The delay in issuing The Herald last
week was not the fault of this office. The
express company failed to deliver our
supply of paper in time.
A good friend away out West writes:
"Enclosed find one dollar for Herald to

week with much pleasure."

The Herald job office is just finishing
up one of the largest jobs ever handled
by a country office. It is a job of 8,000
pamphlets of 36 pages, and the work on
it is something immense.
The bank and post office were closed

holiday from Friday to Monday.

It is likely that the church will be

On account of the increase in prices of
everything connected with the printing
business, The Herald will be forced to
charge $5.00 for all candidates' cards this
year. Our space is worth that to all
other advertisers and we cannot afford to
make a cheaper rate to candidates.

the inspection will be conducted by an

Mr. J. A. Spann is rebuilding the

a wise move. Wooden buildings in rear

be glad if every business man would
realize their danger.
A very interesting meeting of Bamberg
lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held
last Monday evening. There was a good
attendance of the members. The rank of
Page was conferred on Mr. Geo. H.
Smoak, and the rank of Esquire upon
Dr. Geo. F. Hair, J. Aldrich Wyman,
Esq., and Mr. H. W. Beard. It is safe to
-say that each of these gentlemen will always
remember the lesson. The rank of
Knight will be conferred at the next
meeting.

from Columbia when the legislature adjourned
on Saturday, returning with Mrs.
Black and the children on Monday. Little

Electric Light Matters.
Mr. J. B. McCrary, the consulting engineer
for Bamberg's electric light plant,
was in the city last Friday, conferring
with the board of public works as to the
final plans and specifications for the
plant. These were adopted by the board,

Pleasant Entertainment.
A benefit entertainment was given in
the chapel of the Carlisle Fitting School
on Monday evening, February 26th,
which was a success in every way.
A large and appreciative audience received
each number enthusiastically, and
encouraged those who took part with
hearty applause. Frequent were the encores,
and in this was a source of satisfaction,
for there is no greater pleasure
that can come to any one trying to entertain
than to have the audience want
to "hear him again."
All who attended seemed to be in an
"excellent" humor, and the expressions
of approval were many, as the audience
dissembled. In fact, many asserted that
it was the best given in the chapel for
many a day.
It would be manifestly unfair to vote
any one number the best. Every one
who took part did himself or herself
"proud."
The students of the school announce
that they will possibly give a series of
entertainments for the same purpose for
which this one was given. If so, and the
first is an indication of what is to follow,
the chapel should have "standing room

The ladies under whose management
the entertainment was given, wish to
lhank the town friends of the institution,
who so ably assisted with the program,
and also thank the public for so liberal a

Bank Meeting.
A special meeting of stockholders of
Bamberg Banking Company was held
yesterday at eleven o 'clock. Mr. Jno. H.
Cope was elected vice-president to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Maj. E. R.
Hays, and Mr.E. C. Hays was elected a
director, he filling the vacancy caused by
the death of his father. The board of
directors was increased from five to
seven, and W. D. Rhoad and Henry F.
Bamberg were elected as the two new
directors.
The matter of the bank going into
liquidation at the close of this year was
discussed, and it was decided not to do so.
The matter of moving the bank over
the railroad in the business section of the
town was discussed, and it is probable
that a lot will be purchased and a handsome
building erected in the near future.
The meeting was a most harmonious one,
and all seemed well pleased with the admirable
management of the bank's affairs.

Eyes Tested-Frames Fitted.
Dr. J. Silver, of No. 1 Silver Block,
Augusta, Ga., who has a State-wide reputation

defective eyes, will be at H. E. Dickinson's
jewelry store on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, March 5th, 6th and
7th. He has shown us recommendations
from the leading men all over Georgia
and South Carolina, and from them we
feel warranted in saying that his work is
up-to-date and all right.
"Doctor," said the shrewd-looking
I man. "how many feet of gas does it take
to kill a man?" ~ "That's rather a queer
question," replied the doctor. "Why do
you wish to know?" "One of my guests
at the hotel used enough of it to kill
himself, and I want to send in a proper
bill to his executors."?Philadelphia

STOET OP THE GENEEAL'S FBIEND
Carl Gathori, Who Related Incident
Recently Made Public, Said Confederate
President, However, Would
Not Countenance Mutiny Scheme on
Union Vessel?Escape to Bermudas
Was Carefully Planned.
The death of General Joseph Wheeler
of Alabama, the hero of two great
wars and personal friend of President
Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy,
has brought to light a plan to rescue
the Imprisoned head of the Confederacy,
which was not put into execution
because of the objection of Davis, says
a special dispatch from Memphis,
Tenn., to the St Louis Republic.
Wheeler was the author of this plan.
The story which was recently given
to the American public for the first
time was related by General Wheeler
to his friend and confidant Carl
Guthurz, the noted artist of Washington,
who has been in Memphis engaged
In painting some portraits for the
historic Semmes family. Mr. Guthura
was formerly a resident of Memphis
and is well known to the older citizens
there.
"I painted General Wheeler's portrait
several years ago," he said while
entertaining some rrienas m nis studio
. recently, "and It was during his
sitting one day that he told me this
story. I knew him intimately for
years. We.occupied adjoining housbs
in Washington, and he never visited
the capital without coming to see me.
"I shall not attempt to give you his
words, but will merely outline the story
as he told it to me, sitting facing
me as I worked over his portrait and
talking with that wonderful animation
which always possessed him when interested.
"You know he was with President
Davis on board the transport by which
that official, after his capture by General
Wilson, was carried to his incarceration
in Fortress Monroe. I do not
now remember 'the names of all the
Confederates who accompanied their
president on that voyage, but among
them were General Joseph Wheeler, his
adjutant, General Ralls; Major Moran,
Captain Moody and President Davis'
private secretary, Burton N. Harrison.
"There were, if my memory serves
me right, somewhere between fifteen
and twenty captured Confederates who
were permitted, or required, to accompany
their chief as a sort of bodyguard,
and of this bodyguard General
Wheeler was, as I understand It, the
recognized leader.
"The vessel in which they were being
taken to Fortress Monroe, as the
nmviui oit+irtTiffh thpv imacrlned
CfCllfc ^AVTV^I ?Q- ^
at the time that they were destined for
Washington, was, as President Davis
himself has declared, 'an old transport
ship, hardly seaworthy.' She had on
boajd in addition to the mariners required
for her management a complement
of Union soldiers, who went along
as guards for the captured Confederates.
"You know what a daring man General
Wheeler was. I believe no situation
ever became so desperate that be
was not ready to face it, and we who
know the story of his life can testify
that he won out in his undertakings,
too, however desperate they might
have appeared to others at times.
"The fertile brain of the gallant little
fighter conceived the project of overpowering
the Union guard, capturing
the vessel by force and making off
with her to the Bermudas. Once landed
there they would be on British soil
and out of reach of the federal government
"I remember vividly how his eyes
sparkled and glowed and how nervously
enthusiastic he became as he described
to me In detail how he had
planned it all out; how certain members
of the body guard were to throttle
the guard at the head of the companion
way and disarm him and how
certain others were to attack other
guards stationed In different parts of
the transport ship at the same moment
"As he conceived the plan it could
not have failed of success. All it required
was that President Davis should
assent to It But Davis absolutely refused
to countenance the plan when It
was laid before him. It was In vain
that they pleaded and argued and reasoned.
* The war Is over/ he told them firmly.
'My escape now can be of no benefit
to my people. For my personal safety
I have no concern. I am a prisoner
of war. What becomes of me Is of little
moment We can serve no good
purpose by effecting this escape. Let
us make no further resistance.'
"And so no attempt was made to car- I
ry the plan Into execution, and, as far
as I am aware, the world has never
heard of It until now. But I feel sure
that General Wheeler, In spite of bis
love and reverence for President Davis,
never became quite reconciled to
the idea that he had done the wisest
thing in refusing to permit this mutiny
on his own behalf upon that Union
transport ship."
For Upright Writing.
A leagye has been formed in Paris
for upright writing, says the New York
Times. It takes as its motto a phrase
from George Sand: "Upright writing on
horizontal paper wild ine oouy ueiu
straight" The league crusades against
the English and American style of
writing, slanting and angular, which,
It says, is no longer really taught In
England and America. Slanting writing
Is said to cause short sight "schollosis,"
and many other optical troubles.
