Insane Negro Causes Alarm.

Manning, July ga great deal OF
excitement was caused here about
noon to-day by telephone call from
the residence of G.. r. Sprott, situ-
ated nearly a mile from the court
house, for police protection from a
drunk or crazy intruder. Sheriff
Gamble and a number of citizens hur-
fied out in automobiles and overhaul
ed the man in a ditch some distance
from the house, bound him and
brought him in and lodged him in
Jail. Mrs. Sprott says that she and
her husbands mother were sitting in
the front hall when they saw a
strange negro hurriedly following a
buggy along the street, gesticulating
in a peculiar manner, and she re-
marked that the man was either
drunk or crazy. Fearing that he
might turn in the yard she got up
and locked the door and called the
children in from the back yard. She
then went towards the front and saw
the negro standing at the door and
pounding the plate glass with his
fists. She ordered him away, saying
that if he did not leave she would
shoot him, and then hurried upstairs
for a pistol. AS she came down the
stairs, pistol in hand, she saw the
negro hurl a brick that crashed
through the heavy glass of the front
door, and in lodging the brick she
fell to the floor. AS she arose she
saw the man peek in the door ap-
parently to see if he had hit her.
Seeing her get up with the pistol still
in hand he crouched down and has
tened out of the piazza beyond her
line of vision. In the meantime the
cook had called farm hand from a
nearby field and he came around the
house just as the intruder was start
ing off and knocked him down with
stick, but he got up and hurried
away. He had not gone far when he
| met the first of those who had re-
sponded to the call for help. He rush
ed up to E. G. Thames and struck
him on the head with his fist, lodged
a small knife that Mr.. Thames had
in his hand, turned into some bushes
and concealed himself in deep ditch
where he was presently found and
| hauled out. It afterwards transpired
| that the negro is named George
Frierson and that he has been work
ing for a number of years at Harvin's s
sawmill 1t is said that he has been
showing evidences Of insanity for a
day or two, and that he was sent out
with a team this morning and at the
time of his arrest it was not known
what he had done with the team.
From the Edgefeld Advertiser of
June 26th, 1912: "Mr. H. A. Al
drich, whose local may be read else
where in this paper, has been doing
some splendid work in Edgeield.
He knows all about sewing machines,
having made a speciality of that work
for many years. We have some OF
his work and it is not only first-class
but of the edition-de-luxe variety
and deserves appreciation"

The Herald has always stood for
the best interests of Bamberg's peo-
pie. Ifthere has ever been time when
we advised them wrong we have not
heard of it. In business and politics
we have always stood for those things
which make for good government
and a greater town and county. You
may disagree with us as to the pres
ent governor, but we ask you to con-
slider the fact that We have never ad-
Nsed you wrong so far.

This newspaper has no personal

frank to say so, but We freely con-
cede to others the right to vote and

posing him we believe we are stand
ing for the best interest of South
Carolina and all its people. The best
friend of the poor man is the law,
and when the law is trampled on and
thrust aside it is certain that the
man without money or influence will
be the sufferer. The poor man is
the backbone of this country, and
we shall always stand for his rights.

Thursday, August 1, 1912.

The question before the people OF
South Carolina to-day is not one of
partisan politics, or the success or
downfall of any man. 1t is ques-
ton of the best interests of the State,
and every voter should cast his ballot
for the glory of his State.

Gov. Blease has turned lot of his
former friends from him, and if he
has converted a single opponent to
his cause we have not heard of 1t.
With this fact in view, it ought to be
easy to forecast the result of the pri-

II ydn try to duplicate the show at
the odeon for the last half OF the
week. Three crowded houses greeted
the new bill which opened at the reg
ular 2;3O matinee.
Arthur Rorella, the greatest one
man act in vaudeville, presented his
laughable stunt, the Musical Gem

edy, which kept the audience in one
continual uproar.
Mr.. Borella has been connected, for
the last eight years with the prin-

laughable oddities have been pro-
duced by him.
Miss Jennie DeWeese, trick musica!

Cuba presented novelty In that
line, Miss DeWeese plays the violin
left handed, and extracts music from
the instrument while holding it in a
number of difficult positions.
Cuba" does a lot of good tricks
with human intelligence and does his
work in a bright and snappy manner
AT the finish the lady does buck
dance, while playing her own music
on banjo, juggling the instrument
at the same time.
The Osaka Japanese troupe closes
the show with a foot balancing act
and the clever worth of the differenl
members of the company stamps them
as the best in their line. A tob
weighing seventy pounds, balanced
and juggled with the feet is truly
marvellous, the foot work of one Of
the troupe with paper umbrella

be brought to perfection.
Two feature reels opened the bin

ance that pleased the large crowds
who attended the odeon's three shows

deed from the commissioner, the land
remained on the land books assessed
with taxes in the name of Marcellus
Stump, the former owner, and pres
ent owner of the equitable title. 1t
was sold in March 1903 in the Mans
of Marcellus Stump, for the delin>
quent taxes of 1900, as a tract OF
fifty-nine acres, and was purchased
by the defendant, Edwin L. Brannop
for 1880.
The tax deed recites that the sale
was commenced and completed in the
month of March, 1903, and the plain
tiff alleged that the invalidity of the
deed was thereby shown, because the
sheriff could not then lawfully sell.
The court says The time when
he (shcriff) shall sell depends upon
statute" and adds further: THE
statute says he must sell on the first
day of circuit court, whichever Is
first held, after the completion of
publication. No other time is given.
Does it atfirmatively appear that the
sale was no commenced on the first
day of the first term of court, cir
cult or county, whichever was first
held in 1903? We think 1T does, and
in the following manner. Under the
law then Q9O3) in force, Code 1893,
for Gilmer county was, appointed fot
page 114S) term of the circuit court
/ the first day of February. This fact
we take judicial knowledge OF be-
cause it is fixed by public statute.
The sheriff's return of sales, and the
deed, both show that the sale was
begun on the second, and completed
on the third day OF March, 1903, a
time beyond the February term OF
circuit court" And again the court
holds: Seeing that there was \
term of the circuit court for Gilmer
county which the statute says shall
be held on the first day of February,
we are. of the opinion that the sheritt
could not lawfully sell in the month
of March. Whether the February term
of the circuit court was actually helu,
or not, is not material, because the
time fixed by the statute for the hola
ing of the court is more material, in
determining the time when the sher-
if should publish notice that his sale
will be made, than the actual holding
of the court on the day fixed"
The tax deed was held to be void.
Among other points held in this
case are: IF sheriff should
not receive the list of delinquent
lands from the auditor in time 70 COM
plete the publication of notice of sale.
and thereafter sell in November OF
December, as provided in Sec. 6, Chap.
81. Code 1906, he must, after first

first fixed by law to be held in the

Noisy Clocks

From the New York Press.
 A London firm of clockmakers not long ago discovered that a rival German com pany was doing a large business in cheap clocks and seeing that there was profit in the transaction, the London firm in- vested a large sum of money in the man. ufacture of clocks destined for Africa They determined to give the native a bet ter article than the German one.
 The clocks were shipped, but the sales were very slow, while the inferior Ger man article went off freely. At last the puzzle was explained. The new clocks were too quiet Those supplied by the Germans had a particularly aggressive tick that satisfied the savage's love of noise. The noiseless clock might be and was better timekeeper, but the natives would have none of it. At the next ship ffient all this was changed. Worth gave place to sound, and clocks went to AfIi- ca that licked loudly enough to satisfy the most noise loving native. The people were delighted and the clocks sold.
