"The Bamberg Banking Company will be closed next Saturday, January 1st, on account of holiday. Jones Bros, will receive two car loads of horses and mules soon. Wait until they come before you buy. Mr. J. R. Kinard and family have moved from Bamberg to Lodge, where Mr. Kinard will farm this year. Stock taking is in order among the merchants of Bamberg this week. They want to see how they stand after the year's business. Lots of the boys and girls who have been off attending college, teaching school, etc., are at home for the holidays, and the town is full of young people. Mr. W. P. Jones is now in the West buying two car loads of horses and mules tor Jones eros. may wm <*irive soon. Don't buy until you see these two loads. Many of the weekly newspapers of the State will not issue a paper this week, and some of the semi-weeklies will skip an issue, but The Herald comes out as usual. G. Frank Bamberg received another car load of horses and mules this week. He has what you warn,, > and prices and terms are right. See tr , him before you buy. PThe house occupied by Mary Carroll, a colored woman who cooks at the Denmark hotel, was destroyed by fire in that town Thursday night of last week. She lost all of her effects. Town taxes are now due and payable. The levy is twelve mills, the highest in the history of the town, > .but if property was returned at its full value our levy need not exceed three mills. Major Havelock Eaves, of Bamberg, has accepted a position with the Orange cotton mills of this city. He will buy cotton and be the sales agent of the mill. Within the next few weeks he will move his family r to this city.?Orangeburg Evening News. ' Christmas passed off quietly in Bamberg. There was a lot of noise, and considerable money was spent | t for fireworks, but there was little " drunkenness that we noticed. There gj?-"- was a very large crowd in town last Friday, and the merchants report a Rgv large holiday trade. li^,;;,--The editor of The Bamberg Herald '* - ^ ? -4-V^v -rrrYi i OnfUloH Q < urew lliv uuluuci nui^u &utn.ivu u lady to a silk dress at E.

Some real estate is to be sold by the Master, these being resales. The land was sold the first Monday in December, but as the purchasers have not com; * plied, the tracts will be resold next Monday, at the risk of che former k purchasers. SLTrr Several from Bamberg attended the Masonic supper at Denmark Wednesday night of last week. The afgT1 fair was a very enjoyable one, and K'-'" Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Owens, of the Denmark hotel, who furnished the supper, received many congratula3$*-'j. tions from those present on the magnificence of the banquet. r The following invitations were is'0? sued last week: "Mr. and Mrs. C..F. Rizer will give in marriage their j ( daughter, Lucile. to Dr. Leighton Ar- j thur Eartzog, Tuesday evening, j figfe " January the fourth, one thousand [ nine hundred and ten. at eight-thirty | - o'clock, Olar Methodist church, Clar, South Carolina. The honour o: vour "7,^- ^presence is requested." The Bamberg Herald is issued under many difficulties this week, in i fact at one time we felt that we j would not issue at all. The cotton i r mill shut down from Wednesday of I last week until Wednesday of this * week, thus giving us no power for a ' week, and this in connection with \ the Christmas holidays, made it hard work to issue even a four page paper. The commercial department of the Earn berg graded school has only had one pupil this fall. No doubt the trustees will not elect a teacher to take the place of Mrs. Richardson, (Gordon) but continue until June with the present teaching force, which we have no doubt is quite sufficient to train carefully every pupil in the school without overworking any of the teachers. The Herald Book Store desires to thank its many customers for their j liberal patronage during the past | year. Our business is growing con- j stantlv, and our holiday trade was much better than we expected. We are trying to build up in Bamberg a business which all will admit is j needed, and all we need is the support and patronage of our people. And we can truthfully say that fewtowns in the State or elsewhere, the size of Bamberg, can boast of a book store anything like ours. School Teacher Married. Miss Carrie Gordon, one of the teachers in the Bamberg graded school, was married last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, in this city, to Mr. W. M. Richardson, of Orangeburg. The marriage was a very quiet affair, only a few persons be- j ing present. Rev. T. G. Herbert, I pastor of Trinity Methodist church, was the officiating minister. Shortly after the ceremony the young couple left in an automobile for Orangeburg, their future home. The marriage was a great surprise to everybody in Bamberg. The Voting Contests. The voting contests for the handsome doll and the tool chest, which have been going on at The Herald n: Book Store, closed last Friday night ai at ten o'clock. Considerable inter- o est was taken in the contests, and the voting was right lively, although h many customers did not vote for any p, one. Little Miss Louise Kilgus, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kil-i ai gus, won the doll, and little Kenrv ! p Frederick Bamberg. Jr., only son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg, got e1 the tool chest. The children generally are interested in these contests, a: and while the scheme is not merely a money-making one. it gives us ai pleasure to know that we make the winners glad at Christmas. We will tl therefore continue the custom, and next Christmas our prizes will be handsomer than ever.. ? The final vote stood as follows: u FOR THE DOLL. b!

Is there a wounded conscience am ecause we have dishonored the icred name connected with the day . i the far too common revelries and mi idulgencies of these occasions? Ba ave our hearts been stirred with im mewed gratitude to God for his ^oi nspeakable gift that gave a new ilish for worship on last Sunday? r have our thoughts been more of we irselves, relations and friends? vie he congregations last Sunday would ^ idicate a large percentage of the _ ,tter. The pastor's subject Sunday morn- an< ig was: "The Sunset of a Great ba< hristian Life and Career." It was fitting close of our studies in the fe and Epistles of the Apostle Paul. . At night his theme was, "The Sun- P*8 se of the Greatest j-ife that has att rer dawned on the world." This rU! as looking forward toward the * inday-school studies for next year. On account of the smallness of the mgregatioins last Sunday, the roi hristmas offering for the old 0f eachers was deferred until next inday. Hope all will bear in mind id govern themeselves occordingly. sb< i I wo Denmark Doings. I g^a Denmark, Dec. 23.?Denmark fift dge, A. F.

We must add something to ,ese soils. To add commercial ferlizers to soils so deficient in humus anC so poorly prepared that they will )t hold sufficient water to dissolve e plant food so the crops can take up, is never the most profitable. ^ id frequently means actual financial 5S. For building up these old fields, T)or e first need is stable manure, to ^ pply the means of maintaining that irm lite which is essential to a fer- iJ rr,^ r , SUU e soil. The growing of legumes . ust always be given second place, llsss conditions are such that they / sta1 ust be used as a substitute for, not ther than a supplementary to. sta- ^ e manure. Commercial fertilizers ould be used not only to enable us grow better legume crops, but also j supplement the plant foods fur- ia j shed by the legumes, for the grow- hjn g of larger yields of staple crops yea ch as corn and cotton. On most Southern soils all these fjv urces of supplying plant foods to fac e old fields should be used, but in cra is review of the subject we can cou ily call attention, to the article jan 3. 5, February 6, and No. 49, De- onc mber 9, 1909.?Progressive Farmer anc onc The Season's Lesson. yoi The sun does not shine for a few pea ees and flowers, but for the wide an(grid's joy.

Hurley, Va., Dec. 26.?Following 3 killing here on Christmas Eve of muel Baker and the serious woundl of his wife and two children by i former's enemy, Henry Penning1, a mob of one hundred citizens e last night took Pennington from improvised jail, where he had sn incarcerated under heavy guard, d hanged him to a steam pipe. Pennington, who had teen drinkpicked a quarrel with Baker and 3t him while the latter was on his ,y to a Sunday-school Christmas :e with his wife, his two children d a friend, Wyatt Meadows. See; that he had killed Baker, Penlgton started to run away. Mrs. ker called after Pennington and plored him to help her take the ay home. The ruse worked and Pennington nt back to the spot where his tim lay aeaa. Bent upon aveng; the dead, Mrs. Baker grabbed nnington's pistol from his pocket 3 shot twice at him. Her aim was 3, but she succeeded in wounding n in the hand and thigh. PenLgton recovered possession of the tol and then shot the woman and empted to kill Meadows, who was ming away, it is alleged, and the o children. Pennington then fled, but was surinded by a posse on the outskirts the town later in the night. He s captured after an exchange of )ts with the officers, who badly unded him. Being too weak to nd the journey to the Grundy jail, ;een miles distant, over mountain3 country, Pennington was locked in the constable's house, but :>ut 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon was thought advisable to remove n to a boarding house, where he s put under a strong guard. Feeling against Pennington ran jh, and many covert threats of iching were heard during the day. st midnight a band of about one ndred citizens was quietly organd, the guard was overpowered and nnington was taken to the engine >m of a lumber mill, nearby, and aged to a steam pipe. The body s riddled with bullets, and was in left hanging until 9 o'clock this rning, when it was cut down. Baker's funeral was held to-day, t his wife was too badly wounded attend. Baker was a son-in-law "Aunt Betty" Justice, and a brothin-law of George Meadows, two the victims of the famous sextuple :rder here several months ago, for ich Howard Little has been sent:ed to die in the electric chair on luary 6. Prisoner May Resent Whipping. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 22.?The old ave" law which prohibited a slave m striking or attacking his master thedatter's foreman to defend himf from a whipping, is of no effect Georgia to-day according to a deion handed down here to-day by t State supreme court in the case a convict who killed a fellow pris*r. Cleveland Westbrook, colored, ier sentence of death for killing >ther negro, who was assisting the rden of a convict camp, of which h negroes were inmates, in adlistering a whipping to West?ok. is granted a new trial. The supreme court holds that coral punishment of a convict uncircumstances not of a character ficient to authorize it, is an aslt which implies the right of dese. If the jury decides that the ipping of Westbrook in the innce was unlawful, the negro can be convicted of a greater crime n voluntary manslaghter. Fertilizer Crazy. ^ farmer writes to me for a formuto make a fertilizer that will give i 3S to 40 bushels of corn next ?> iinH thot ho oovc is run vn so that it will not make over s bushels. Now, this shows the t that our farmers are fertilizer zy. There is no formula that Id be devised that would make d that poor yield a fair crop all at :e. It did not get poor all at once, I it is not going to get rich all at :e, no matter how much fertilizer i waste on it. Better put it in .s and let them die on the land 1 turn them under and sow rye 1 turn that under in the spring I then with a fair application of isphoric acid and potash the land I make more corn. Then by sowpeas among it and following with iter oats, and the oats with peas, i may gradually get the wasted mus back into the soil; and by lowing a good rotation ol crops h plenty of peas and crimson ver, you may finally get heavy ps. ro maintain and increase the pro:tivity of our soil we must use .ins and continuous and wise eft and no spasmodic application of tilizers is going to do the work us.?Progressive Farmer. \.n error certainly acknowledged a victory won.?Cascogen. 0\ 10=301 lOgv f pNo. 326?11 < , Is the lucky winner of the Gold , F| Watch we gave away for a H Christmas present and the holder I \ of same lucky number is Miss I ) Carolina Cave, a teacher in the J Ehrhardt Graded School.
