THE WAGES OF SIN.
Young Man Who RObs Uncle Sam
Lands in Pen.

After meteoric career, whose law
ish expenditures rivaled the fabled
prodigality of Goal Oil Johnny" :"
Edward Valentine Lee, erstwhile pay
masters clerk on board the United
States battleship Georgia, having
confessed his crime, will soon take up
his residence in the federal prison at
Atlanta to serve a term of several
years.
By a strange irony of fate, Lee,
who only three months ago, startled
Atlanta as a young Croesus, living in
palatial suite at Atlanta's best
hotel, showering jewels, dinners, the
atre parties and auto rides on pret-
ty manicure girl, will now return to
this very city to be clothed in con-
vict gray and expiate in cell at the
federal penitentiary the crime by
which he obtained the gold that
burned his fingers. ..,
Lees career as spendthrift has
few parallels in chronology. Scarce
had he looted the cruisers safe on
February II and disappeared from
the fleet before mysterious individ-
ual of the name of A. w. Carmichael
commenced a meteoric career as
prince of spenders" in the cities OF
the Southern Atlantic seaboard. This
seeming millionaire endeared him
self to the hearts of hotel mattresses,
bellboys and chauffers by passing out
s1O0 bills as though they were cigar
coupons.
Early in his wanderings he turned
up in Atlanta, Ca, where in a few
short days he distributed sufficient
money to make him known through
out the continent. He presented a
lady manicurist with $1,000 bank
note for the pleasure of her company
during a taxicab ride and tipped the
chauffer with the comparative mod
crate sum of 500. The waiter who
served his table received $50 after
each meal an an incentive to prompt
service. A bellboy with jug of ice
water invariably drew $40 bank
note for his trip upstairs.
Tie publicity that this lavishness
brought him made quick move nee
essary, and young Lee with the gov
ernment detectives one Jump In the
rear, changed his quarters success
sively to Washington, New York,
Philadelphia, and several Southern
cities, becoming acquainted on the
route with a Miss Audrey Kelsey,
who consented to share the young
spendthrift's fortune.
In March they went to Europe,
where he was easily trailed by the
readiness with which he dispensed
his spoils. On June 8 he sailed for
Quebec, where he and his companion
spent several days in sightseeing.
A little later Miss Kelsey evinced a
desire to visit her parents In Buha-
10, and Carmichael, with a reckless
ness that had characterized his
course after the theft, accompanied
her. He was arrested in Buffalo on
June 21, and few days later was
married to the young woman who
had been bis companion during his
extensive wanderings.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.


Mr.. O. P. Jordan has our thanks
for some very nice peaches.
Several car of watermelons were
shipped from this place last and thif
week.
Watch the date on the label Of
your paper and renew promptly wher
your subscription expires.
The Bamberg business mems
league is to meet Friday of next
week. Officers are to be elected and
other important business transacted
Let every member be present.
The examination for a vacant
scholarship in Clemson college was
held at the court house last Friday
by the county board of education
There were seven applicants.
The prospects are fine for an un.
usually large attendance at the Car
Isle Fitting School this fall. Parents
are realizing the fine training given
their boys and girls at this institu-
ton.
We hope that the fire companies
will keep up their practice during
the summer. The department should
be in good shape to respond when
their services are needed, and this
can be done only by constant prac-
tice.
The young men of the band are
practicing two nights each week now
and are progressing nicely. A con-
cert is to be given at the Fitting
School auditorium the evening of the
2sth instant for the benefit of the
band.
We received last week from our
friend, CO.. S. Brooker, an illustrated
post card containing number of
views of the royel gorge, Pixies
Peak, etc. The card was sent from
Yellowstone Park. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brooker are now on an extended tour
through the West and Canada, and
they will not return home until Au-
gust 5th.
~ The annual reunion of Confederate
veterans is to be held in Columbia
next month. It is to be hoped that
the camp at this place will call a
meeting soon and elect delegates who
viii attend in order that a good
showing may be made for this county
at the reunion. Very few of the vet
erans from this county attended the
reunion in Spartanburg last year.
Prof. J. c.. Guilds will deliver two
lectures in Barnwell county on the
subject of Christian education on
next Sunday. He will deliver a lee
ture in Barnwell on Sunday morning
at the Methodist church at i O'Clock,
and that afternoon at 4:30 O'Clock
he will deliver a similar lecture at
the Methodist church at ,Blackville.
The public is cordially invited to
both lectures. Prof Guilds is Head
Master of the Carlisle Fitting School
at Bamberg.-Barnwell Sentinel.

TOURISTS BAGGAGE RULING
The 500 Exemption Applies to
Personal Effects.

Washington. Feb. i5-Collector Loeb had
conference to-day with Assistant Sece-
tary Curtis at the Treasury about the new
personal baggage regulations. which will
soon he promulgated by the customs au-
thorities.
The new regulation will leave no oppor-
tunity FOR varied construction as. n IS
claimed, the present one does. II is under
stood that those who have been claiming
that the presen: rule allows a returning
tourist TO bring in free Of duty 500 worth
Of anything will lose their argument. The
new regulation will limit the exemption
strictly 10 personal effects.
