Local reading notices in The Herald are 10 cents a line each insertion. Mr. Sam Harrison is erecting a residence near the old cemetery. Several marriages are to take place in this city this month, so we understand. We had some fine rains last week, + If ofrAAf nro C torrihlv mnrMv I UUl .uaiu oum, n uo wv* . .v.j last Saturday. Really, now, don't you think Bamberg is a better town all around now than it was a year ago? The Herald office wants to buy a second hand book case. If you have ' a bargain in a book case let us know. The publication of statement of Peoples Bank was delayed on account of the illnes of Cashier Riley. We all like to brag of our ancestors, but sometimes forget to live so that our descendants can do the same thing. Strangers in town who visit The Herald Book Store and printing office always comment on what an up-to, date place we have. The Herald office received last week a lot of new type and other printing material, as well as office furniture. This makes considerable improvement in our office. Messrs. Dew and Gaffney, assistants to Mr. W. B. West, the dispensary auditor, are in the city this week checking up the accounts of the Bamberg county dispensary board. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union will hold its regular monthly meeting in the Sundayschool room of the Methodist church next Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. Messrs. W. G. Kearse and H. Z. McMillan are circulating petitions for appointment as census enumerators. They are both good men, and will no doubt each receive an appointment. We want our correspondents to write us news letters every week. The Herald wants to print the news, but we can't do it unless our friends will write us the happenings in their communities. Another shipment of those nice tailored suits at Hooton's. Mrs. J. M. Jennings and Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg will represent the ,v Bamberg auxiliary at the annual meeting of the Woman's Home Mission Society, which will be held in Sumter October 6-10. The large tank for the water works f:'-> at the oil mill has arrived and is being erected and the pipes are being laid. The tank for the city water works has been shipped and is exp\ pected here this week. Miss Pearle Delk, who has been the popular and accomodating operator at the telenhone exchange here for the past year, has resigned to accept a position at Klauber's. Miss Beulah . Grimes is now operator at the central office. There is not a vacant business house or residence in Bamberg, and has not been for months. There is never a vacant store on Main street, and when anybody does move out of a house, there is always a lot more " applications than there are houses. ' It appears that other graded , schools need to supplement the public funds, as well as Bamberg's. Col- , Teton county voted out the dispensary } rn the recent election, and the school at Walterboro will charge an incidental or contingent fee of $2.00 a session. The oil mill started up last ^Monday morning for the season's run. The new machinery was started up ( last week, and everything works nicely. The capacity of the mill here has been increased to forty tons a f- . day, and the Denmark plant to thirty tons a day. Mesdames John Jennings, Henry Bamberg, H. J. Brabham, Sr., Alice Xeigler (alternate) and Bessie Lee Black will represent the Bamberg Womans Christian Temperance Union at the State convention which con- 1 venes in Columbia the first week in 1 Ik* October. j ' Last Thursday and Friday were ; holidays with the Israelites, and in ! consequence there was a reunion of J Mr. S. W. Pearlstin's family in this ' city. His son, Louis, was here from ' Jacksonville, Fla., as were the family of Mr. H. Karesh, of Ehrhardt, and Mr. J. W. Pearlstin, of Olar. Just received a complete line of silks for suits and waists in the new shades. E. A. HOOTON. Will not each merchant in town 1 sweep before his door each Saturday night after business is over and thus have the sidewalks on Main 1 street to present a neat appearance Sunday morning? This would help 1 the looks of things very much, and we hope every merchant on Main ; street will do this next Saturday Tlifi'ht and kppn it nn A complete line of suit patterns ' for tailored suits at Hooton's. Mrs. John R. Bellinger moved to Augusta last week, where she will live in future, making her home with her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Faulkner. Her many friends regret to see leave Bamberg. Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner 1 have recently bought a handsome home on Greene street in Augusta. Mrs. Bellinger's residence here will be occupied by Mr. Paul Arndt and family. Buttons made at Hooton's, 15c and 25c per dozen, to match any suit. The farmers in this section who sold cotton last summer for delivery in September and October are somewhat sick. One old negro told us a few days ago that he would be ruined by selling ahead, and he said he wanted "yunner to help him get out of it." We told him we could not help him out. That the ouly thing for him was to know better than to sell next time. However, we don't see how contracts of this character would hold. The large tank for the city water works has arrived, and the work of erection will be begun as soon as possible. Mr. A. J. A. Perritt, State president of the Farmers' Union, and Mr. E. W. Dabbs, vice president, will be present at the meeting of the Bamberg county union, to be held in the court house here on Thursday, the 30th of September, and will both make speeches. The public is cordially invited to attend. Last Wednesday night a Pythian rally was held at Jenny's in Barnwell county. District Deputy Grand Chancellor H. E. Gyles, of Aiken, made an address. The rally was joined in by the lodges at Ehrhardt, Brunson and Fairfax. Mr. Gyles will go in a few days to Kline, S. C., to institute a new Knights of Pythias lodee. New Advertisements.

It will be noticed that the market is on the rise, the storms in the South-west no doubt affecting the price. The receipts here for the season are more than 4,000 bales. Exciting Chase After Negro. Wednesday afternoon of last week Chief of Police S. A. Hand had a hot chase after some negroes, but he succeeded in capturing all three. The negroes were Lewis Witherspoon, Blaine Smith, and Baby Jones. The chief had them under suspicion for a A arvonf 111 a n 4 <y V* f Udj Ui i\>u, auu uau o^ut iuv ui^uv before at Denmark on the case. Wednesday afternoon he located them in the bay up near the culvert, above town, where no doubt they were gambling, and while they got wind of his approach and took leg bail, he kept after them, and on foot ran them for about three miles or more and captured them over near Binnaker's bridge on the Charleston & Augusta public road. He was given much assistance in the capture by Jacob Grant, a negro who lives in that community. Grant took his mule out of the plow and getting on the animal, gave chase to the fugitives, and held them up with shot gun while the chief was armed with his pistol. It was a long chase and a hard one, but the chief never let up and turned back, although he got mighty tired. They were all tried Friday before Acting Mayor J. D. Copeland, Jr. Witherspoon had several charges against him: drunk and disorderly, fighting, vagrancy, etc., and was given a total of 120 days or $150. He took the days and is now on the county chain gang. Smith and Jones were given $5.00 each and they paid up. Witherspoon is strongly suspected of being in the crowd which robbed the hardware store of J. A. Hunter, and he will be tried on this charge when his present sentences expire. Chief Hand has been diligently at work on this case, and has some strong evidence as to the guilty parties, and he will no doubt land them. The mayor's court has been right busy the past week. Mintzer Moye, a negro, was given a fine of $10.00 for being drunk and disorderly and fighting. He paid up. Wash Abels was also fined $10.00 on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. He paid up as well. Monday Frank Pew, Jr., was taken up on Main street. His was just a plain drunk, so his fine was $5.00, which was paid. Epworth League Meeting. The subject at the Epworth League Tuesday night, September 28th, will be Prayer. The following young people will take part in the program: Misses Lucille Folk, Pearle Delk, Bessie Armstrong, Myra Hooton, Bessie Lee Black, Franke Folk, Kate Hayden, Annie Lou Byrd, and Rev. Jno. W. Simpson. All are invited to some and spend the hour with us. V. W. BRABHAM, EULA ROWELL, President. First Vice-President. luwu nuecuon ai j>enmarK. Denmark, September 20.?The resent municipal election in this town resulted as follows: Intendant, James A. Walker; wardens, J. R. Owens, G. W. Hightower, C. H. Bamberg, R. H. Gillam. Mr. Gillam was subsequently elected clerk of council, therefore he resigned as warden and another election will be held on September 22 to fill the vacancy. The gentlemen elected are all substantial citizens and a progressive administration is promised this thriving town. Ben Wyman an Alderman. At the Barnwell municipal election on Tuesday the following officers were chosen for the next twelve months: Intendant, J. A. Willis. Wardens: Dr. R. C. Kirkland, I Ben Wyman, C. C. Owens, W. V. Richardson.?Barnwell People. The Route to Charleston. The chances for the building of a railroad from Olar to Charleston look good to us. The new and wonderful Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio railroad will be running trains next month from its vast Virginia coal fields. To do a full business they must reach a seaport, and Charleston will be the end of the road. The C., C. & O. people are largely interested in the Seaboard and our prophecy is that they will pull together.? Barnwell People. The Civic League. A meeting of the executive committee of the Civic League was held at the residence of Mrs. W. P. Jones last Tuesday afternoon. Firey speeches condemnig the weed-grown streets and private lots, eloquent appeals for public officials to enforce the laws, and plans for the fall work were made. There is indeed room for these denunciations. It is truly discouraging to walk down Main street and view the handsome stores with their lovely display of fall goods in the show windows and then turn and see the piles of paper and other debris in the streets in front of these buildings. Just to watch the crowd of men as they come after each train from the post office gives one an insight into the true nature of each man. Some carefully remove the wraDDer from their reading mat ter and deposit the same in the waste basket ere leaving the office, or wait until their places of business are reached and then burn the waste paper; while others, careless and indifferent, open letters casting the envelopes into the street, add their circulars, not knowing or caring whither they will be blown. When a heavy gust of wind from the South rises, most of these papers are carried and left upon the court house square, a place which, it seems, that every man would join forces with the ladies and help to keep clean and beautiful. It is the spot upon which the stranger's eye rests longest when passing through by rail, or driving through the town, and a building used for various purposes, when crowds take note of the surroundings. But the ladies are not discouraged and hope soon to awaken the civic pride in every resident of Bamberg. Let those who knock the place on all occasions and refuse to be aroused for its advancement, move elsewhere. Doubtless they can find a place to suit them better, and Bamberg wants only loyal citizens. In the near future it is probable that a Tour of the World will be held by the members of the League. This will be fully discussed at the next meeting, which will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at half-past f in A tt ttnll T LV/UI V vivvn ILL tuc KslLJ nail. liCl every member feel this a personal invitation for herself?and bring at least one new member. The Fitting School. It is a pity that our Bamberg school is in a bad way. A thriving town, fine water, excellent building, a good record, and yet prospects for a commendable fall opening the most discouraging. What was the matter with Hopkins? I believe that is the name of the gentleman who was elected, and promised, and absconded. Did a certain fear seize the man that made him flee? I hope the trustees will have the grit to stand by the old school and hoist her colors high upon her ramparts again.?E. A. Wilkes in Southern Christian Advocate. Will Come Off Bond. Mr. M. C. Edwins, who is now on the bond of Dr. Brown for his appearance at court for selling whiskey, has notified the doctor that on Saturday he will come off his bond. It seems as if Brown has a great deal of trouble keeping his bondsmen, but he says he will have some one else to relieve Mr. Edwins on Saturday. Dr. Brown has paid his $100 fine, but the case from the Or angeburg city council decided against him by the circuit court has been appealed to the State Supreme court.? Orangeburg Evening News. Powers-Ott. A marriage of marked interest in the social circles in Columbia was that of Miss Margaret Tennant Powers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Powers, to Mr. Thomas Oliver Ott, Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents. In the reception room, which was gracefully decorated with ferns and luxuriant palms, the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Kirkman G. Finlay, in the presence of the members of the two families and a few intimate friends. The bride was charmingly gowned in a tailored suit of soft smoke color, which was worn with a becoming black moire hat, with garnishings of jet. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Ott left in a touring car for Columbus, Ga., where Mr. Ott has a position with the F. H. Lummus Sons Co., a large machinery firm. They will visit a number of friends in South Carolina towns and expect to spend a week in Atlanta before going to their new home in Columbus. As one of the most attractive members of the young set the bride is well known here in Columbia, and her winsome charm of manner and gracious personality have won for her a wide circle of friends. Mr. Ott, who has for a number of years been connected with the Gibbes Machinery company, is also well known in social as well as business circles and has a number of friends in different parts of this State and in Georgia.?Columbia Record. Negro Boy Indicted. Lexington, Sept. 20.?The grand jury this afternoon promptly returned a true bill in the case of Jesse Coleman, a 14-year-old negro boy, for assault with criminal intent. This is the boy, who, it is alleged, entered the bed room of a farmer in the Dutch Fork a few weeks ago and attempted an assault upon his wife. The hoy stated at the time that the woman gave him the most severe whipping he had ever had. The case will be called in the next few days, it is said. Negro Kills Wife. Chester, Sept. 20.?Near Cornwell station, this county, at an early hour this morning Jonas Davis, colored, shot and almost instantly killed his wife. Domestic infelicity is given as the cause of the horrible affair. Deputy Sheriff W. G. Dye left at once for the scene and expects to bring in the murderer. The coroner was likewise informed and has gone to hold an inquest. CAPTURE GEORGLA LUNATIC. Police Catch Dunnington After Two Month's Chase. Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 19.?Hunted by the police authorities of Augusta and Atlanta for tv. o months, R. E. Dunnington, the alleged dangerous lunatic who terrorized a surburb of Augusta the latter part of June, when he barricaded himself in a house and for several days defied a whole squad of heavily armed officers, wounding one deputy and finally escaping, is behind prison bars in Atlanta tonight charged with assault and battery with intent to murder. Dunnington was arrested at 5 o'clock this afternoon at a hotel near the Terminal station, where he was registered under his own nam9. He offered no resistance when the officers cautiously approached him. At tho nnllcp ntatinn hp said hp mnld establish his innocence of the charge against him of assaulting W. C. Massey in the latter's office Saturday. Dunnington had been employed as an office assistant by Massey for two weeks. He says there was a dispute about his wages and Massey attacked him, whereupon he defended himself. Massey was stabbed several times with a steel paper punch. Dunnington admitted that he was the man who paid the myterious visit the man who paid the mysterious visit the adjournment of the legislature, saying he had intended asking the governor as to what progress had been made in the investigation of the charges against the State Hospital for the Insane at Milledgeville, where Dunnington himself was confined for 15 months. Dunnington made the first written charges against the treatment of patients at the institution, which is now undergoing a rigid investigation at the hands of a legislative committee. Dunnington stated that he came to Atlanta immediately upon escaping from the Augusta officers and has worked at a half dozen different establishments here, in each and every case, using his own name. Train Robbers Foiled. Leadville, Col., Sept. 17.?Sheriff Campbell and a posse are to-day in hot pursuit of five men who late last night held up and tried to rob an express train on the Denver & Rio Grande Railway near Melta. The bandits dynamited the express car after climbing into the engine ana rorcing tne engineer ana nreman to leave the cab at the revolver's point. Unable to force the express safe, they escaped without any booty. It was learned to-day that there were three men in the gang. They are supposed to be in the mountains and every pass believed to be available for the escape of the bandits is being searched. Fleet Ends Fall Practice. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 19.?The Atlantic fleet tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock will weigh anchor and follow the flagship Connecticut out of the Virginia Capes and steam to New York after eight weeks of strenuous night drills, battle and target practice. The Mexican gunboat Morelos, with a special representative of President Diaz on board, will sail early tomorrow morning. The fleet will arrive at New York early Tuesday morning. During the festivities in New York Slosburg of the New Jersey, heavyweight champion of the American navy, will box the champion of the English navy, who is now en route to America with the snecial sauadron sent over by the British government. The men in the fleet are heavily backing the American, offering big odds. Heavy Damage at Biloxi. Biloxi, Miss., Sept. 20.?The storm which has been raging in the Gulf of Mexico struck this city at 3 o'clock this morning with the wind blowing 40 miles an hour, continuing to increase in velocity till it reached 60 miles an hour at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The high tide and the wind have wrought immense damage to property in this immediate vicinity. Between Beau voir and Debuys, 500 feet of the track of the Gulf Coast Traction company is washed away and another 100 feet is gone near the soldier's home and to the eastward of Gulfport another 150 feet was washed away. All the bath houses and piers along the beach from Gulfport to the home of United States Senator Money, a distance of four miles, have been swept away. Three hundred feet of the electric car line at Long Beach, Miss., has been washed out. The schooner Ruby and a wharf recently built by W. W. Lampton were wrecked. No train has reached here from the Ncrth and all telegraph wires are down. No loss of life is reported. Wasting Forestry Resources. Washington, Sept. 19.?A startling situation has developed as the result of taking of stock of the forestry resources of this country, according to Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., expert in the bureau of forestry. It was shown, Mr. Cleveland declares, that the country is taking from the forests every year three and a half times as much wood as is added by the new growth; that less than one-third of the growing tree felled by the lumberman is ever used at all, so that two-thirds of all the timber cut is simply destroyed. It has shown that one-eleventh of all the forests is swept by fires every year, and that on the average since 1870 forest fires have yearly cost $50,000,000 in timber and 50 lives. It has shown, Mr. Cleveland continues, that over 99 per cent, of the forests in private hands?which comprise three-fourths of all the forest land and four-fifth of all the wood? is devastated by destructive use and the sweep of the unchecked fires. while less than 1 per cent, is properly handled for successive crops or effectively protected from fires. Governor John A . Johnson, governor of the State of Minnesota, died at Rochester, Minn., Tuesday, following an illness, during which he was operated on. i k SENSATIONAL CASE IN SALUDA. 1 Young Man Attempting to Hare His ! Marriage Annulled. Doubtless one of the most sensational cases ever threshed out in Sa- ] luda court house was up before ref- t eree court Tuesday and Wednesday. ( It is a case involving two of the most j prominent families in the county. i In October of last year Mr. Julian * Werts was married to Miss Fay Trot- ] ter. They lived together as man and wife until the first of February this | year, when they separated. Mr. ] Werts is endeavoring to have the r marriage annulled and Mrs. Foy 4 Trotter Werts is fighting the an- \ nulment proceedings. 1 Mr. Werts is a very intelligent, j hard working young man, and the de- < fendant one of the prettiest women t in the county. i There is much interest in the pro- i ceedings, and morbid curiosity ex- ] hibited. < We see absolutely no good to be j gained by either side, and the naked < truths nece'ssarily divulged are not j calculated to do anybody any good.? Saluda Standard. < ?? ( Girl Returns Home. < Washington, Sept. 21.?A pathetic scene marked the meeting at police headquarters here yesterday of Miss Carolyn M. Salley, nineteen years of age, and her father, Dr. O. B. Salley, of Augusta, when the latter arrived here for the purpose of taking his daughter home. Miss Salley was arrested yesterday at the union station by Detectives Cox and Berman, on a charge of being a fugitive from her parents' home. One hour later the two detectives also took Miss Mary Bean into custody. Miss Salley told Capt Boardman, chief of detectives, that she was accompanying Miss Bean to Boston to complete her education. The father was informed of the detention of the couple here and arrived in Washington yesterday. Accompanied by his daughter he returned yesterday afternoon. Miss Bean was allowed to depart and left police headquarters for her hotel. Dr. Salley says Miss Bean was a : teacher at the college which his daughter attended, and became a ] close friend. Later she visited Miss ; Salley at her home. The father stated that owing to the manner of the teacher toward his daughter, his < wife had ordered her to leave the ] house. Upon seeing her father Miss Salley embraced him affectionately and declared she wanted to return to her home. Miss Bean also called at police headquarters and Dr. Salley declares she asked permission to correspond with his daughter, which he refused. "If that woman ever puts her foot on Georgia soil," the doctor de- 5 clared, "I will have her arrested for * dUUUtUUU. White Men Warned. ! < Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 17.?Pla- j carding the neighborhood with warnings that unless the three white men who located in the strictly negro town of Taft, Okla., last week left town immediately death would be their punishment, the negroes last night dynamited the store of one of the whites. The white merchants de- < clare they will remain. Further j trouble is expected. SAFETY ON RAILROADS. 1 < Splendid Casualty Record of the ] United Kingdom. 1 During the year 1908 not one pass- < enger was killed or injured on Brit- ( ish railroads. In England, Scotland, i Wales and Ireland travel has become < so safe that an accident of any kind is startlingly unusual, says The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The remarkable record of a year without the slight- < est injury to any passenger is cer- < tainly one of which the British rail- \ roaders may feel justly proud. After contemplation of such a report the natural inclination is to ] make an unfavorable comparison of me unnea stares or America, ine j current year has not been marked by by many disastrous wrecks, but the. { two or threee years preceding were < periods of destruction not equaled < in the history of American railroad- 3 ing. In 1908 official reports show that 610 passengers were killed. The death list, including passengers and all others, totaled over 11,000, while the total of injured was over 111,000. i Of coure, the vastly greater mileage of American railway is in large regree accountable for the tremen- < dous difference between the British 1 and American figures, but even this * does not suffice to explain everything, t America has gone speed mad, and the 1 railroads are affected and afflicted. A Compliment to Smith. John Smith had worked for the corporation for forty-two years and decided to quit, says an exchange. < The company, in consideration of his long and faithful service, arranged to give him a monetary recognition. Tho QiinorintanHcnt nf tVio nrnrta a German and an extra good mechanic, . was asked to present it. He was advised to use a little sentiment in making the presentation speech, and this is the way he did it: "John, you haff worked for the company over forty years?" "Yes." "You are going to quit?" "Yes." "Veil! They are so tarn glad of it that they asked me to hand you this hundred dollars." Every community is divided into workers and shirkers, hopers and mopers. The workers toil on cheerily, daily contributing to the prosperity of the place and full of hope and plans for its future. The shirkers hang back, contribute nothing to its welfare, criticise those who do, and talk despondently of things in general. Strange as it may seem it is easier to be a worker than a shirker and certainly it is a good deal better all round. Then, also, there is the satisfaction of knowing that one's life amounts to something. Therefore, don't shirk, work; don't mope, hope. i ' .gar* t V FRANCHISE CAMPAIGN OPENED. Maryland Democrats Seeking to Restrict Negro Votes. Baltimore, Sept. 16.?The cam- 4 paign on the question of the adop:ion of an amendment to the State constitution, which is designed to disfranchise a large number of negro voters, was formally opened tonight it a democratic mass meeting at the Lyric. ) National interest has been aroused Pecause of the denunciation of the proposed amendment by President raft, who has characterized it as a 'violation of the spirit of the flf:eenth amendment," and because of :he declaration by republican leaders n the State that the supreme court . >f the United States will be asked * :o pass upon its validity should it be idopted at the election next NovemDer. The supreme court has never passed upon so-called "grandfather ilauses" which is embodied in the im ndment, and which has had the /\# Ala aV n Oori*A/vi In rixcvc ui uioii auvuiomg IU several of the Southern States. Addresses In favor of the adoption >f the amendment were delivered by Governor A. L. Crothers and United States Senator Isador Raynor. Disastrous Forest Fires. Wallase, Idaho, Sept. 18.?Four lisasterous forest fires, two supposed to have been of incendiary origin, ire raging in the Coeur d'Alene aational forest reserve. One homestead has been destroyed by the lames and another is threatened. The entire available force of forest employes has been called to the scene of the four fires. One fire is near the town of Murray, another on the North Fork, a third at Old Mis- i. jion%and the fourth near Enaville. The fires are reported to have sained considerable headway and much valuable timber is in danger -it of destruction: ? Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the Arctic explorer, arrived in New York Tuesday, and was given a tremendous ovation. He would say nothing as to the controversy over discovering the Pole until the arrival of Commander } :/& Peary, who disputes Coqk's claim of discovery. ? Vtf ======== TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
