(! Advertisers must send in copy for changes of ads. on Tuesday to insure changes being made. Please bear this in mind. Buy a Collins Framelet for 5 cents and frame your pictures neatly yet ! so cheap. You can get them at The > , Herald office. See the new ad. of Mrs. K. I. Shuck & Co. in this issue. Their - Easter opening will be next Wednesday and Thursday. Bamberg lodge Knights of Pythias will meet next Monday evening. The rank of Knight is to be conferred - upon two Esquires. Miss Llewlie Bamberg and Mr. J. A. Wyman will be married at the Methodist church in this city on r Wednesday, April 3rd. Mr. H. W. Utsey and Miss Hester Sanders were married last Monday by Sheriff J. B. Hunter. Both parties work in the cotton mill. ? ? - -i , rt i Something new every aav at a. a. Hoo ton's. Not a single negro was sentenced p to the penitentiary at the recent term of court. The two prisoners who went to the State institution were Bp white men. Mr. M. William Brabham, assistgp ant cashier of the Bamberg Banking ing Co., has been appointed a memkt ; ber of the county board of education, vice J. H. A. Carter, of the Ehrhardt section, resigned. Long gloves for everybody at Hooton's. S"| The Parland-Newhall Company, j ?H male quartet, brass quartet, and mt bell ringers will be the next attracK& tion of the lyceum course in this city. .They will appear at the opera house Friday evening, March 29th. % . A guard from the penitentiary last m* . Thursday carried J. R. Turner and M, : A. W. Nelson to Columbia to begin their sentences. Turner gets fifteen years for attempted rape and Nelson j five years for housebreaking and ggj' v-j-1 larceny. Both are white men. Have your spring dresses made at H E. A. Hooton's. H . Are the Bamberg merchants going |H , to remain indifferent about the matter of building a cotton warehouse? jj It strikes us that if they realize their own welfare they will not want m, neighboring towns to become better cotton markets, and have better cotgfeV ton facilities. ^ V See Hooton's line of white linens before you buy. The program for the State meetly ing of the Epworth League, which is g^. to be held in this city April 10-14, has been issued, and it is an exceptionally fine one. Adresses and sermons 5V will be delivered by prominent and sbl;, able men, and the convention prom ises to be largely attended. ' Mr. E. L. Price went up to Columbia last week and bought a car load of whiskey from the State dispen?,. sary for the dispensary at this place. The work of checking up the stock on hand at the various dispensaries tP, is now going on. There was >very g?" ; little stock on hand in the Bamberg dispensary, as much of it was destroyed in the fire some time ago. Nobody gets a skirt like yours at i Hooton's. It is said that the Bamberg dispensary will be opened in the building owned by Dr. J. P. Ott, nekt i.door to The Herald office. We would much prefer that this institution was not located so close to us, but what can't be cured must be endured we $F / suppose. However, this being the case we shall endeavor to see that the law is strictly carried out. Get your blue linen dress at E. A. Hooton's. ;V-v ' By reference to the notice in another column it will be seen that books of registration for the town of Bamberg are now open. All qualified rrmcf romctor if tViav wanf VlVVWiO iAtuot 1 V^, XX Vllvj to vote at the coming municipal election. Your old registration certificate does not entitle you to vote. aTThe law provides that there must be an entirely new registration for every election. / ZLf/ii | A committee from the local En- j worth League is now soliciting homes for delegates to the State meeting to be held here April 10-14, and our people should make an es pecial effort to entertain them. Not enough homes have been secured for those who will attend, and there is likely to be a larger number present than was first expected. Let us entertain these people handsomely and show to the world that Bamberg is not only a progressive but a hospitable town. I 1 -\ ||f ? : V , ' -% i' Dispensers Elected. The county board of control organized last week by the election of E. C. Hays chairman. Dispensers were elected as follows: Bamberg ?Joseph McCormack, salary $60 per month. Mr. McCormack has heretofore been cierK in tne dispensary here. Denmark?Geo. Fogle, salary $75 per month. Mr. Fagle was a member of the old county board of control. Olar?G. J. Bessinger, salary $50 per month, Mr. Bessinger was the only dispenser re-elected. Ehrhardt?J. C. McKenzie, salary $50 per month. All the dispensers must furnish their own help, if they need any, except the Bamberg dispenser. The board elected E. L. Price, former dispenser at Bamberg, secreary of the board and bookkeeper at a salary of $85 per month. He will also act as clerk of the Bamberg dispensary. Mr. Price's duties will be to check up the four dispensers, assist the board in buying, keep the books, and act somewhat as general manager of the business. Tht dispensary at Midway was discontinued. As soon as the dispen - ? i j sers give bond and tne stocK on nana is checked, the dispensaries will be re-opened, p-obably this week. New Advertisements. W. A.

But he is sick and cannot come. He begs us to say that he is not hippity hoppity and unreliable, but that the grip has him by the head and the tail and the throat and the back and the arms and the legs and just will not let him go. Possibly his entertainment may be arranged for a later date, but his condition now will not admit of his making any engagements. We were all anxious to hear him, and we trust that he can visit us one of these days. Court Proceedings. When The Herald went to press lastWednesday the jury was out in the case of T. W. Richardson vs. Bamberg county, a suit for damages in the sum of $5,000. The jury remained out until Thursday noon without agreeing on a verdict, and a mistrial was ordered. We understand that most of the jury were in favor of no damages, while others wanted to give various amounts. In the insurance cases of T. W. and S. W. Pearlstine, in which they were sueing to enforce payment on insurance policies for their store and stock of goods which were burned a few years ago, a consent verdict was rendered for $1,400. This was a compromise, and is only forty per cent, of the policies and plaintiff is to pay the costs. J. F. Entzminger vs. Seaboard Air Line Railway Co. This was a suit for damages. Mr. Entzminger was put off the train at Govan Christmas day, and the railroad claimed it was by mistake. The jury rendered a verdict for $500 damages. W R Fail us Western TTnion Telegraph Company. This was a suit for damages for failure to deliver a I telegram promptly, it being termed a mental anguish suit because the telegram contained news of a death. jA verdict for $500 damages for ! plaintiff was rendered. J. M. Kinsey vs. Southern Railway | Company resulted in a verdict for . plaintiff for $50 damages: Mr. Kin-1 I sey was run into by a freight train j which was switching at the depot 'crossing of Main street in this city and thrown out of his buggy. The vehicle was'broken and he was in jjured. 0. J. Steedly vs. Carolina Mutual ; Fire Insurance Co. resulted in a [verdict for plaintiff for $1,238 and interest. This was a suit to recover on a fire insurance policy. Court adjourned last Saturday afternoon. The jury was dismissed Fridav afternoon and eauitv matters were heard Saturday. A number of cases were not tried, and it now seems likely that we will have a | summer term. Postmasters Selected. Washington, March 19.?The postoffice department to-day announced that George H. McKee would be reappointed postmaster at Darlington, and J. P. Murphy at Bamberg. p The commissions of these officials expired a short time ago, and while there has not been any fight on, there has been some speculation as to whether or not they would be named as their own successors. The announcement by the department that I McKee and Murphy will be recom- j missioned will doubtless be welcome news to their respective towns, as! their records are said to be satisfac-! tory in every way to the patrons of the offices.
