D. A. KINARD & CO.
The faculty of the Bamberg graded
school is about complete, the selec0^
tion of the teaching force having
been largely left with Mr. Allen, the
principal. The names of the teachers
will be announced next week if
possible, as well as the grades assigned
them.
The Bamberg boys didn't do a
5; . thing to the Hampton ball players
last week. Wednesday's game was
a victory for Bamberg, the score being
8 to 2 when the game was stopped
by rain. Thursday afternoon
Bamberg won by a score of four to
one, thus taking the entire series of
three games.
The architect was down from Columbia
la?t week, and final settlement
was made with Mr. Grandy, the
contractor for the new graded school
building. The building will cost, including
the heating and architect's
fees, about $10,315.00, and the new
furniture will cost $1,080.00 more.
The trustees will have to borrow
about $3,400.00 in order to com

The Herald's Troubles.
Our friends have no conception
of the great handicap The Herald is
enduring just now because of no
day current to run our linotype machine.
We can use it at night only,
and of course we cannot begin to get
the results from it which we should.
We run our job presses by hand in
the day time and by electricity at
night, but the linotype cannot be
operated by hand. However, we are
! now negotiating for a day current of
I our own, and hope to get the situa[
tion relieved in the next few weeks.
' Pleasant Fish Fry.
There was a most delightful fish
[ fry given at the river Monday by Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. H. Cope. There were
plenty of fish, and boat riding, fishahrkntin**
nt tarerets was in
1115* auu ?
dulgecl in by the young folks present.
Those present were: .Mr. and Mrs.
Jno. H. Cope, Mrs. L. E. Livingston.
Rev. and Mrs. T. G. Herbert, Mr. and
Mrs. David Felder, Dr. and Mrs. J.
J. Cleckley, Misses Ida and Mary
Livingston, Genie Cope, Neta Brant,
Mary Hil>, of Sumter, Georgie Antley,
of Cordova; Messrs. Edgar Mack, of
Cordova, J. J. Smoak, and Glenn
Cope.
The Denmark Hotel.
The many friends of Mr. J. R.
Owens will be delighted to know that
he is meeting with great success as
a hotel proprietor. In January last
he and Mrs. Owens took charge or
the Denmark Hotel, having purchased
it from Mr. L. C. Rice. Under
their management the patronage
of the hotel has largely increased,
and it is now known to the public
as the travelling man's home. Mr.
and Mrs. Owens are both exceedingly
clever people, and they make their
guests feel at home by their cordial
manner, while nothing is overlooked
for the comfort or convenience of
those who stop with them. Mr.
Owens takes a great pride in the
reputation of his house, and it is
freely stated by the traveling men
that the fare at the Denmark hotel
excels that of many city hotels who
charge higher prices. When our
readers are in Denmark, they will
certainly be pleased if they stop with
Mr. Owens.
The Mims Killing.
Mrs. G. A. Ducker went up to Columbia
last week on account of the
killing of her father, Joe' Mims, by
his son, Pressly Mims. The killing
occurred at the Wateree, bridge near
Columbia, where the old man Mims
was keeper of the bridge. The son
is a man of about thirty years of
ooomc that hp had beeh.
auu iv kTwmw ?
staying down there with his father
for several months, the old man practically
supporting his son's family,
there being a wife and five children.
The families of both men lived in
Columbia.
From the statements of parties
who were near by when the killing
occurred, it seems that the father
and son got to quarreling while they
were sitting at the table eating, and
the old man was shot by Pressly before
he could get hold of the axe,
even if he went for it, which is
doubted. The younger man could
easily have taken the axe away from
his father, and it is thought the killing
was done in sudden heat and
passion during a quarrel between "the
two men. Young Mims is in jail in
Columbia.
Children Entertained.
Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg and Mra
Jacob E. Felder entertained their
Sunday-school classes with a delightful
lawn party at the handsome home
of the former, on Railroad Avenue,
last Thursday afternoon from five to
seven o'clock.*
A peanut contest afforded amusement
for the little ones, Leona Brabham
being the most successful one,
receiving for her skill a dainty pair
of armlets.
Delicious ices and creams were
served during the afternoon, Leona
Brabham, Nelson Wright, and Mildred
Knight being the waitresses.
Mrs. Bamberg and Mrs. Felder
have in their charge the infant classes
of the Methodist Sunday-school,
and both of them by their Christian
attitude to these litle ones have won
their devout love and esteem, and are
exceedingly popular' with the children.
Following aYe those who enjoyed
the hospitality of Mrs. Bamberg and
Mrs. Felder: May Williams, Vista,
Evelyn, Adelle, Leona, Ida, and Matrude

Campaign Meeting.
Somehow or other we got the date
of the first county campaign meeting
at Denmark wrong. It is to be held
on Wednesday, July 15th, instead of
July 1st, as we published heretofore.
We cannot imagine how we made
this mistake in date, but the 15th is
the proper date. Candidates will
have until that time to file their
pledges and. pay assessment to the
county chairman. The meeting at
Ehrhardt is to be held on Wednesday,
July 22nd. The date for the Bam
berg meeting has not been nxea yet.
Alex Hall Convicted.
Lexington, June 12.?The solicitor
called for trial this afternoon the
case of the State against Alex Hall,
the negro who has been in the State
penitentiary for safe keeping, charged
with assault with intent to ravish
Mrs. Claude Sox at Edmund, a station
on the Southern about nine miles
from here, on April 11 last.
Hall had no lawyer, and the trial
was short, as the only witness for the
State was the prosecutrix, and her
testimony was practically as heretofore
detailed, as was the testimony
of the defendant.
The jury remained out ten minutes,
returning a verdict of guilty. Judge
DeVore will pass sentence in the
morning.

After a Scholarship.
j\n\ Willie B. Cauthen, formerly

is working for a scholarship in Yale
University. He is soliciting subscriptions
for the Delineator, this magazine
having offered the scholarship
to the young man securing the largest
number of subscribers during the
summer. We hope he will be successful
and we trust he will secure
a large number of subscribers in
Bamberg. The Delineator is $1.00
per year.
New Registration.
This is the year for re-registration
by the constitution of the State, and
the county registration boards will
shortly undertake a vigorous campaign
for registering all of the voters.
For the purpose of allowing
all to register the law orders that
the county registration boards stay
in session for 60 days, beginning on
July 1 and closing September 1 in
the county court house. After that
date the board will go into the country
and remain one month. Each
town of over 300 inhabitants will be
visited, and all of the voters given a
chance to enroll themselves.
C. Flournoy Arrested.
Greenville, JuSt 15.?C. Flournoy
of Spartanburg, who claims to be promoting
The Thermal Iron and Railroad
company, was arrested here this afternoon,
charged with false pretense in
securing $10 from Ticket Agent Carson
at the Southern depot. Flournoy is in
jail in default of bond. He claims to be
owner of Little Mountain, N. C., and
says this project is backed by the United
States Steel corporation. The belief
is that the man is derahged. However,
he has secured a commission from
the secretory of state and has been proceeding
with the organization of his
company. On the application for charter
appears the name of John Gary Evans
of Spartanburg as general counselor.
Flournoy is said to hail from Virginia.
