SENATOR SMITH OF GA.
LEADS FIGHT FOR BILL
viii Increase Revenue of the
United States S6O,O0O,o00
Yearly, 1t Is Estimated.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The SEN
ate Yesterday passed the excise bill
This is in reality an income tax bill
leyying tax of one per cent a year. on
the incomes in excess of $4,000 on all
corporations and persons.
Attached to this bill were two riders
one repeating the Canadian reciproc
ity act. the other establishing a tariff
commission
These amendments carry the entire
bill back to the house, which had al
ready passed the main measure. II is
expected that the house will accept the
two amendments, and thus send the
measure to the president for his sigma
ture
Thus congress is nearer establishing
real income tax than it has been
since the supreme court in 1898 held
such measure to be unconstitutional.
The senate's vote on the measure
Yesterday was decisive. 81 to IS. Pas
sage of the bill was made possible by
a coalition of the Democratic and the
progressive Republican senator's.

Hoke Smith Leads
Fight for Measure.

The fight for the measure was led by
Senator Hoke Smith. of Georgia, who
opened the debate with a two hour
speech He stated that he personally
favored a straight personal income tax.
and was supported in his opinion by
the fact that 81 states have already
adopted the amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States authorizing
congress to lay such tax. But, he
said. The Democrats generally believed
1t to be safer to accomplish the same
result by merely extending the exist
ing corporation income tax to individ-
uals
Under the provisions of this measure.
the man with an income of $4,000 a
year or less. is exempt from taxation.
nose whose yearly net income eX-
eeeds $4,000 must pay one per cent on
the amount in excess of that sum. For
instance, if John Doe enjoys an in

one per cent of the excess over $4,000.

would be $24995O.
It has been computed that the bill

Streets to be Clayed.

Arrangements are being made to
have some of the streets in town
clayed. The plan to be followed is
the same of last year, that of having
persons who have teams to furnish
them for the hauling, the town bear
ing the expense of digging the clay
and loading the wagons. The editor
of The Herald called up Mr.. ]. j.
Smoak, chairman Of the street COM
mittee, Monday morning and sug-
gested the matter to him. Mr.. Smoak
had already been considering it, and
]. F. Carter, Esq, president of the
business league, was also appealed
to, and he is much interested in the
matter. Therefore the league will
assist in this good work. 1t is hoped
to have several more of the streets
in town clayed, and under the plan
proposed the burden will not fall
heavily on any one. 1t is proposed
to mix the clay and sand thoroughly,
and not dump the clay on the sand
as heretofore

NEGRO PORTER JAILED.
Charged with Serious Offense Against
Lady Passenger.

Duluth, Minn., July 29.-When
Jack Williams, aged 40, negro por-
ter on the Northern Pacific Railroad,
arrived in Duluth to-day he was ar

Army Worm and Telephone.

An idea of the possibilities of the
telephone in the rural districts may
be had from a recent experience in
Tiff county. AS soon as it was learn.
ed that the army worm had made its
appearance, which wcs simultaneous
in opposite corners of the county, the
secretary of the Triton Chamber OF
Commerce called up the manager OF
the local exchange and had him warn
every farmer that could be reached
by telephone that the worm had ap-
peared and tell him what preventive
to use. AS a result it is said the
situation in that county was unoer
control within two days. Tilt coun-
ty has twelve farmers telephone
lines, reaching every section of the
county and connecting nearly zoo
homes.-The Morning News, Savan'

Fire Friday Night.

Last Friday night about 7:SO
O'Clock the alarm of fire was sound
ed, the livery stable of Mr.. }. ).
Smoak being on fire. The flames
originated in a lot of hay in the lott
in the back end of the building, but
it was discovered very soon by some
negroes who were at the stable at
the time.
All the horses and mules were at
once turned out, and in short time
the fire department had two streams
of water turned on, which soon ex-
tinguished the flames. The loss is
covered by insurance. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. Again
have the water works saved lot
of property from destruction, for it
is certain that lot of wooden
buildings in that section would have
been burned had the town not had
fire protection. The stable is a large
wooden structure, and would have
made a tremendous conflagration.

Death of j. Clyde O'Neal.

The news Of the death Of Mr.. j.
Clyde O'Neal, which occurred at the
hospital in Savannah last Thursday
night, was received with much sor-
row in Bamberg and was great
shock to the entire community. Mr..
O'Neal was born and reared here, and
no young man of this city was more
popular with old and young than
Clyde O'Neal. Everybody was his
friend, and the news Of his sudden
death caused genuine sorrow to many
hearts.
Mr.. O'Neal's death was caused
from effects of the heat. He became
Ill from being overheated on Wednes-
day, and was taken to the hospital,
where he was resting very well, but
Thursday afternoon he began to grow
worse and the end came about eight
O'Clock that night. The body was
brought here Friday afternoon, and
the interment took place Saturday
at the family burying ground at his
toric Buford's Bridge. Rev. w. T.
Mcmillan, pastor of the Bamberg
Baptist church, conducted the ser
vices.
Mr.. O'Neal was thirty-six years
old and is survived by his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, residents
of this city, and one brother, Mr.. J.
J. O'Neal. He had been living in
Savannah for number of years
where he held an important position
with the Osborne-Marlow Co., and he
was prominent in business and fra
ternal circles. Many handsome flor
al tributes were sent along with the
body by his friends in Savannah.
The death of this fine young mar
was especially sad, in that the END
came so suddenly with none of his
family at his bedside. With life be
fore him and with very bright pros
poets. it seems doubly hard that he
should be carried from this life sc
ouicklv. The many friends of him
self and family extend sympathy tt
those so deeply bereaved. However
it should be a great comfort to his
loved ones to know that he had the
confidence, respect and esteem o'
so many who were proud to call hin
] friend.

DEAD FROM EFFECTS OF HEAT
Former Bamberg Man Expires in Sa
vannah Hospital.

Savannah, July 26.-As a result
of illness brought on by the excessive
heat, James Clyde O'Neal, son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. r. O'Neal, of Bamberg,
S. c., died last night at the Savannah

heat in the early part of the week.
His condition grew steadily worse af-
ter he reached the hospital.
O'Neal was a native of Bamberg.
He was 35 years of age and had been
living in Savannah for a number of
years, as sales manager for the Os-
NARROW Company. He was
we'll known in the city and was a
member of a number of secret Or
ders.
Besides his parents, he is survived
by one brother, J. J. O'Neal, of Bam-
berg. The remains will be sent back
to South Carolina for interment.

1t was the pleasure of the writer to
attend the annual reunion of Com
pany G at Bethesda church last
Thursday, it being the first reunion
of the company that we have ever
attended. There was large crowd
present, the gathering being indeed
a most pleasant social occasion.
There are now only eleven surviving
members of the company, and OF
these nine were present. A goodly
number of Confederate veterans
were present, these coming to be
present in a reunion with their COM
rades of Company G.
Exercises appropriate to the oc-
casion were held in the church. Rev.
Mr.. Gleaton, of Orangeburg county,
made some appropriate remarks in
opening the meeting. Head Master
J. c. Guilds, Of the Carlisle Fitting
School, was the orator of the day,
and he delivered an elegant speech.
Mr.. J. F. Entzminger, Of Edgefeld,
also made a speech.
The dinner, which was spread on
long tables erected in the beautiful
grove in which the church is situat-
ed, was a most bountiful one, and
was heartily enjoyed. Rev. E. A.
Mcdowell asked a blessing at the
table.
The afternoon was given over to
social intercourse. The old veterans
sat around. and talked over their
experiences of by-gone days, the
young folks promenaded and talked
of other things. possibly more of the
future than the past, while no doubt
the many candidates present talked
Just little politics. There was not
an unpleasant incident to mar the
day, and we feel sure the occasion
must have been a most delightful
one to all present.

VICTIM DEAD, SLAYER GONE.
Another Tragedy at Olar, White Men
Being Principals.

The Bamberg correspondent of the
News and Courier says Coroner
Zeigler has returned from Olar, in
that county, where he went to hold
an inquest over the dead body of
Lennie Reed, young white man.
who was shot at that place by Maner
Morris, also white, on Wednesday
morning.
Little evidence was brought out at
the inquest beyond the fact that Reed
was shot and fatally wounded by
Morris. The cause of the difficulty
seems to be mystery and by some
the act is thought to be almost Who'll
ly without provocation.
Morris has left for parts unknown
and unless he concludes to surrender
his arrest is thought to be unlikely in
the near future. The usual verdict
was rendered by the coroner's jury
and a warrant for the arrest of Nor
10 "oo Q1oSOo III IAO hoAoS VI SAS
magistrate at Olar.
The coroner reports that including
the three negroes, who were lynched
near Olar a few weeks ago, that Sec
tion of the county has the unenviable
distinction of nine homicides to it's
credit (or discredit) since the Christ
mas holidays began. OF the victims
six were colored and three white.
Another unusual and interesting
fact related by him is that in the Bap-
tist church cemetery at Olar, which
was established about eighteen years
ago, are to be found the graves of
nine white men who met death at
the hands of their fellow men.

Campaign Meeting at Olar.

The campaign meeting at Olar
Wednesday of last week, the second
one for the county candidates, was
attended by a small crowd. We had
understood there was much political
interest in that section, and naturally
we expected a large crowd at the
meeting, but the crowd was not near
so large as at the Ehrhardt meeting.
The speaking commenced at about
eleven o'clock, and was held on the
station platform which was covered
and where seats had been provided,
making it very pleasant notwith-
standing the hot weather. Mr.. c.
F. Rizer presided over the meeting,
and prayer was offered by Mr.. Rich
ard Morris. Mr.. Rizer made most
happy little speech of welcome to
the candidates and others, md he
certainly lived up to all he said, as
the writer can testify, as we, with
other friends, were entertained in his
handsome and hospitable home af-
ter the meeting adjourned.
We took notes of the speeches Of
the candidates, especially those for
the senate and house of representa-
tives, but on looking over the notes
we find that while the speeches of all
the candidates differ somewhat from
their addresses at Ehrhardt, still they
are very much alike in most in
stances.
The candidates for county Offices
asked for support on merit alone,
and we never saw better feeling dis
played among candidates. No one
had anything unkind to say about
his competitors, and the only criti-
cism of an officials record came from
Mr.. Walker who mildly referred to
the fact that Mr.. Harmon was some
times hard to find at his office, to
which Mr.. Harmon replied that he
had business with a number of men
in the audience, none of whom had
been inconvenienced by him.
The candidates for the house dis
cussed the usual matters, although
B. w. Miley, Esq, varied his speech
possibly more than the others. He
and Mr.. Crum both discussed the
liquor question somewhat more than
formerly, Mr.. Crum especially stat
ing that he wanted to give the people
a chance to make a change in the
present law, as prohibition had not
proved effective.
Mr.. Hunter discussed his record
forcibly, and said it was absolutely
foolish to discuss the whiskey ques-
ton, as that was settled, the last
legislature passing law allowing all
counties to vote on the question next
year.
Mr.. Carroll made strong argu-
ment against extravaganza and nlsn
taxes, and said he wanted a chance
to help stop the leaks.
During DR.. Blacks speech, when
he referred to his support of the Gar
ris act, he was interrupted by Col.
Folk who asked him to tell the audi
ence how much money this act
brought into the county and how
much it took out. Col. Folk stated
that the Garris act only brought
about $1,000 into the county, while
it took out for other counties more
than $4,000. -
The candidates were all listened
to attentively, and from the applause
given it would be hard to say who
was the favorite. Our old friend,
H. M. Kennedy, "hee-pooed" impair
TALLY for each candidate, and put
some life and merriment into the
meeting. The next meeting is to be
held to-day Wednesday, at Far
rell's K Roads.
