was held and
the river proposition discussed by
many. At this meeting there were
many representatives from Orange
burg, Springfield and Blackville
Among the more prominent figures
at the smoker held at Bamberg was
Congressman Byrnes.
Some time ago Congressman Lever
wrote to Capt. Adams and asked him
to name dates most convenient fol
him to meet the business men of the
above towns and have their plans fo1
making the Edisto navigable. Capt
Adams had intended naming earlier
dates, but there was such a press o1
business that it was only severa
days ago that he was able to write
Congressman Lever that he would be
able to attend Monday.-Charlesto1

The record of Bamberg's criminal

ter of pride to all our people. AL
though no summer term of court was
held, there were only three crimi-

and the work of the general
sessions court was finished Tues
day. One days criminal court
is a fine record, especially 80
when it is rendered that only
two terms of court year are held

something to do with this good rec
ord, for which We are pleased to give
it full credit.

In Interest of South Edisto.

A magnificent banquet was given
last night at Bamberg by the business
men of that town, at which the ques-
ton of opening up the South Edlsto
river was discussed. The banquet
was we'll attended b. the representa-
tive people of Bamberg and the sur
rounding country, and much enthu-
siasm was shown.
Congressman Lever, Capt. E. M.
Adams, the U. S. Engineer, and Con-
gressman-elect Byrnes were present
and addressed the gathering. Capt.
Adams made it very clear in his short
speech that the Government would
have to be convinced that there
would be sufficient commerce from
the towns on the river to warrant
the expenditure for opening up the
river.
Orangeburg was represented at the
Bamberg meeting by President R. H.
Jennings, of the chamber of COM
rnerce, Messrs. w. L Glover, NJ. E..
Matthews, Frank Seignious and Fred
Wannamaker. Messrs. Jennings and
Glover were called upon for speeches
and responded in very appropriate
manner.

Edisto are anxious to have the river
opened for navigation and are work
ing with vim to that end.-Orange-

We are glad to have the statement
from Mr.. Byrnes, published in an
other column in this issue, as to what
has been done and is still doing in
the matter of tracing the authorship
of that scurrilous letter issued dur
ing the congressional campaign. The
editorial comments of this newspaper
were not directed solely to the 81
lence of Aiken" for although there
have been various comments in this
newspaper from time to time since
the primary, in only one instance
was anything said about silence from
Aiken in regard to this matter. 1t
was not our desire or intention to
have Mr.. Byrnes engage in a news
paper controversy, and he is correct
in assuming that it was a desire to
acquire information. Much publicity
was given to this circular letter S
authorship during the latter end OF
the campaign, and we could not un-
derstand what seemed to be total
dropping of the affair. If it was a
crime that should be unearthed, it
seemed to us just as important that
this should be done after as before
the election. We are assured by Mr..
Byrnes that both he and Mr.. Garris
have been at great expense in the
employment of detective-in fact
he showed us one bill rendered to
him for nearly s300-and while we
regret the occasion for this heavy
expenditure, we trust that finally the
author will be found and punished
as he deserves to be. This newspa-
per stands for cleaner methods in
politics, and such actions as this
should be put stop to if possible.
