?1j* Hambrrg Ifcralb Thursday, Sept. 3, 1908 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. There are no public sales to be held the first Monday in September. Cotton is coming in right along, but the price is not high enough to suit us. Fountain pens 10 cents each at The Herald Book Store. They write good, too. Note the advertisement of St. Angela's Academy at Aiken in this issue. Beautiful line pictures from 25 cents up at The Herald Book Store. Not a bad subject in the line. The offices in The Herald building have all been rented, and will be occupied by various tenants after September 1st. That pressed cut glass at The Herald Book Store is very pretty, and it . , is so cheap. One would be astonished at the prices. Typewriter ribbons, 50 cents eacb, at The Herald Book Store. We have ribbons for the Oliver, Monarch, Underwood, Hammond, L. C. Smith, Fox, and Remington. People are learning the way to i The Herald Book Store. They are finding out that we keej> anything in stationery or office supplies. Our stock of blank books is complete. In Orangeburg county J. H. Dukes, *%l the present sheriff, was defeated for re-election by A. M. Salley. Dukes has held the office since 1892. The vote was: Dukes 1545; Salley s 1S91' ^ Th1^ Herald Book Store has just ' received a beautiful line of cut glass and fancy china. Come in and see if, and let us quote some prices. You will find it much cheaper than you have been paying. Some people think they must go to a big city to get a stylish or upto-date vehicle. They forget that the other chaos have identically the same factories to select from that I do. G. FRANK BAMBERG, Big city dealers must charge a greater profit for the same vehicle, than h because of higher rents, insurance, taxes, cost of living and .conducting business. G. FRANK BAMBERG. Don't say the old vehicle will ; have to do, that it can be fixed up after a fashion. Isn't it poor economy to make yourself dissatisfied. , G. FRANK BAMBERG. V The voters of this county are attending to the important matter of ^... ' registering. Over 1.300 have registered up to date. It is thought the total registration will reach 1,500 or - . more. Few negroes are applying for J ^ certificates. I cannot help it, if the bargain , vehicle you bought did not turn out i to be what you paid your money for ( and the concern you bought it of is out of business. G. FRANK BAMBERG. Bftyv- *? : < There was a large vote polled in : this county, at the primary last Tues- ] day, the total being 1206, the largest i number polled since the county was < 4 formed. At the Bamberg box the vote was 332, being about fifty more , than was ever polled here. What I save you on a buggy or wagon will go a long ways toward ; buying a set of harness. I buy in quantities and pay spot cash. Of eourse I can sell you cheaper. < G. FRANK BAMBERG. v.v? A. W.

About two months ago while two J little children of Mr. Gus Hutto, liv- 1 ing near Olar, were at play the older 1 dropped a large round tobacco tag in ! the mouth of the younger who swallowed the tag. After forty-three days suffering for the child and uneasiness for the parents the tag was < thrown up and the little one is all ' right again.?Barnwell People. The county Democratic executive I committee met here last Thursday ; to count the votes cast in Tuesday's primary and declare the result. Our table on another page gives the official figures. A. W. Knight was elected a member of the State Democratic executive committee, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of E. T. LaFitte, Esq. 9 Monday, September 7th, being a legal holiday, the Ehrhardt Banking Co. will be closed for that day. All paper maturing on that day will be payable the day following. W. J. Bryan, the Democratic nominee for president, will be heard at G. A. Ducker's, Bamberg, S. C. Hear the famous orator on the Victor Talking Machine at Ducker's. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Counts in this city will regret to learn of the death of their baby boy, which occurred in Hendersonville last Friday, where the family were spending the summer. The little fellow was about two years old, and had been sick for about two months. The burial took place at Laurens. The largest and best stock of horses and mules, buggies and wagons, harness and saddlery in lower South Carolina always on hand. G. FRANK BAMBERG. The second primary in this county will be a very tame affair so far as county officers are concerned, as there will only be magistrates to be voted for at a few boxes. Unless the second races for United States Senator, State Superintendent of Ednno*inn onH WailrnoH Pnmmifiainnpr UV^ai/lUU? auu VWU create some interest among our people, a very light vote will be polled, except in those boxes where magistrates are to be voted for.

Up to last week Bamberg had made no attempt to assist in supplementing the National Democratic campaign fund which is being collected at Columbia by the State newspaper, even though a majority of the towns of any importance in the State had made at least one, and in some cases as many as two or three contributions. Mr. W. C. Patrick, feeling that the town should at least have some representation in the fund, circulated a subscription list and succeeded in raising $21.35 which was forwarded to Mr. William E. Gonzales as the first contribution. There will "be a list opened at the Herald office now where those who feel that they would like to help this worthy cause may contribute.

BELLINGER DEAD. An Able Lawyer and Prominent Citizen Passes Away. Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., died at his residence in this city last Thursday afternoon, after a long and brave struggle against an incurable disease. Mr. Bellinger had been in bad health for months, and in the spring he made a trip to New York for treatment. Later he went to Mississippi to a health resort, but he did not improve and was forced to come home several weeks ago. Since that time he had shown some signs of improvement. True he would have bad attacks but would improve. However, he had a severe attack Wednesday night and grew worse until the end came about four o'clock Thursday afternoon. The burial took place at Southend cemetery Friday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. S. Carey Beckwith, rector of Grace Episcopal church, Charleston. The funeral was largely attended by the friends and relatives of the family, several from a distance being present. The floral ofO Q T?

Copeland, Jr., J. F. Carter, W. M. Brabham. Mr. Bellinger is survived by his wife and several children, as well as two brothers and one sister. His brothers are: Messrs. E. E. Bellinger, of Charleston, and Chas. Bellinger, of Beaufort, and his sister is Mrs. F. B Lewis, of Birmingham, Ala. Jno. R. Bellinger was born in Walterboro March 14, 1851, and was 581 years old at the time of his death, j He studied law in the office of C. C. j Tracy, Esq., at Walterboro, and was admitted to the bar at the age of 21 years. He located in Blackville for the practice of his profession, where he remained for several years, then moving to Greenville. In 1896 he moved to Bamberg. He married Miss Cornelia Rice, of this place, while he was practicing at Blackville. Mr. Bellinger was a fine lawyer, and had the best practice of any attorney at the local bar. He was essentially a student of the law and an earnest and convincing advocate. High toned and honorable, he won his cases because he , was convinced himself of the justice of his client's cause. As a citizen he was * r, rr Till Klin SniHtPll. atld CLIUCI pi IdlUg, i>uuov ?r.. progressive. Every movement looking to the good of the town and community had his hearty support. He was an enthusiast in educational matters, and was for years a member of the board of trustees of the Bamberg graded school, beftig secretary and treasurer of the board. At the time of his death he was president of the Peoples Building and Loan Association, a director of the Bamberg Cotton Mills Co., and attorney for Bamberg Banking Company, the cottpn mill and oil mill. Mr. Bellinger was one of the very brightest Masons in this State. He was Past errand master of the order, a Knight Templar, a Shriner, and had been Grand High Priest of the Royal Arch Chapter in this State. It has never been our good fortune to meet a man so thoroughly imbued with the principles of Masonry as Mr. Bellinger. He lovea tne oraer as iew uxcu uv, and it was his pleasure to instruct men in those principles. He requested that he be not buried with Masonic honors, for he < said that all knew how much he loved the order, but he wanted to impress upon his family and friends that his church lame first. It was the pleasure and privilege of the writer to know him well, and few know as well the great love lie bore humanity. Often he was misunderstood, but it can be truly said uf him that he loved his fellowman and was never so happy as when doing what he could to make the world brighter and happier. He loved his bome, his family, his friends, and no me ever asked a kindness of him that was not granted. He was one uf the South Carolina gentlemen who are fast passing away, and the State and community are poorer for his having gone. The Vote for Magistrates.

Lightfoot Victim of Attack by Frank Demars. Orangeburg, August 28.?A sensational affair occurred this afternoon on the North-bound Atlantic Coast Line train, about a mile out.side the city limits, when Frank Demars, a former policeman of this city, attacked the Rev. E. M. Lightfoot and struck him twice with a part of a buggy whip, while Mr. Lightfoot, who is pastor of the Baptist church here, was on his way to New York. The difficulty was a result of a letter written by Mr. Lightfoot to another preacher of this county, in which he stated that Mr. Demars was one of the parties who placed a coffin on the minister's porch more than a year ago, which affair caused much indignation among the citizens of this place. The grand jury made an investigation, but no indictment was returned. Demars says that an explanation made by him to Mr. Lightfoot had been accepted by the latter, who stated that he no longer suspected Demars as being connected with the coffin affair. Mr. f\Amono' efofomonf Affhio o ffornnATi 'c JL/^iuai o ovavvuivuv vj. vuiw w&uvt wwu w trouble is that, feeling that he had been slandered and his wife and children reflected on, he was determined to demand an explanation, and as Mr. Lightfoot was to be absent from the city for several weeks he decided to have the inatter settled without delay. He Doarded the train this afternoon and when beyond the city limits asked the minister if he wrote the letter, and produced a copy of the same. Mr. Lightfoot replied that he didn't care to discuss it, whereupon Demars drew a whip and struck the minister twice, after which he desisted on account of the presence of ladies in the coach. Mr. Lightfoot continued on his journey and Mr. Demars returned here tonight. Mr. Lightfoot's side of the affair will probably not be known until he returns, when there will doubtless be further developments. Tetterine?A Reliable Cure. Tetterine is a sure, safe and speedy cure for eczema, tetter, skin and scalp diseases and itching piles. Endorsed by physicians; praised by thousands who have used it. Fragrant, soothing, antiseptic. 5oc. at druggists or by mail from J. T. Shuptrine, Dept. A, Savannah, Ga. The Result in Barnwell. In Barnwell county Griffin was elected to the legislature, Peeples.

B. Creech. The Election News. Last Wednesday morning the Bamberg Herald was on the streets before daylight with the result of the election in this county, as well as a report of results in the State primary which was as complete as possible and gave predictions which have not been changed by the official count. Only two boxes were missing in this county, and these could not change the result in .afiy contest. Our friends, many of them, have kindly congratulated us on our work, and we are grateful. It is our desire to print the news all the time, and we will give Bamberg county an up-to-date newspaper if they will ?Hvo mc thoir natrrvnaere.
