Any friends having a copy of this issue will confer a favor on us if they will send it to us. The merchants of Bamberg did a r tremendous business last week. From all reports more goods were sold here during the holidays than ever before. Every merchant seems to be well satisfied with his sales. It is time that Bamberg Methodists were doing something in the way of a new parsonage. The church and parsonage do not go very well together, in fact it looks bad to have such a fine church and such a poor * parsonage building.

The old Methodist parsonage and lot in Denmark has been sold, and a new parsonage will be erected at the new church. The material of rtie old church wil be used as far as possible in erecting the parsonage. This will put both church and parsonage in the new town and at a most central location. Christmas passed off quietly in Bamberg, and there were no accidents of any kind. As usual a lot of fire works were exploded on the streets, but this was to be expected. Few arrests were made by the police, and if there were many /Christmas drunks, the mayor's court ^ / am not snow it. See the new ad. of Henry J. Brabham, Jr., in this issue.

Little Julia Price Wins Handsome Doll in Voting Contest. The voting contest at The Herald Book Store closed last Thursday night at 12 o'clock, after running for several weeks. A number of votes were polled, and a number of customers did not get votes on their purchases because they did not ask for them. We were always glad to give them when requested. The prize was a handsome doll, which was won by little Julia Price, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar L. Price, with little Matrude Brabham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr., second. The finish was exciting, as it was almost anybody's race, the number of votes out making the winner purely problematical. However, little Miss Price kept in the lead, and won out by a good margin. We appreciate the interest taken in this contest, and nest year we expect to have one on a larger scale. At the end of the contest the totals were: Julia Price 2001 Matrude Brabham 1547 Virgie Folk 535 Mary Cleckley 565 Mildred Jones 328 Mary Williams 320 Harriet Wiggins 140 Hazel Armstrong 185 Myrtle Black 157 Lillian Delk 72 Helen Free 72 Natalie Hooton 80 Gussie Hutto 67 Maggie Zeigler 61 Hilda Free 54 Elizabeth Inabinet 41 Rebecca Dickinson 43 T .mi icq IfilfiniS 31 Helen Price 25 Hazel McCormack 17 Lizzilee Priester 15 Homer Godbee 14 Daisy Free 13 Vista Brabham 12 Corinne Fowler . 12 Marion Harmon 10 Mary Lee Grimes 10 Eva May Spann 7 Ann May Kearse 6 Edna Spann 6 Blanche Spann..: 6 Margaret Kinard 6 Wilhelmina McMillan 5 Marie Steedley 5 Lucile Utsey ~5 Marie Steedley 5 Evelyn Brabham 4 Inez Sandifer 4 Adelle Brabham.. 3 Margaret Ray 3 Ida Brabham 3 Julia Utsey 3 Margaret Easterling 2 Lillian Hoffman .1 2 Vera McMillan 1 Gene Price 1 Norma Zeigler 1 Vivian Free 1 Estelle Creech 1 Norma Brabham 1 Gwendolyn Fowler 1 EllzaDetn wngni * Madge Brickie 1 Theresa Fowler.^ 1 DEATH AND DAMAGE IN ITALY. People Panic Stricken by Shocks of Serious Nature. Rome Dec. 28.?Violent earthquake shocks were felt in Calabria this morning. Serious damage is said to have resulted, and some casualties are reported at Mileto, Gonadi, and Stefanconi. At Stefanconi the shock was most severe, but San Gregorio, San Giorgo, and Majerata also suffered. Southern Italy was visited by a serious and fatal earthquake this morning. The center of the disturbance was in Sicily and the greatest loss of life and property occurred on that island. Reports are incomplete. At Caltanisetta and at Mineo several houses were shaken down and the people are panic stricken. At Agosta two churches and several houses were demolished, but no lives were lost. Latest reports are that three dead and sixty wounded were removed from the ruins at Stefaconi. Sixty are said to have been injured at " saniuumu. Tidal Wave at Catania. Catania, Sicily, Dec. 28.?A tidal wave swept this port to-day, a result of the earthquake disturbances. People on the water front were thrown into an indescribable condition of fear. The approach of the water was seen and people fled from th^e waterfront into the town. The waters came and left confusion and damage in their wake. It is not known yet whether any -lives were lost. A number of fishing boats were swamped and three steamers in port were more or less damaged. Three Steamers Damaged. London, Dec. 28.?A dispatcn from Catania Sicily, says that the Swedish steamer Asta, Austrian steamer Budatwo and Italian steamer Orseolo were damaged by the earthquake and consequent tidal disturbance at that port. The extent of the injuries is not given. Recorded in Washington. Washington, Dec. 28.?An earthquake of moderate force but quite prolonged was recorded by the weather bureau instruments last night. It is estimated that the great force of the shock was felt 4,800 miles from here. FIND COUNTERFEITING OUTFIT. Officers Said to Have Discovered Illegal Implement in Greenville. Greenville, Dec. 27.?John E. Washer, of the United States secret service, and Chief of Police J. K. Penman, it is alleged, found a complete counterfeiting outfit, including moulds, metal and dies, hidden in a bed in the isolated shack of Matthew E. Ralston, a carpenter, 10 miles east of here to-day. Ralston was arrested Wednesday night by local police on a charge of passing counterfeit dollars. SUCCUMBS TO BROKEN NECK. Boy Lives 134 Days After Accident While in Swimming. New York. Dec. 26.?To have lived 134 day? with a broken neck was the recoi ji Walter Canning, aj well developed i 5-year-old boy, who died in Broo. yn yesterday. Diving in the waters of Sheepshead bay on August 13, Canning struck bottom and the top of his spine was driven into the base of his skull. After remaining unconscious for three days an operation was performed in which the spinal cord was laid bare. The youth recovered consciousness and the use of the right side of the body. He was moved to his home apparently on the road to recovery, * anH TL'Q a out ilgillU 1U31 tuua</iuui)ui.iia uuu OWW taken back to the hospital, where he died. Christmas Play at Kearse. Kearse, Dec. 29.?A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the amateur club of eight girls in their play, "Miss Fearless & Co.," at White Point school house on Christmas night. It was said by several present that this was the best amateur play they had ever seen presented, and everybody went away feeling that they Jfed received more than their mon^s worth. This play was one given by the expression class of Columbia College last year and in which Miss Melle Kearse took a part at that time. She was very fortunate in selecting her cast of characters for this play, as each one seems especially suited for her part. These are the young ladies taking part: . Miss Ethel Kearse?Margaret Henley. Miss Melle Kearse?Bettie Cameron. Miss Evelyn Brabham?Barbara Livingston. Miss Vena Breland?Marian Rey UU1UO. Miss Cressida Breland?Euphemia Addison. Miss Edna Chitty?Sara Jane Lovejoy. Miss Pearl Breland?Katie O'Connor. Misses Alice and Aline Kearse? Alias and Alibi. Salome Brabham?Just Liz. Miss Alice Kearse being taken suddenly ill on Xmas day, her part was admirably sustained by Miss Genelle Breland. Where all were so good it is hard to specialize, and we feel sure that these young ladies could successfully entertain an audience in any city. If they appear in Bamberg, as they think of doing, in the interest of the Civic Association, they deserve a well-filled house, and we feel sure that they will provoke many a hearty laugh,' for most of the characters are rich and all good. a The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg to|day (Wednesday) for 8% cents the tpound. The total receipts here this season amount to 10,600 bales. Some farmers are holding their cotton for higher prices. Death of Mrs. Ellzey. After an illness of about four months, Mrs. Amanda J. Ellzey died at the home of her son, Mr. C. F. Ellzey, of this place, at about two Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Ell V V/AWM M v zey had been a sufferer from cancer of the stomach for some time and this was the direct cause of her death. She leaves three sons, Messrs. C. C. Ellzey, of Denmark, U. L. Ellzey, of Clio, Ga., and C. F. Ellzey, of this place, also one daughter, Mrs. Furman Smoak, of Flemington, Fla., who, with a great many other relatives and friends, mourn the loss of this good woman. The remains were interred in the family burying ground at Midway Monday afternoon in the presence of a great concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives who had come to pay their last respects. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Ellzey feel very grateful to the many friends who so kindly assisted them in many ways during their affliction, and take this means of expressing their appreciation. Wholesale Grafting. Pittsburg, Dec. 29.?About 2,000 people crowded around city hall last night when both branches of the council met. Each of the alleged grafting councilmen was in his seat when President Brant, who is under $40,000 bail, announced that he would retire from the chair until his fnnnppnrva was Droved of the charges under which he was held. Under a unanimous vote the chamber asked him to retain his chair, but he refused, saying he would retire, for the night, at least. The crowd which blocked the street outside on hearing this cheered for two minutes. It was announced early that no other arrests would be made during the evening. An attempt to arrest any of the councilmen last evening would likely have precipitated bloodshed. Another and most interesting phase of the grafting problem has been opened up here by the announcement that 20 checks, for different amounts, which had been given by the paymaster of the alleged grafting councilmen combine to members of council have been found. They are reported to be all properly onHnrspH and cashed by those in V/JUU.VA ? whose favor they had been drawn. This brings out the fact that banks in other cities have been made a party to the councilmanic bribery, for in order to cover up any big sum paid out some of the banks in the city deposit grab are accused of having arranged with their Eastern correspondent as to consign a certain large amount of money to the grafters at Pittsburg, payable at the bank in question, and the graft leader at once issued his own personal checks to his pals. It is a score of these checks that the voters league now claim to have. At still another bank the graft boss is said to have lifted the consignment of money sent him from New York by direction of the local bank and put it in a safe deposit vault, from where he paid it out in cash and in sums to suit. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered All Around the County and Elsewhere. Emhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, Dec. 28.?On Wednesday night about 7 o'clock the bell at the Ehrhardt Lutheran church rang to gather together the folks interested in the Christmas tree given for the school children of Ehrhardt graded school. The tree was a beauty, with its many candles lighted and its myriads of red berries. The tree itself was a holly, as pretty as our forests could afford. The candles and presents ! hung on for the children was a grand sight. Santa Claus was there to welcome the children and give them their gifts, after they had recited their pieces and sang their songs, led by Mrs. Fannie Copeland on the organ. The children sang well, showing that they were well trained. All seemed to enjoy the occasion well, and the children Vere all hap py and made all feel happy to see them enjoy themselves so well. Mr. Jason Fender has a dwarf lemon plant in a flower pot that has two lemons on it. One of them measures fifteen inches in circumference, the other is not so large but is very much larger than an ordinary lemon that we buy from fruit stores. The plant is blooming again while maturing its fruit is the strange feature of the plant. Talking about scales, a druggist said that his scale would show the difference of a pencil mark on a piece of paper. Another said that was nothing, that he had a scale that he could place in the sunshine and* a fly passing over, the shadow of the fly as it passed over the scale would throw it out of balance, it was so sensitive. The merchants had better get seal as of the latter make these hard times, so as to help out their profits. Don't you think so, too, Mr. Editor? Miss Ruth Kennedy, of Williston, is spending some time with Miss Elizabeth Roberts. Christmas passed off rery quietly here this year, with the exception of a few darkies getting too much booze on board and cursing on the streets, but all this was' soon quieted by our marshals, who locked them up until they could control themselves again. When the council meets on their cases there will be some gains to the treasurer's office. One darky about the Smith plantation was accidentally shot on Christmas day. The ball, a .32 calibre, struck the darky left side of lower lip, knocking out two teeth and from appearances will bother him for only a short while. When asked about the ball the darky said that he thinks he swallowed ball and teeth. Miss Leila Epps left for her home on the 24th to spend her Xmas holidays with her parents. She took with her little Janie Ramsey. rini? number of turkeys in this section died from sore neck last week, and a good many more will die of the same disease for New Year's dinners. Mr. Editor, yon know the men in this section enjoyed them very much, when one man ate so much on yesterday at a turkey dinner until his shoe bursted. Rather a funny part to be affected from eating turkey. % Several parties are changing their homes for another year. We hope that the change will be for the better. Every day a load of furniture passes through town going to their new homes. JEE. Baby Nearly Cremated. New York, Dec. 28.?A blazing curtain, wind tossed into a candle flame in a Williamsburg flat, set fire to a white coffin yesterday in which lay the body of five-year-old May OTonnor. In an adjoining room Mrs. Mary O'Connor, the dead child's mother, saw the coffin ablaze, but being an invalid, was unable to leave her bed. She screamed in terror and then lost consciousness. Edward O'Connor, the husband, assisted by her brother-in-law, finally put out the fire after being summoned from a nearby barber shop by neighbors. The child's body was saved from cremation and the invalid mother carried from the apartment. Seriously ill when the fire occurred, the shock so aggravated her condition that it is feared she cannot live. The child was buried late in the day in Calvary cemetery. ERNEST E.
