On Trail of Dynamiters.

Oakland, CAL, Oct. 4.-Answer-
ing the description of the launch
Peerless, which is supposed to have
carried the dynamite to blow up the
Los Angeles Times building from
Giant, the launch Pastime was dis
covered in Oakland harbor this
morning. The police believe that
the capture of the men who hired
the Pastime on Friday, September
20, will mean the arrest of those re-
sponsible for the explosion IN the
Southern California city.
On September 20, two men, giving
the names of Bryce and Perry, rent
ed the launch Pastime from Douglas
A. Burroughs, of Oakland. They
paid a $500 deposit and gave a lib
eral rental when they returned the
boat on September 26. Bryce and
his companion answer the descrip-
ton given the police of Bryson and
Morris, who purchased the explosive
at Giant, California.
The boat showed the effects of
hard usages. On the bow were the
marks of tacks as if a sign Of metal
letters had been tackled over the
name "Pastime.
This leads to the belief that the
name Peerless was used to dis
guise the boat.

L. ID. c. Meeting.

The Francis Marion Bamberg
Chapter, U. D. c., will hold it's Oc-
tober meeting next Tuesday after
noon, the 18th, at 4 O'Clock, with
with Miss Annie Lou Byrd, at her
home on Midway avenue. The meet
ing promises to be a most interest
ing one, and the members are urged
to be present-and those members
who have not filled out their appli-
cation blanks, will please do so, and
hand to the registrar at this meet
ing. This is necessary, as that Off
Ger wishes to send all applications at
the same time to the State registrar
and apply for all certificates of mem
bership at the same time.
Interest in the monument is on
the increase. Out-of-the-county sons
and friends are manifesting mate
rial interest, and very soon the men
of the county will have the opportu-
nifty to show to the Daughters of the
Confederacy who are laboring for
this belated yet beloved work, how
enthusiastic they are in behalf of the
monument.
Veterans, sons of veterans, and
friends of veterans, be ready when
you are approached for contribu-
ton! And, as this is the only time
in your life that you will have the
privilege of giving to Bamberg
county Confederate monument, give
as generously of your gold and silver
and labors, as you and your COM
rades and your fathers gave of valor
and heroism. B.

THE SOUTH EDISTO PROJECT.
Citizens Along the Route are Heart.
lily in Earnest.

Capt. James H. flaming, the pop
ular Springfield attorney, was here
yesterday on business connected
with the court of common pleas.
When asked by the Sun man about
the project for opening up the South
Edisto river, he showed much enthu-
siasm over the proposed enterprise,
and said the trip would be made
down the river at very early date.
The exact time was to be fixed by
Capt. Adams, the U. S. engineer at
Charleston, and that Congressman
Lever would be in the party.
The tentative plan, which is sub
ject to the time which Capt. Adams
can give to the investigation, is to
have smoker" at Springfield one
evening, and then go down the river
in ordinary boats in the morning,
reaching Hoffman landing that after
noon where the business men of
Blackville will entertain the party at
a big fish fry. Then resume the
journey down the river the next
morning reaching point near Bam-
berg that evening, when the business
men of that town will take charge of
the party. From there the trip will
be made the next morning to Guig-
nard's landing.
At each of the meeting places
above stated, the business men will
show to Capt. Adams the business
side of the proposition. AS to the
feasibility of making the South Ed
isto navigable, Capt. Adams will de-
eide for himself after due inspection
and survey.-Orangeburg Sun.

Suspends Negro Pastor.

Following charges of forgery
brought against Rev. C. K. Brown,
pastor of Wesley NJ. E. church, a
negro church, situated on the corner
of Gervais and Sumter streets, the
pastor has been suspended. The sus-
pension was made at meeting held
in the church yesterday afternoon.
Rev. E. D. Burroughs, of Charleston,
district superintendent, presided at
the meeting. Columbia is in the Or
angeburg district and this charge is
under the supervision of Rev. E. D.
Burroughs. At the meeting yester-
day an investigation was ordered
made and a report submitted at the
annual conference to be held in
Greenville, November %.
1t is charged that Brown forged
the Endorsements of six of the nine
trustees of the church to several
notes, the six constituting majority
of the board of trustees, and dis
counting the notes devoted the
money so secured to his own use.
The alleged amount involved is s63.
Some days ago Brown was directed
by the officers of the church to va
cate the church parsonage and not to
occupy the pulpit again. Another
preacher has been put in charge of
the church. Brown, it is said, is out
of the city. He was not present at
the meeting held yesterday after
noon.
No criminal proceedings have yet
been instituted.-COlumbia State.

Library and Reading-Room for
Bamberg.

Ever since l have been in Bam-
berg l have felt the need of library
and reading-room for our young
people-and older ones as we'll. 1t
is now possible, with little effort
and money, to have such a library,
one that would be the source OF
much help and enjoyment.
We have here in school splendid
little library, which with a few ad-
ditions, could be made to fill a large
place in supplying our needs along
these lines. We have a large, we'll
lighted room, down stairs, with a
separate street entrance, and which
would be we'll suited for this pur-
pose. My plan is to fit this room up,
nicely and comfortably-putting in
tables, chairs, lights, etc.; put in all
the books We have and can get; sub
scribe for the leading magazines and
papers; and maintain good, work
able library and reading-room. The
school will furnish a librarian, keep
ing the library open in the day for
our students and at night for the
citizens of the town.
The cooperation of all citizens is
invited. One hundred or one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars will do
this work in good shape, and give us
a library to which any of US might be
proud to invite our friends. Let us
begin at once. Leave your subscrip-
ton at The Herald office.

ROBBED BY NEGRO.
Aiken County Farmer Relieved of
$50 En- Route Home.

Williston, Sept. 29.-Mr. Jim
Bonnett, of the Windsor section, was
relieved of about $50 Tuesday even
ing in a very daring manner.
Mr.. Bonnet sold bale of cotton,
and after making a few purchases,
among them some blind tiger
whiskey, it is said, purchased in this
supposed prohibition town, started
for home. Some time after leaving
he returned to report to the police
that he had ben robbed, but he was
too far gone from the effects of the
blind tiger" so it is stated, to give
very connected account of how it
happened, but from what he did say
it seems that about two miles out of
Williston, a negro asked to ride,
which permission was readily given,
but when the negro wanted to drive,
this request Mr.. Bonnet refused,
then it was that the negro threw
him over into the bottom of the
wagon, going through his pockets,
and taking about $50. Mr.. Bonnet
was unable to make any resistance
whatever, and could give no clew as
to who and what his assailent look
ed like.
Yesterday merchant in Williston
was teasing negro, and was very
serious about it, wanting to know
what he meant by robbing Mr.. Bon
nett, and to all the negro's denials
would tell him that knew all about
it. So we'll did he play his part that
the negro finally thought he meant
it, and said that II did not rob
anybody, Duke Allen done that. y
Mr.. Owens and Mr.. J. G. flaming
went out at once and rounded up
Duke Allen, who, when asked what
he did with the money he took from
Mr.. Bonnet, made no question about
it, but took them to the place where
he had it buried.

The Equal Franchise Society.

Mrs. Mackey and Mrs. Belmont -
says Anna Steese Richardson in Wo-
mans Home Companion for October,
'have that which the women who
brought the suffrage movement into
existence lacked, the tremendous
power of wealth and the prestige of
that social position which wealth
commands. The story of their adop-
tion of the anemic child is not with
out dramatic incident.
Mrs. Mackay has always been a
striking figure. Armed with the
Mackey millions, a clever wit, con-
siderable originality, remarkable ex-
ecutive ability and a capacity for
work which would put many self
supporting woman to shame, she
could wage any fight of her choos-
ing.
"She started with the schools of
Roslyn, smuggling at the foot of Har-
Dor Hill, the magnificent Mackay es-
tate on Long Island. Those schools
were within few hours of New
York, but they were ten years be-
hind the times. Mrs. Mackay had
herself elected to the school board.
There was little money at the COM
mand of the board, but that did not
bother her. When funds we're lack
ing she wrote out check. Lucky
children of Roslyn, Long Island!
They soon had better schools than
city children and fairy godmother
who scattered prize money worth
winning.
But in time Mrs. Mackay found
that things were needed which
checks could not buy, conditions
existed which even money could not
alter. Then she went up to Albany
and talked public-school conditions
with the commissioner of education
and the governor. She came back to
New York city and harried members
of the board of education with her
very inconvenient and often unan-
swerable questions. She went to
London and studied the suffrage
movement in it's militant phase. Then
she returned to New York and or
ganized society as she thought would
best advance the interests of equal
suffrage in the United States"

Placed Bomb by House.

After placing a bomb beside the
residence of Mrs. Potter Palmer a.
Chicago and cutting his coat int
shreds with buthcher knife piercing
his skin, Fred Wahlenmeyer, q
years old, attempted Friday night tt
gain entrance to the mansion. He
was arrested.
Wahlenmeyer demanded an audi
ence with Mrs. Palmer, but the
watchman, who was the first person
encountered, summoned the police
bomb on the side of the house and o1
having seen another man placing the
bomb on the side of tn hous and o1
struggling with him. Later, how
ever, the prisoner confessed to hav
ing put the explosive there himself
and to having cut his clothes to beal
out the narrative. Mrs. Palmer was
at home at the time and the whole
household was thrown into excite
ment by the proximity of death or in,
jury from the bomb.
Wahlenmeyer was questioned fol
hours by the police, but refused to
explain his motive, hiding behind the
expression: why did l do it? Oh
just for instance"
The police will question Mrs
Palmer in regard to reports that she
had received threatening letters, in
the effort to discover the mans reas-
on for the act. 1t is believd that
Wahlenmeyer is not insane.
The police are proceeding on the
theory that he thought to gain a re-
ward for having saved" the house
and it's occupants from "some mys-
terious bomb-thrower" and that his
mutilation of his clothes was to sub
stantiate this claim.

Dissolves Exchange Then Rescinds
Order.


Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 3.-Half an
hour after Judge E. E. Porterfeld
had dissolved the Kansas City pro-
duce exchange and fined three of its
members an aggregate of $500 to-
day, the court set aside both the or
der and the fines.
When the first court action was
taken, none of the defendants to the
suits had a legal representative in
court. Within a few minutes after
Judge Porterfield had fixed the pen
alties, however, w. S. Cowherd, at
torney for the exchange, appeared
and made strenuous protest against
the action. He said he had not un-
derstood that the final hearing had
been set for to-day. Judge Porter
field then set the case for hearing to-
morrow.
Fines assessed to-day were: Ar
mour Packing company, $500; w.
L. Crush, commission company,
$500, and the Hurst Produce & Com
mission company, $500.
For four years the custom has
been for the exchange to meet daily
at a local hotel and fix the the price
of foodstuffs, it is said. A few
months ago nine members Of the
organization were indicted charged
with operating trust.

Tries to Board Moving Car.

Mccormick, Oct &c. A. Talbert,
who runs one of the livery stables
here, in an effort to catch the after
noon train for Augusta after it was
moving, was thrown violently to the
ground alongside the track and sus-
tanned several painful wounds from
the trucks of the cars. One of the
wounds is very ugly, being in the
back Of the head. It is considered,
however, not serious.
