Those who adopt the McCaskey system do so to avoid errors. "Bookkeeping unkeeps accounts." D. A. KINARD & CO. Hugo Sheridan, Jr., of Bamberg, is in the city, the guest of his brother, Howard Sheridan, who graduates from Wofford. Mr. Hugo Sheridan, Jr., is the linotype operator on The Bamberg Herald.?Spartanburg Herald, June 14th. At the morning service at the Methodist church last Sunday, Rev. T. G. Herbert requested the ladies to come to the evening service without their hats. He made some timely remarks on the high hat nuisance, in making the request. Thevfirst campaign meeting in this county is to be held at Denmark Wednesday, July 15th. Pledges of candidates must be filed before this meeting. From present indications the campaign will be a warm one, although it is . likely some officials will not be opposed for re-election. The Herald Book Store has anything the business man may need in the line of office supplies, and for |||? -xthe ladies we have a beautiful line pR-; of fine papers, calling cards, score gfcj cards with dainty pencils, invitation 3*.*>+/ , ah nnr- is npw. and Cttl U3| All VU1 uvvv? ? , we will be glad to show it.

KINARD & CO. The faculty of the Bamberg graded school is about complete, the selec0^ tion of the teaching force having been largely left with Mr. Allen, the principal. The names of the teachers will be announced next week if possible, as well as the grades assigned them. The Bamberg boys didn't do a 5; . thing to the Hampton ball players last week. Wednesday's game was a victory for Bamberg, the score being 8 to 2 when the game was stopped by rain. Thursday afternoon Bamberg won by a score of four to one, thus taking the entire series of three games. The architect was down from Columbia la?t week, and final settlement was made with Mr. Grandy, the contractor for the new graded school building. The building will cost, including the heating and architect's fees, about $10,315.00, and the new furniture will cost $1,080.00 more. The trustees will have to borrow about $3,400.00 in order to com u-.su: A J* piete me uunuiug emu luiuuu K. . Big Day at Ulmer. We are requested to announce that there will be a barbecue and basket picnic at Ulmer on Saturday, July 4th. There will also be a baseball game and speaking by the Barnwell county candidates. Everybody is invited and promised a good time. life -" The Herald's Troubles. Our friends have no conception of the great handicap The Herald is enduring just now because of no day current to run our linotype machine. We can use it at night only, and of course we cannot begin to get the results from it which we should. We run our job presses by hand in the day time and by electricity at night, but the linotype cannot be operated by hand. However, we are ! now negotiating for a day current of I our own, and hope to get the situa[ tion relieved in the next few weeks. ' Pleasant Fish Fry. There was a most delightful fish [ fry given at the river Monday by Mr. and Mrs. Jno. H. Cope. There were plenty of fish, and boat riding, fishahrkntin** nt tarerets was in 1115* auu ? dulgecl in by the young folks present. Those present were: .Mr. and Mrs. Jno. H. Cope, Mrs. L. E. Livingston. Rev. and Mrs. T. G. Herbert, Mr. and Mrs. David Felder, Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Cleckley, Misses Ida and Mary Livingston, Genie Cope, Neta Brant, Mary Hil>, of Sumter, Georgie Antley, of Cordova; Messrs. Edgar Mack, of Cordova, J. J. Smoak, and Glenn Cope. The Denmark Hotel. The many friends of Mr. J. R. Owens will be delighted to know that he is meeting with great success as a hotel proprietor. In January last he and Mrs. Owens took charge or the Denmark Hotel, having purchased it from Mr. L. C. Rice. Under their management the patronage of the hotel has largely increased, and it is now known to the public as the travelling man's home. Mr. and Mrs. Owens are both exceedingly clever people, and they make their guests feel at home by their cordial manner, while nothing is overlooked for the comfort or convenience of those who stop with them. Mr. Owens takes a great pride in the reputation of his house, and it is freely stated by the traveling men that the fare at the Denmark hotel excels that of many city hotels who charge higher prices. When our readers are in Denmark, they will certainly be pleased if they stop with Mr. Owens. The Mims Killing. Mrs. G. A. Ducker went up to Columbia last week on account of the killing of her father, Joe' Mims, by his son, Pressly Mims. The killing occurred at the Wateree, bridge near Columbia, where the old man Mims was keeper of the bridge. The son is a man of about thirty years of ooomc that hp had beeh. auu iv kTwmw ? staying down there with his father for several months, the old man practically supporting his son's family, there being a wife and five children. The families of both men lived in Columbia. From the statements of parties who were near by when the killing occurred, it seems that the father and son got to quarreling while they were sitting at the table eating, and the old man was shot by Pressly before he could get hold of the axe, even if he went for it, which is doubted. The younger man could easily have taken the axe away from his father, and it is thought the killing was done in sudden heat and passion during a quarrel between "the two men. Young Mims is in jail in Columbia. Children Entertained. Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg and Mra Jacob E. Felder entertained their Sunday-school classes with a delightful lawn party at the handsome home of the former, on Railroad Avenue, last Thursday afternoon from five to seven o'clock.* A peanut contest afforded amusement for the little ones, Leona Brabham being the most successful one, receiving for her skill a dainty pair of armlets. Delicious ices and creams were served during the afternoon, Leona Brabham, Nelson Wright, and Mildred Knight being the waitresses. Mrs. Bamberg and Mrs. Felder have in their charge the infant classes of the Methodist Sunday-school, and both of them by their Christian attitude to these litle ones have won their devout love and esteem, and are exceedingly popular' with the children.

It is to be held on Wednesday, July 15th, instead of July 1st, as we published heretofore. We cannot imagine how we made this mistake in date, but the 15th is the proper date. Candidates will have until that time to file their pledges and. pay assessment to the county chairman. The meeting at Ehrhardt is to be held on Wednesday, July 22nd. The date for the Bam berg meeting has not been nxea yet. Alex Hall Convicted. Lexington, June 12.?The solicitor called for trial this afternoon the case of the State against Alex Hall, the negro who has been in the State penitentiary for safe keeping, charged with assault with intent to ravish Mrs. Claude Sox at Edmund, a station on the Southern about nine miles from here, on April 11 last. Hall had no lawyer, and the trial was short, as the only witness for the State was the prosecutrix, and her testimony was practically as heretofore detailed, as was the testimony of the defendant. The jury remained out ten minutes, returning a verdict of guilty. Judge DeVore will pass sentence in the morning. * V New Advertisements. S. G. Ray?Candidate's Card.

Cauthen, formerly of this city, but now of Ninety-Six, is working for a scholarship in Yale University. He is soliciting subscriptions for the Delineator, this magazine having offered the scholarship to the young man securing the largest number of subscribers during the summer. We hope he will be successful and we trust he will secure a large number of subscribers in Bamberg. The Delineator is $1.00 per year. New Registration. This is the year for re-registration by the constitution of the State, and the county registration boards will shortly undertake a vigorous campaign for registering all of the voters. For the purpose of allowing all to register the law orders that the county registration boards stay in session for 60 days, beginning on July 1 and closing September 1 in the county court house. After that date the board will go into the country and remain one month. Each town of over 300 inhabitants will be visited, and all of the voters given a chance to enroll themselves. C. Flournoy Arrested. Greenville, JuSt 15.?C. Flournoy of Spartanburg, who claims to be promoting The Thermal Iron and Railroad company, was arrested here this afternoon, charged with false pretense in securing $10 from Ticket Agent Carson at the Southern depot. Flournoy is in jail in default of bond. He claims to be owner of Little Mountain, N. C., and says this project is backed by the United States Steel corporation. The belief is that the man is derahged. However, he has secured a commission from the secretory of state and has been proceeding with the organization of his company. On the application for charter appears the name of John Gary Evans of Spartanburg as general counselor. Flournoy is said to hail from Virginia. SPECIAL NOTICES.
