Many of Our Citizens
Change Their Residences

January LIST is the regular moving
time in this locality but many of our
people have taken time by the fore
locks and have already settled them
selves in their new homes for the
Christmas season. This is a wise
move and one that should be made
whenever it is possible to do so. Many
however, will have to wait until the
the beginning of the new year before
they can get possession of their new
homes for the new year of 1922.

Another homicide occurred in Bam-
berg county last week, when Frank
Steedly shot and killed Jim Driggers,
both parties being white men. The
killing occurred at the home of Steed-
ly in the Briar Creek settlement.
Driggers died on the following day.
Coroner Zeigler held an inquest over
the body of Driggers Friday. The
shooting occurred on Thursday aft
ernoon. The jury rendered verdict
that Driggers came to his death from
gunshot wounds at the hands of
Frank Steedly, who has been arrest
ed and is now in jail awaiting trial.
Very little is known of the tragedy.
1t appears that there were no eye
witnesses to the affair except the par
ties concerned. It is understood that
Steedly declares Driggers was rails
ing disturbance in front of his home
at the time.
A shotgun. loaded with buckshot,
was used by Steedly. Only one wit
ness was sworn at the inquest, Ca
pers Steedly, brother of Frank Steed-
1y, and his testimony was as follows:

the house of my mother, where the
shooting took place. I went to the
house of my mother, I found there
the man that was shot on the dirt,
and Frank Steedly and his mother
about 80 feet away. Frank Steedly
had a gun in his hand, and he said:

DR.. Robert Black, who performed
the autopsy, said: "This is to certify
that I held an autopsy upon the body
of Jim Driggers, and found num-
Der of gunshot wounds, due to buck
shot, in face and neck. These wounds
produced DEATH"
Driggers has been living in that
section only a short time. He had
been working for B. D. Wonald, and
he was carried to Mr.. Donald's home
after the shooting and died there.

sermons has been burdened with the
task of preparing the hearts of the
Christians for the real spirit of re-
vival in the community. Sunday
morning he invited all those who had
a consciousness of Christian expert
ence to stand, and a surprisingly
small number responded to the invita-
ton. It has been in the endeaVor to
bring those Christians who do not
feel entirely satisfied with their own
faith into a close contact with God
that the preacher has directed his en-
ergies, and he expressed himself that
there can be no satisfactory results
from a revival unless the church peo-
pie are first revived. When they get
the vision the work of bringing un-
believers to Christ is simple mat
ter
DR.. Bridges has stated that he is
not interested in grandstand play;
that his mission in life is to bring
the message Of Jesus to the people,
and that he would rather see one lone
drunkard brought to Jesus in true
repentance than for hundred to sig
nifty their acceptance of Christianity
in a manner that they soon forget
their vows. The manner of DR..
Bridges is simplicity itself, and the
meeting is peculiarly void of the ex-
citement which is often characteris-
tic of revivals, in which, perhaps,
scores accept Christianity, but the
effects of which soon wear off. He is
seeking genuine revival of religion
in Bamberg, and that his whole soul
and being is in the work is evident
to anyone who has heard his wonder
fully effective sermons. Many visi-
tors from various sections of the
county have attended the meetings,
and a cordial invitation is extended

GENERATOR BURNED.
Day Current Machine at Cotton Mill
Damaged by Fire.

This issue of The Herald is publish
ed under serious handicap. Saturday
night the day current generator at the
Santee Mills was burned out. The
cause of the turnout has not been
definitely fixed, but the fact remains
that it was burned, this being the
second time since the cotton mill has
been running tbs machinery that this
identical accident has occurred. AS q
consequence Of the fire there was no
day electric current Monday and
there will probably be none
from this generator for some time to
come, if ever. Matters have arisen
between the mill management and
the town authorities that have not as
yet been settled, and it appears to be
somewhat uncertain as to the out
come of the matters mentioned.
The fire whistle sounded and
great crowd congregated around the
cotton mill, but there was no cause
for alarm so far as actual fire was
concerned, as the fire in the generator
was not a matter of water to put 1t
out. No other damage was done aside
from the damage to the electric ma
chine
AS a CONSEQUENCE the motor-driven
machinery of the town was idle Mon
day. How much longer it will re-
main idle is not certain at this writ
ing, but it is hoped and believed that
some necessary arrangement will be
made whereby the electrically operat-
ed industries of the town may con-
tinue in operation.

Rev. S. o. Cantey, pastor of Trini-
ty Methodist church, announces that
the revival meeting at his church will
continue through Friday. Services
are being held this week at 10 a. m.
and 800 o'clock in the evening, the
evening service being started fifteen
minutes later than last week.
The evangelist, DR.. Luther Bridges,
is still doing the preaching in a man
ner that has been impressive and
productive of great good in the COM
munity. It is said by some that the
meeting has evinced more interest
than any revival in Bamberg in some
years. Great crowds continue to at
tend the meetings. On Sunday both
services were participated in by pack
ed houses, and Sunday night every
seat was taken, with chairs filling the
aisles, and even then many could not
get in the church. On account of the
inability of the church to hold the
people, the services at the Baptist
church were not dispensed with Sun
day morning, but in the evening the
Baptist and Presbyterian congrega-
tions joined in the worship.
Monday evening the congregation
was disappointed at the inability Of
Dr.. Bridges to preach. A slight ILL
ness during the day incapacitated
him to such an extent that he consid-
cred it advisable to rest Monday even
ing. However, he was in the pulpit
again Tuesday morning.
Monday evening, in the absence
of DR.. Bridges, Mr.. Cantey preached
a short sermon, impressing upon the
congregation, which was small due to
rain, their duty in connection with
the revival, and urging every Chris
tian to rally to the cause of the re-
vival and leave no stone unturned
to bring unbelievers to Christ. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Cantey's remarks,
Rev. Geo. P. White, of the Baptist
church, addressed the congregation,
in which Mr.. White seconded the
remarks Of Mr.. Cantey. Mr.. White
said that he was as much interested
in the revival as the Methodists, and
urged that Christians of all denomina-
tions join in the spirit of the revival,
that the entire community might reap
a rich benefit.

NEGROES NOT WANTED.
Nebraska Secretary Wants Them to
Keep Away From North.

That southern negroes are not only
no longer wanted in Nebraska and
the north, but that organizations in
those sections Of the United States
are even ready to discuss methods to
prevent his coming, is the gist Of a
letter received here yesterday by A.
V. Smell, manager of the chamber OF
commerce, from Harry E. Moss, gen
eral secretary Of the Nebraska cham
Der of commerce, Inc.
After stating, 1--WE are writing you
for advice and information" the let
ter goes on to say: I'm these days OF
unemployment the situation in many
Of the northern states is being com
plicated by the influx of southern ne
groes. They are unable to find en-
ployment; they do not mix we'll with
negroes, natives of the north or OF
long residence, here.
"In your opinion can anything be
done in your state to stop this move
ment and should it be done and how
"Will the south need this labor
when normal conditions return, CT do
they need it now?
"Any assistance you can give us in
arriving at a clear conception Of the
situation will be appreciated.
Manager Smell states that he has
some clear cut ideas on the subject,
one of which is to the effect that
when during the war southern indus
tries needed the labor Of the negro
more than at any other time, the in
dustries of the north were making
every conceivable bid for him to
come. The information that the nor
thern born negroes and those of long
residence there do not wish their
southern consins to come, nor care
to mix with him, was the biggest sur
prise conveyed in the letter, Mr..
Smell declared.-News and Courier.

RICHARD F0CLE
PAYS FOR CRIME
YOUNG NEGRO ELECTROCUTED
FRIDAY MORNING.
Absolves Whaley.
Murderer of Young Calhoun Farmer
Assumes Full Blame Before
Death Of Crime.
Absolves Whaley.

Columbia, Mar. 26 - Richard
Fogle, young negro, was electrocuted
at the state penitentiary at 11:3s
o'clock Friday morning, paying the
death penalty for the murder of a
young white man, Earl Wadford, at
Lone Star, Calhoun county, January
12.
Fogle made a dying statement in
which he contradicted a former state
ment of his to the effect that Harvey
Whaley, another negro, had told him
to kill Mr.. Wadford. Fogle said yes
terday morning that Harvey Whaley
had nothing to do with the crime.
Whaley was tried by the same court
that convicted Fogle and is now in the
penitentiary under death sentence,
the Judge fixing April as the day for
Whaley to die.
An unusually large crowd was on
hand for the electrocution, several
men and women coming up from Lone
Star and st. Matthews. Many of the
visitors were denied admission as the
death cell will hold only a certain
number and the allotment was taken
up early in the morning. un-
usual feature was the presence of wo-
men in the death chamber. This was
one of the few times that women have
witnessed the execution of a crimi-
nal. Among the women present were
members of the Wadford - family.
Sheriff Hill, of Calhoun county,
brought the Lone Star party here
and he accompnied the women to the
death chamber.
When placed in the electric chair
the negro was asked if he had any
statement to make. He replied: "Ha1-
vey amt had nothing to do with the
crime. I done it all myself" Fogle
had previously said that Harvey Wha-
ley had told him to kill the whole
Wadford family. Evidence was intro
duced at the trial to prove that Wha-
ley did tell Fogle to kill the family
and that he gave Fogle the shotgun
and shells with which to shoot the
family.
The crime for which Fogle paid
the penalty attracted widespread in
terest. The negro appeared at the
Wadford home and called the young
farmer out, shooting him dead as he
reached the steps. The negro then
opened fire on Corbett Zeigler, a
neighbor, inf1icting wound that
made amputation Of one of Mr.. Zeig-
ler's legs necessary. Fogle also shot
Mrs. Wadford and her small baby,
the wounds not being serious, how
ever.
Relatives Of Harvey Whaley came
to Columbia during the day to see
if something could not be done to save
his life, but no action has been taken.

DEBS IN PRISON
AFTER JOURNEY
RETURNS TO PENITENTIARY AT
ATLANTA.
Zerbst At Station.
Prisoner Met BY Warden Who, How
ever, Throws No Restraint on
Temporary Liberty.
Zerbst At Station.

Atlanta, March 25.-Eugene V.
Debs, returned to the Atlanta federal
penitentiary today to resume the rou-
tine Of prison life again after his
trip to Washington where he dis
cussed his case with Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty.
The Socialist leader who is serving
a ten wear term on conviction of vio-
lating the war time espionage act
was smiling and cheerful as he alight-
ed from the train and in the brief
time before he met the warden and
was whisked away to the prison, he
answered every question asked him
except those on his conferenceSor his
chances for release.
II appreciate the confidence shown
in me by letting me go alone and on
my honor to Washington" said Debs,
"and I enjoyed the trip" he said
smiling moment later in answer to
a query as to whether he was going
directly to the prison.
The Socialist leader feels that the
department of justice has been fair
and square with him so far, no mat
ter what the final decision is, accord
ing to Samuel Castleton, attorney for
Debs. Mr.. Castleton joined him at
Buford, Ca, this morning and rode
back discussing the status of the case.
PERSONALLY think his chances are
good but that is only my personal
opinion" said Castleton when asked
about the result of the conference.
t'Mr. Debs made 1t plain to the at
torney general that he had nothing
to take back, nothing to recant'' ad-
ded Castleton, "and he was not asked
to. They discussed the case in five
hour conference. I am not permit
ted to give details of what took
place."
Trip Kept Secret.
,Debs left here Wednesday morning,
his departure shrouded in secrecy
on orders from Washington but there
was no especial effort to prevent the
return becoming known. Warden
Zorbst who is said to have received
orders from Washington to meet the
prisoner at the station declined to
say what train he would come in on
but after Debs' arrival he made no
effort to prevent Debs talking to any,
one who cared to question him.
The two shook hands in hearty
fashion as Debs alighted from the
train. Debs greeted the head of the
penitentiary with ''I'm mighty glad
to see you again Mr.. Warden I'm
mediately there was bonfire Of ques-
tions from newspaper men and the
warden apparently by design, dropped
to one side and let the prisoner
make his own replies.
Little Information Given.
ooh I can't talk to you about that"
Debs said to almost every question
regarding the conference in Wash
ington and the chances of pardon
as result Of it.
The entire trip was uneventful,
Debs said and added that he enjoyed
it and felt fine. He was plainly en-
