Negro Killed at Olar.

J. P. Odom was shot and killed on
Monday on the Morris place, neal
Olar, by William Draper, both ne
groes. An inquest was held by the
coroner, the jury returning a verdict
that Odom had met death at the

to have struck Vonnis, whereupon
her husband, the slain man, inter
fered and demanded to know why
Draper struck his wife. Draper then
shot Odom, according to the evidence
of two witnesses, the only ones
sworn. The testimony of Vonnls
Odom, the principal witness, is as
follows:
"William Draper and his wife were
in a fuss. He went in the house anC

Hustling Town is Denmark.

Announcing the Columbia booster
trip, the Sunday State had this to
say of Denmark:
Denmark is town of about 1880
inhabitants, situated at the intersec-.
ton of the South's three greatest
trunk lines-Seaboard Atlantic Coast
Line and Southern railways-51
miles from Columbia, Sc miles from
Augusta, 81 miles from Charleston
and 81 miles from Savannah. Dem
mark has unexcelled railway facili-
ties. Eighteen passenger trains ar
rive and depart from this place daily.
Among the enterprises of which
Denmark boasts are: The Citizens
Exchange bank, Bank of Denmark,
Denmark Oil & Fertilizer Co., Den
mark ginnery, electric light plant
with all night service, ice factory
(owned by the Carolina Public Ser
vice company, of Columbia), Coca
Cola bottling plant. Edisto Iron
works, with foundry, two wagon
shops, two garages and 80 hardware,
grocery, dry goods, millinery and
drug stores. The Denmark high
school was built in 1908 at cost
of $4,000, and is one of the most
complete and finely equipped build
ings of it's kind in this portion of the
State. The Voorhees, Industrial
school with over 800 boarding stu
dents is situated near here.
Three religious denominations are
represented in Denmark, the Metho-
dist and Baptist churches being sit
uated on Beech avenue and the Pres,
byterian at the corner of Maple ave-
nue. and Fourth street.
Electric lights were installed dur
ing the administration of Mayor j.
Wesley Crum, Jr., and movement is
now on foot to vote on the issue of
bonds for waterworks and sewerage.
Denmark has an unlimited amount
of brick and tile clays awaiting de-
velopment. That buildings corrS
structed of this material will stand
the test of time is proved by struc-
lures built of local brick which have,
been standing 60 years. Denmark
has a fertile back country with great.
cotton possibilities.

Used to Pass Bamberg.

One of, the earliest locomotives:
operated on lines now making up the
Southern railway, and indeed one Of
the first operated in the United
States, was the Cincinnati" one Of
three locomotives designed for the
South Carolina Railroad company,
now the Southern from Augusta to
Charleston, in October, 1885, by Ho-
ratio Allen and built by "Tayleur Of
England" as the builder was modest
ly styled on the original print which
is now in the achives of Southern
Railway company.
The Cincinnati was constructed
at the Vulcan foundry, Warrington,
it's serial number being 20. The on
ly dimensions of the Cincinnati"
given on the print are the following:
Cylinders 10 by 16 inches, drivers
64 inches, track gauge 60 inches
so that it was at least wider than
present day Southern railway loco
motives, if diminftive by compari-
son in other respects.
The two counterparts of the Gin
cinnati' were named the Kentucky
and the Allen" tn / last supposedly
in honor of their designer. The
names, Cincinnati and ken
lucky" are significant of the purpose
of the projectors of the South Caro-
lima railroad to build a railroad from
Charleston to the Ohio river. This
plan, of which Robert Y. Hayne was
the leading exponent, was carried
out many years later by the Southern
railway and the Carolina Special,
high class modern passenger train
between Charleston and Cincinnati,
is running every day over the same
line on which the Cincinnati" the
Kentucky and the allen saw
service in 1885.

About the livest thing in Bamberg

berg. With the outfit it is possible
to construct SO different mechanical
toys. Five votes are given for both

NEW PARCEL POST RATES.
Fourth-Class Matter Cannot Be Reg
istered, But May Be Insured.

Following is the order of the post
master general, dated August 20
|1915, amending the postal laws and
regulations, now effective at the Bam-
berg postoffice:
Effective September 1, 1915, para
graph 2, section ass, postal laws and
regulations, is amended as. follows:
Fourth-class parcels shall not be
registered, but may be insured
| against loss in an amount equivalent
to the actual value, not to exceed $5
in any one case, on payment OF a Zee
of cents; not to exceed s25, on
payment of a fee of cents; not to
exceed $50, on payment of fee OF
10 cents; not to exceed 500, on pay
ment of fee of 25 cents, in addl-
tion to the postage, both to be pre-
paid by stamps affixed; but indem-
nifty will not be allowed on loss of
such mail addressed to the Philip
pine Islands, unless the loss occurred
in the postal service OF the United
States.
This amendment provides that the
following indemnity will be paid for
loss of insured parcels mailed on and
after September 1, 1915.
Covered by a Scent fee, value up
to SIS.
Covered by a scent fee, value up
to s25.
Covered by 10-cent fee, value up
to $50.
Covered by 25-cent fee, value up
to 500.
Your particular attention is direct
ed to the Scent fee for parcels which,
in the event of loss, the sender de-
sires no more than SIS indemnity.
Your attention is also directed to
the fact that effective September l.,
1915, the postal laws and regula-
tions are amended by the insertion
of new section readlng as lollo"s.
Section 45S 1-2. On and after
September 1, 1915, the postmaster
at the mailing Office may, on payment
of one cent, give the sender of an
ordinary parcel of fourth-class mail
a receipt therefor. A postage stamp
to cover the charge for the receipt
shall be affixed thereto. The name
and address of the addressee snail
be written in the receipt by the SEN
der.
The purpose Of this receipt is to
protect senders of fourth-class par
GELS, when desired, record evldenc-
ing their mailing, for which a fee OF
one cent is charged. Their issuance
does not insure in any way against
loss of the parcel while in the mails
and no receipt is obtained from the
addressee upon delivery. Patrons
desiring to avail themselves of either
of the latter facilities are. advised to
insure their parcels.

That was goodly crowd Of goodly
men who came down from Columbia
Monday. l think everybody enjoyed
the visit of the Columbia boosters,
and felt after they left that the ties
between Columbia and Bamberg were
closer. South Carolina is big fami-
ly, and we feel proud of the advance
ment and attainments of any city or
county in it. We all feel proud Of
Columbia, and, as Bert Carter said,
Columbia is the best town in the
State outside of Bamberg. And it is
a mighty good idea to "get-together"
once in a while. I think that the
merchants and citizens should spend
their money in columbia-that is if
they can't spend it for what they
want in Bamberg. Columbia is a
fine place, and is growing rapidly,
and everybody should feel proud Of
the States capital.

But before you send your money
to Columbia, Charleston, Augusta, or
any other place, be sure that you
can't buy what you want in Bamberg.
The slogan of the Columbia boosters
is Carolina first" and that is good,
very good. But for Bamberg, our
slogan should be "Bamberg first
and then Carolina first Our in
terests lie in this city. We must all,
or at least the most of us, must make
our living here.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-09-09

There is entirely too much money
sent out of Bamberg for things that
can be- had here. It is habit with
some people to send away for their
supplies of every kind. They think
because a salesman comes around
representing a foreign" house, that
the goods must be better. and cheap
er, when frequently it is the other
way around. You can always re-
member that a salesman has big ex-
penses, and somebody must pay these
expenses. Who pays? Does the
manufacturer pay out of his profits,
or do the buyers pay the expenses
in the price they pay for the goods?
If a person in Bamberg puts his
money into a store, or any other kind
of business, and makes it credit to
the town, is it not right to patronize
that person? We all feel a pride in
our town. If you don't feel pride
in it, then the town could very well
get along without you. Well, if you
do feel a pride in things that go to-
ward making the town better place
to live in, then you should certain
ly help along any enterprise or store
that supplies your wants and needs.
So when you want to buy the next
time, visit every place in Bamberg
where you will be likely to find what
you want, and buy here. You are
due that much to Bamberg, if you
ever expect it to attain importance.
