A good crowd from here attended the Carnival at Denmark last Friday and Saturday. Several of our friends started the new year right bj* coming in and subscribing for The Bamberg Herald. . -: Sunday was a damp, disagreeable day. It was raining hard most of the day, and % the attendance at the churches was very L v small. F. H. McCrae, Denmark, is offering a cut price xm every article in liis immense stock of general merchandise. The stockholders of the cotton mill will hold their annual meeting on Tuesday, the 15th instant. The mill will no doubt make a good showing for last year. The tax books closed last Monday, and some people have notj-et paid their taxes. It is probable that there will be no extension, and delinquents must pav the penalty. Our people should give their hearty cooperation to the effort to organize a monumental association for the purpose of erecting a monument to the Bamberg UUOAU0. Mr. W. H.

McCrac pays cash for all kinds of country product. G. Frank Bamberg has sold more stock this season tnan any dealer in this section, ami he has just returned from the West where he bought more. A car load of fine horses and mules will arrive at his stables in a few days. To our; correspondents who have so nobly assisted us during the past year in making The Herai.d the best paper published in the county, we return our grateful thanks. .We hope they will continue to write for us during this year. Last Monday Gen. F. M. Bamberg delivered to Mr. H. J. Brabham his check for $5,000, this being his contribution to the twentieth century fund of the Methodist church. The money is for the benefit of the Carlisle Fitting School, and has already been invested for the school. Willie Williams was shot and killed on Thursday, Dee. 20th, by his father-in-law, Frank Wilson. The parties lived in Colleton county, near Smoak's and both v * are white. Reports are conflicting as to the cause, some say that it was accidental, others intentional. Both part ies had been drinking.?Orangeburg Patriot. Wanted.?10,000 cords of good hickory to be delivered at RowesviUe and Denmark, S. C. For particular address John F. Simmons, Rowesrille, S. C. Bamberg it seems was not the only place where the cannon cracker shooters annoyed people during Christmas week The Newberry papers complain of the practice there as well. We really think that the shooting of any kind of fire works should not be allowed on the business portion of Main street, for they are certainly a menace to life and property. We hope that next Christmas there will be a change in this matter. fa sr I Our merchants had a good holidoy trade. Be sure to see the announcement of R. Pearlstinc Sons in this paper next week.

He will take charge of the office after next Monday. We want to make our news letters a feature of our paper during this year, and want a correspondent in every section of the county.

Bricks are being hauled to the store two doors from The Bamberg Herald office for the erection of an oven for a bakery to be run by Mr. G. A. Brickie.

Future history will probably record the wonderful impetus given to the advertisement of this town by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company during the Carnival and fair which closed last Saturday night. It was appropriate in many respects, as the old year is limping away, wearied and burdened with progress, wearied and harrassed by every day grumblers, bruised by maddened fanatics and possibly overladen by tons of old century plunder, with hundreds of use less people blocking me roau 01 progress for the last time. Railroads, the prodigy of labor, skill and wealth, have been the means of opening up to settlers vast territories ol'fertile lands and the agency through which thousands of magnificent cities have been in time past built up in every part of this great country. They are veritable monuments of the thrift and money magnates, yet essential elements in the specific make-up of the social, the political, and the commercial life of this wonderful American people. It is the commercial power of these railroads which is now engaging the attention of the business men of this little town. Our merchants have been making gains through the prosperity of the surrounding country rather than through anv business qualities of their own. Competition wrecked al! old plans, and the great commotion in its industrial rod commercial life has given to our merchants new ideals, which if studied ind perfected will ere lorig la}' the corner-stone of a beautiful little city unsurpassed in point of advantage and location by any other in South Carolina. The great Carnival and Fair just concluded at this place has revealed to this people the true value of advertisement, it is an advertisement which will he studied and tested by the Wall street investor and possibjy the far Eastern busiiess men will sit in their private offices tnd become elated over the unclaimed advantages locked up in the possibilities of his little cross road town, Denmark. The object of the Carnival was to furnish amusement to the people and to ulvcrtise the advantages of the town and surrounding territory. The best of all iinds of agricultural products, woods, ambers that are at and near Denmark lave been collected and will be exhibited luring similar fairs to be held throughout the South and North. It is carrying the ulvantages of the place and community to the homes of migrating people and prospecting capitalists, that the capability and productions of the section may become known. Climate conditions have txcen discussed and recorded, water-supply tested alid photographs taken of the ittractive buildings, which will be handsomely mounted and arranged for future lisplays through the North and elsewhere. Large quantities of pamphlets containing maps of Southern States and the special location of Denmark, will be printed and placed in thousands of enterprising cities throughout the United States. In fact, a courteous invitation lias been tendered to capitalists and all snterprising people to join in building up the town: It is the appeal of the advantages of the place. The people are snly manifesting great joy for having such opportunities to offer. This covers the plan of advertisement which has cost bbe people comparatively nothing1, and most assuredly will be the key note of its future glorious history. Mr. Albert Graybill, the efficient manager of the Southern Carnival Association, deserves special mention for his excellent executive qualities and the special interest he has manifested in behalf of this town. The enthusiasm and genuine patriotism displayed by the whole community have thoroughly impressed Mr. Graybill and the entire corps of Carnival directors. Denmark is placed at the top of the list. The Seaboard officials will be all smiles when they hear of the wonderful success of the whole undertaking. The general satisfaction affirmed by -visitors and citizens has made possible the permanent organization of the Carnival and Fair which will take place at this town during succeeding years. This is a twentieth century idea. The following executive committee was appointed to shape the future plans of this association just so far as Deumark and community are expected to respond: F. H. McCrae, chairman ; W. S. Cooper, J. B. Guess, A. G. Yarn, S. D. Guess, E. T. LaFitte, and J. Arthur Wiggins. Having made plain the object of the Carnival, permit me Mr. Editor, to describe to you and your intelligent readers some of the many incidental attractions which characterized the Fair from the inception of the plan to the breaking Of camps late Saturday night. The weather was disagreeable, but the grand parade was a very creditable affair. Many beautifully decorated carriages, buggies, horses, bicycles and people presented a large, imposing group as they began to assemble at the High School building Friday morning. A large body of school children assembled there also to join in the inaugural ceremonies. * * * _r The procession was lea oy a numoer oi citizens on horseback. Many of the horses in rank were raised in this community. The orderly deportment of all and the knightly appearance of the happy column reminded one of the good old days past and gone, when chivalry was a part of man's living. Jovial Charlie CailifT led the column. The high step of his Kentucky steed and the pleasant smiles of the rider depicted a scene of confidence and success. Mr. CailifT was chosen to act as chief of police during the holding of the Carnival. Loud were the shouts and huzzas of the patriotic populace as this valiant brigade began the parade. Next to fall in line were the long Hue of decorated vehicles and attractive floats. The advertisement of the millinery establishment of Mrs. M. B. Matthews was uniquely 44 .1 tbn nffontiAn nf gOUCIl up ilUU iUlliltlcu nit aiiiunuii ... all who saw it. The nature of this real tloat was a gorgeously but tastefully decorated carriage drawn by two beautiful horses. The occupants of the vehicle were three of the prettiest young ladies in town, each decked with a stylish hat, the best skill of the milliner's hand. The driver of this carriage is much loved by young ladies. In rank of affection he comes next to hats. Your correspondent alludes to Mr. Julian Storne, a personal float of his own mercantile business and a typical float of the grade of bachelors I that thrive in this community. The reai I of the procession was made up of hun I dreds of merry schoolchildren, a number | of whom rode beautifully adorned wheels.! Music was furnished by the famous Oliver family. The procession marched through the principal street of the old town leading directly to the new town, where the encampment was located. This brilliant part of the program was ended without a mishap. Then the doors of the attractive shows were opened, and the rush was on for two days and nights. The Educated Horse, the Oliver show, and the Electrical Theatre were the most popular places, although the Wild West show, Paris Exposition and the many others were always crowded. All leaped a line profit, and were ever complimenting the people oi\ the very fine behavior which characterized the occasion from start to finish. The people came to get the amusement and to make the social phase a memorable one. The exhibits were not as numerous as tliev miirht have been. A hall in which to store valuable exhibits could not be procured, therefore many attractive and interesting things were withheld. If you will pardon the digression, I will say that a town hall is badly needed here, and the business men propose to conduct the next municipal campaign with this one issue in view, that its future welfare and general public interest may be more generously guarded. This hall ought to he completed before another Carnival is held here. It is the opinion of your correspondent that a great mistake was made in the method of awarding premiums. The premiums were given mostly for largest variety of exhibits by any one person. In this instance quantity outclassed quality. Among the various articles and products exhibited by the community were corn, rice, potatoes, garden products, canned fruits, preserves, pickles, domestic wine, fancy work, paintings, war relics, curios of many kinds, brick and machinery. The S. A. L. Company had on exhibition various kind of seed, timber, sea shells, bird eggs, colonial and war relics, along with a variety of curios. The Denmark High school had on exhibition excellent work in geometry and drawing, paintings, and several series of exceptionally line maps, all of which were the work of pupils. -Paul Perry a boy in the eighth grade deserves special montirtn ?inrl the eomnliments of the en tire community for the excellent drawing and sketching of the handsome* school building. The premiums were awarded as folfollows: Poultry?Asa Baxter. Farm and garden products? S. D. M. Guess and Son. Canned fruits, preserves and pickles? Miss Julia Cooper. Fancy work?Miss Lillie Cooper. Largest exhibit from any one school? Denmark High School. Largest exhibit paintings?Denmark High School. Largest exhibit colonial relics?Mr. Z. T. Foutz. Largest exhibit Confederate States war relics?Capt. J. C. Kemp. Largest exhibit of curios and relics of all kinds?Dr. S. II. Tindall. Handsomest decorated carriage? WalterDunlap and Miss Fraser.

Best appearing class 011 division in school children's parade?Premium to High School Department. Best decorated residence or building? Mrs. A. C. Faust. Premium to Mrs. M. B: Matthews, decorator. Many visitors visited the Cm nival and expressed themselves as being well pleased. Mr. Editor, I regret (that your former correspondent, "Der Unterzeichner," has ceased to send you the news from this place. Please permit to me subscribe my name as ever yours for fresh, good news. J. Bamberg Guards Banquet. The annual banquet of the Bamberg ' -> * . T_l TT^??1 1??. uuartis loos place ai jolucsuu > runci lust Friday evening, and was a very nice affair indeed. It was largely attended by the members of the company and several invited guests were present. The banquet was admirably managed, and reflects great credit upon the ofliccrs of the company and Host Johnson. During the evening Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., in a distinctively appropriate speech, presented to Capt. W. Russell Wright a handsoirie Masonic pin, given by the members of the company as a token of the love for and confidence in their commanding officer. Captain Wright accepted the gift in a few well-chosen words. There were iy> set speeches at the banquet, but several were called out and responded pleasantly. One of the features of the evening was the presence of Mr. Wm. Cooner, a member of the old Bamberg Guards, who fought through the war with the company and -was a gallant soldier. He was/called on to speak, and in ' the course of his remarks he paid a high tribute to Capt. Wright's father, I)r. L. A. Wright, who was made captain of the Guards after Capt. I. S. Bamberg resigned in 18G3, and commanded the company at the surrender at Appomattox. In fact he was captain of the company at most of the important battles of the war, and was a gallant officer. Mr. Cooner was the only member of the old command present, and his presence and speech were highly appreciated. About twelve o'clock the assemblage dispersed, having spent a most delightful evening.

I William Hutto, the eleven-year-old son J of Hon. and Mrs. H. C. Folk, died at the j home ot Ids parents in this city last Fri-1 day morning at eleven o'clock. The little j fellow 1 tad .been a sufferer for months past. The funeral services took place Saturday morn in ir, and were conducted by Kev. M. ; W. Ilook. The interment was at Southend Cemetery, and the funeral was largej ly attended by the relatives and many friends of the grief-stricken familv. The I following gentlemen acted as pallbearers : Senior?Faber Weissinger, .1. M. J Grimes. G. L. Weissinger, Eugene Weissinger, Govan Weissinger, and Jno. F. Folk. Junior?J. A. Murdaugh, J. K. Folder, H. F. McMillan, Vance \V. Brabham. Hooton M. Felilcr, and 1). M. Kaves. Little Willie had been sick since September last, and although his suffering was great he bore it patiently. He realized some time ago that lie would never get well and remarked that he would like for those who were going to^ive him presents at Christmas to do so soon, as he would not live to see Christmas. The little fellow's predictions was well-nigh fulfilled. It should be a great comfort to the sorrowing parents that Willie, although young in years, had the faith of a true Christian and passed to a 1 etter world fully trusting in his God. He was the eldest son, ami his sad death rends the hearts of his loving parents. We, with their many friends, extend our sincere sympathy.* You Kjiow What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply iron and quinine in a tasteless form.
