The Herald wants to be of service to Bamberg, but we can only be of real benefit to the community when v. < . -,?^N +V./-> Piinnnrt orirt h a f l\ i T1 of w C lid * L1 io ouppvi v c*aav* the people. Rev. \V. H. Hodges will preach his last sermon before conference at the Methodist church next Sunday. He will leave for conference at Anderson the first part of next week. The jury for the first week was dismissed Saturday morning of last week, and the balance of the day given over to hearing cases before the presiding judge, these being civil matters, orders, etc. This issue of The Herald contains ten pages. We would have printed a twelve-page paper had our force not been worked so hard. All these big ads. coming in since Monday gave them enough to do to get out a ten You can certainly buy goods cheap in Bamberg now. Notice the ads. in this issue and note that profits are being cut off entirely by some merchants. They had rather sell the goods at no profit than run the risk of carrying them over. Special Thanksgiving services will be held at St. John's Batpist church, . Rev. E. A. McDowell, pastor, on Thursday, the 28th instant. There will be a sermon at 11:30 o'clock and dinner on the grounds. The public is cordially invited. Rev. J. W. Sparks, an Episcopal minister from Charleston, will make his monthly visit to Bamberg on Sunday next and will hold divine services at the Presbyterian church at 11 a. m. and 4 o'clock p. m. The public is cordially invited. Mr. J. D. Miley, of the Smoaks section, suffered a stroke of paralysis a few days ago, and is still confined to his bed. His condition is as good as could be expected under the circumstances. His many Bamberg friends hope that he will soon be up and out again. The news of the death of Mr. J. W. Barnes, or tne uope secuuu, was received with much regret in Bam-j berg, where he was well kflown and had relatives and friends. Mr. Barnes leaves a wife but no children. H? was a successful business man, and those who know him think there must be some mistake about the statement in the newspapers that financial difficulties caused him to take his life. Monday night Mr. James Armstrong had his hands painfully burned at the Peoples Drug Company while filling a hot water heater which is used at the soda fount. He was filling the heater with gasoline, this being the fuel used, and was under the impression that the fire had been extinguished, but it had not, and when a little gasoline was spilled the heater at once caught fire and the flames spread to Mr. Armstrong's hands, inflicting painful burns on both.

Parcels Post Law. i The new parcels posi law will go n r ( i into effect January 1st, 1913, and i after that date every package of meri chandise or fourth class matter must bear a distinctive parcels post 6tamp, j ordinary postage stamps not being i 313 valid for transmission of matter of I this class. In addition to this, the | w package must also contain the name ! and address of the sender, otherwise se it will be treated as '"held for postage" and not forwarded. q The postmaster at Bamberg desires that the patrons of the office will inform themselves fully as to the requirements of the new law in order that they may be saved trouble and ll1 annoyance, and he and his assistants will give all information in regard to w; the same. co Orangeburg's .New 1 tail road. C( 1 ^ ' Mr. C. V. Tompkins, assistant general freight agent of. the Seaboard Air Line, paid a visit to Orangeburg at ds last week for the purpose of looking into the railroad now being built from North to Orangeburg by Mr. W. *u C. Wolfe. Mr. Tompkins stated that E< the road would be open for business in sixty to ninety days, and that the ha Seaboard would stop all their fast co trains at North in order to connect with the new road and that all pos- ja; sible facilities would be given for the to handling of freight. This connection will no doubt mean much to Orangeburg. The road may later be built on to the coast via Bamberg. This, however, does not come from the railroad people or Mr. Wolfe. It possi- tlc bly expresses the hope of the writer mnro than anvthirier else. wl Death of T. L. Wiggins. Mr. Thos. L. Wiggins, a former be resident of Bamberg, who was well he known and had many friends in this eh city, died in Savannah Saturday of last week. The body was brought to te] Barnwell Sunday and buried there. jiE Mr. Wiggins was forty-six years old, gu and was born in Georgia. He came to Barnwell a number of years ago dr and was married to Miss Brabham, a an sister of Messrs. C. R. and W. M. . Brabham. He leaves surviving him a widow and three children, two boys on and one girl. pit Mr. Wiggins lived in Bamberg for prj several years, and at one time ran this newspaper as lessee from the company that owned it at that time. S. He then lived-in Charleston for some years, and afterwards was foreman La of The Herald under the present pro- on prietor. ?He and family later returned to Charleston, where they lived W until they moved to Savannah. Mr. Cc Wiggins was an expert printer and a Mi good writer, knowing the newspaper in business thoroughly. His health was very bad for a year or more and he was forced to quit work, but a short ph time ago he had gotten much better ne and had gone back to work, being e(j foreman of the Savannah Morning ur News at the time of his death. The end came suddenly Saturday while w he was at his desk in the News office. Tu Mr. Wiggins was one of the most genial characters we ever knew, and ^ everybody was his friend. His sudden and untimely death is deeply regretted by all who know him. Peace to his ashes! Civic League. Mi Bamberg ladies, as never before, are awakening to the call for workers Pr in the making over of their home town. Several new names have been already been added to the roll since rpQ re-organization, and it is hoped that many others will attend and join at Po the next meeting. This meeting will be held Thursday afternoon of next week in the town hall, this being the Yc fourth Thursday in the month,1 the regular time of meeting. Let the an members attend promptly at four o'clock, and the treasurer will be glad for those who have not paid their yearly dues to bring them at this time. The dues are only 50 cents each year, with no extra calls ^e< for any cause. e(* The play, "Miss Topsy Turvy," is ar< being rehearsed with great enthusi- tlE * isa' asm oy tne young ioiks uikius yau, and will soon be presented for the benefit of the civic league. ric It is hoped that the ladies are now ready with their recipes for the cook *n! book. The committees on this work Tk are requested to bring in all of the receipes collected to the next meet- fir ing, and let the members bring in 6tl each their contribution of recipes, whether they have been solicited as tir yet or not. h? of Crushed by Falling; Coffin. fi11 ' th< Raleigh.

The largest advertisement ever inserted by this newspaper appears in to-day's issue, it being that of C. R. Brabham's Sons. This is one of the oldest and largest mercantile estab-1 lishments in this section, the busi- j rtpss heine founded vears ago by H. ! J. Brabham. Later the name was changed to H. J. Brabham & Bro. when Mr. C. R. Brabham became a member of the firm. Later Mr. H.. J. Brabham sold out to his brother and entered the Bamberg Banking Company, where he remained until his death last year. The business was run for years by Mr. C. R. Brabham, and when he retired from the mercantile business to devote his entire time and attention to his farms, the business was taken over by his two sons, Messrs. C. R. and A. M. Brabham, who have faithfully carried out the fine record of the store for so many years for reliable and courteous dealing. This is the first special sale they have ever put on, and it is certain that they have some rare and tempting bargains to offer. It would certainly be foolish business policy in them to take and pay for two pages of space in The Herald if they did not have something out of the ordinary for their customers, and the reputation of this old established house and the men in charge' of it is a guarantee that you will be , well repaid for a visit to their store during this great sale. They have a very large stock and they intend to dispose of a large part of it during this sale. Seaboard Trains in Wreck. Norlina, N. C., Nov. 19.?Six men were killed and six others badly hurt in a head-on collision between the northbound and southbound FloridaCuba trains on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, one mile south of the Vir e-inia-North Carolina State line early ! to-day. All those killed or hurt, so far| as reports show, are members of the | crews of the two trains and express messengers. The dead are: C. H. Brickham, engineer, of Raleigh, N. C. W. A. Faison, engineer, of Raleigh, N. C. R. J. Gray, negro fireman. James Ruffin, negro fireman. O. V. Priddy, express messenger, Boykins, Va. Express Messenger King. The injured are: Conductor W. R. Tilghman> Richmond; Baggagemaster Bryant, Express Messengers Coates, Roundtree, and Brown; Pullman Porter Coates. The northbound train known, as No. 81, was due at Norlina, eight miles south of the wrecK scene, at | 2:40 a. m., but did not pass until nearly 4 o'clock. The southbound train, No. 84, was due here at 4 : o'clock. The two trains crashed just i outside the yards of Granite, a small! station near the State line. Relief trains were hurried from \ Norfolk and from Raleigh, N. C, ( carrying surgeons, nurses and officers j of the railroad company. The badly I injured were removed to Raleigh for j treatment. Although the specific cause of the ! wreck has not been determined, in- j formation received here indicated j that Engineer Beckham, on the southbound train, confused his orders for meeting the northbound train. The election of judges by direct vote of the people is being agitated. Well, we don't know that the people could do much worse than the legislature.

A large majority of the citizens of Bamberg county voted for prohibition. Surely they should see to it that the law against the illegal sale of whiskey is enforced, and they can do it if they will. LOCAL DRUGGIST MAKES STATEMENT. Says Dodson's Liver Tone is the Best Remedy for Constipation and Shirk ing Liver He has Ever Sold. Every person who has tried Dodson's Liver Tone and knows how surely and gently it starts the liver to J working and relieves biliousness will bear out the Peoples Drug Store in this statement about Dodson's Liver Tone. "It is a purely vegetable liquid, that entirely takes the place of calomel, harmless and pleasant to the taste, that has proven itself the most satisfactory remedy for a slow-working liver that most of our customers have ever tried.- A large bottle sells for fifty cents and we do not hesitate to give the money back to any person who tries a bottle on the strength of this statement and is not satisfied with the result." In these days of doubtful medicines and dangerous drugs, a statement like the above is a pleasant assurance that Dodson's Liver Tone is a reliable remedy for both children and grownups. In buying a bottle for immediate or future use it is well to make sure you are getting the genuine Dodson's Liver Tone and not some spurious imitation that has copied our claims, but do not stand back of their guarantee. You may be certain of getting the genuine if you go to the Peoples Drug Store for it. BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENTS.
