The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1912-08-15

In the primary two years ago
Blease carried Bamberg, Denmark,
Colston, Midway, Olar, Edisto, Ehr-
hardt, Kearse, and Milhous Mill. This
year it seems reasonably certain that
Jones will get a good ma: jority at
the following boxes carried by Blease
two years ago: Bamberg, Colston,
Ehrhardt, and Kearse, with the
prospect of Blease's majority being
greatly reduced at the other boxes
carried by him two years ago. The
boxes which went against Blease two
years ago will go against him this
year by increased majorities.

SHOOTING .AFFRAI.
Difficulty at Negro Church Last Sun
d.,y, and Three Negroes Wounded.

Last Sunday at Capernaum Baptist
church, negro church, about six
miles above town, there was a shoot
ing affray, in which Andrew Bennett,
Ambrose Taylor, and Washington
Hampton were wounded, none OF
them seriously. Bennett lives in
Bamberg, and he was out on the
street yesterday morning and we
asked him for a statement of the
difficulty. His story is that the SELL
ing of liquor and consequent disor-
der at the protracted meetings at
the various negro churches in this
county has gotten so bad that last
Sunday he was asked by the officers
of the church to assist them in stop
ping it. That he and man who
was helping him caught negro from
Bamberg named John Paul selling
liquor. Paul by the way drives one
of the city carts here.
The news that Paul had been
caught soon spread, and it appears
that Ambrose Taylor, a negro who
lives on Hon. S. G. Mayfield's place,
and his brother-in-law, Washington
Hampton, were also selling liquor,
and they took their stand down the
road a little distance from the church
and held up all who passed, cursing
and abusing people and trying to
find out who the man was that had
caught Paul. That a little later both
came up to where Bennett was and
Hampton got to questioning him and
pulled his pistol and flourished it
around. Bennett says that he then
drew his pistol and fired at Hamp-
ton twice, the first shot missing and
the second bullet taking effect in
Hampton's leg. That Hampton also
fred at Bennett but missed. How
ever, in the meantime Taylor was
shooting at Bennett, one shot taking
effect in Benefits breast, the bullet
entering from the side at one nipple
and going through to the other, max
ing only a flesh wound. Bennett
then turned and fired on Taylor, who
was running away, and wounded him
in the hip, but he got safely away
However, Hampton's wound in the
leg incapacitated him, and ne had
to be hauled home.
Hampton is a convict on the coun-
ty chain gang, having been sent there
a few years ago for killing his broth
er-in-law, his sentence being ten
years. He is said to be trusty on
the gang. Bennett says that Paul
had % half pints of liquor at the
church for sale, and that practically
everybody on the ground was dis
playing pistols, from little boys up.
That both of these negroes he shot
had been openly displaying their
pistols before the difficulty with him,
and had threatened people with their
weapons. That these same parties
had been selling liquor and bull-doz-
ing the other negroes at protracted
meetings before last Sunday. Ben
nett is not hurt much, and will be
all right soon. The bullet, 3S-caE-
bre, lodged in his breast just under
the skin, and he cut it out himself.
The bullet is little battered where
it struck the breast bone.
We have not been able to inter-
view any one who was present at the
difficulty except Bennett, but he says
the best negroes and the officers of
the church will corroborate the above
statement of the affair. Bennett
says he will prosecute the negroes
for shooting him.

The OTHER
SIDE PUTS
s.:. .. K. UP ITS CASE

Replying to the charges preferred
against the county court Of Klamath
county by the Commercial club, Of
that city, VIM. s.. Worden, county
Judge, yesterday, in letter forward
ed to Governor West, charges that
the club was organized expressly for
the purpose Of fighting a move made
by the court for a court house site,
and also to combat the court in all
other county matters.
Ever since the new town Of Kla-
math sprung up he says, that there
has been a division among the peo-
pie as to a site for courthouse.
The klamath Falls Development
company offered a site free in the
new town, he says, and then the
Commercial club was brought into
existence to fight It, the members
having property in the old site
Members Of the club recently petit
toned the court, he states, to pur-
chase a site within the county seat
limits, and the court was agreeable
M they would donate the site, but
this they refused to do
He admits purchasing the new
poor farm from his father, but says
the old one was not suitable for the
purposes, and that the tract Of the
father was the only one available
and the price paid reasonable. We
also admits the $1,000 drug bill but
attributes 1t to the fact that the
county could not care for the pa.
tlents on the old farm and high
priced physicians and druggists haC
to be employed. He also admits TAX
Ing the junketing trip to Portland
and charging the county up for It
but asserts that 1t was for the bene
At Of the county.
Governor West has not yet decidet
what action he will take with rela
ton to the matter.

From Ashland north and all over
western Oregon win e. Purdy held
great revival meetings and from
Portland to Empire City he convert
ed thousands of people, but he could
not convert Judge McGinn into the
belief that he had a particle of hon
esty in his nature.
There never was break of any
serious character between Winters
md Purdy from the time Winters
started him in business II years ago
up until the time OF Winters death.
A short time before Winters died, as
related by the witness Bottom, Pur-
dy was having business relations
with Winters. He (Mr, Bottom), Mr..
and Mrs. Purdy went over to the
Winters Block, where Mr.. Winters
lived, and Mr.. Winters took occasion
to have settlement in their pres
ence with Mrs. Maxfleld After hay-
ing that settlement he made some
remark to Mrs, Purdy, that he want
I'd everything settled up so that Mr..
Purdy would have no trouble with
the property. Mr.. Winters had con-
idence in Purdy-tbey had made
money together. Mr.. Winters al
ways spoke of the fact that Purdy
had made good--he felt proud Of him.
No evidence was offered that Mr..
Winters ever lost faith or confidence
in Mr.. Purdy as a result of the var
lous transactions referred to. On
the contrary, he continued in active
business with Mr. Purdy until the
2Sd day of September, after this deed
was executed and the business at
that time was wound up amlcably
and the friendship between Winters
and Purdy continued up to the day
of Winters death.

that, Purdy went into the real estate
