PHENOMENAL SUCCESS. |
Commercial Circles of Bamberg Stirred to
Depths by W. A. Klauber's Special Sale. !
One of the greatest known successes
in a merchandising sale of any kind j
was inaugurated at W. A. Klauber's
Wednesday. Dozens of clerks are
laboring to supply the crowds of
eager buyers with goods that are be- ]
ing sold at reduced prices. This city ]
has never seen in any previous in- i
stance such an activity. From the j
opening hour the people crowded the i
store to its capacity. <
One feature of the sale that has t
caused the greatest surprise is the
high qualities displayed and the cor- \
responding wonderful low prices. It (
is no wonder that the public is tak- ]
ing advantage of this unprecedented g
opportunity. Buyers came into the <
city from distances of 25 and 30 i
miles to bpy supplies for the entire j
year. Remember the sale lasts but ^
10 days, so do not delay. See the j

Bambsrg Lyceum. ]
With considerable effort a course of 1
excellent attractions has been secured J
for the people of our town this sea- 5
son. We had a good course last season
but the talent employed for this season's
course is much superior to 1
that of the last. Five attractions 1
have been arranged for as follows: 1
The Edwin R. Weeks company, an
evening of music and stories; Ells- 1
worth Plumstead, humorist; Frank 1
Dixon, lecturer; The Parland, Newhall
Company, male quartet, brass
quartet and bell ringers; and Mrs.
Chilton, monodramist. Double season
tickets may be secured for only j
$4.00. Let every one purchase a
ticket. You can't afford to miss 1
these attractions.
The first number of the course is \
the Edwin R. Weeks company, which
comes Wednesday evening, Nov. 21.
All the attractions will be held in (
the opera house. For any further
information see Col. John F. Folk or '
Prof. W. D. Roberts, the course
manager. ^
Things Come High.
A young fellpw from the country 1
who is larger in funds than city ex- ?
perience went to Chicago Saturday ]
on the $2.50 excursion and while ]
there dropped into a fashionable
restaurant. On inquiry as to whether
he would take a table d'hote, hei took *
a chance and replied in the affirma- ]
tive. The waiter brought soup and
fish, which was promptly eaten. Seeing
no further activity on the part of .
the waiter and not being wise to the
rules of the game, the young man left 1
the table and faced the cashier. ]
"How much?" he asked. * (
"Two dollars," replied the dizzy
blonde in the cage. He then took a 1
cigar.
"How much?" he again asked. 1
"Cicrars 25 cents." gurgled the!
blonde. ' |,
The young man looked intently at '
the young woman for a moment, his
gazed centered on a ribbon about her .
neck.
"What's that around your neck?" ,
he asked.
"Why, a ribbon," she answered J
sweetly. "Why."
"0, I just wanted to know," he i
answered gently. "Everything is so
d d high here I thought it might <
be your garter." ]

TWO HURT IN WRECK.
Blackville 4'Short" Train Derailed
Near Branchvllle Saturday Night.
Branchville, S. C., Nov. 12?The
short train that runs between Kingville
and Blackville was derailed
above Sixty-six Saturday afternoon
on its return to Branchville. It is
supposed that the engine spread the
rails causing two passenger coaches
and a coal car to turn over in the
ditch. There were no passengers on
the train, but Mr. Lou Burns, a
brakeman, and Mr. Sam Anderson,
baggage master, suffered slight
wounds. The train was speeding at
the rate of 25 miles an hour, and it
is a wonder that the occupants did
not get killed. Mr. Arthur Kelly,
conductor, escaped with no injury at
all. The wounded men were brought
on to Branchville to be attended by
the railroad surgeon; Mr. Burns suffering
with an ugly laceration over
the right eye, and slightly bruised
over the body; Mr. Anderson, with
a dislocated shoulder joint. Both
were fixed up promptly and sent on
to their destination. Section hands
were sent up immediately to clear
the track, but the evening trains'
were delayed for several hours. Engineer
DeWitt, who was dead-heading
from Orangeburg to Branchville,
was in the derailed car but escaped
uninjured.
Grading the roads for the five side
tracks is rapidly advancing on to
completion.
Mr. J. M. Tucker has been confined
to his bed with a short attack of illness,
also Mr. J. W. Black, and this
tends to hinder the work in the Bank
of Branchville, the former being
cashier and the latter assistant.
The Branchville Live Stock Company
has applied to the Secretary of
the State for a charter. Messrs. R.
F. Dukes, W. V. Witherspoon and
A. F. H. Dukes are the sole owners.
Ifcey intend to build a modern stable
in the rear of the new bank.
Fitting School Notes.
After some effort the committee
succeeded in putting in the lyceum
course, much to the pleasure of many
who enjoy such attractions as will be
given. The committee is of the
opinion that this is probably the best
lolof attractions ever secured for
this course. The first attraction will
be the Edwin R. Weeks Co., November
21st, presenting stories and
music. This eompany has had great,
success and is very popular.
Ellsworth Plumstead, the humorist.
is scheduled for December. In
January, Frank Dixon, the noted I
preacher and lecturer will be here.
Dr. Dixon is considered one of the
most powerful speakers on the
American platform and we count
ourselves fortunate in securing him.
The Parland-Newhall Co., a male
quartette and Swiss bell ringers will
come in March.
Mrs. Chilton, the famous iponodramatist,
will close the season in
April.
There is no regular lyceum attraction
for the month of February, but
the lovers of music will be pleased
to know that arrangements have
been made to have Herr Karl Greinauer,
the 'cellist who swept Bamberg
last year, come again during
that time. He will be accompanied
by his wife, Mme. Elizabeth Greinanor
a soloist.
A number of students spent a day
in Charleston last week during gala
week, accompanied by Prof. Roberts.
They report a most delightful trip.
Among those who went were: Misses
Katie Carter, Lizzie Rhode, Margaret
Jennings, Mindell Smith, Lizzie
Smith, Jennie Graham, Lizzie Hand,
Flossie Murdaugh, Jennie Connor,
Mortima Ray, Wilhelmina Folk,
Louise Folk, Leonard Folk and Janie
Belle Sanders.
Misses Jennie Connor and Janie
Belle Sanders spent several days at
home after the Charleston trip.
Richard Addison also attended
gala week.
The Kilgo Society has elected John
Huffman, Richard Addison, and
Meredith Wolling to compete for the
medal offered by Prof. Roberts to
the best declaimer from that society.
The contest is to come off in February.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR BAflBERG.
Lights Turned on for the First Time
Last Saturday Night.
Last Saturday night when the train
from Charleston to Augusta was
coming into town it was noticed that
it came in slower than usual. Just
as it reached the "city limits" sign
it hesitated for a few moments but
the veteran engineer gradually came
on to the depot, shading his eyes
from the brilliant illumination which
chcircled and enveloped the avenue
of Bamberg's chief residence street.
The passengers needed no interior
lighting of the coach to read by had
they desired to engage their time in
that manner. But they did not care
to do that, they were surprised; some
one thought that they had reached
Augusta. But they had reached Bamberg.
And Bamberg looked like the
real little city she is; her electric
light plant was just working for
the first time, but they worked admirably
and well. After weeks
had passed into months of waiting
and expectancy, the system of lights
has been completed. Let Bamberg
rejoice, let the sons and daughters
of Bamberg rejoice; let Bamberg
county rejoice within herself that
she has such a metropolis for a county
seat.
Last week it was noticed that
Chief of Police Hand was giving the
streets an unusually good cleaning
and trimming the trees up in neat,
orderly manner, taking all the "tags"
off, and not until Saturday night
when everything was looking like
the city beautiful was it understood
whv such unusual care was taken.
He knew that the light was to be
turned on.
The work of installation began
last May and was to have been delivered
complete by August 10th,
but there are other delays than the
proverbial law's delays, and time has
passed on until the broken fly wheel
and other smaller calamities have
been remedied and we have a complete,
up-to-date and dandy plant.
The Electric Supply Company, of
Savannah, did the work; Mr. J. B.
McCrary, of Atlanta, acted as consulting
engineer for the board of
'public works, which board is composed
of Messrs. C. R. Brabham,
chairman, A. W. Knight and J. A.
Byrd. These three gentlemen were
elected, and then the terms of six,
four and two years were drawn by
lot, the terms falling in order of the
committee as named above.
Mr. E. J. Putzel, of Savannah, was
| in charge of most of the installing
of the arc lamps; Mr. R. B. Baker,
of Savannah, and Mr. Jake V. Dodenhoff
of the Piedmont Electric Company.
did the inside wiring for stores
and residences. Mr. W. M. Wilkes
is now in charge and has done the
actual work of putting the plant in
running order and finishing things
up.
Mr. James E. Salley, of Orangeburg,
who by the way was known
here as a student of the Carlisle Fitting
School, will be superintendent
of the plant. He has been city electrician
for the Orangeburg system of
lightingand waterworks for about
six years and* gave up that position
to accept the one here. He is a young
man who understands his business
and will keep the plant in best of
condition. There are thirty-one of
the arc and twenty-five of the series
incandescent 50 candle power lights.
The number of incandescent lights
to date is about 1300, with more being
added daily.
It will be about a week before the
plant is turned over to the committee,
in the meanwhile the lights will
burn until 12.30 o'clock each night;
after the plant is turned over to the
city they will burn from darkness
until dawn.
No Dispensary at Bowman.
The county board of control of
Orangeburg county held a meeting
last Thursday and decided against
establishing a dispensary at Bowman.
The matter has been agitated for
some time, aid'those opposed to locating
a dispensary there got up a
| petition against its establishment.
The petition contained ninety-seven
I names, and as there are 170 qualified
i voters in the township, it was seen
th^t a majority had signed the petition
and the board could do nothing
but decline to open the dispensary.
General Election.
In the general election held recently
520 votes were polled in this county
at the State boxes, all being for the
Democratic nominees. In the Federal
boxes 482 votes were cast. The difference
in the figures of the State
and Federal vote is accounted for by
the fact that the Federal poll at Olar
was not opened, the managers appointed
not qualifying or coming
for the boxes. Isaac Myers, the negro
republican candidate for congress,
received four votes in the
county, so it is safe to assume that
Mr. Patterson will not have a contest
on his hands this time.

Illegal Selling of Intoxicants..
Editor the Bamberg Herald:?In
these days of outrage and lyncfiings,
we hear a lot about "protect our , ~
women," which is as it should be, [of ''.3
course. But right here we would ; ;>M
like to ask our valiant defenders,
why they don't finish up the protect- .5?
ing business while they are about
Women in this country have an
enemy far more formidable than the |
black horror, (while I am not dis- ':M
counting that, for I know what it is , M
to live under a dread all the time)
and that is one that is sinking the
women of this fair land of ours to / -Jg
the bottom of despair. We heard ^|j
much during: the last campaign about 'M
dispensary or no dispensary. The J?
question was cussed and discussed |
at every gathering, and yet there is ^
a barroom at every corner and some '
in the middle for good measure. Let;
a woman ride out even on Sunday to $aj
see perhaps a sick friend, and she "
will have to pass one or more of these ' J
"gates to perdition" in full blast, j
and men who love to boast of hjgh ^ j||
family, who have had the advantage -M
of Christian mothers and religious
training, staggering and wallowing
around in the broaa day light on a-V Wk
lovely Sabbath morning. It is enough ?
to crush the heart of any true woman,
be she high or low.
One does not have to draw much ^
on the imagination, (when we see the
proprietor of one of these "contrap- :'Xm
tions of the evil one" doling out his
key to perdition to his poor bloated,
red-eyed victims) to hear the swish 1
of the tail and see the cloven foot of ... V,
the evil one himsielf, or to smell fire .
and brimstone and hear his poor
drunken vict m s groans as he drops ;r|j
them into the bottomless pit.
And now we would ask? Where
are our gallant defender^? Is the M
* % i # i-l 1 1 i
mannooa 01 me iana at su tuw aa
ebb that no one will come to our ?
relief. Where are the officers of our /:f&
country? They promised great t||
things before they were elected. Is m
it possible there is not one with manhood
enough to do his duty? Perhaps
some one will say:. "Report
these places." What good doesitdo ** M
if you do. It has been done repeat- .J Ji
edly. If there is any attention mud' 4
to it at all, and that is very seldom,
they manage to find out when the ^
detective is coming and move their
goods to the gin house or branch or
some place till the man is gone and />&|
then they carry it back. If they
happen to find the stuff it is poured
out, and while the officers are at that -SM
the proprietor is writing an order . ||
for more..
How long, oh, how long will the :
men of Bamberg county suffer this
thing to go on? Why trim the
branches; don't you know they will
grow again? Strike at the root and 3?
don't stop till it is entirely grubbed M
out. Instead of seizing the liguor, ' -'A
why not take the man? Send him to,
.1 ?i.?ii / il. ? l :s
ine penitentiary iur tue uret uueuccy
(with no chance to pay out) and for ;?$
a second offence send him there and :M
keep him there. We don't need him
in this part of the country. As for ; I
the man that drinks his low down
stuff, give him the same punishment ;; :i
and I will guarantee that drunken- i
ness and whiskey selling will stop. -M
Perhaps the penitentiary would have
to be enlarged, but what an Eden on m
earth if there were no drunkards.
And now I would like some one to ^
answer these questions:
Why do those in authority allow > 0j

mother's son has been lost by drinking
such stuff, when perhaps he
never would have tasted whiskey.
Will not some one come to stop
this thing? Save the poor old drunkards
if you can. Some one loves the
very last one of them. If that is
impossible, then save our boys. ,
