LEGAL NOTICE.

SEALED PROPOSALS addressed to
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-01-12

the negro woman with them. The
woman was captured the night ct
the escape, but it was several days
before Cox and Huntley were cap-
tured.
Confessed Crime.
Huntley and Cox confessed later
that they had entered into compact
with the woman to make their es-
cape at the first opportunity. They
stuffed cotton taken from their mat
tresses into the drain pipe and caused
it to overflow and got the negro wo-
man to call the jailer.
They were tried at the November
term of court and were ably defended
by lawyers appointed by the court.
Cox was given a ten-year sentence
and Mary Jones one of five years.
A crowd of about 100 negroes and
whites loafed around the jail this
morning while the hanging was TAX
ing place, many of them eager to see
the hanging, but could not, as all
views had been screened.
Sheriff Trantham summoned ten
witnesses and four deputies-Willie
Whitaker, first deputy; w. D. Star
ling, second, and Mr.. Heron, third.
The negro passed a restless night,
but showed no signs of breaking
down. This morning he gave out a
statement to the press and to two
negro ministers, Revs. Brown and
Boykin, saying that whiskey, gamb-
ling and women were responsible
for his committing the crime and
said for blacks and whites to avoid
them, as they would soon get the
best of them.
He said that when he struck the
jailer he did not intend to kill him,
but only to stun him.
He said that he was ready to meet
his Jesus and did not fear death.
Made Speech.
Sheriff Trantham read his death
warrant at 1O:3O and placed the
handouts on him. When asked if he
had anything to say he said, Eyes. -
'I want you one and all, to turn
your back on sin and don't let old
Satan lead you wrong, for this IS
what it will bring to you' (pointing
to the rope) While the rope and
black cap were being adjusted he was
continually saying, Lord, save me
this morning."
"Good-bye, Henry" said the sher-
iff.
Goodbye, all of you," said Hunt
ley.
The trap was then sprung. Two
minutes later death was pronounced
by Dr. Dunn and the body was cut
down. 1t will be buried in the pot
ters' field.
Huntley is from North Carolina,
but has been working around Haile's
gold mine and the upper part of this
county for the past year or so. He
was awaiting trial for charge Of
larceny when he killed the jailer.
He was very large negro and was
very uncouth looking and bore a rep
utation as ''mean negro"
Mrs. Cook, the wife of the dead
taller, was present at the hanging
and said that she had come to the
Jail with her mind made up that if
everybody failed she would sprlas
the trap.
Sheriff Trantham and Jailer Rove
had two policemen on the outside OF
the Jail, who kept perfect order
among the morbid crowd. This is
the first hanging that has taken
place in this county for over 70
years.

TO ENLARGE STATE HOUSE.
General Assembly Will be Asked to
Make Appropriations.

Columbia, Jan. 4.-The general
assembly may be in a liberal frame
of mind and it may not be. That
depends on the general makeup of
the members, many, of whom will be
new and untried in legislative halls,
yet there is going to be strong
movement started for the provision
of adequate quarters for the State
officials. AS it is, the State house
is used really for little other than
general assembly purposes. There is
not an officer of the State who is not
crowded for room. At least three
departments of State are forced to
move each year, twice in order to
entertain the legislature. The rec
ords in these Offices are accumulating
and the fear has been expressed that
some day important States records
will be lost in the shift.
All of the officials who are forced
to vacate their offices for the differ
ent committees of the house and SEN
ate have recommended in their an
nual reports that adequate quarters
be provided.

store, about three miles north of
Fort Mill. 1t is said the Grifins were

Can of Lye Thrown.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. S.-With her
face and shoulders scared and SCARED
by the contents of can Of lye that
was thrown in her face last night,
Miss Myrtle Burney lies at her faith
er's home in Oakdale, suburb, and
is probably disfigured for life, while
county detectives are searching for a
man whose description the young wo-
man gives.
Miss Burney was walking from the
Oakdale station to her home Saturday
night with a brother when man ap-
peared from behind a tree and dashed
the contents over her. Instinctively
she closed her eyes, thus saving her
sight. The family is at loss to ex-
plain a reason for the attack.

Though He Spent Restless Night,
Murderer of Camden Jailer Show.
ed No Sign of Weakening.

Camden, Jan. 6.-Milton kiser,
alias Henry Huntley, was hanged
here this morning at the county jail
at about 10:40 for the murder OF
Jailer John Cook.
Last spring Jailer Boone was &C.
livering supper to the prisoners when
he was assaulted by Al. Fields, no.
torious criminal with number OF
aliases, and several other prisoners.
Six of the prisoners escaped and
all were recaptured except Fields,
who is still at large. Jailer Boone
fingered some time as a result Of his
wounds and was finally taken to his
old country home, where he died sev-
eral months later.
Deep Laid Plot.
John Cook was appointed jailer
in the place of Mr.. Boone during the
past summer. While carnival was
in town Mrs. Cook took her children
to the carnival grounds to see bal
loon ascension.
AS soon as Mrs. Cook got away Mr.
Cook was called from his room by
Mary Jones, negro woman, who
told him that the water pipes in the
cell above hers, occupied by Henry
Huntley and Jim Cox, were leaking
and the water was dripping on her
bed
While Jailer Cook was bending
over examining the water pipe he
was struck in the head with an iron
spittoon by Huntley. The spittoon
weighed about 10 pounds. Huntley
and Cox then took his keys away
from him and threw Mr.. Cook into
a cell and made their escape, taking
the negro woman with them. The
woman was captured the night ct
the escape, but it was several days

tured.

OSBORNE MAY RECOVER.
Anderson Man Received Terrible
Wounds.

Anderson, Jan 1.-The condition
of J. Stacey Osborne, who was shot
with a gun last night by negress,
Hattie Hutchinson, was pronounced
serious tonight at the hospital,
though it is said he may recover. He
received a terrible wound in the neck
and both hands were practically shot
off. The shooting occurred in Os-
borne's stables. The woman, al
though wounded, succeeded in max
ing good her escape. Officers Of
nearby towns have been advised to
watch out for her.
The shooting has caused consider
able excitement here because of his
prominence. It occurred in the dead
of the night in the Office of his livery
stable, located only short distance
from the main business section of
the city.
The shot, followed by the cries of
pain, attracted a State constable,
Van Martin, who resides nearby. He
arrived in time to see the Hutchin-
son woman jump from the office win
dow and disappear. Mr.. Martin gave
his first attention to the wounded
man and after additional help had
arrived and Osborne had been moved
to the hospital the woman could not
be traced or found.
The gun used belonged to Osborne
and both barrels were fired at close
range. Osborne either caught hold
of the barrel or threw his hands be-
fore his face, the wound in his hands
indicating this. Osborne's hands were
amputated at the hospital, only one
thumb and one finger being undis-
turbed. He has been conscious to-
day but has not made any statement
concerning the affair.
The whereabouts of the Hutchin-
son woman is unknown.

No Babies in Next Century.

There will be no children in the
United States under five years old in
the year 1920. Babies, accordingly
will have disappeared from this coun-
try as early as 2015.
This is the mathematical conclu-
sion of Professor Walter F. Wilcox,
of Cornell University, announced to
the American Statistical association
at it's concluding session this after
noon. There is proportionately
more race suicide in the United States
than in France" said Prof. Wilcox.

you overcome makes you that much
stronger.
Another thing, you must not try
to follow all the vagaries of fashion
or you will have time for little else
Dress neatly and sensibly, and spend
more time in the improvement Of
your minds and making your bodies
strong.
There has been some talk of the
establishment of a reading room in
Bamberg for the young folks. Moth
ing could benefit them more if the
reading material is wisely chosen.
There is so much good literature and
so cheap there is no excuse for even
the poorest country girl to remain
ignorant. In books we can associate
with great men and women, which
will tend to draw out the best that
is in us, and awaken in us a desire
for greater achievements. Now If
the older heads do not provide means
for the development of the higher
things in life, the young folks will
spend more by acquiring bad habits
that will eventually bring about
their destruction Think over this,
young folks; if your parents are not
doing their duty, try to remedy it
yourselves. Remember "Where there
is a. will, there is always a way"
The harder the struggle the greater
your glory. LET us be up and do
ing with a heart for any fate.'
l wish our editor would start this
new year by condensing the horrible
murder tales, and give you young
sters a column for the interchange
of your ideas on different subjects.
The style now is to use simple
words which express the thought
clearly and forcibly. The main thing
is to have the thought. You may
find it awkward at first to express
yourself, but remember, practice
makes perfect. The little bird try
ing it's wings for the first time, often
falls painting to the earth, but with
every effort it grows stronger, and
after awhile it can sail away up into
the blue I am expecting great
things of you in 1911. P. B. P.

Chats With the Girls.

A happy new year, girls! Let us
make this the very best we have
ever had, by determining to be and
to do more than we have ever done.
There are so many little courtesies
and kindnesses that will make life
sweeter for others, if We will only
take time to think. Try and see ii
you won't be happier yourself by
bringing sunshine into other lives.
1t may cost self-denial, but then
''even Christ pleased not himself
and you will feel mroe than repaid by
the JOY that will fill your heart. This
much everybody expects of you, but
I am expecting even more than that,
I want you to rival the boys in learn
ing and usefulness as we'll. I claim
that if a girl has equal chances with
a boy, she will give him sharp
race. But, mind you, you must
have exercise to keep your body
strong, so you will be able to stand
the strain. At least fifteen minutes
each morning before breakfast,
should be devoted to the exercise of
the different muscles of the body.
Deep-breathing exercises are especi-
ally good.
Be sure to get up before the sun
does for that is the very best time of
day. EARLY to bed and early to
rise" is a good motto if you wish to
do something worth while in life.
Be content with a modest beginning,
but see to it that you get a little
stronger and a little wiser each day.
Our Mississippi when it rises in Itas-
ca Lake is so small stream it is
said that a person can step from one
bank to the other, but as it wends
it's way across the United States it
gradually grows deeper and broader,
carrying many ships on it's bosom,
and finally gaining for itself the
name, Father of Waters. 1t is not
wise to despise the day of small
things. There is a lot of talent lost
for lack of encouragement and de-
velopment. Too many people are
laboring under the delusion that
girls need little education. To my
mind girls need it more than boys,
for they are to be the mothers. How
can they train others when they are
not trained themselves? There are
men living yet who will not share
their property equally with the girls,
as if one is not a child as much as
the other
The only way to command respect,
girls, is to deserve it, Let the world
see that you are fit for something,
by pushing ahead, even with sorry
chances, and making the best pos
sible use of what you have. Never
try to shirk the duties of life, if
you would grow strong. Every one

SAFELY INVESTED.
Where Thieves Can't Break Through
and Steal.

County Court Clerk Hunt, of Dav-
idson county, Tenn, in calling upon
Mrs. Cora Harris (euthor of "The
Circuit Riders Wife, to furnish an
inventory of her husbands estate,
Of which she had been made execu-
trix, received a most remarkable and
unique reply from Mrs. Harris. At
ter saying that she did not know how
to make the inventory and apologize
ing because she had not known it
was her duty to do so, she says
among other things:
1T is not with the intention of
showing an egregious sentimentality
that l say I find it impossible to give
you a complete and satisfactory in
ventory of the estate of Lundy H.
Harris. The part that 1 give is so
small that it is Insignificant and
misleading. At the time of his death
he had s2.35 in his purse, $116 in
the Union Bank and Trust Company,
of that city, about 400 books and
the coffin in which he was buried,
which cost about s85. The major
part of his estate was invested in
heavenly securities, the value OF
which have been variously declared
in this world and highly taxed by
the various churches, but never
realized.
s'He invested every year not less
CASUALLY more) than $1,000 in char
ity, so secretly, so inoffensively and
so honestly that he was never sus-
pected of being a philanthropist and
never praised for his generosity. He
pensioned an old outcast woman in
Barron county, an old soldier in
Nashville. He sent two little negro
boys to school, and supported for
three years a family Of five who
could not support themselves. He
contributed anonymously to every
charity in Nashville; every old maid
interested in benevolent object re-
ceived his aid; every child he knew
exacted and received penny tolls
from his tenderness. He supported
the heart of every man who condded
in him with encouragement and af-
fection.
"He literally did forgive his ene-
mics and suffered martyrdom Sep
tember 1S, 1910, after enduring
three years of persecution without
complaint. He considered himself
one of the chief survivors and was
ever recognized as one of the largest
bondholders in heaven.
"You can see how large his estate
was and how difficult it would be to
compute it's value SO as to furnish
you the inventory you require for
record on your books. l have given
YOU faithfully such items as have
come within my knowledge.
Sincerely yours,
CORA HARRIS"
