TO HAVE WATERWORkS.
Denmark Takes Progressive Step
Forward.-Bond Issue.

Some time ago Denmark decided
to take a decided step forward by the
voting of bond issue of $4,000 for
public improvements. The election
was held in January, and it was al
most unanimous. SiXty-seven votes
were cast in the election, and 64 OF
these were registered in favor of the
bond issue.
This bond issue will be used for the
purpose of installing system Of wat
erworks in the town, and arrange
ments are now being made to begin
work at once. A contract has been
awarded for some of the work al
ready, and as soon as the bonds can
be issued, the red tape Of which re-
quires some necessary delay, the con-
tract will be let.
1t is expected that the work will
be completed during the coming
summer A deep artesian we'll will
be bored to supply the town with
pure water, and a plentiful supply
will be provided, it is stated.

STATE HIGHWAY BILL.
Praise Given Mr.. Miley for Success
fully Plotting Measure in House.

The following is portion of an
editorial recently appearing in the
Spartan burg Herald:
"The house of representatives pass
ed a state highway bill Tuesday night
that constitutes beginning of the
development of a system of state
roads. The measure is constructive
and is looking to the future progress
Of highway building and maintenance
in the state along lines that will
eventually lead to existence of state
highway system Systematically and
uniformly maintained by the state.
The passage of the bill was not with
out opposition, and an opposition that
was organized and thoroughly ac-
quainted with it's own purposes, but
through the very able leadership of
Representative Miley, of Bamberg
county, who handled the bill on the
floor of the house for the joint COM
mittee, it was intelligently present.
ed and successfully piloted to pas
sage. The friends of the measure
believe it is going to mean much to
the state in the future, and If such
proves true, Representative Miley
should be remembered as the worthy
champion of the bill when it was un-
der fire. He was ably assisted by
Representative Atkinson, of Spartan
burg; Representative Burgerson, of
Charleston; Representative Belser, of
Sumter; Representative Kinard, of
Laurens, and others, but the handling
of the bill on the floor of the house

Gone to Detroit For Cars.

The poor freight facilities offered
to the public by the railroads dur
ing the past few years has caused
it to be a common practice among
southern automobile dealers to send
personally to the factories for cars
to be driven back to the local mar
kets. Saturday morning a party OF
six young men left Bamberg for De-
troit to drive back six automobiles
to be distributed here! They went by
train, and it is figured that they
should return in about two weeks
with no bad mishaps to mar the jour
ney. The route by rail is nearer than
the return trip on which the cars will
be driven; this is estimated at ap-
proximately 1,400 miles. Their
itinerary after leaving Detroit will
include the cities of Toledo and
Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa; Ha-
gerstown, Md; Washington, D. g.;
Richmond, Va; Raleigh, N. c., and
Columbia. Those making the trip
are: James T. Burch, Eddie Jackson,
George Fender, Talbot Padgett, M.
G. Cooner and E. L. Spann.

NEGRO BOY KILLS BROTHER.
Edmund Mitchell Stabbed in Heart by
Samuel Mitchell.

Monday night Edmund Mitchell,
about 26 years of age, was stabbed in
the heart by his brother, Samuel
Mitchell, aged 13, and instantly kill
ed. Both are negroes Coroner
Zeigler held an inquest over the dead
body Tuesday morning, the verdict
being that Mitchell came to his death
from a knife wound at the hands of
his brother.
1t seems that Edmund Mitchell,
who is the son of Jerry Mitchell, has
been running his fathers place since
the elder Mitchell died a year or so
ago. Jerry Mitchell was a well-to-
do farmer and a most respectable
colored citizen, and on his death he
left a very nice estate to his wife.
Edmund Mitchell has been carrying
on the farm of his mother since his
fathers death, and is generally said
to be a reliable man.
Monday night Mitchell's mother
had occasion to chastise Samuel
Mitchell, and she administered pun
ishment with a switch, and appears
to have had some difficulty in doing
so. Edmund was present and after
the switching had occasion to slap the
boy, possibly for his attitude toward
his mother because she had punished
him. Edmund was stabbed just
about this time, and fell. The boy
states that his brother in slapping
him fell against the open knife he
had in his hand, and that he did not
kill his brother Intentionally. Mitch
ellis mother does not know the exact
circumstances at the moment of the
stabbing, and did not know her son
had been cut until she saw him on
the floor with the blood streaming
from his wound.
The boy has been arrested and is
now in Jail on the charge of murder.
The killing occurred at their home
near Orange Grove colored church,
about six miles from Bamberg The
affair is greatly deplored among the
the colored people, as the Mitchells
stood we'll with their neighbors and
with the white people. The dead man
was a hard working fellow with a
good reputation.

To Postomce Patrons.

The closing hour at the postotflce
is $50 p. m, yet not an afternoon
passes but that two or three, and
sometimes more, patrons come to the
office and want to send off packages,
buy stamps, or something. AS this
is the heaviest dispatch of the day, it
is impossible to dispatch the mail for
the train arriving at six o'clock and
accommodate all who come after the
closing hour. Besides, we have to
balance our books and cash, and at
tend to a number of matters which
cannot be done while the Office is
open. So, hereafter, all re1nests for
service after the windows are closed,
no matter from whom, will be uni
formly refused. So please do not ask
to be served when the windows are
closed. A. w. KNIGHT,
Postmaster.

BROOKS JOHNSON CAUGHT.
Killed His Father Near Denmark
Several Weeks Ago.

Brooks Johnson, the young negro
who shot and killed his father, Lloyd
Johnson, near Denmark several
weeks ago, has been arrested in Ashe-
vile, N. c., by Chief of Police w. D.
Raysor, of that city. Johnson will
be brought back to Bamberg and
placed in Jail to await trial on a
charge of murder.
The negro left Immediately after
the killing for parts then unknown
and nothing was heard from him for
several weeks. Johnson, however,
began writing letters under the name
of Willie Johnson, to parties at Den
mark, and his whereabouts we're
learned by means of tracing these
letters. Nothing was done until his
exact location was ascertained, and
as soon as Sheriff Ray came in pos
session of this information he wired
the Asheville chief requesting John
sons arrest.
Johnson is generally considered a
bad negro, while his father was con-
sidered an upright man and was we'll
thought of. They had been having
trouble between them for several
days prior to the killing, and on that
occasion, the testimony at the in
quest shows, the elder Johnson be-
came angry at his son for some Of
fence not mentioned in the inquest
papers, and threatened him. His pis-
tol was lying on table, and as soon
as he turned his back the younger
negro grabbed the pistol and shot
his father, killing him. 1t has been
stated from other sources that Lloyd
Johnson was preparing to chastise
the boy for using the formers auto
mobile after he was forbidden to do

WHITE MAN SUICIDES.
w. O. Polk Takes Own Life With
Shotgun Saturday.

Saturday afternoon the body OF
Willie O. Polk, a white man about so
years of age, was found in the woods
near his home on the Elijah Goodwin
place. a few miles from Bamberg,
with a gunshot wound in his head. An
inquest was held Sunday over the
dead body by Coroner Zeigler, and
the jury found that Mr.. Polk came
to his death at his own hands.
Palmer Polk, his son, testified at
the inquest Sunday that he went out
in the woods to get some wood, his
dog following him, and that the dog
found the body. He went to the
place and looked at the body, finding
it to be his father. He returned home
and reported it to his mother. Oscar
Crider was one of the first to arrive
after the finding of the body had been
reported. DR.. Robert Black, who per-
formed the autopsy, testified that the
gunshot literally tore off portion of
the head and caused death.
No motive is known for the act,
but it is said that the dead man was
scarcely in his right mind. He had.
it is said, previously attempted to
kill himself. When found, the shot
gun was lying across his lap, with
the shell discharged. 1t appeared
that he had pushed the trigger of the
gun with a stick.

MANUFACTURE ICE.
Cotton Oil Company Purchases Equip
ment for Plant Here.

A new industry, that of an ice man
ufacturing plant, is soon to be added
to Bamberg's industrial activity. Jas.
A. Wymar, president of The Cotton
Oil company, a local corporation, an
nounces that his company has pur-
chased complete equipment for the
installation of an ice manufacturing
plant at the oil mill. The contract
has already been awarded for the in
stallation of the machinery, and the
plant is expected to be in operation
by early spring. The first equipment
purchased will provide for small
plant, the output of which will be six
tons of ice daily. This output is in
tended, primarily, to meet the local
demand. Later it is expected, it is
stated, to enlarge the plant to meet
any demands that may be made for
ice.
Mr.. Wyman states that either BAN
berg city water or water obtained
from a private artesian well will be
used in the manufacture of the local
ice, and that every precaution Will
be taken to insure absolute purity.
The difficulty experienced in the
past in securing ice by local dealers
has made the lack of an ice plant here
felt very keenly, and with this plant
in operation no shortage of ice in
Bamberg is anticipated Mr.. Wyman
states that it is not the purpose of his
company to go into the retail busi-
ness, however.

day After Long Illness.

On last Friday the angel Of death
visited the home of Edgar Dickinson,
when his wife, Mrs. Mollie Hewitt
Dickinson passed to the great beyond.

for more than year past, and for
the past two months she has been
unable to leave her room, being af-
flicted with Bright's disease. The

lima. The care of the jail and pris-
oners has been a constant source of
