?he Bamberg Brralh Thursday, April 4,1912. _______ I SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. The board of county commissioners were in sesison here last Monday but only routine business was transacted, the approving of claims, etc. See the advertisement of the Ford / Sales Company in this issue and write for catalogue and prices. They carry cars in stock and are selling them, too. A friend writes us: "The Herald is a welcomed visitor in our home. We subscribe to three county papers, but The Herald is decidedly the best of them." We trust the ladies of the Civic League will name a clean-up day for Bamberg this spring. Last year's clean-up day was a great success, and it should be repeated this year. There was one public sale here Monday, by Master H. C. Folk, of a "house and lot in the town of Denmark, in the case of Wiggins vs. Kirkland. It was bought by J. A. Wiggins for $850.00. Next Sunday is Easter, and as usual the Methodist church will be decorated for the occasion. There will no doubt be special music and Pastor Hodges will preach a sermon appropriate to the occasion. The insurance commissioner has turned over to the State treasurer for distribution the one per cent, fire department fund collected from fire insurance companies doing business in the towns of the State. Bamberg gets from this fund $112.59, which will be used for better equipping the fire department of the city. See the new ad. of Mr. Isaac M. Loryea in this issue. He represents the New York Life Insurance Company, one of the strongest and most liberal companies in the world. His office is located over The Bamberg Herald, and you should call on him for rates and full information if you want a policy on your life. * If you want to go to Columbia Thursday of next week, leave your ? ? ?- ? ? T "D /"Yttt o of f V> a IlclIXie WILLI LVXX. J. xv. vy r> tuo av vus. Bamberg Pharmacy, or notify The y Herald office. The rate is only $1.55 for the round trip and a special car will be provided to leave here earlV Thursday morning and connect with a special train at Branchville. Miss Grace Vandiver, field secretary of the South Carolina Sundayschool association, will be in Bamberg, Wednesday, April 10th. She will be glad to meet the Sunday" school workers of Bamberg county of all denominations at the Me?hodist church at 8:30 o'clock p. m. All are cordially invited to be present. The fund from the dispensary was distributed to the various counties of the State this week. It goes to the schools on the basis of enrollment, each pupil enrolled getting 28 cents. Bamberg county, with an enrollment * of 4,654 children, gets from this fund $1,277.92. Barnwell county, with an enrollment of 7,296, gets $2,219.28. A negro committed suicide on Mr. Berry Carter's place, in the Ehrhardt section, Monday. It appears that, he was working for Mr. Laurie Lawton, who reprimanded him for something and the negro went to his house and shut himself up, and soon afterwards a gun shot was heard. He had killed himself with a shotgun, the entire load taking effect in his body near the heart. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, at which it was decided to place a light in front of the guard house. A resolution was passed forbidding the Southern Railway from running trains faster than six miles per hour within two hundred yards of depot. The town hall was rented to the ^ lodge of Woodmen of the World one night in each month. v J. F. Carter, Esq., of this city, who has had under advisement the ' 1 " * ? ? - ? ? ? A f AT* matter or Decommg a fauuiuaw solicitor of the second circuit, has decided not to make the race. Mr. Carter had many assurances of strong support from all over the cirt cuit, but he finds that the demands of his extensive law practice at this time are too great for him to offer for public position, and he feels that the interest of his clients should be his first consideration. Agent D. M. Eaves is endeavoring to induce the railway authorities to run a special car from Bamberg to Branchville to connect with a special train to Columbia on next Thursday, April 11th, on account of the unveil- j ing of the monument to the women r?f tho Cnnfpripraew So far he has not succeeded in getting this train, but he hopes to do so. At least fifty people will go frcm here if the special is furnished, but very few will go otherwise, as the morning trains will reach Columbia too late for the ceremonies, which are at 12 o'clock noon.

Practical and valuable information concerning dairying and live stock raising and all problems pertaining to the economical production of milk, cream and butter, will be afforded by the visit of the "dairy instruction car," being operated by the Southern Railway over its lines in the South for the purpose of stimulating interest in this industry, which will be in Bamberg on Saturday, April 6th, and will exhibit at 9 a. m. The car is equipped with all the latest models of dairy machinery and testers, and is accompanied by Dr. U. iU. iviv/igau, uan j J vA. v*?v Southern Railway and experts from Clemson college, who will conduct lectures, illustrated by stereopticon views, on subjects vital and helpful to the dairymen. On the walls of the car are pictures of the best dairy animals and instruction charts on feeding, how to handle milk, and how to make larger profits from dairy products. Dr. Morgan and his assistants will give a free test of milk samples brought to the car. This service will enable the farmer to find out whether his cow is profitable ahd should be kept, and advice and instruction will be given based on results of the test. The experts will be ready to answer ail questions and give any assistance they can to any one who may be interested in starting a dairy or improving the one already in operation All citizens of this section are cordially invited to be present. W. C. T. U. Notes. It is a fact that something entirely out of the ordinary has to take place to keep "the faithful few" away from our temperance union meetings. In response to Mrs. Delk's kind invitation some wpmen met at her home to .attend the regular monthly W. C. T. U. meeting the last Tuesday afternoon in March. Our president being sick, the first vice president, Mrs. Hodges, conducted our commemorative meeting. As it was decided some time ago we are to observe all of our red letter days. This time we observed what we white ribboners call our prohibition rally day, celebrating the birth of Neal Dow, "the father of prohibition." The song selected was indeed fitting, for true it is that his and our Christian warfare has been and is strengthened by singing and living "Onward " A nnrttnn nf viiribtidii ouimcio. xx pvi tivu vta. the fifth chapter of Isa. was read, I followed by prayer. Several members read quotations on "what governors have to say about prohibition." Sorry our flower mission superintendent was absent. Now is the time to "be up and doing" in this beautiful work. There are many things besides giving flowers that workers through this department can accomplish. Let us look about us and make and find opportunities for doing good. The treasurer and press superintendent respectively made reports. The literature superintendent asked for temperance and other good, wholesome literature to distribute. A committee composed of Mesdames Hodges, Black and Spann were asked to call on Prof. Allen and Prof. Guilds and confer with them as to whether it would be advisable or not to have a debating or elocution contest in our two schools. The W. C. T. U. reserves the right of selecting subjects and prize or medal. A short sketch of William Neal Dow's life was read by Miss Bessie Lee Black. Two short clippings. "The Spirit of Neal Dow," by Hon. Seaborn Wright; and "A Tribute to Neal Dow," by Miss Willard, were read by Mrs. Kirsch. Readings such as we had gave us an insight into the greatness and steadfastness of this good man's inner life. Neal Dow was fixed in temperance principles. After enjoying delightful refreshments and a while together, we were adjourned. The News and Courier says "considerable increase in the value of Charleston real estate has been indicated by a number'of transactions negotiated by local dealers in the recent past."

Two fiegroes, George Rivers and John Wiggins, got into a fight last Monday morning and Rivers shot Wiggins with a pistol, three bullets taking effect. We understand that Wiggins was shot in both legs and one bullet lodged in the body. The < shooting occurred near Howell's old mill, and the negroes are said to have fallen out over a woman. Wiggins is seriously wounded and may i die. Rivers has not yet been arrested. "Fiddling Bob" Taylor Expires. Washington, March 31.?Robert Love Taylor, United States Senator from Tennessee, "Fiddling Eob" to all the South, died here to-day, unable to withstand the shock of an operation for gall stones performed las:. Thursday. Early this morning the senator began to fail to respond" to stimulants. Mrs. Taylor, worn out by a night vigil, had gone to her apartm?nta At a o'clock this morning the senator began to sink so rapidly that she was sent for. She was at his side when the end came, at 9:10 o'clock. "Fiddling Bob" Taylor, so known because he played his way into the hearts of his audiences, carrying his violin wherever he campaigned, was 61 years'old. He was born July 31, 1850, at Happy Valley, in Eastern Tennessee, but spent most of his life at Nashville, practicing law. He belonged to an office-holding family. His father was a representative in congress and commissioner of Indian affairs, and an uncle was in the Confederate senate. If the cotton raised in this county lats year had all been gathered there is no telling what tne receipts woum have amounted to. Cotton Weigher Kinard informed us last week that he had weighed at this point more than 16,000 bales, and there is plenty more in the fields in all sections of the county. Much of the cotton is on the ground and can never be gathered, however. Bamberg Negro Cuts Another. "What have you got to do with it?" asked Golden Hightower when he thrust a knife blade into Jim Fleming's neck Saturday night because Fleming remonstrated with him for whipping his wife. Fleming was sitting at a table in a restaurant owned by his brother, Shep Fleming, when the cutting occurred. Hightower, a nephew of Jim Fleming's, had been beating his wife. When Fleming repionstratcd Hightower walked up to him, asked him what he had to do with it and plunged a knife into his neck. The edge of the knife grazed the jugular vein and several small arteries. Fleming arose from the table and ran for the drug store. He was severely wounded and bledN copiously. Staggering into the drug store his body crumpled and he fell as though dead. Physicians o r?

The spark of life was almost gone and they said he could not live, but he was given a saline solution and consciousness returned. Both negroes are from Bamberg and have been working in the oil mill. Hightower is in jail and Fleming is recovering from his wounds.?Dillon Herald. Pig Sty Lighted by Electricity. Electricity, generated by water power, has so revolutionized conditions on the farm of E. Burdette Miner at Oriskany Falls, New York, that even the pig sty is illuminated by incandescent burners. Lighting of the pig sty came after that of the house and barns, and is part of a comprehensive electric system developed from water falls of a small CCft.. This power not only simplifies farm work by milking the cows, grinding the feed, sawing wood and pumping water, but it has been carried into the home to the benefit of that most overworked of all persons, the farmer's wife, 'f'he farmhouse is heated with five electric radiators, while cooking and ironing are accomplished in the same way. Electricity runs a vacuum cleaner, ventilating fans, and the sewing machine. There is even an electric egg beater, and an electric cream whipper. What Mr. Burdette has accomplished at Oriskany Falls other farmers in other parts of the country are doing or planning now that the possibilities of water power, due to the recent electrical progress, are coming to be realized. Nearly every State in the union has latent power which can be turned into immense advantage for both country and city dwellers. The pioneer work in connecting water power into electrical power, and transmitting it over long distances, was done at Niagara Falls; and it is in that section of the country that the benefits of water power i have been most evident. The tremendous force of Niagara Falls never has been and never will be developed to more than a fraction of its possibilities, because most of the water must continue to flow over the Falls as a great scenic spectacle. But Canada and the United States, in a treaty negotiation for the express purpose of preserving the Falls, have also provided for industrial development by permitting a small proportion of the water to be used for power. With no damage to the seenery, .the present power production at the Falls will be doubled. The Canadian-American waterways treaty will go into force in the United States on the expiration of the Burton law, a temporary expedient of congress to regulate the ^situation. Since its provisions as to diversion of water safeguard the Falls permanently, the treaty imposes no restriction, as does the Burton law, upon the quantity of power that may be imported into the United States from the Canadian side.A large amount of power for which there is no market in Canada may therefore be transmitted to the United States. This, together with the slightly increased water allowance on the American side, will make possible to double the present energy produced at Niagara Falls and to distribute nearly 800,000 horsepower over- an area of more than 100,000 square miles. Reflections of a Bachelor. It's safer to be sure of yourself than of a hundred other people. Heroes seem able^to yell the loudest of all over a stomach ache. Confession, which ought to be tried before anything else to get out of a fix, always comes last. The trouble with a man's getting his salary raised is he thinks he has to live up to twice that much. The world will never give you any credit at all till you are a success; then it will give you a thousand times more than you are entitled to. The only way most people can keep from spending any money they get is to lose it. What a man enjoys about a late supper is how his doctor has warned him never to do it. / 1 1 Baking t Js?

Two Dogs Pressed Into Service in 1 Hunting Aliens. Hillsville, Va., April 1.?Two Diooan^unas io-aay were set uyun j j, the trail of Sidna Allen and his i s nephew, Wesley Edwards, the two; s remaining fugitives of the Allen clan, j \ Though given what the detectives j 1 considered was the best trail they j t had found thus far, a heavy rain is s thought to have washed away the E scent and at nightfall the posse had s met with no success. The trail given c to the dogs began at the' natural cave where a supply of rations and ^ blankets were abandoned Saturday t by the outlaws in a sudden flight, a caused by the close approach of the f posse. a The detectives have secured infor- a mation which to-morrow will set the d dogs upon a new trail. t Scipio Gray, who lives in the Fancy Gap section, reported that the two outlaws had appeared near his home 15 yesterday. Gray knows the Aliens * very well and his clue is considered * reliable. It is believed from Gray's c information that the two men are c f moving back and forth between two - - - . . . t bases of food supply, aiDOut len miies apart. * The report brought by Gray wa3 * corroborated by Alexander McCraw, ^ who lives nearby and also declared c he saw the fleeing men. Both Gray 3 and McCraw were agreed that the ^ outlaws were headed toward the home of Hubbard Easter which is about a mile and a half from Floyd Allen's house. Hubbard Easter is a 2 close relative of the 41Iens an(* J as well as all other members of the ^ Eastef family, has been under close surveillance by the detectives to as- 1 certain if they were furnishing food * to the outlaws.
