The Bamberg Herald's job printing department has just finished printing the largest brief for the Supreme Court ever printed in this part of the country. It contains 340 pages of printed matter, and handling a job of this size is impossible to a country office without a linotype. The brief was printed for Hon. S. G. Mayfield, in the case of Still et al vs. Wood et ai, an appealed case irom Barnwell county. Just received at Klauber's, twentyfive sample coat suits. They were bought at a big discount, and will be sold accordingly. You had better hurry. The cotton mill here is running on short time for the present, being closed down Friday and Saturday of each week. It is understood that this is only temporary, and that the mill will run on full time as soon as some necessary repairs are made. This arrangement plays the mischief with The Herald, as we have to run our linotype Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in order to make up for the loss of Thursday and Friday. u Big line of sample coat suits in at Klauber's. See them. Work will soon commence on the remodeling of Dr. J. J. Cleckley's residence. Cotton can be kept at thirteen cents if the farmers will just decline to sell it for less. Dr. J. J.

You will certainly make a mistake if you buy a buggy or set of harness without seeing G. Frank Bamberg's line. He has competition beat a mile. Jones Bros, received a few days ago a car load of horses and mules, the first car of the season for Bamberg. Our paper is unavoidably late this week, but it could not be helped. The cotton mill shut down Tuesday night without notice to us, and we could not obtain power Wednesday to print the paper or run our linotype. We therefore had to get out as best we could, by using power from the city plant at night. You should give your husband a cut glass vase on his birthday. Get it at Simmons Hardware Co.'s and save money. The Woman's unristian Temperance Union will meet next Tuesday afternoon, October 26th, in the Baptist church.

Negro Gamblers Arrested. Monday night of this week policeman C. C. Rowell went out in Varnville to the house of L. B. Davis, and rounded up a gang of nine negroes who were gambling. The parties arrested were: Moses Frederick, Willie Frederick, Willie Jones, Elliott Jones, Hobsie Wright, Boisie Pinckney, Joe Whitmore, Philip Price, and L. B. Davis. They were all put in the guard house, but were soon released on bond. They were tried before Mayor Wyman Tuesday morning. All plead guilty, and were let off with a fine of $5 each. All paid up, and the city council treasury is $45 better off. Marriage Near Ehrhardt. Mr. R. F. McMillan, of Bamberg, and Miss Jassie McMillan, of Ehrhardt, were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper McMillan, Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. The bride wore a soft white gown trimmed with "baby Irish," and had rose buds in her hair. After Monday Mr. and Mrs. McMillan will be at home to their friends at the home of Mrs. Beach, Carlisle and Elm streets, Bamberg, S. C. A GUEST. Buys Home in Spartanburg. Mr. John H. Cope, president of the Bamberg cotton mills, and one of the most prominent and progressive citizens of Bamberg, has bought a handsome home in Spartanburg, and his family will move there next week. However, Mr. Cope himself will remain here for a year or so longer and devote his time to his interests in and near this city. That he will eventually move to SDartanburg is deeply regretted by his many friends here, for no citizen of the town is more popular or patriotic and progressive than Mr. Cope. He is one of our leading men in business and church circles, and his removal from Bamberg will be a distinct loss to this community. Hurt at Oil Mill. Kelly Williams, a negro, had a narrow escape from death while at work at the oil mill Monday morning of this week, and as it was he was painfully hurt. The heater had become somewhat choked, and Williams took an iron rod to unchoke it, and the mixing knives of the heater struck the rod when he pushed it in too far, causing the rod to strike him on the side of the head and knock him off a block he was standing on and against an iron column. His jaw bone was broken by the blow and several of his teeth knocked out, and he was also cut on the head. He is getting along all right. His wounds are the result of his own carelessness, and no doubt he will be more careful next time.

One of the most delightful social affairs of the season was given on Monday afternoon by Mrs. G. Moye Dickinson when she entertained with a linen shower, complimentary to her sister, Miss Sadie Johnson. After being greeted by the hostess at the door, the guests were served delicious fruit punch in the hall by Mesdames Klauber and Hoover. As each group of ladies arrived their attention was drawn to an adjoining room/ by the repeated superlatives and exclamations of delight, they determined to investigate, entered and joined their voices to the admiring throng. Here soon all were collected and the many exquisite pieces of hand-made linen were exhibited, after which all repaired to the sitting room and entered with great zeal ' 1 - - ?? ? ? ffiiaooinor crcj m P into a gcugiapuiMi & us-sointj quu... So many were successful until it was found necessary to cut for the prize, a handsome cut glass dish, which finally fell to Miss Mozelle Copeland and which she gracefully presented to the fair honoree.

A quiet but pretty wedding took place at the Johnson Hotel in this city Tuesday morning of this week, when Miss Sadie Johnson became the bride of Mr. L. A. Trent, of Leakville, N. C. Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, was the officiating minister. As stated the marriage was a very quiet one, only the immediate relatives of the bride being present. Mr. and Mrs. Trent left on the 9:30 train, soon after the ceremony, for Leakville, N. C., the home of the groom. The bride is the youngest daughter of the late S. W. Johnson, and is a young woman who has always been extremely popular among a large circle of friends, in this, the home of her birth, who regret very much that she is to make her tuture home elsewhere than in Bamberg. The groom is a prominent business man of his town, being book-keeper for a wholesale grocery firm. The Herald extends congratulations to this young couple who starts life so auspiciously. Lisbon Irons, a negro, was arrested last Saturday, the charge being drunk and disorderly and cursing on the streets. He gave bond of $10, which he forfeited, not appearing for trial. i Many ur Back and you want youi well from that poii any other.

The prisoners were brought here last night by Sheriff Hancock, after the coroner's jury at Newport had returned a verdict that Mayor Newberry's death* resulted from gunshot wounds inflicted by S. J. Sanders and that his brother was also implicated in the shooting. The assassination of Mayor Newberry was the direct outcome, it is said, of the prosecution of "blind tiger" cases. Great excitement prevailed in Newport after the tragedy occurred. The dead man's wife was ill in bed at the time of the murder and his little daughter stood by his side when he was shot.
