Out OF tho Hands of the Philistines.

Out OF the Hands of the Philistines.
That night the Maroons broke loose
upon Jamaica. and began murder and
depreciation against which the COVER
Lor's activities were no check. Estates
were invaded, and men, women and
children killed, or carried into the
mountains and held as hostages. In
the middle and western part of the
island The ruinous movements went on
without being stayed; planters and
people generally rallied at the COVER
nor, and said that through his neglect
these dark things were happening. 1t
was said he had failed to punish Of
lenses by the Maroons, and this had
given them confidence, filling them
with contempt and disdain. They had
one advantage not possessed by the
government troops and m~ilitla-they
were masters OF every square rod Of
land In the middle and west Of the
island. Their plan was to raid, to am
bush, to kill without mercy and to
excite the slaves to rebel.
The first assault and repulse took
place not far from Enniskillen, Dyck
Calhoun's plantation, and Michael
Clones captured a Maroon who was
slightly wounded.
Michael challenged him thus: Come
now. my blitherin' friend, tell us
what's your trouble-why are you
risin'? What's your grievance? You
don't do this without cause-what's
the cause?'
The black man, naked except for q
cloth about his loins. and with a small
bag at his hip. slung from a cord over
his shoulder, showed his teeth in a
stark grimace.
You're a newcomer here. massa, or
you'd know we're treated bad" he an
swered. "We're robbed and trod on
and there's no good word kept with
US. We asked the governor for more
land and he moved US of. So we rose,
massa. and we'll make jamaica sick
before we've done. They can't con.
Quer us. for we can btde and ambush
here. and shoot those that come after
rs. We hide. n behind this rock and
,ne behind that, never more than two
Dr. three together. and we're safe.
vou7l see: well capture captains and
IeneraIs. and we'll cut their heads off
"a bury them In their own CUTS"

A little later they cantered gently to
the front door Of the Salem home

The first face they saw there was
that of Darius Boland. 1t had a look
of trouble. Dyck explained: 1--WE

BANIBERG PRODUCES
FIRST BALE COTTON

South Carolina's first bale of 1922
cotton was turned out yesterday
from the Farmers Gin company, of
this place. The bale weighed 400
pounds and was produced by J. C.
Hewitt, a progressive farmer who
lives two miles from Bamberg.
The bale was forwarded Wednes-
day afternoon to Charleston by ex-
press to be sold at auction.
Notwithstanding the presence in
the county of the boil weevil, our
people have not forgot the art of pro-
ducing the feecy staple, and one Of
the methods employed by Mr. Hew-
lit and other progressive farmers is
getting it in early. Eary maturing
of bolls is considered by Mr.. Hewitt
as a fine weevil beater.
The bale was brought to Bamberg
Tuesday, but could not be ginned un-
til yesterday morning.

Free Barbecue at
Denmark Friday

County political meetings are be-
ing turned into fine social affairs, in
stead of red hot political gatherings,
as they have sometimes been in the
past. Last week Olar came forward
and gave the visitors to the cam
paign meeting a fine free barbecue,
and now comes Denmark with a like
announcement.
The Herald is asked to say that
there have been eleven hogs, couple
of goats and cow or two subscrib-
ed up to Monday morning. There is
no telling how many more have been
consigned for the cue, but suffice it
to say that there will be meat a-plen-
ty for all and to spare.
Everybody is invited, and every
thing is free; no collection, no ad-
mission, no charges. Just come and
eat and be merry The candidates
will supply the fun.
The campaign meetings are really
fine affairs. The candidates are all
good natured, and indeed, they are
developing-those who are not al
ready-into the finest sort of ora
tors. One of the candidates said
Monday his speech was getting bet
ter and better at every meeting, and
he expects it to reach the climax of
fluent oratory by the time the cam
paigners get to Bamberg.
So everybody turn out at Denmark
and hear the candidates and then
they will be served one of the finest
dinners imaginable.

Violation ofLiquor
Law is Charged

Last Thursday afternoon two state
consta bles and a United States reve-
nue. officer visited Bamberg county,
and as a consequence warrants were
| issued for W. D. Blume, who keeps
Railroad avenue store, for his
clerk, Jonah Cowart, and for Fillmore
Green, a negro. The warrants we're
served by Magistrate Edgar Dickin-
sons constable, and the three were
put under bond. 1t is understood
that Magistrate Dickinson will hold
preliminary for the men.
The officers kept their visit to Bam-
berg a secret, and they were in town
perhaps not more than 20 minutes,
leaving immediately after swearing
out warrants for the men.
Upon securing liquor search war;
rants from Magistrate Dickinson, the
three men went Immediately to the
store of Mr.. Blume, where thor
ough search was made of the prem
ises. 1t is said that no liquor was
found, except small bottle which
was found on the person of Green,
who was in the store at the time.
However, the men said that they
had the evidence to warrant the ar
rest of Mr.. Blume and his clerk, Mr..
Cowart, the nature of the evidence
not being stated. Mr.. Blume was not
in the store at the time
~ 1t is understood that the cases will
be tried in the circuit court, and the
constables told officers here that they
would then be carried to the United
States court.
Mr.. Blume is charged with storing
liquor, and Mr. Cowart and Green
are charged with transporting liquor.
AS a result of the activity of the
same men at Denmark, two negroes
are in the county jail charged with
violation of the prohibition law. 1t
is said that the state and revenue Off
GERS have worked up considerable
evidence throughout the county
against violators, and that a general
roundup will probably be made very
soon

A. jeff Gregory Killed by Son.

Kershaw, Aug. "A. jeff Greg
ory, prominent farmer and formerly
cotton weigher at Kershaw, was shot
and killed by his son, Paul Gregory
at his home a few miles from Ker-
shaw at about $50 o'clock this
morning. Young Gregory used 3S
caliEe rifle, four bullets taking effect
to cause almost instantaneous death.
Young Gregory, himself gave the
alarm, telephoning to friends in ker-
shaw that he had killed his father.
He was taken into custody by Sheriff
Welch within few hours otter the
killing and is now in the Camden
Jail facing trial on charge of muir
der, the coroner's jury investigating
the homicide having held him re-
sponsible for the death of his father.
Young Gergory is about Is years old,
but is small for his age, having been
crippled by an attack of infantile
paralysis.
The only eyewitnesses of the patri-
eide, if any, are members of the i'm
mediate family and these with Paul
Gregory have declined to make any
statement with reference to the
shooting. Paul Gregory's youngest
brother and a sister, officers have
been informed, witnessed the trage-
dy. Neither, however, testified at the
coroner's inquest, the jury's verdict
being based upon admissions OF
young Gregory. The boy, after hav-
ing confessed firing the four shots
to persons first reaching the house,
has refused to make any further
statements, officers say, except to
claim that he acted in defense of his
mother and sisters. The first persons
reaching the house after the killing
found a loaded pistol grasped in Mr..
Gregorys hand. The revolver had not
been fired.
Mr.. Gregory was about SO years
old and is prominently connected and
well known in both Kershaw and
Lancaster counties. He is survived
by his widow, five daughters and two
sons
Attorneys for young Gregory, it is
understood here, are intending to
make an effort to secure bail for their

School Figures.

For the year 1920-21 the total in
come of the Bamberg city schools
was S21,2S1.66. In the year 1921
%, provided taxes are collected, the
total income of the schools will be
s23,6O9.SS. This increase is account
ed for in the increased valuation OF
the property in the school district
However, many people have not paid
their taxes for tine past year so far
but the time is up September 1st and
if not paid by that time executions
will be issued against the property
assessed. There was balance on
hand for the year 1920-21 OF
s62O.46, but this is represented by
uncollected taxes, which no doubt
cannot be collected.

DEPUTY PREVENTS TROUBLE.
Warfare is Threatened When Man is
Put Out Of Warehouse.

Florence, Aug. 5.-Only the
prompt Intervention of Deputy Sher-
if Laurie Burch, officers say, is be-
lieved to have averted serious trouble
in Lake City yesterday afternoon, re-
sulting from aversion of independent
tobacco warehouse interests to the
growers pool.
According to the information gain
ed through the sheriff's Office, dur
ing the sale on one of the floors
Thursday the auctioneer observed an
Olanta citizen, named Proctor, who
seemed to him to be soliciting every
one else on the floor. The auctioneer
is said to have suspected that Proc
tor was working the trade for the
pool and to have gotten couple OF
friends to aid him in putting Proctor
off the floor They are said later to
have used Proctor very roughly.
Resenting the treatment, Proctor,
who is understood now to be an in
surance agent and was soliciting poll
icies at the time the auctioneer
thought he was working for the pool,
gathered some of his friends and re-
turned to the floor yesterday. When
thie fact hecame known friends of
each commenced to rally to their re-
spective men.
Deputy Laurie Burch happened to
be in Lake City on some other busi-
ness. Seeing the way the situation
was developing, he called via long
distance for Deputy Maxcy Burch, with
Deputies Connor and Sims to come to
his aid at once. He was able to keep
the two warning factions apart till
aid arrived and then the threatened
outbreak was averted.
Sheriff Burch said this afternoon
he understood all of the principals
have been placed under arrest and
bond to keep the peace and hearing
will be held blythe Lake City magis-
trate. This afternoon the trouble
was reported all quiet and he does
not look now for any further out
break.

Union Claims Oldest Woman Voter

Union, Aug. 4.-As far as can be
learned Union county may easily
claim the distinction of having on its
enrolling books the oldest lady voter
in South Carolina in the person of
Mrs. Susan Kirby, who has enrolled
at the age of 1O7.
Mrs. Kirby gets around in her
home unassisted and her eyesight is
unusually good, she being able to
recognize her children, grandchildren
and great grand children as they call
to see her. Her hearing is also un-
usually good for one of her age.
Mrs. Kirby is devout member of
Green Street Methodist church and
attended services regularly up until
a few years ago, and in speaking
with this correspondent said that
she recalls having passed through
four wars.
Mrs. Kirby said that the family
record was destroyed when their old
family Bible, which was in a. trunk
of clothes, was sunk in Green river
when she and her sister went on a
visit to relatives in North Carolina,
and when crossing the river the flat
boat sank.
The trip of ten miles to visit rela-
tiveswas made in an OK cart, the trip
taking up the entire day.

Attention, Mr.. Merchant.

We have a bureau whose duty it
is to read each week the country
newspapers from ali over the coun-
try. There is not a paper of any
consequence in our trade territory
that our bureau does not get. This
bureau looks over these papers,
and when we find town where
the merchants are not advertising
in the local papers, we immedi-
ately flood that territory with our
literature. 1t always brings re-
suits far in excess of the same ef-
fort in territory where the local
merchants use their local papers.
