The health in this community
(Lemon Spur is good. We fully
believe in a few more years, with
good drinking water and vigorous
>dghts against mosquitoes, and other
germ laden insects, that malaria and
the dreaded typhoid, and hemmor-
rhagic fever will be thing of the
past in Bamberg county. Only a
few years ago there was a great
deal of sickness every fall, that now
is SO much lessened by determined
methods of screening, draining, etc.
On last Wednesday about noon a
tenant house on Mrs. Eugenia Whet-
stone Rice's, plantation was burned
and in it the eighteen months old
child of Raleigh Williams, colored,
was burned beyond recognition OF
humanity.
Hampton school began its session
last Monday with Miss Kate .Korne-
gay as teacher. There are only a
very few pupils in the district OF
Hampton.
We must comment on some of Su-
peryisor McMillan's road manage
ment. Some beautiful work has
been done on the road leading from
Bamberg to Spring Branch and on
to the swamp. Then some much
needed repairing has been done on
the Bamberg- -Ehrhardt road, but
there's more to follow. The Office
of supervisor is much before the
public all the time, as everybody
travels some, and never fail to criti-
cize the failures, but seldom compi-
ment the successes.
The writer attended the mission
ary picnics given by the W. NJ. S. OF
Spring Branch church on the 18th.
Ice cream and lemonade was sold all
day and ia neat sum realized to be
reported at the Blackville meeting.
On Sunday, the 18th, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs T. ]. Crider, of Spring Branch,
their daughter, Blanche, Sand Mr..
Loiless Eugene Murray, of Summer
vile, were married. Quite a crowd
witnessed the ceremony, performed
by Rev. B. D. Bolen, her pastor. The
young couple left Immediately after
the ceremony for their future home
at Charleston. We wish for them
much happiness, as Blanche seems
quite near the writer after three
years relationship as teacher and
pupil.
In last weeks issue The Herald
commented on the soil adaptibillty
of Bamberg county to rice The
writer has often been told of the ef-
forts made during slavery times to
grow rice along Lemon Swamp. A
canal that is across the Ssouthern
part of causeway on Ehrhardt-Bam-
berg road, was cut by Mr.. Bailey S
slaves during the early COS. This
afforded drainage sufficient for rice
production and it was found to be
profitable undertaking. After the
war and during reconstruction, the
scarcity of labor caused a discon-
tinuance of that To show how far
away rice production has been to our
people a pupil in agriculture asked
us last year if "home made rice
tastes as good as "store bought"
rice. Bamberg county has tasted
and enjoys the appetizing "home

SHOOTS j. w. ROUSE.
The Seward gateway., 1915-11-20
EDITH CAVELL WAS KILLED
 BY A PETTY OFFICER

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 24.-The re- port which has recently reached this city concerning the execution of Miss Edith Cavel, the young English wo- men who was shot by the Germans in Belgium a few days ago, gives all of the horrible details of the event and shows to what lengths German officers are going in order to fulfil the orders of their government. The re- port states that the girl stood up against a wall and was bhndfolded, as were the men prisoners, and a dozen guns trained on her body, but after the volley was fired, she still stood, and it was found that, of the dozen shots fired, only one had touched the body of the heroic wO- man.
 When he saw that the shooting did not have the desired effect, the petty officer in command of the firing squad walked up to the still standing girl and, drawing his revolver, placed it to her ear and blew out her brains. It is understood that all of the men who composed that particular squad are to be courtmartialed for neglect of duty.
 The Germans claim that harsh measures are necessary in order that the persistent opposition of the Bel gians and English in Belgium be over come. They claim that a regular organization, having as its object the helping of prisoners to escape, has been established and that there is no other means of teaching the malcont- ents that they, as conquerors, must be obeyed.
 The plan of the conspirators is clever one. A stag line was establish ed from Brussels to the Dutch front fer, and, after prisoners had been brought to the hospitals at Brussels, presumably i'll or wounded, they would be smuggled on the stage to the border and taken into Holland at night.-Ex.

THE VALENTINE CASE

JUNEAU-Mrs. Josephine G. Valentine has brought suit for divorce against her husband, Emery Valen- tine, charging drunkenness, cruelty and adultery. The latter charge, however, is very indefinitely pleaded.
 Mrs. Valentine also asks for ali mony at the rate of $4,OOO year, or a lump sum of $3O,OOO. She alleges that Mir. Valentine is the owner of real estate to the value of $7O,00O and personal property to the value of $15,OO0, and has an annual income of $l5,OOO a year, and further says that her own property is limited to a house and lot valued at $5,000 on which there is mortgage of $l 300.
 There is probably not wol'an in Juneau who receives large! o.'di of the public respect than Mrs. Valentine, nor one who has so large circle of friends who love and ad- mire her. Emery Valentine was sev- eral times the mayor of Juneau, and it is no disparagement to his success sers to say that in many respects he was the best mayor Juneau ever had. He holds a conspicuous place in this city by reason of the fact that he has shown a splendid public spirit in a community in which the civic sense is rather undeveloped.-EX.

NEWS NOTES

The regular meeting of the Moose lodge was postponed last night ow- ing to the failure of the lights.
 Owing to the great weight of snow on the wires at one side a telephone pole broke and fell on Fourth avenue this morning. The pole is the one in front of the Brown & Hawkins stores. In falling it injured the railing of the balcony but no other damage resulted except that part of Fourth avenue for a time looked like a wire defense works that had been sheIled by the Germans.
 The Merry Thimble Club will not meet next Wednesday afternoon, ow- ing to it's nearness to Thanksgiving but will be postponed for one week.
 Owing to the fall of snow along the track last night the train did not leave for the front on schedule time this morning. Archie Hancock and a crew of eight men worked all night making Q snow blow to go in front of the engine, and thought it would ! be finished some time this afternoon. l One report says there is eighteen l inches of snow on the summit at Mile Twelve.
 The Misses Sexton, Turnbull and Margaret Romig walked out to the Bungalow this morning to spend the week end. They will be joined this evening by Neil Sexton and Walter Farmer.
 Lane Yaeger came over from his camp on Fourth of July creek this morning and returned again this af- ternoon. He reports considerably more freshly fallen snow over there than in the town.
 The Northern has a novel idea for cleaning off their bit of cement side walks, turning hot instead of cold water on the ice and snow.
 Frank Skeen has returned after having finished his assessment work on the mine at Mile Seven.
 Snow slides up the gulch were the cause of stopping the lights last night.
 Al Chamberlin took out his dog team for try out as far as Mile Two or whereabouts. Mrs. Leslie Cramer was a passenger, and no doubt the first lady in Seward to have a dog team ride this winter
 Deputy Marshall Isaac Evans, and Mrs. Evans, are returning passengers on the Alameda which left Seattle Wednesday.
