Sty? Hambrrg Ijrralh Thursday, June 21,1906 Short Locals. For Sale.?One hundred syrup jugs at 35c each. Moye's Grocery Store. We are having fair weather this week, And the farmers are killing grass at a rapid rate. Work is going forward on the new freight depot. The work is to be pushed uninlv t.n r?nmnletion. 1 The Miller Lumber Company has sold out its mill at Ulmer to the Breon Lumber Co., of Williamsport, Pa. Cotton ought to be worth a good price this fall if the rains of last week prevailed to any extent in the cotton belt. Another cotton bloom was received at The Herald office last Saturday, sent in by Mr. L. B. Yam, of Branch ville. Mr. Vernon Brabham, formerly of this city, but now of Cope, is to be married in Greenville next Wednesday to Miss Margaret Cope. Mr. J. Crum Smoak announces himself in this issue as a candidate for Magistrate of Fishpond Township. Crum will make a good officer. The wiring of residences and stores for electric lights ought to go forward with a rush now. Two firms arc here now to do this work. If you want to be up-to-date and keep op with the procession, you must use electric lights and quit patronizing the Standard Oil Company. Be sure to attend the waterworks mass meeting in the town hall this (Thursday) nffaimnnn ot si*- r?Vinrk_ The meeting Oil VV4 U wu mv wa? v ?. w should be a representative one. Episcopal services "will be held at the Presbyterian church in this city nest Tuesday evening at 8.30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Harold Thomas. All are cordially invited to attend. A runaway mule created some excitement on Main street last Saturday afternoon. The buggy was demolished against a tree near the cotton mill, but the negro driver was not hurt. The county executive committee wants more candidates to announce for county offices. There will not be enough money to pay expenses of the primary unless more candidates are in the field.' Remember the State campaign meeting for this county is to take place^here next Tuesday. Come out and hear the platforms of the various candidates, in order that you may vote intelligently. The walls for the power house for the electric plant are going up rapidly, and the engine foundation is being put in. ^ * Work on the pole line is also being pushed, and most of the poles are set. The recent heavy rains have badly damaged crops in this section. It seems now that many farmers will not make over two-thirds of a crop, if that much. Lands have been badly washed up. There will be two normal scholarships from this county in the South Carolina University vacant this year. The examination is to be held at the court house early next month. See the ad. in this issue. County Chairman H. C. Folk has called the ronntv executive committee to meet in the court house next Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. There should be a full attendance, as business of importance is to be transacted. Carl Smith, a sixteen-year-old cotton mill operative, was drowned in the Congaree river last Monday while in swimming. Charlie Johnson, a boy about Smith's size, made heroic efforts to save him but could not. Come out and give the speakers a respectful hearing at the campaign meeting next Tuesday. You can't vote for them all, but we owe it to every candidate to give him a quiet and respectful hearing, no matter whether we endorse his views or not. Moye's grocery store is the first place in town to have an electric fan. He has bought a handsome electrolier ceiling fan, which has four lights underneath the fan. Others in town will no doubt put them in also. Mr. Moye has the fan placed near his fine soda fountain. Attend the mass meeting of citizens in the town hall this (Thursday) afternoon, The question of fire protection is a serious one and our citizens should be deeply interested in the proposition which is now up for consideration. Attend the meeting and let your views be known. Better have your house and store wiring done before the rush comes. It is only a few weeks now until the plant will be ready to start up, and there should be a large number of consumers of private . lights when the current is turned on. Get an estimate on your work right ftWUV. The list of customers for electric lights is being added to this week. But they should be more and come faster. The 3>lant ought to have at least one thousand private lights when the current is turned on August 1st. Show your patriotism by patronizing an institution owned and controlled by the town. The board of control of the Carlisle Fitting School have selected the second ^assistant teacher for the school. He is Mr. J. C. Guilds, of Cordesville, S. C., and graduated this year at Wofford College. Miss Lena Walser has been re-elected as teacher of music and elocution. The faculty of the school is now complete. The State campaign meeting is to be held here next Tuesday, the 26th. The meeting will be held in the court house. ' There are a number of candidates for governor and other State offices, and no doubt some good speeches will be made. ' The speaking will begin at eleven o'clock - - - Til -1 in tne morning, mere suuuxu uc a xaigo -crowd of voters present. The board of trustees of the Bamberg graded school have elected Miss Victoria 1 Dantzler as a teacher in the school, she .filling the vacancy caused by the declination of Miss Mattie Ketchin, of Winnsboro, who had already accepted a position in the Denmark school. Miss Dantzler is from the Holly Hill section, and is a younger sister of Miss Mattie Dantzler, who taught here last year. She graduated at Winthrop College this year and comes highly recommended. Rev. Peter Stokes preached a strong, practical sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday morning on law and order. In speaking of the dispensary investigating committee, he deplored the fact that prominent citizens had stultified themselves by dodging questions, and he brought it home to us locally by asking what would our citizens do when questioned as to gambling, illegal liquor selling, or other violations of law. It was a sermon very applicable to affairs at this time, and his hearers were much pleased. Mach damage was done all over the State by the heavy rains of last week. Mr. Alf G. Hays, formerly of this city but now of Greenwood, is to be married in Apalackicola, F!a., next Wednesday morning to Miss Annie Louise Gibsou. The ceremony is to take place in the Methodist church at six o'clock Wednes-1 day morning. Miss Gibson has visited ' in Bamberg and made many friends I , while here. They will make their home . in Greenwood. j The State campaign meeting at St. George Tuesday was a quiet affair. All of the eight candidates for governor were Dresent and addressed the meeting. As three of the gubernatorial candidates are . strongly against the dispensary, it seems likely that the workings of the great , moral institution will receive proper attention during the campaign. The race for comptroller general promises to be a warm one. The candidates for governor 1 speak fifteen minutes and all other candidates five minutes. The aggregation will speak in Bamberg next Tuesday. New Advertisements. Theodore Kohn?Pretty White Dresses for Sweet Summer Girls. H. C. Folk, County Chairman?Notice. M. Moye?Steam Baked Bread.

Drop President Peterson a card, and he will take pleasure in sendiDg you a catalogue. You will be pleased with it. PIEDMONT ELECTRIC CO. This firm has a representative in Bamberg for the purpose of wiring stores, residences, etc., for electric lights. They have the contract for the electrical work at the cotton mill. See Mr. Dodenhoff at the Johnston Hotel and get his estimate for your wiring. The Waterworks Proposition. Through the efforts of Mayor Dickinson and the editor of this paper, a conference was had here last Friday between city cotincil and Mr. J. B. McCrary. of Atlanta, engineer for the city electric light plant, in regard to waterworks for fire protection on main street. Mr. Jno. H. Cope, president of the cotton mill, has shown much interest in this matter of fire protection, and at his suggestion the matter was taken up recently. Mr. Cope has agreed to allow the use of the cotton mill's fire pump, getting water from their large new reservoir. However, it seems to be the general desire that the town should put in a pump at the electric light plant, connecting on to the mill's boilers for steam in the day time and getting water from the mill's reservoir. In case of fire at night the boilers at the light plant would be utilized. Mr. McCrary offers to put in the pump, hydrants, pipe, connections, etc., all complete for $4,000, and fully equip the fire department for $1,000 more, making a total cost of $5,000, which would save us $1,000 a year as well as giving fire protection. The plan is to put in 10-inch pipe from the light plant to the railroad, 8 inch pipe across the railroad in front of the court house, and 8-inch pipe from Hays's corner to the cotton mill corner. The Southeastern Tariff Association has been consulted by Mayor Dickinson and Engineer McCrary, and full details for the installation of the system have beeii secured. The Association will, if the waterworks are put in according to their specifications, place this town (or rather the property within five hundred feet of the water mains) on a third-class rating instead of a fourth-class as at present. Every step that has been taken is in accord with their plans and every requirement will be carried out. All these matters will be explained at the meeting Thursday afternoon, and the letter from the Association guaranteeing the reduction in rates will be read. If you want waterworks, come out and say so. Whatever your opinion is, come to the meeting. Hunter's Chapel Protracted Meeting The annual protracted meeting at Hunter's Chapel will begin on the fourth Sunday in July and continue four or five days. Rev. W. R. Smith, the pastor, will be assisted by Rev. A. J. Foster, of Bamberg. 'j Cotton Stolen. A bale of cotton belonging to Mr. H. C. Folk was stolen from the railroad platform last Saturday night. Suspicion pointed to Ed. Kirkland, a negro, and he was arrested Sunday and put in jail. On Monday he waived a preliminary hearing and was released on bond. The cotton has not been recovered yet, but it is thought it will be found in a short time. It is said that the circumstantial evidence against Kirkland is strong. A Fine Ounortunlty for a Toung Man. The University of South Carolina offers scholarships in the Normal Department to two young men from each county. Each scholarship is worth $40 in money, besides remission of $40 tuition and $18 matriculation or "term" fee. The money is paid at the rate of $5 a month for eight months, to assist in meeting the necessary living expenses. ^ Examination will be held Frn ay, July 6th, before the County Board of Education. Applicants should be at least 19 years of age, and preferably teachers. Write President Benjamin Sloan, South Carolina University, Columbia, S. C., for blank on which to apply before July 6th.

Celebrities are often the recipients of quaint presents. For instance, on the marriage of Queen Victoria the farmers of East and West Pennard, ,&j*nersetshire, wishing to show their Kfralty, manufactured from the milk of 750 cows an immense cheese nine feet in circumference. The gift was graciously accepted and was stored at Buckingham palace, where it would undoubtedly have found its way to the royal table had 'not its donors wished to exhibit it as an advertisement Their request was granted, but after it uau ueen eitiiuiLeu uuu uuc uia&cio would have returned it her majesty signified that owing to the altered conditions she could not accept it as a gift An equally homely gift was made to the late King Charles of Wurttemburg on the morning of his marriage to Princess Olga of Russia. A peasant woman sent hint a pair of trousers of her own design, with a note expressing the hope that they might be found a better cut and fit than those which she had last had the honor of seeing his majesty wear. The Italian singer, Signor Mario, inspired a hopeless passion in the hearts of so many women that at the time of his wedding some of this' affection found expression in various strange gifts. One was in the shape of a cushion stuffed with tresses from the heads of many of his hopeless admirers. Another was from a lady in Munich who had had one of her teeth set in a scarfpin surrounded with pearls and emeralds. In an accompanying note she expressed the hope that by sometimes wearing the gift he might be reminded of his unknown worshiper.?New York Herald. THE FIRST SPECTACLES. They Were Made In Italy In the Thirteenth Century. Spectacles were invented late in the thirteenth century. The use of glass to aid the sight of defective eyes is, however, much older. Nero looked through a concave glass in watching the gladiatorial games, and many other historical men of his day were dependent on similar devices for lengthening their sight Till the latter part of the thirteenth century only the single glass was in * use. In 1290 the double glass was invented, and in the fourteenth century spectacles were used quite frequently by the very wealthy and high born, although they were still so scarce that they were bequeathed in will with all the elaborate care that marked the disposition of a feudal estate. The first spectacles were made in Italy. Somewhat later the manufacture of cheaper glasses sprang up in Holland, and it spread late in the fourteenth century to Germany, Nuremberg and Rathenow acquired fame for their glasses between 1490 and 1500. For many years glasses were used only as a means of aiding bad eyes, until the fashion of wearing merely for the sake of wearing them sprang up in Spain. It spread rapidly to the rest of th? continent and brought about the transformation of the old thirteenth century spectacles into eyeglasses and eventually into the monocle. Qalduilve^ Quicksilver is round in veins oi rocks, like gold, silver and other metals. Sometimes the tiny globules of the mercury appear In the interstices of the rock, but usually It is found in the form of cinnabar, a chemical compound containing 13.8 per cent of sulphur and 8&2 per cent mercury. When pure and reduced to a powder it is a bright red color. The principal uses of quicksilver are for removing free gold and silver in placer and quartz mining, for manufacturing vermillion paints and dyes, for backing mirrors, for making thermometers and many other scientific instruments. ' What Water Did. A certain liquor dealer, a hard headed old Scot grew rich in the trade. After he had grown rich the old man built himself a fine house, a limestone mansion on the hill, with a park around it with conservatories, stables and outbuildings?in a word, a palace. One day the old Scot rode in the omnibus past his fine boose. A temperance man pointed np at the grand edifice and said, with a sneer, It was the whisky built that wasnt ttT* "Na, na, man; the water;'* the Scot answered.? The Vint ta??klrt. There Si an Indian legend that Brahma, the creator, once committed a sin that ha might know the torments of remorse and thus be able to sympathize with mortals. But the moment he had committed it he began repeating the mantras, or prayers of purification, and In bis grief dropped on the earth a tear, the hottest that ever fell from an eye, and from It was formed the first sapphire.
