Short Locals.
Two hundred bushels ear corn for sale.
J. J. Simmons, Bamberg, S. C.
Dr. Rouse is having his office fixed up,
and he will be ready for work by next
Monday.
Many of the fields in this section are
white with open cotton. The recent wet
weather has retarded picking.
x Mr. I. Mitchell,of Charleston, is here to
represent 8prunt & Co., of Wilmington,
N. C., the big firm of cotton exporters.
Mr. Willie Stokes has moved his family
to town, and they are occupying Mrs. M,
A.Adams's residence on Railroad Avenue
Arthur Nimmons has had acetylene gas
lights put in his barber shop. He gets
the gas from the machine which lights M
Moye's store.
Our streets are crowded these days
I with people from the country. They art
selling cotton and attending to business
of various kinds.
For Sale?One fifty saw gin, feedei
and condenser, in first class running order,
for sale cheap. Apply to L. M.
Aver, Bamberg, S. C.
Bennettsville is making strong efforts
to secure the Presbyterian college now
located at'Clinton. 'Chester is also working
to secure the college.
The cool spell this week make heavy
clothing and fires comfortable early in
the morning. Bamberg was an ideal summer
resort for a few days.
Highest prices paid for eggs at the
^ bakery.
Bring your cotton to Bamberg if you
would receive the best prices. We hare
plenty of buyers to bid on your cotton,
and competition is sharp.
The family of Mr. C. Froneberger ari
rived in town yesterday morning, and
will occupy one of the mill cottages near
the graded school building.
While taking out insurance, why not
get the best? A. M. Brabham has nothing
. but the best life and fire companies, ana
is always ready to serve you.
Cotton exporters are represented on
the Bamberg market, and this, in connection
with our local buyers, insures farm-ers
the toD of the market for their cotton.
I They say "K." Brabham is doing well
with his insurance companies. Well, that
is because he has such good companies
-and is always ready and willing to serve
Rev. W. T. Duncan has been quite sick
for the past week at the home of Mr. W.
P. Mahone, where he has been visiting.
His* condition is better today.?Honea
JPath. Chronicle.
During the heavy thunder storm last
Wednesday afternoon, several trees in
"various parts of the town were struck by
lightning. The rain that fell was the
\ heaviest of the year.
Mr. C. W. Rentz gives notice that trespassing
or hunting in his pastures is forbidden.
Somebody has shot and seriously
injured one of his fine Jersey cows,
and he will prosecute trespassers.
By the way, we hope council will take
up. the matter of cement sidewalks for the
busines portion of Main street before the
sloppy, muddy weather this winter. The
sidewalks get in bad shape during the fall
and winter.
Remember the musical entertainment
: at Mr. C. R. Brabham's residence next
Tuesday evening, the proceeds to be used
for the furnishings of the new Methodist
church. Admission 25 cents and refreshments

Dr. Geo. Douglas Rouse, Bamberg's
new.^enfist, will be in shape l[pr patients

His office will be in the Qtl building over
Hoover's drug store
Sol P. McCall was to deliver a temperance
lecture at the Baptist church Tuesday
evening, and he had just begun to
speak when the alarm of fire was given.
This broke up the lecture, for the entire
audience rushed to the fire.
An election on the dispensary question
has been ordered in York county by the
supervisor, to be held on Tuesday, September
26th. The opponents of the sys
[tem are confident that the election will
go against the dispensary.
Sol P. McCall will deliver his temperance
lecture at the Baptist church this
(Wednesdaj) evening. He had to adjourn
last night on account of the fire. On account
of the lecture there will be uo
- prayer meeting at the Methodist church.
Mr. W. M. Oxner requests us to state
that the Olar graded school will begin its
fall session next Monday morning, September
4th. The faculty consists of w.
Mi Oxner, principal, and Misses Eittie
Hooton and Euniee Rosborough, assis.
tanis..,;v; .
Mr. A. E. H. Simmons sold seventeen
bales of cotton last Monday to the cotton
mill bere for- eleven cents the pound.
This is considerably higher than has been
paid at other markets in the State, but
Bamberg can be depended upon to give
|-tv the highest prices.
Wanted at Once.?Your order for dry
wood. J. H. Murphy.
Mr. L. B. Fowler has accepted the posi|r
tion of night superintendent at the oil
r v' :' " mill- Mr. A. L. Weathersbee is the day
superintendent. The force is busy there
?? now getting things in shape and putting
in some new machinery, as it is hoped to
IvrV' start up the mill in about two weeks.
$-* , The morning train from Augusta was
. about two hours late yesterday morning,
on account of a wreck in the railroad
yard at Augusta. In coming out of the
yard it seems that the Pullman sleeper
jumped a switch which derailed and overturned
the passenger coach. It is said
that the health inspector from Augusta
was killed and the flagman of the train
had both legs cut off.
A petition is being circulated here askine
the railroad authorities to extend the
service of its train from Augusta to Blackville
on to Bamberg and make this the
< stopping point. This train now makes
daily trips to Augusta, leaving Blackville
early in the morning and returning about
eight o'clock at night. If the train would
rr n from Bamberg this would give us an
early train to Augusta in the morning and
wmld allow parties from here a much
longer day in the city. It would be a
great convenience to the people of this
community, aDd we hope the railroad
people will act favorably on the matter.
The Cotton Market.
Cotton is selling in Bamberg today
(Wednesday) at 10.60. The receipts are
steadily growing, 800 bales and upwards
being received during the past week.

Musical Entertainment.
i There will be a musical entertainment
at the home of Mr. C. R. Brabham next
Tuesday evening. The proceeds are to be
used for the furnishings of the new Methodist
church. A most excellent program
has been arranged, and a most enjoyable
affair is promised. The public is most
cordially invited to attend. An admission
fee of 25 cents will be charged, and
refreshments will be served free. This is
a most worthy cause, and as all who att
tend will receive their money's worth,
there should be a large crowd present.

Bamberg's new ad. names the different

stock of vehicles in this part of the State,
and prices and terms are right.
SAVANNAH BUGGY CO.
See the new ad. of the Savannah Buggv

H. C. FOLK. ,
Mr. Folk comes out with a new ad.
this week, a new departure for him, as he
has not been much of an advertiser heretofore.
However, he has concluded to
try the value of The Herald as an advertising
medium, and we trust our friends
will show him beyond all doubt that advertising
does pay by giving him the biggest
business this fall he has ever had.
Mr. Folk calls attention to some new
lines of goods which he now carries, notably
ladies' fine dress goods and furniture
of all kinds. Since the completion of his
large new store he uses the upper story
entirely for furniture and carries an immense
stock of high grade stuff at the 1
most reasonable prices. Be sure to read ]
the advertisement, and rest assured that ,
you will find everything exactly as advertised.

A Narrow Escape.
Mrs. E. B. Price had a narrow escape
from death last Saturday afternoon, all
on account of the drunkenness or carelessness
of a negro. She was crossing the
street near her home in the South-western
part of town, and being hard of hearing
she did not hear a buggy come up behind
her. She was struck by either the mule
or buggy and knocked dow-n but fortu- .
nately her injuries were slight. She was
bruised some and shocked badly by the
fright, but - it is thought she will be all
right in a few days. The buggy was 1
driven by a negro, "who whipped up his
mule and drove rapidly out of town. (
Mrs. Price's daughter witnessed the accident
and called to the negro to stop but
he paid no attention.
Q. Frank Bamberg handles the best
buggies and wagons, yet the prices
are reasonable.
Fire Tuesday Night.
Fire broke out in Mr. M. Moye's store
Tuesday night about fifteen minutes to
nine o'clock, just after the store was
closed. Mr. Moye and his clerks and policeman
Dickinson were there when the
store was closed and there was no sign of
fire, but shortly afterwards the fire broke
OUl. Altliuu^u iuo aiai ui nas gucu xuxmediately,
nothing inside the store was
saved, in fact the place was so full of
smoke that no one would venture into
the store at all.
The fire burned so rapidly that it
looked at one time as if the whole block
90, but as soon as possible Mayor Dickinson
made arrangements for the cotton
mill hose and the big steam pump at the
mill was put on. By this means the fire
was confined to Moye's store, but the
whole interior was gutted. The stock is
a total loss, and the building is badly
damaged, as everything except the brick
walls will have to be built new.
. The stocks of J. W. Pearlstin, A. Kirsch,
D. H. Counts & Co., and H. W. Beard
were damaged. Messrs. Pearlstine and <
Kirsch moved their stocks out and the ,
damage in moving is very great. Mr. 1
Counts and Gale & Gale did not move
out their stocks, but the Counts stock was '
damaged by smoke and water. The fix- <
tures in the barber shop of Arthur Nim- *
mons were also much damaged by mov- J
ing. The millinery stock of Gale & Gale ,
was not damaged, being the only occu- ]
pant of the block who was not damaged
either by moving or water.
It is not known how the fire originated.
Mr. Moye had insurance of $3,150 on his
stock and fixtures, and there was $1,100
on the building. The loss of all the others
is covered by insurance. Mr. Kirsch's
stock is in such bad fix that he has closed
his store and will wait on the insurance
' adjusters. Mr. Pearlstin is putting back '
; his stock and straightening it up today.
Mr. Moye does not know at this writing
whether he saved all of his books or not.
He is sure that some of them were in his
safe, but he had not put up everything
for the night carefully as usual, as he expected
to come back by the store after the
lecture at the Baptist church. The store
is not yet cool enough for him to enter
1 and open the safe.
Since the above was in type Mr. Moye
! ha9 entered the store and opened his
; safe and found all of his books in good
! shape. His statement of loss and insur1
ance is as follows; Value of stock, $2,800;
soda fountain, $875.00; store fixtures,
$900; total, $4,575. Insurance on stock,
$2,000; on soda fountain, $600; fixtures,
$550; total, $3,150. His loss is therefore
$1,425.
New Hampshire has an egg farm that
is about the biggest thing in the line yet
heard of. This farm contains eight hundred
acres and six hundred houses, accommodating
eight thousand and four
hundred hens. Gatheringeggsdaily on this
farm must be a little matter like picking
up sixty or eighty bushels of eggs a day. |

FOVGHT EAGLE
"Duel to the "Death Which XOcu
Seen In the Mountains
of Colorado.
An ancient fight?as ancient as the
time dividing bird from serpent?a
fight thoosands of times related ii
the lonely places of earth each year,
bat which man seldom sees, was wit
needed recently by John Wethersby oi
Colorado City, Colo. It was a Strug

a big rattlesnake. Death was referee

nature's code of fang and claw
Man, In the person of Wethersby, pul
In his hand when the two combatant!
bad settled their strife and ended 11
to suit himself?as man always does,
The arena was the big bluffs that mark
how the mountains have crumbled intc
the plain, about twenty miles east oi
Colorado Springs, an open space big
enough for the armies of Manchuria tc
maneuver In.
Among other things, there are twc
that man may not know, so it is said,
"the way of the serpent upon the rock
the eagle soaring in the sky." Bach has
a wonderful power that man does not
understand?does not understand any
more than be does why they always
fight when they meet and that they always
should and will so long as there
are serpents upon the rocks and eagiej
soaring In the sky. If there were nc
eagles the rattlesnake has no enemy ir
the sky or on earth save man to fear.
U? eagle, likewise, has no fear of
anything unless it may be the glisten
log yeflow and brown poison creature
of tbe rocks, the rattler.
Thus it Ores forever, the death fend

How it began Wethers by did not see.
He was standing near tbe top of a big
stony crag that glistened in tbe brighl
light, looking over tbe vast opens and
great basins, when bis attention was attracted
by the flop of something striking
the ground *a few hundred feet
from him. He could not see what it
was, but a moment later be saw an
eagle swoop down and rise slowly,
holding writhing in its mailed claws a
snake. Tbe big bird soared np a hundred
feet or more and shook the snake
loose, which fell twisting and coiling
until it struck with a distinctly audible
flop, the noise that bad first attracted
Wetherbys attention.
Again and again the bird swooped,
arose wKh tbe serpent and dropped H
again, and Wetbersby drew closer and
closer to watch.
Then the eagle?a young one, as
Wetbersby could teQ by its sise and
ptamage?struck and failed to rise. The
man was dose enough now to see everything
that happened.
The young bird bad almost exhausted
