Liquor With Lye
Causes Death, Said

Henry kinard, we'll known negro
in this section, and one VIII by thrift
mess and successful farming had ac-
cumulated some property for himself
and family, died at his place near
Bamberg Friday of last week and was
buried Saturday. He had been i'll for
about week, pneumonia being the
immediate cause of death; he suffer-
ed untold agony and for several days
before the end came his life had been
despaired of. Strong, sturdy and stall
wart, no one would have ventured to
dream a fortnight ago that today Hen
ry Kinard would be no more.
However. it's the story of another
distinct triumph for John Barleycorn,
death winning with its effective aid.
For it is said that Henry got hold of
some bad liquor which, unfortunately
for him, was favored with concen-
trated lye, and that after drinking
the vile stuff pneumonia developed
from the consequent exposure and
the lye literally ate up his stomach
and internal organs, thus superinduc-
ing a horrible death.
Henry Kinard was we'll liked, had
credit, and was we'll spoken Of by
the white and colored people of his
home community, his one weakness
for strong drink being his chief draw
back, and as is so often the case any
more, it is said, finally proved to be
his undoing. These are mighty hard
times for anybody to have to undergo
unnecessary suffering, and unless
they merely wish to be in the style it
does seem that people with a desire
to commit suicide could employ a
more humane and less tortuous meth
cd than the use of such vile liquids
with unknown ingredients as are OBJ
tained nowadays under the guise of
whiskey, though perhaps not quite as
modern.

The many friends of J. j. Heard,

The county chain gang is now
camped along the public road from
Bamberg to Denmark, and is doing
some work on this highway; accord
ingly small part of the road where
the work is going on is little torn
up at present, but not badly, and the
entire distance should be in fine con-
dition. The road from Denmark to
Lees, which has recently been COM
pleted, is splendid.

TRUCKERS ORGANIZING.
Important Meeting Being Held as The
Herald Goes to Press.

A meeting which should be of i'm
portance to the farmers Of Bamberg
county is being held as The Herald
goes to press this week, in the La
Victoire theatre in Bamberg, too late,
however, for The Herald to record it's
proceedings in this issue. This is a
meeting of the farmers of the county
interested in truck raising and mar
keting to organize truck growers
association; it is believed that much
good can and will be accomplished
thereby. The secret Of success for all
other truck farmers, fruit growers,
and, in fact, everything worth while,
has been in their organization and CO.
operation, lone for all and all for
one"
- F. L. Harkey, of the extension de-
partment of Clemson college, which
is doing such excellent work for the
farmers throughout the state, is in
Bamberg for this meeting, to make
a speech appropriate for the occasion

HOLDS HEARING IN COLUMBIA.
Bamberg Strongly Protests Taking of
Early Morning Trains.

Yesterday delegation OF Bambers
citizens went to Columbia to appear
before the state railroad commission
at the hearing in regard to the dis
continuance of the early morning
trains over the Southern railway from
Branchville to Augusta. The result
of the hearing had not"been announc-
ed at the time of going to press.
The delegation carried with it a
strong petition signed by a large
number of citizens of Bamberg, ask
ing the commission not to grant the
petition of the Southern to discon-
tinue these trains.
1t was pointed out that it would
be nothing short of a calamity to
Bamberg and other towns between
Branchville and Augusta to take these
trains off, In the first place to dis
continue these trains would make it
practically impossible for one to
spend a business or pleasure day in
any of the cities. In the next place,
il was shown, these trains are more
frequently used than any others to
carry patients to the cities for hos
pital treatment. At the present time
a patient may be placed on Pull
man and carried to the hospital, and
there would be no Pullman ac-
commodations if these trains are TAX
en- off.
The News and Courier has lent &C
tive and valuable support to Bamberg
in the fight. A strong delegation was
sent up from Charleston largely
through the efforts of the News and
Courier.
It is likely that the commission af-
ter the hearing took the matter un-
der consideration to render is decis-
ion at an early date. The outcome
will be of vital interest to this town
and community, as well as other
towns along the railroad.

JUVENILE COURT ACT VALID

Montgomery, July Especially Montgomery's juvenile court law was held to be constitutional by Judge Walter B.
