?br Uambrrg ifrralh Thursday, June 26,1913 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Mr. G. Move Dickinson has purchased a handsome Studebaker touring car. You may be sure there is going to be some lively dispensary fight in this county before the campaign is over. The annual Sunday-school picnic will be held at Springtown church on Friday, July 4th. Everybody cordially invited to attend. There will be a picnic at the home of Julius A. McMillan on July 4th. The public is cordially invited to attend, with well filled gaskets. Mr. Herbert W. Ehrhardt arriver in the city Tuesday and will on Friday return with Mrs. Ehrhardt and baby to their home at Ehrhardt.? Newberry Herald and News. The regular monthly meeting of the civic league will be held at the city hall Thursday afternoon at five o'clock. Every member is urged to attend, as business of importance is to be transacted. Last Saturday, only a few hours after Mr. J. D. Copeland, Jr., had brought in Mr. F. E. Dozier's cotton bloom, Mr. L. M. Ayer brought in three, picked from Mr. J. J. O'Neal's farm near town. A number from here went to Orangeburg Tuesday to attend the FolkMcMichael wedding, among them being Miss Leonard Folk, Messrs. J. H. McGowan, F. C. Ayer, W. A. Dickinson and others. The Herald is issued as a six-page paper this week, the reason being that we hatfe so few advertisments. Even with a paper of this size we are giving more reading mater than any weekly we know of. The seed house at the oil mill is being enlarged, about twenty feet more being added to its length. This enlarging of the seed house made it necessary that the mill office be turned around, and it now faces the street. The first cotton bloom of the season was handed us last Saturday morning by Mr. J. D. Copeland, Jr., v it being sent in by Mr. F. E. Dozier, who lives a few miles above town. Mr. Dozier says this is a sample of his crop. A number of showers and other entertainments were tendered Miss Sim6ie McMichael by her friends in Orangeburg last week. She is one of the most popular young ladies of that city, and becomes the bride of Mr. H. N. Folk, of this city, today. We learn that the Pearlstine store, formerly occupied by the Pastime Theatre, will be entirely remodeled and a handsome plate glass and pressed brick front put in. New shelving is to be erected and tne store maae a handsome, up-to-date establish^ ment. Mr. J. C. Guilds made an address at Trinity Methodist church last Sunday, in the absence of Rev. W. H. Hodges, who is in Charleston with Mrs. Hodges, she having been taken there last week for an operation. Her many friends hope she will soon be restored to health. ? Visit of Mr. Harley. Rev. J. L. Harley, superintendent of the anti-saloon league, was in the city last Thursday and Friday. He made an address at the court house Thursday evening, and was to have made another speech at the same place Friday evening, but did not, as the crowd was so small. We understand that he conferred with the prohibition leaders while here, and the dispensary petitions were examined. As a result of his visit it is likely that a strong fight will be put up against holding the election, as some are of the opinion that the petitions filed do not contain the necessary x number of names.

ANOTHER VETERAN GONE Remains of L. N. Bellinger Laid to Rest at Bamberg. Bamberg, June 22.?Gradually the ranks of the Confederate veterans grow thinner, and in only a few more years the last of these grand old heroes will have passed to the great beyond. Only yesterday was the body of L. X. Bellinger, one of the most unpretentious, but at the same time one of the noblest and best of these old heroes, carried by loving friends to Restland cemetery and buried beside the body of his wife, who preceded him by only a few years. He had reached the good old age of 76, and during all these years no one seems to recall a single act or deed of his that did him discredit or harmed his neighbor. Of him it can be truly said he was a good man, and there are none more universally loved and respected than he was. He died in the city of Charleston at noon on Thursday, where he had been taken with the hope that the salt atmosphere might add new vigor to his broken constitution, but he .spent his life here. For many years he taught school in this county, and was afterwards school commissioner of Barnwell county. He was largely instrumental in building up the educational interests of this and Barnwell counties. He was a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist church, and both by precept and example taught the younger generation to walk in the way they should SO. , In the absence of the Rev. W. H. ' Hodges, his pastor, the Rev. M. M. Brabham preached the funeral ser- , I mon and read the ^burial services at the grave. < Many friends came from Charleston, Columbia, Savannah and other towns and cities to attend the funeral. The floral offerings were profuse . and unusually beautiful.?Bamberg Correspondence News and Courier. Death of Mr. Bellinger. W- T >.T T-, . 1 4-V.rv Kant .Ml*, ju. iM. ueiiiiger, uuc ui mc ucoi known citizens of this town, died in Charleston Thursday of last week, aged 76 years. Mjr. Bellinger had been in bad health for some months, and 60me time ago he went to Charleston hoping that the change would be of benefit. He was getting along 1 nicely, and his many friends here < hoped to see him back soon, but he took a sudden turn for the worse and the end came without many Bamberg people being informed of his serious condition. ' The body was brought here Friday 1 morning and interred the same after- 1 noon in Restland cemetery by the ' side of his wife who preceded him to < the better land some years ago. Rev. 1 M. M. Brabham, in the absence of ' Rev. W. H. Hodges, conducted the services. The love and esteem in < which Mr. Bellinger was held was * attested by thfe large crowd present, 1 there being friends and relatives from a number of other towns and cities. Mr. Bellinger had lived in Bamberg 1 for a number of years. He taught t school many years ago, and there 1 are hundreds of his pupils who re- ^ member and appreciate his early training. Later he was school commissioner for Barnwell county, and in this position did much to advance the educational interests of the old county. He was an enthusiastic Confederate veteran, and attended all the reunions whenever possible. He served throughout the war and did ? his full duty as a soldier, as he did in " every department of life. He was ? one of the very best men the writer ever knew, and if he had an enemy 1 on earth nobody ever heard of it. He i was truly a good man and good citi- 5 zen, one who did much good during 1 his life. He left no children. 1 Preaching Next Sunday.

C., June 24, 1913 J i U. D. C. Scholarship. i At a recent meeting of the Francis 1 Marion Bamberg Chapter, U. D. C., I it was decided to offer two scholar- i ships at the Carlisle school, to be awarded the first Wednesday in i August, to deserving applicants, pro- 1 vided they were lineal descendants 1 of a Confederate veteran. These tu- i ition scholarships are worth $35 each 1 and are to be awarded to a wormy young man and young woman. Full " information as to how these scholar- < ships are to be obtained can be learn- ] ' ed from Prof. J. C. Guilds, who with ] Mrs. J. H. Murphy, Mrs. Robert < l Black, and Mrs. Jno.

The subscription contest which has been in progress for some time in the interest of The Bamberg Herald, came to a close last Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, and as a result Miss Elma Chitty is the fortunate possessor of the handsome piano, which was the grand prize. Miss Hattie Bessinger came next, and has her choice of any of the remaining prizes. Miss Cleo Kearse is next and has next choice, while Miss Thelma Kearse is next and has the next choice, and so on down the list. There is a prize for every young lady in the contest, and every one will receive something. The voting was fast and furious last Saturday, and when the time for closing the ballot box came the editor and contest manager as well were completely at sea, for they had no idea where the piano was going. But when the committee consisting of Messrs. A. M. Denbow, H. H. Stokes, and E. H. Henderson, made the final count it was seen that Miss Elma Chitty was ahead and therefore the winner of the piano. It is a handsome instrument with a fine tone, and we congratulate the friends of this young lady on the magnificient work they did'for her, for it was the faithful work they did in her behalf that enabled her to come out winner. Miss Bessinger has been a mighty faithful worker, and she was right next in the last count. In fact all the young ladies did well, and we are exceedingly pleased at their work. We have Dnly one regret about the contest, and that is that we could not give a piano to at least four of the contestmts, because they had put so much ?ood work into the contest. Following is the report of the committee: Miss Elma Chitty 197,900 Miss Hattie Bessinger ..178,450 Miss Cleo Hearse 159,400 Miss Thelma Kearse 108,275 Miss Kittie Dannelly .... 55,400 Miss Rosa Adams 53,750 Miss Fanny L. Free .... 24,100 Miss Nelle Clayton 15,075 Miss Mattie Nimmons .... 14,400 Miss G. E. Jordan 2,050 We, the committee, hereby certify Lhat the above is a correct statement )f final count. E. H. HENDERSON, H. H. STOKES, A. ML DENBOW. As stated above, each of these roung ladies will receive one of the prizes offered, they having choice in proportion to the number of votes recorded above. They are asked to lall as soon as possible and select :he prize they want, this week if possible. We return thanks to all who helped to make the contest a success, and :he new friends The Herald has made ve hope to keep with us indefinitely. The Fiddlers' Convention. Editor The Bamberg Herald: ? Last week we gave you a list of gen:lemen who are to form a part of the program of our concerts during the Fiddlers' Convention. Several other lames have been added to this list, ^.s we glance over our roll we cannot ielp but congratulate ourselves, snowing as we do, that we have some )f the best and most natural talent ;his continent affords, because some Df these musicians will play their jwn compositions, and having given >o little time to the study of the art. fou cannot but wonder at such ichievement. We learn that the great master, Beethoven's habit was that of seekng seclusion in the woodland, clearng from his ears the tones of hunan voices and of all instruments, istening to nature's orchestra, the jirds and animals. This is true also Havrien. Thus was formed the rreatest of compositions, "The Creadon." Ana thus it has been that some of our artists have stored their nemory with sweet strains to be proiuced at will upon the "King of instruments," the violin, at the Fidllers' Convention. Besides these ar:ists who will give us their own compositions in their own way, we will have also the conservatory artists sv'ho will render strains of the old masters. Everybody loves music? lever heard of but one man who did aot?and I heard an Irishman tell lim, "You'll be mus-er-a-bil whin ye *it to hiv'n, kase they til me ther's music thir." The object of our convention is several fold. We love music; we svant to hear our own people; we svant more development and closer relationship. Our people need to be brought nearer together socially. Take that out of our civilization and what have we? So come, let us tune ourselves together in a great harmonious gathering. We look forward, aot only to hearing melodious strains of instruments tuned together, but to a, great social gathering of people in olose fellowship as well. C. W. RENTZ, Acting Secretary.

Almost every one has seen the bush-tailed goldfish, with its four, five and sometimes jj more long, wavy tails, but it is not j-] generally known that most of them e are not its own. e When the litle goldfish are very, very young, their flesh is as clear as r glass, so that one can see every bone ^ in their tiny bodies. At this time the c, few that are born with two or more s tails are put by themselves, and then n a queer-looking old Jap, with a great ^ magnifying glass fastened in front n of his eye and wee sharp tools handy reaches down under the water and g cuts off the tails of the plain little t] fish, and then three of four of these ^ tails are joined on to the backbone n where the one was cut off and fasten- f( ed there with tiny bandages until ^ they grow fast. h ? - -i_;n The Japanese, wno are very skiu- ^ ful in queer things of this kind, grow the finest goldfish in the world and it is a very good business for very fine c; fish of the kind often bring as much h as $300 to $500, and one sold not ^ long ago for $1,000.?The New York ^ Press. Bride Killed at Wedding.

At one time, after listening C( to a long story of her ailments from T a lady that was so little ill that she g intended to go to the opera that p night, the doctor left the room with g a sigh of relief. He had just got down the stairs when he was called back. "Doctor," feebly asked the lady, v "may I, on my return tonight, eat a g1 few oysters?" "Yes, madam," roared the doctor, "shells and all." Two better halves are apt to make " cents look like a dollar. Thisis leas S] a lot of trouble. t( The Best Hot Weather Tonic 11 GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC enriches the k blood, builds up the whole system and will won- r. derfully strengthen and fortify you to withstand the depressing effect of the hot summer. 50c. tl X3UBLE MURDER NEAR DUBLIN. | lob Storms Jail, But Fails to Get Di Negroes to Lynch.

When the officers and a th uickly summoned posse appeared on in he scene Mrs. Hewell was dead, but th er husband was still breathing and M uffering awful agony from the ca rounds and burns.
