Lost?Full blooded Jersey calf, heifer, about months old, brown color. Reward if returned to G. Frank Bamberg. The rain has come at last, and we all feel better. The dust has b6en fearful for weeks, in fact, little rain has fallen here since the first of August. We hear very little opposition to municipal ownership of the electric light plant, and it seems that the bonds will be voted by a very large majority, fox'. Services will not be held in the new Methodist church next Sunday, but will be held in the Baptist church. The carpet is being put down in the new church this week. The play, "In Old Madrid," which was presented at the opera house Tuesday evening, was witnessed by a large audi. ence, who seemed well pleased at the performance. The Woman's Home Missions Society of the Methodist church will meet next Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock with Mrs. C. R. Brabham. A full attendance of the members is requested. Y Rev.

What's ever become of the movement to get an early morning train out of Bamv berg to Augusta? We have heard nothing of the matter for some weeks, and it surely should not be allowed to drop. The case of Rice against Bamberg has been again decided by the State Supreme Court, and the decision is in favor of Rice. This decision will no doubt end r' - the case. It has been in court more than o six years. We beg to invite you to look at our -,. new stock of cloaks and furs. We can fit anybody. C. R. Brabham a Son. The letter from Mr. J. N. Harper, director of the department of agriculture of V Clemson college, explains itself. There should be an institute held in this county and our farmers should take the necessary steps to that end. . The oil mill experienced trouble in |&" ? running the ginnery and oil mill recently because of the lack of water for the boilers. However, the artesian well at the Fitting School has been tapped, and now the ginnery and mill are running on full time. Thp "Ramhercr rnnntv medical sooietv held a regular quarterly meeting here last Wednesday night. There was a public & 0: ^ , address in the opera house by Dr. Manning Simmons, of Charleston, after which a banquet was served at the Mayflower gpt, I". Subscribers to The Herald will confer a favor upon the publisher by patronizing the merchants and business men who patronize us. They spend their money with us, enabling us to run the paper. Remember this friend, read the ads., and remember them when you go to buy. The circulation of The Herald is constantly and rapidly increasing. New subscribers are continually coming in from all sections of the county, and they are t-r . all cash in advance, too. The Herald covers Bamberg county thoroughly, a fact which is appreciated by our advertisers. Now is the time to get anything in photographs, C. M. VanOrsdell, Jr., photographer, has opened up a studio next to the post office. You will do well to give him a call. Babies a specialty. Views, copying, enlarging, etc. VanObsdell, Jr, Photographer. Mr. W. P. Felder, who is well-known in Bamberg, was married in Walterboro last week to Miss Edna Butler, daughter ! of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Butler. They will i reside in Beaufort, where Mr. Felder is in business. This is Mr. Felder's second marriage, he having married Miss Dot Stephens at this place several years ago. C. R. Brabham & Son have the best line of shoes in the county. They can fit anybody. Have you seen their new line of "American Gentlemen" and "American Lady".shoes? They are "peaches." This newspaper has no candidates for members of the board of public works, but we would like to nominate one man. Mr. D. F. Hooton, cashier of Bamberg , Banking Co., would make a most valuable member of the board, and he ought to be elected. Mr. Hooton is a fine business man, and would look closely after the hriftinpfla of the Dlant. i As city council agreed to pay half the cost of an artesian well at the graded school building, provided, citizens would pay the other half, Messrs. W. C. Koger and ?. C. Bruce were out last Saturday, soliciting funds for the purpose. They were successful. Enough money has been subscribed to bore the well, and the work will begin at an early date. This week we have received the largest and most up-to-date line of hats that have been brought to this town in years. Those grey hats are "beauties." C. R. Brabham & Son. A number of people are thinking of erecting residences or making additions and improvements. Mr. Kirsch has bought a lot from Maj. E. R. Havs on Midway street, next to Mr. Otis "Brabham's, and will soon erect a dwelling. Messrs. G. Frank Bamberg and Jones Williams are to erect handsome residences in the course of a few months. The organ was moved into the new Methodist church last week, and the seats were moved Monday. Services will be held in the new church next Sunday, but the carpet and new pews have not been put in yet. New ends have been ordered for the pews, as they were objected to by the architect, and much trouble has been experienced in securing a man to lay the carpet. |Stoves & ^ A full line of. hea stoves and ranges S are surely right.

WARGODIDOLOFSTOKE How It Was Found In a Colorado Canyon, FIBST BEES HI A EittlBTEUTUli. ArokMologkftl R?lle Di?eovered In Cavern In Bnelukin Mountain* la Bnppoaed to Have Been Left by an Unknown Ilaee CklaelAng on Imaee So Fine Tliat Even the Hair la Thaa Harked on the Idol. An KM of stone?a war god of some hitherto unknown race, apparently neither Indian, Artec nor cliff dweller? has recently been sent from Salt Lake City to the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. In its discovery W. L. Bach tell, who has been sending archaeological specimens to Dr. George P. Merrill of the National museum, has got trace of a lost people, says a Salt Lake City dispatch. The relic was taken from a cavern high on a cliff side where the Buckskin mountains lift their summits nearly 10,000 feet above the silent desert at the Colorado canyon's northern rim and was brought to Salt Lake City. Features of Caucasian cast, about its throat carved chain links and on its stone breast an amulet symbolical of the rising son, the image shows handiwork of some old light worshipers. But men who have studied the potteries and the pointed rocks of the cliff dwellers say some other race than they bowed before It when the first slanting rays found their way over the mountain tope into the cave's rift Bach tell himself is no ordinary man even among the prospectors of the Arizona strip. A Maryland boy, he found his way to the west And among the spurs of the Rocky mountains where they stretch away out from the main range Into the silent reaches of the thirsty desert he has for many years spent a strange, solitary existence, wandering through dry gorges and climbing precipices in search of remnants of prehistoric peoples. Last March he left the Salt Lake route at Las Vegas. He took an outfit and went down into the desert He made his way to the rim of the Grand Canyon of ffie Colorado by a route few men have traveled. Thoee few were prospectors, searching for gold and copper. it IS a streage wuuvrj uua uw iu edge of the Grend canyon. To it the deeert stretches in long plains, from which rise painted mesas. The lofty floor of the Kalbab plateau hangs over one part like a giant roof garden, forest covered, with meadows of flowers. In another, close to the deep gorge, where the river rone more than a mile below, the Bockakln mountains rise right out of the alkaline sands. Bachtell spent three months In these mountains. Be found some arrow heads and many mineral specimens. He was more anxious for these latter at the time than for anything else, and he overlooked no opportunity to talk wtth prospectors. From these be got much valuable Information. To find minerals where life itself is a fight requires a peculiar ability which few even among the prospectors of Utah and Arlsona possess, and so these men, when they told anything, confided Information of value. From one of them Bachtell learned of the stone god. The man had found it while looking for copper, and the story of his discovery sounds uncanny. He was following up some copper float?that is to say, he bad nm on a bit of mineralized xock which be knew most have been detached from a ledge. He went back In the direction whither be knew the ledge must he. It might be miles or rods away. As be went be ran across other float, and some of thk showed richly. He crossed a steep mlAtmA Infn /foon wwwiiuw ywf ? Mwy 0v*fvt following np tbe other side, tolled oil upward toward the crest of the range, where Its backbone lies, sharp and jagged at an attitude of between 9,000 arid lbyOOO feet And ao be bad reached tbe little break where he had made np his mind the outcropping moat show. He settled himself on a Shelf of rock and picked into the rotten formation with his hammer. A email rift suddenly yawned into an open cave mouth aa the fragments fell away before him. He widened the aperture. Before him opened cavern. Eventually he crawled into the place. He lit a candle and aaw a greet chamber in tbe living rock, and to tbe room were signs of life that had been when tbe mountains were young. All these things were of stone. Cooking utensils, bowls and pestles where tbey had pounded their grain and odd Shaped basins littered tbe floor, in tbe middle, right opposite tbe Cava door, was the Image of tbe god. The man told Bacbtell of this, and BacbteO went with him to tbe cliff. Old aa be was at mountain climbing, tbe specimen hunter could not get up the crack In the rocks. The prospector made the cttmb alone. He brought tbe image out and lowered it with a rope. In Salt Lake City Bach tell showed his discovery, and many who had ex-1 plored cliff dwellings inspected it The | idol bod nana of the characteristics of relief tans those places. It was hewn ont with chtaeto, and it Is thought that these were of copper, hardened aftei the manner the ancient Egyptians ured, a process which has been lost for hundreds of years. The chiseling Is so fine that even the hair is thus marked. The links of a chain are carved about the nack and a circular amulet at their end. Its upper half has the divergent rays of a rising sun.
