It is only natural that we should
be proud of the nice compliment
paid the editor of this newspaper by
the Yorkville Enquirer, which we
republished last week, for the En-
quirer is well known in South Caro-
lima as the neatest printed, best
edited, and in fact the best all-round
semi-weekly anywhere. The En-
quirer's comments as to the strength
of the editorial page of The Herald
might be put down as an expression
possibly prejudiced by personal
friendship, but it is dead right when
it says the writer thinks as he
pleases, says what he thinks, and
leaves other people to do the same
without finding fault with them. We
never lose any sleep over results
either. The consciousness of having
performed a public duty-sometimes
disagreeable-is enough for us. We
long since found out that things
wouldn't go our way all the time,
and there is no sense in gnawing a
file.

Audit Report States that Horton
Admitted Shortage.

Hampton, August 27.-Mr. H.
Horton, a former book-keeper and
assistant cashier in the Hampton
Loan and Exchange Bank, of this
place, has been discharged, the rea-
son for this action on the part of
the officials Of the bank, it is alleged, |,
is that young Horton was found short
in his accounts s1,279.S9. 1t is stated
that the young man had made con-
fession in writing.
The Southeastern Audit Company,
of Columbia, represented by Mr.. l..
A. Searson, has made an investiga-
ton of the books of the Hampton
Loan and Exchange Bank, and in his
report says: I'VE have carefully
perused a letter of confession signed
by H. Horton, who, we understand,
was book-keeper and assistant
cashier in your employ. Said letter
confesses to an embezzlement of ST.
252.S2 Of above amount; also an
item of 500 is referred to in said
letter, which is supposed to represent
a note. Horton admits that he mark
ed note paid, pocketed the money
However, there must be some mis-
take as regards this matter"
MIR. n. A. MCGUIRE, representing
the United States Surety Company,
of Baltimore, is at Hampton now in
vestigating the case. Mr.. Wilson, of
the comptroller generals office, has
examined the books of the bank.
Mr.. Horton resides with his par
ents at this place.

IN PROHIBITION TERRITORY
Liquor and Gambling Cause Killing
at Negro Church.

Newberry, August 29.-Rowdyism
and rioting characterized several of
the negro church gatherings in New
berry county on Sunday and at
Mount Olive church at kinards, one
negro lost his life and two others
were seriously and possibly fatally
wounded At Enoree church, near
the Union county line, there were
also considerable disturbances. Lii
quor and gambling seem to have been
the moving causes of the trouble.
In the disturbance at Mount Olive,
at Kinard's the principal participants
were Laurens negroes. Wash Gary
was killed and Elias Dudley and
Mickens Ray were seriously wound
ed. Dudley is in the Newberry jail,
charged with participating in the
killing. 1t is said that he went to a
doctor to have his wounds dressed,
and Mrs. ". C. Sigh, wife of the
magistrate, who lives near, hearing
that he was at DR.. Folks, went and
arrested him and held him prisoner
until an officer arrived. Dudley
gives out very little information about
the affair, claiming that four ne
groes attacked him. He says that
in gambling he had won 25 cents,
and that was the cause of the other
negroes getting mad with him. A
number of shots were fired during
the affray, and it is stated that one of
the mules hitched near the church
was injured or killed. Details of the
affair have been very hard to secure.
Magistrate w. c. Sigh empanelled
jury on Monday morning, and the
jury viewed the body and took the
testimony of DR.. Thomas Pope, who
examined the body of the dead negro,
Wash Gary. Magistrate Sigh ad-
journed the inquest until later day,
for the reason that it was thought
that by adjourning the hearing more
information could be secured. Mag
istrate Sigh will continue the inquest
on Wednesday or Thursday of this
week

what a Bamberg citizen says:
D. J. Cain, Church St., Bamberg,
S. c., says: a.,
'I suffered from kidney trouble
for two or three years and during the
past six months my condition became
quite serious. / often had spells OF
backache which were so acute ! could
not work. l could not sit down
without first grasping something for
support and then putting my whole
weight on my arms. After lying
down it was impossible for me to get
up without assistance, and might
say that I was as helpless as child.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed and at times there was an almost
complete retention. My condition
was critical and all the doctoring l
did brought me but little relief. Re-
Gently I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I obtained from the Peo-
pies Drug Co., and I have since felt
so much better in every way that
cannot praise the remedy too high
ly."

Negro Killed at Denmark.

Denmark, August 27.-Charles
Davis, the negro who shot to death
one Lucy Dwight near the town OF
Bowman, in Orangeburg county, Au-
gust the fifteenth, was located near
Denmark, on the plantation or .
G. Mayfeld by Magistrate S. c. Ray
several days ago, and plans were per-
fected to make the capture to-day
when the negro came up to the plan
tation residence for a settlement. AT
the appointed time the magistrate
was on hand, but when the negro
caught sight of the officers, he made
a dash for the woods, receiving a
gun shot wound in the back which
did not stop him. He was closely fol-
lowed and captured. He was found
to be wounded just above the left
shoulder and was rushed to Dr.
Matthew's drug store where he was
examined and found to be mortally
wounded. The negro refused tc
make any statement and soon lost
the power of speech. At this writing
death is only a matter of a short
while. The negro is said to be a
desperate character and the magls'
trate here was warned by the sheriff
of Orangeburg county to make the
arrest with care and caution. The
murder was a most bloody affair and
the speedy capture Of the negro will
have a wholesome effect upon the
dark corners.

and with helping hand to any who
at the bottom of the ladder and are
earnestly and honestly trying to
climb up to be and do something in
this world.
Here my comrade Brother Jamie
and 1 parted company, for he had
marched and countermarchcd up and
down the hills and streets of Spar
tanburg, that any more was more
than he wanted, and now he was
ready to quit the field and return
to his quiet and peaceful home.
Now whether either of us attended
the ball neither could testify. But
this 1 know, Brother Jamie did buy
the slippers after I left him and l
slipped off on an excursion up, up
I'D to the summit of the Blue Ridge
to Altapass, a distance of one hun
dred miles on the new c. c. & O.
Railroad that has recently reached
Spartanburg. In the location Of this
road is displayed one Of the most
wonderful exploits in railroad engin-
eering to be met with in this country.
The problem to be worked out was a
passage over this lofty ridge on a
one per cent grade (or less) and to
attain the altitude of three thousand
feet above sea level. How difficult
and well the work has been done
may be seen from the serpentlne
route which the road follows as IL
winds along the hills, taking advan-
tage Of the natural cuts, following
mountain gorges to their hlghest
summit, curving with the mountains,
plunging into innumerable tunnels
dark as midnight and then again
suddenly into the bright sun light
presenting pictures Of scenery grand
and beautiful and far SURPRISING my
ability to describe. The last scene
was the most lovely of all. The
rain had ceased, the mist and the
clouds that had lowered around US
all day like great screen rolled
back and the last rays of the setting
sun played upon the mountain top
and shed a halo of glory over the
mountains, distant hill tops, and the
valleys below. Reluctantly we left
such scenes of loveliness and beauty.
"A thing of beauty is JOY for
ever" And thus we bade adieu to
the mountains.

CITY MAY BUY STOCK.
Orangeburg Citizens are to Consider
Investing in New Railway.

At special meeting of the Orange
burg city council, it was decided to
call a meeting of the citizens of that
city for next Wednesday night to dis
cuss the advisability of the city TAX
ing block of stock in the Orange
burg railroad, to run from that city
through North into Springfield. The
section to be brought in direct line
with that city by this railroad is at
present without convenient railroad
connection with the county seat and
the building of this railroad is most
important.

Forgery Charged to Capt. Tillman


Chicago, August pa man Civ
ing his name as Benjamin F. Till
man, captain of company G., 9th
United States infantry, stationed at
Fort Sheridan, was arrested at Eau
Claire, Wis, yesterday on charge
of forgery.
The charge was preferred against
him in Madison, Wis. He was taken
to that city after his arrest.
Friends OF Captain Tillman, at
Fort Sheridan last night professed a
belief that his arrest is mistake.
The regiment to which Captain
Tillman belongs now is at Sparta
Wis, where it has been stained to1
a month during the regular ma
noeuvres.
Lieut.. H. E. Comstock, in com
mand at Fort Sheridan, asserted that
ne had not heard anything of the ar
rest of Captain Tillman.
"His regiment is at sparta and
am sure that he is there with it, as
serted Lieutenant Comstock. He Is
not due here until after September
/. and there is no significance in hls
absence from Fort Sheridan at this
time. 1 do not believe he is under
arrest
Tillman said he is a relative o.
Senator B. R. Tillman, of Soutf
Carolina.

lent his own hand time and time

Companion, his travels brought him to
a town where a friend of his was edit
ing a daily newspaper.
When he called on him, this friend
unfolded a tale of woe. His wife was
seriously i'll. She had gone into the
country, believing that a change of air
would do her good. She was pining for
her husband, and he was pining for
her, but he had no assistant, so if he
took a vacation the paper must stop.
Dr. Hale listened and, returning to
his hotel, sat down at his desk.
Before ne got up he had written
with that ready pen Of his enough
articles on topics of contemporaneous
interest to fill his friends editorial col
umns for a week. Returning to the
sanctum, he threw his copy on the edi-
torial desk, with the remark:
There, now you can go and visit
