Hugh Long Found Not Guilty

Aiken S. c., June 6.-Hugh Long,
member of the South Carolina Leg
islature from Aiken county, was late
yesterday acquitted of the charge OF
having murdered Pickens N. Gunter'
a banker at Wagner, S. c., last fall.
The trial came to an unexpected
close when the foreman of the jury
on announcement that the evidence
was all in, informed Judge Gary that
the jurors had made up their minds
and did not care to hear arguments
by attorneys. The court permitted
the Jury to retire and in exactly one
and a half minutes they returned a
verdict of not guilty

Woman's Missionary Institute.
The Western Division of the Wo.

The Western Division of the Wo~
mans Missionary Institute met with
the Bamberg Baptist church June Sd
and 4th with about thirty-five dele
gates in attendance. This meeting
was one of the most helpful and in
spring ever held in Bamberg and
we regret sincerely that more of the
ladies of the town did not avail them
selves of the opportunity to attend
and hear the splendid speakers.
Mrs. Hatcher, of Johnston, S. c., is
the president of the Woman's Miss
ionary Union and her lecture on The
Rearing of the Child" taken from
the Scriptural text, Take this child
and most instructive talks given.
thee thy wage was one of the best
and most instructive talks given.
How we wish every mother in Bam-
berg could have heard it!
Mrs. Clinkscales, of Anderson, S..
c., was another Intelligent speaker
on this occasion and charmed her
listeners as she gave her experiences
in the work of organizing the young
people into the service for their mas
ter. She emphasized the Importance
of organization in every line of
church work, basing her theory on
the fact that Christ first organized
and then fed his people.
Mrs. Fizer, of Columbia, S. c.,
gave several splendid talks and one
could not but be impressed with her
earnestness and enthusiasm for the
great cause for which she has given
her life.
Sainted Mrs. C. E. Watson, of
Greenville, S. c., was present and
was an inspiration to every one.
The one great regret of the meet
ing was that Rev. and Mrs. Mcmillan
could not be present.
We hope Bamberg will have the
great pleasure of having this 'Instl-
tute meet with them again.

New Rural Routes.

For some time the postmaster at
Bamberg has been endeavorlng to
have two additional free delivery
routes established from this post
office, and with the assistance of Mr..
J. J. England for one and Capt. w.
S. and Col. G. E. Bamberg for the
other, it seems likely that they will
be established. Petitions were circu-
lated some time ago and forwarded
to the department, and this week
Inspector G.. F. Bean has been here
and made an inspection on both
routes. It is confidently believed
that he will report favorably on both
routes and that the people to be
served by the additional carriers will
soon be receiving the benefits of free
delivery.
Route No. 8 goes out on the New
Bridge road to the Charleston & Au-
gusta road and then down by Mid
way and into the Briar Creek section,
serving that territory not now reach
cd by Route No. 1 and the Branch
vile route.
Route No. goes out by Capt.
Bamberg's and serves the territory
not reached by Route No. 2 and the
Denmark route, coming back to town
down the Charleston & Augusta road
by Mr.. J. w. Stewart's and there TAX
ing the short road to town. The
routes as now proposed will give the
patrons of the Bamberg office a SER
vice which is much needed, and as 1t
seems that all the requirements of
the post office department have been
complied with, no doubt the two ad-
ditional routes will be added, which
will give us four routes out of Bam-
berg.
If the two proposed routes are es-
tablished, an examination will be held
soon for carriers. We might say in
this connection that the postmaster
at Bamberg will have nothing to do
with the appointment of carriers.
These positions are obtained by COM
petitive examination only, and the
one who makes the highest marks en-
this examination will receive the ap-
pointment, provided the other re-
quirements are met. Possibly the
postmaster will hold the examination,
but all the papers will be sent to
Washington and the officials there
will announce the winners. The po-
sition of rural carrier is now good
one, paying s1,100 a year, with two
weeks holiday during the summer
on full pay, besides having all the
legal holidays.

ASKED TO SHOW ASSETS
REFEREE ALLEGES CONCEAL
MENT OF PROPERTY.
Claims President Of Defunct Inter
State Trust Company Has Hid
den Values.

Aiken, June 10.-Papers demand
ing that B. Sherwood Dunn, presi-
dent of the bankrupt Interstate Trust
company, produce assets to the
amount of $4,000, which Capt. w.
w. Williams, referee in bankruptcy,
alleges that Dunn has concealed, were
served today on Dunn by order of
Capt. Williams.
This action grows out of the invol-
untary bankruptcy proceedings in
connection with the Interstate Trust
company, which owned the Citizens
Trust company of Augusta, because
of the failure of which institution
Dunn has been indicted in Georgia on
a charge of violating the banking
laws of that State.
Capt. Williams alleges that some
time ago Dunn swore in the presence
of his attorney that. the Interstate
Trust company owned assets amount
ing to S350,OO0. Named in the sched-
ule were several thousand dollars
worth of household goods, books, tap
estries, bric-a-brac, paintings, bank
fixtures, etc., most of which were said
to be in the magnificent Aiken home
of the Dunns on Hayne avenue.
Three or four months ago United
States Marshal Adams came to Aiken
from Charleston and, acting upon in
structions from the United states
court, took possession of the Dunn
home. The Dunns, have been per-
mitted to occupy the house since then,
however, until yesterday a sale was
held on the premises under direction
of the referee in bankruptcy. Goods
to the amount OF from $500 to S40O
were sold. 1t had been advertised
that the sale would continue from day
to day until all the goods in the house
were sold, but Capt. Williams has
called off the continuance of the sale,
stating this morning that it would be
postponed until other goods, named
as assets, were located. He claims
that certain valuable goods have been
removed from the Dunn home, and
has taken action to compel Dunn to
produce them.
Criminal action may follow.

In a japanese Sleeping Car.

If you have ever tried one ride in
the upper berth of Japanese Sleep
ing car, you won't want to try it
again. When one boards the trains,
five lowers and eight uppers are still
vacant, and so remain all night. One
endeavors, after a glance at No. 9,
to get the porter to make up one OF
the vacant lowers, but he is proof
against pleading and pelf. 1t is diff
fcult to get your clothes off when
there is only II inches of space be-
tween you and the top of the car, and
you happen to have fairly long legs.
Passengers are informal in a jap
anese sleeping car. Most of the ma
tives remove none of their clothes ex-
cept their coats, but taking off their
shoes, coil up on the seat, which,
fortunately runs lengthwise of the
car. Then at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing a young Japanese who is trying
to improve his English wakes up the
American woman who has the upper
berth opposite his own and begins to
tell her in careful but loud speech
of her own kind some of the sights
she ought to see in Toxic, which
so outrages her sense of modesty that
she snores to choke him off.
Fortunately the car is provided
with little dressing rooms, else no
man of fair proportions who has been
roasting in an upper berth could get
his clothes on.
