The friends of Thomas Ducker are j glad to see him out again after a painful illness of four weeks of influenza. Practically all of the tobacco planters now have their plants set out, and the work of replanting is being carried on. Most tobacco fields are reported to be doing fine. Th^ siis^ar shortage has been felt lately by many Bamberg families. Several times recently all of the merchants have been out of sugar, which is selling,,when it 'can be had at all, at aji enormous price. Work on the handsome new home of A. M. Denbow is progressing rapidly. The lumber for the house is ready cut and in shape to be put together. The residence will be completed in a few weeks, and will be quite an addition to the neighborhood. The weather for the past few days has been very pleasant indeed, though our farmer friends tell us that pleasant weather is just not what they need right now. They further inform us that as long as covering is needed to sleep comfortably at night cotton will not grow as it should. The Oak Grove schol closed last Saturday with a picnic at the school house. Misses Edith White and Hattie Howie were the teachers during the past term. Miss White has returned home, and Miss Howie is spending a few days with her before going to her home in Darlington. Carlisle lost two games Friday and Saturday to Richmond academy of Augusta. The first game was won by the academy 8 to 0, while Saturday's game went to Augusta 9 to 6. Both games were played in the morning 'on account of the Chautauqua attractions in the afternoon. Thursday morning Carlisle won a game from the Bamberg base ball team. * The Herald received an interesting social news item from a contributor at Ehrhardt for this week's issue, but it cannot be printed because the writer omitted his or her name^ We have repeatedly called attention to the fact that communications for publication must be signed.

Dickinson's Holdings in Denmark Plant. ] The Denmark Oil and Fertilizer 1 company recently changed hands, G. { Moye Dickinson disposing of his stock ( in the mill to J. A. Wyman. Mr. Dick- ^ inson has owned and operated the * Denmark plant for the past several ( years, and under his control the mill ^ has become one of the leading manu- 1 facturing plants in this section. The purchase of the Denmark plant by Mr. Wyman will not in any way change 1 the status of the mill as a Denmark 1 enterprise, and it will be operated : as a business separate and distinct 1 from the Cotton Oil company of Bamberg, which is also owned by Mr. : Wyman. ' ' ] Mr. Wyman states that the mill will in the near future be enlarged and improved. The plant is already equipped in a small way for the handling of the peanut business, and if the acreage in peanuts warrants it extensive enlargements to take care of this business will be installed. It is also contemplated that a peanut shelling plant will be installed if conditions demand it, as well as the installation of a more extensive fertiliser works. The ginnery is to be improved, and will be under the management of competent assistants. J. R. McLellan, now manager of the plant, will continue in this capacity. Mr. Wyman also wishes the announcement made that the Denmark Oil and Fertilizer company will be in the market this season for the purchasing of peanuts. , OLD SOLDI KILS IIONOIiKI). Di'. H. Snyder Speaks at Memorial Day f\\ei rises. Confederate memorial day was celebrated in Bamberg .Monday, Dr. Henry Xelson Snyder, president' of Wofford college, being the speaker of the day. Following the address, dinner was served on the court house grounds to all Confederate veterans and the local veterans of the world war. About 11 o'clock, the veterans formed in line at the postoffice. The Carlisle school band headed the parade. The Confederate veterans were followed by the world war veterans anri thp padpts of Carlisle school. Twenty-four old veterans were present on the occasion, quite a large number, considering the fast diminishing grey-clad heroes. Forty-one boys of the late war were in line. The graves of the Confederate veterans and the Confederate monument were decorated as usual with beautiful flowers. The memorial exercises were held on the court house green, Mrs. J. C. Lewis, president of the Fancis M. Bamberg chapter of the U. D. C., presiding. After Mrs. Lewis had called the meeting to order, invocation was asked by the Rev. S. 0. Cantey. A brief but very appropriate welcome was extended on behalf of the U. D. C. chapter by Mrs. Glenn W. Cope. Coroner J. H. Zeigler was to have responded to the welcome on behalf of the old veterans, but he was unable to be present on vaccount of illness. J. C. Kearse, Esq., responded to the welcome on behalf of the boys of the world war. ^ Ar?o f at* af f L / /lor T~h tr/1 ay* i iic viaiui ul lijjc u.at> , J-vi . kj.ii,* uci, was presented by Mrs. Lewis. Dr. Snyder delivered a most appropriate, as well as interesting and instructive, address in his usual fluent manner. Dr. Snyder is himself the son of a Confederate veteran and his mother also served the Confederacy for two years in the hospitals. The first suit of clotlies Dr. Snyder wore when a small boy was made from the cloth of his father's grey Confederate uniform. *T wonder if there are many of us now who can understand the motives that inspired you veterans in the sixties," said Dr. Snyder, and he explained that there are few persons who really appreciate the great principles involved in that great war. "I think of you as makers of great history," he said, for the principles fought for in the Confederate war lived, though the cause for which they fought was lost, and these principles were as deep as the Anglo-Saxon race. He reviewed the struggles of the Anglo-Saxons to give the world freedom and add ed, "You fought for one more advanced step in free government." The fight was not in vain, and the world was made better for the valor of the Confederacy. "You have left to us imperishable memories of a high and invincible manhood. Never did men fight foi more or accomplish more than did the armies of the Confederacy," said the speaker. In a military way, the south accomplished the wonderful. In all there were 900,000 soldiers in ^the armies of the south, while the north [marshaled forces aggregating more than 3,000,000, "and yet you held them, and beat them back, for four vears," although the north controlled all the manufactures, munitions and aquipment, but "you did not have to make your own guns, you captured them from the northern armies." A beautiful tribute was paid to the aeloved generals of the Confederacy. Or. Snyder said that General Lee as a military genius has never been excelled. In one of the major battles af the war Lee with 30,000 troops tilled of the enemy 60,000,. each southern soldier accounting for two )f the enemy in killed, a record which lias perhaps never been equaled in modern times. "You have left us rich in memories ttiiich we cannot forget. Through all the ages your deeds of valor will be spoken; they will be recalled when another great crisis comes, if one :loes come, as they were recalled in 1917, when the sons of the north and the sons of the south went to France, for we are your spiritual heirs." At the conclusion of the address, the Carlisle band played a number of southern airs, ending with "Dixie." Pile bendiction was pronounced by the J Rev. George P. White. Mitchell-Tant. Lonnie Tant, who has a position in Bamberg, and Miss Ozetta Mitchell, of Denmark, were quietly married at the Baptist parsonage in Denmark May 6th, Rev. O. J. Frier officiating. These young people will make their home in Bamberg for the present. There will be a play, "Hazel Adams," at Hunter's Chapel school Friday evening, May 14, beginning at 8:30 o'clock. Admission 25 and 15 jents. ltp ] * DEATH OF M1 IS. J. I>. BLACK. Beloved Christian Woman Expired Here Sunday Afternoon. Mrs. Sarah Harriet Black died at her ?home in Bamberg late Sunday afternoon, following an illness of only five days. Few persons knew of her serious illness until the end was near. She was surrounded by loving relatives and friends when the angel of death visited the home and relieved her of her suffering. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at three o'clock, and interment took place at Southend cemetery. The services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. George P. White, assisted by the Rev. S. O. Cantey. The grave was completely covered with numerous beautiful floral tributes from friends and relatives. Mrs. Black was the daughter of the late Frederick Charles and Mary Aver. She was born in the Ehrhardt section, then in Barnwell county, 64 years ago, and has always resided in this county. Forty-seven years ago she was married to Dr. J. B. Black, who for the last several years has been state senator from this county. She is survived by her devoted husband, Dr. Black, and the following children: M. J. Black, Mrs. F. W. Free, Dr. Robert Black, Dr. Thomas Black, C. E. Black, and Misses Ethel and Urma Black, all residents of this city. Two brothers, L. M. Ayer and M. E. Ayer, and one sister, Mrs. Carrie Brabham, also survive Mrs. Black. Mrs. Black was a member of the Bamberg Baptist church and a consecrated Christian woman. She was held in the fondest affection and love by her many relatives and friends, and the news of her death was reeived with great sorrow. In her home life Mrs. Black might truly be des cribed as a model wife and mother. Her constant care was for the comfort and happiness of-her loved ones and those about her, and her entire life was one of uselfish service to others. Her service extended not only to those immediately about her but to all. POSTOFFICE ADVANCES. Bamberg Of!ice Goes to Second Class 011 July 1st. Official notice has been received that the Bamberg postoffice will be advanced to second class. The new new rating becomes effective on July 1st, next. The advance in the class of the postoffice would have been made before, but no offices have been promoted on account of the war. The business of the Bamberg postoffice has grown steadily during the past few years, this growth being one of the.best evidences of the growth of Bamberg, if not numerically, certainly in a business sense. With the advance of the office from third to second class, more help will be provided for the postoffice. ^ io) ? FIRST NATIONAL CHARTERED. Enterprise Bank Becomes First National Institution in County. Friday the officials of the Enterprise Bank received official notice that a charter had been granted to the j "First National Bank of Bamberg, S. C.," this bank having some time ago applied for a charter. This progressive banking institution has now become the first national bank of Bamberg county. The capital stock of. the bank is $30,000* and it is stated that the capital is to be increased soon to $50,000. Col. W. A. Klauber is president of the bank; Dr. Robert E'.lack, vice president, and W. D. Coleman, cashier. The bank has a strong board of directors behind it, and a rapid growth is promised the institution. n o > ^ LARGE REAL ESTATE DEAL. John M. Farrell Farm Bought for Sum of $258,000. Williston, May 7.?One of the largest real estate transactions ever made in Barnwell county was made here yesterday when a stock company composed of W. D. Black, I. A. Kennedy, R. E. Martin and L. M.

Smoak has proclaimed J May 17 to 21 clean-up week in Bam berg. On tliese dates every resident r of Bamberg is asked to contribute his * or her efforts toward making Bam^ berg a cleaner, brighter, healthier and better place to live. The board of health will assist the people in every - way possible, as will also the city officials. The malaria control authoriy ties will likewise cooperate. By get9 ^ ^ _ ting ail tne agencies or irie cuy 10 g work it is hoped to make the week b a great success. e The idea is to get busy during _ clean-up week and clean and bright2 en things in general. There is pera haps an accumulation of rubbish 3 about the house or yard or garden 3 or vacant adjoining lot that has hot e been attended to for some time. Now's i the time to get it. The campaign is If . to cover every phase of sanitation, 9 and therefore naturally includes the i . house. If there are broken screens, 0 have them properly attended to. If there's mites or "crawling things" j on the premises take positive steps to vacate them. g Especial attention is called just now to empty cans and water containe ers of every description about the . place. Be sure to see that not a receptacle is left on your property e which can hold water. The malaria j ( control work is now progressing satg isfactorily, but there may be many small places 01 mosquuo miecuon . about town that only careful per' sonal work can dispose of. Mosquitoes have already started to breed. Let everybody make a small effort and clean-up week can be a great' event in Bamberg. The city authoriq ties will see that all trash and garb4 age neatly piled on the edge of the! . streets is removed. GIRLS SMASH RECORDS. 1 Young Women of Winthrop Set New I Wo^d Marks. 0 Rock Hill, May 8.?Several world records in athletics in colleges for r young women were broken in a track " meet at Winthrop college. Miss Mary , Love McLure broke the world's record for the 60 yard hurdles, making the time 9.2 seconds. This record was s formely held ?>y teachers' college, II New York/ 0 Misses Mary Alexander and Lucile ? Godbold made the 100 yard hurdles in 15 seconds, thereby lowering the ' world's record, formerly held by New r Haven School of Gymnastics of 15.3 seconds. The basket ball throw record, held by Vassar college, of 38 feet and ten inches, was broken by Miss L. God* bold, who tossed the ball a distance of 39 feet an$ ten and one-half inches. The discus throw record, held already by Winthrop, of 80 feet and j eigm ana oiia-nan manes, was ujuacu by Miss L. Godbold, her distance being 89' feet and ten and one-half inches.

The sophomores were third with 39 points. Rivalry was intensely keen from start to finish I and the events were highly enjoyed l# by a large number. What He Wranted. a It was with high hopes that a commercial traveller called on a certain y tradesman. They had never done business together before, but a friend 5 had given him good introductions. "May I show you my samples, sir?" he asked, after they had exchanged greetings. "Certainly," said the tradesman, affably. And from an insignificant bag ^ the traveler produced a surprisingly y large selection of articles. Fe. pointed ^ or*t their different merits, and then waited. s t "Well, there's only ono thing I want," said the tradesman and the salesman beamed at the thought of ' opening a new acocunt. lie whipped out his notebook and waited expectantly. "What is it?" he asked. "A^ell," was the reply, "I want to V* Tr/~>n 'ro OTnnfT t n prpf fll] t h D ? e g OCC 11V/ W J W U I V/ ^VlUQ u V Q W % - ? ? samples back again into that bag." >m hi ?

Jf The Redpath Chautauqua was held M in Bamberg during the past week. '|j Ten attractions in all were given, j| two entertainments being given daily fl at 4:0.0 and 8:15 p. m. for five days. A varied programme was offered,and B there was something in the enter- | tainments to please all those who seek -A entertainment. While some of the :|j numbers appeared a bit "heavy"? J were "heavy" in fact?there was also -cfl liVht pntpriflinment The children M were not omitted in the programme, || and several numbers were especially 4 pleasing to the small tots, especially the last entertainment, when Reno, gj the magician, passed the magic wand promiscuously over various things J and objects and brought forth shouts 3 of delight from the little folks, and ^ the big ones too. j J The musical programme was, for | the most part, rather too classical m for the ordinary mortal. In order to J gm appreciate it one would have to be I more of a student of art than most 1 folks elect to be. But, then, the band concert of Kryl was about all one could desire in band music, and the programme was varied enough to please almost any audience. f The lectures which are always difficult for an average audience, were high class and very instructive indeed for those who seek information in lectures. The lecture by Bennett ^ was, in addition to being instructive, 1 highly entertaining and was spicy J enough. The others were more or less what the average person would term "high brow" stuff. The comedy, "It Pays to Advertise," was hilariously joyful, and un | usually pleasing. Tnose wno nave 1 seen the play in the best theatres J say that the play was quite up to the ' standard. The advertiser in* the "M newspapers and otherwise after see- fl ing this play can see his money go % out with a pleasant look.. ^9 The children's pageant Monday ofternoon was really good, and for the short practice that was given it de. serves high praise. > The last night's entertainment was ^ in a class by itself, so far os pleasing 4 the audience is concerned. It was de-* j - f * cidedly the most popular number ton the programme. The entire programme as given appears to have pleased the people of Bamberg. Splendid patronage was given the Chautauqua, and it is understood that fl not only were the expenses met but * 9 that the Music club, under whose ? auspices the attractions were brought here, cleared some money.* The ladies of the club worked faithfully for the success of the entertainment, and deserved any profits they made. nson nu o^nrivirc il VXXlll/ VI" X111XX111.^* VJ We wish to take this means of ex- i pressing our sincere thanks for the 9 many kindnesses to us during our 1 recent bereavement, for the kind ex- ? pressions of sympathy, and for the numerous beautiful floral tributes.
