The Hag of Carlisle school was raised to half mast last Saturday in memory of Chief Justice White, who died last week, and whose funeral was held Saturday at noon. Friends in Bamberg of the Rev. Luther Briagers, who recently conducted a two-weeks revival at Trinity church, will be interested to know . that he is now conducting a revival in Edgefield at the Methodist church. Mr. Jenkins is in charge of the singing. Farmers continue to report the presence of cotton boll weevils on their farms. It is said that one can visit almost any field in the county and find myriads of the insects. It seems to be certain that the weevils are going to devastate the cotton fields this year as never before. Married, last week, the Rev. S. O. Cantey performing the ceremony, Miss Thelma Priester and James Vernon McMillan, both of this county. The young people have many! friends throughout this section, j whose best wishes for a happy;married life are bestowed upon them. \ The Herald is requested to make "the following announcement: Thej ^ juvenile music club of the Ehrhardtj high school will render a programme, | "In Tovland," in the school audito-l-i rium Friday evening May 27th, 8:00: o'clock. A recital will be given by! the students' music club on the evening of May 31st, at 8:00 o'clock. An aggregation, 'The Lucky Min-jJ strels," composed of Allendale tal- j < ent, gave a performance at Carlisle j school last Friday evening. Unfor-(i tunatelv, inclement 'weather prevail-'1 ed, and the attendance was *very,< small. For an amateur performance, j j the minstrels were very creditable,'! and delighted \hose who braved the | weather to see the show. The enter-' tainment cons'sted of black faced comedians, singing, and all the other:{ things usual to ministrelsy. This j was the first performance away from j home, and although the lass was j rather heavy, the manager says they ( are not disappointed. ] :mt m J Story of a Boy Who Stuck. i i ( The next time you visit Aiken, lit-1 tie Mr. Country Boy, you with the!, homespun shirt and the blue denim j. breeches, just you ask pa to take you . , ( over Brooklyn way for a short walk, j Go down the street by the postoffice! until you come to a large beautiful j( (.artisticallv facaded residense. "Rose-!. I J bank" they call it and it is most ap- j propriately named. When you reach the bright, big, j newly adorned home with its magnifi-j j cent show of shrubbery, flowers and | its general air o fease^nd refinement, j 1 tell pa this little story?and it is not , a f2iry tale, either: ( One time a long time ago, there; lived in a little country place in the ( cold, cold Northland a little farmer . boy whose parents were poor. True , they had plenty of good warm clothes , and abundance of food but they had j but little money. The little chap when ( he reached "yearling age" had to go; to work, so he got him a job in a \ country store. Every night when he } knocked off work he went to his room ] and he studied, studied, studied! He played sometimes, too. He loved ( baseball and they say he was a crack- \ a-jack on the old home team. Bye and t bye he knew just lots, he was pert in thought and apf in learning. He tried 4 for a scholarship and he won; this brought him. with a small aid from home, clean through one of the biggest universities in the Northland. When he left the university he took with him his desrree as an electrical engineer?he didn't tail his class, i either. His bright mind now highly pol- 1 . ished swerved him toward the great i steel indusHy and he got him another job, this time with the big Bethlehem ^ Steel Company. He worked and he worked. One day 1 his "boss," who had only been a poor boy and who had made his great : wealth by hard, untiring labor and solid judgment, passed him by and J saw the sweat dripping from his fore- : head. Hiss "boss" inquired who he ; was from one of the managers. From 1 that day he was marked for advancement. His wages were increased into a "salary" and then into an "honoraium," (that's what they call big men's wages) until the sum today-is over ten hundred thousand dollars per year! The little boy today owns Rosebank. one of the finest winter homes in exclusive Aiken, the Newport of the south, for he is President Eugene G. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Cornpan}* and master of millions! Moral: Stick to your books, little boy, and then stick to your job.?Aiken Journal and Review. * WILL ATTEND SHOUT COURSE. i Delegates Announced from Uamberg I County. OHier Visitors.

WANT NEW SAVANNAH BRIDGE. Allendale People Take Steps to Consctruct Needed Crossing.

C! 11 V? "5 1CI 1 v IVJ 111^ O VJ L4 t II > V CI O lii\u \s *an enthusiastic meeting of citizens held here Friday afternoon. A party of citizens from Screven county arrived in Allendale about 12 o'clock and held a short meeting with citizens at Fairfax at 1 o'clock, returning here about 3 o'clock, at which time the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in this town on a public question of this kind was held. The Screv! en county delegation, headed by Dr. I John Maner and J. E. Twitty, brought into Allendale county about the most I enthusiasm ever exhibited here by a' party on any proposition of this na- j ture and when they left Allendale county citizens were just as interested in the proposition as the Georgia delegation. Mr. Twitty, who is a surveyor and a citizen of Sylvania, has spent some time in the investigation of this proposition and his conclusions have been that the bridge "over the Savannah at some point between the two points mentioned would serve the interest of the general public to greater advantage than at any?bther point beween Savannah and Augusta. It would open up a new connecting link on the northern highways and would accommodate the best kind of tourists' traffic through this section, it was pointed out. His remarks,, together with similar ones by Dr. Maner and others of the Georgia delegation, attracted great attention from the Allendale citizens and enthusiasm is rife here in the consummation of the proposition. James M. Patterson, of Allendale, presided over the meeting and upon ? x ?

One committee composed of three men from Screven county and three from Allendale couhty and to bo -known as the investigation committee and to meet at some early date and go over the entire proposition in regard to cost and to secure the interest of the federal government, the state highway departments of both Georgia and South Carolina, and also to solicit general interest among the private citizens along the route. The Allendale members of this committee are: J. E. Bryan, chief commissioner of Allendale county; J. L. Oswald and R. P. Searson. Ani other commission is to go over the entire situation and select the best and most economical location for the bridge. Mr. Patterson, of Allendale, and J. E. Twitty, of Sylvania, were selected on this committee. It is the plan of the committees to-get into this work immediately and when their information has become available to give a big rally at some point on the Savannah river at which time further plans will be made for the carrying out of this proposition. Turn Over, Pop. "I dread the time when men will be wearing" paper suits." "What's your objection? They'll be cheap." "I know, but my wife will make me wear the comic sheets to amuse the kids."

J Some Glimpses oil the Farm of James II Guess, Jr., of Denmark. J On the farm which I visited, sple.n- I did fields of corn, velvet beans and I peanuts were in evidence. I visited I the dairy there and met Mr. Carmi- I chael, the dairy man. He stated that f| he was. milking 26 cows, all Guern- m seys, some fresh and others far spent and offering small quantities of milk. 0 He is shipping 011 an average of 63 gallons of sweet milk daily. The Jg Guernsey is proving to be a splendid Jg dairy cow. A creamery here would prove a great asset to its owners, surrounding communities and co-opr j erators: The oat crop is coming into prom| inence in our county. Mr. Guess ? j and a goodly number of other lead- ^. ing farmers planted oats very largely last season and have harvested great Quantities of this crop. Mr. Guess said that he planted 225 acres of oats last season. He is still friendly to the crop and many of the fine oats harvested are to be threshed for 9 seed. He, no doubt, will plant a 8 much larger acreage in oats next season. It is hoped- that the time fl will come when at the proper season, J|l| j great fields of this two-fold grain B| crop can be seen, waving and ripen- v WJ ing on every farm in our beloved gllj country, whose cotton producing IS qualities and possibilies are liovered Bfi over by the coming ravages of the mm boll weevil.-^E.

The vessel jfjffij was traveling at a speed of. 10 knots Bjjn per hour at the time, and, as a re- 88 suit of the sudden release of the Hfl locking gear, the rudder took charge, 19 and caused the ^steamer ^o sheer off jffl her course.

On a subsequent <|g trip the rudder was found to be 'dam- 119 as:ed. and the steamer was with- jfl drawn and sent for repairs. The al- |B9 batross, a fine specimen, was meas- Bl ured by one of the deck hands, and B| found to cover ten feet from tip to H| tip of the wings. The skipper at first mistook the bird for a sheet of Sgl newspaper swept off the deck by a Wm squall. The bird only missed the glass enclosed wheelhpuse by a cou pie of feet. , V H SPECIAL NOTICES.
