SCOTTISH RITE
SESSION ENDED
FALL REUNION CLOSED LAST
NIeHT-MusIc WAS A SPECIAL
FEATuRE-NuMRER OF INTER
EsTlNG ADDRESSES WERE DE-
LlVEREp.

The banquet hall at the Masonic
temple was, crowded last evening when
the closing event OF the Scottish Rite
was enjoyed. This was pre-
ceded by an hours concert by the
cadet band of the agricultural college,
which was most thoroughly enjoyed.
After the men had been fully dis
cussed the Scottish Rite choir favored
the guests with two excellent numbers,
and added to the laurels which this
organization had already secured dur
ing the four days of the meeting. The
addresses were by Messrs Knox and
Putnam on behalf of the class taking
the degrees, while the other speakers
were Hon. Treadwell Twichell, Hon.
Randolph Holden and Governor Worst,
and each was a gen., and the senti-
ments expressed seemed to be fully
appreciated by all. An hour or two
vas spent in social intercourse and
the good-byes were said all feeling
that the fall reunion of 1912 was one
of the best aver held. The attendance
from out of the city was unusually
good, and the class and the brethren
both are determined to make the
March meeting ever more interesting
than the n just closed.

MORE ROOM FOR
FARGO POSTOFFICE

The postmaster in this city has re-
ceived an inquiry from the department
as to what it will probably cost to rent
a store. room within a block or so of
the postoffice to be used as a terminal
railway p~ostoffice. 1t is probable that
before the first or the year the ar
rangement will be contaminated, as
additional room is ~imperatively needed
in order to handle the rapidly increas-
ing business here. Such terminal Of
fees + now located in all of the large
cities. 1t is probable that the parcels
post and the handling of second class
mail is one of the reasons for taking
this up in Fargo at the present time,
in addition to the growing business.
The renting of such an office would
have no effect on the proposal to Sc
cure a new public building in Fargo.
The committee in the present congress
has unanimously decided to recon-
mend the purchase Of a new and larger
site in Fargo, and as soon as this is
through congress the project can
be more rapidly pushed to completion.

PLANT
IS PERFECTION

S. G.. Pollard, mechanical engineer
of Cincinnati, o., who assisted in
constructing the water publication
plant at Cincinnati, the largest in the
world, spent the afternoon with Super
intendent of Filtration Ayliffe in look
ing over Fargo's filtration plant.
Mr.. Pollard declared the plant to be
as modern and up to date both in
construction and equipment as n
plant hat he had ever visited and
ne saw no reason why the citizens of
Fargo should not be supplied with the
best of water.
Mr.. Pollard is an expert in his line
of work and came west to inspect both
the plant here and the one under con-
struction at Minneapolis.
At the present time the plant is
under inspection. The first period of
the testing showed that the plant was
up to specifications in every detail,
and that in many instances it was
ever better han expected. These tests
will continue until about the middle of
January, when it is believed that it
will be pronounced all right and turn
ed owed to the city for acceptance.

REPORT CORRECTED.

To the Voters of Bamberg County:
l desire to correct a malicious re-
port perpetrated by my opponents to
do me harm among my friends.
| am informed that it is reported
that | said that | didn't want a
Blease man to vote for me- Gen.
tlemen, have never intimated such;
and do most emphatically deny the
charge. Such within itself is prepos-
ferrous and absurd. | am merely ask
ing the good people of Bamberg
county who consider me trustworthy
and honest to re-elect me to repre-
sent the whole people of my county
IN the State legislature. l would not
be true to myself nor the Democratic
party of which l am a very strong
member. The Blease supporters are
as dear friends to me as that of any
other, and l shall appreciate their
support as much as that of any man.
When the question was asked by
the voters at Ehrhardt, with refer
ence to the governor, l said unless
my mind changed I should vote for
Mr.. Jones, but as Democrat abide
the results Of the election. l am not
the man to dodge the question per-
tanning to the welfare of the whole
people when it is put square up to
me, as it was to all the candidates
for both the House and the Senate.
And just here beg to say that if you
fail to locate your representatives
while asking for your support, what
might you expect of them after they
are elected? 1t is justly due the
voters of Bamberg county to demand
of each candidate for every Office
both his qualifications and his idea
of just administration under which
the whole people of State must live.
Yours, ]. A. HUNTER.

The Orangeburg Boosters.

The citizens of Bamberg were glad
to welcome to our city" the Orange
burg boosters Tuesday morning Of
this week. These gentlemen, who
are out on trips to the nearby towns,
advertising the advantages Of their
enterprising city, we're in Bamberg
for only a short time, but we were
all glad to see them. Most OF those
comprising the party are well-known
and have many friends in Bamberg.
The newspaper men, the Messrs. Sims
and Mr.. R. Lewis Berry, we're along,
helping to advertise the "city on the
Edisto," but we missed our old
friend, Fred Wannamaker. Hope he
wasn't too busy at home working for
Blease. BY the way, the Sims boys
must be prospering, as one OF the
cars carried a large banner inscrib-
ed: Times and Democrat car" The
party went from here on to Den
mark. These booster trips do a
great deal to bring about better feel
ing between nearby towns, and
should be encouraged. The idea is
a most excellent one, and other towns
could profit by Orangeburg's ex-
ample. There were thirteen or more
automobiles used by the party.

Jones Must Serve Sentence.

Columbia, Aug. 10.-John j.
Jones, the Branchville attorney, must
serve 10 years and 80 days in the
State penitentiary on the charge OF
killing Abe Pearlstine more than a
year ago. The supreme court TO-
DAY for the second time denies a
new trial to Jones. He has been con-
fined at the State peniteatiary for
several months.
The judgment of the Orangeburg
court was affirmed on the first ap-
peal. Later the attorneys appealed
to the supreme court on the ground
of after-discovered evidence and that
the jury box was irregularly made
up. The circuit judge refused the
motion and the attorneys for the
defendant appealed to the supreme
court on the ground that the fail
ure of the jury commissioners to
pass jointly on each name placed in
the box was a violation of the law.

First Bale of Cotton.

The first bale of cotton for Bam-
berg county and the State Of South
Carolina this season came to market
Tuesday of this week. 1t was raised
by G.. Frank Bamberg on his Pinckney
plantation, but W. G. Kirkland, the
overseer, deserves the credit of it.
The bale weighed $40 pounds, was
ginned at Mr.. r. F. Kirkland's gin
on Tuesday morning, and was sold
to Henry J. Brabham, Jr., a mer-
chant of this city, for fifteen cents a
pound. Mr.. Brabham shipped the
cotton to Charleston Tuesday night
by express. 1t was consigned to
Rogers, McCabe & Co., cotton mer-
chants Of that city. BarnWell coun-
ty furnished the first bale for the
State last year, but the honor goes
to Bamberg this year, which is not
the first time that Bamberg has furn-
ished the first bale for the State.

here this afternoon at o'clock took
T. T. Cotton, alias T. Z. McElhenny
a 16-yecr-old negro on trial, and
lynched him just beyond the city

The negro had been convicted OF

ported that he had trouble with the
negro and the latter was arrested.
At the trial to-day the negro was
speedily convicted of "unlaWful man
slaughter" Judge Gilbert sentenced
him to three years in the peniten,
tiary.
The spectators made no show OF
their dissatisfaction with the verdict

Reaching the negro quarter, the
passengers were ordered off the car

yards farther. Then the negro was
taken off the car and his body rid
died with bullets.
An investigation of the lynchins
will be held tomorrow.

Fire Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night about S'3G O'Clock
the house Of Caleb Guignard, re-
spected colored man, out near the
negro Baptist church, was destroyed
by fire. Most of the furniture in the
house was saved, but the house was
totally burned. Guignard had in
surance of $3.50 on the house. We
do not know what insurance was on
the furniture, but most of this was
saved. His loss on the house will
be considerable, as the building
could hardly be replaced for less
$1,000 or $1,000.

A Farm for Unemployed.

Prof. Charles R. Henderson and
Malcolm Mcdowell have proposed
that municipal farm be established
near Chicago on the lands owned by
the sanitary district for the relief of
the unemployed. The commission on
the unemployed has appointed a
committee headed by Mr.. Mcdowell,
to report on the project after investi-
eating municipal farms in other
places and comforting with the sani-
tary district trustees.
A municipal farm, properly man
aged, ought to be valuable in many
ways. 1t should provide a place
where all the homeless and jobless
find temporary work and shelter; it
should also be school in practical
agriculture, from which many men
could go out into the world prepared
to earn a living, since the call for
farm workers is loud nawadays. 1t
could be run in connection with the
house of correction as an expansion
of that institutions farm, and en-
ployment given to "trusties" or
those serving light sentences. Per-
haps it could be made a means of
revenue by providing farm products
for city institutions.
Since the number of the unemploy-
ed in Chicago is greatest in winter.
the greatest problem in maintaining
such a farm would be to provide
winter work for all applicants, and it
might be found desirable to add 9th
er work, but the farm needs would
form the nucleus of an industrial
colony from which great and perma-
nent benfts should come. The sani-
tary district owns an abundance OF
good land along the drainage canal; !;
it's trustees should cooperate in ev-
cry way possible in the carrying out
of so excellent plan.-Chicago Rec

it up to the supreme court until we
could get a petition asking him to
commute the negro's sentence to life
Imprisonment in the penitentiary
but in a very abrupt and enraged
manner he invited me to leave the
premises at once, which did.
Made Statement-Then Saw Jones.
In his statement he claims that
Judge Ira B. Jones went to the State
Office with US when we made the
statement of our treatment. This is
a lie out of the while cloth; we did
not see Ira B. Jones until we had
gone up and written our statement
of the treatment we had received.
We did, however, after leaving the
State office meet Judge Jones on the
street and had a short conference
with him, and saw him no more az
ter that time. This was between the
hours of 7 and o'clock, after the
lights were burning in the city.
Not Surprised at Blease.
Mr.. Blease talks of us as hoboes,
and he made the statement that ne
would pardon any man who would
Kill either King or myself If we
went to his house and used the Ian
guage that we used in the mansion.
I am not surprised at this state
ment, for if man will pardon three
negroes for whipping a poor white
man, robbilg him and leaving him
tied to a tree, when they had served
less than one-half of their sentence,
I would not be surprised at man
of his low and dirty character would
pardon any man who would kill any
good citizen in South Carolina, IT the
man who did the killing had enough
money. He talks about hoboes, l
notice he has one w. P. Beard as a
body guard with his pistol in his
pocket. We would like the good peo-
pie who wish to know anything about
this w. P. Beard to write to Pied
mont, Mfg. Co. Piedmont, S. c., in
which town he worked, or to any
good citizen in Greenville, S. c.,
where he lived for quite long time,
and his character is well known by
the citizens of this town.
I defy any living man to place his
finger upon any dark spot in my
character. I have lived in the city
of Greenville practically all my life,
and have always conducted myself as
a gentleman, and I ask the said
CRATER, Cole L. Blease, and the peo-
pie who know him if he can say as
much.
1 dislike to have to come in the pa
pers with such a dirty liar and graft
er, but sense of honor is such that
I could not withstand it any longer.

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

We can all be thankful that the
election will soon be over.
Miss Louise Zeigler, of Denmark,
has been awarded the Winthrop
scholarship from this county.
That dollar of Mr.. Byrd's is pow
erful lonesome. Won't others send
something along to keep it company?
We understand that large ma
jority of the candidates for office in
Bamberg county favor Judge Jones
for governor.
The Sunbeam Society will give
2 free missionary play at the Baptist
church Sunday evening at s o'clock.
The public cordially invited to at
tend.
Rev. E. T. Snubbs, a missionary
from China, will lecture on foreign
missions at the Colston Baptist
church next Sunday at eleven o'clock
q. m.
The excursion over the Georgia &
Florida Railway, from Augusta, on
Tuesday, August goth, is advertised
in this issue. Notice the advertise
ment.
The article in another column in
reference to Governor Blease, which
is an endorsement Of him by Rev. J.
A. Sigh, is a political advertisement
and is paid for as such.
The general opinion is that there
will be an average crop made in this
county this year, after all the bad
weather. Crops have improved dur
ing the past few weeks.
The fall season will soon be here,
and the merchants and others will
need lot of printing. Send in your
orders early in order that you may
be served promptly. We are hoping
to be mighty busy in few weeks.
The voters seem to be getting
more anxious to know how the candi-
dates in this county stand for COVER
nor, and it seems likely that the
question will be squarely put before
the primary takes place. 1t is being
done all over the State.
Lots of Bamberg people left on
the mountain excursion yesterday
morning, and no doubt more would
have gone If they could have raised
the price. The newspaper man has
to stay at home because those who
owe him have to take summer trips.
The first contributor to the Wood
row Wilson campaign fund was Mr..
J. A. Byrd, president of Bamberg
Banking Company, who came into
our Office after reading last weeks
paper and handed us a dollar. Let
others do likewise. Bamberg county
has made a miserably poor showing
so far in this matter.
