U Some much-needed work has been done on the road between this place ? and the new bridge on the Edisto river. The public will greatly appreciate the raising of the sidewalk in front ^ of the post office. It is a great im + w yi v/v^uigui. Oi The spring season is here and now B is the time to clean up around your ^ premises. Let's make Bamberg a te clean town. ic The firm of H. G. Delk & Co. has C( been dissolved, Mr. Delk having bought the interest of Mr. Clarence hi B. Free, Jr. m This is the season of the year when 1< you need to swat the fly harder than M ever. A crusade against flies is bad- y< ly needed in Bamberg. ai Several from here went to Charleston Monday night to attend the hearTnAerliiw i n + Vl O TTnitPfl StatftS -L U'COMa T 1U i>uv iw ??*?w~ Court in the matter of J. A. Hunter.. a* of According to the report of Commissioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson, Bamberg county has seventyeight automobiles and Barnwell 3 46. If a few persons were arrested and fined for sweeping trash and waste paper in to the street we believe the practice would be largely discontinued. Presiding Elder M. L. Banks preached at the Methodist church last Sunday and held second quarterly conference for this charge Monday morning. Mrs. W. D. Rhoad requests that all who have contributed to the fund for a new carpet at the Methodist church will bring or send their con tributicm to her without delay. The pension money for this year has been distributed by the comptroller general. The amount for Bamberg county pensioners is $2,577.80. We publish the list in an- ^ other column. $] Mr. A. C. Free, who lives in the n( Olar section, had the misfortune to th lose his dwelling house and contents d< by fire last Friday afternoon. Only ti< a bed and a few other articles were ti< saved. Mr. Free carried no insur- cc ance, and the loss falls heavily on bi him. w The regular monthly meeting of ai the Francis Marion Bamberg Chapter, U. D. C., will meet with Mrs. J. C. 01 Moye next Tuesday afternoon, April ai 15th, at four o'clock. A full at- ai tendance is requested, as there is 10 much business to come before the M chapter. M M Now that longer days have come and the stores will soon close at six ^ o'clock, the fire department ought to do some practicing. Take an inter- D est in the organization, young men, TT for there is none more important to \T us all. There is no telling when *u your services will be needed. r M The base ball team of the Carlisle Fitting School went to Charleston last Thursday and played two games ^ there Thursday and Friday with the team of the Porter Military Academy. The Fitting School won the first game by a score of 12 to 4, but they * lost the game Friday afternoon, the ? , . c score being two to one. _ R In another column we publish the jj fish law. It would be well for those L who have been violating this law to g read the digest. It will be seen that q no nets, traps, or other appliances ^ for catching fish can be used between j the first day of April and the first day of August, and during that time q no game fish can be offered for sale, A even if caught with hook and line. H We think it is time that the in- r surance rates for Bamberg were being j revised, and we trust that those in j authority will take up the matter jyj with the insurance trust right away, ^ and se*- if they cannot have the town r re-rated and some reductions made, q We have never been satisfied with p the re-ratine: made a few years ago, j just after the water works were in- j stalled. j Sheriff S. G. Ray is now looking J after the sanitary condition of the E town, he having been appointed by c city council for the work of health ^ officer. The sheriff is determined to ^ see that everybody keeps their prem- G ises clean, and he has full authority G to force compliance. Therefore we J would advise every citizen to co-oper- F ate with him in making Bamberg a ^ clean town. V L Mr Joseph Kinard came very near losing the sight of his right eye last j Wednesday evening.

The Missionary Voice is the periodical of all the missionary forces of our church, home and foreign. It is the voice of the church at work. May it be the "voice preparing the way of the Lord!" No one can be an intelligent christian who fails to interest himself in the great movements of his church. No one can call himself intelligent whose horizon is bound by his native land or commonwealth. Outside of the spiritual uplift that comes from the study of "other peoples and other tongues" in relation to tue gospel of Jesus, the intellectual help is beyond comparison. So our Missionary Voice goes out month after month with its wealth of broadening, strengthening, food for mind and soul. But in the mul1!i J ?-> -n nariA^inole UlUUt) UI JUidgd^lilCO auu ivuiuaio that bring only a passing entertainment the Voice is hushed, amid the many voices that speak only of the passing things of a day. "These things ought not so to be." Let us no longer neglect our paper, but as we open its pages let us open our hearts and hear "what the Lord God will say to us" through his servants; and let each of us be a voice for the Voice, trying to make it an open book to others who now neglect it. The subscription list of the Voice is growing slowly, four hundred more subscribers in 1912 than in 1911; and in 1913 five hundred more than 1912. Engine Jumps the Track. Last Friday morning about six o'clock an engine pulling an extra freight train from Augusta to Charleston, left the track near the cross~ ?* <"?Vl n flTI Rail ill g CL L CllC JJa^/uoi. vuuivu vU road Avenue in this city. The engine had backed into the siding to take on a car load of cattle, and as it was coming out of the siding it left the track, falling broadside into a ditch by the side of the track. The accident was caused by the switch being left open when the engine went in the siding. The fireman got out, and while the engineer stayed with the engine during its fall, neither was hurt. The damage to the engine was not very great. A wrecking crew with a crane came up the same afternoo^ and soon had the engine and tender back on the track. Base Ball. Barnwell and C. F.

The new grandstand is completed and the fans will be comfortably seated. The Carlisle team has just returned from a series of games with Porter Military Academy, Charleston, in which they broke even, winning the first game by the score of 12 to 4, and losing the second 2 to 1. Prof. Anderson, the coach, is working the squad every afternoon, and they seem determined to win from the Barnwell bunch. The new uniforms have come. The boys make a splendid show in the red and white. Barnwell has a strong team of high school et cetera, and the game promises to be very exciting. Everybody ie invited to turn out and enjoy i the game. The management intends to ask the merchants to close so that I all the clerks may attend. The game will be called-strictly at 4.30. Tickets twenty-five cents, ten cents extra to grand stand. J Citizens Ticket. Mayor?C. W. Rentz. Aldermen?I. N. Dunn, D. J. Delk, E. H. Henderson, J. M. Grimes, J. J. Smoak, F. M. Simmons.

Some of the furniture and household goods were saved. We did not learn as to whether there was any insurance on the building or contents. Memorial May 8th. Some of our readers cannot understand exactly the date for the memorial services at Rivers' Bridge, as the date was first published in this paper as April 24th and last week as May 8th. The correct date is May 8th, and as so many people depend oil The Herald for exact information, we will state how it all came about. The notice was sent in by Capt. J. W. Jenny, secretary, and the date in his notice was May 8th. We had the notice put in type, but on press day a gentleman from the Ehrhardt section, who is a member of the Association, came into our office and stated that the date had been changed to April 24th on account of a conflict with the Lutheran picnic at Mt Pleasant church. We asked him if we had best change the date, as we had it from the secretary as May 8th, M M J A A A 1 l"? A 4- V, /\ t ? A? A ? ^ 111/] V\ A a.uu lie bcuu ue Luuugui, it wuuiu uc well to publish the date as April 24th, which we did. Then Capt. Jenny wrote us calling attention to our changing the date, and we wrote him explaining why we had done so. As we have not heard from him since, we rightfully assume that the date is May 8th, and we so changed it in our last week's issue. Pensioners for Bamberg. Clerk of Court C. B.

The Bamberg Herald's great piano voting contest is reaching normal proportions now. It has come to where you can't tell who is leading. So many have brought in subscriptions and received their votes, and some have so many that no one can even guess which one has the most. There is quite a demand for merchants' coupons, too. These are little jokers that will probably tell the story in the end. And this is the way our readers can help. It does not cost you a cent when you buy groceries, dry goods, hardware, clothing, furniture, drugs, or whatever the advertisers in the contest have to offer, and then as the contestant comes to you, you will have a pleasant little surprise for her; that will prove you a person who thinks of others,, and it will make her pleased with you. Every one of the ladies who is out for that piano wants it, and they are honestly trying in every honorable way to come in possession of it. It is simply a question of which one you like best. Of course you like them all, and Bamberg and vicinity have nothing nicer than these contestants, and what is nicer for a lady, whether old or young, and her family and circle of friends, than a nice piano? on/I onnh o rmo f nr infifT r.ne AS The 1 Herald is going to give to the lady that the people of Bamberg and vicinity like the best. Bear in mind that the ballot box is closed for the second count at 6:00 p. m. on April 21st.

Again Declares He Doesn't Know Where Tindal Is. > Elloree, April 7.?Barkley Rush, jA who, with his former employee, A. J. Tindal, figured in the Santee River ^B| mock tragedy, passed through here H this morning on the train from Orangeburg. The news of Rush's ap- WB pearance in Orangeburg yesterday W| afternoon reached here last night and ^ there was a large crowd at the depot this morning to see one whom many, for a time, thought dead. Rush got off the train at Parler, J where, on the night of March 13, he and Tindal left for parts unknown. He drove back to Elloree this morning and spent several hours here. Rush was non-communicative and little more than the story carried in to-day's papers could be gotten out of him. He declared that Tindal is still alive, but he does not know his whereabouts, they having parted company in Augusta about two weeks ago. He declares that if he knew of Tindal's whereabouts he would not tell; that he would go to jail first, but "I do not know," he stated, "if they want to find him let them hunt ' ^ him." He declares that Tindal did not ^ have much money when he 'left, that it was so little until it was not worth mentioning. "He gave me $10 and told me to go ^5 and hunt a job," said Rush, who . ^ found the job, but growing weary fjj and disgusted he determined to return home. "Man, I have been working ever since I left here," he declared, exhib- > iting a set of corn bedecked palms, which corroborated his statement that : / handling heavy railroad irons was no cinch. Rush declares that he and his former employee did not have a falling out and holds out that he and , Tindal were on the best of terms.
