AS announced in this paper last
last week, the burial of Mrs. G. P.
Harmon took place at South-end
cemetery last Thursday morning, in
the presence of large number OF
friends. The services were conduct

O'Neal, H. C. Folk, Miles J. Black,
C. B. Free, and DR.. Geo. F. Hair.
The floral tributes were many and
handsome, as Mrs. Harmon's many
friends, knowing her great love for
flowers, sent handsome offerings.
Her mother and Mr.. Harmon's broth
er, and other relatives, were here to
attend the funeral. Her mother will
remain here for some time and keep
house for Mr., Harmon.

Preliminary Held.

1t will be remembered that few
weeks ago Sam Tyler, negro, was
shot and killed on the Price place
near town while out hunting with
his son and two other negroes, Clar-
ence Mcmillan and Otis Brabham.
The coroner's inquest returned a YER
dict that Tyler came to his death at
the hands of unknown parties, the
testimony being that all the negroes
fired at a rabbit and it was not
known which one fired the fatal shot.
On this showing, of course, none OF
the negroes were held, it seeming
clear that it was an accident.
However. warrant was sworn out
by a negro named Grant this week
for Mcmillan, before Magistrate H.
.. Free, and a preliminary hearing
was held Tuesday, the result of which
was that Mcmillan was held for trial
at the March term of court on the
charge of murder.
Sam Tyler, Jr., and Otis Brabham
were also arrested on the same
charge, and are now in Jail. A-pre-
liminary in their case will be held to-
day (Thursday.)

Penalty Law Upheld.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The South
Carolina law subjecting railroad to
a fine of $50 for failure to pay dam
age judgments within 40 day if on in
astate, and 80 days if on interstate
shipments were to-day upheld by the
United States supreme court.
Messrs. Mazurky, Won Lehtfehe
and others from lower South Carolina
brought suits against the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad for the $50 pen
atty, winning their cases in the mag
istrate courts. The railroad appealed
to the State supreme court. The
shippers won there, and the railroad
company appealed to the United
States supreme court, which to-day
sustained the decision of the State
supreme court and ordered the rail-
road company to pay.

CHARGED WITH RAPE.
Negro Lodged in Jail For Assaulting
Little Negro Girl.

Magistrate J. C. Copeland, of Ehr-
hardt, came to town late Tuesday
night bringing negro man named
Eldon Smith, whom he lodged in jail.
The negro is charged with rape, and
there seems to be no doubt but that
he is the guilty party.
The crime was committed Monday
afternoon about five o'clock at a
house on the plantation of MIR. W. G.
Best near Olar, and the victim was a
little negro girl about ten years old.
Magistrate Copeland says she suf-
fered severely from the attack, and
was painfully injured. The negroes
of that section were indignant over
the crime, and threats were made to
kill Smith, but the magistrate pre-
vented any trouble by capturing the
wretch. Smith lives on Mr.. Otis
Ritter's plantation, in the Kearse Sec
ton, but he had gone to the house
where the girl lived. The child's
mother is dead, but she has a step
mother. Smith will no doubt get the
full penalty of the law If proven
guilty.

Father Lived Here.

Mr.. ]. E. Blount, the young man
who was killed last week in rail-
road wreck over in Georgia, was the
youngest son of Mr.. J. E. Blount, of
Bamberg. The young man was a
travelling salesman, and was on the
road most of the time, was why he
was not known by many Bamberg
people. The body was carried
through Bamberg last Thursday, and
the burial was at St. George Friday.
What makes the death of the young
man unusually sad was the fact that
he was soon to be married, and was
on his way to visit his fiance when
he was killed. She was the first to
reach him, and the first news Of the
accident came to Mr.. Blount here in
a telegram from the young lady. The
telegram was delayed in transmits
sion, and there will no doubt be suit
against the telegraph company.

Lively Runaway.

There was lively runaway at the
depot Monday afternoon. A horse
hitched to a wagon became frighten-
ed at a passing automobile while a
trunk was being loaded on the wagon
and dashed off across the railroad.
He ran into the front fence at the
court house square and broke it down
and from there ran across the lawn
in front of the court house toward
the Mayflower Inn. There he en-
countered another fence, and in try
ing to clear this he became entangled
in the wire and fell. He was extri-
Gated from the fence with some diff
Guilty, but the animal was not hurt.
The wagon was broken up some.

good essays that were worthy of pub
lication. A nice crowd listened to
them also.
On account of the weather, small

Sunday, especially at night. The
pastor preached on ''The Only Relief
for Human Care and Anxiety" Sun
day morning. At night Rev. E. A.
Mcdowell, travelling representative of
our State paper, the Baptist Courier,
dropped in on US and preached at
night, a splendid sermon to the little
crowd. Sorry more could not have
heard it. He found the field pretty

stayed until the II o'clock train; but
in the meantime got some renewals
and new subscribers.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
Mrs. Marcia Silver is Suing the
Southern Road.

Mrs. Marcia Silver, of Augusta,
through her attorneys, c. H. and
R. S. Cohen, Saturday filed a suit
for $4,000 against the Southern
Railroad for damages. She alleges
in her petition that she was illeg-
ally arrested by an employee of the
road at Branchville, S. G.
1t is alleged in the petition that
Mrs. Silver was on her way from
Charleston to Augusta and at
Branchville, a lady stated that she
had lost $40. The night watchman
for the road charged Mrs. Silver's
little boy with having the money
and searched him and later searched
Mrs. Silver's suit case.
She alleged that she was subject
ed to much embarrassment and that
she has been damaged to the extent
of $4,000, and the suit against the
railway has sbeen brought to recover
that amount. 1t will be tried no
doubt in the United States Court at
Charleston or Columbia.
This case has been fully reported
in this paper before, and it will be
remembered that the money suppos-
ed to have been lost was at last
found in the satchel Of the young
lady who thought she had lost it.
The Lady was young school teacher
and was also passing through the
town of Branchville.
Sometime ago she published a
card in this paper giving her side
of the unfortunate affair, in which
she admitted substantially the facts
as set forth in Mrs. Silver's petition
but denied that anyone had accused
that lady of stealing the money. The
case is an interesting one and will
be watched with interest.-Orange-
burg Times and Democrat.

CAIRO UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Three Hundred Militiamen Patrol
Streets of Illinois Town.

Cairo, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-The state
ments of the four negro special depu-
ties at the coroner's investigation of
the killing of Alexander Halliday,
that they fired several shots each into
the mob demanding admission to the
county Jail Thursday night served. to
renew anti-negro agitation here, and
the situation tonight is acute.
With three hundred militiamen pa
trolling the streets the city is practi-
cally under martial law.
The coroner's jury, all business
men, could hardly restrain them
selves when the negroes told how they
fired on white men. The jury tried
to ascertain which negro fired the
steel bullet which killed Halliday.
but none of them admitted using a
Swiss rife which it was claimed one
of them had. The investigation ad-
journed until Monday.
The SIX negroes VINO assisted tne
sheriff are marked men now that
their identity is known. Protests
even from most conservative whites
have been heard.
Mrs. Rose Maloney, whose pocket
book was snatched by the negro
whom the mob was after Thursday
night, had a second encounter with
negro to-day. She lost diamond
brooch. which a negro found. She
went to the negro's house and
secured the broach, but he said he
did not know it was hers. Drawing
revolver from her muff she placed
it's muzzle in the negro's stomach
and made him confess that he knew
it was hers.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Bamberg People to Neglect.

The great danger Of kidney trou-
bles is that they get a firm hold be-
fore the sufferer recognizes them.
Health Is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless
succession. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with the GER
tain and safe remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which has cured people
right here in Bamberg.
D. J. Cain, Church St., Bamberg,
s. c., says:
II suffered from kidney trouble
for two or three years and during the
past six months my condition became
quite serious. I often had spells of
backache which were so acute could
not work. I 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 I might
say that was as helpless as child.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed and at times there was an almost
somplete retention. My condition
was critical and all the doctoring I
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 have since felt
so much better in every way that I
cannot praise the remedy too high
ly."

RESTITUTION BY CRANSTON.
Has Paid the State About $1,000 for
''Overcharges."

The Jack Cranston claim against
the dispensary commission has been
settled by the payment of $500.
There was an oyerjudgment against
this company for $1,000. At re-
cent sitting of the commission the
claim of this company for $5,951.50
was wiped out and an overjudgment
found.
The company was represented by
C. E. Dunbar of Augusta, and G.
Duncan Bellinger of Columbia, and
! notice of appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of the COM
| mission was filed with Attorney
General Lyon.
Cranston was a liquor drummer
who was quite conspicuous around
Columbia for number of years but
hasn't been a visitor here since the
investigation began.
| With the settlement of the Jack
| Cranston claim it is probable that
ONLY two claims will be fought out
in the supreme court, that of the
Carolina Glass company of this city
and King & Co. The third appeal is
that of Lanahan & Sons and this COM
pany is now making overtures for set
tlement at basis of so cents on the
dollar.
| The Jack Cranston company was
located in Baltimore and did consid-
cradle business with the old State
dispensary.
