Several car loads of cattle have
been shipped from this point recently
to the butchers. They were cattle
which had been fattened by planters
near town.
Mr.. ]. A. Spann received few days
ago another car load of cattle which
he will fatten on his farm near town.
Mr.. Spann has fed large lot OF
cattle this winter.
Work has commenced on an ice
factory for WATERFORD, that is, the
actual construction of the plant has
begun. Bamberg needs an ice fac
tory. Why don't local capitalists get
together and build one?
There are no new developments in
the matter of appointment of Master
for this county, and it stands just as
it did last week. The governor did
not appoint H. c. Folk, as required
by the primary, but instead appointed
J. S. J. Faust. The Senate did not
confirm the appointment, and Mr..
Folk is in charge of the office as
usual.
AS Bishop Guerry was expected to
be in the city this "wednesday
evening and conduct services at the
Presbyterian church, Rev. w. H.
Hodges called off the regular prayer
meeting at the Methodist church.
However, as Bishop Guerry has called
off his appointment for tonight
"wednesday the prayer meeting
will be held as usual at the Metho-
dist church.
AS was no doubt noticed from the
grand jury presentment, published
last week, there was an effort made
at the recent session Of the legisla-
ture to reduce the salaries of the au-
ditor and treasurer in this county.
This was an omnibus bill and was not
any action on the part of the dele
cation from this county. However,
it passed the house and got to the
Senate, where Senator ]. B. Black,
acting for himself and Representa-
tives J. A. Hunter and B. w. Miley,
opposed the passage of the bill so
strongly that it was killed, at least
so far as Bamberg county is concern
ed.
Last Thursday during the trial OF
the case of D. A. Kinard and Daniel
Risher, a fisticuff occurred right in
front of the court house between w.
D. Blume and J. H. Lott. There was
quite a crowd present at the time, as
the court was going to take the tes-
timony of a witness in the Cas- who
was sick in bed, and the judge and
Jurors were leaving the building
Some excitement was created because
of the difficulty, and for few min
utes the sheriff and others had
lively time separating the combat
ants. Later Judge Spain called them
both before him and fined each of
them $500 for contempt of court,
which was paid.
