Court Proceedings.

What was no doubt the shortest
term of the court of general ses-
sions for Bamberg county convened
last Monday morning, with Judge
George E. Prince presiding. The
commission OF the new solicitor, Mr..
Gunter, was read and spread on the
records. Judge Prince chargd the
grand jury and that body went i'm:
mediately to work, finishing up the
same afternoon.
Only three criminal cases were
tried.
The grand jury returned true bills
in the following cases which were
not tried:
Frank Jones and Frank Gaillard--
house breaking and larceny.
J. w. Napier, Jr.-grand larceny.
Hobsie Wright, the prominent ne
gro church member and all-round
crook, was put on trial for stealing
cotton seed from a car at the depot
one night some months ago. He
plead guilty and was sentenced to
one year on the chain gang, being
let off extremely light.
VIM. Davis, VIM. Rankin, and Ed
ward Young, three white crooks from
the West somewhere, were tried
and found guilty of house breaking
and larceny and were given three
years each in the penitentiary. These
are the men who broke into and rob-
bed the store of the Farmers Mercan-
tile Company at Denmark on Sunday
night, February 18th. They got away
with about 5000 worth of goods, but
were captured in Sayannah where
they had sold the goods. They were
desperate characters and escaped
from the train while being brought
from Savannah, but were recaptured. /.
They were brought to Bamberg last
Sunday night, and while in jail pick
ed some locks and tried to get away.
They were sentenced Tuesday after
noon and were at once taken in an
automobile to Denmark to take the
train for Columbia. When they were
taken out of the Jail to be put in the
machine they resisted stoutly and put
up quite fight before they were sub
dued, although they we're heavily
ironed at the time.
The case against ]. w. Napier, Jr.,
charged with grand larceny, which
was postponed, is the case for substi-
tuting false stones for diamonds,
which took place at Govan some
months ago Napier is a white man
from Aiken county, and was here
Tuesday expecting to be tried. He
is under bond for $1,000, the sure
ties being some gentlemen from
Aiken county. When first arrested
and put in Jail here he gave a cash
bond, but this money was returned
when the surety bond was given.
Napier has since been in some trouble
in North Carolina, but seems to have
gotten we'll out of it.

Women Acquitted.

Charlotte, N. c., March Annie
Louise Stevens and Dora Wilson, the
pretty blondes who have been incar-
cerated in Mecklenburg jail since last
Tuesday, charged with the murder Of
Al G.. Winn, a travelling man from
New Orleans, in a room at a local
hotel, were acquitted of any COM
plicity in the crime by Judge Biggs
in chambers tonight, the evidence
adduced at the hearing showing con-
clusively that Winn took his own
life.
The fact that the women though in
an adjoining room, denied hearing the
pistol shot, and other suspicious cir
cumstances, led the coroner to hold
them. It developed tonight that
Winn suicided because the Stevens
woman, who has posed as his wife,
had decided to leave him and 60 on
the vaudeville stage. The Stevens
woman admitted tonight that she
was a Mrs. Dick, of Eufaula, Ala,
and that she was seeking divorce
from her husband with the idea Of
marrying Winn. Winn's wife, with
their fve-year-old son, Is now in
an Asheville, N. c., sanitarium suf-
fering with a serious nervous trouble.
Her father, Colonel Delemore, is a
prominent business man of New Or
leans.

Appointment Mandatory.

Columbia, March 4.-The supreme
court has ruled that the governor
must appoint special judges upon
the recommendation of the supreme
court or the chief justice.
This is the statement made by
Chief Justice Jones in an opinion
given to-day involving a point very
similar to that which has caused the
breach between the governor and the
supreme court. The chief justice re-
views the law on the subject of ap-
pointing special judges. He discusses
the constitutional provisions in gen
eral. 1t was not the question of ap-
pointing special judges that was most
important in the opinion. The real
issue in the James Davis case, which
is the case in which the decision was
handed down, was whether or not
the governor can order special
term of court. The supreme court
rules that the governor can order a
special term of court when the solic-
itor requests it and when public pol
icy demands such.
The particular case in court
brought up the question also that
the special Judge was correctly ap-
pointed. Chief Justice Jones says, in
his opinion, that the court knew that
J. H. Marion, the special judge, was
named by Governor Ansel upon the
recommendation of the court.

DRINK AMONG WOMEN.
Old Maids and Married Women With.
out Children Conspicuous.

R. Murray Leslie, in the current
number of National Health, makes
the startling assertion that there is
far more secret drinking among up
per and middle class women than is
generally known. The consumption
of whiskey, brandy and even eau de
Cologne is far too common. In the
industrial centres, this Harley street
physician points out, women are
drinking more than ever. In London,
Glasgow and Dublin the public houses
may be seen crowded with women,
and the Irish capital is notorious for
the large number of quite young girls
frequenting public bars.
On the other hand, when a woman
of the upper classes becomes addicted
to alcohol she nearly always drinks
in secret.
She soon becomes such an adept
in cunning and dissimulation that she
is often enabled to carry on the prac-
tice for years without any Of her
friends being aware of the fact.
The most cunning secret drinkers
appear to be old maids or married
women without children. Loneliness
and monotony, with no outlet for the
expression of the natural emotions of
Joy and love, are the main causes
ascribed by the doctor inducing in
ebriety in women.
Among the effects of drinking on
women he names are loss OF will
power and self-control and the blur
ring of the senses of right and
wrong.
In conclusion, DR.. Leslie says
drinking women become creatures of
impulse, no longer controlled by
judgment. They lie, steal, spread
scandalous stories and violate the
proprieties to put it mildly because
their power Of control has ceased
to exist.-Baltimore Sun.

Married at Olar.

Last Sunday afternoon Mr.. ]. j.
Jones, of this city, was happily mar
rfed to Miss Hettie Richbourg, of
Sandersville, Ca The wedding took
place at the home of Mr.. c. F. Rizer
at Olar at 4:30 o'clock. Mr.. A. c.
Walker, pastor of the Methodist
church there, was the officiating min
lister. The wedding was quiet one,
only the immediate family being
present. At 6 o'clock the happy
couple left over the Seaboard Air
Line for Florida and other points on
a bridal trip. They will visit ST..
Louis on the trip and will be away
10 days or two weeks, after which
time they will be at home to their
friends in Bamberg.
The residence of Mr.. Jones on Rail-
road Avenue has recently been re-
modelled and beautifed, this now be-
ing one of the many handsome homes
on that street, and it is here they will
reside.
The bride is originally from South
Carolina, her family at one time re-
siding at Summerton, Clarendon
county, but she has resided in Geor-
gia for number of years. She has
been milliner at Rizer's for the past
three years or more and during that
time has made many warm friends
who will welcome her as permanent
resident.
Mr.. Jones has for years been a
prominent business man of this city,
being senior member of the firm of
Jones Bros, large live stock and We
hicle dealers as well as farmers. He
has achieved success through his own
efforts, and his many friends are de-
lighted that he has won so charming
a woman as his companion for life.
In common with his other friends,
The Herald extends congratulations
and good wishes.

CIVIL WAR STORY.
About Two Judges that Reads Like
Pure Fiction.

Gen. John H. Morgan, the raider,
along about 1853, swooped down
upon the Federal garrison at Harts-
vile, Tenn. Morgan had only about
1900 men, while the Union forces
numbered about 1000. Still, Nor
gan usually knew what he was
about-result: Several hundred Fed
erals killed and the rest captured.
AS soon as the battle was over,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the
Confederates recrossed the Cumber-
land river. Among the rear guard
was Private Lurton, of the Sd Ken
lucky cavalry. He was the last man
to recross the river and just ahead
of him was the last Confederate
wagon, loaded with Federal muskets,
and other captured articles.
In the meantime the sound OF
Morgan's guns had disturbed the.
slumbers of another Kentuckian.
This one was Union soldier; Harlan
by name, and he was colonel Of the
10th Kentucky infantry, at Castalain
Springs, six miles from Hartsyille.
He Immediately started with his regi-
ment to the relief of the garrison at
Hartsville.
Harlan and his regiment reached
the top of bluff back from the river
just as Lurton and the last wagon OF
the Confederates was in the middle
of the Cumberland. Harlan had O.
field piece along, and he pointed It at
the Confederate cavalryman and
banged away. He didn't hit the cav,
alryman; so he tried again and kept
trying. ss
Nevertheless, Harlan's shells hit
the river in the immediate vicinity OF
cavalryman and wagon, and they
made a mighty splash. The driver;
cut loose his mules and made record
time to the shore. If Lurton tarried.
there is no record of it.
To-day, in black robes, the colonel
behind the cannon and the private on
the horse sit side by side on the
bench of the most august tribunal
of the world. For the Federal was
John Marshall Harlan and the Con-
federate was Horace Harmon Lurton
and both are Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court Of the United
States of America.
This United States Of ours Is Q
great country-and it Is just sucn
things as this Harlan-Lurton analrS
that make us sure of it.
When one of these Kentuck1ans
banged away at the other our coun-s.
try was in the throes of the fiercest
and bloodiest civil wars OF all history:
And that was just about half a cen-H
tury ago.
In these so years we have grown
to be the wealthiest and most pow
erful nation of earth. But, better
still. we have outgrown the things
that set Union soldiers against Con-
federate until the presence OF these
two fighting men of the civil war
side by side upon the Supreme Court
bench is truly typical of a sectional
strife forgotten. and country re-
united. SIS
It takes a great country and
great people to make such things not
onlv possible. but actual realities.

Mr.. A. w. Brabham, of the Bu-

Monday and in talking about tax
matters stated that he had been al
luding to low taxes in Banwell coun-
ty, but he could not do so any more,
as he was reliably Informed the
mother county had debt of some
thing like $4,000 and the tax levy
this year was seven mills against
51h mills for Bamberg. The fact is,
taxes are too high everywhere, but we
pay less in Bamberg than any county
in this section. We asked Mr.. Brab-
ham to keep up his fight for lower
taxes, and he will no doubt do so.
