TWO BOLD ROBBERIES.
Residences Entered and Goods Stolen,
Including Fine Gold Watch.

Two very bold burglaries occurred
in Bamberg on Friday, when the
residences of Miss Pearl Counts and
Mr.. D. A. Reid were entered in the
day time and some valuable articles
stolen. Both robberies took place
within a short space of time, and both
had the appearance of having been
committed by amateurs.
The burglar entered Miss Counts's
residence about noon, taking a very
valuable gold watch and a small
knife. No other articles have been
missed. Miss Counts was in the
back yard at the time, and it ap-
pears certain that the party was
watching the house for an apportuni-
ty to enter it, and as soon as she had
left the house went in and began pill
Laying. The watch stolen was highly
priced. It was solid gold, Waltham
movements, and set with a diamond
in the back. Mrs. George R. Briggs,
who also resides in the house, heard
the burglar, but thought it was Miss
Counts. The burglar opened Mrs.
Briggs's room door, but passed on un-
seen.
This was the second time within a
month Mr.. Reid's house has been
entered. On the last occasion the
burglar entered the house, with the
assistance of a wheelbarrow, through
the kitchen window. A razor and a
pair of trousers appear to have been
all stolen from Mr.. Reid's house. Mr..
Reid has offered a reward for the cap
ture of the guilty party.

WAYLAID HIS RIVAL.
Elliott Green Shoots Mike Smith to
kill.-Intlicts Serious Injury.

Elliott Green, a young negro, was
arrested Friday by Sheriff Ray and
party of Bamberg gentlemen, after
a chase of several hours, and lodged
in Jail. He shot Mike Smith the pre-
vious night, inficting a very serious,
if not fatal, wound in the shoulder.
After his arrest, Green told the Off
GERS all about his attempt to kill
Smith. and it has the Appearance of
being one of the most cold-blooded
crimes in the history of the county.
Smith was shot on or near the rail-
road track short distance from the
Southern passenger station here. dur
ing the night. 1t appears from the
story of Green that he and Smith
have been paying court to the same
damsel, and that there had been bad
feeling between them for some time
Green says that Smith had been
picking" on him, and he decided to
end his troubles with his competitor
with a Shot gun. Going to the home
of another negro the night before the
shooting, he asked for the loan Of a
shot gun. He was first offered shot
gun with a safety attachment, but he
says he returned that gun, saying
that he did not know how to operate
it, and then borrowed a single barrel
gun. Armed with this weapon, and
knowing. he says, that Smith would
pass "a certain point on the railroad,
he set his vigil for the appearance of
Smith. After waiting for some time,
sure enough Smith came into view,
with his hands clasped behind his
back.
Green called to him and told him
to keep his hands where they were,
that he was going to put an end to
him, and Herewith proceeded to emp
ty the shot gun into the body of
Smith. He states that he intended to
shoot him through the heart, but that
the load did not enter where intend
ed, instead penetrating the shoulder
Very little hope is held out for the
injured negro.
After shooting Smith he went to
the home of another negro, it is said,
with whom he had not been on very
good terms, and called on him to
come out, with the intention of put
ting him away" But this man re-
fused to come out, and thereby prob
ably saved his life.
Green was captured with the aid
of the county bloodhounds, which
trailed him to the house formerly oc-
cupied by Shady Broughton. The
officers stopped there to inquire if
the negro had been seen in the neigh
borhood. and as one of the men went
to the door, Green jumped out and
ran from the house. Chase was CIV
en-. and he was caught without diff
Guilty.

CONCERNING PENSIONS.
All Veterans and Widows Must Make
Annlication to Pension Board.

Capt. J. D. Fielder requests The
Herald to again call to the attention
of all Confederate veterans and W1d-
ows Of veterans who expect to re-
ceive a pension next year that it is
absolutely necessary for them to ap-
pear before the board and make ap-
plication for the pension. Notwith-
standing the fact that the pension
board, of which Mr.. Fielder is chair
man, gave notice through the papers
that the board would be in session at
the court house last Saturday, only a
handful of the pensioners came to
make application.
Capt. Fielder wishes toIgive posi-
tive notice that unless the pensioners
make application to the board they
cannot receive pension. This is the
law, and the board has to do as the
law requires, and while none of the
pension board would like to see
single veteran or widow barred from
receiving a pension to which they may
be justly entitled, the board feels
that they are doing all that is in their
power to persuade the pensioners to
comply with the requirements, and
if any veteran or widow fails to re-
ceive a pension next year it will be
nobody's fault but the pensioners.
The pension board will be in ses-
sion again on September 9th, Oc-
tober 11th and October 25th. If you
are now receiving a pension you must
come on one of these days and apply
for the pension next year. If you
have never received a pension and
are entitled to receive one, then
come to see the board about 1t on one
of these days. The pension board IS
composed of Messrs. J. D. Fielder, j..
B. Kearse and J. D. Rowell.

GRIFFITH FILMS A STORY
IN HIS BOYHOOD HOME

|, In the field of the silent drama the
name of David Wark Griffith, pro-
ducer of 1.-THE Birth of Nation" IN
tolerance" "Heerts of the World,''
'The Great Love" and other notable
photoplays which have achieved enor-
NOUS success the world over. is a
power second to none. The unrivaled
productions bearing his name are
household words all over the country.
Is IN Authority.
4 AIR. Griffith is an authority on ad-
yanced cinema technique. and every
new production of his offers the pub
lie delightful surprises in the way of
artistry and superb finish, so that it is
not surprising that he should be today
perhaps the most accomplished pro-
ducer of gigantic cinema spectacles in
the world.
Mr.. Griffith was born near Louis
vile, KY, his father having been the
late Brigadier- General Wark Griffith
of the Confederate Army. Mr.. Griffith
was for two years an actor when the
possibilities of the film industry ap-
pealed to him so strongly that he asso-
ciated himself with the Biograph Com
pany. His unusual creative ability
soon attracted the attention Of the stu
,iio executives. and it was not long be-
fore he WIS made a director.
Introduced Ciose-Ups
In this capacity Mr.. Griffith intro
duce innovations which changed the
whole course of the motion picture are
such as "close- "cut backs" and
the like. Many of the players whom
he trained for the screen in the early
days are now among the most proni-
nent artists in the field of the silent
drama. Chief among these is Mary
Pickford, whose Aircraft pictures
