' ' ============================== :
j&' Short Locals.
City council is considering the <
waterworks proposition, but no 1
definite steps have been taken as i
yet.
Our good friend, Col. Jas. T. Bacon,
of the Edgefield Chroniclers down j
with the grip. We sympathize with
?b?: him.
In this issue Supervisor Kearse
notifies all road overseers to warn
out the hands and put their roads in?
*: good condition.
Mr. Sauls, a highly respected citi*
aen of Colleton county, died recently.
He was the father of Mrs. C. W.
Garris, of Denmark.
We have heard no discussion or
y suggestions so far as to the next city
fe eouncil, but it is time our people
j ; were thinking about it.
e?;:-'A See the change in ad. of E. A.
j Hooton. His goods have Jteen delayp
ed by the railroads, but it' will pay
to wait for his opening.
Court convenes here next Monday.
K There are a number of criminal and
f; civil cases to be tried and it is likely
|V that the term will continue for two
J; weeks.
spy See the new ad. of J. T. O'Neal, ,
tgif re&l estate agent. He has bargains j
& to Offer you in both town and coun?&
try property. See him you wish to
pfe buy or sell. j
9 It is rumored around ^towni that
whiskey is being sold here illegally. <
& The officers of the law should be i
.J especially vigilant during this period 1
prohibition. 1
||>- r rMr. and Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg 1
?~v y went to Anderson last week on ac- J
rv count of the death of Mrs. Bam- 1
|i*! berg's father, Mr. J. B. McGee, who
||^diea Wednesday. \
fe; r.. There,"have , been some thirsty j
people in town since the dispensary (
was closed, but there was a notice- .
able absence of drunkenness on the j
streets Saturday afternoon.' j
See the ad. of W. B. McDonald in i
this issue. He wants to paint your
roofs with his famous cement' roof
paint. He has done considerable
work for people in Bamberg. 1
: The Crescent Comedy Company '
tfill play in the opera house here all 1
of next week, commencing Monday ]
night. This company has played in J
Bamberg before and delighted their 1
audiences. I
Rev. Thos. Leitch held a special \
service for men in the opera house 4
Sunday afternoon. There was a very J
large crowd present, and many came ;
forward for prayer at the close of '
the service. ^ j
i. It seems that the county board of f
! education had a hard time getting a
man to accept the position of member
of the county board of control.
Six appointments were made before j
a man was found who would accept. (
M. M. Smoak announces that he is g
ready for work again at the Rouis jj
lot on Railroad Avenue, next to i
Jones Bros. He is prepared for all ]
Kinds of blacksmith and wheelwright ]
work, and has his same force of (
hands. (
The construction force of the Bell 1
Telephone Company has about finish^
ed the rebuilding of the lines for the
local exchange. Cable has been
sirung oh the principal streets, and
the telephone service is much improved
in consequence. '*
Under the county dispensary plan, \
Ttoe Herald expects to publish each s
py month the itemized report filed by t
each (licenser in Bamberg county, j
shewing the amount of sales, expenliv
ses, profits, etc., showing exactly what
each dispensary is doing and ,
|v V how economically they are being run. J
: Next'Sunday and Monday, March ^
3rd and 4th, are the dates appointed j
agf for the second official visit of Presid- j
M ing Elder Kilgo to the Bamberg Meth- \
odist church, this being the occa- ]
pr; sion of the second quarterly conference
for this year. The conference
will' no doubt be held next Monday
Bag . morning. i
,The Herald has received the fol- <
? lowing invitation: "Mr. and Mrs. r'.
p Charles Olin Freeman request your <
?" presence at the marriage of their ?
Ipydaughter, Sallie* Fannie, to Col. >
i|g;.y William Duncan Bennett, on Thurs- i
Eg Jay, r eoruary tne twemy-eignm, at t
Bp: twelve o'clock at their home near 1
pp- Talbotton, Georgia."
There was an interesting meeting ]
g&-. - of Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythi- 1
as, last Monday evening. There was x
Sp an exceptionally large attendance of ?
the members. The rank of Esquire J
* was conferred upon Messrs. Clarence *
f' , Free and J. M. Sizemore, and it is J
*? safe to assume that they will never 1
?vforget their experiences. r
... Mrs. Dr. J. B. Black came up from
? Bamberg on Friday to visit her son
and Col. and Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey at ^
the college. Dr. Black, who has t
been a very active and useful mem- ^
ber of the senate, joined her on Sat- \
urday. Having been away from \
home during the session of the legis- ^
Bature, Dr. Black was forced to j

The Bamberg Banking Company's t
| new building is ready for occupancy, i
:v., but the furniture for the bank has v
not arrived, and they will not move c
in for two months yet. The furni- c
ture was delayed in manufacture on c
V account of high water, and was de- r
stroyed by fire when ready for ship- I
ment. This will cause a delay of r
some time, so the bank officials de- s
cided not to move into the new building
until the new furniture was in
position. ' |V

Good People Leave.
Mr. and Mrs. A. McB. Speaks,
with their daughter, Miss Willie
Meriwether, left Varnville on the
12th instant for their new home in
Bamberg.
Mr. Speaks has been a resident of
our town since his youth, (not that
he is aft antediluvian by any means,) i
and so genial in his nature, that no
social function was considered complete
without his presence. And if
he contributed to our social pleasure,
he was always near when sorrow
invaded our homes. His ready sympathy,
his unostentatious acts of kindness
swell the list of our indebtedness
to neighbor and friend!
Mrs. Speaks came to our hamlet
about eighteen years ago: Establish:
ing a business in which she displayed
marked financial ability. A publicspirited
woman, she contributed
much to the advancement of our
town, and endeared many friends,
who deeply regret her absence.^ Our
good wishes attend them. m
With friendly interest we have
watched Miss Willie develop from
infancy to maidenhood?
"Standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet!"
And seen the expanding bud unfold
lovely traits of character and person.
Her exquisite coloring vies in the
tints of the American Beauty Rose;
her "eyes so soft and brown" play
sad havoc, we fear, with the hearts I
of her admirers.?Varnville correspondence
Hampton Guardian.
Married Near Cope. j
Miss Mary Hampton McMillan, the
only daughter of Mr. C. C. McMillan,
nf the Cone section, was married one I
day last week to Dr. Bailey, of
Greeville, S. C. The marriage ceremony
was performed at old Union
church. Dr. Bailey is to be congratulated
upon winning this excellent
poung lady for a life partner. Their
future home will be in Greenville.
SVe were unable to get more definite
Information about this happy event
>r we would have given a more complete
account of it. The couple have
)ur congratulations and best wishes
for a long life of unalloyed happiiess.?Orangeburg
Patriot.
Will Ordain Two Deacons.
At Hunter's Chapel church, in
Bamberg county, Pastor W. R.
Smith will ordain two deacons on
lext first Sunday. Bro. Smith has
nvited one of the. editors of The
Press to assist him on that occasion,
md we accept the invitation with !
Measure. By the way,, both W.* R.
md J. R. Smith, brothers in the flesh
md spirit, are doing admirable work
>n their fields, which are mostly in
Orangeburg county. There are not
imong us two more faithful pastors,
md but few who reach a larger
lumber of people than they.?Bap;isjt

County Expenses.
The following is a condensed state
nent of the expenses of Bamberg
:ounty for the year 1906. This
statement shows that it costs nearly
520,000 a year to run the county:
Salaries, ,.....$4,951,53
Paupers, 849.83
toads and bridges, 1,352.64
2hain gang, 4,053.71
bounty Commissioners, 231.00
Miscellaneous, 8,420.92
Total, ". $19,859.63
Mr. and Mrs. Bos tick Hurt.
The many Bamberg friends of Mr.
md Mrs. A Mclver Bostick will regret
to learn that they were both
severely injured while out driving in
Beaufort one day last week. It
seems they were driving along on
Bay street when their carriage was
run into by another turnout. Mr.
Bostick was badly cut in the left side,
ibout fifteen stitches being taken to
ilose the wound. He is said to be
getting along as well as could be expected.
Mr. Bostick has been in
feeble health for some months, and
;his accident is likely to retard his
recovery.
Revival Meeting.
Much interest is. being taken in the
neeting at the Methodist church
conducted by Rev. Thos. H. Leitch.
The services are indeed interesting,
ind large crowds are present^ at
ivery service. The Baptist church
vas closed Sunday on account of the
neeting, in order that that congregation
might worship at the
Methodist church.
Much good is being done. Men
vho have heretofore been careless
aid indifferent to their soul's salvaion
have become aroused, and there
eems to be a general awakening of
he professing Christians in Bam>erg.
The meeting will continue all
if tmis week. The singing of Mr.
Marshall adds much to the enjoynent
of the services.

Panama Canal?Erie Canal.
Machinery is digging the Panama canal
a thousand times quicker than the shovel
dug the Erie. Machinery produces the
L. & 31. paint at 50 times less cost for
labor, than if made by hand. The L. &
M. gives the best job in the world, because
L. &3I. zinc hardens L. &M. white
lead and makes L. & 31. paint wear like
iron for 10 to 15 years. It only requires
4 gallons of this celebrated paint and 3
gallons of linseed oil at 60 cents per
gallon, to paint a moderate sized house.
If any defect exists in L. & 31. paint will
repaint house for nothing. Sold by H.
