THE BAMBEBG HERALD Thursday, April 26, 1906 Short Locals. Mr. F. M. Smoak has sold out his stock of groceries to Mr. S. A. Kinard. Nothing doing yet in the matter of erecting a new freight warehouse. Truly winter seems to be lingering in the lap of spring. Parties say they saw frost Tuesday morning. There will be no preaching at the Baptist church next Sunday, on account of the absence of the pastor, Rev. A. J. r usici. Mr. W. B. Cbitty, of Olar, has entered the great corn contest. About thirty farmers in this State have entered the contest. Mr. W. B. Rustin, the photographer, moved his family to town last week, and they are occupying the Fishburne house on Carlisle street. The first dispensary profits for this year to the public schools was distributed last week. Bamberg county gets $166.04, and Barnwell $187.00 Rev. A. J. Foster is attending the missionary rally at Great Salkebatchie Baptist church this week. Miss Birdie Gill is also attending this meeting. Dr. John O. Willson, president of Lander college, preached at the Methodist church last Sunday morning, and Rev. S. H. Zimmerman at the Baptist church. The railroad meeting is to take place in the court house here the first Monday in May, the 7th. Let a large crowd be present. Tbi9 is an important matter. The road must be built. It is expected that the oil mill here will finish its work for the season the latter part of this week.* The annual meeting of stockholders is to be held the first Monday in May, the 7th. In another column Mrs: S. ?. Sandifer and Mr. L. G. Sandifer offer a reWard of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who cut their mill dam on the night of April 17th. If all the people of Bamberg county will take some interest in the matter, the nronosed Confederate monument at this place can easily be erected. Will they do this honor to oar Confederate dead? You can sing "shoo fly, don't bother me," if you will use the wire doors and window screens I am selling. Call at Brickie's bicycle shop and see them. L. B. Fowleb. We Understand that the work of soliciting subscriptions to the capital stock of a company to erect a cotton warehouse in Bamberg will begin in a few days. The necessary money ought to be easily raised. Nothing more stylish or dressy for the -money than that linen finish cannon cloth at lGc a yard. W. D. Rhoad. There was a very small attendance at 1 the Knights of Pythias meeting last Monday evening. The absence of several officers is a thing to be deplored. When , . a member is elected to fill an office he 8boald never miss a meeting. ' The Pearlstine insurance case was de- 1 cided by the Supreme Court last week, . and the judgment of the circuit judge < was reversed and the case sent back for a new trial. This is a victory for Pearl- ' stine, as the circuit judge decided against ( him. < Nice lot of box paper at cost and below, ' to close out, at Dickinson's jewelry store. | The backs of the seats in the Methodist church are being badly scratched by persons resting tbeirfeet against them. This is a bad practice, and we trust those who have -been indulging in it will discon- 1 tinue it. These pews are handsome and j they should not be defaced in such a , manner. The suggestion that the Orangeburg district parsonge be transferred to Bam- ( berg has met with much favor among our RamWor is nearer the renter V/l t t??^/UC? l^MU* vva ^ ?W ?? _. of the district than Orangeburg, and our people would furnish a Tot and erect a nice building for the residence of the presiding elder. Shoes are higher, but by carrying such a large stock Ibave many to offer you at old prices. W. D. Rhoad. Estimates have been received from contractors for the new building for the Bamberg Bankiug Company. The plans are for a handsome building with pressed brick front, metal ceiling, and all up-todate and tnodern conveniences. It is thought that the bank officials will decide to erect a three story building. Through an oversight we neglected to -state last week that one of the most beautiful parts of the Easter service at the Methodist ehurch in this city was the reception of nineteen young people into the church by the pastor, Rev. Peter Stokes Several of the applicants for church membership were baptized. The annual memorial exercises of the Rivers' Bridge Memorial Association are to be held to-day (Thursday.) We under: stand that Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, speaker of the house of representatives, N and J. F. Carter, Esq., of Bamberg, will deliver addresses. As usual, a number of / people from this city will attend the exercises. Mr. H. J. Brabham has taken up the matter of erecting a Confederate monument at this place, and will no doubt push the matter to a successful conclusion. It will be remembered that this matter was agitated a year or so ago and the ladies raised about $200 in cash. Several hundred more was subscribed and it is now proposed to collect these subscriptions and raise enough money by additional subscriptions to build the monument. A few weeks ago city council issued 1 instructions to the policemen to notify all parties who had gates opening on the * * ? * hof thlO TXTQ O BldewaiKS Ol iuc tvnu tuai iiuig i.us against the law and they must be changed. We know that the policemen notified a number of people, and yet very few gates have been changed. We changed our gates and we think other people should be compelled to comply with the law. Very little attention has been paid to the orders of council, but if a few violators were brought before council and fined there would be a change. The editor of The Herald, as secretary of the recent railroad meeting, has sent out to the chairmen of the various committees a number of blanks for rights of way. Each chairman of these committees will distribute the blanks to the other members of his committee. These committees are urged to have as many of these blanks signed up as possible by the first Monday in May, for then the meeting will be in position to act intelligently as to the route. If you want the road through your section, see the committee and grant a right of way through your land. 7 After the first of May A. C. Griffin will sell goods only for cash. An assortment of clocks at $1.00 to $8 00, at Dickinson's jewelry store. The public is invited to a basket picnic on the Colston school grouuds, Saturday, May oth, given to celebrate the close of the Colston school. The Bamberg Democratic club meets in the court house Saturday afternoon at four o'clock to reorganize and elect delegates to the county convention. In another column Governor Heyward offers a reward of $150.00 for the capture and conviction of John Anderson, who is concerned in the killing of youug Cutter at Midway recently. Remember the games of base ball here next Monday and Tuesday between the Fitting School and second team of South Carolina College. The games will be played on the Fitting School grounds. For midsummer wear I have a strong line printed lawns, French organdies, Persian lawns, mulls, etc. See these before buying. W. D. Rhoad. Why can't Bamberg have an express delivery? Other towns not so large as Bamberg have this convenience, and we can see no reason why our town should not be entitled to the same privileges and benefits as other.places. There will be two games of baseball here next Monday and Tuesday afternoons between the Carlisle Fitting School and the second team of the South Carolina College. The games will be played on the Fitting School grounds. ' This is a white season, and I can furnish you from shoes to parasol, all in white. W. D. Rhoad. There should be a good crowd in town the first Monday. The railroad meeting, county contention, and E. D. Smith's speech should bring people from all over the county. The railroad is the most important matter of all, and we trust every man interested in the enterprise will attend the meeting. Another Ballet Foand. Last week Magistrate W. R. Wright and Dr. C. E. Kinsey went to Charleston and had the body of Willie Cutter disinterred. He is the young man who was recently killed at Midway by two negroes, The body was buried at Magnolia cemetery in Charleston. Another bullet was found in the body. It had taken effect in the left arm. gone through it and, striking a rib, had gone round in the back. The bullet was cut out of the body, and is now in the custody of the officers. Isaiah Bartley, who has been confined in jail since the killing, was released on bond one day last week. A motion for bail was made before Judge Watts and bail was granted in the sum of $2,000. Mr. J. D. Copeland and the negro's father Bigned the bond. There is a general belief that Bartley is the party who shot Cutter. The testimony of the eve-witnesess is that they could not say who did the shooting, but that Bartley cursed Cutter and that Anderson told him to come on and let the white man alone. It is also said that Anderson did not own a pistol but Bartley lid. However, Anderson is likely to be captured, and it is to be noped that he will be caught and both negroes tried for the killing.

The following telegram was received a few days ago by G. Moye Dickinson, agent of the Continental Fire Insurance | Company: G. M. Dickinson, Bamberg, 8. C. If San Francisco is wiped out the Continental's loss cannot exceed two and one half million dollars. After paying our losses we will have at least fifteen million dollars of assets left. If we lose two and a half million dollars many other companies will fail. Put your good business in the Continental. The safety fund law under which we operate and have special funds on deposit with New York State authorities at Albany would protect anyContinental policyholder, even if two more cities should burn. Henry Evans, President. Fitting School Changes. A meeting of the board of control of the Carlisle Fitting School was held here last Thursday. At this meeting Mr. H. G. Sheridan tendered his resignation as Headmaster, to take effect at the close of the present session. Mr. J. G. Stabler, second assistant, also resigned, and he will practice law after the school year ends. The board reelected Mr. W. D. Roberts as first assistant. The board decided to advertise for applications for a Headmaster, second as. sistant, and music teacher. DEVIL'S ISLAND TORTURE is no worse than the terrible case of piles that afflicted me 10 years.

GriffinJ AN HOUR'S WALK. Ton Would Hardly Think It M*an+ Traveling 85,253 Miles. Have you ever thought of the di& tance you travel -when you are out on au hour's stroll? Possibly you wait three miles within the hour, but that does not by any means represent the distance you travel. The earth turns on its axis every twenty-four hours. For the sake of round figures, we will call the earth's circumference 24,000 miles, and so you must have traveled during the hour's stroll 1,000 miles in thp nvi.il turn of the earth. But this is not all. The earth makes a journey around the sun every year, and a long but rapid trip it is. The distance of our planet from the sun we will put at 92,000,000 miles. This Is the radius of the earth's orbit?half the diameter of the circle, as we call it. The whole diameter is therefore 184,000.000 miles, and the circumference, being the diameter multiplied by 3.1416, is about 578,000,000. This amazing distance the earth travels in its yearly Journey, and dividing it by 365 we find the daily speed about 1,586,000. Then we get the distance you rode around the sun during your hour's walk, divide again by twentyfour, and the result is about 66,000 miles. But this is not the end of your hour's trip. The sun, with its entire brood of planets. Is moving in space at the rate of 160,000,000 miles in a year. That is at the rate of a little more than 438,000 miles a day, or 18,250 miles an hour. So, adding your three miles of leg travel to the hour's axial movement of the earth, this to the earth's orbital Journey and that again to the earth's excursion with the sun, and you find you have traveled in the hour 85,253 IU11VO* CRUDE HOUSEKEEPING. Domestic Methods In England In the Fourteenth Century. Carpets were unknown luxuries in England in the fourteenth century, but the fashion of strewing the apartments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Rushes were still used in the retainers' hail, but for the better rooms sweet scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed. Windows were apertures filled with glass so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated the strong but badly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that it was the duty of the serving men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned damp and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the atmosphere in such constantly closed rooms, fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies. From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scantily furnished were these ancient mansions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with flagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made of leather.?London Standard. Gems and Disease. Many curious stories of the healing of blindness and diseases Dy gems are to be found in ancient works, and it is said that the Emperor Theodosius was cured of blindness by a stone of great brilliancy whicb was laid on his eyes. What this stone was history unfortunately does not say. The diamond, ruby, emerald and opal were supposed to warn the owner of danger by changing color. Pliny says of the diamond that it is not only an antidote to poison, but that it has the power to free the mind from vain fears and to give bravery. Worn in the ephod of the high priest it determined innocence or guilt and was used to detect accused persons. This gem is dedicated to April, and, worn by those born In that month, is lucky.?Myerson's Magazine. There Is Plenty of Coal. Every now and then some statistician with too much liver utters figures showing that the world's coal supply will last only a few hundreds of years. Make it many, many thousands. China has coal to burn?400,000 square miles of coal fields, some say. Japan has plenty more. Roumania has enough for the Balkan states if ever they stop burning powder and one another's houses. America's bin will be full for centuries on centuries. Great Britain and Germany will not be coalless soon. Let us worry about something else.? Everybody's Magazine. t Tennyson's Prediction.
