It should also be stated that J. F.
folk's round bale ginnery not only saves
the farmer money, but it downs the cot-!

the cotton .compress combine. We believe j
our farmers are going to prefer thp round
bale instead of the old sfvle square one,
and certainly they need to' take advantage
pdLeyery means of reducing the expense
of pttfting-their cotton on the market.

The graded school trustees held a meeting
a few days ago and elected three adiitional
teachers, as follows: Mrs. J. A.
Murdaugh, Bamberg; Miss ret ?tepnens,
Dolleton: and Miss Lillier Stevens, Lancaster.
Miss Belle McKewn, of Orangeburg,
was elected alternate teacher, in
case any of the others should fail to accept.
It was decided to open the school
about the 18th of September.
We regret that our paper was late test
issue, and will he a^aiu this issue, but we
could not help it. The rollers for our new
press did not arrive, and, although we
bad the paper ready, we could not print
it. We hope that our friends will bear
with us for the present. We have had a
jreat deal of vexation and annoyance
jetting the press in shape, and it is not
right yet. We hope, howeyer, to get out
the next issue on time.

Bamberg Guards Organijcd.
The young men of the town met,
last Wednesday evening at the armory
and reorganised the Bamberg
Guards.
Maj. Havelock Eaves was called
to the chair, and explained the object
of the meeting, the benefits to
be derived from a military company
in our county, etc. The following
officers were then elected:
f Caufcain?Havelock Eaves.
Firift Lieutenant?W. R. Wright.
Second Lieutenant?D, Dowling.

Ott. W. 0. Dickinson, E. C. Hunter.
Corporals?I. B. Felder, H. J.

The company was then formed,
and, after a short practice drill, was
dismissed till further orders.
We hope that our citizens will
support the company liberally, in
order that the organization may be
made one of which we all may be
proud. r?he young men give their
rime and money to t}je cause, and
surely our citizens will give them
all the financial assistance they may
need.
Summer School.
The summer school for teachers,
in charge of Mr. A. J. Thackston

Those attending the school are
highly pleased with the instructors,
and seem to realize and, appreciate
the benefits to be derived from these
institutes. The State Board of Education
has issued instructions to
its school trustees that those who
attend the summer schools are to be
given the preference in the employ^
ment of teachers, go' tho$e iii attendance
here will have a decided
advantage over those teachers \yho
have staid away.

Passing of the Quarto Herald.
The mechanical mountains of difficulty
which have been almost insurmountable
obstacles in the path
of publication of the "New Her-|
ald," have so seriously delayed the
issuance of this paper?therefore restricting
its space?that "Secundo,"
of the above captioned article, has
to go over until our next publication
day.
It relates the mishaps and difficulties
which marked the journey
of the Printer and the Devil, across
! the country to Orangeburg, to get
printed the forms for the issue of
The Herald dated July 13, and is
as full of the tragedy of despair^and
the comedy of failure, as the article
which described the "Setting up of
the Press."
It was the original purpose of the
writer to relate the story in two
j numbers, but the crowding in of
new experiences makes it necessary
to publish three articles. In our
next issue will appear the "JSecundo,"
and the following week we
shall print the "Tertio"and final in
stalment of as interesting a story of
difficulties overcome as the average
man ever reads.
Card of Thanks,
To the Voteis of Bamberg County:
Please accept my most sincere
and hearty thanks and appreciation

assure you that I shall endeavor to
perform the duties thereof with the
utmost care and prudence, and in
keeping with the honor which you
have bestowed upon me.

Datyel Pratt Pnenmatie System, and
the Lowry Pre*s,
Mr. J no. F. Folk is putting in at Bamberg
a modern ginnery, strictly up-to-date
in every respect, including the Lowry
Press. In conversation with Mr. Folk
tye Jearp that he is prepared to put in an
1 old:tinje square hale press on short notice,
if'his patrons walit it, hut that he
feels satisfied that they will not want the
old style after they have once tried the
Lowry bale, for the following reasons:
If they take a bale of cotton to an pldr
time ginnery, they pay $i} for ginning
and packing. Put this down on one side.
If they take it to his improved system of
gins and have it put up on the Lowry
Press, it costs him $i for ginning, $i for
compressing, and 44 cents for wire and
ducking covering for the two bales, making
a total of 52.44. Now, on account of
the cotton beiug put up in this shape, the
owner is guaranteed I2.25 more for it than
for the same cotton in the square bales.
Take this amount from $2.44 and we have
19 cents left, the amount that it has actually
cos't'the planter to haVe his cotton
ginned.
The ten thousand bales of cotton put
up in the old style, which are sold in
Bamberg every year, represent $10,000
for ginning. Put up on the I<Qwry press,
that amount of cotton will represent
$1,900, a saving to the planters of $8,100,
if all the cotton was put up in Lowry
bales.
Mr. Folk claims thaWhe will be able to
produce a better sample from the same
seed cotton 011 his system of gins, than is
made by the average ginner, and his
claim in this respect appears entirely reasonable.
The capacity of Mr. Folk's outfit
is thirty-five bales per day;

Editor The Bamberg Herald:
,f There are some things that grow old
3; but still retain youthful vigor. "Our
>- school commencement!" What a
great thing it is to the youthful
mind! Can anything new be said
h in regard to it? No, but it always
d seems new to the youthful particin
pant. The preparation of the nice
> little speech; the new stage dress;
,r the anticipation of social chat; and
s last, but not least, appetites tempted
and satiated.
1? Tfte commencement exercises of
^ the Two Mile Swamp School were
c held on July 21st. It can betruth,t

As evidence of the esteem in

he was twice elected to the Legislature,
and served this county as
Treasurer from 1890 to the time of
t his death. He was a zealous and
painstaking official.
In the affairs of life he did not
forget his duty to his Maker. He
was a consistent member of the

building from Cairo to the Pyramids,
with some remarkable pictures of those

prehensive and richly illustrated reveiw
of New York society; to the prize article
on "Your True Relation to Society" rand
thence to Ireland to listen to a "child of

and the part peat plays in it. Back to f
Omar's invasion of Egypt the reader r
goes, and then tj take a peep at the art
and methods of the late Augustin Daly, I
and to see a magnificent portfolio of Daly
productions, Daly actors, and Daly
himself. From Daly, the reader goes to V
Cuba, and thrills with interest at the well* f
told adventures of a young man who car
ried mail and military documents to
Gomez by the "Underground" route. And
to add to this there are four short stories,
all excellent, and the longest is by that
prince of tale-makers, Frank R. Stockton.
