Carter Admitted to Bail.

Amos Carter, a negro who shot and
killed Eston Priester, another negro,
near Ehrhardt on November 5th, has
been admitted to bail in the sum of
$1,000, and bond has been furnished.
This killing occurred on the planta-
ton OF Mr.. J. NJ. Dannelly, and was
the result of a quarrel over the TAX
ing up of a cow. 1t is said that
Carter took up a COW belonging to
Priester, which was running on Car
ter's crops. Priester went to Car
ter's house to get the COW, having a
gun With him, and demanded, the ami
NAL. Upon being refused, he told
his son, who was with him, to get
an axe to break the lock to the fence.
The testimony then shows that Car
ter got his gun, and claims to have
shot only to prevent Priester from
killing him. Carter also alleged that
Priester's COW had been allowed to
run on his crops previously, and that
Priester had threatened to kill him
for taking up the animal or previous
occasions.

Carnival Couldn't Show Here.

Quite a bit of interest was created
in Bamberg last week when a carni-
val company arrived in town unher-
aided and tried persistently to Sc
cure a license to show here. The
city authorities would not permit the
aggregation to exhibit, but the carni-
val people, not meaning to be out
done, proceeded to erect their tents
just outside the corporate limits of
the town. Then the sheriff appeared
on the scene and prohibited them
from showing there. The carnival
then left town Thursday. Public SEN
timent in Bamberg is not very favora-
BILE to such takers, and there has not
been a carnival in the town for sew
eral years, though they have shown
outside the city limits.

Last Thursday afternoon, Nov. 20,
little MILFORD Earl, the four year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Aver, died
at their home in the county. The
little boy had been sick about a week,
with congestion of, the brain and liv-
er. The remains were inferred Fri
day afternoon at St. Johns Baptist
church, Rev. D. H. Owings conduct
ing the service. He was a bright lit
tie fellow and had many friends in
the community.
On Saturday following the death
of their little boy, Mr.. and Mrs. Aver
again suffered a misfortune, when
their little girl, aged two years, was
seriously burned. The little girl is
getting along nicely, however.

COUNTY FAR BEHIND.
County Chairman Urges People to Re-
deem Their w. S. S. Pledges.

To the Citizens of Bamberg County1
am receiving constant and urg-
ent appeals from the State War Saw
ings committee urging that We re-
deem, without fail, the pledges which
we made in June for the purchase Of
war savings stamps. You will recall
that at that time Bamberg county at
tracted wide attention for the splen-
did way in which our people pledged
for the purchase of these stamps. We
| pledged, during the campaign, that
we would purchase between then and
the first of the year two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in stamps. Our
records show that to date We have
purchased less than n hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars WORTH
| am sure that 1 need but to re-
mind you that these pledges were an
obligation to the United States gov
eminent, and that they should be
regarded as binding as any obliga-
lions we have made. 1t would be a
lasting shame if our county failed to
purchase the amount of stamps which
she pledged to purchase, and I am
sure that we will not allow that con-
dition to exist, nee the matter has
been brought to our attention. The
fact that the war is over in no sense
relieves us of this obligation. The
government is still having, and will
continue to have, enormous expenses.
The fact that the price of cotton
is lower than we want it to be may
make it a little harder for us to buy
these stamps, but it does not in any
sense relieve us of this obligation.
I take this method, therefore. of
calling on all the War Savings COM
mittee who worked so faithfully in
our June campaign, and upon all of
the loyal and patriotic citizens that
we make plans Immediately to re-
deem every pledge before the last of
December. We cannot and will not
fall down on this proposition.
J. CALDWELL GUILDS,
Chairman War Savings Com.

 A man was elected to the state leg islarure in Arizona not so very long ago and I supported him because thought he was a good man; able and conservative. He stood up and fought a bill calculated to injure my railroad His friends and mine were afraid for him to run for reelection They thought he was killed politically. l could not see il that way l thought he ought to run just to see how badly he would be beaten He did run again and he led the ticket
 Why net?
