Bamberg Cotton Mill. The passenger trains over the South Carolina division of the Southern, no longer stop at the old South Carolina yards, in Augusta, going in or coming out of the city, to let off or take on passengers, as has been the custom so long. Those who cannot step from the train as it passes through the city, will have to go through to the Union depot in the western part of the city. Bear this in mind when you go to Augusta.

O'Dell preached to a i good congregation in the graded school building on Sunday after- < noon, and at the close of the servi- : ces called for a fising vote by all present who desired a church for I the benefit of those living on the J west side of town, whereupon almost the entire congregation arose, J and thus exprejsed their wish for it. '< A neat chapel somewhere in the neighborhood of the graded school i would furnish a convenient place of ' worship for the operatives in the cotton mill, and people living in i that locality, and would n> doubt be a great benefit to the mill, as people desire a convenient place of worship wherever they may be. We i hope to see this mufch needed enter- > prise carried to completion, and if every one will lend a helpiug hand, it may be done without much strain on any. Messrs. Sam B. Rhea and C. R. Day, of the cotton mill, were added to the-committee recently appointed by the quarterly conference to look after this matter, aud no doubt a neat little church will soon be the result of their efforts. Salesday. A good crowd was in town last Monday, and wo were gratified at the number who called in and ? ? . i m?? squared up witn x?ns There was uo druukenuess, and the day was a quiet one. There were no sales by the Clerk or Sheriff. The property advertised in the Youman vs. Bennett case was not soid on account of a restraining order by Judge Pope. It is possible that the case wilL, be heard in the Supreme Court after all. The Master sold two pieces of property, the first being 257 acres near the town of Denmark in the case of F. M. Bamberg vs. J. C. Tant and others. It was bought by Vfr H. CL Folk for S3,890. The bidding was lively, and all couceded that the land brought a good price. The other tract was fifty acres, in the case of Augusta Kirkland vs. W. W. Hutto, bid in by H. F. Rice, Esq., for plaintiff's attorney, for fifty dollars. Then She Called the Dog.

In an editorial advocating the erection of a spinning: mill to workup into yarn our famous long staple cotton, which would increase the value of that product, if every pouud grown was thus utilized, from $600,000 to $12,000,000 yearly, the Charleston News and Courier of November 2 pays the following high compliment to President W. G. Smith, and the high grade of goods made in the BambergCotton Mill: We may note, finally, that there was placed on public exhibition in this office two or three years ago a pair of as fine and beautiful "lace curtains" as are usually seen for sale in our stores, which were woven in one of the Northern mills, and the thread of which was spun in the little mill at Bamberg, under the direction of its manager, Mr. W. G. Smith, who was trained in another South Carolina mill at Spartanburg. He is doubtless still engaged in making such "yarns" and can doubtless still exhibit the very fine fabrics made from them to all who desire to see them. If our white labor suffices, with proper direction and machinery, for spinning such yarn from short staple cotton it ought to suffice, under like conditions, for like work with long staple cotton. Arbor Day. The third Friday in November of each year has been designated by the legislature of South Carolina as Arbor Day, and County Superintendent Sease has received the following communication from State Superintendent McMahan, who is endeavoring to have a general ob- 1 servance of the day: The legislature, by an act approved * Fehrnarv 16. 1898. has directed "that the ' free public schools of this State shall ob- ' serve the third Friday in November of . each year as Arbor Day, and on that day the school officers and teachers shall conduct such exercises and engage in the planting of such shrubs, plants, and trees as will impress on the minds of the pupils the proper value and appreciation to be placed on flowers, ornamental shrub- 1 bery, and shade trees." ( Until the observance of this day in our i schpolshas become an established cus- i torn, it may be overlooked unless spec- ^ ially brought to the attention" of the J teachers. You will, therefore, urge up- 1 on all the teachers of your county to ( celebrate the day in their schools. . - ( Our New Press. ] This is probably the last issue of 1 The Herald that will be printed on the detestable "Prouty Press," i which caused so much trouble to s the Devil, the Printer, and the Boss, ] in that newspaporial serial, "The s Passing of the Quarto Herald." t We have worn out our remaining ] stock of patience on this old bunch t of scrap iron, or will have done so I when the last sheet of this issue is t printed, aud we have purchased a I sure-enough printing machine, of g the reliable make of C.

D__ IIIL JL?vn II a ^1 u.w.j J officiating. The groom is Bamberg's efficient chief of police, which position he has held for several years, to the terror of evil doers and the betterment of the morals of the town. The "chief" is a very modest mau, aud not given to blowing his own horn. This, then, is a good oppor tnnity to commend him for the excellent work he has done upon our , city's streets since they have been under his charge, and for the very able manner in which he has dis charged his sometimes disagreeable and at all times onerous police duties. The bride is one of our brightest and most charming young ladies, and her host of friends will join The Herald in wishing her and "hers" long life and unbounded felicity. , For the present Mr. aud Mrs. Price will make their home with Mr. Joseph Dickinson. That Dispensary Money. The statement has been made in the daily papers that Bamberg county is to receive from the dispensary fund the stun of $302.60, which amount makes up the deficiency of , $3 per capita for school children. The State of Tuesday is authority for the statement that checks had been sent to twenty-nine counties re- 1 ceiving a portion of this fund, Out Treasurer Dickinson has not vet re- < ceived the check for this county, < nor is he in possession of any au- J thentic information that such a J check has been sent. t Monday uight County Superin- * tendent Sense did receive a circular 1 letter asking him to send the total enrollment of school children in the county, so that some dispensary money at the disposal of the Comp troller General might be disbursed on the basis of this enrollment. That's the story ih a nutshell. ? m r Spain's Greatest Need. b Mr.. R. P. Olivia of Barcelona. ~ Spain, spends his winters at Aikiii, S. C.
