We must say that it looks like
prohibition has been and still is a
failure in Bamberg county. Con-
ditions seem to be growing worse so
far as lawlessness and crime is con-
cerned, but whether prohibition is
the real reason we are not prepared
to say. However, it is certain that
there are more murder cases to be
tried at the coming term of court
thansever before, and several of these
killings are directly traceable to
whiskey. There is reason for such
a heavy criminal docket at this court,
and no doubt different people will
have different solutions of the prob
lem. 1t will hardly be claimed, how
ever, that prohibition has been pro-
ductive of good results in Bamberg
county, no matter how much oppos-
ed to whiskey one may be. Is it
not time for the good people to be-
come aroused to conditions?

HORRIBLE DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Negro Kills Another and Then Sends
Load Through His Heart.

Bowman, Oct. pa double
tragedy occurred yesterday on Mr..
D. G. Pendarvis's plantation in up
per Dorchester county, near the Or
angeburg county line, the victims
both being negro men with families,
working share crops with Mr.. Pen
darvis.
From information that could be
gathered the parties were at work
and it is said that julie Bowman, one
of the victims, tok up a shotgun,
and walked up to julie Jones who was
near by and shot him at close range,
almost blowing the entire head from
the body, causing instant death.
Bowman then, it is stated, started
towards his house not far off, and af-
ter going short distance sat down,
pulled off one shoe and taking the
string from it, tied it to one of his
toes and the other end to the trigger
of his gun and placing it to his left
side fired the weapon, the load en-
tering the body near his heart and
causing death instantly.
1t is said that there was no quar-
reling or any words passed previous
to the shooting. Mr.. Olin. P. Evans,
Carrier R. F. D. No. from Bowman,
passed the place at the time of the
tragedy. The coroner of Dorchester
county was notified and an inquest
was held that afternoon, but nothing
further was obtainable as to the evil
dence, or finding of the jury as to
the cause of tragedy. 1t is indeed
a remarkable case and unparalleled
in this entire section of the country.
A negro suicide is indeed rare any
where.

NOTE LEFT BY SUICIDE.
Further Details of Death of F. NJ
Brown, of Brunson. -.

Brunson, Oct. 29.-Mr. F. M.
Brown, citizen of Brunson, was
found dead in his back yard at 9
o'clock yesterday morning, his body
reclining against the outer wall Of an
out house, his clothing drenched
with blood from a wound in his
mouth and head where pistol ball
had passed through from the mouth
to back of the skull. His pistol was
close by his side with a freshly emp
tied chamber.
A note written by Brown was close
by his side, sealed and directed to
Local Magistrate Bowling as follows:
"Get my shop book and collect
what is on it and give it to my wife.
Keep enough for your trouble. No
one will refuse to pay you, it is for
my wife and children, not for me.
AS this is the last thing I can ask
you to do please do that for my wife.
Goodbye"
The deceased left a wife and three
little children. His parents, brothers
and sisters live in the vicinity of
Brunson.
A few months ago a younger
brother met a violent death in the
State of New York as a soldier in
the U. S. army.
His aged father is a veteran of
the Confederate war.

HANS, JR., & HANS, SR., DEPART.
Little Stowaway and His Father Be-
gin Voyage Across Seas.

AS the British steamer Moorlands
cleared the wharves of the Rogers
McCabe Company yesterday after
noon and sailed out of Charleston
harbor, loaded with cotton for Brem-
en-, little blue-eyed boy stood out
on the stern of the big ship and Wav-
ed his handkerchief in farewell. The
little fellow was no other than Hans
Praedicker, the eight-year-old Ger
man boy who came as stowaWay
to this country to hunt rabbits. Along
with Hans on his return trip is his
father, and both go back much
against their own wishes.
Hans, Jr., has experienced many
adventures, and has achieved sew
eral columns of newspaper notoriety
since coming to this country. AL
though he has spent most of his time
here in the county jail as a trans
gresser against the immigration
laws, he made lots of friends, some
of whom offered to adopt him. This,
however, the immigration laws pre-
vented. He has to return to Ger
many and wait until his father can
bring him back in legitimate man
ner.
Little Hans showed his manners
when he shook hands with Jailer
Bennett and Assistant Levy, and
thanked them for the kindness that
they showed him while he was in the
prison. Neither did he forget Mrs.
Levy, the kind wife of the assistant
jailer, or the other members of the
iail force. A number of German
ladies called at the jail yesterday
morning to bid Hans goodbye, and
when the little fellow left he carried
with him several packages contain
ing delicious eatables given him by
these friends that called to tell him
good-bye.-News and Courier, Oct.
80.

One of the smallest things we
have heard of recently was the &C
ton of the commissioners of elec-
ton in Marlboro and Orangeburg
counties refusing to publish the no.
tices of election in the Pee Dee Ad-
yocate and the Times and Democrat.
Those papers supported Judge Jones,
and the action of the commissioners
vas in the way of revenge we guess
We have not noticed similar action
in other counties.

Roosevelt's new party claims to be
strictly a white mans party in the
South, yet in the North negroes are
admitted. There were several. ne
gro delegates in the New York State
convention, and they forced the con-
yention to adopt a plank in the plat
form protesting against discrimina-
ton against negroes in hotels and
cafes. How many South Carolina
men who are supporting Roosevelt
would like to stop at a hotel with
their wives and daughters where ne
groes were PERMITTED?
