the construction being first-class.
The exchange will soon be ready
for business, and the office will be
upstairs in the F. H. Copeland build
ing. Connection will be made with
the Bell Telephone Co. and Carolina
lines, the latter going over Hampton

be a great thing for Ehrhardt and

farmers near the town are now ar
ranging to put in farmers lines,
and soon that section will be in touch
with the outside world. Nothing
helps the farmer so much as tele-

our friends are SO progressive.

A Narrow Escape.

Messrs. Alex Barton and Henry @.
Jennings were both painfully injur-
ed Tuesday morning in falling from
a tower at the residence of Mr. R. c..
Jones in this city. They were en-
Gagged in taking down a steel tank
preparatory to putting up a new and
larger one, and while the old tank
was being windlassed down the floor
of the tower gave way, precipitating
them to the ground, part of the mate
rial of the flooring falling on them.
They were both unconscious when
they were taken out from under the
debris, but medical aid was sum-
moned at once and they were given
attention and later removed to their
homes.
Mr.. Jennings is painfully bruised
and his skin is torn off in num-
ber Of places and he received several
cuts, but he is not injured internally
and will no doubt be all right in a
week or so. At this time the extent
of Mr.. Barton's injuries cannot be
fully determined, but it is hoped by
his friends that he is not hurt seri-
ously. It is feared that his back is
injured, but this may not prove to be
the case. It was certainly narrow
escape from death for both. The
fall was % feet, and then to have
the timbers fall on them makes their
ESCAPE indeed a narrow one.

HELD UP ON COUNTRY ROAD.
Aged Man Attacked and Robbed by
Unknown Parties

Darlington, Aug. 16.-Henry Car
land, an old man, who lives near the
mineral spring, just out of Darling
ton, was attacked last night two
miles south of town and severely
bruised, and his assailant made away
with $4.90 which he had on his per-
son. It was about dark and Mr..
Garland noticed his mule shy in the
road and was in the act of urging
the animal on when some one struck
him in the back of the head. He did
not know any more until about 8
o'clock this morning, when he was
found by an old negro who knew
him and who carried him home in q
semi-conscious condition. To-day he
is out, but was suffering considerable
pain. No arrests have been made.

A Trip to Japan.

The illustrated lecture, Japan
and the Japanese" to be given next
Sunday evening at Trinity Methodist
church, will be unusually interesting.
Nearly one hundred views will be
shown, and the scenes from the Sun
rise Kingdom will make up an even
ing of great attraction.
Last Sunday evening very large
crowd was present to see the "Shad-
ows of a Great City," and the views
were pronounced the best that have
been shown. The lecture with views
next Sunday night promises to
eclipse even those shown last week.
The matter of money has not been
emphasized at all at the lectures, and
it is not the purpose of those in
charge to stress that phase of the
matter, for the lectures are entirely
free to all. However, it is desired
that sufficient be given to pay the
actual expenses of the lectures, and
this amounts to a little more than
has been received.
The fifth lecture will be given Sun
day night; after that the lectures
will be given on Friday nights, COM
ing about twice a month.
A cordial welcome is extended to
every one; among those present last
Sunday were a number from the
country. 1t is hoped that more will
take advantage Of these lectures.
It has been arranged now so that
the Sunday-school annex can be
used for viewing these illustrations
and this will permit even larger
crowds to obtain seats than have beer
present before.

Death of G. W. Hughes.

Mr.. G. w. Hughes, prominent
and respected citizen of the Ehrhardt
section, died Sunday afternoon, after
an illness of several weeks. The
burial took place at Pleasant Hill
church Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Hughes was about ffty-fve
years old, and leaves a wife and two
children, as well as other relatives.
He was brother of Mrs. NJ. l..
Rice, of Mt. Pleasant, and Mr.. L. F.
Hughes, of Brunson. He was a good
man and good citizen, and will be
missed. He weighed over three hun
dred pounds, and enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the largest man in
this part of the State, and his heart
was just as big as his body. He was
always ready and anxious to do a
favor to any one. The writer feels
sense of personal loss in his death,
as he was our good friend.

DESPERATE NEGRO CAUGHT.
Bloodhounds Run Down Murderer
in Aiken County.

Aiken, Aug. 19.-John Lee, a ne
gro, was run down with bloodhounds
to-day in the Talatha section and
captured by Rural Policeman Holley,
who was assisted by posse Of citi-
zens. Lee is charged with killing
Ike Sanders, another negro, by chop
ping him in the head with an axe.
Sanders died this morning.
When Lee committed the crime he
set fire to the house in which the
murder was committed, doubtless in
the hopes of burning Sanders body,
and then, still crazed by insanity and
jealousy, he fired several out-houses.
The fire attracted the attention of
the people of the community and
soon a large crowd was congregated
on the scene. Taking advantage Of
the excitement, Lee went to the barn
of J. Morgan Holley and stole fine
horse from his stables and escaped.
He is said to have stopped at another
negro house and attempted to set
fire to it but was discovered and
chased away. He left the horse and
took to the woods and succeeded in
eluding the officers and citizens who
gave chase until this morning. The
crime was committed early Friday
morning. He took refuge in a
swamp, where he was caught.
It is stated that Sanders went to
Lees home Thursday night and was
sitting on the steps when Lee went
to the wood pile, got an axe, came
back and when Sanders turned his
head away from Lee he deliberately
chopped him in the head, crushing
his skull. Lee then turned upon his
wife, who was sick in bed, and, drag
ging her into the yard, gave her
several severe blows with large
stick. She succeeded in getting away
from him and ran to a neighbor's
house for assistance. In her absence
Lee applied fire to the house.
When captured Lee was half naked
and wild. He talks incoherently. 1t
is thought that he believed Sanders
to be intimate with his wife.

To Help Denmark.

Tuesday of every week we send
Mr.. H. NJ. Frier, who is now with
The Herald, to Denmark and he
spends the day there. His purpose
is to gather and write the news of
Denmark and to give that town
newspaper publicity in every way pos
sible. Nothing helps a town more
than being represented in a newspa-
per, and we want Denmark to have
a place in the picture, showing its
growth and progress. The Herald
is published in the interest of Bam-
berg county, and every town in the
county should be represented in it's
columns each week. We would be
glad to send representative to
every town around us every week,
but that is impossible.
We hope the citizens of Denmark
generally will appreciate our send
ing Mr.. Frier there every Tuesday,
and will cooperate with him in CIV
ing him items of news, etc. He will
also receipt for renewals and be glad
to receive new subscribers, as well
as Job work. This departure of ours
is expensive, and it depends on the
support we receive in the undertak-
ing as to whether it is continued.
Give us the news and a reasonable
return for our efforts and we feel
sure that the advertising Denmark
will get will be of great benefit to
the town. We want to help you, and
all we ask is that we do not do it at
loss.

Letter from MIR. Owens.

Our friend, Mr.. J. R. Owens, has
been spending some time in Birm-
ingham, and we take the liberty OF
publishing the following letter from
him, although not intended for pub
lication:
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 16, 1911.
Friend Knight: I have been wait
ing to get something interesting to
write about, but this place seems to
be so very uninteresting that it is
difficult to find anything to write
about. Birmingham lately has be-
come a large city. It has taken in
all of the surrounding towns: Ems
ley, Pratt City, Covey, and several
others. All of the industries spring
from the iron and coal plants, con-
seuuently when the iron business is
dull everything else is the same.
There is hot campaign going on
here about the whiskey question,
namely: dispensary or license, and
as far as I can see license will win.
Nearly all of the business men favor
license. Hobson spoke in favor OF
prohibition here two night ago.
The only noticeable place in Ems
ley is the Averett Pharmacy. 1t is
a large place and splendidly equip
ped and seems to do large business.
They have twenty-five employees.
Culpepper Exum is the president
of the city commission. He is a
Charleston man, and seems to be
very highly thought of here.
But now let me say something:
Bamberg is far more interesting than
any of the towns that have visited
around here, and as for hospitality
and cordiality, why, there is no COM
parison at all. And, although this
is a prohibition city, they tell me
that a blind tiger exists behind every
bunch of bananas that you see.
I am also informed that there are
about thirty thousand foreigners
here. besides a number of negroes,
who seem to be very insolent. So
there, you have my impressions OF
Alabama. I leave here Saturday fo1
Johnston. With regards, am,
Your friend,
J. R. OWENS.

The cotton mill here will start
operations again next Monday morn

over four months, it shutting down
about the middle of May. 1nstruc-

BETTER HUSBANDS AT HOME
Mrs. Fairbanks Disapproves Marriage
to Foreigners.

Los Angeles, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Charles
w. Fairbanks, wife OF the former vice
president of the United States, in an
interview here severely criticises
American girls who marry foreigners.
Mrs. Fairbanks remarks were made
during a discussion of the Gould
Decies wedding in New York. She is
quoted thus:
81 will say frankly that | do not ap-
prove of the habit our American girls
have of going to Europe for husbands.
While | do not like to criticise the
men they choose-they have always
been very gracious to mel do not
think them as honorable as these girls
could find at home. Especially is this
true in regard to their marital rela
tions. An American girl who marries
a foreigner in a way has refrigerated
She is accepting ideals of life which
American men have outgrown fol-
something decidedly better"

ADMITS THE MURDER
OF FORTY PERSONS
Russian Doctor Made Profess
sion Of Poisoning.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 3.-There was
an unusual occurrence at the session
of the trial for murder of Count
O'Brien de Lassy and the notorious
poisoner, DR.. Pantchenko, the latter
being called upon to plead second
time. He pleaded guilty as before.
The count is accused of having en-
ployed the doctor to murder his broth
er-in-law, Count Vassilli Bouturiin the
heir to estates of an estimated value
of $3,5OO,O0O, in order that the prop
erty might be inherited by Countess
de Lassy.
the case because OF the wholesale
confession made by Patchenko. Every
mysterious death of recent years is
recalled and there are rumors that the
poisoner may have been engaged to
cause the death of members of the
royal family. He has admitted that
he made q business of killing for hire,
heirs, rivals in love, insistent creditors
and, in fact, any undesirable persons
whose enemy was prepared to pay
iliberally for their sudden taking off.
The poison doctor according to the
police, has admitted some forty
deaths, his fees running as high as
S25O,000 for a single assassination.
His method was to inoculate the pa
i tient with cholera bacilli after he had
ibeen called to the bedside in his pro-
lfessional capacity. He Is now credited
by some with having originated the
cholera epidemic of few years ago.

OANvlLLE INDICTMENTS DUE
Many True Bills on Vote Selling
Charges Expected.

Danyille, H., Feb. 3.-Ssate's Attor.
ney Lewman said that the evidence
given before the grand jury to date
was all written and ready so that the
jury may review it at any time and
begin voting indictments.
Fred Jahnke, local politician and
prominent worker at the polls at every
election for several years, was the first
witness of the day He was followed
by A. K. Samuels, vice president of the
Second National bank.
1t is believed that between fifty and
one hundred indictments will be re
turned when the jury makes its first
report.
