ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLS.
Rufus Rhoad Victim Of Sad Acct
dent Saturday.

Probably the saddest incident to
mar the Christmas season IN Bam-
berg county occurred at the home or
Mr. Daniel B. Rhoad in the Hunter S
Chapel section early Saturday morn
ing. and resulted in the untlmely
death of one of our bright young
men of robust constitution and Who
had the prospects of a splendid fu-
ture to devote to his family and his
community. Mr.. Rufus Rhoad, a
young man about II years old, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel B. Rhoad,
had been hunting and after return
ing home with his gun had sat down
on the steps. He was amusing his
little sister with one of her Christ
mas toys when the gun slipped from
him and slid down the steps, the bar
rel pointing straight up under hin.
The hammer of the gun struck the
edge Of the steps and in some man
ner the gun was thus discharged. d.
The load penetrated part of one
of the steps and young Mr.. Rhoad was
at such close range that the entire
load including a portion of the wad-
ding and some splinters entered his
body blowing up into the stomach and
making a most horrible wound. Med
ical aid was of course summoned as
quickly as possible and the young
man was rushed to Bamberg and car
ried to a hospital in Charleston on
the evening train. Everything pos
sible was done and an operation per-
formed in a futile effort to save his
life. But despite his youth and
splendid vitality the wound was too
severe, and Mr.. Rhoad passed away
Tuesday morning at the hospital in
Charleston. He and his family had a
number of friends, both old and
young, who deeply deplore this ter
rible accident which cost the life of
fine boy, and the sympathy Of the
entire community goes out to them.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items Of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

Mr.. Lloyd Griffith. who accSdental-
ly shot himself through the right foot
with a revolver some days ago, is not
seriously injured and the wound is
improving rapidly. The young man
is able to be out, but has to use
crutches.
The great drought remains |un'
broken. The weather man promised
rain and snow last week, and neither
mater:alized. There has only been
drizzle or two within the past three
months, and there has not been
hard rain since last August.

There was a considerable increase
in Christmas jags this year ov-
or last, despite the fact that the en-
tire country is legally dry. The To-
cal drunks were caused, it is said, al
most, if not entirely by homemade
blind tiger liquor, of which there ap-
pears to be an abundance around
Bamberg at all times.
The friends of Mr.. Henry L. Kearse
will learn with regret of his illness.
He is suffering from a slight attack
of pneumonia, but is now very much
improved and will out in few days.
His brother, Mr.. R. l.. Kearse, who
has been sick with serious attack
of pneumonia, is recovering very ra-
pidly, his many friends will be glad
to know.
Christmas day passed off in Bam-
berg without accident. AS usual on
such occasions, there was a great
deal of noise, but everybody seemed
to be in an excellent humor. The
shooting of fireworks was permitted
on Main street Christmas eve, be-
ginning at six o'clock, and after that
there was no business, the people
choosing to go home rather than hear
the racket.
The friends in Bamberg of Mr.. j.
Fielder Hunter, a former resident of
this city, will be interested to learn
that he is one Of the corporators of a
new Orangeburg concern-the Velvo
Products company, capitalized at
100000, to handle polish for furni-
ture, automobiles and floors. In
addition to this line kerosene and
gasoline will be handled, and mod
ern filing station will be erected in
Orangeburg. Mr.. Hunter will be
manager of the new corporation.

Minimum Pay for
Teachers Should Be
$1,000, Says Report

,Kearney, Jan. Is. Especial: ,
That the minimum salary for Ne
braska school teachers should be at
least $1,000 was the conclusion
drawn from the data tabulated by
Lula E. Writ, dean of women of the
normal school here, following an
extensive investigation of living con-
ditions in 10 counties in Nebraska.
The QUESTIONABLE included board,
room rent, laundry, clothing, dental
service, physicians service, philan-
trophy, culture, bank deposits and
other means of saving, and Incl
dental expenses. 1t was found that
the average Of the expenses in the
counties investigated was $828.80!
Median expenses ranged as high
as $1,177 per year. By far the larg-
est items were board and room,
items over which the school teacher
has no control. The estimate on
clothes was surprisingly low, prov
ing that the rural school teacher is
doing little buying of extravagent
clothing.
Miss Writ found that the teachers
who reported savings were in an in
significant minority, that few car
ried insurance of any kind, that most
reported debts, many reported home
help, and several reported cases OF
protracted illnesses.
