issue s3,500,000 in bonds for building

In some manner the goat was given
leeway enough TO reach the rear porch
of the house where the family UNI
brella is usually kept, and when
Schermerhorn went to get the UNI
brella all he found was the ribs, which
were picked clean.
To make matters wore Ezra Hollen-

Miss "Tcpsy Turvy."

The play Miss Topsy Turvy,"
which was presented at the Fitting
School auditorium last Friday even
ing for the benef; of the civic league,
was a decided success from finan-
cial view and as source Of pure
enjoyment from beginning to end.
The cast of characters in the play
were as follows: Topsy Turvy, Miss
Nell Kearse; May Golden, Miss Elise
Rentz; Mrs. Clarendon, Miss Ollie
Lee Dobson; Miss Spriggs, Miss
Belle Cooner; LCrd Clarence, W. G.
Duncan; Frank Go den, Rex Stokes;
Deacon Jones, Frcnk Folk; and
Ned, Tillman Fielder. So we'll did
each one act their part that it would
be difficult to say which did best in
his or her role. However, Ned, the
negro, as interpreted by Mr.. Tillman
Fielder, kept the house convulsed
with laughter.

Fairy Drill by the following twelve
little girls was given: Evelyn Brab-
ham, Mildred Jones, Mary Williams,
Mary Ann Bronson, Natalie Hooton,
Marguerite Dixon, Helen Free, Irma
Dixon, Mary Frances Walker, Yancey
Graham, Ida Brabham, Adele Brab-
ham.
These little girls were trained by
Miss Nell Kearse and most gracefully
did they execute the movements,
skipping dancing and twirling their
accordion pleated skirts of pink
and white with immense bows of
pink on their heads-they could
easily have been passed for veritable
fairies, fresh from fairy land. The
march and swaying melodies for
these movements were played by
Miss Providence Graham, to which
the children kept perfect time.
One of the greatest treats of this
entire entertainment was the music
furnished. Miss Simsie McMichael,
of Orangeburg, delighted her audi
ence in three exquisite vocal selec-
tions, the third time in that lovely
little song which never grows old,
I'm a-wearyin' for you." So heartily
and vociferously was she applauded
until she was forced to give an en-
core, which she did most gracefully.
Between the acts, DR.. O. D. Faust
and Mr.. C. w. Rentz on their violin
and horn with Miss Elise Rentz as
accompanist furnished music of
which Bamberg audiences never tire
and always long for more.

COURNEY'S SLAYER CAPTURED.
Harrison Miles, Identified, Confesses
to Aiken Killing.

Aiken, Feb. 8.-Harrison Miles,
the negro who is wanted for the mur-
der of Mr.. Bradford Courtney, which
occurred near Aiken, December H.,
1912, was caught in Sylvania, Ca,
to-day by Sheriff Joyner, of that
county, and was carried to Augusta,
Ca, tonight. He has confessed to
the killing of. Courtney. Sheriff
Howard has gone to Augusta for his
prisoner, and he will probably be-
brought to Aiken tomorrow.
Rewards aggregating some $3.50
were offered for the arrest of Miles,
which is now claimed by the sheriff
of Sylvania.
1t is recalled that strenuous
search was made for Miles, after the
murder, and there was great fear Of
lynching. Even now, it has been
deemed best not to bring the prison
er to Aiken until tomorrow. The
negro was positively identified by
Sheriff Howard and Mr.. Lawrence
Courtney, brother of the deceased.

Banquet by the Ladies.

One of the most pleasant affairs
given in Bamberg in a long time was
the banquet given in the city hall last
Thursday evening to the men of the
town by the ladies of Trinity Metho-
dist church. Many invitations were
sent out, and large number were
present, proving possibly the truth
of the old saying that the nearest
way to a mans heart is down his
throat. The menu was most elab-
crate one, and everything which
could tempt the appetite was to be
had. The room was also nicely dec
Grated.
After full justice had been done
to the eatables, Mr.. ]. Caldwell
Guilds, head master of the Carlisle
Fitting School, who acted as toast
master, introduced the following
gentlemen, who were to respond to
the subjects assigned:
Bamberg, the City of Flowing
Wells-J. A. Wyman.
The Churches of our City-The
Rev. W. R. Mcmillan.
Bambergs Public School-Prof. E..
P. Allen.
Carlisle Fitting School-Prof w.
c.. Duncan.
Bamberg's Business Interests-A.
w. knight.
Bamberg and Her Sister Counties
The Rev. NJ L. Banks.
Our Young Men-H. N. Folk.
Our Ladies-The Rev. L. E. Wig
gins.
Et Cetera-The Rev. w. H.
Hodges.
Unfortunately Mr. J. A. Wyman
and Rev. W. R. Mcmillan were alb
sent, but Rev. Peter Stokes most
gracefully responded to the subject
assigned Mr.. Mcmillan. Mr.. Stokes
was a former pastor mere, ana MS
many friends heard him again with
genuine pleasure.
Mr.. Guilds was exceptionally happy
in the role of toast master, and the
evening passed off very pleasantly
The idea of the banquet was most
excellent one, and that it will bring
about good results is assured.
We are requested to state that
those ladies who furnished walters,
doilies, dishes, etc., for the banquet,
and which have not been returned
can find them at Mrs. W. D. Rhoad's,
where they will please send for them.

BEACHES SELL OUT AND LEAVE.
New Workers Quit Scene of Recent
Trial and Go North.

Aiken, Feb. S.-Frederick O.
Beach and his wife, Mrs. Camilla
Morse Havemeyer Beach, left Aiken
this afternoon for the North. 1t
could not be learned exactly where
they had gone. "North" was the
only information obtainable. 1t is
presumed by some that they have
gone to New York.
1t is of interest, also, that Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Hartman, who were
close friends of the Beaches, have
sold their property here and they,
too, returned North to-day.
The Beaches have sold their Aiken
property to the Lyonses, who, it is
recalled, occupied their residence
when the attack upon Mrs. Beach
was made last winter, while the
Beaches occupied the Turner cot
tage adjoining.
1t is clrrent report on the streets
here that his trial has cost Beach
about $4,000.
Beach was accompanied North by
Mrs. Beach, Mrs. James B. Taylor,
Mrs. Beach's sister, Miss Marion Hol-
lins, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry B. Hol-
lins, Jr., and Thomas S. Fuller, of
New York, one of counsel for the ac-
cused millionaire in his trial here.

Tuesday afternoon, February 18th,
at four o'clock, the Home Mission So
ciety will meet in Trinity church
parlor.
A representative of the woman s
missionary council recently visiting
the institutions of our home depart
ment was filled with Joy over the
progress of the work.
Cubans, Italians, Spaniards, no
longer foreigners and strangers,
were together with our home mis-
sionaries, working to bring their
kinsmen and friends into the broth
erhood of the sons of God.
In schools and kindergartens the
little children were being led into
the kingdom, and through them faith
ers and mothers were being reached.
Growth has made enlargement neces-
sary everywhere.
Here is opened for some of US an
opportunity to change our gold ana
silver into heavenly currency.
China should have the sympathy
and prayers of the Christian world in
the heroic fight that is now being
waged there against opioum.
There is nothing like it in history
1t makes our heart glad to know
that Southerner, a South Carolina
ex-Confederate soldier, led the fight:
DR.. R. C. Dubois, Presbyterian mis-
sionary. His body lies in a Chinese
graveyard but his work goes on.
The vigor and strength with which
China is graphing with her problem
should make us Americans ashamed
of the weak way in which we have
struggled with our own great curse,
the whiskey traffic.

LYNCHING THREAT AT AIKEN.
Jailer Prepares Heavy Guard fol
bradford Courtney's Slayer.

Bradford COurtney's Slayer.
Aiken, Feb. 10.-The capture, con-
fession and bringing to the Aiken jail
yesterday of Harris Myles, the negro
who killed Mr.. Bradford Courtney,
produced near-lynching to-day.
1t was generally understood that
the negro would be brought here
from Augusta late in the afternoon,
but Sheriff Howard slipped him into
the Jail yesterday morning. Though
he kept the fact very quiet, it leaked
out in some way, and during the day
a crowd began to form. Later in
formation came to Aiken that anoth-
er crowd was coming from Horse
Creek Valley, and the negro would
be taken. Lynching talk increased
and Solicitor Gunter' and the mayor
were notified. They held hurried
meeting, which resulted in Jailer
Nollie Robinson sending his family
away from his residence, inside the
jail wall, and putting a force of
armed deputies in the house.
All night the jail was guarded by
half a dozen armed deputies on the
inside of that building and other dep
uties in the jailer's house.
Sheriff Howard has declared that
he is fully determined that the negro
shall not be taken, but will go to
trial in the court house for his crime.

BEER BOTTLE STARTS FIRE.
Glass Reflected Suns Rays and Put
Forest in Blaze.

What, if any, correction there is
between the annual Fourth of July
intoxication of lumberjacks and the
forest fire loss is a question to be Sc
riously investigated by the State for
est fire service the coming year.
A direct assertion Of a fire being
caused by a beer bottle DISCARDED
beside the trees by some holiday rev.
e:er has reached the commission and
has determined the service to cause
aD investigation, because large pro-
portion of forest fires have hereto
fore been of most mysterious origin,
says a correspondent of the Spokane
Spokesman-Review. In an official
statement just made public the State
forester says:
MANY fires are reported each
season by fire wardens, originating
along the travelled roads and trails
from causes unknown. No doubt
many of these fires can be attributed
to the carelessness of travellers along
the highways. A cigar stub, cigar
cite or match carlessly thrown and
left to shoulder is the cause of many
fires.
Some of these may have been
caused by the suns action-rays To-
cused through glass bottles discard
ed by travellers. Those who are ia
miliar with the ways of some woods
men-be he the shanty boy of earlier
days in the Eastern States, or the
lumberjack of the Western States
know that many an empty bottle has
found lodgment in the forest materi-
al alongside of road or trail on the
way to camp. This is not true of all
woodsmen, but some have their fall
ings and have left empty TASKS by
the wayside.
Under date of November II,
1912, J. Markson, of Tacoma, Wash,
in a letter to the State forester, and
fire warden, writes of his observa-
tion and suggests method for pre-
venting such occurrences of fires in
forest material from this cause. His
letter in part follows:
"'Eight years ago, while living in
Gray's Harbor, my duties caused me
to cover a good deal of territory in
and through the woods. One day
at noon I was crossing an unused
trail up the Wishkah river when l
discovered a little smoke coming
from among a few leaves. | looked
about, saw no one, and after careful
ly investigating I discovered broken
beer bottle, the bottom rejecting
squarely the suns rays, making it
act, as it did, a burning glass. l be-
lieve if glass found in the woods, es-
pecially IN open dry places, was kick
ed or buried under earth, the glass
could not do the work I saw glass
trying to do. l kicked this bottle
under ground and put out the fire
j st beginning
