<Iyc-;-' THE BAMBEBG HERALD Thursday, July 7,1904 Short Locals. The general condition of crops all over the State is regarded as very promising. Better buy that organ now. They are going fast. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. Crops are looking too promising for our people to take much interest in poltics. Mr. J. C. Breland announces himself in this issue as a candidate for magistrate at Ehrhardt. Mr. A. Kirsch will soon open up business in one of the new stores in the ? Counts block. There have been several additions to Lft /^rifinn f K a mnnfinnp q f thn IlUC VUU1VU UUXiU^ bug UXggbiU^ *?v w**v Methodist church. There was a picnic at Springtown church last Monday, which was a well attended occasion. fThe cotton mill has recently had most of its operatives houses repainted and L.' otherwise improved. The South Carolina Press Association is to hold its annual meeting at White Stone Springs next week. A few of the merchants closed their stores Monday afternoon, to allow their clerks to celebrate the fourth. Our friends from the country say there is no news, but that crops are fine. In Ii some sections, uowcvcr, xaiu is needed. Our merchants as a rule are purchasing large stocks of fall and winter goods, as the present outlook for business is excellent. The boys' boarding hall at the Fitting School is being repainted and otherwise improved. The girls' hall is also to be repainted. The cotton mill could not run last Monday, as many of the operatives want ed to enjoy the "glorious fourth" and went fishing. Several from here went to the Isle of Palms Sunday. These Sunday Excursions seem to be very popular, as all the trains are crowded. Wasted.?Several good candidates to run for county offices^ The field is not near lull enougn. we suouiu nave ai least twice the number running. The editor of this newspaper hopes to if be away all of next week, attending the meeting of the State Press Association at g White Stone Springs and having a good f|: time generally. Maybe the good wives have gotten tired ??- - of feeding the large crop of candidates at E&- these county campaign meetings, is why their husbands reduced the number in |V this county this summer. Try Thos.Black for any and all kinds of musical instruments, sewing machines |R> and accessories. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. The State campaign meeting for Bamberg is to be held on Wednesday, July 2?th. It is probable that only the candidates for railroad commissioner and conH crwxis a-ill attend. The day of independence was celebrated very quietly in Bamberg. All the stores were open for business; the only places being closed were the bank, postW: office, and dispensary. t The lands of Angus Patterson, adverU. tised for sale for non-payment of taxes, was sold by the sheriff Tuesday. The ^ X ; plantation brought $6,500, Mr. W. Y. Smoak being the purchaser. For Sale?Two thousand pounds of good fodder. Apply to D. R. Mathenv. Remember the big reunion of Confederate veterans at Rivers' bridge memorial grounds to-morrow (Thursday, 7th.) A large crowd will no doubt be present, and a most pleasant day is expected. The county campaign is soon to begin, -?-5 Kn <-] a?* Ka f i rt /> I SOU txie (jauuiuaica liau ucuci uc ^cutux their speeches ready. The voters will expect some decided views oil county matters from the legislative candidates. D. J. Delk now has his threshing machine running, and is prepared to thresh grain for the public. Carry your oats or wheat to his shop, opposite Bamberg cotton mills, and get it threshed. His charges f are reasonable. The Bessinger reunion took place at Spring Branch church last Saturday. A large crowd was present, and a most enjoyable day was spent. Most of the candidates for county offices were present and made speeches. Messrs. J. J. Fogle and J. Wins. Carter announce themselves in this issue as candidates for the office of County Commissioner. These gentlemen have filled this office so ably and acceptably that they are not likely to have any opposition. Have you seen Thos. Black's pianos? They are "beauts" and have got to go. If you wantto spend a while at one of the best summer resorts in the State, go to Chick 8prings. There is no better water anywhere for indigestion and stomach troubles, and the management have every attraction to be found at a first-class summer resort. Dr. James A. Duncan, financial agent of Wofford College, will visit Bamberg ] next Sunday, and will preach in the Methodist church at both the morning and evening services. All are cordially invited to attend. Fine sermons may be expected, as Dr. Duncan is said to be a very able man. Nothing like a Crown Organ for finish and tone, and the price and terms are right. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. It is probable that the Free shortage in Barnwell county will be settled without suit. Free was the county treasurer ( and was about $12,000 short. The bonding company will probably pay up without suit. The comDtroller is now making settlements with the various counties ai rapidly as possible and nearly all of them are ready unusually early this year.? News and Courier. There is a vacant scholarship from this county in Winthrop College. This schol, arship is worth $100 a year and free tui- i tion. The competitive examination for the awarding of this scholarship is soon to be held at the court house here by the countv board of education. Miss Mamie Rowell, daughter of County Superintendent of Education R. W. D. Rowell, has held this scholarship for the past three years. Only three public schools in this county have taken advantage of the rural free : library act passed at the last session of ' the general assembly. The law provides that when the patrons or friends of the school raise $10, that $20 more shall be . given, thus giving a school $30 to spend for library books. This amount will at i' least start the nucleus of a library, and every school in the county ought to take advantage of it. g^. .... , Mr. D. T. Smoak has been elected principal of the Midway school for the coming year. Mr. D. W. Shealy offers his meat market for sale in this issue. See the advertisement. Our citizens are sweltering during this excessive hot weather and mournfully singing "How would you like to be the iceman?" The protracted services at the Methodist church are continuing this week. Large congregations are attending each service, and much interest is being manifested. Unless we get rain in a very few days, crops in many sections of this county will be materially damaged. Early corn especially is suffering for moisture. From all sections comes the complaint that crops are going backward for want of rain. Our good friends are anxious for us to be at the Confederate reunion to-morrow (Thursday) at Rivers' bridge, but we are afraid it will be impossible. We hated very much to miss the St. John's picnic last Thursday, but we had some work which could not be postponed. Sheriff J. B. Hunter was married last Sunday morning at nine o'clock to Miss Leila Lancaster, Rev. Mr. Glover officiating. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's brother, Mr. L. L. Lancaster, at Govan. Their friends extend congratulations and good wishes. The quarterly statement of Bamberg Banking Company in this issue shows that institution to he magnificently managed. The loans and discounts are $167,396.89, and the undivided profits and surplus $31,484.62. Certainly the bank officials have reason to be very proud of this showing. PLANTS IN BEDROOMS. Ther Are Harmless In the Dsytlnie, but Vicious at light. In the daytime, when sunlight stimulates their nutrition, plants can do no harm in bedrooms, for then they give off oxygen and are useful in ab L ? i Al.. - 1- ot.KI/.V. so ruing iruui uit: an uie uu ltuul nmuu is injurious to animal life. The free use which is made nowadays of flowers and plants in our hospitals is in itself sufficient proof that this is a wholesome means of ministering mental cheer and comfort to the sick and suffering. At night the case is different Then all plants and flowers are removed from hospital wards, because they exhale the carbonic acid which they have gathered from the soil and air and thus give off by a process similar to respiration a gas which is injurious. We may therefore conclude that during the hours of darkness, when the respiratory process is active and the nutritive is at a standstill, plants should have no place in our bedrooms. What is prudent in spacious wards is imperative in smaller chambers. i Inspiration For a Ball Gown. Among the many characteristic stories that have been told of the methods that were used by the great man dress ' i- rr?^v, i_ kia ma&CT ul xrarxa, trutui, in ucauu^ uio surprises there is one of a commission he received for a fancy gown which a great belle desired to have absolutely unique. The great man spent the night consulting with his collaborators, but the idea refused to materialize. Weary with their fruitless toil, the three artists stepped out on a balcony to rest and forget their disappointment in a cigarette. "Voila! It is the dawn!" said one. "Ciel! It is the dress!" cried Worth, and "Dawn," with its subtle harmonies of gray and violefr and rose shot through with gold, was the success of the ball. I, WaliiA The earliest church permanently established in Maine is said to have been Episcopal. Services were held at Saco in 1637. At what is now Popham services were held frequently in 1607, the* first instances of the performance of the rites of the Episcopal church in any part of the United States north of Virginia and the first Protestant worship and preaching by an ordained minister in any portion of this vast territory. Poker. Germans claim that poker is an old German game which for more than 100 years has been played and is still being played in some districts of Westphalia. Emigrants took it to the United States, where its name of scharwenzel was changed into poker. Snubbed Afala. "Have a care, madam,'* "said Mr. Meeker, summoning up a little spunk. "The worm will turn!" "Did you ever know the worm to hurt anybody when it turned?" calmly asked his wife.?Chicago Tribune. Just think of it! We are passing through this world, but wo are not topping here. Let us make the Journey agreeable to each other.?Schoolmaster. BANK STATEMENT.

Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated attacks of Indigestion inflame? the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus causing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles..
