KILLING AT EHRHARDT.
w. Hastings Barnes Slain by Frank
Morris Friday.

Early Friday afternoon w. Hast
ings Barnes was shot and killed by
Frank Morris, both prominent white
citizens of Ehrhardt. Morris gave
himself up to Marshal Priester, of
Ehrhardt, who brought him to Bam-
berg and lodged him in jail to await
trial. The details of the affair are
not known, but it appears that the
killing is result of alleged insults
on the part of Barnes to the wife of
Morris, Morris claiming that he kill
ed Barnes in defence of his wife.
The following is the testimony
taken at the inquest, which was held
by Coroner Zeigler on Saturday.
J. NJ. Kirkland, sworn says: 81
heard a gun shot while I was stand
ing in the back of the store I paid
no attention until I heard screaming,
and walked to the front of the store.
I met Frank Morris; | asked Frank
what was the matter. He said I
shot Barnes and asked me to get
the marshal, as he wanted to give
himself up, which I did,
J. w. Priester, marshal of Ehr-
hardt, sworn, says: Il heard the
shooting and looked around to see
where it was. I saw a man stagger-
ing from the front of the postoffice,
coming from the front of the door.
saw a man fall, and that time heard
screaming, and found it was Barnes.
asked several which way the shoot
ing came from, but, no one could tell
me. Some said the shooting came
from towards the mercantile store.
At that time I saw Mr.. Kirkland, and
asked him about it, and he said that
he did not see Frank Morris at all.
I then yent to his house before I saw
him. I called him to the street and
took him off from the house. He
said he was ready to go and give up
in protection to his wife. He said I
did it and under the same way would
do it again. -
DR.. Robert Black, sworn, said:
"He examined the body of Hastings
Barnes, who came to his death by
gun shot wounds. found wound
one-half inch to left of left eye, and
wound one and one-half inches above
right eye
The coroner's jury after listening
to the testimony adduced at the in
quest, rendered the following ver-

Civic League Meeting.

The Civic League meeting held in
the auditorium of the Carlisle school
on Tuesday afternoon was one Of
great interest to those present. Never
before in its history has the league
been more alive; new members are
being added at every meeting and it's
phases of activity are being broaden
ed as never before.
A detailed account of business
transacted can not be given in this
article. The committee consisting of
Mesdames Harry Murphy, E. O.
Kirsch and G. F. Bamberg, found it a
difficult task indeed to award the
prizes for the best essays, as so many
papers showed careful thought and
real merit. However, it was finally
decided that the paper of Miss Lucille
Hunter deserved first prize, and
Misses Ethel Strom and Eunice
Hunter were awarded second prizes,
their papers being so nearly equal in
every respect it was impossible to
decide between the two. The COM
mittee did not know the names Of
the prize winners until after their
decisions, as the papers were marked
by numbers only. The papers of
Misses Margaret Easterling, Evelyn
Brabham, Rebecca Dickinson, Gussie
Hutto and Margaret Jennings also
deserve mention for their many ex-
cellent points; the many readers of
this paper have a treat in store for
them as the essays written by Misses
Eunice Hunter, Margaret Easterling,
Lucille Hunter and Ethel Strom will
be published in next weeks issue.
weeks issue.
Many thanks are due Miss Kibler,
the English teacher, for her interest
in this subject.
The very kind offer of Mr.. E. A.
Hooton to award two prizes of $500
and $500 through the league, to the
two pupils in the 9th and 10th grades
writing the best papers on the sub
ject: "Why we should spend our
money at home,' was accepted with
thanks. This subject will be used by
pupils as soon as Miss Kibler sees fit
to present it to them.

Court COnVeneS.

A two weeks term of civil court
convened in Bamberg Monday morn
ing, with Judge J. w. DeVore, of
Edgefeld, presiding. The first case
called was that of Nelson versus j.
K. and l.. K. Mayfeld and ]. D.
Walsh. This case consumed all of
Monday and Tuesday, and resulted
in verdict against Walsh for $3,-
442.42, and finding for the defend
ants, in regard to Messrs. Mayfeld.
This case grew out of Nelson ship
ping to the defendants a lot of cat
tie to be fed by them. A paper,
claimed by Nelson to be a note, and
by the defendants to be a receipt,
was given for the cattle. Nelson
is alleged to have discounted the
paper, and after a portion of the
cattle had been returned to Nelson,
the balance was withheld on account
of the paper having been discounted.
The suit was a consequence of this
action -~.,

Another Wreck at Cope.

Thursday afternoon long freight
that passed thought Cope shortly af-
ter 6 O'Clock, headed for Augusta,
was badly wrecked just the other
side of the main trestle across South
Edisto river. The wreck was some
what similar to the one that happen
ed at Cope a short time ago, in
asmuch as it occurred to the middle
of; the train, only the damage was
greater, as some eight or nine cars
left the track and were piled on top
of one another. Two large steel gon-
dolas full of coal and steel tank
car were among those wrecked.
The impact was so great that coal
was thrown some forty feet or more
from where the gondola came to its
sudden stop.
The track, which was on an en-
bankment some eight or ten feet
high, was completely cleared away
for quite along distance. The pas
senger trains due at Cope at 11:13
p. m, and $40 a. m. were detoured
over the Southern from Denmark to
Pregnalls, and thence over the Coast
Line to Orangeburg and vice versa.
The 6:25 a. m. passenger was held
at Cope next morning for nearly an
hour, when passage was resumed.
1t was understood that the same en-
gineer and crew we're along that en-
countered the wreck two weeks ago.
No lives we're lost and no one was
hurt. The real cause was not ascer-
tanned. 1t required considerable
time to repair the damage.

Dispensary Sales.

The following are the sales of the
dispensaries in Bamberg county for
the month of October: Bamberg,
$4,2S9.19; Denmark, $2,4S0.76;
Olar, s2,459.31; Ehrhardt s2,64S.31
total sales, $11,S77.57.
The monthly statement shows that
there was stock on hand, in all the
dispensaries, on the last day of Oc-
tober of $10,709.55. There seems to
be no doubt about the Bamberg dis
pensaries being able to dispose of the
stock, as the sales last month were
above $1,000, whereas there is now
on hand only a little more than $10,-
600 worth of goods, and there are
still two months in which to close
out the stock.
It is also quite apparent that those
who are in a. habit of stocking up
their "Christmas supply" from the
will have to apply else
where for their cheer

6 to O.

Orangeburg, Nov. 9.-The Orange
burg High school played the strong
Carlisle school, of Bamberg, here at
noon today. The score was to in
favor of the visitors. The weather
was entirely too hot for good foot
ball. The game was the fifth that
the Orangeburg boys have played this
season, winning all except today's
game. The Carlisle eleven averaged
157 pounds. This game does not
count in the contest for the State

form to high school regulations.
The outstanding features were the
punting of Thackston for seventy
yards; Smiths receiving of forward
pass and running fifty yards; Low
mans playing in the back field, and
the playing of Watson and Van Ors-
dell in the line. Lenoir for the visi-
tors played good ball.
