G. Frank Bamberg and Jones Bros. ,
each.received a car load of horses and
' mules this week.
Our live-stock dealers are selling quan- '
tities of stock these days. This doesn't
look like hard times.
Mr. T. S. Rice and family will move to
jColumbia this week, where they will re
r side for the present year at least.
Now would be a mighty good time for
us to be hearing from some of our correspondents
who have been silent a long
gat time. . :
The ordinance against dumping trash
on the atreets is being daily violated,
even on Main street, and yet no effort is
being made it seems to enforce the law.
There will be uo preaching in the Baplist
church next Sunday morning or
evening, as the pastor, Rev. A. J. Foster,
is still away on a visit to relatives in
Tennessee.
Parties having business with me can
. transact same by calling on Mr. Geo. A.
. Jennings. Jones A.Williams,
The county chain gang is now at work
down in the Brier Creek section, and
. some good work is being done in that
' community. The gang now numbers
twenty-two.
. LOST?Sunday afternoon between
Denmark and Bamberg a purse containl
ing some change and a small picture.
Fender please return to Herald office and
J receive reward.
The Knights of Pythias held an interim.'
- ? esting meeting last Monday evening.
Several applications for membership were
^ received. The rank of Esquire is to be
conferred at the next meeting.
The King Dramatic Company delighted
large audiences at the opera house '
here last Friday and Saturday uights. ,
This company is a favorite with theatrei
goers in this city, and they can always be 1
assured of full houses when they appear 1
here. ,
%- The Joshua Simpkins Co., which ap
peared here last Thursday night, evidently
pleased its audience better than it did <
in Gaffney. Our people generally seemed ,
to consider it an average show, at least
we have heard no complaints about it. !
The orchestra carried by the company is
a good one.

HlEk "t^A>
A correspondent writes us that one :
fck night last week the guard house at Cope
s caught on fire and a prisoner confined in
it came near being burned alive. The <
c, v prisoner's cry for help soon attracted a j
?"\- large crowd. Mr. J. L. Quattlebaum, .
; trestle foreman of the Atlantic Coast ,
I<inc Railway, directed one of his men to \
& ? - break the lock and let the prisoner out.
This was done and the prisoner made his
-escape through the flames of fire. He ^
was severely burned and was turned over I
g/f ' to Dr. Barton for-treatment. Mr. Quat- ]
- tlebaum's prompt action saved the un- ]
fortunate man from being worse burned j
than he was.?Orangeburg Times and

When P. T. Barnum was at the head 1

and carried to the house and died in a ^
.short time. Dr. M. G. 8alley, who was
in the neighborhood when the sad accident
happened, got to him a few rain- ^
utes before he died, but could do little as s
the unfortunate man was mortally
wounded. Mr. Shirer was a good citizen
and his tragic death was a shock to all. j(

4 DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.!
BAMBERG IS AGAIN HARD HIT BY THE
FIRE FIEND.
A Lot of Wooden Buildings Destroyed?The
Property Loss Will Aggregate Something
Like $15,000Yesterday
(Wednesday) morning
about 1 o'clock the livery stable of
J. S. Jennings was discovered to be
on fire. This building was situated
on the west side of Main street, in
the rear of Johnson's hotel, in a perfect
nest of wooden buildings, and
the fire quickly spread to these and
they were destroyed. Jennings's stable
w2s a wooden building, covered
with iron, and was erected only a
few months ago. This is the second
time that Mr. Jennings has been
burned out, his stable being burned
in the fire last spring which destroyed
the cotton mill annex, Bamberg's
stables, Delk's shop, and other
buildings.
The fire broke out in the loft of
the stable, in the rear, and it is not
known how it originated. The fire
burned rapidly and nothing could be
saved. Mr. Jennings lost all his
horses, vehicles, grain, forage, harness,
etc., absolutely nothing being
saved. He lost seven head of horses,
Dr. J. J. Cleckley lost a horsej and
Mr. W. L. McPhail a cow, in all nine
head of live stock being burned. Mr.
Jennings places his loss at $3,000,
with insurance of $1,500.
The next building to catch was the
buggy and carriage shop of M. M.
n 1. ?J?3 i,
omuaK, sii/Uaieu iicac ty uic ouauic,
on the west side. This building was
owned by G. H. Smoak, and he carried
insurance of $400. His loss is
about $1,200 or more. M. M. Smoak
lost a lot of buggies, harness, etc.,
as well as all his tools, unfinished
work, gasoline engine, blacksmith
shop, etc. His loss on stock is something
like $3,500, and he had insurance
of $2,000. Nothing out of this
building was saved.
The stables of E. L. Smoak next
burned. He had a lot of stock, but
these were, saved. However, two
were hurt in a culvert up the railroad
after being turned out and died
of their injuries. His insurance is
51,000, and he puts his loss at $2,000,
as he lost three buildings. J. J.
Smoak also ran a livery stable in this
*1 1* 1--A f 1 .1, L!. 1
DUiiaing, out ne savea an ms nurses
and vehicles. His loss is confined to
corn, forage, etc., amounting to several
hundred dollars.
The dispensary was the only brick
building burned. The building was
owned by G. A. Jennings, and was
insured for $1,200. The loss on the
building is possibly $1,800. Much of
the stock of the dispensary was
saved. The stock carried was about
^6,000, and Dispenser E. L. Price estimates
that he saved about $2,000jor
52,500. The insurance on stock is
51,5000.
Mr. Parker Jennings had all his
household goods stored upstairs in
Smoak's shop, as he had recently
moved here and could not get a
house. He lost them all, his loss being
about $600.
The fertilizer warehouse of J. D.
Copeland, next to the. dispensary,
was burned, but this loss is covered
sy insurance. There was insurance
jjl <pow un uiu> uuiiuui^.
Mr. S. W. Johnson lost his sample
-ooms and all the outbuildings in the
ear of his hotel. He lost four or
ive buildings, his loss being about
51,000, with only $250 insurance,
rhis hotel has been open for twentyax
years, and during this time has
lever closed its doors day nor night
lor missed serving a meal.
All told, there were twelve buildngs
burned, all of them bein&of
vood except the dispensary. The
otal property loss will be something
ike $15,000.
How long before our people will
jet stirred up to the point of estabishing
waterworks for fire protecion?
It seems to us to be nothing
>ut folly to erect these wooden fire
raps. No one was surprised that
his lot of stables were burned, as
hey were too close together and
ituated in such a public place that
heir burning was only a question of
ime. It is to be hoped all of the
>uildings will be replaced with brick
tructures.
J. M. Dempster, a shoe drummer,
>f Kershaw, was arrested in Charotte
Tuesday on the charge of ablucting
Miss May Foster, of Greenrille.
She is sixteen years old.
lempstersays he escorted the girl
o Charlotte as a favor to a man
tamed Barron. The girl is in love
vith Barron and her father objected
o her seeing him. She was taken
?ack home.
The State Senate refused to pass
he compulsory education bill by a
ote of 19 to 18. Senator Black, of,
his county, voted against the bill. 1
