' ^ / ; 'V" f Sty? Hamburg Srralh Thursday, August 16,1906 ; I Short Locals. This is the dull season but we have re- 1 eeived a number or new subscribers recently.

Folk gives notice of the primary election to be held the 28th instant, with the names of the managers. Remember the county campaign meeting here next Wednesday, the 22nd instant. This will no doubt be the last meeting before the primary. The children's band of the Baptist church will serve ice cream at the town hall next Wednesday, August 22nd, from 10 o'clock a. m. to eight o'clock p. m. Mrs. A. McB. Speaks, of Varnville, has retired from the millinery business, and , has sold her stock to Mr. and Mrs. Noah W. Rentz, who will continue the business at the same stand. N The next county campaign meeting for this county is to be held in the court house in this city next Wednesday, the 22nd instant. Come out and hear the candidates tell you why they should receive your votes. Nellie Sou, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Silcox, of this place, died on 1 Monday and was buried the following day in the new cemetery, Rev. A. J. Foster f?nndnr.tiner the funeral services. She 1 was aged five years and six months. Last Friday evening there was a very i pleasant sociable given at the home of I Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Simmons, compli- , mentary to the visiting young folks. There was quite a crowd present and all ' expressed themselves as having a good < time. 1 Charles Gibson, the colored electric lineman for the Electric Supply Co. for a , number of years, and who has been here assisting in the installation of Bamberg's ' plant, has been sick for some weeks but < is out and at work again. Charley is one j of the company's most faithful employees, j Col. Folk ,tells us that the Bamberg Guards made the best showing on the recent Chickamauga encampment that ' they have ever made on like occasions. y He says in the review by Governor Hey- , ward and staff, the Guards passed the reviewing stand like a company of regulars. Our people should discontinue the s practice of asking questions of a candi- 1 date while he is speaking. A man should t be allowed to make his speech without interruptions. If you want to ask any questions, write them out and hand them 1 up to the chairman before the speaking L ^ begins. % The building for the Peoples' Bank is r receiving the fiuishing touches, and the t bank will open up for business in a short time. The metal ceiling and tile floor f makes the building especially attractive, s It is certainly a nice bank building, and t the furniture and fixtures will also be handsome. A State convict escaped from the chain gang one night last week. The night guard went to unlock a trusty who was t the cook, and unlocked the wrong man, f who escaped. Supervisor Bruce is mak- c ing diligent efforts to recapture him, and will no doubt succeed, as none have got- ten away yet but what have been recap- s tured. " I The engine for the electric light plant 1 has not arrived yet, and it is likely that ] the plant will not be ready for some ( weeks yet. The engine was to have been shipped last Saturday, the 11th. The arc * lights are up and most of the other work f is finished. The transformers and meters j for the incandescent lights have not been I, placed yet. J The primary draws near and the political pot is beginning to simmer right f along. It will get warmer no doubt as r the day for the election sppr caches. We presume the usual campaign rumors will be afloat, but our people should pay no attention to them. Investigate for yourself and vote for the best man. Don't t pay any attention to idle tales. As a gen- g eral thing you can bear most any sort of . stories circulated during a campaign. Miss Harriett Gandy, having accepted 1 a position for the coming season with , Mrs. K. X. Shuck & Co., and going to s Bamberg last week at the request of her jj employers for the purpose of becoming acquainted, took in Varnville for a few * duys on her way back to Darlington, at r *" which former place she was the guest of f ?

We trust that our job work patrons and other friends who have business transactions with us will pardon our seeming neglect for the past two weeks or so. Our new press came in and we had to set it up with our force one man short. It was a considerable job, as we had to take down and ship the old press as well as putting up the new one. This with other troubles threw our paper late last week. To make matters worse, on Wednesday we found that the chases for our forms did not fit the bed of the new press, and we had to send them to Orangeburg to get them planed down. They were sent back still too large, but through the kind ess of Patrick's machine shop and Mr. J. M. Jennings they were fixed all right on Thursday, Mr. Jennings grinding off the amount necessary on an emery wheel. While getting out our paper we were notified of the serious illness of our father and on account of being away because of his death and burial, we were put still further behind with our work. But Mr. Young is back from Chickanauga, and our entire force is working aard to catch up, and in a few days /we ivill be in position to deliver work aromptly and give good attention to all natters entrusted to us. For the reasons itated we trust our patrons will bear with i is. We like to be prompt, but it has >een impossible recently. The whole force is delighted with the lew cylinder press. It is a better and ] nore up-to-date machine than our form- j ;r press, having a number of improve- ] nents and not being worn. It does beauiful work, and just as soon as we can ( >ut our new type in the cases, you will 1 ee a still greater improvement in the ypographical appearance of The Herald. Coming Marriage.

A remarkable ceremony recently took place at Echternach, in Luxembourg. It was the annual dance of the epileptics. From all over Europe came thousands of unfortunates, led to Echternach by their faith in the healing THKTMTJ8T DANCE A MILS AK3> A QUABTZB. properties of the bones of St. Will fred. St Willfred was a great Disnop of ancient Germany, and to him are ascribed many miracles. Epileptics were especially looked after by him, says tradition, and with the passing of the centuries his fame has grown until now a visit to his resting place is belieted to be sufficient to cure this dread disease. That most of the visitors go home uncured has not apparently impaired popular trust in the efficacy of the pilgrimage. This year the ceremony was made more notable than usual by the removal of the saint's bones to a church especially dedicated to his memory. Starting at the outskirts of the town, the pilgrims advanced in a long, waving line to St. Wilifred's shrine. To fulfill the requirements they must dance a distance of a mile and a quarter. Five or six abreast the epileptics, holding each other's hands, march "en echelon," to use a military phrase, taking three steps to the right or left, then retreating two,- thus taking five steps to advance one. It is a sort of march or dance sometimes seen at American college celebrations. Yale men will recognize it as the "Omega Lambdu Chi." As they dance the pilgrims sing and shout. It is a most weird sight, too pathetic to be funny. Nobody laughs. The tense faces the sufferers, manv of them old and bent men and women, others little children with blighted lives before them, can excite only pity and sorrow. Often the well residents of Echternach are carried away by the excitement and join the grotesque procession, adding their voices to the shrieks of the trembling epileptics. Arriving at the shrine the marchers are met by a priest, and religious services follow, which, If they do not cure, at least console the unhappy victims o? one of the worst of physical weaknesses. FISH KNOWS HIS MASTER Brook Trout Shows Its Gratitude For Not Being Served For Dinner. It is the belief of G. D. Allen of """W1" V>a +h?t a brook trout is r lauoiiu, *.<* ? <? ??* % ? piore intelligent than any species of fish or animal and that it is capable of gratitude. Recently he caught three trout in a stream near that place, and one of these was a foot long and alive when Mr. Allen reached home. He was loath to eat such a fine specimen. So he put it In a tank of water In his warehouse. He fed the fish daily with flies,, and Inside of a week the trout showed that I it recognized Allen and would come to the surface to be fed whenever he approached the tank. Mr. Allen then placed the fish in a pool In a small stream near his'house, and two days later when he visited the pool the fish came to the surface and gave every evidence that it recognized him. Other men have tried to get a sight of the flsh, but it sulks in the bottom of the stream and will only come to the surface when Mr. Allen visits pool. ; ig| ^ I--I--I--I--I--I--I--I- -I--r- m ^1- a--X= m | || WE ARE NOW QETTINO IN OUR -1 Jp IFall Stock! , ?? & AND WE HAVE A COnPLETE LINE OF j ^ {J Dry Goods, Clothing, Groceries h#| $ Hardware, Stoves, Etc. ?? ;Jm 3? 0i WW$k Dfy Goods ^ur line <-"o0d9 is comPlete ia every ^ ;; department. *S3j$S ?> E DreSS Goods in all of the latest styles. * I W Wmmi ^ur ^ne Shoes were well selected and we have a shoe ? * j ^riucs. t0 8Ujt everybody and at prices to suit every purchaser.
