. . ? THE BAMBERG HERALD Thursday, Feb. 16. 1905 Short Locals. We are glad February is a short month ?if the weather is to continue like it has thus far. If any subscriber fails to get his paper regularly and promptly, he will confer a favor by letting it be known at this office. Few realize that some work should be done in the gardens every month in the year, with the possible exception of December. r .. "OT/mmHq ctrowherrioe aro cnirl t.r?

The ground hog, if a sensible animal, must have'gone deeper in its burrow on Thursday than at the beginning of the winter. If you don't put plenty of thought work into your garden in spring, you need not expect much of a crop of vegetables rj.-- in summer. The wayfaring man though a fool can tell that there is more money in ten acres in cotton at ten cents than in twenty acres at five cents. Ten acres in cotton at ten cents is more ; . money than twenty acres with cotton at nve cents. JttememDer mis, ianuer, waen planting your crop. . . The rural mail carriers have a hard time when the blizzards come. Taking one consideration with another, their life is not altogether a happy one. The latest "fad" among the young girls in some of our neighboring towns is the collection of boys' handkerchiefs and ? . C making a "friendship shirtwaist." If you don't believe a country editor has a tough life, take his place about one L. month and try it: then you will say that he earns every dollar that is owing him. Mr. Ernest Hoffman who was so badly V scalded at the cotton mills a little more than two weeks ago, has recovered ST- enough from his injuries to be out again. If the demand for wood increases for the next twenty years as it has for the | la/Jt, people out in the country will burn coal, cornstalks, cobs or anything except wood. Our paper has not as much reading matter as usual this issue, but we think we have done pretty well to get out any paper at all, considering the difficulties we have labored under. February 2Utn win soon oe nere, ana very few people have returned their property for taxation. The auditor can jiot make up his books that way, and will be compelled to put on the penalty for son return after the 20th. The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church will hold its | regular monthly meeting, next Tuesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Sr. All members are urgently requested to be present. The appropriation bill passed by the legislature increases State taxes from 5 to mills. It is claimed that this is done to get the State out of debt, yet expenses are being increased every year. The levy for Bamberg county was fixed at 4? mills. Mr. J. O. Kearse, of the Kearse section, was in the city last Saturday. He has about recovered from a severe fall he received just before Christmas. He fell V from his buggy and injured his spine, but he is about well again, although for six | weeks he was confined to his bed. This kind of weather is a good time to T plan for the future. It is high time to decide which fields should be planted in each' crop and how the land should be prepared and fertilized. Don't fail when doing this, to assign plenty of room to the truck patches and fodder crops. Pp> Cards are out announcing the coming BS&r; marriage of Miss Dora Frances Ehrhardt, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ehr - hardt, to Mr. Frank Hawkins Copeland. The ceremony is to take place at the ggP!^'. home of the bride's parents in Ehrhardt on Wednesday evening, March 1st. teg;If cotton does not bring a good price this fall, we do not think it will be the IfcV... fault of Bamberg county's planters. 0$. - Many of them will reduce their acreage of cotton and the amount of fertilizer Used. If every farmer will do this cotton . will bring a legitimate price. The price now is below its value. We have our engine up now and it is running in nice shape. By the time our , paper is printed no doubt our electric f- lights will be installed, aawe have all the material on hand and only wait on the workmen to wire the building. Our EM' friends are cordially invited to drop in at rap' any time and see the most up-to-date v. establishment in Bamberg. * gfe-. . Why will not the farmers house their cotton and protect it from the weather? On th'e train to Augusta last week we noticed numbers of bales of cotton lying out on the ground, exposed entirely to 1; the weather. This damages cotton, and a little care would save it. If you haven't a house to put it in, at least lay some boards or scantling under it to keep it off pljg^vthe ground. Kg? ? Mr. Clarence Baxter and Miss Jessie r.,-. Walker were married at the Methodist parsonage in Denmark last Sunday evening, Rev. E. H. Beckham officiating. There were no attendants, the marriage ^ being a quiet one. Mr. Baxter is superinf tendent of the Denmark oil mill, while . the bride is a neice of Mr. J. A. Walker. . They have the congratulations and best ??& wishes of their friends. "k1 * ? * A- _ J?

He is full of energy and practical efficiency, and will bring things ? "' to pass wherever he is.?Rev. V. I. Masters in Baptist Courier. ? Mr. H. C. Bailey, recently connected with The Bamberg Herald, is in town this week. Mr. Bailey has leased the ' Johnston News and takes charge this V .week. Mr. Bailey is an old time newspaper man of many years experience. We f V - cordially welcome him and his family to town. We trust that our relations in this limited field will be pleasant, even if we | don't get to be millionaires.?Johnston Monitor. A late spring this year would not be an unmixed evil, for the women will have to wear their winter clothes a long time anyway, for Easter does not come this year until the 23rd of April, which is the latest date that Easter can possibly fall on. Easter fell on the 23rd of April in 1848, and will fall on that date in the year 2,000, but those years and this year are only years of the 19th and 20th centuries that it falls on so late. EPu Well, we can hardly complain of too little rain now. The farmers are getting ready and anxious to go to ploughing, but the weather is against them. ~ j Mrs. Ruth Bamberg and children are now at Miss Carrie Bamberg's, where they will remain for a short while. The Williams Comedy Company will play in the opera house here Thursday, Friday; and Saturday nights of this week. Seats "now on sale at Hoffman's. If those subscribers who have not paid us knew how badly we need every dollar owing to us, we believe that a great many of them would come up and pay us. Rain commenced to fall here Saturday nicrht nnd rnntinn^d all dav Sundav and part of Monday. All the ditches and ponds are full of water, and we have fully enough rain to last awhile. Mr. H. M. Meyers, an aged lawyer of Barnwell, died last Wednesday in the Columbia hospital. He had been ill for a long time and had retired from active practice. The funeral and interment took place at Barnwell. All parties who have not made their tax returns for the year 1905, are urged to do so at once, as after the 20th day of February a penalty of 50 per cent, will be! added. A prompt action in this matter means money to you. Last Thursday, 2nd instant, was ground hog day. If the ground hog in this section came out of his hole in the early morning he saw his shadow and went back, and we will,-as a consequence, have six weeks more of rough weather. A. H. Bruce has just opened up a firstclass meat market in rear of the bakery, t ,, , _i j t_.u ana Win De pieaseu iu serve 1119 uiu euotomers as well as new ones. Native meats a specialty. Ring up 'phone 55 and give him your order. Prompt and reliable service guaranteed. Mr. A. H. Bruce returned Tuesday night from Branchville, where he has been living for the past five months, and has opened up a meat market in rear of the bakery. As his house here is rented, Mrs. Bruce will remain in Branchville with her daughter for some time. The art exhibit at the graded school building last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was well attended during the four days the pictures were on exhibition. A neat sum was realized from the admission fees, and this money will be used to buy pictures for the various recitation rooms of the school. "The Old Maids' Convention," which was presented at the opera house here last Friday evening by local talent, was attended by a large and appreciative audience, and the performance was highly enjoyed by those present. The entertainment was under ihe management of the Home Missions Society of the Methodist church, and the funds will be used for societj- purposes. The case against Mr. H. L. Rowell, a painter of this city, was nol prossed by the solicitor at court in Columbia last week. Mr. Rowell was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, he having shot a white oainter in that city some time last year. Mr. Rowell was working in Columbia at the time, and the action of the solicitor shows that he must have been justifiable in shooting the man. The South Carolina State press association is to meet at White Stone Springs on Tuesday, July 11th next. After the meeting the members may take a trip to the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, Oregon, the matter of taking this trip now being under consideration. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, no doubt a number of the editors will take advantage of the occasion to visit the far west. The graded school was troubled very much this week, and school had to be suspended in some of the rooms for one or more days, on account of water in the cellar where the heating system is located. The fires could not be started, as the heaters were flooded, consequently the children had a holiday. It seems strange to us that the cellar should have been flooded, as the building is situated on a hill. We understand that the heating apparatus still works very poorly. New Advertisements. W. G.

Mr. Donald Rowe Dies in Charleston. Mr. Donald J. Rowe, a former resident of Bamberg, died at his home in Charleston last Tuesday, the 14th, after a long illness. Mr. Rowe was well known and had many friends among our citizens, who will regret to learn of his death. Mr. Rowe married a daughter of W. Gilmore Simms, the author, whose old home is situated a few miles below town, and for several years his family made this city their home. iHe was born in Orangeburg county. For a long time Mr. Rowe was magistrate at this place, but he had been living in Charleston with his family for the past ten years. The burial was at Magnolia cemetery in Charleston. Dispensary Sales for January.

There ( has never been a reason why every bale t of cotton should not be housed and pro- 1 tected from rain, snow and wind. Especially during February should cotton be . protected, for it is sure to "blue" if it is i not well covered, and then the buyer will 1 take advantage of that condition?and no j one can blame him. < If your cotton is worth anything at all < it is worth housing. Even a few poles 1 under it and a few planks over it will beat being fully exposed to the weather. s The farmer who wants to ffet the bene- 1 fit of good prices when they do come ' must see that his cotton is not damaged. . Don't Wear a Hat. Theatre goers in this city are very much disappointed at times by not being able to see what is going on on the stage < because of the high hat worn by some j lady who sits in front. Will not the ladies accept a kindly suggestion and s leave their hats at home? The floor of i our opera house not being raised makes ] it well-nigh impossible to see and enjoy a performance behind one of these "pic- i ture hats." So, ladies, kindly leave off i your hats and thereby oblige many a poor < ! fellow who has paid his money and wants i to see the performance just as much as j you do and has just as much right to see s it as you have. If you must wear a hat c to the opera house, at least take it off s and put it in your lap while the show is t going on. ? J Farmers Meet at Denmark. According to a call of President E. D. Smith, the farmers and other business " men met in Guess's Hall at Denmark on . Saturday, February 11th, 1905, and organized by electing the following officers: John W. Crum, president; J. J. Fogle, vice-president; W. H. Kearse, secretary; a H. C. Rice, treasurer. * After some discussion by J. B. Guess, . T?hn W firnm W. H. Bamberer. and I others, the meeting proceeded to elect I delegates to the county convention as follows: John W. Crum, J. B. Guess, and S. G. Mayfield. Convention then adjourned subject to call of president. * W. H. Hearse, , ] Secretary. r : ? a Cotton Growers' Meeting of Bamberg Township, ii In compliance with resolutions passed ? at the recent cotton convention held in | New Orleans, calling attention to all I farmers to hold meetings at each precinct or district in the counties of each State to f answer the question bearing upon the reduction of acreage and of fertilizers, or " their willingness to endorse the action of said convention; We, the farmers of Bamberg township, held a meeting on Saturday, the 11th instant and elected the following officers: C. B. Free, president; D. R. Matheny, vicepresident; J. T. O'Neal, secretary; and W. E. Spann, treasurer. The president announced the object of 1 the meeting, and after some discussion it was agreed to make a reduction in acre- 7 age and that of fertilizers. The following representatives were elected to the county convention to beheld at the court house on Saturday, the 18th instant: C. B. Free, J. D. Felder, A. E. H. Simmons, J. W. Hill, W. E. Spann, J.
