The Mayor; Matinee
Monday Morning

The mayors matinee Monday
| netted the city $50, money apparent
ly being so plentiful with the miscre-
ants now that they have actually
gone one step further and are for
feiting their bonds when occasionally
they might get off little ligheer if
they would put in an appearance at
| the city court.
Six cases were completed, all Of
tenders being negroe men except John
Grimes, charged with being drunk
and disorderly; he forfeited his bond
of $40.
Uriah Nimmons on the same
charge forfeited his bond in the same
amount.
Mack Punches on a charge of SELL
ing whiskey also forfeited his bond,
this being s25.
Henry Frontice and Charlie Moor
er, both charged with gambling, paid
fines of IS each.
Sylvester Butterfield seemed to be
the bad egg of the day, the mayor
and the city clerk having personally
taken him under their wings them
selves Saturday afternoon. He was
found guilty of being drunk and dis
orderly, carrying concealed weapons
and resisting arrest, and paid SIS
for his devilment.
It is getting to be a common prac-
tice to find revolvers on people now
adays and it is indeed mighty bad
business for them and stop should
be put to it if possible. 1t invariably
means trouble for them one way or
the other and if they haven't sense
enough to realize it they should be
made to feel it. The city has in it's
possession almost enough of these
weapons to open up an armory, and
the majority of them have been cap
tured recently.
There were no acquittals Monday,
and of course in each instance it was
necessary to substitute an alterna-
tive of a sentence at hard labor along
with the fine, but the fines were
unanimously paid. When any al
legged offender forfeits his bond in
any court he is nevertheless liable to
trial at any time thereafter for the
same act

Plan to Build New
Dorn1itory at Once

For some time past the board OF
control of Carlisle school has been
planning enlargement and expansion
of the facilities of the institution, and
especially has this been the case dur
ing. the past six months because OF
the campaign conducted by the NJ. E.
Church, South, for the raising OF a
large amount of money to enlarge all
church schools and colleges. In this
campaign the amount allotted to
Carlisle was s1O5,000, and it was
the idea of the board to use this
money for buildings and equipment,
providing definite general scheme
or plan for enlargement and growth.
The recent disastrous fires made
prompt action necessary, as only
a few months ago the Mary Ann
Bambeng Hall was practically de-
stroyed, and the total destruction
Thursday night of H. ]. Brabham
hall made necessary meeting OF the
hoard Of control Friday morning. At
this meeting practically every mem
her of the board was present, and af-
ter a thorough discussion of the situ-
alton the following statement was
made public as the result of the
meeting:
sThe first matter considered was
the proper care of the Students
and satisfactory arrangements were
made to comfortably and properly
take care of all students now in
school and for more who are ex-
pected in a few weeks. This phase
received most earnest and careful
consideration, and parents are as
sured that their sons will be we'll
cared for during the balance of the
school year.
'tThe matter of new dormitory
was gone into, and plans were in
stituted for the erection of a large
and handsome brick BUILDING, 10 De
ready for occupancy at the opening
of the school next fall. A commit
tee was appointed to confer with
architects and builders in regard to
the building as well as the general
plan for enlargement and this build
ing will be erected so as to fit into the
building scheme as whole. The
board realized that prompt action was
necessary, and the construction OF
the building will begin just as early
as is possible, but at the same time
the board looks to the future and
nothing of a temporary character will
he erected

shamefully large number Of homicide

Colored Girl Burned
ToDeah Saturday

One of the most horrible tragedies
which has occurred in Bamberg for a
long while happened within the city
limits Saturday afternoon when Ma
belle Kearse, nineteen-year-old
daughter of George Kearse, very
respectable and we'll known colored
man of this city, was literally burned
I'D. George Kearse has resided in
Bamberg for many years, and has al
ways conducted himself well and
raised his family well; some years
ago he used to be a very familiar
figure on the streets when driving
for Thomas Black, live stock dealer,
and the community sympathizes with
him now in his grief.
George with his family lives just
beyond the colored Baptist church
which stands at the northern extremi-
ty of New Bridge street. Saturday
afternoon all the members of the
family were called away from the
home for one reason or another leav-
ing only Mabelle there alone. 1t
seems that this unfortunate girl was
subject to fits of some kind and suf-
fered the deplorable misfortune to
have one of the spells come on while
the others were thus away and she
fell directly in the fire. Thus help
less she had not chance for her
life and death with the attending ex-
treme torture was of course the re-
suit. When some one finally arrived
the remains were discovered still ly-
ing in the fire and the body complete
ly burnt and cooked to a crisp so
that medical aid was altogether un-
availing as the poor girl had been
dead for some time. The facts ap-
peared to be so clear that the authorl-
ties deemed it unnecessary to con-
duct an inquest.

Mrs. Hit entered hospital for an
operation.
Mrs. J. j. Bra abham, who has for
some time been quite i'll, has greatly
improved and is now sitting up daily
much to the delight of her many
friends who feel she will now very
shortly be entirely restored to her
normal good health.
The hosts of friends of the Rev. S.
o. Cantey, beloved pastor of Trinity
Methodist church here, will regret to
know that he was compelled to enter
a Charleston hospital the first of this
week for a minor operation. The
operation has been performed and
Mr.. Cantey's condition is satisfac-
tory.
Rev. LID. Mitchell, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Saluda, S. c.,
was in the city last week and made

What is probably a record for the
payment of a life insurance policy,
was made in Bamberg last Saturday.
Mabelie Kearse, the colored girl who

after her sudden death the company

 Trading Has Been

Rv Associated Presa

New York. December 1.-The cotton market has been comparatively quiet during the week. The rallies of late last week on reports of an improved spot de- mand and covering were followed by rather a sharp break Monday. January contracts, which had sold up to 25.79c on the rally. broke back to 24.S0c. or even with the previous low level of the move ment, while December made new low ground
 trade buying again appeared to increase and there were rallies preceding the holi- dav on covering Since then. business has been particularly quiet, suggesting that scattering commitments had been pretty well liquidated and that traders were in- ures or the approaching government crop estimate before re.entsring the market.
 Private Reports
 Three of four more private crop ports have been published, with estimates of the yield ranging from about 9,6o0,oo0 appeared to have very little influence on the market and many traders here are ex- pressing an opinion that interest in the ex- act size of the crop is diminishing, and that the market will be governed moro largely by the state of trade, or next crop prospects as they begin to develop.
 There has been little or no change in reports from the domestic cotton goods markets. which have remained eompara- lively quiet, but generally steady, as though merchants were expecting a re- Viyal Of business after the hoAdays.
 Reports from Manchester have con- ports have been running heavier, proba- bly, refiecting the cleaning up of end Mo- vember comments. and the export move- ment for the season is now only some TO 000 to s0.000 bales behind last years figures The trade expects private turns on ginning to December next week, pending which local statistcians point out that a ginning of about 420000 to 425,000 bales between November IA and December would show about the same increase over last years figures as indicated by ginnings for the preceding period.
