The annual reunion of Co. G is to be held at Bethesda church to-day. A large crowd is expected to attend as usual. Crops in this section are improving rapidly now, and if the favorable conditions continue our farmers will not be in such bad shape after all. Prof. Wiggins, of Columbia College, conducted services at the Methodist church Sunday evening. He was here in the interest of the col' lege. There is to be an ice cream festival at the C. F.

The Denmark and Bamberg boys played a game of base ball on the Fitting School campus last Friday afternoon. Only seven innings were played, and Bamberg won by a score of four to three. Rev. Peter Stokes hit some of these selfish people in Bamberg a hard blow in his sermon last Sunday morning, on religion in business. Next Sunday he will preach on religion in politics and will pay his respects to the dispensary. ? '?

Reward will be paid if returned to H. H. Copeland. We heard the other day of an old negro woman in town who raised a lot of chickens in a peculiar manner. She put the eggs in a box down by ?;: the fire and kept them until they hatched and then raised the chickens around the fire. This beats hens and incubators. The Bamberg boys went down to Branchville Monday afternoon to play a game of base ball. Branchville f won by a score of 10 to 8. Our boys expect to have some good games here soon, as some of the young men have gottep together and Mr. F. M. Moye has been made manager. J. H. Ralstin and his missionary band of workers left town Monday. They were to go to Columbia from here. We understand that several of the factory hands professed conversion, and four were baptized at r the river last Sunday. Two or more of their converts left town with them. Mr. R. W. D. Rowell, county auditor and superintendent of education, spent last Friday in Columbia. He < went up to sign his settlement sheet ; with the comptroller general and to look after the high school matter. 1 His settlement sheet shows a balance 1 on hand of county funds of $8,000. 1 Misses Carrie and Laura Bamberg desire to extend thanks to the many , friends who assisted in saving their furniture last Sunday.

' Buford's Bridge school district in 1 this county will soon hold an election ' on the question of establishing a high ] school in that district. Bamberg is the banner county so far in the mat- i ter of holding these elections. This i is only reasonable and to be expected, ; \ 1 for we have fine country schools and i our people are awake on educational matters. Mr. G. W.

Dear Mr. Knight:?Please announce in the "Herald" next week that we will have our regular preaching service at the Baptist church July 28th. I expect to return for that Sunday. Very truly yours, A. J Foster Robertsville, Tenn., July 16, 1907. Carried Back to New York. Lillie Gaines, the negro woman who was arrested here last week for the New York authorities, was taken back to that city to-day. Officer^orbes, of the New York police force, was in charge of the woman and he left over the Atlantic Coast Line at 2:45 this afternoon. After the woman was arrested here on the charge of forgery it was found that she had disposed of her child, an infant, after she left New York. The baby was found near Bamberg, where it had been thrown from the train. The neero woman acknowledged to the deed and after she has faced a forgery charge in New York she may be brought back to South Carolina on the charge of attempted infanticide. However, the baby was not hurt and was found in good condition. The woman went back to New York without the formalities of requisition papers.?Augusta Herald, July 19. Married Near Cope. Wednesday afternoon of last week Mr. Harold A. Loring was married to Miss Elma Zuline Zeigler, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride in the Cope section of Orangeburg county. The wedding w?<? a miiet affair, onlv the immediate family being present. Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, pastor of the Orangeburg Baptist church, was the officiating minister. The bride is a daughter of Mr. W. L. Zeigler, and is a Sister of Miss May Zeigler, one of the teachers in the Bamberg gTaded school. The groom is a native of Portland, Maine,but has been musical director of Limestone college at Gaffney, at which place he met the young lady as a student of the institution. They have gone on a wedding trip to the North and East. Two Fires. The colored Baptist parsonage, occupied by Rev. J. H. Walker, was burned last Saturday night about ten * o'clock. He and his family were away from home, and the house, was in charge of a hear neighbor. The supposition is that it was caused by rats and matches, as there had been no fire in the house for a day or so. Some of the furniture was saved. The fire originated in the kitchen part of the house, and nothing was saved except from the front rooms. There was insurance of $600 on the house and $200 on furniture, but this will not cover the loss. There was some talk around town that the parsonage had been set on fire. It seems there has been some dissatisfaction in regard to the pas!-/-?* onrl fhic thmitrht. to have ^iven foundation to the report, We asked Rev. Walker in regard to the report, and he stated that he did not suspect any one, and did not think the house was set cm fire. He attributed the fire to rats and matches. It also appears that whatever friction had arisen has been adjusted. Sunday about noon the alarm of fire was again sounded, and this time it was the home of Misses Carrie and Laura Bamberg. The fire started in a pantry near the house, and while there was no water to put out the flames, there was ample time to save the furniture in the front rooms. Nothing in the dining room and kitchen was saved. Although the crowd which quickly gathered worked hard in carrying out the household goods, they were a great deal more careful than people usually are at fires, and the articles /vn+- iiToro in crnrvi pnnriitinn UlUU^Ut UUC nviv ili ftuwu vvuvuww., not broken up as is too often the case. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hooton board there, and one of the best jobs we ever saw at a fire was the carrying out of Mrs. Hooton's piano. There was no one at home, and the house had to be broken into to save | the furniture. Mr. and Mrs. Hooton had gone to Charleston, and the Missfes Bamberg had gone out to ; spend the day with their brother, Capt. W. S. Bamberg. There was insurance of $800 on the house and fur- ' niture, but this will not near cover the loss. It is not known how the fire originated. There had been no fire in the pantry, so it must have been a case of rats and matches again. 1 Remember that the warehouse matter will be discussed at the cotton association meeting the first Monday , in August. A warehouse is a ne- ( cessity, and we can build one easy ; enough if every one who will be j benefitted will do what they should. FREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION.

C., July 10, 1907. PERIL III ran LEAKS Cause of Earthquakes, Says Dr. T. J. J. See. COAST CITIES IN DANGER. Astronomer at Mare island Naval Observatory Says Shores of Pacific, the Deepest of Oceans, Are Constantly Menaced?Frisco Disaster a Lesson. Dr. Thomas Jefferson Jackson See. the famous astronomer of the United States naval observatory at Mare Island, Cal., while visiting his old home in Montgomery City, Mo., recently gaye out a remarkable interview, says a Montgomery City special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. He says he has discovered the one common cause of the six great classes of natural phenomena?the secular leakage of the ocean baftom which gives rise to the development of steam beneath the earth's crust owing to the earth's internal heat He aiso points out that the chief danger of these agitations 1s along the seacoast, and, while serving a useful purpose, it is well to be prepared for their visitation to prevent great destruction of life and property, as has often happened, ow<n<r frk inr?t nf understanding of natural laws. "It seems to be clearly proved," said Dr. See, "that the earth is not contracting, as*heretofore held by men of science, but that the effects of secular cooling of the globe are insensible. If I am not entirely mistaken, I have shown that the earth, so far from contracting, may be slightly expanding. In any case, earthquakes and volcanoes as well as mountain formations in general, depend upon the secular leakage of the ocean bottoms. "The great earthquake and volcanic belts are along the shores of continents or in the sea, and a study of the ocean depths shows that the earthquakes are worst where the sea is deepest and the shore is steepest. The land is often uplifted by earthquakes and the adjacent sea bottom sinks, which means that lava is being expelled from beneath the sea and pushed under the adjacent land. "All the great mountain chains have been formed by this process, and hence the exact parallelism to the seashore, known to every schoolboy, but not heretofore understood by geolo?o i?. km nnf IrnrvtC thf* ^13US. OU oo TT c UlU UVti MMV WW cause of mountain formation or erroneously attributed It to the secular cooling of the earth we could not make any advance in the analysis of earthquake causes, but now that earthquakes are proved to be due to the leakage of the ocean bed, necessarily resulting from the great depth and pressure of water upon it, we are In a position to make progress. "We know that cities on the coasts of deep seas are always unsafe, and therefore their houses should be constructed to withstand earthquakes, and means should be provided for the extinction of conflagrations. If the people of San Francisco had possessed our present knowledge nearly all the loss sustained in the earthquake could have been prevented. California today would have been better off by some $300,000,000, and Stanford university would not have suffered the ruin which has been so deeply regretted. "Knowledge of the laws of nature does not enable us to repair damage * J ???* If QnahloQ us to aireauy uuue, um. u ? guard against a repetition of the disaster and Is therefore most useful to the people and to the state. If a repetition of such disasters can be prevented in future there will be much to console those who suffered so heavily in the great earthquake of April 18. 1906." Dr. See said that the leakage of the ocean, which gives rise to the development of steam within the earth, is slow, as the water has to work down through over ten miles of solid rock like granite. "No other great earthquake is, therefore, to be expected at San Francisco during this generation. In fact, it will be fifty, perhaps a hundred, years before the subterranean stress becomes powerful enough to shake the earth again in a violent manner. San Francisco is therefore safe and rapidly rebuilding. Other towns on the Pacific fnnst. however, ought to take warning from experience and be prepared for I any emergency which may arise. The whole western part of our country beyond the Rocky mountains has been uplifted from the sea by earthquakes within recent geological time, and of course the ocean continues this work of making more land. Except for earthquakes all the land would long since have been washed down, and the lea would have covered the entire globe. Earthquakes, therefore, serve a most useful purpose In the world, because it is only by these forces that any land has been raised above the 3ea to make possible the development of the higher forms of animals and pianca upou cue cauu. ?, therefore, are not to be dreaded, but we must be prepared for them so the iamage done will be minimum. , "No serious disturbance of the earth aeed ever be feared in inland high, dry regions, such as Kansas and Colorado, but on the coast where the sea is deep the people must learn to be prepared for such emergencies. Our eastern < :oast is bordered by a shallow sea, and | sarthquakes are not frequent in that < region. The Pacific is the deepest of | the oceans and surrounded by the < greatest earthquake belts, but the J worst disturbances occur in South < America. Japan and the Aleutian is* (' lands and not In our own country.** < WOFFORD COLLEGE, S artanbttrg, S. C| HENRY NELSON SNYDER, M. A., Litt. D.. LL. D., President I Ten Departments.
