This week marks the introductior of the c. o. d. parcels post system It ought to be a good thing for the country merchants if they will wake Pup and go after the mail order busKb in ess. A letter received from Mr. J. C Dickinson gives the information thai he is now in Birmingham, Ala., anc he asks that The Herald be agair sent to him, as he wants to learn whai is going on in the old town. ^ . * Presiding Elder M.

Hodges, who has beer in Charleston on account of the illness of Mrs. Hodges, returned t< Bamberg and preached at the Metho dist church Sunday morning. Presiding Elder M. L.

Monroe, of Johnston has been elected prseident of Summerland college at Batesburg, this being the Lutheran college for girls. Mr Monroe was formerly pastor of the Lutheran church at Ehrhardt, anc has many friends in this county whc will be glad to hear of his selectior for this important position. Miss Hattie Bessinger, who was entitled to first choice of the remaining prizes in the Herald's contest, was in town last Saturday and she chose the ready to wear dress given bj Hooton's Ladies Store. We would be glad if the other young ladies whc have next choice of prizes would indicate which they prefer as soon as possible. The board of health has adopted s regulation requiring all dry eartl: closets to be built according to a certain model. The board also condemn ed all dry wells or cess pools and forbid the emptying of any sewerage in to the ditches in town. This means that every dry earth closet in towr will have to be rebuilt and thai every person having a toilet witl water connection will have to builc a septic tank. This action of th( board will do much for the health ol the town. There are a number ol people in town who have toilets witl water connection, and yet there ii V\ only one septic tank in the entin town. ?? Damage by Lightning. Last Friday evening Bamberg wai visited by a severe thunder storm with much electricity in the air There was a fine downfall of rain which was much needed, and ther< was considerable wind along with it The only damage, however, was don< by lightning, which entered the resi dence of Mr. G.

How About a Sewer Line? 1 r Now that the board of health has passed a rule which means that every person having a toilet with water j connection must provide a septic tank as a sewerage receptacle and as s this will mean that a considerable number of these tanks must be built, it seems to us that the best idea would be to get the city authorities * to build a central septic tank, say on } the power house lot, and let the * parties who have these toilets form a sewerage company and build sewer l lines to this tank. This it seems to . us would be just as cheap as a num; ber of tanks and would provide the ? town with the nucleus of a sewerage . system and will hasten the installation of a complete system of sewerage for the town. But so sure as any * considerable number of septic tanks ^ are built now (which would be thrown away in the event of sewers being put in by the town) we fear it would be many a year before any general sewerage system would be I put in, for no one who had spent * * - i consiaeracue money un a seynu iau^ * would vote for bonds for sewers. Let - us see if we can't get together on this matter and build the sewer lines as indicated above. The plan seems to L us to be practical, and it certainly would hasten the coming of a general j system. For our part we are willing to invest more money in the sewer line than a septic tank would cost us, and we believe there are others who ) feel the same way. This plan would not hurt the individuals who went into it and yet we would be doing a * good thing for the town. If any of those who have toilets will call at ' The Herald office we will be glad to * go over our plans with them in detail * in order that we may see if we all 1 cannot co-operate in this matter. ) -a t Wedded at McColl. McColl, June 28.?A wedding of * unusual interest to their many > friends throughout the State occurred 5 on Wednesday noon in Main Street 5 Methodist church when Miss Bess Gibson, the charming daughter of Mr. -k and Mrs. T. B. Gibson, became the 1 bride of Bissell Beach of Bamberg. The church decorations consisted 5 of luxuriant palms and cool garlands of smilax traced over the chancel L rail. Miss Leila Barnes of Maxton, i N. C., sang "To You" and "At Dawn . ing" to a violin obligatb by Miss Lalla . Byrd of Bamberg, with the organ ac. companiment by Miss Lura Heath of . Monroe, N. C. 5 The arrival of the wedding party t was announced by the wedding march t from Lohengrin and the following i were attendants: Miss Atlanta Gibl son, sister of the bride, was maid of ; honor, while Mrs, W. H. Fletcher was I dame of honor. The following were f bridesmaids: Miss Marie Gibson as i first bridesmaid, Miss Xan Easter5 ling, Ruth Easterling, Georgia Mason j and Julia Tatum of McColl; Zelma Rizer, Franke Folk and Annie Lou Byrd of Bamberg. The flower girls were: Margaret Tatum and Carrie Bell Fletcher and the ring bearer 3 was Tatum Fletcher. The groom was ? attended by H. B. Anderson as best man, of Bamberg. The bride was gowned in old rose crepe meteor with hat and gloves of similar color and with an exquisite shower bouquet of 3 bride roses and lilies of the valley " entered with her father, T. B. Gib" son, who gave her in marriage, the 1 Rev. J. T. Fowler officiating. Children's Day Exercises, r Editor The Bamberg Herald: - Please announce in the next issue of - The Herald that children's day exercises will be held at the Colston Bap1 tist church the first Sunday in July. - The exercises will begin at 10:30 o o'clock in the morning. An inter r esting program has been arranged g and the public is invited. Mr. Editor, we will be glad to have you attend. Dispensary Election Ordered. Supervisor E. C. Bruce, after a careful and thorough investigation of the dispensary petitions, has ordered an election on the whiskey question in this county, the election to be held August 19th. The petitions filed contained 633 names, and after representatives of the prohibitionists and dispensary had inspected same, the supervisor erased from the petitions 130 names, reducing the number to 503. The registration books of the county were then revised, and when this was done it was found that there were 12S2 registered voters in the county, and as the revised petitions showed 502 names there was still the necessary one-third to call the election, which has been done. So now we may expect a lively fight, and what the outcome will be is rather hard to forecast. Many people are opposed to the sale of liquor in any shape or form, and they will vote against the dispensary, while those who are now engaged in the illegal sale of liquor will no doubt vote for prohibition. FoIk-McMichael. The leading mid summer social event and one of the most brilliant church weddings which has been seen in this city for some time past was solemnized at St. Pauls Methodist church last evening at 7 o'clock, when Miss Simsie McMichael became the bride of Mr. H. X. Folk. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Watson B. Duncan, D. D., pastor of St Pauls, in the presence of a large number of admiring friends and relatives of the two young people. The church was most artistically arranged for the wedding. The decorations were most effective and elaborate. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Orangeburg Military Band Orchestra, and a pretty vocal solo was rendered by Miss Sue Walker. Promptly at the appointed hour, the bridal party entered the church in the following order: Ushers, Messrs. Randal Gillam, Whightman Whitaker, Frank Move and Henry Henderson. Then came Miss Elise Bates with Mr. Norman Kirsh. Miss Ella Dukes with Mr. Tillman Felder, Miss Elise Izlar with Mr. John Folk, Miss Edna Bates with Mr. Philip Murphy, Miss Leonard Folk with Mr. Clarence Black, Miss Marie Richardson with Mr. Harold Zeigler, Miss Bessie Thompson with Mr. Jim McGowan, Miss Christine Msllwain with Mr. Jimmie McMichael. The dames of honor were Mesdames R. D. McMichael and Cornelius McMichael. Misses Lile Wannamaker and Chivillette Izlar were the flower girls, while the ring bearer was Master Billy Doyle. The maid of honor was Miss Sybil Izlar, while the best man w*as Mr. Charlie Ayer. The bride, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. McMichael, in all her lovliness, entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Jerome B. McMichael, who gave ner a?aj. The bride is the center of a large number of admiring friends who will regret to lose her as a resident of this city, but who wish for her'a long and happy wedded life. This groom is a prominent young business man of Bamberg, and what has been Orangeburg's loss will be Bamberg's gain, for the two young people will make their future home in that place. Mr. and Mrs. Folk received a large number of wedding gifts attesting their popularity. The happy young couple left on the evening train for Asheville and other points in North Carolina for a stay of several weeks.?Orangeburg Evening News, June 26. To the Fiddlers. Fellow Fiddlers: Before coming to the convention, July 16th, we want - - ' J _ - you to tninK over me luea 01 some enlargment and competitive work. For instance, suppose we organize, form a band, and challenge one of the adjoining counties, put up prizes ?best band takes first prize, and so on; of course prizes will be paid for out of door receipts to concerts. Let the fiddlers elect or select the best players For such occasions, and appoint or elect officers and judges. Then we may go a step further: onehalf of the State compete with the other half. These plans are meeting with tremendous success in other States and are helpful in a good many ways. Think it over, and let's be prepared to act, and have a great affair at our next meeting one year hence. SECRETARY. Sunday Services.

Editor The Bamberg Hera So Bamberg county is to reo; the question of dispensary or no i pensary. More's the pity. Why give prohibition a further trial? will be easier to continue prohibit than to reestablish it. Has it had a fair trial in the co ty? Because one set of officers not enforce the law is no reason \ another set cannot be found who v Jn Jim Wyman you had a man v the courage of his convictions, at county seat, who made law-break respect the law. At Olar Rizei doing what he can to suppress sale, and at Denmark somebody on the job of upholding the law. Don't let the thought take i in you that the law cannot be forced if the officers of the law ^ it to be enforced. They may 1 some friends for a time, but they gain the respect of even the 1 breakers. See what one man can do. Barnwell one man, a preacher, s gested that if the mayor could stop the sale of whiskey, to "get of the box" and let a man get in t could. He took the hint, got ( and another got in and is enforc the law. although threats against life have been made. Who does admire such grit and courage? have but one time to die. and if th men who for the sake of a few pa! dollars sell their souls and damn souls of hundreds of others, want life blood of officers of the law i a glorious death to die, defend the women and children of the co try. At our town one man got u] citizens' meeting, after the minisl had preached against the lawlessr in the town, and asked the tc council to meet with us. The co cil was surprised that the sentim against whiskey selling was so strc and was assured that we were re; with our lives and property to as them in the enforcement of the 1 Next morning a representative b< of citizens went with the mayor suspected places and told the ke ers that the law against the sale whiskey had to be obeyed. A 1 days later that same man saw bari of beer being draved through streets and had it seized. Since tl the law may have been violated, not as much so as some other laws the statute books.
