Revival at Denmark.

Rev. O. J. Frier, pastor of the
Denmark Baptist church, writes in
the Baptist Courier last week:
II had Brother Geo. E. Davis with
US in week of evangelistic services
here recently, he doing the preach
ing. He did it with forcefu1ness and
power, and our people we're delighted
with him. The attendance was
splendid and as an immediate result
seventeen were baptized and four
received by letter and under watch
care. Others were seriously impress
ed and we are hoping may yet yield
to the Lord"

CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING.
Denmark Men Wanted in North Caro-
Iina.-Ncgro Brings Action.

The following is clipped from the
Columbia State of Aug, 3: w. D.
Mayfeld, prominent Bamberg county
planter, and Jim Breedln and Henry
B. Sandifer, two of his assistants, are
wanted in Arson county, North Caro-
lima, on a charge of kidnapping two
negroes, extradition papers having
been served on Governor Cooper.
Nayfeid is a son of former State Sen
.ator S. G. Mayfield.
Governor Cooper announced yes
terday that a hearing relative to the
requisition would be held probably
some time this week, no action being
taken Immediately since the papers
were not accompanied by the neces-
sary affidavit setting forth the full
particulars of the case. Sheriff w.
S. Braswell, of Arson county, who
came to Columbia last Saturday for
the three men, has returned to North
Carolina, for the needed document
and is expected to return as soon as
possible.
At the instigation of Mayfeld, Gov
ernor Cooper on April 21 issued re-
QUESTION papers on Governor Beckett
for the return to South Carolina of
two negroes, Eugene Stroman, alias
Eugene Fielder, and Jesse Jones,
charged with having disposed of
property under lien. Jones and Stro-
man, Mayfeld alleged, had been
working on his farm near Denmark
and had left Denmark after selling
certain property on which he had a
chattel mortgage without his written
consent and without applying the
proceeds to the mortgage. The re-
qMisition papers were served on Gov
ernor Beckett, who refused to honor
them after hearing on the matter
Last Saturday Sheriff Braswell,
who had been appointed agent to re-
turn the Bamberg county men to
North Carolina, arrived in Columbia
with requisition papers charging the
three men with kidnapping the two
negroes, who after leaving Denmark
had located in Arson county, North
Carolina. Mayfeld, Breedin and
Sandifer, the sheriff said, have made
a trip to North Carolina bringing
the negroes back by rail to Denmark,
where they were tried and found
not guilty of the charges against
them. Since then the two negroes
have returned to North Carolina,
where Jones swore out a warrant for
the three men.

CARROLL FOR CONGRESS.
Former Bamberg Citizen Enters. the
Race Against Logan.


The Bamberg friends of Francis F.
Carroll, Esq, will be interested in
the announcement of his candidacy
for congress in the first congression-
al district, against W. Turner Lo-
gan. The present incumbent, R. S.
Whaley, who entered the race for re-
election, withdrew from the contest
a few days ago on account of fail
ing health, and the campaign was
reopened, upon the consent of Mr.
Logan, for other entrants, inasmuch
as Messrs. Whaley and Logan were
the only candidates. The filing date
closed Tuesday at noon, and short
while before the closing hour, Mr..
Carroll filed his pledge and paid his
entrance fee. There are no candidates
in the race now except Mr.. Logan and
Mr.. Carroll.
Mr. Carroll lived in Bamberg and
practiced law here until few years
ago, when he moved to Charleston,
and later to Summerville, where he
now resides. He was one of the
most honorable and upright citizens
Bamberg has ever possessed, and the
outcome of the contest in the first
congressional district will be watch
ed with the keenest of interest by
his many acquaintance here.

those carriers was more favorable
than that of the lines in either Of the
other groups. In view of this condi-
ton the commission held tht they
were better able to meet the demands
upon them than some of the other
companies, and therefore did not re-
auire as large an increase.
