Capers a Candidate.

Spartanbury, April 19.-Capt. Jno.
G. Capers, of Greenville, South Caro-
lima member of the Republican ma
tional committee, announced here to-
day that he would be candidate for
congress against Joseph T. Johnson,
the present representative.
In an interview at the Gresham
hotel where he was comforting with
Republicans from several counties
of the Piedmont, Capt. Capers de-
clared that he would give Mr.. John
son a hot race.
There are $4,000 voters in the
fourth congressional district" said
Capt. Capers, "who have come here
from North Carolina and Tennessee
and are working in the mills. These
men will vote for Republican can
didate if he is a clean, decent white
man. There has been no opportunity
here to vote for a Republican OF
good repute for 16 years. These men
are naturally Republicans and would
vote the Republican ticket if there
was a republican organization and
Republican candidates of which they
were not ashamed. AS there has been
no respectable Republican party,
these men have had to turn to the
Democratic primary"

AMBERG, S. c.. THURSDAY, APRIL II, 1872
MEASURE ORDERED REPORTED.
Favorable Committee Action on
Byrnes Bill Affecting War Claims.

Washington, April 8.-Represent-
ative James F. Byrnes, of the End
South Carolina district, who is a
member of the committee on war
claims, has been authorized by that
committee to report favorably to the
house his bill reviving for two years
after it's passage the right of action
under the Captured and Abandoned
Property Act, and also a resolution
introduced by him calling on the Sec
retary of the treasury to furnish a
list of persons from whom property
was taken under that act and the
amount so taken from each individu-
al.
Under the act of 1868 property
was taken and sold, and the pro-
ceeds, amounting to more than $780,
100000 were placed in the treasury,
with a record of the names of those
from whom it had been taken. Az
ter the war a bill was passed giving
the claimants two years in which to
sue for property thus taken, and
S1O,00O,OO0 was recovered as re-
suit. A little over s10,000,O00 yet
remains in the treasury.
If congress passed the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Byrnes and approved
by the committee, claimants would
have two years in which to present
their claims for moneys due them
out of this fund, and should the reso-
luton with regard to the list OF
names be enacted, the process would
be simplified and expedited, because
no claimant whose name is not on
the list, or who cannot establish le'
gal heirship in connection with one
of these names, can in any event re-
cover by suit before the court OF
claims.
Up to this time congress has re-
fused to pass any resolution requir-
ing the secretary of the treasury to
make the list public, although the
s10,OO0,000 held in the treasury
ever since the war on account OF
captured and abandoned property
does not belong to the government
and really ought to be distributed
among it's legal owners. 1t is not
certain that the resolution will pass
but it has a better chance now than
ever before.

Denmark DOings.

Denmark, April 9.-On last Friday
evening the ladies gave musical
for the benefit of the Baptist church

plants. Music was furnished by
Misses Rosa Strait and Emma
Thompson; Miss Edna Steadman;
Misses Katherine Wilkinson and
Julia Goolsby; Miss Virginia Faust,
Mrs. S. G. Mayfeld, and Mr.. Thomas

was interspersed with catchy songs,
by the vocal talent of our town. A
very amusing selection was recited
by Miss Bertrand Perritt, and an
interesting piece read by Mr.. J. Ar
thur Virgins. During the course OF
the evening a sweet course was serv-
ed, and quite neat little sum was
realized.
Miss Louise Zeigler spent the
weekend with friends in Orange
burg.

Letter from Clemson.

Clemson College, S. c., April O.
Thinking that some of the people
of Bamberg county would like to
know how the boys from that dear
little county were doing, the writer
has decided that this would be the
best way to reach most of the peo-
pie which were interested.
We boys organized a Bamberg
county club in November and the club
is composed of the following boys:
D. B. Hill, president; c. S. Folk, Jr.,
vice president; W. F. Johnson, Sec
retary and treasurer; F. B. Hutto, H.
NJ. Crum, Hammond Crum, w. B.
Cook, B. F. Hill, G. F. Mcmillan, W.
H. Rice. We had our picture put in
the college annual and we can boast
of the fact that we have one of the
best looking bunch of boys in col
lege. We have three seniors this
year, these are: G. S. Folk, w. F.
Johnson, and D. B. Hill. F. B. Hut
to, H. M. Crum, W. H. Rice, and
G. F. Mcmillan are our Sophomores,
and Hammond Crum, w. B. Cook,
and B. F. Hill are our Rats" and
Freshmen.
Our boys are standing we'll in
every phase of college life. We have
men on the athletic teams, officers in
the military department., one in the
glee club, and men in every course
but one. Our president Hill has won
the medals for being the best orator
and declaimer in college; he will
represent Clemson at the State ora
torical contest at Rock Hill this year.
He is also president of the Calhoun
Literary Society and a member of
the annual staff of 1912. We want
to see at least ten more Bamberg
county boys up here next year for it
is a great opportunity, and we be-
lieve that every boy should try to take
advantage of it.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. w. D. Rowell paid
us short visit last week. Mr.
Rowell was attending the conference
of the county superintendent of ed
ucation.
School will be out June IL, and
we boys will be ready to come home
again.
With best wishes we are the
BAMBERG COUNTY BOYS.

Woman Sentenced to Chair.

Newport News, Va, April 9.-Vir-
ginia Christian, young negro wo-
man, who has been on trial in the
Hampton circuit court for the past
two days on a charge of numbering
Mrs. Ida Virginia Belote, was this
afternoon found guilty of murder in
the first degree and her punishment
was fixed at death in the electric
chair. Mrs. Belote, a widow with
eight children, was found murdered
at her home in Hampton March 1S.
She had been beaten over the head
with a heavy earthenware cuspidor
until unconscious, after which she
was choked and a towel was cram
med down her throat. A broom
handle, it was brought out at the
trial, was used to force the towel in
to the woman's mouth. Robbery and
revenge were ascribed as the motives
for the crime. The dead woman's
pocket book, together with several
bloody garments, were found at the
Christian girls home, and the evil
dence against her was conclusive. If
the sentence of the jury is carried
out, which is very probable, it will
be the first execution of woman in
this State since the Inauguration of
the electric chair as mode of inflict-
ing capital punishment.

The Bamberg Herald printed the
Underwood supplement that is being
circulated so extensively in the week
lies; but as matter of square deal
ing with it readers told them that
the supplement went as paid adver-
tising. While the Enquirer does not
care to send out prepared supple
ments with it's circulation, even for
pay, it has no criticism of other
newspapers doing so if they see
proper. What The Herald has done
in this case has the Enquirer's full
approval. Straight advertising is
legitimate; but a supplement like
this sent out without explanation,
would seem to carry the editors ap-
proval with it, and where a price
goes with it, the flavor of the trans
action is not good.-Yorkville En-
quirer.

WILSON ROBBED OF LETTERS.
Thieves Steal Suit Case Filled with
Private Correspondence.

Chicago, April 7.-Thieves, appar-
emily with political affiliations, broke
into the rooms of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson, of New Jersey, at a down.
town hotel late to-day and stole a
suit case full of private correspond
ence and papers belonging to Gov.
Wilson.
The robbery occurred while Gov.
Wilson was at the rectory of ST..
Mary's church lunching with Rev.
P. J. O'Callahan and other priests
of the Paulist order. The theft was
discovered when Gov. Wilson return
ed to his hotel.
Just before departing for SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, tonight, Gov. Wilson
made the following statement regard
ing the robbery:
"The robbery will greatly incon-
venience me. But whoever obtained
the papers and correspondence will
be greatly disappointed. While the
correspondence is of nature which
necessarily should be considered pri-
vate, between the writer's and my
self, there is nothing but what may
be published without doing me harm.
"A great deal of the correspond
ence deals with the campaign l am
waging, as do the other documents
which were stolen"

Killed at Target Practice.

Charleston, April 9.-Cadet Louis
Dotterer, son of DR.. Louis Dotterer,
was killed this afternoon at the rifle
range where the cadets of the Cita-
del have been in camp for ten days.
The young man was in the pit, sery-
ing as a marker, and it is said that
he raised his head above the ground
at the wrong time and received the
bullet from a Krag-Jorgensen rifle.
A hurry call was sent for DR.. Null
lally, the surgeon in attendance upon
the race track, but when he reached
the young man he was already dead.
Death must have been instantaneous.
Dotterer was 1S years of age. He was
popular among his college mates and
the accident is generally deplored.

Dog Around.
Savannah, Ca, April 4.-Samuel
Simms, the 10-year-old boy who yes
terday killed Thomas Griffin, negro
boy about the same age, was commit
ted to Jail by the recorder to-day to
await an indictment for murder. The
boy appeared in court neatly dressed
and smiling but unaccompanied by
any relative. His mother and father
are both dead. Col. Robert L. Cold
ing, a member of the local bar, VOL
unteered to represent the lad before
the recorder. The boy told his story
smilingly and apparently unconcern-
ed about his fate. He said the little
negro boy kicked his dog and when
he demonstrated with him, started
at him with a knife. Il took the
knife away from him and cut him, "
is Sans simple explanation of the
affair. The coroner held an autopsy
to-day and found that the dead boy
received a cut in each breast and
that either wound would have proved
fatal

LODGE CRITICISES | LAST CONGRESS
PARTICULARLY DEMOCRATIC AC- TON ON AMENDING BILLS
 OF APPROPRIATION.
Says State Department Was Crippled to Save an Expenditure
 of s9o,ooo.

Columbus, O., Sept. 21.-Senator Lodge, after declaring his pleasure in addressing an Ohio gathering, told of his long intimate friendship with President Mckinley. His speech was largely devoted to a review of the acts of the laet congress.
 The democratic house." he said, determined to enter upon a career of legislation and in order to secure their legislation they adopted to an extent never Known in our history that most vicious practice of attracting legislation to appropriation bills, which hitherto the rules of both hous- es have been carefully framed to prevent. They started out with the proposition that they were going to make great economies but when the final account was made up it was found that the economies all crip- pied those branches of the govern men wrere there were no votes and the extravagances in which they free ly indulged were poured out lavishly where it was thought that large sums from the treasury would result in se- curing support at the polls. The economies and extravagances alike were determined not by the interests of the government or the people but
