Death of MIR. L. A. Klauber.

Mr.. L. A. Klauber, father of Col.
W. A. Klauber, of Bamberg, died at
Hendersonville, N. c., on Monday.
Mr.. Klauber had been in i'll health
for some time, but his death came
as a great surprise to his friends and
relatives, as his condition had ap-
parently improved. A few days pre-
viously he went to Hendersonville
from his home at St. George for a
short stay.

The cotton ginners hereabouts are
running full time now. 1t is stated
that the fleecy staple is opening very
fast, and in many fields the entire
crop is now open and ready to be
picked.
The Powell Contracting company
started the latter part of last week
the work of placing concrete on Main
street. The work was started at the
cotton mill corner, and the sidewalks

There is a slight touch Of fall IN
the atmosphere these days, despite
the hot sunshine And the nights
are growing longer. All of which
reminds us that the lazy summer
days are fast drawing to close.
The demand for houses grows more
acute every day. While this is strik-
ing evidence of the growth of the
town, it is also evidence of the fact
that something ought to be done
along this line. People cannot come
to Bamberg to live unless housing
facilities can be had.
Governor Cooper, the commissioner
of agriculture and the American Cot
ton association have appointed the
following delegates from this coun-
ty to attend the cotton meeting in

Street Commissioner LaVerne
Thomas has notice in The Herald
today requesting all shopkeepers on
Main street to sweep the sidewalks
each Saturday night before they close
up. This is an excellent suggestion,
and we hope that it will be carried
out. Mr.. Thomas states that the
town endeavors to have the street
clean on Sunday, and with the CO.
operation of the storekeepers this
can be more effectively done.
The general practice of promis-
cuously shooting pistols and shot
guns when the fire whistle blows is
very confusing and should be discon-
tinued. It is usually absolutely i'm
possible to locate a. fire under the
present arrangement until the blaze
is seen. Everybody seems to be pref
ty we'll acquainted with the sound OF
the fire whistle. That is sufficient
alarm. When there is fire the pop
ping of guns and pistols sounds like
the Germans starting an offensive on
the Western front.

COURT CONVENED MONDAY. .
Carroll Mobley Acquitted. - Many
Liquor Cases Disposed OF.

Considerable business has been
turned out by the court of general
sessions which convened in Bamberg
Monday morning with Judge Wilson
presiding. Solicitor Gunter and
Stenographer Brown were in their
places. Only few petit jurors were
excused from service. and there was
very little delay in getting down to
work.
The first case tried Monday was
that of the State versus Carroll Mob
ley. the young white man who shot
and killed Agent Brown during the
shooting affray at Denmark a few
weeks ago. Only three witnesses
were sworn, after the examining ply
sician had described the wounds of
the dead negro. These witnesses
were: T. NJ. Tant, J. F. Ian: aster,
and J. S. Tyler, who were called by
the State. At the conclusion of their
testimony, Solicitor Gunter recon-
mended verdict of acquittal, and
Judge Wilson ordered the foreman
to write such a verdict
Brown was killed after he had
shot and seriously wounded NIobley.
Before being shot down, Elmer ,Loper,
a negro, and H. NJ. Ray had sustained
mortal wounds from which they died,
and J. R. Thompson had been. seri-
ously injured. Ozelle Anderson,
brother-in-law of Brown, was also
implicated in the shooting, and it is
likely he will be placed on trial this
week. Exactly what Anderson had
to do with the affair will probably
not be known until the case is tried.
Theodore Mitchell, a colored boy
about fifteen years old, was tried
Monday afternoon on the charge of
murder and acquitted Mitchell kill
ed Lartee Dortch, negro boy eight
years old, in August. The evidence
showed very plainly that the killing
was an accident. !
Sam Cummings plead guilty to- pet
ty larceny Monday, and was sentenc-
ed to serve thirty days or pay fine
of $50.
Charlie Hill plead guilty to house
breaking, and was sentenced to serve
two years on the public works.
Tuesday morning the case of the
State versus W. L. McPhail, charged
with the murder of H. w. Wal
ker in the fall of 1916, was
called. This is the second trial
of this case, mistrial having
resulted at the first trial. The case
had not been concluded at the time
of going to press Wednesday after
noon.
There are large number of wit
nesses in the case, and very little
new testimony has been brought out.
True bills were returned by the
grand jury in the following cases:
Carroll Mobley, murder.
Pod Bryant, assault and battery
with intent to kill.
Archie Jenkins, assault and battery
with intent to kill and carrying con-
cealed weapon.
Paul Jenkins and Eddie Williams,
