MOVIE MEN BASE
HOPES ON VETO
BY MAYOR
Look to Executive to ThWart
Sunday Ban by Foes in the
City Council.

Statements of moving picture mana
gers to-day revealed that they are bas-
ing their hope of victory for Sunday
movies on the belief that Mayor Wood
ward Will veto any action prohibiting
hem.
While fifteen members of council. a
voting majority, have pledged their
support to anti-Sunday moving picture
legislation, it is very uncertain if a
two-thirds majority of council would
vote 10 override Mayor Woodward'S
geto in the matter.
Mayor Woodward declines to discuss
the matter for publication. He said
his time was taken up by the vastly

again next Sunday afternoon and night
and the proceeds will be donated to a

Following the meeting of the nine
managers, it was announced that the
E50S would be divided between the Wild
ows of the two firemen who recently
we're killed. 1t also was stated that the
donations at Sunday performances
would continue to be donated to char

Sims Now Heads Fight.
Frank Hammond, secretary to Mayor
Woodward. announced to-day that he
had retired from the leadership Of the
Sight as the representative Of the motion
picture men and that Attorney Walter
A. Sims would have charge of the cam
paign from now on.
They are going to ask the ordinance
committee Of council to delay action on
the Maddox ordinance until referen-
dunn vote by the people on Sunday pic
lures can be had. The motion picture
men offer to bear the expense of such
an election b. a system of postal card
voting.
Permits Are Suggested.
Should the counCilmen insist on rush
ing through the ordinance absolutely
prohibiting Sunday pictures, the theater
nans -ers will then start a fight in de-
rnand of the enforcement of all Sunday
blue laws.

bers Of council have suggested a com

White IIIiteracy Small.

In Georgia there are 530,63l dwelling
houses and 553,264 families, with an
average Of 40 persons per dwelling and
Al persons per family Each family,
then. keeps 2 of a boarder.
Hnteracy among native born whites
is only rs per cent. and only per cent
among whites of foreign parentage or
birth.
There are in the state 1901 males for
every 100 females. Ten years ago there
were but 991 males for every 100 fe-
males. Whether boy babies are increas-
ing in proportion. whether men live
longer now than ten years ago, or
whether women die faster is left un-
answered by the bureau.
In the cities of $500 and over there
are but 92.6 men to 100 women, and in
the country 1921 men to 100 women,
Thus it seems that, contrary to the
usual belief the women flock to the
cities in greater number than the men.

Psalm of Advertising.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
Advertising is a dream,
For the business man who slumbers
Has no chance to skim the cream
Life is real, Life is earnest.
Competitions something fierce;
If for dividends thou yearnest,
Learn the parry, thrust and tierce
In the business field of battle
Mollycoddles have no place;
Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be live one in the race.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can bring the bacon home,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints On somebody's dome!
Let US, then, be up and doing,
Otherwise We may be done;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Advertise and get the mon

VETERANS FIGHT.
Several Wounded when Veteran Re-
sented Remarks About Lincoln.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 2.-Seven
men were stabbed tonight in fight
in the dining room of the Gettys-
burg hotel as result of fight which
started when several men aroused
the anger of a veteran in blue by
abusing Lincoln. Several of the
wounded men are in a serious con-
dition at the Pennsylvania hos
pital. The State constabulary are
making efforts to find the men who
did the stabbing.
The wounded men are:
Edward J. Carroll, sergeant of the
quartermaster' corps, U. S. A., Da-
vid Farber of Butler, Pa, member
of the State constabulary; John D.
Maugin, Harrisburg; Malcolm Grit
fin of Bedford City, Pa, Charles Sus-
ter, West Fairview, Pa, Hayder Ran
is Becker, Gettysburg and Harry A.
Root, Jr., Harrisburg.
Faber, Maugin and Griffin are in
the most serious condition. Surgeons
at the Pennsylvania State hospital
would not venture predictions as to
their chance of recovery.
According to all the information
the authorities could gather the fight
started suddenly and was over in a
few minutes. 1t began shortly before
7 o'clock when the dining room was
full of people and caused a panic
among the scores of guests. The vet
eran who was unhurt and disappear
ed in the melee was sitting near Fa-
Der and Carroll, when he heard the
sighting remarks about Lincoln. He
jumped to his feet and began to de-
fend the war president and berated
his detractors. The men who were
stabbed, according to the information
the surgeons gathered, jumped to the
defense of the veteran when the
others closed in. The room was thrown
into an uproar. 1t was all over be-
fore the rest of the men in the room
could get their breath and the men
responsible for it all had fled. The
fight spurred the medical men again
tonight in an effort to have the Get
tysburg saloons closed during the re-
mainder of the celebration.
The constabulary later arrested
man who gave the name of W. R.
Henry and said his home was in Cam
den, n. j., as one of the men con-
cerned in the affray.

inviting Norman Hapgood to deliver
the annual address, when it is recall

never heard of his recanting and un-
til he does, he justly belongs to those

The Dispensary Election.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: Will
you kindly permit citizen of COL
Teton, one who lives very close to the
Bamberg line, to offer word of
solemn protest against the re-estab-
lishment of the dispensary in Bam-
berg county? The pro-dispensary
people of Colleton and Hampton have
failed in their efforts to call an elec-
ton on the qestion. But Bamberg is
a close neighbor, and should her
citizens vote for the re-esta ablishment
of this iniquitious institution it would
doubtless prove a curse to that part
of Colleton's territory which lies near
that of Bamberg. We have learned
to think we'll of Bamberg county. Will
she imperil the weak of a sister
county? We are exposed but we can
not vote. Surely your good citizens
will consider this appeal. We can
deal successfully with the "blind
tigers in our own territory, but if
you legalize it and put a dispensary
on the border of your county near us
we are powerless to deal with it. 1t
would prove a curse to us and to you.
But some one may argue that we
should have allowed the dispensary
to have been re-established in our
own county. The answer to that ar
gument may be stated thus: we will
not have rattlesnake in our own
house for the reason that some un-
wise or vicious neighbor may see fit
to keep one in his. We have protect
ed ourselves as far as we could, and
now it is but right that you be asked
to remember us and protect us when
you go to vote.
1t ought to be safe to assume that
the good people of Bamberg will put
up a strong fight against the institu-
ton. They have the courage and
the ability and so need no admonition
from me. May God help the good
people of your county to fight it to
the last ditch and win the victory.

We are publishing in this issue a
speech delivered by Senator John l..
McLaurin at Elloree on the fourth
of July. When the Senator speaks
at any time he has something inter-
esting to say, but in view of the fact
that he is viewed with suspicion as
having gubernatorial aspirations his
public utterances at this time will
have a peculiar interest for the vot-
ers. It will be noted that the Sen
ator seems to advocate woman suf-
frage, while his discussion of the
labor question and the currency prob
lem is timely. The speech is good
one, and is we'll worth careful read
ing.

The Kind that "Oughter."

Raymond, according to a recent
story, had been playing hard all day.
In fact, he was so sleepy that he want
ed to omit saying his prayers.
"But DEAR" his mother remonstra-
ted, you must be good boy and
thank God for all His goodness to
you. Just think what nice time
you've had all day, playing, and re-
member all the other little boys who
have no nice home or nice clothes or
mother to love them"
Raymond's eyes opened a little
drowsily, and out of his relaxed
mouth came this protest:
But, mother, 1 think them's the
fellers that oughter do the prayin'!"

NEGRO LYNCHED IN FLORIDA.
Florida Posse Shoots Man Who Killed
Sheriff of Clay County.

Jacksonville, July 6.-Sherif T
S. Cherry, of Clay County, Florida
adjoining this, Duval County, was
shot and killed by Roscoe Smith, a
negro, at Yellow River this morning
the negro later being captured and
lynched by a mob of infuriated citl-
zens.
Sheriff Cherry, hearing that gam
bling was going on at Stuart and Har-
rison's turpentine still at Yellow
River, started for that point, accom-
panied by one of his deputies. AS
he reached there he met the negro
Smith, who, armed with a shot gun,
was walking down the road. Sheriff
Cherry hailed the negro and asked:
What are you doing with that
gun, wait a minute l want to see
YOU"
The negro made some reply and
the sheriff left his buggy and started
toward the negro. AS he neared
Smith the latter took aim and fired,
the load entering the sheriff's side
and killing him instantly. The dep
uty. who was armed with a revolver,
started in pursuit of the negro, but
his revolver failed to fire. AS the
news of the tragedy spread, a posse
was formed and fully one hundred
men, headed by a pack of blood
hounds from Highlands, started IN
pursuit of the negro, who was finally
captured. He was taken back to the
scene of his crime and commanded tc
take a walk down the road. AS he
started, fully one hundred guns and
revolvers were fired at him, the bull
lets riddling his body. The angry
mob then surged around the dead
negro and his ears were cut off fol
souvenirs.
Sheriff Cherry was one of Florida s
most popular officers and was well
known in this city, where he spent
much time. Reports from the scene
of the crime tonight are that every
thing is quiet, but the negroes, fear
ing further trouble, are keeping with,
in doors.

Train Robbery in Mississippi.

Memphis, Tenn, July 4.-Four
bandits held up southbound passen-
ger train No. l on the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, south of Batesville,
Miss, early today, awed the train and
locomotive crews with weapons, blew
open the safe in the express car and
ransacked the mail packages and
then escaped. None of the passen-
gers were molested because the ban
dts compelled the locomotive crew
to detach the mail, express and bag
gage cars and run them some dis
tance from the passenger coaches.
After they had finished their work in
the mail car the robbers ran the loco
motive to Enid, Miss, and fed to the
open country.
Bloodhounds were placed on their
trail, and few hours after the rob-
berry big posse was in pursuit.
Passengers on the train awoke in
surprise this morning to find their
coaches still standing on the main
line of the track, where they were
abandoned when the bandits detached
the mail and express cars.
Express officials here say the rob-
bers did not secure over $4,000. Four
charges Of dynamite were used and
the explosions blew out one side OF
the express car and completely de-
molished the safe.
The bandits carried away so pieces
of registered mail.
Train No. l usually carries heavy
mail from Chicago and st Louis tc
New Orleans, but post office officials
stated the mail was light on this run
After the dead engine was found at
Pope, Is miles from where the pas
senger cars had been cut off, the
train was reassembled and the line
re-opened to traffic. 1t was founc
that the robbers had cut the tele
phone lines.

SHOT AT THE PRISONER.
Uncle of Assaulted Girl Tries to Kill
Accused in Court.

Tampa, July 3.-Just as County
Judge E. V. Whitaker adjourned
court Wednesday in the preliminary
hearing of w. E. Maddox, a white
man who is accused of criminal as
sault upon the person of Hazel Oliver,
a 13-year-old girl, E. E. Green, of
Sylvania, Ca, an uncle of the girl
and who was attending the hearing,
drew a revolver and fired three shots
at Maddox. All three shots went
wild and Green was disarmed by a
court deputy before he could get the
range on his intended victim. Green
was placed in Jail.
The first shot fired by the infuri-
ated man struck the ceiling. The
second punctured law book, the third
splintered the top of Judge Whita-
kers desk.
Maddox was seated between his
counsel, former Supreme Court JUS
tice G. B. Parkhlll and Municipal
Judge H. P. Bailey. AS the first shot
was fired Judge Whitaker lodged be-
hind his safe door, Judge Parkhill
leaped out window, Judge Bailey
and the prisoner dived beneath the
magistrates desk. Green was about
t. fire at the PROSTATE man when the
deputy sheriff grabbed him.
The hearing had just been post
pored becuse the main witness, the
girl, had not been produced. And
there was some question as to wheth-
er she was within the boundary of the
State, it being alleged that Maddox's
wife had taken her to Georgia.
