Help Your Home Paper.

Frequently solicitors for job
printing canvass various towns
in south Florida in which there
arc located newspapers doing job
printing of all kinds, says a news
paper published in that section.
They generally secure more or
less work, not because their work
is any better or because their pri-
ces are any cheaper, but because
the customer has not the nerve to
tell the solicitor he believes in
patronizing home industry. II"
fails to remember that the local
newspaper is every week giving
publicity to the town and putting
forth every effort to advance the
interests Of the merchant, the ar
tisan, the workingman and every
person in the community. The
advertising patronage of the pa
per does not pay for the issue,
and the publisher must then make
up the deficit from the receipts
Of his job department. The out
of-town printer gives the business
man no publicity whatsoever, and
the exclusive job shop is not III
position to give any publicity.

History of White House.

The White House at Washing
ton, home Of the president of the
United States, received it's name
from the fact that it was built of
white free stone. The site of the
building was chosen by President
Washington and Maj. L'Enfant
when they laid out Washington
in 1871. Its architect was James
Hoban of Dublin, who modelled
the structure after the palace of
the Duke of Leincester. The cor
ner stone of the building was laid
on October 13, 1892, and its first
occupants were President and
Mrs. John Adams, who moved in
during November of 1900. After
1t was burned by the British in
1914 the original architect return
ed and supervised its reconstruct
ton.

Death Of Mrs. Carroll.

A very sad death occurred a few
miles from Bamberg last Friday when
Mrs. Paul Carroll passed away at
her home after a short illness. Pc
culiarly sad is the fact that this good
woman left in a pathetic condition a
house full of destitute little children
to be cared for. This family has been
unusually hard hit by death during
recent years, and the sympathy OF
the town and community goes out to
them again in this, their most recent
hour of sorrow Mrs. Carroll was
taken sick very short while ago and
soon developed pneumonia, from
which it was quickly realized that her
chances to recover were small. The
remains were inferred in the family
plot at Springtown cemetery near
her home Saturday. The deceased
was a woman of middle age. She had
spent quiet, humble, Christian life;
a good woman, noble mother, true
friend, has gone to her divine re-
ward. Her husband also survives
her.

Game Warden Shot
and Killed Negro

County Game Warden O. j. c.
Lain. of Goyan, formerly magistrate
down there, shot and killed Page
Odom, a negro hand on Mr.. Lanes
place in that section last Friday
morning. Buddy" Lain had an en-
viable record as severe magistrate
while in that Office. The details or
particulars of this latest tragedy are
unknown here, up to now: Odom
had been in this section long while
and was pretty we'll up in years. The
coroner's inquest over the dead body
of Odom was held at Govan Saturday
morning; the investigation was not
so thorough, but sufficient informa-
ton was gathered to officially record
the fact that Page Odom came to his
death from gunshot wounds inflicted
bv O. J. c. Lain. It is not thought
that Mr.. Lain denies the act, and he
will probably be charged with murder
and tried at the January term of the
court of general sessions in Bamberg.

Bamberg Girls Unbeatable.

Bamberg high school girls won
another glorious victory on the bas-
ket ball court Friday afternoon, this
time Orangeburg being forced to bow
to their supremacy, and the game
was played in the city on the Edisto.
The losers could offer no alibi or
excuse: they had the advantage OF
being at home, the advantage IN
everything, except perhaps they
couldn't boast of Captain Beard.
Orangeburg. is reputed to have
earlier defeated some of the Larger
high schools, and the game Friday
was fast and furious. Contrary to
the game between the same teams IN
Bamberg several weeks ago, Bam-
berg this time started off ahead, and
inspired by the brilliant and great
work of their star captain, Miss nellie
Beard, our girls flashed away to a
brilliant triumph, score 33 to %.
Every Bamberg girl covered herself
with glory, and Miss Beard especi-
ally was all over the field trying to
get into every play, and easily prov
ed herself to be one of the champion
girl high school players Of the state.

PARDON PETITION FOR MURPHY.
Many Seeking Clemency From Par
don Board.

The pardon board met last week
to consider a number of pleas for
clemency, among the more important
ones being for Dan G. Murphy, of
Orangeburg, who. has been in the
penitentiary for over quarter of
century, and Abraham Williams, also
from Orangeburg, who is under death
sentence for having attempted to
criminally assault young white girl.
Considerable sentiment was arous-
ed for Dan C. Murphy last summer
when Col. A.. K Sanders, superin-
tendent of the penitentiary, brought
Dan up town to see a moving picture
show for the first time. "Old' Dan,
as he is familiarly known, had never
seen a show or ridden in an automO-
bile until the day Colonel Sanders
brought him out from behind the
grim walls. Dan says so. long as
Colonel Sanders is in charge of the
penitentiary he will be satisfied, but
the petition has been filed and a lot
of people are interested in the case.
Dan killed Treasurer Cope in Or
angeburg some 25 years ago. He es-
caped once and serven an enlistment
in the United States cavalry. He is
nearly 68 years of age.

Fire Does Small Damage.

Shortly before two o'clock Monday
afternoon the fire alarm was sound
ed and it was discovered that some
of the county property in the rear of
the Jail yard enclosure in this city
was af1ame. However. the blaze was
fortunately very small, and was &C
cordingly quickly extinguished even
before the fire truck arrived on the
scene, and the truck made speedy
run. One of the county road trucks
was burning, but only slight damage
was done to this, and that was about
all except that a negro man lost some
clothes. It is not known how the
truck caught afire. 1t was at first
thought by some people that the Jail
was on fire and this occasioned some
little excitement as to whether or not
the prisoners in custody there would
escape.

Truck and Tobacco
Growers Organize

Realizing that other cash crops
must help to replace cotton, the truck
growers of Bamberg county met on
Tuesday afternoon and discussed or
ganizing. Several parties have been
quite active in agtitating such an Or
ganization. w. B. Chitty, of Olar; !;
A. VI. Brabham, B. F. Free, of Bam-
berg, County Agent ]. D. Brandon,
and others are doing some good work.
At the meeting the following Off
GERS were elected: A. M. Brabham,

dent, and H. n. Folk, secretary and
treasurer.

Knocks at Door,;
Woman is Shot.

Another bad shooting scrape was
added to Bamberg's list Tuesday
morning, and this latest tragedy will
probably result in tie death of a me-
gro woman Clara Kelley was dan
gerously wounded by revolver bal
let from the weapon of Carrie Ste
vens, another negress. The shooting
took place on Midway street at the
shanty occupied by the Stevens Wo-
man, near the oil mill. There were
several witnesses and the unfortunate
victim has made a dying declaration,
all of whom practically corroborate
one another in detail. It,seems that
the facts and circumstances are brief
and simple.
The two women did not know each
other at all. The Kelley woman went
to the home of Carrie Stevens In
search of woman friend named ga
rah Jones who also lived in the neigh
borhood, but not in that particular
house. Clara did not know just ex-
actly which house she lived in; 80
she raped at the front and after
knocking called out Does Sarah lire
here?" Whereupon, it seems that
Carrie considered this sufficient prov
ocation to blow her into eternity:
she opened the door, abruptly order
ed her off and saying that she vas
tired of niggers coming around and
wanting to know who lived there, op-.
ened fire upon Clara. Only one shot
was taken, but this took effect In tie;
left shoulder, SCATTERING the shoulder.
and severing the artery which sup
plies the left arm with life and blood:
the result was an internal hemor-
rhage and the wounded woman has
very slight chance Of recovery.
Clara lived in the country on the
plantation of H. L. Hinnant who re-
ports that she is a negro woman Of
good reputation, peaceable and quiet.
a good steady worker, humble, and
valuable hand. It is said that Carrie
Stevens also fired at another woma1
at the same place under similar cir
cumstances some time ago, that shot
missing its mark. She claims that
women were trying to conjure her.
She was promptly arrested, and is
now in the county jail here. The wea
pom used was .32 calibre, six shoot
er, Smith. & Wesson revolver with 81
chambers loaded.

GIRL ALMOST STARVES.

Greenwood, Dec. 1S.-A seventeen
year-old white girl, found with her
clothing in tatters, weak from hung
er and exposure, after sleeping in the
woods, following fruitless efforts to
secure employment, is being cared
for by the local branch of the Volun-
teers of America. The girl appar-
emily is from a good family and
claims Atlanta as her home.
According to STAFF. CarE. A. Bel
cher, of the Volunteers of America,
the girl either was too proud or
was afraid to ask for assistance
after her money had given out and
she had been unable to find en-
ployment. When the police officers
found her, she was numb with cold
and had been sleeping III the woods
with no covering but straw and
leaves.

Resume Work on
New Artesan Well

Monday morning MIR. Argo, Of the
Argo Well Drilling company resumed
operations on the new artesian we'll
here. No work has been done on the
we'll for several weeks, on account OF
the fact that when the work was last
going on the cast iron piping for the
well became jammed and could not
be moved. Nothing further could be
done on the we'll until the piping
could be either removed or pushed ON
down.
The casing is now being drawn out
of the well. 1t is said that it will be
necessary to remove the pipe entirely,
and practically start over again, al
though, of course, the we'll will still
be there, and after the. obstruction is
removed it will be simple matter
to let the pipe down again.
The well is about $50 feet deep.
at this depth a stratum of quicksand
was encountered. This quicksand 80
interfered with the drilling opera
ton that it was decided to let down a
section of strainer to keep the sand
out. This strainer section is what
caused all the trouble. It is firmly
caught in the bottom of the well and
cannot be budged an inch from its
place. OF course the strainer is in
side of the eight inch pipe, and now
the pipe is being removed to get the
strainer out. When this is removed,
the pipe will be let down again and
the well will be continued to proper
depth to secure the fine flow of water
that is anticipated.
The pulling up Of $50 feet of cast
iron pipe, for the most part eight
inch pipe with the six inch pipe inside,
is job of no mean size. This equals
over 900 feet of piping, weighing tons
on top of tons. All ordinary pulling
devices balk at such an undertaking,
and it is very interesting to note the
mechanism that is employed to do
this work Two jacks operated by
compressed air are worked by hand,
each movement of the handles rails
ing the piping so little that it is
scarcely discernable, and yet it is
gradually raised. It will take several
days to move the pipe sufficiently that
it may be drawn up by pulley. The
sand bed is some sixty feet in thick
ness, and the pressure is so very
great that jack of capacity of lift
ing one hundred tons was necessary
to move the pipe.
1t is believed that the well can now
be finished eight inches in diameter
as originally planned.
