Betcome in and make your selection before ^ the stock is broken. Fruits for cakes at Huggins's. It is amusing to see how these towns hasten to assure the public that the cases . of smallpox there are "chicken pox." * Well, it is the same kind of chicken pox t that has been in the State for the past two > years. ( Granola at Huggins's. The Herald Book Store has a large j stock of Christmas goods, and we are going to get rid of them all, even if we have ( to sell them at cost.

Order your Xmas meats, sausages, etc., from ; him. Nice stock always on hand. ?

Beckwith, has been sent to Barnwell church next 3'ear, and we are sure that the peo- , pie then* will be delighted with him. He is an eloquent and brainy preacher, and t is as full of true religion and piety as an \ egg is of meat. "We are glad* he is to be near us. * Mince Meat at Huggins's. The colored Methodist conference was held in Greenville last week, and Rev. A. * G. Keunedy, who has been pastor of the church here his allotted time, was sent to , v John's Island. He is succeeded by Rev. . W. G. Valentine, who is said to be a good man and a good preacher. Rev. Kennedy has made many friends among the white people here by his correct de portment, and they wish him well. Cooking butter at Huggins's, 20 cents a pound. While at Conference in Orangeburg last week Rev. T. C. OT)ell received the following telegram: "I will give $5,000 to Carlisle Fitting School. F. M. Bamberg." This announcement was enthu- . siasticaliy received, and elicited considerable comment bv Bishop Key, who expressed the hope that others who loved the church and the cattle of Christian education might follow the example of the General. In speaking to Mr. O'IX'11 upon tin; subject. Bishop Key said 15aml>erg was the banner charge in the Conference on the Twentieth Century Movement. Make jelly* cakes for Christmas. 5 lbs. at Huggins's for 23 cents. Bamberg county furnished the president for the State Baptist Convention two weeks ago, as well as the largest con- j tributor to educational purposes for that J ? denomination. The secretary ot ihat j body also lived in this town for a long | time, married here, and in some measure ! belongs to Bamberg. Now at the Meth- j odist conference a gentleman of this city,: Gen. F. M. .Bamberg, contributes $3,000 J to the Twentieth Century Educational Fund, more than was given by any man in South Carolina. Verily, we are somewhat ahead on church and educational; matters, and all of us here are proud of i the fact. ? There are several bad mud holes on the sidewalks of Main street that should be filled up. For Sai.k on Kknt.?My residence on Railroad Avenue. For terms apply to S. II. Saunders immediately. The alarm of tire was given last Sunday night, caused by the chimney burning out at Mr. J no. R. Bellingers residence. The freight depot has received a fresh coat of paint, and soon Agent Eaves will have his office in the passenger depot enlarged and improved. A solid carload ot fruit will be received here to-morrow. This is probably one of the few towns in this State where such a large shipment of fruit is ever received. As will be seen by tlie appointments in another column, Rev. T. C. O'Dell has been returned as pastor of the Methodist church here, which is good news to his many friends. Next year completes Mr.. O'DelPs fourth year as pastor here. Barlow Warren, the young white man from Branchville, who is charged with robbing the express car, had a preliminary hearing in Orangeburg last Saturday. and was released on a bond of $SOO. Some seemingly strong evidence against him was introduced, but many people do not believe him guilty, and the small sum in which bond was required would indicate that the ease is weak. In view of tlie existence of small pox at Denmark, Govan, and other parts of the county it would be well lor everybody in Bamberg who has not been vaccinated to have the matter attended to without delay. People from all over the county will be coining here :a the next two weeks, and the disease should not get started here. We have no small pox here now, and lei's keep it out. Barnwell is to have an extra session of court for civil cases, commencing the 3rd Monday in February, to last three weeks, lion. .J. II. Hudson has been appointed is special judge. The extra term was granted upon the petition of attorneys of he Barnwell bar. The civil business in his county is badly behind, and our bar should petition for a special term as well, o convene immediately after the Barnwell court adjourns, with Judge Hudson ts the presiding judge. The Sheriff sales for January, 1900, adir?riised in this issue, will not be made >n tiie first Monday of the month, as is lie rule, but on the Tuesday following nstead, which is the second day of Jantary. This is because tiie first Monday, which is the first day of Hie month, is a egal holiday?a dies lion?as old Julius ?tesar used to call 'em. Ami it is not awful to do anything on such day ex:ept to sit around ou dry goods boxes ind swap lies with your neighbors, kinIred, and the balance of mankind. The Southern Railroad authorities ihould be required by the Railroad Oomnissioners, if possible, to make better :onnectiou at Branchville. The wait in he morning is not long, but passengers rom Bamberg to Columbia are forced to vait about two hours there at night. Aiming l'rom towards Columbia to Bum>erg you have to wait the same length of ime, and this abominable slate of affairs hould not be allowed to exist any longer. ( Phe traveling . public, we are sure, will oin us in a demand for better connecious. ! New Advertisements. REAL ESTATE.

Since the establishment, of the Carlisle Fitting School at this place he institution has had no more deroted friend and supporter than *en. F. M. Bamberg,, who not only lonated $2,000 to the buildings, but las since given the school a library josting $1,000 and a gymnasium ivhieh cost several hundred dollars, ?ut has assisted. many deserving ioys and girls in order that they night be educated there. Last Thursday the General wired ;he Annual Methodist Conference n session at Orangeburg, a contrimtion of $5,000 to the Twentieth Ueutury Educational Fnnd, and we inderstand that he will direct that bio Bp uivpn to the Carlisle Fitting School hero. We hope this is true m<] have good reason to believe that t is. This magnificent gift will ierve to make the institution stronger, and open up to it a much wider jareer of usefulness. However, the school should have m endowment fund of $10,000 and ,ve hope that some of our citizens will follow Gen. Bamberg's liberal ead. COTTON SEEI) WANTED. Want 2,000 bushels Cotton Seed it once.

Last Monday County Treasurer Dick in son'received from Comptroller lieneral Derham, a check for $750.)6, which is Bamberg county's share ;>f the dispensary school fund. This money will be distributed to the various schools in the county, but upon what basis is not yet known. By an act of the legislature this dispensary fund is apportioned upon the school reports of 1897, at which time Bamberg county was not formed, consequently the report sent in by Supt- Scase was taken from the records of Barnwell county. We believe the amount would have been larger had the distribution been based upon the reports of a later period, or in other words, since Bamberg was a county. Next year we will no doubt get more money from this fund, as the distribution will in all probability be based upon the reports of 1S0S. ('apt. Sense went to Blackville * 1 "? 1 - /- A i.1. ~ last wet'K ami maue/our- uic u-pun. from the books cl" Supt. A. Buist Sr. The amount is divided as follows: Deficiency, $S4.00; surplus, $672.00.

Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church here, took a very prominent posistion at the recent. State Baptist Convention, as will be seen by the following extracts we make from our exchanges: Gaffney Ledger: "The Rev. W. E Johnson, who made the speech on the State College matter Thurday night, is one of the growing men among the Baptists. Without passing an opinion on the principles at stake, his speech was live and bright and forceful and full of facts. He has a bull-dog tenacity when he takes up a matter and a happy vein of humor. He is a good preacher, and is pastor of the Bamberg church.*' Bantist Courier: "Rev. W. E. - __r Johnson, of Bamberg, made a ringing, strong speech against the principle of Taxing the poor to sustain the State institutions. The speech was full of pertinent, live facts. Then he offered a resolution, citing in the preamble the unjust discrimination against the common schools. The body of the report recommends that all colleges live by voluntary . support, that there be better provision for the common schools, and that, the Baptists invite the co-oper- ( ation of other denominations to this end." South Carolina Baptist: 4<W. E. Johnson made a fine speech along < the same line." ] 4 Olar News. Olar, Dec. 9th?Revs. J. C. ' Roper and W. C. Kirk land spent ( the hist week of the conference year , at Dr. N. F. Kirkland's, the father of Rev. Mr. Kirkland. Mr. Roper preached for Rev. W. A. Wright to a large congregation last Sunday, and after the sermon Mr. Kirkland . held a thanksgiving service and took up a collection for the Epworth Orphanage which amounted to $11.90. Mr. Albert W. and Miss Lizzie Hunter, Mr. Harmon and Miss Bertha Steedly, of Hartzog, and Mr. Barney and Miss Ruth Harrison, of Bamberg, recently visited the family of Mr. 0. G. Rhode. Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Sr., did not j attend conference as he expected, on account of the extreme illness of little Robbie, son of Mr. John ; Smith, of Buford's Bridge. G. City Council Meeting. At the meeting of city council ' last Thursday afternoon, the only ' members absent were Aldermen Brooker and Brabham. ^ The marshal's report was received, ! and several bills were approved, after which three ordinances were , adopted, as follows: One forbidding the shooting of fireworks on the streets, except by permission of the Mayor; one making it a misdemeanor to be helplessly drunk on the streets; and the other 7 I in reference to the hoard of health, this being adopted in order that the : town ordinance might conform to the hist act of the legislature. The Mayor was instructed to act as his judgement dictated in reference to the mad dog scare. Olar Briefs. Olar, Dec. 12?C F Rizer has opened a livery and sale stable at this point. He begau with a car-, load of horses and mules,and we are glad to say he is doing a good business. The citizens here held a masi meeting last night to consider the situation and to decide what steps should be taken for our protection. Many contend the disease is a form of camp itch. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Richard Morris, who explained the object of our assembling. It was decided to petition the Governor to place a guard at each infected house. k The trustees of our school became uneasy concerning the prevailing disease, owing 10 its nearness to our locality, and as a precautionary measure, decided it were wiser to suspend our school until after the Christmas holidays. There is no case at UJar. R Karesh has moved to the corner store, on west side of Main street. He occupies a stand near the depot in the heart of the place, and is doing ,i large share of the business here, which he certainly deserves. E D Bessinger is now with him and is kept busy attending the wants of his numerous friends. Mr Karesh has done well to secure his services. We are preparing for a Christmas tree. Quo Vadis. Dr. M. A.

Miss Minnie Cassidy was here, though, and we know when she gets interested iu anything, it must materialize; so we just wait, and murmur not. The Methodist Conference is now in session at Oranbeburg, and we suppose a good many are just waiting with a heart for any fate.

Wilson remembered me in a very substantial way, for, of course, he remembers very distinctly how I used to eat puddings and sausage at his home; then too Mrs. Katie Ehrhardt has favored us with a very generous neighbor's share; and you ought to have seen the basketful Miss Lucy Carter brought last Monday; and our pupils, Otis Cope- ( land and MonnieMcKenzie, remembered that sausage and pudding are guaranteed to keep a hungry school teacher in a good humor.
