Exciting Reports
Saturday Night

Last Saturday night reports ran
rife in Bamberg. A report came
to town that all of the convicts on
the chain gang has escaped; another
was that convicts had shot or killed
two of the guards, and still another
that one of the convicts had been kill
ed In response to these reports,
county officers hurried to the chain
gang with some citizens armed with
forty-fours and Winchesters or other
arms equally as deadly. When they
reached the chain gang camp it was
found that the reports were all un-
founded, the sum and substance of all
the excitement being that one of the
convicts had been dealt a couple OF
blows while in a drunken condition
by a citizen of the neighborhood.
The chain gang is working in the
Little Swamp section, and one of the
TRUSTEES, John Carter, was sent Sat-
urday afternoon to a farm house
nearby to get some hay. On the trip
he was accommodated by some
friends with more home made wine
than was good for him, and he was
knocked out A lady of the COM
munity he had visited to get the hay
saw him on the ground, and not
knowing he was drunk reported it to
a man of the family, who went to in
vestigate. He shook the negro and
found that he was half drunk. The
negro resented being bothered, EVIL
IDENTIFY, and made the air blue with
language unbecoming a gentleman.
The white man administered a few
we'll directed blows to bring him to
his senses, and the blows did the work
nicely, with result that the negro beg
ged his pardon for the use OF the
language, and begged him not to re-
port it to the chain gang authorl-
ties, as it would mean he would lose
his prestige in the camp as a trusty,
and the white gentleman was so i'm
pressed by his evident sincerity that
he promised not to do so, and went
on his way thinking nothing more OF
it.
The next morning he was surprised
to learn that it was commonly re-
ported the negro had been shot and
was found unconscious in the road
by County Commissioner ]. S. Tant
and another man, who had carried
Carter to the camp and had secured
medical aid. The physician pro-
nounced the injuries very slight, and
the impression rather prevails that
Carter was 'tplaying off, fearing he
would be put to work with the shovel
again. He declined to talk at first
and some of those who looked at him
thought he had been shot in the head.
As soon as the white gentleman
learned of the reports, he at once told
the authorities what had happened.
Carter is serving ten year sent
ence on the chain gang for an assault
with a deadly weapon upon a proml-
nent citizen of the county. He has
served about five years of the sent
ence. and for several years has been
a trusty, and his chain gang record
is said to be rather good.

School Leuy VIII
Remain the Same

The taxpayers and patrons Of
Bamberg school district No. IA met
at the city clerk and treasurer's Of
fee Monday afternoon at four
o'clock for the purpose of electing
one trustee and fixing the tax levy
for the next year. The meeting was
we'll attended, compared with such
usual meetings. w. D. Rowell was
elected chairman Of the meeting
and R. NJ. Hit secretary.
The first business was the election
of a trustee to succeed G.. O. Sim
mons, whose term expires this year.
Mr.. Simmons was nominated and
unanimously elected to succeed him
self.
1t was stated that the present
special tax levy for this school dis
trict is IS mills, three mills of which
are for paying interest on and re-
tiring the bonds for the present
school building, the last of these
bonds being due the present year.
II was moved and seconded that the
levy be fixed the same as the past
year. The question was put without
discussion, and unanimously car
ried.
This concluded the business of the
meeting, but the chairman was re-
uuested to allow the expression Of
any views on the matter Of erecting
new high school building.
At the request of some of those
present, Prof. E. P. Allen stated the
needs of new building. The pres
ent structure, said Prof. Allen, is
inadequate to carry on the work OF
the school. There are now eleven
class rooms in the building and some
improvised ones from the chapel.
In answer to various questions, Prof.
Allen said that the high school must
have five class rooms in order to
participate in the state aid of which
s1.495 was received the present ses-
sion. Next year, he said, minimum
of IA class rooms will be needed to
carry on the proper school work. All
of the rooms are crowded, he said.
some of them to such an extent that
there is hardly passageway.
Replying to another question:
Prof. Allen said that he would like
to see agriculture and commercial
courses added, in the event the high
school is erected, although he said
that this would entail additional ex-
pense. The school standard at pres
ent is high, he said, and if additional
facilities are not provided it will be
necessary to curtail the work by TAX
ing off, probably, one of the higher
grades, which would lower the stand
ard of the school, and in this event
the school would lose state aid. Sal
aries have been reduced this year,
said Prof. Allen; these reductions
being almost sufficient to employ an
additional teacher.
Mayor Thomas stated, for the IN
formation of the meeting, that the
town levy will be lowered this year,
probably four to five mills, depend
ing on the property valuations.
The discussion of the high school
was entirely informal, the meeting
being without authority to take any
action on this matter, which must
be decided at an election called for
that purpose. After this discussion,
the meeting was adjourned.
