NEGRO ESCAPES.
Sam Holman Leaves Jail Monday
Night and Shoots Negro.

Monday night of this week about
eight o'clock Sheriff Hunter and
Deputy Rentz found that Sam Hol-
man, a negro who had been trusted
around the Jail, was missing, they
having been busy caring for crazy
woman in jail Holman was in Jail
awaiting trial at court next week, he
having been sent in by Magistrate S.
G. Ray, of Denmark, on a charge of
stealing. Holman lives at Denmark
supposedly, but his home is really
ON the county chain gang, where he
has spent most of his time for sew
eral years past. He was trusty
while on the gang, and as he seemed
more at home in Jail or on the gang
than anywhere else, he was trusted
around the Jail. Nothing Of his
whereabouts could be learned Mon
day night, but early Tuesday morn
ing it was learned that he had gone
to Denmark, where he had shot a ne
gro named Van Evans during the
night.
Deputy Sheriff Rentz left at once
to capture him, but he had left Den
mark Immediately after shooting
Evans. However, Mr.. Rentz kept up
the chase, and we are Informed just
before going to press Wednesday af-
ternoon that Holman has been cap
tured by Mr.. Rentz at Aiken, and
will be brought back tonight.
He will no doubt be tried for muir
der, as it is said that the negro Evans
whom he shot will die. 1t seems
that Holman escaped Monday night
by taking a horse and buggy belong
ing to the livery stables of Mr.. j. ].
Smoak, the turnout being hitched
near the jail, he abanooning the team
at Denmark, where it vas recovered
the next morning. He then went to
the, house of a negro woman and
some time during the night Van
Evans came to the door and on his
attempting to enter, Holman shot
him with a pistol, the ball lodging
in his liver, and it is stated that he
will die from the wound.

of which appeared in last Tuesdays

Sanitarium, just one week to a day

Prof. Goggans Loses an Eye.

DR.. Whaley, of Columbia, assisted
by other surgeons, removed the left
eye Of Prof. John C.. Goggans, Jr., at
the Columbia hospital on Saturday

the removal was necessary to save the

The Election in Bamberg.

Very few people seemed to realize
that a general election was going on
here Tuesday. Only 10 votes were
polled at the Bamberg box, and OF
these ]. F. Byrnes for congress re-
ceived 102 votes. Not a single ne
gro voted. On the vote on amend
ment for another justice of the State
Supreme Court, the vote was eleven
for the amendment and sixty-seven
against, so it will be noted that the
people took the advice of this news
paper. We understand that about
sixty or more votes were polled at
Denmark, and the congressman lost
some votes there.

Petitions Being Circulated.

Last week Mr.. L. N. Bellinger COM
pleted the survey of the part of War
ren township which wants to annex
itself to Bamberg county, and he
states that the territory to be annexed
contains about seventy-five square
miles, and the best information we
can get is that in this territory are
about 275 qualified voters.
Messrs. ]. NJ. King and P. J. Lis
ton, of the committee on survey,
were in the city Monday and they
took back with them the new pc
titions to be signed asking for the
election. New petitions were made
necessary, although the old ones con-
tanned sufficient names for ordering
the election, because of the fact that
the lines had been changed by the
survey. These petitions are now be-
ing circulated, and the governor will
soon be asked to order the election,
in order that the matter may be
taken up by the coming general as
sembly.
The people down there are enthu-
siastic and state that the election will
be carried without question, as only
a few in the territory are opposed to
the annexation to Bamberg. So the
people of Walterboro and our friend
Smoak may as well quit kicking and
let the good people of Warren town.
ship come along. They can't keep
them from coming, so there is no use
to gnaw a file.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
Government Planning a Gigantic
Blow at Monster Evil.

Government tlannlnS Ul&dAGiC
Blow at Monster Evil.
The government of the United
States has turned its whole detective
machinery toward unearthing and
destroying the white slave traffic, as
it exists between the States or be-
tween foreign countries and the
United States.
1t is the plan Of the department
of Justice to make one sweep on all
the large cities at once, and strike,
if possible, one staggering blow at
the traffic.
The governments authority comes
from the Mann act, imposing upon
the interstate aspects of the crime
penalties of five years Imprisonment
or fine of $4,000.
According to information already
received at Washington, Pittsburg is
the centre of the trade, though clews
discovered in Chicago make that city
an important substation in the circu-
lat;on of girls and women through
the country.
The first swoop, it is intended, will
be started simultaneously in New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chi
cago and San Francisco.
Officers at ports of entry have
been asked to increase their vigilance
and to inspect female immigrants
with peculiar care. Meanwhile Of
ficers at inland cities will watch and
report the movements of all suspects.
In New York some months ago
District Attorney Whitman made an
effort to trap some of the men back
of the trade in that city, but they
escaped. The only way to capture
the offenders, according to the
agents of the Department of Justice,
is to have the authorities of all the
large cities act together.
The government agents will not
try to "clean up" the various cities.
They will simply go after the leaders
of the syndicate.
In Chicago some arrests have been
made. but these are only the begin
ming of the general crusade, it is
said. In several cases it was found
that men in that city had brought
women from France.
Some of the lines developed in
Chicago by these arrests can be trac-
ed throughout the country.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

"My little son, when about year
and a half old. began to have. sores
come out on his face. had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about
year and half Of suffering he grew
so bad that | had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got cake OF
Cuticura Soap and box Of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end Of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
OF any kind since. can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only one cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
Il am a nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam
lilies and it is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shell
