You can't build a cotton warehouse
on wind. If we get it, you will have
to come down with your money.
The annual reunion of Co. G is to
be held at Bethesda church to-day.
A large crowd is expected to attend
as usual.
Crops in this section are improving
rapidly now, and if the favorable
conditions continue our farmers will
not be in such bad shape after all.
Prof. Wiggins, of Columbia College,
conducted services at the Methodist
church Sunday evening. He
was here in the interest of the col'
lege.
There is to be an ice cream festival

Mr. M. W. Brabham, the Bamberg
correspondent of The State, has
erected a letter box in front of the
bank, and he will be glad for you to
drop into it any personal or news
items.
There will be an ice cream festival at
the Fitting School to-morrow (Friday)
evening. Everybody invited.
Proceeds to go to juvenile missionary
society and big three society. EveryK

The Denmark and Bamberg boys
played a game of base ball on the
Fitting School campus last Friday
afternoon. Only seven innings were
played, and Bamberg won by a score
of four to three.
Rev. Peter Stokes hit some of these
selfish people in Bamberg a hard blow
in his sermon last Sunday morning,
on religion in business. Next Sunday
he will preach on religion in politics
and will pay his respects to the dispensary.

to Tryon, N. C., made out in his

We heard the other day of an old
negro woman in town who raised a
lot of chickens in a peculiar manner.
She put the eggs in a box down by
?;: the fire and kept them until they
hatched and then raised the chickens
around the fire. This beats hens and
incubators.
The Bamberg boys went down to
Branchville Monday afternoon to play
a game of base ball. Branchville
f won by a score of 10 to 8. Our boys
expect to have some good games
here soon, as some of the young men
have gottep together and Mr. F. M.
Moye has been made manager.
J. H. Ralstin and his missionary
band of workers left town Monday.
They were to go to Columbia from
here. We understand that several
of the factory hands professed conversion,
and four were baptized at
r the river last Sunday. Two or more
of their converts left town with them.
Mr. R. W. D. Rowell, county auditor
and superintendent of education,
spent last Friday in Columbia. He <
went up to sign his settlement sheet ;
with the comptroller general and to
look after the high school matter. 1
His settlement sheet shows a balance 1
on hand of county funds of $8,000. 1
Misses Carrie and Laura Bamberg

Buford's Bridge school district in 1
this county will soon hold an election '
on the question of establishing a high ]
school in that district. Bamberg is
the banner county so far in the mat- i
ter of holding these elections. This i
is only reasonable and to be expected, ;
\ 1 for we have fine country schools and i
our people are awake on educational
matters.
Mr. G. W. Hughes, the 300-pound- '

largest man in this section, was in
town last Friday, that very hot day,
and yet he did not seem to be minding
the excessive heat any more than 1

about 100 pounds. Mr. Hughes
weighs over 300 pounds, is something
over 6 feet tall, and wears a No. 11

The negro woman, Lillie Gaines, of
Augusta, who threw her baby from
the train while passing through Bamberg
about two weeks ago, has been
carried back to New York to stand
trial for forgery. She is said to have
forged a check for $85.00. The child
is still in possession of the negro who
found it by the railroad track. It is
stated that she confessed the child
was her own and that she threw it

High School Election.
The election here last Thursday on
the question of establishing a high
school department in connection with
the Bamberg graded school resulted
in a solid vote for the high school.
There were 102 votes cast. The trustees
will now employ another teacher,
[ and the high school department will
commence with the opening of the
fall session. This will keep at home

I Preaching Next Sunday.
Dear Mr. Knight:?Please announce
in the "Herald" next week that we
will have our regular preaching service
at the Baptist church July 28th.
I expect to return for that Sunday.
Very truly yours,

Carried Back to New York.
Lillie Gaines, the negro woman who
was arrested here last week for the
New York authorities, was taken
back to that city to-day. Officer^orbes,
of the New York police force,
was in charge of the woman and he
left over the Atlantic Coast Line at
2:45 this afternoon.
After the woman was arrested here
on the charge of forgery it was found
that she had disposed of her child, an
infant, after she left New York. The
baby was found near Bamberg, where
it had been thrown from the train.
The neero woman acknowledged to
the deed and after she has faced a
forgery charge in New York she may
be brought back to South Carolina
on the charge of attempted infanticide.
However, the baby was not
hurt and was found in good condition.
The woman went back to New
York without the formalities of requisition
papers.?Augusta Herald,

Married Near Cope.
Wednesday afternoon of last week
Mr. Harold A. Loring was married
to Miss Elma Zuline Zeigler, the ceremony
taking place at the home of
the bride in the Cope section of
Orangeburg county. The wedding
w?<? a miiet affair, onlv the immediate
family being present. Rev. E. M.
Lightfoot, pastor of the Orangeburg
Baptist church, was the officiating
minister. The bride is a daughter
of Mr. W. L. Zeigler, and is a Sister
of Miss May Zeigler, one of the
teachers in the Bamberg gTaded
school. The groom is a native of
Portland, Maine,but has been musical
director of Limestone college at Gaffney,
at which place he met the young
lady as a student of the institution.
They have gone on a wedding trip
to the North and East.
Two Fires.
The colored Baptist parsonage, occupied
by Rev. J. H. Walker, was
burned last Saturday night about ten *
o'clock. He and his family were
away from home, and the house, was
in charge of a hear neighbor. The
supposition is that it was caused
by rats and matches, as there had
been no fire in the house for a day or
so. Some of the furniture was saved.
The fire originated in the kitchen
part of the house, and nothing was
saved except from the front rooms.
There was insurance of $600 on the
house and $200 on furniture, but this
will not cover the loss.
There was some talk around town
that the parsonage had been set on
fire. It seems there has been some
dissatisfaction in regard to the pas!-/-?*
onrl fhic thmitrht. to have
^iven foundation to the report, We
asked Rev. Walker in regard to the
report, and he stated that he did not
suspect any one, and did not think
the house was set cm fire. He attributed
the fire to rats and matches.
It also appears that whatever friction
had arisen has been adjusted.
Sunday about noon the alarm of
fire was again sounded, and this time
it was the home of Misses Carrie
and Laura Bamberg. The fire started
in a pantry near the house, and while
there was no water to put out the
flames, there was ample time to save
the furniture in the front rooms.
Nothing in the dining room and
kitchen was saved.
Although the crowd which quickly
gathered worked hard in carrying
out the household goods, they were a
great deal more careful than people
usually are at fires, and the articles
/vn+- iiToro in crnrvi pnnriitinn
UlUU^Ut UUC nviv ili ftuwu vvuvuww.,
not broken up as is too often the case.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hooton board
there, and one of the best jobs we
ever saw at a fire was the carrying
out of Mrs. Hooton's piano.
There was no one at home, and the
house had to be broken into to save |
the furniture. Mr. and Mrs. Hooton
had gone to Charleston, and the
Missfes Bamberg had gone out to ;
spend the day with their brother,
Capt. W. S. Bamberg. There was insurance
of $800 on the house and fur- '
niture, but this will not near cover
the loss. It is not known how the fire
originated. There had been no fire
in the pantry, so it must have been
a case of rats and matches again. 1
Remember that the warehouse matter
will be discussed at the cotton
association meeting the first Monday ,
in August. A warehouse is a ne- (
cessity, and we can build one easy ;
enough if every one who will be j
benefitted will do what they should.

PERIL III ran LEAKS
Cause of Earthquakes, Says Dr.
T. J. J. See.
COAST CITIES IN DANGER.
Astronomer at Mare island Naval Observatory
Says Shores of Pacific, the
Deepest of Oceans, Are Constantly
Menaced?Frisco Disaster a Lesson.
Dr. Thomas Jefferson Jackson See.
the famous astronomer of the United
States naval observatory at Mare Island,
Cal., while visiting his old home
in Montgomery City, Mo., recently
gaye out a remarkable interview, says
a Montgomery City special dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune.
He says he has discovered the one
common cause of the six great classes
of natural phenomena?the secular
leakage of the ocean baftom which
gives rise to the development of steam
beneath the earth's crust owing to the
earth's internal heat He aiso points
out that the chief danger of these agitations
1s along the seacoast, and,
while serving a useful purpose, it is
well to be prepared for their visitation
to prevent great destruction of life and
property, as has often happened, ow<n<r
frk inr?t nf understanding of natural
laws.
"It seems to be clearly proved," said
Dr. See, "that the earth is not contracting,
as*heretofore held by men of
science, but that the effects of secular
cooling of the globe are insensible. If
I am not entirely mistaken, I have
shown that the earth, so far from contracting,
may be slightly expanding.
In any case, earthquakes and volcanoes
as well as mountain formations in
general, depend upon the secular leakage
of the ocean bottoms.
"The great earthquake and volcanic
belts are along the shores of continents
or in the sea, and a study of the ocean
depths shows that the earthquakes are
worst where the sea is deepest and the
shore is steepest. The land is often
uplifted by earthquakes and the adjacent
sea bottom sinks, which means
that lava is being expelled from beneath
the sea and pushed under the
adjacent land.
"All the great mountain chains have
been formed by this process, and
hence the exact parallelism to the seashore,
known to every schoolboy, but
not heretofore understood by geolo?o
i?. km nnf IrnrvtC thf*
^13US. OU oo TT c UlU UVti MMV WW
cause of mountain formation or erroneously
attributed It to the secular
cooling of the earth we could not
make any advance in the analysis of
earthquake causes, but now that earthquakes
are proved to be due to the
leakage of the ocean bed, necessarily
resulting from the great depth and
pressure of water upon it, we are In a
position to make progress.
"We know that cities on the coasts
of deep seas are always unsafe, and
therefore their houses should be constructed
to withstand earthquakes,
and means should be provided for the
extinction of conflagrations. If the
people of San Francisco had possessed
our present knowledge nearly all the
loss sustained in the earthquake could
have been prevented. California today
would have been better off by
some $300,000,000, and Stanford university
would not have suffered the
ruin which has been so deeply regretted.
"Knowledge of the laws of nature
does not enable us to repair damage
* J ???* If QnahloQ us to
aireauy uuue, um. u ?
guard against a repetition of the disaster
and Is therefore most useful to
the people and to the state. If a repetition
of such disasters can be prevented
in future there will be much
to console those who suffered so
heavily in the great earthquake of
April 18. 1906."
Dr. See said that the leakage of the
ocean, which gives rise to the development
of steam within the earth, is
slow, as the water has to work down
through over ten miles of solid rock
like granite.
"No other great earthquake is, therefore,
to be expected at San Francisco
during this generation. In fact, it will
be fifty, perhaps a hundred, years before
the subterranean stress becomes
powerful enough to shake the earth
again in a violent manner. San Francisco
is therefore safe and rapidly rebuilding.
Other towns on the Pacific
fnnst. however, ought to take warning
from experience and be prepared for I
any emergency which may arise. The
whole western part of our country beyond
the Rocky mountains has been
uplifted from the sea by earthquakes
within recent geological time, and of
course the ocean continues this work
of making more land. Except for
earthquakes all the land would long
since have been washed down, and the
lea would have covered the entire
globe. Earthquakes, therefore, serve
a most useful purpose In the world, because
it is only by these forces that
any land has been raised above the
3ea to make possible the development
of the higher forms of animals and
pianca upou cue cauu. ?,
therefore, are not to be dreaded, but
we must be prepared for them so the
iamage done will be minimum. ,
"No serious disturbance of the earth
aeed ever be feared in inland high, dry
regions, such as Kansas and Colorado,
but on the coast where the sea is deep
the people must learn to be prepared
for such emergencies. Our eastern <
:oast is bordered by a shallow sea, and |
sarthquakes are not frequent in that <
region. The Pacific is the deepest of |
the oceans and surrounded by the <
greatest earthquake belts, but the J
worst disturbances occur in South <
America. Japan and the Aleutian is* ('
lands and not In our own country.** <
