Shoulder Bone Broken.

Robert Fielder, the popular and ac-
comodating clerk at Hoover's Phar-
macy. had the misfortune of having
his collar bone broken Monday after
noon. He and Bissell Beach were hav-
ing friendly tussle when in some
mysterious manner Bob's collar
bone was broken. The break was OF
course a very painful one, but the
only results will be a great deal of
inconvenience for several weeks, as
he is getting on well. He is up and
about but has to wear his arm in a
sling. His friends are glad to know
that the fracture was no worse. Mr..
Beach of course regretted the acci-
dent, but it is we'll known that such
things will occur sometime and no
blame attaches to either one.

MARRIAGE LAST NIGHT.
Mr.. Clarence B. Freei Jr., and Miss
Lizzie Hand Happily Married.

Mr.. Clarence B. Free, Jr., and Miss
Lizzie Hand, two of the most popular
of Bamberg's young people, were
married last Wednesday night at
the home of Miss Hands father. The
wedding ceremony was performed by
Rev. l.. E. Virgins. A few friends
and relatives were present, but to
the general public the marriage came
as surprise, few people being aware
that they were to be married at that
time. The ceremony took place at
7 o'clock and the bridal couple left on
the west bound train for Atlanta;
from there they will go to other points
of interest, visiting several cities in
the South and then up North.
Mr.. Free is the head salesman in
the store of Mr.. W.. D. Rhoad and
has always been favorite among the
social set. Miss Hand Is the only
daughter of Mr.. S. A. Hand, the ef-
fcient chief of police. She is highly
esteemed in her circle of friends and
it is a pleasure to them to know that
this will be her permanent home.
The young people were escorted to
the train last night by large num-
Der of friends and there given fond
farewell and many happy wishes for
q bright future.

PROF. ELI MOVE CRAZY.
Carried to Columbia this Week to be
Placed in Asylum for Insane.

Placed in Asylum for Insane.
Last week when I mentioned local
characters which might be of in
terest and said that there were proba-
bly, others, I did not have in mind
at that time Professor Eli Moye. 1t
seems that the professor will have to
be mentioned this week whether we
wish it or not.
It is said that the line of demar-
cation between genius and insanity is
very slight and that genius has to
be very careful lest he overstep the
line and be deemed insane. For
many years the mind of Professor
Moye has given form to words incon-
gruous and superfous and the minds
of local students have puzzled fire.
quently over some expressions with
which their feeble minds were entire
ly incommensurate.
Even when very small boy it was
my pleasure along with other fel-
lows to inquire of the local weather
prophet, Professor Moye, as to the
length, the depth and the general di-
mentions of the state of the weather,
and of course with our local prophet
there was no backing down from the
questions in hand. He did not need
to back down; he was there with a
suitable expression to fit the
occasion whether or not it suited the
atmospherical conditions. The wealth
er was always his favorite theme,
but his vocabulary was in no wise
limited to dealings pertaining to that
one lone subject. The heavenly
bodies were to him as mere creatures
of his own imagination and to deal
with them in manner verbose was
his privilege.
If there is one creature Of whom
Eli constantly remined one, it is that
creation of the cartoonist, Happy
Holligan," the only difference being
that Professor Moye has a skin of
black.
1t is not a hard thing to think OF
Eli as being in the asylum, he was al
ways giving indications of his fitness
to be there, and we think that the
coming of the comet was too much
for him, and his astronomical vo-
cabulary was not equal to the. occa-
sion. His mind gave way only to a
visitor who arrived after seventy-fve
years. If Eli ever recovers from his
present fit of insanity he will have
the pleasure of knowing that it took
a comet and an unusual comet at
that to knock him out of the realm
of intelligent beings among whom he
has moved for a number of years.
There is sad side to old Eli, and
no, one in Bamberg will fail to be
sorry that the half-witted fellow has
lost all reason. Ellis father, Old Bill
Moye, is quite an old man now and
he, too, has had a history in Bam-
berg; but the sad part Of it is that
Old Bills history won't help Eli and
Ellis history will not help Old Bill,
and 80 these men, father and son,
have come and are going without
having anything to speak for them
to my mind and perhaps to yours,
save the memory of time when Old
Bill was ever drunk and constantly
dubbed to the guard house, and the
remarks of a man given to prolixity
dealing for the most part in pro-
phecies of the weather. NV W.B.
