BARNWELL WOMAN KILLED.
Mrs. w. G. Brit Killed When Cyclone
Destroys Home.

Barnwell, Dec. PA cyclone tnat
struck the little town of Smelling, hVe
miles west of Barnwell, this after
noon at four o'clock completely de-
stroyed the residence of w. c. Brit,
killed his wife and seriously injured
his three children. A funeral party
from Barnwell, on it's way to Seven
Pines church, near Smelling, was
caught in the path of the storm and
the tops of several automobiles in
the procession were torn off. An ov-
ercoat, fur and hat were blown on
of one woman as she sat in her car.
Large pine trees were snapped OH
as though they were pipestems. Mem
bers of the funeral party say the roar
of the approaching cyclone could BE
heard for some time before they felt
the full force of the wind, and that
the noise was like that of a heavy
freight train in rapid motion. II
will probably be day or two before
the full amount of damage is known

ROBBERY Is ALLEGED.
c. n. HamIin Said to Have Been Held
up by Negroes Tuesday.

Tuesday morning early G. n. Ham
lin, a local insurance agent, was
brought to Bamberg by J. A. J. Rice,
bearing injuries which Mr.. Hamlin
said were inflicted by two robbers a
short distance this side of Sato. Mr..
Hamlin appeared to have been dealt
a terrific blow on the head with some
blunt instrument, and his hand was
considerably bruised.
The story told to Mr.. Rice by Mr..
Hamlin was about as follows: He
came to Denmark on the Seaboard
train early Tuesday morning from
Florida. 1t lacking several hours to
the time for the Augusta train to
Bamberg, he decided to walk home
and started off down the railroad
track. After he had passed Sato he
was accosted by two negro men, who
held him up, struck him several
blows and relieved him of his val
uables. Although he was left in
dazed condition, he started again on
his way home, and when he got as
far as Mr.. Rice's place his strength
gave out and he went to Mr.. Rice's
house and called Mr. Rice out of bed.
He told Mr.. Rice his story and ask
ed to be brought to Bamberg. Mr..
Rice brought him home in his car.
Mr.. Hamlin stated that the high
waymen robbed him of his suit case
containing clothing and other arti-
cles, including his pistol, took his
overcoat from him, and about $3.50
in cash.
Mr.. Hamlin has been away from
for the past several weeks.
He was the local agent here of an
insurance company, and it is said that
his whereabouts were unknown to
his acquaintance. He stated that his
anxiety to get home as quickly as
possible prompted him to decide on
walking instead of waiting for the
Southern train some three or four
hours later.

ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
Four Year Old Colored Boy Shoots
Self With Fatal Result.

Franklin Brown, the four year old
son of Daniel Brown, a we'll known
colored man who farms on the plan
tation of B. D. Carter near Bam-
berg, was accidentally shot Monday.
The boy died Monday night as the
result of the wound.
It appears that the lad was trying
to take a shotgun from his fathers
wagon, when the hammer was caught
in some way, causing the gun to be
discharged. The load of shot TOOK
effect in the boys right leg, almost
tearing the limb from his body.
The little fellow died Monday
night. The case seems to have been
purely accidental, and no blame has
been attached to anyone for the trag-
edy.

SAM MORTON AGAIN.
Potato House Man is Now Being Car
ried to Maine from Ohio.

j. Sam Morton, wanted in Orange
burg on charge of breach of trust
and conspiracy to defraud in connec-
ton with alleged misappropriatiOn
of funds of the potato propagating
house in that city, and who figured
in connection with the Bamberg po-
tato house, is now on his way from
Cincinnati to SkoWhegan, Maine, on
a charge of selling mortgaged prop
erty and also for forging or utter
ing checks" according to a letter
received by Sheriff Dukes, of Orange
burg, from Sheriff John A. Mooers,
of Somerset county, Maine. 1t will
be recalled that Morton left Bam-
berg with some thousands of dollars
of funds of the local potato house
company, and that payment of the
check was stopped before it was pre-
sented to a New York bank for pay
ment. The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Sheriff: | thought you
would like to know that we are
bringing ]. Sam Morton from Cincin-
natl, Ohio, on warrant charging
selling mortgaged property and also
forging, or uttering checks on bank
here (this he did in indianapolis and
also in Ohio). He is on way here at
this time and will arrive December
"a. (Extradition.)
"Our governor says he made
not letting you have him, so
if you want him after we get through
you know what to do. Grand jury
sits fourth Tuesday in January; could
not get him any sooner possibly, and
then only in case we fail of an indict-
ment.
Il will gladly keep you informed
anyway and will write you again not
later than December 2S.'
It will be recalled that Sheriff
Dukes sent to SkoWhegan for Nor
ton during the past summer, but ex-
tradition was refused by the Maine
governor as the result of an alleged
technical irregularity in the drawing
of the papers. Mr.. Dukes stated re-
Gently that efforts would be made
legal channels to have Nor
ton brought to Orangeburg as soon
as practicable. Morton is alleged to
have made away with several thous-
and dollars while connected with the
Orangeburg concern. 1t is also said
that Morton made away with a small
amount of money in connection with
the Bamberg concern, but great loss
was prevented by stopping the check
given him for the purpose of secur-
ing two carloads of material, it was
said. = He also gave a check for
freight drawn on an Orangeburg bank
On which payment was refused.

A DULL CHRISTMAS.
Money Flowed Like Unto Thick Mo-
IaSses i'm Zero Weather.

From a financial point of view
Christmas in Bamberg was about the
dullest in a decade. If there was any
money in the county it is still here.
1t did not appear to be spent during
the holidays in this city. The decline
in price of cotton from 43 cents to
13 1-2 cents played havoc with the
usual holiday trade. Fortunately
very few merchants stocked up on
any great amount of holiday goods,
and the few who did have such
stocks have a good start for next
Christmas. The people bought just
as sparingly as the spirit of the occa-
sion would permit.
The holidays were quietly spent by
Bamberg folks. There was very lit
tie disorder or excessive drinking;
in fact, few persons were seen under
the influence of intoxicants. The
shooting of fireworks was probably
because fireworks were not so scarce
this year as previously.
Many of the poor people of the
community were given presents of
food, clothing, toys and fruits by the
congregation of the Baptist church,
the Methodist Woman's missionary
society, and perhaps other organlza-
tions of the city. No special Christ
mas services were held in the city.

RANK DECLARES DIVIDEND.
PEOPLES Bank Completes Successful
Year.-1O% Dividend.

The directors of the Peoples Bank
held a meeting a few days ago at
which the annual dividend was de-
clared and the report of the condi-
ton of the bank was made. A divi-
dend of 10 per cent. was declared by
the directors, $4,000 was allotted to
the surplus fund, and $4,000 was
carried to undivided profits.
The report showed the bank to be
in a prosperous condition, and that
the past year has been a most salts
factory one with the institution. The
annual meeting of the stockholders
of the bank will not be held until
some time in January.

against whom such executions are

thoroughly with the proper officers
and that some arrangement be made
to find out these persons and the
amount of said receipts We further
ask that the county board employ
either the county attorney or other
competent counsel to collect the old
checks in the hands of the treasurer.
