The local weather prophets do not look
for much cold this side of Christmas.
This weather is^ertainly charming, but
there is some rough days ahead. So look
out!
We are still of the opinion that cotton
will take an upward move in price before
long.
Good cotton ?is selling at 7I cents today.
Receipts of the week about 2.?0
bales.
Beautiful albums and toilet cases, all
i i.
prices, at isrooser s.
Mr. W. W. Lightsey lost his pony last
Saturday. Death resulted from blind
staggers.
Th< postoffice, bank and county offices
will be closed next Thursday, that being
a legal holiday.
We have not heard a complaint of
hard times this fall. Remarkable contrast
with last fall.
Reports from eveiy section of the
county indicate a large area planted in
oats and wheat. Good news, this is.
Wanted?First-class beef cattle on
hoof. Will pay best prices.

We want a copy of The Bamberg

"MV TT a Par has received his com
mission as magistrate, and has opened up
for business. His office is located in the
small building back of the dispensary.
It is rumored that several deals are on
foot, and that the Bamberg Telephone
Exchange will change hands, and the
lines and service be very much improved.
Charleston's Gala Week festivities are
now in full blast. Bamberg, as usual, has
a number of .representatives among the
thousands of pleasure seekers now in the
old city.
The' sowing of small grain is general
throughout the county, and the results of
the return to wheat raising is bound to
be felt in'the matter of making the farm
self-sustaining.
Mrs. C. Ehrhardt, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ehrhardt
and children, of Ehrhardt, Bamberg
Countv, came up Monday on a visit
to Mrs. H. F. Cline and family.?Newberry

Mt. Thomas J. Simmons, who was The
Herald's very capable correspondent at
Denmark, has moved to Bamberg, where
ho has accepted a position in the store of
Mr. T. S. Weeks.
This is generally considered a prosperperous
year, but the people of this county
are paying their taxes very slowly. The
receipts are not much if any larger than
last year up to this date.
For the next sixty days J will pay 25c.
in trade or 20c. cash for pine or cypress
cross ties, 7x9, feet long, delivered
anywhere*fclong line of Southern Railway.

Some action should be taken in reference
to closing the stores on Thanksgiving
day. All business, as far as practicable,
should be discontinued, and we hope
that all places of business in Bamberg
will be closed next Thursday,
We Dope ail posiuiasiers ma ucuici
Tke Hekald promptly, and only to the
parties to whom the paper is addressed.
No pq^who is not a subscriber has any
right to receive it, and we cannot hope to
keep our subscribers unless we see that
they get their paper on time.
G. Frank Bamberg has an advertisement
in another column that it will pay
you to read. He talks about harness,
saddles, bridles, etc., and his announcement
makes interesting reading. The
prices quoted are attractive, and if you
need anything in this line, now is the
time to buy.
It is doubtful if there will be any extension
of the time for payingtaxes without
penalty this winter. Fairly good
crops and prices have put most people in
condition to pay before new year. And
as a successful newspaper and business
man Governor Mcf>weeney believes in
and lives up to payment "strictly in advance.'*
So don't delay.
Comptroller General Derbaui has made
several appointments with our Treasurer
and Auditor for an annual settlement,
but so far has failed to keep" any of them.
Mr. C. C. Ellzey, toreman of the grand
?nro and Snnervisor Kearse were both
J*" J > r- ?
here to meet him, and it is rather inconvenient
for several men to come here to
meet the Comptroller, only to be disappointed.
"I was visiting friends of mine in the
country the other day," said a lady friend
of Thk Herald, yesterday, "when your
paper was mentioned. There was an
universal exclamation of praise for it,
and the head of the family said : 'The
Herald is one of the best county papers
in the State, and I wouldn't be without
it if the subscription price wi s two dollars
instead of one.'"
Wedding and birthday presents, a magnificent
assortment, at Brooker's.
Mr. G. B. Clayton, of Ehrhardt, is a
subscriber after the editor's own heart.
He appreciates The Herald, and to be
sure that he will have it is a weekly visitor,
even if cotton does drop next year
to four cents, he has paid up his subscription
to May, 15+01. A few more
friends of this sort, and we should really
begin to believe that life was worth the
living, and be encouraged to make The
Herald a better paper even than it is.
We are indebted to our friends for a
number of valuable local items sent to us
through the mail and handed us in person,
for the paper. If everybody would
remember that he or she could help make
the paper brighter and better by mentioning
some little thing of interest tc
the editor of The Herald when you see
him, or by calling him up over the 'phone
?our 'phone number is 16?the papei
would win its way into the hearts of the
people more rapidly. The Herald ii
just what its friends make it, and it want:
its friends to make it the most interest

The Kiigo and Sheridan Literary
Societies will give their usual Christ
mas entertainmeut about Thnrsda}
or Friday evening before Christmas,
The exercises will be a debate bj
the young orators of the Kilgo, selected
by the members of the society
and recitations, pantomimes,
etc., by the members and representatives
from the Sheridan. The two
societies will entertain their
friends in the best manner possible,
The following will represent Kilgo
Society: Messrs. Law ton, Shieder,
Jeffcoat, and T. Rhoad. The Sheridan
has selected Misses M. Tarrant,
E. Riley, S. Garris, Kee Price, and
Brabham to represent them. A
pleasant evening is promised those
who come.
The gymuasinm outfit is expected
in the next few davs, and the school
hopes soon to have it in working
order. There has been some delay
in its shipment on account of the
| press of business at the factory.
The school community was very
much disappointed at the non-appearance,
at least in this part of the
world, of the meteoric display. A
grand sight was expected, but nothing
came of it. We don't know
what was the cause of their not appearing.
Some thought, perhaps,
Mother Leo had called her wauder
ing Leonids hack to her abiding
pi ice, and bade them cease their
wanderings; others thought the flying
particles of Stardust had evaded
the mathematical skill of the astronomers.
We hope to learn something
more about this.

Belieres in Advertising.
J. A. Spann is one of the most
progressive and enterprising mer.
chants in Bamberg. Up to a few
weeks ago he had little faith in
newspaj>er advertising as a business
help, but the result of his first experiment
in this direction was so
successfully surprising that now he
is a thorough convert to that method
of pushing his interests.
To accommodate the hundreds of
patrons who failed to take ad vantage
of his last bargain day he has made
another radical mark down in prices,
and for two days, Monday aud Tuesday,
December 4th and 5th, he will
offer a long list of unprecedented
bargains, in all liues of goods.
On his last great bargain day his
force of clerks was not sufficient to
wait on the rush of customers. On
the two days mentioned, which will
be the last bargain days of the season,
he will have a large force of
atten dants, and everv customer can
7 *
depend upon being served.

Personal Remarks.
Court convenes here next Mon
day week, December fourth, which
is also the first Monday and salesday^
There will no doubt be a large
crowd in town that day, and we
hope to see a large number of our
subscribers at The Herald office.
Our place of business is easy to find,
and you will be put to very little
trouble in order to pay what you
owe us. Some of you are owing us
several dollars for several years, and
if yon can ever pay, you surely can
pay this fall. We don't want to be
harsh with anybody, but if you cannot
or will not pay for The Herald,
we don't want you to take it.
We now give fair warning and no
tice to those subscribers who are
several years behind, we shall turn
their accounts over to an attorney
for collection and the paper will be
stopped. Every centjs an honest
debt, and we want it. We are in
pressing need of what is due us, and
we do hope those in arrears will pay
up immediately. Some of you have
called in and promised to pay,
and have not done so. Do you intend
to keep your promise?

We cannot refrafn from calling
the special attention of our readers
j to the page advertisement of Messrs.
it Pearlstine" & Sons, of Branchville,
0 not only because this firm offer extraordinary
bargains in all lines of
,e goods purchased of them up to Ded
cember first, but because of their
11 enterprise and go-aheadativeness.
' They appreciate the value of prin?
ter's ink, and, although their house
[J is well-known, employ that method
r with prodigal liberality to inform
i- their friends and patrons of advantageous
mercantile events like t'.?e
- preseut. The firm is an old estab'
lished one, and its word is as good
" J J V* .? MA * > f b O t oil
_ US IIS UUUU. 11 guiunutcco man <*n
of its goods are marked down to
e bargain prices and the purchaser
can depend upon it that it is so.
The Messrs. Pearls t;ne make a
e special appeal to the readers of The
i. Herald, and we trust that the latter
will take advantage of the offer
made them, and give them the liberal
patronage they so richly deserve.
When you buy don't fail to
' mention the fact that you read the
announcement of the special sale in

Our New Press.
At last The Herald is in shape
to become a first class, up-to date
weekly newspaper. Our new press
has been installed, and last week's
issue was printed on if. We have
been badly handicapped since purchasing
The Herald, in the nutter
of a press, but now that the difficulty
has been removed, we are in a
position to supply everybody in
Bamberg county with a neatly
printed and newsy paper. We have
the only cylinder press in Barnwell
or Bamberg counties, and our electric
plant gives us a well equipped
and first class office. Our machinery
will no doubt be an object of interest
to many of our readers, and they
are cordially invited to drop in a.iy
time and see the beautiful little
electric motor (built by a well known
Bamberg boy, Mr. Decania Dowling)
run a large Cottrell cylinder
press and a 10x15 Chandler & Price
job press. We now have the best
equipped office in this section of the
State, and we are going to make
other improvements at once. We
are going to put in a lot of new
faces of job type. We also will have
a new dress for the paper. Our job
trade has increased materially lately,
so much so that we got behind with
our work, but we are hustling day
and night now, and will deliver
work promptly after this week.
The Herald is the paper to take
if you waut the new3, and this i3 the
place to have your job work done.

Advertising Pays. z<
The New York Herald gives this
pointer to merchants or all who k
have an article to sell or buy:
Advertising has become the mer- a'
chant's greatest help toward achieving
success. The complacent tradesman
who relies solely upon hisindi- &
vidual merits to build up a thriving T
business may be commended for the
faith that is in him; but such faith ^
is without solid foundation. It is ei
much like that which was characteristic
of the optimistic Mr.Micawber, j11
who, being bald, was of the opinion 5
that he had been providently depri- ti
ed of his hair in order that he might &
without discomfort wear the wig of ^
a lord higli chancellor. A merchant S
may ever be so worthy but in these 0
hustling times he must in addition J
do something in order to get the 11
public interested in his establish- w
ment. Good newspaper advertis- d
ing answers the purpose. &

Commandant Cronje of the Trans *

In the raid combat at Doornkop, s
when the bullets were whistling 3
rather too loudly around the spot
where he was seated, a field cornet 1
suggested his retiring to a more
sheltered position. "No," said Cronje,
"I am in the hands of God, and if I
am to be shot I shall be hit just
as soon in one place as in another."

Against Mr. Roberts. ]
Washington, Nov. 22.?One }
undred women, wives of Represen- (
itives in Congress, have signed pe- i
itions urging their husbands to opose
the seating of Brigham H.
Roberts of Utah in the House of
Representatives of the United States
longress. Additional signatures are "
eing received, aud it is expected thai I
lie number will be materially in- j
reased by the time Congress assernles.
I
The petitions were sent out a I
ouple of weeks ago by Mrs. Joy,
ife of Representative Joy of Mis h
Duri. A.copy was mailed to the
dfe of each Representative, with the I
?quest that it be signed and re- I
limed to Mrs. Joy in Washington,
'he petition is as follows:
''We demand that neither he (Robrts)
nor any such as he shall ever
ike part in the councils of the law- I
laking body ot our beloved country."
Mrs. Joy acted in this matter at
lie request of Miss Helen Gould of
few York in behalf of the move
lent recently inaugurated by women
f the land against Mr. Roberts. It
as deemed a good idea to work upu
the me mbers of the House through a
leir wives, hence the petition en- jj
sting the efforts of the feminine
ranch of the Congressional estab- a
shmenfc. u
Many of those who signed the pe- e
tion contented themselves with j
lerely attaching their signatures to
le printed form, but some others
rote letters encouraging Mrs. Joy nd
expressing their disapproval of
Ir. Roberts in vigorous terms. }
