An Unfortunate Occurrence.

Last Saturday afternoon Mallory
Creech, the son of Mr.. J. T. Creech,
an estimable citizen of this county,
residing on the old Major Bill Hutto
place, shot and killed a son of Fran
els Walker, colored.
Young Crech is boy under 13
years of age. He had taken a shot
gun and went out hunting, and late
in the afternoon came to where two
little boys were gathering sticks,
when one said: "You ought to have
been here a little while ago; there
were lots of squirrels in the hickory
tree" Closer investigation showed
that a squirrel was in the tree, and
when attempting to make it show
itself more distinctly, the squirrel
jumped from the hickory tree into
an oak, and the boy threw up his
gun, and as he did so, it discharged,
emptying it's contents in the side OF
the negro boy. Death resulted In a
few hours.
No blame is attached to young
Creech, but, of course, he was bound
over for court.

Waylaid and Robbed.

Spartanbiurg, S. c., Sept. 14.-De-
coyed to a lonely spot near Glendale,
six miles from this city by call for
his professional services. DR.. William,
G. Sexton of this city, was waylaid
this morning by two white men who
overpowered him, rendered him un-
conscious with chloroform and rob
bed him Of $500. According to his
statement he had intended to give
the money to a building contractor
in payment for repairs to his house
which was almost destroyed by fire
three months ago. DR.. Sexton had
a narrow escape from losing his life
on that occasion.
DIR. Sexton lay unconscious for nine
hours. When he recovered conscious
ness he called to passing negro
for assistance. He was brought to
Spartanburg and taken home. He
was still dazed but managed to give
fairly good description of one OF
his assailants. Deputy Sheriff j.
Edward Vernon and a posse at once
started in pursuit.

Farmers Should Organize.

Editor The Bamberg Herald
After thinking over the condition OF
the farmers generally of our county,
I think that it is important for them
to come together and strive for their
own interests, and We have the Farm
mers' Educational and Cooperative
Union of America for them to work
to this end in, where they can keep
all their transactions to themselves
and be able to cope with all other
businesses as to their welfare. 1t
seems to me that there has never
been a more important time in the
history of this country for the far
mers to work together than now.
Any person that would like to
join local union may see Mr.. ]. P.
O'Quin, of Bamberg, county organ
izer, and get any information they
would like to have.

MAKING STATE FLAG KNOWN.
Public Buildings Must Display Pal.
metto Tree and Crescent.

One year ago the South Carolina
flag was practically unknown to the
school children of the State. Gov.
Ansel knew that there was a flag of
the State but he did not think there
were thousands of the children who
were unacquainted with the flag. He
had occasion to leave the State and
needle a flag. One could not be
found. There was some discussion
started az to the State flag and it
was found that few people in the
State knew anything about it. Gov.
Ansel became very much interested.
He studied the history of the flag and
as result there was measure pass
ed at the last session of the general
assembly requiring that flags be
placed on the public buildings in the
State including the school houses.
The flags will be manufactured at
Clemson College. The flag has not
as yet been placed on the State capi-

Trinity News Notes.

Saturday will be observed as work
day by the children of Trinity Metho-
dist Sunday school, and the proceeds
of the day will be given Sunday to the
contribution for Epworth orphanage.
The Offering for this purpose is ex-
pected to exceed any previous amount
contributed by the school for like
purpose.
A plan was launched at the morn
ing hour last Sunday whereby the
Sunday school will be able to support
four or perhaps five orphans; this
with the one who is supported by
the Epworth League will give our
church a fair representation in this
work.
October will be an exceedingly busy
month i'm all lines of business and
this will be no less true of the Sun
day school where there's a differ
ence." Great preparations are going
forward already for rally day. On
this occasion there are expected to
be 500 present, which means that the
capacity of the church will be taxed
to the fullest. Appropriate souve
Mrs have already been secured, and
each one present will be presented
with one. A special innovation along
this line will be the souvenir to be
presented to each Confederate vet
eran present. The theme of the day
will be along a line which will appea
to all of these old veterans, and they
will be especially remembered whe1
the tokens Of the day are given out
Following on rally day will be the
Orangeburg District Sunday schoo
convention. This will be an occasion
of great help and pleasure to all Sun
day school workers, and will doubt
less prove an inspiration to man!
others to engage in the work.

Obituaries Are Advertising.

1t is strange that some people can
not realize that an editor has to live
and that his only source of income is
from selling his space and copies of
his paper. There is a standing notice
at the head of our editorial column
stating that obituaries, tributes of
respect, and resolutions in regard to
persons who have died, are charged
for as regular advertising. These mat
tiers are of interest to no one except
the immediate family and friends,
and it costs us money to publish
them. Our rule is to charge for them,
and we trust our friends will not
continue to embarrass us. by sending
this sort of matter in and having us
decline to publish it without pay.

Will Allow No Fight.

Spartanburg, Sept. Solicitor
OTIS of this district to-day called q
halt in the arrangement to have q
prize fight in this county between two
negroes, one representing Union coun-
ty the other a Spartanburg negro.
For some time there have been ru-
mors of this fight, so to-day the solic-
itor took a look into the matter. He
summoned to his Office Alfred Dean,
whose name rumor had associated
with the promotion of the fight, read
him the law on the subject and told
him if the fight was had he would be
prosecuted. The solicitor says Dean
declared he would call the fight of.

Relieves in Unwritten Law.

Lexington, Sept. 20.-"Not guilty
was the verdict in the case of NJ. B..
Buff, the Confederate soldier, who
was placed on trial yesterday in the
sessions court together with his son,
Artie Buff, for assault and battery
with intent to kill. "Guilty of ag-
grayated assault" was the verdict as
to Artie Buff.
At the opening of court this morn
ing the case was resumed, and by III
o'clock the arguments had been con-
cluded and the case placed in the
hands of the jurors. 1t was 5 o'clock
when the verdict was reached.
This is the case in which Miss
Mallissa Buff, daughter Of NJ. B. Bun,
admitted that she fired the shots at
John Hendrix, Jr., because he had
seduced her under promise of mar
riage. Her testimony was dramatic
at times and she was the star witness
for the defense. The father and son,
as well as all of the other members
of the household, corroborated the
young woman's statement.
Judge Gage Immediately sentenced
young Buff to pay fine of 500 or
serve 60 days in jail.
In the course of his remarks to the
prisoner, Judge Gage statel that he
regretted very much that there was
not a law in this State permitting the
shooting of a man like a mad dog,
who had seduced a woman. 1.-The
man who seduces a woman under the
promise of marriage and then fails to
marry her is the lowest sort of a vii
lain," he declared. He stated that
he regretted very much that 1t was
not in his province to give young
Hendrix five years on the chain gang.

Sunday School Convention.

The first annual convention of the
Orangeburg District Sunday school
Association will be held in Bamberg.
This means much to the people of
this community, for there will be Wis
itors from every Methodist school in
the district, and the occasion will be
one full of interest to our entire COM
munity regardless Of denomination.
Some of the workers are DR.. Henry
N. Snyder, of Wofford College; Mr..
J. NJ. Way, the general superintend-
ent of the Methodist conference Sun
day schools for the State; Rev. G. B.
Smith, presiding elder of this district;
Rev. H. w. Bays, pastor of st. Paul's
at Orangeburg; Rev. E. Aston
Wilkes, of Barnwell; Mr.. F. S. Dib-
BILE, of Orangeburg, who by the way
was a resident of this place at one
time; Mr.. Guilds, of the Carlisle Fit
ting School, and others, all of whom
will take part in the program. The
convention will begin on Friday
morning and will continue through
Sunday, these dates being October
81 to % inclusive.
There will doubtless be about 100
delegates and visitors present and the
homes of our people will have to be
thrown wide open if they are to be
accommodated without inconvenience
ing any one. The committee in
charge of this work will begin to can
vass the town before long. 1t is
hoped that the citizens will freely
open their homes and agree to take
just as many delegates as possible.
1t is desired that Bamberg shall
make a new record on this occasion
and that many more homes than nee
essary will be easily secured. The
idea which seems to prevail in the
minds of a great many people is that
these occasions are times when the
hosts must feast their delegates and
thereby many homes are not opened
to the delegates because they feel
that it will be burden to entertain
the visitors. On this occasion at
least this will be laid aside, 1t is be-
lieved, and the people will take them
in camp meeting style If necessary
and simply provide them enough to
eat and place to sleep; if there is
to be any feasting, let it be one OF
the spiritual sort which they will get
at the meetings of the convention.
If our people will fill in the blank
and send to the undersigned 1t will
save a great deal of hard work on
the part of the committee; we will be
glad to have homes from all denomi-
nations. NJ. w. BRABHAM.

DUKES IN JAIL.
Man Who Shot Spires Gives Himself
Up@Spires Still Alive.

Sam Dukes, the white man from
Sumter, who shot and seriously
wounded Aidee Spires, of Orange
burg county, is in Jail in Bamberg,
Dukes came here last Friday morn
ing, arriving just before daylight
and surrendered to Sheriff Hunter at
the Jail, telling the sheriff what he
had done.
The shooting occurred in the town
of Denmark, the difficulty taking
place on an excursion train returning
from Augusta to Sumter. Immedi-
ately after the shooting Dukes jump
ed from the train and came on to
Bamberg, in fact he says that he was
forced to leave the train at once, as
others were attempting to take his
life. From his account, he acted in
self-defense, and this will be his plea.
He has employed S. G. Mayfeld, Esq,
to defend him.
Dukes is a car inspector for the
Atlantic Coast Line and lives in Sum-
ter. 1t appears that he went on this
excursion in the capacity Of peace Of
f1cer, or rather representing the rail-
road, to keep down trouble. His
story is that he did not cut James
Spires or anybody else, that he had
no knife or pistol, and the pistol with
which he shot Aidee Spires was one
he had taken from some man who
was fourishing it around in the car.
Dukes states that he was ap-
preached by young Spires and posi-
bly, others, who accused him of cut
ting James Spires. That he told
them he had done nothing Of the
kind, and did not even know the man
who was cut. That they would not
be satisfied and attacked him with
knives, Aidee Spires having him by
the coat and attempting to cut him
when he fired. He fired four shots,
but only two took effect. Spires is
still alive, and it is thought he has
chance to recover. In the meantime
Dukes will remain in Jail without ap-
plying for bond, until Spires gets bet
ter or worse.

Church and School Burn.

Bishopville, Sept. 19.-Saturday
night about 1 o'clock a. m. the school
house and church at Ashland about
nine miles from here were destroyed
by fire. The school house caught
first, and it is the opinion Of the peo-
pie that the sparks from the school
house set fire to the church which
was situated about so yards from the
school house in the direct course OF
the wind.
The school house was large build
ing with two stories to the main part
and long addition to one side. The
upstairs were used by the Woodmen
of the World, and this order had
meeting before the fire. There was
no insurance on the church and only
$1,000 on the school house which was
worth about $500.
