which prompted the message. I find
that the book of Job, 42nd chapter,
12 and f3, reads as follows:
ESQ the Lord blessed the latter
part of Job more than his beginning,
for he had $4,000 sheep and 5000
camels and thousand yoke Of oxen
and a thousand she-asses.
"'He had also seven SONS and three

The fact, however, that the colonel
was wishing a Thousand Successes on
the general, unless they should be OF
an entirely different character and
disposition from the he-asses that
have been kicking at him, we should
think that the last end Of the man
would be worse than the first. 1t is a
good thing, however, that the colonel
drove the general to the Bible. The
general would find it very entertain
ing if he would only go at it in SOL
dier-like style, now that he is at 1.-The

might be able to explain how the

Washington, Dec. 12.-Corn sup

of the bureau of the census recently.
Based on the value of the production

The value of the corn crop was

The value of corn, hay, cotton and
wheat represented a value amount

Guard on Train
Shoots Two Boys

Denmark, Dec. 17.-Harmon Du-
senbury, of Conway, and J. R. Swy-
CERT, Of Peak, young white men, were
shot and painfully wounded by the
marine guard on the mail coach of
the Seaboard Air Line train here at 4
o'clock this morning.
Three shots hit Dusenbury. one en-
tered the left side of the throat, a
second pierced the left foot and a
third grazed the left hand.
Only one shot hit Swygert, this en-
tering the thigh.
Both Of the young men were taken
to a boarding house and given medi-
cal attention.
1t is said that until recently they
were students at the University of
South Carolina. They claim they had
gone to Florida and having expended
all their money were riding blind
baggage back to Columbia.
It was, also said that they got on
the train at Fairfax and that when
ordered by the guard to get off at
Denmark they refused and that the
shooting followed.
SDusenbury left for his home in
Conway this afternoon. Swygert is
expected to be taken home also at
once.

Court Session Declared Illegal
and Comes to a Sudden Halt

1t was expected that last week
would be big one in the criminal
court annals of Bamberg county, but
along came a visiting lawyer and up
set the dope. So many cases we're
to be tried that special term of the
court of general sessions had been
ordered for the week, and there was
more than enough business on hand
to require the entire time allotted.
Holding court costs any county a big
lot of money and it's a great pity
that this court had to break down.
1t seems that there is statute law
in this state which provides the re-
quirement that before any special
term of criminal court can be held
legally the same must be duly adj
vertised 5 days in advance.
Three cases had already been tried
before the fatal defect was discov-
cred by a Walterboro attorney rep
resenting Edwin L. Goodwin, charg-
ed with murder. Two Of the cases
tried were homicide cases, the first
against a negro, Ernest Nelson, in
which he was convicted of man.
slaughter. Then came the case
against Jimmie Stukes, another me-
gro charged with murder, and he
was acquitted. The last one tried
was against L. B. Sessions, white
man of Olar, in which he was indict-
ed for issuing and uttering a bogus
check, and the jury found him not
guilty.
At this juncture the fire works
blew up and everything else blew
down. The Goodwin case was called
and his attorneys at once entered
into bitter legal fight to continue
his case. His chances seemed all but
hopeless as motion after motion was
promptly overruled by the court on
various grounds, and it appeared all
most certainty thaA Goodwin would
be placed on trial for his life. Then
suddenly somebody supplied the
straw to the drowning man, burst
of illumination came from him, he
tipped off the fuse and the explosion
went up. Hardly ever before has
one lawyer blown whole week OF
court to the winds iq Bamberg coun-
ty, and while jealous and commend
able for his services to his client, so
far as the lawyer is concerned, still,
such occurrences are to be depFored
so far as the county is concerned.
He won his victory, but at great
expense. to his sister county. And
Goodwin will probably be tried in
January. All other cases of course
had to be continued; and another
bad feature is that it is highly prob
able that what had already been
accomplished probably amounts to
nothing, and the three cases tried
may have to be gone over again.
That is certain as to the Ernest Nell
son case, the judge promptly grant
ing a new trial to him for the rea-
son that Ihe was convicted by an IL
legal court. The solicitor asked for
a new trial in the two cases where
acquittals were rendered on the
same ground, that is, the two de-
PENDANTS had never been. legally put
in jeopardy. The court reserved its
decision as to these two.

ATLANTA Concern to Build Bridge;
Local Men Get Road Contract

Wednesday in the Bamberg' county
commissioners Office for the con-
struction of the government highway
on the Orangeburg road, Bamberg
county side, from the new bridge
through the swamp, and for the erec-
ficn of the fine new steel and con-
crete bridge on this road across Eds
to river three miles from Bamberg.
A number of Orangeburg people were
on hand including the county COM
sioners, much interest was manifest
ed in the matter, competition was
keen among the Ndders, it growing
practically into contest, and no less
than a total Of Is bids were received
and considered on the two jobs. The
lowest bidders in each instance were,
of. course, given the jobs. The
Orangeburg-Bamberg highway is on
route designated officially by the
United States government, a regular
government road, in other words, and
therefore half of this total expense
in building the road and bridge Will
be borne by the government. What
ever agency is most instrumental IN
obtaining government appropriations
for these roads through the south is
doing a good work for our progress
and we should be glad to get at least
some government money down here
for something. The other half OF this
cost for building Of the road through
the swamp will be paid by Bam-
berg county while the half OF the
bridge construction expenses will bel
apportioned equally between Bam-
berg and orangeburg counties, each
furnishing onesfourth Of bhe total
funds necessary. This highway has
already been completed on the
orangeburg county side from the
river to that city, a distance Of ID
miles, and is fine and in excellent
condition at present.
The successful bid for the bridget
spproximated $4,000, and was subj
united by Austin Bros, an Atlanta
Arm of engineers. There were l6
bids for this, contract and next tot
Austin Bros. came Charleston con-
Germ Just SITS above them, while thef
third lowest bid was submitted by
Francis NJ. Bamberg, Of this city.
These 16 bids ranged in amount all
the way from this lowest mark tol
$55, 900.
The contract for the road was let}
for s4,5o5.72 to E. W. Watson OF
this city, and L. P. Mcmillan, also OF
Bamberg, and a former county super
visor here, these two gentlemen get-l
ting the job on a partnership basis. |
Their bid was little over $500 iessl
than the next lowest to them. It isl
expected that actual operations IN
connection with the work OF both 5obsI
will begin about the first of January
and h is hoped that they will both be
rushed through to rapid completion
and this entire road thus perfected to
a splendid highway at not TAR dis
tant date. Bamberg county's snare
OF the money to be paid for the con-
tracts approximates $11, 900.

Harmon Dusenbury and J. R. Swy-

a marine mail car guard in Denmark
yesterday, had been living in Colum-
bia for some time. Dusenbury was
registered as a special student at the
University of South Carolina last year
but did not reenter this year, accord
ing to L. T. Baker, dean of the uni
versity.
Swygert was known on the univer-

night in so far as he knew Swygert
had never been a student there.
Dusenbury is from Conway, while
Swygert is from Peak. The two left

to acquaintances here intending to
go to Florida, and no information Of
them as far as is known, had been
received in Columbia until the news
of the shooting reached here yester-
