Automobilists are now required to * * - ? ^~ -1-a. ?_ j _ parK tneir cars on uie rigui. siue ui Main street; that is, cars going north must park on the east side of the street, and those going south must park on the west side. This is undoubtedly a good regulation, and no doubt the wisdom of it will be fully appreciated by the public. L?-r ^ A gentleman who resided in Bamberg for a while had to move his family away because he could not secure a house; but he continued his office here. Now he likes the_otner town so well, he contemplates moving his office there as well. Here is an instance of the town losing by not having houses for newcomers. Much rain has fallen in the vicinity of Bamberg within the past two weeks. The rain were, in many instances. accompanied by disastrous hail storms, and considerable damage has been reported from different sections of the county. The grass is growing fast, but good weather is prevailing at present, and the far- , mers are not blue by any means. MrrTLaVerne Thomas has purchased from Mr. J. G. Black the Thielen Theatre, Mr. Black having entered tne navai service. Air. rnomas assumed control of the theatre Monday. Mr. Black's many friends regret to see him leave the city; he is a splendid young fellow, well liked by everybody. Under Mr. Thomas's management, the theatre will be carried on as usual. Bamberg was closed up tight last Sunday, City council'recently decided to enforce the Sunday laws, and as a consequence those accustomed to their morning "dope" had to dispense with it Sunday, and those who did not /get their cigars Saturday missed their usual Sunday smokes. As usual on such occasions, some are in favor and some vociferously opposed to the enforcement of the Sunday laws. The Herald, management is in hopes of having everything in smooth running order within the next few days, the work of replacing the decayed floor with permanent concrete and cement has been completed. The motors?six in number?are yet to be set in place, and there is yet some painting to be done. We have been thrown considerably behind with our work, but will get out all work just as soon as possible. This issue of the paper is a day late, on account of the unavoidable delay caused by the work in the office. Sheriff Ray confiscated thirty-six quarts of whiskey last week at Denmark. The whiskey had been checked as baggage from Jacksonville to Warenvilie, Aiken county, and the owner is unknown. Forty-three negroes from South Carolina have been accepted as applicants for the training camp at Des Moines, Iowa, for negro officers in the national army. Among them are Caleb J. Archer and Samuel J. Wiiloughoy, both of Denmark. In the last issue of The Herald it was stated that Miss Grace Hill had returned from the hospital. This was an error. Miss Hill is still confined to the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. Her many friends in the county wish for her an early recovery and for her return home. Death of Mrs. H. C. Bishop.
