v-. .. A - v - " * V' W* I TEE BAMBERG HEBALD Thursday, Oct. 6,1904 Short Locals. Special sale six days in every week at W. D. Rhoad's. There is not much news in the county now. Everybody is too busy. ?>- ' Several of our farmers say they will hold their cotton for higher prices.* Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, of Aiken, has been quite ill with typhoid fever, but is some better at this writing. The editor is kept very busy these days, and would appreciate any items of news handed to him or left at the office Messrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr., and W. MBrabham will open a general merchandise business at Olar in the next two weeks. Wanted.?One thousand "Lion Heads" from "Lion Coffee" at one cent each, spot cash. R. H. Sonntag, Denmark, So. Ca. The largest and best assorted stock of stationery and blank books in Bamberg can be found at The Herald Book Store. iSome of our correspondents have neglected The Herald sadly for several weeks past. We would be glad to hear from ?r. them. The board of county commissioners did well to re-elect H. D. Free clerk. He is a faithful, accommodating, and efficient official. We publish the history of Springtown church in this issue. This is one of the oldest churches in the State, being organized in 1803. Cotton is bringing a good price and The Herald only costs $1.00 for a year. It's worth it every cent, too. Come in I*" and subscribe. We are too busy to send out statements i nn* cnKc/trihorc Qnr?

We have a guaranteed pen i; which we sell for $2.00. Waterman's pens , mi- ^t $2.50, the best made. Wanted?By an experienced book?keeper a positition, or will take books to g? write up and balance at night. Accuracy and neatness guaranteed, Apply to this Iftv. -office. ?&- Many of our subscribers paid up during the past week. We can accommodate others. This is a good season, everybody seems to have his share, and we trust our collections will be fine. For ledgers, day books, journals, pens, nks, fountain pens, fine stationeir, tablets, pencils, etc., come to The Herald Book Store. We have a full line of general stationery at right prices. Our subscription collections show up pretty well for September, .even if we didn't have time to send out any bills. Most of our subscribers pay up without waiting for statements to be sent them. Mr. M. W. Brabham, a son of C. R. Brabham, has been elected secretary and treasurer of the senior class of Wofford College, also manager of the senior foothall team. He will graduate next June. The Herald's'phone number is 59. Ring us up and give us your order for job printing, advertising, or stationery and blank books. We will serve you promptly and well. News items will also be appreciated. In another column Mrs. H. ifi. Urum ad' vertises the personal property of the late p? H. H. Crum. The sale will take place at |& Denmark on Friday, October 14th, and $ some valuable property is offered. See ^v-- the ad. in another column. p Most city graded schools charge tuition for children residing outside of the district P but such is not the case in Bamberg. Children can come from anywhere to oul graded school without paying one cent ? for tuition or fees of any kind. ||-> The especially large number of new subscribers we have secured recently is . very gratifying. Our circulation is larger than ever, and continues to increase slowly. We put on lots of new Dames, but i some dead-heads have to be taken off. I Big line knee pants and boys' suits at ' W. D. Rhoad's. > ; . There is no water in the wells and gin- , ners have bad a hard time recently to get , water for the boilers for their plants. , fp- Every ginnery in the county has been : working night and day recently, as the fH cotton was being gathered so rapidly. The town of Olar is erecting a nice graded school building and the work is ! well under way. It will be two stories ! high and a large, comfortable structure. 1 Olar is one of the few special school f districts in the county which has an extra |c levy of four mills. j| Several matters were omitted from our 1 columns last week, as we were so crowded i ??<* ' for space. The resolutions of Ehrhardt < lodge, Knights of Pythias, to the memory ] of Ben. F. Brown and the article from the < v. Times and Democrat were both put in type last week, but had to be left out. J " ? T> 1_: The statement or mrnoerg causing : &< Co. published in another column makes a : fine showing for this institution. The deposits are over $155,000 and undivided ; profits $16,633, while the loan and dis- ! counts are $142,056.40. Few banks in the : State can make a better showing, if as good. Mr. T. D. Jones, who formerly lived at Ehrhardt and was principal of the school there, bat who is now living in Bishopville, had the misfortune to lose most of his household goods by fire, the house in , which he was living being completely de? ' stroyed. His loss was over $500 with about $225 insurance. While we are very glad indeed to change advertisements, still it is impossible for us to change them on the day we go to press. Changes of ads. must be in our hands by Monday morning in order to be changed the same week. If sent later they will have to wait until the following week. Remember this, please, and send in your changes promptly. E. T. LaFitte, Esq., has rented offices in the Folk building and will move to Bamberg from Denmark for the practice of law. He expects to move his family here about the first of January, but will ** in o fntrr rlovrc W p I come ueie unuscn iu a ?uj.. understand that he has formed a partnership with W. D. Mavfipld, Esq., of Columbia, and the firm will no doubt be Mayr, field & LaFitte. Our people are waking up on educational matters. The enrollment at the y . graded school is the largest in its history, and the Fitting school has the largest patronage from the city it has had in several years. The number of boarding pupils this year is uuusually large. The prosperity of our educational institutions is a true index to the spirit of progressiveness among our people and is just cause for sefl-congratulatlon. | ?> V -V , ; . v . Nice line of those Queeu Quality shoes for ladies at W. D. Rhoad's. The ladies are out in full force today, attending the millinery openings. You can get the correct thing in stationery at The Herald Book Store. There was not a large crowd in town last Monday, even if it was salesday. Some of the farmers in inis section arc holding their cotton on account of the drop in price. Possibly this is well, as the price will likely go some higher when the receipts drop off." Mr. W. G. Kirkland, who has acted as town marshal for nearly two years, has tendered his resignation to council. Mr. Kirkland will return to the chain gang as foreman, the position he held before accepting the town marshalship. He will continue to serve until his successor is j elected. Mr. Kirkland has made a good marshal, and council will regret to give him up. Those all-solid leather shoes for children, big line at W. D. Rhoad's. It will be seen that the board of county commissioners has changed the road commutation tax from $1.00 to $3.00. This was done under an act of the last legislature, which authorized the county commissioners of each county to fix this tax at whatever amount they saw fit. This j increase ought to materially increase the I revenue for road purposes and give us i still better highways: Why can Theodore Kohn afford to advertise so extensively ? This question is easily answered, It is because you can always find in his immense establishment just what he advertises, and in conseouence of this he enjoys a large and sub stantial trade from all over this section of country. It will be to your best interest to consult his advertisement in this issue, and if you cannot go to Orangeburg, order by mail and you will get the bargains, and be as well pleased as if you had made your purchases in person. Nice line of ladies' jackets at W. D. Rhoad's. In the notice of Prof. J. S. Newman in reference to farmers' institutes, published in another column, it is stated that an institute will be held in Bamberg provided the necessary petition is signe'd and sent to him. This has already been done, and our people can see no reason why it should be done again. During the summer Mr. W. M. Cauthen circulated a petition, secured the necessary names, and sent it to Clemson college. The president replied, saying that Prof. Newman was away, but that he would take up the matter as soon as he returned. This is all Mr. Cauthen has ever heard about this matter, and now comes this notice saving a petition must be sent in. The one from Bamberg is already in, and the institute should be held here without further proceedings. New Advertisements. Mrs. H. E. Crum?Administrator's Sale. W. G. Hoffman?The Sure Way. Mrs. H. E.

Mr. James A O'Neil's house, Elenderson, j N C, was pain ted 20 years ago uith DeVoe lead-and-zinc, and never pair.ted again till last year; it then looked letter than common paint in half that time. The reason is DeVoe is all paint and true paint; while the common paints are part true and part false. Don't pay to monkey with paint. And DeVoe costs less then any of 'em; not by the gallon, of course; by the house and year. That's how. to reckon it. Go by the name. Yours truly 64 FW DeVoe & Co A PURIFYING POWER.
