Mr.. Joe COrbett Killed.

Mr.. Joe Corbett, a member of the
firm of Garris & Corbett, of Den
mark, was almost instantly killed
near Savannah Tuesday of this
week. Mr.. Corbett was in charge of
saw mill for his firm over in Geor-
gia, and the county chain gang were
cutting trees. A huge tree about one
hundred feet long fell on him, crush
ing his skull and killing him almost
instantly. The body was brought to
Denmark this "wednesday morn
ing, and the burial will take place
at Denmark tomorrow. Mr.. Corbett
was about fifty years old, and leaves
wife but no children. He was a
man with many friends, who regret
his untimely death.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1912-04-18
Death of Joe Corbett.

This community was saddened by
a telephone message stating that Mr..
Joe Corbett had received painful
accident.
It seems sthat while being on the
public highway in a buggy with
member of his family, the county
chain gang cut and threw a very
long pine tree, one limb of which
struck Mr.. Corbett on his head,
crushing his skull, and from the
time of the blow until his death he
was unconscious. The horses at
tached to the buggy being scared,
ran away, tore up the buggy, pitched
out the lady, and she is very severe
ly and painfully injured. After receiv-
ing the message Mrs. Corbett went
to her husband with others and was
with him to the last, but from the
time of the accident he was uncon-
scious, his skull being crushed and
his brains OOZlnS OUT.
Mr.. Corbett leaves wife and no
children to survive him, an aged
father, who is above 80 years of age,
and who only recently was at deaths
door. Joe, as he was commonly call
ed, hung over his father, both night
and day, and it now seems strange
that this venerable man should be
witness to the burial of his own
son. Joe was loved by everybody
who knew him. He was not an edu-
Gated man, but he had acquired a
large fund of information, and as
sawyer he was regarded as the most
skilled man in all this section of
the country. Everyone said that
what could be done with piece of
timber, Joe, with his saw, could make
it. He was a member Of the firm of
Garris & Corbett, and kept up the
saw mill end of the business. He
will be sadly missed by the COM
munity.
Had Joe Corbett had musical
education, he would have enjoyed a
reputation that would have been en-
viable. His rendition Of "The Holy
City, at one of the entertainments of
denmark was considered the musical
treat of the occasion, and many, in
fact, all who heard him, were sur
prised at the richness, fullness, and
musical qualities of his splendid
voice, and it fills all with sadness
that no more shall that voice be
heard in our community.

he exercising any authority? Is it

then it should disband!

Sensation at Denmark.

Serious trouble was narrowly
averted at Denmark one day last
week on account of the charge of at
tempted assault against two proml-
nent young white men of that town.
\ young married lady of the Olar
section of this county was at the
depot to take the night train to Au-
gusta, she having with her an infant
only a few months old. While wait
ing for the train it is charged that
Mr.. Marshall, the ticket agent, in
suited her and attempted the crime.
Mr.. Lee Bamberg was also implicated
in the affair, but it appears from the
best information we can obtain that
he was only present after the alleged
attempt and possibly had something
to say, along with Marshall, who
continued to annoy the lady after
she had gone back inside the depot.
The facts published in another
column, taken from the Bamberg
correspondence of the News and
Courier, are practically the same
that we have obtained, which are
that Marshall offered to assist the
lady to the train and when she went
out of the depot with him she found
it was freight instead of passen-
ger train. That then the attempt
was made and she jerked loose from
him and went back inside the depot,
where he followed and continued to
annoy her until the town marshal
came in and she had the two men
arrested.
The lady went on to Augusta that
night, but next day the husband and
other relatives came to Denmark,
and for while serious trouble was
feared. Finally, however, the mat
ter was quieted by taking out war
rant for the young men and bring
ing them to Bamberg and putting
them in jail. A preliminary nearing
was to have been held Monday, and
Magistrate Ray came down for this
purpose, but the defendants waived
the hearing. Bamberg is out on
bond, but Marshall is still in jail.
The matter is now ended until court
convenes here in July (if a summer
term is heidi when the case will
come up for trial, the charge being
attempted criminal assault. 1t is
likely that there will also be civil
action against the railroad company
for damages, as Marshall was en-
ployed by the railroad. We have un-
derstood that this is not the first
time that ladies have had unpleasant
experiences while awaiting trains at
this station.

Drank Too Much Whiskey.

Florence, April 15.-Ross Smith,
one of the negroes working on the
streets here for the Atlantic Bitulith-
ic company was found dead in his
bed at negro boarding house yes
terday. He had tried to drink six
quarts of liquor on Saturday night
and drank five of them, but the coro-
ner had a job next day. His partner
who was drinking, but more moder-
ately, slept with the dead man all
night and left him in the morning
not knowing that he was dead.
