The campaign meetings in this ? county so far have been held on 1 Wednesday, which is the day The ] Bamberg Herald is printed. We 1 would be glad to print reports of the . speeches made, but so far it has \ been impossible for us to attend, i Just as soon as The Bamberg Her- 1 & aid can get its day current we will 1 make the paper eight pages or print 1 twice a week. As it is now we have ( . several columns of matter left over 1 each week, and then we have not 1 near room enough for what we want ? to print :1 ?\ The rains of the last few days have J & been of much benefit to crops. The i drought was beginning to affect { ' .things in this section, but the pies- * ^ ient outlook is for a fine yield this year, We trust so, for our people / iwtnfnlv need a cood ermj.

Somewhat more than a year ago the civic league of St. Louis appointed a committee to investigate the question of street lighting in that city. This committee has just made an exhaustive report, and in their report it is stated that the city pays $97.50 per arc lamp a year and $19.65 for each incandescent. The committee discussed the matter of establishing a municipal plant, and advised against it if proper rates and service could be secured from private companies. They estimated that the cost of municipal lighting would be 2% cents a kilowatt hour, or about $69 per arc lamp per year. Bamberg * * *? o O rot O is iurmsmng its aiu lawpo ? ?. t??v of $60 a year, and yet in a city the size of-St. Louis they estimate* that each lamp would cost $69 a year if furnished by a municipal plant. From these figures it seems that Bamberg is getting its street lights very cheap. County Campaign Meetings. Two more county campaign meetings have been arranged for by County Chairman H. C. Folk. The people of the Farrell's X Roads section asked for a meeting, and Wednesday, August 5th, was fixed as the day. The meeting will be held at Farrell's X Roads. At the suggestion of Senator J. B. Black, president of the local club, the Bamberg meeting has been fixed for Thursday, August 20th. This meeting is for Thursday before the first primary, which is to take place, Tuesday, August 25th. No meeting has been asked for by the Olar voters. Senator Black Here. Dr. J. B. Black, state senator from Bamberg county, after taking in the senatorial meeting at Ehrhardt this week, came tp Walterboro to spend a few days with relatives. He was accompanied by Mrs. Black. Senator Black is standing for reelection this year without opposition. ?Colleton News. Delightful Entertainment. A party of young people were delightfully entertained llast Thursday afternoon by Mrs. B. W. Simmons in honor of Misses Celia and Dora Hiers, of Atlanta, and Elberta Hill, of Sanford, Fla. The afternoon's entertainment consisted of a most enjoyable outing, the party taking a straw ride to the banks of the Edisto, where boat riding and Ashing were enjoyed by all until late afternoon, when a light course of refreshments was served. Miss Elberta Hill won the laurels of the day at fishing, ^having successfully bagged the greatest number of the finny tribe. .After the refreshments were served the party were driven back to town in a happy- frame of mind and all expressed themselves as having spent a very pleasant afternoon. ; Thdse present were: Misses Celia and Dora Hiers, of Atlanta, Elberta Hill, of Sanford, Fla., Annie Halford, of Blackville, Arrie Hiers, Evelyn Free, Mortima Ray, Mallie Patrick, and Mrs. B. W. Simmons; Messrs. Hansford, Simms and Norman Fenier, and H. N. Folk of Bamberg, and W. C. Patrick, of Columbia. Knights of Pythia^l There was a delightful meeting of Bamberg lodge, No. 38, Knights of Pythias, last Monday evening. The rank of Page , was conferred on Mr. T. A. Mitchell, and the stereopticon vas used in the initiation. This is in excellent machine, being operated yy electricity, and the pictures add nuch to the ceremonies. The lodge visely decided to purchase the machine, and other slides for the Knight ank will be procured. Those mem>ers who have not been attending ihould come out and note how much ;he illustrations add to the degree rork. The officers are not using the >U..n1a ?<vnr and f Vl ifl a BTPnt i rn - liuaio UUTT , UUU VU40 ?w ? D. >rovement. We trust they will con;inue to perfect themselves in the vork until Bamberg lodge has as fine i degree team as there is in the State. Under the head of good of the orler, Brother Frank P. Cooper, of Cal- 1 loun lodge,. Charleston, was present >y invitation, and made a most adnirable address. He told the story >f the origin of Pythianism, and eximplified the secret work in a mas- ; erly way. He is one of the brightest f not the very brightest Knight in he State, and his exemplification >f the work is entirely new. Every tnight in the State ought to hear lim. t Brother Cooper is chairman of the rhornwell Memorial Commission, he 'i >eing appointed to this position at 1 he recent session of the grand lodge n Aiken. The object of this comnission is to raise a fund during the ' current year for a memorial to the nemory of the late Dr. J. H. Thornveil, who was grand keeper of recirris and . and one of the most jeloved members of the order in this State. This commission will also re;ommend to the grand lodge the form ;he memorial shall take. It is projosed to raise by contributions of the nembers throughout the State a fund )f $12,000 or more and a report will ae made at the meeting of the grand odge in Charleston next May. Brother Cooper explained the matter :horoughly, and we feel sure that svhen the report is made Bamberg lodge will not be found lacking in paying this tribute of love and affection to that grand old man and Pythian. It was a great pleasure for the members of Bamberg lodge to have Brother Cooper with them, and he svas cordially thanked for his address and exemplification of the work by i rising vote. He told the members many things about the order which they never knew before. He returned to Charleston Tuesday morning, and we all regretted that his stay among us was so short. He will receive a warm welcome whenever he visits us. Typewriter ribbons, 50 cents each, at The Herald Book Store. We have ribbons for the Oliver, Monarch, Underwood, Hampiond, L. C.

Mr. Counts is now spending the summer with his family at Hendersonville, N. C., and a few days ago Maj. Joe. T. Ligon, of Laurens, wrote him the following in regard to his crop: Laurens, S. C., July 22, 1908. Dear Sir: Mr. Bolt had your sorrel horse harnessed up this morning and we drove out and looked at your corn and cotton. While your corn does not appear to be suffering for moisture, a good soaking in a few days would be beneficial, and I believe will make from 60 to 75 bushPrvtffin flno onH lnnWa cis yci ai/i c. w^wu uuv muu ?w?w to me will make an average of one bale to the acre. Fortunate that all farmers have not as good crops as yours, if so cotton would not bring over five cents this fall and corn not over thirty cents per bushel. Yours truly JOE T. LIGON. Attended Family Reunion. Mr. W. G. Sease has just returned from his old home in Bamberg, where he went to attend a family reunion. Mr. Sease said there were a number of friends invited, and they had a most pleasant time. His two sisters still live at the old home.? Orangeburg Evening. News. Mr. R. M. Hays Dies Suddenly. Greenwood, July 22.?A telegram from Chase City, Va., late this afternoon conveyed the sad message to Greenwood people that R. M. Hays was dead, he having suffered a stroke ! of paralysis shortly after noon today, | dying at 5:30 p. m. Mrs. Hays was with him at the time of his death, they having gone to this Virginia summer resort last week. The news came as a shock to this community for only to-day a letter was received from Mrs. Hays to a friend, stating that Mr. Hays was improving. Mr. Hays was one of Greenwood's foremost citizens, having been closely identified with the business interests - M Z" ?J *?? *l?n mn<a+ O fl VAOrfl OI UrWUWUUU 1U1 tuc |>BOI. ?V lie having moved here from Bamberg. Only last week he resigned the presidency of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank on account of his health, however," retaining his interests in several other business enterprises. Mr. Hays was about 49 years old. The interment will take place at Bamberg, his old home. Railroad Crossings Need Attention. To the Foreman of the Grand Jury: I respectfully call your attention to the public road crossings over the railroads in this county, and especially to the crossing about two miles North-west of the town of Bamberg. This crossing is in a bad condition, asd has been for some time. The County Supervisor called the atten tion of the railroad authorities to it, and they sent there and pretended to fix it, and I am frank to say that I believe they left it'in a worse condition. It needs new flooring where the hands only threw a little dirt and left it. The grade at that crossing is very steep, as well as at others in the county. The law requires (section 378, Vol. I, Code 1902) that railroads shall fix, crossings as directed by the overseer or be subject to a fine of $50.00; also where the railroad crosses a public road on grade, the law requires, that the rise shall -* i "1/ ?ha wul not U*J UVC1 I 72 IVDt lu WIS IVU v A v /A feet.) I doubt if there is a road crossing in the county that complies with the law. x Now, Mr. Foreman, it is your duty, acting in concert with the other grand jurors, to see that the crossings are built in compliance with law, and I am sure that every farmer and every citizen who travels the roads will endorse your action in forcing the railroads to build road crossings in compliance with law. I have no complaint to make against the Supervisor, for I know of my own knowledge, that he has notified the railroads time and again to repair their crossings and they simply go there and shovel a little dirt and leave. In other words hit a lick and a promise that a lick to-day with a . promise to do a little to-morrow, but tomorrow never comes. I know of ( nothing more Important to the travel- . ing public than good road crossings over railroads. I know of nothing i that will make a man forget his Sun- . day-school teaching quicher than a mean crossing. So I call upon you, i Messrs. Grand Jurors, to assist our ( able Supervisor to make the railroads build proper crossings. CITIZEN. < Bamberg, S. C., July 24, 1908. { A CARD. To the voters of Bamberg County: Gentlemen?On account of business in my office and x>ther unavoidable circumstances it will be Impossible for me to make a house to house canvass, though I would be glad to visit every voter in the county. Therefore, I call upon each of you to remember me on the day of the primary by casting your vote for me. You all know me, as I was born in this county; went to the war from Bamberg county, and have lived near the court house all my life. Since I have been Sheriff I have done my best to fill the office with credit to myself and the good people of the county. Now, I ask the welldone of the people by electing me for one more term and I will never again ask for the office, as that will complete the age allowed to man? three score and ten?that will be 4! ?" * " nnu a a T horo Hpat> LiJLLIC lUi Hie: iv ^UIV) uu m umw pegging along for 46 long years upon < my crutch, caused by the war, while others have enjoyed the pleasure of ( both legs. < I now appeal to my old comrades and to the sons of the old Confeder- { ate soldiers to help me in my old age, ( and thereby show their admiration . for courage, their pride of ancestry, for the veneration of their forefathers.

Most respectfully, J. B. HUNTER. Bamberg, S. C. Miraculous Escape. A special from Gaffney says: "Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock little Walter Sarratt and his brother, who is younger than he, were playing over an old disused well, several hundred yards away from his father's house, when the boards which covered the mouth of the well gave way, precipitating Walter to the bottom, a distance of 75 feet, and at the bottom of which was seven feet of water. The younger child at once ran to the house to inform his father, Mr. Boyd Sarratt, of the accident to his brother. The father, almost frightened out of his wits, started for the scene of the accident expecting to find his son at the bottom of the well, but judge of his surprise and relief when he met the boy coming to the house. The little fellow had crawled to the top after having gone to the bottom. The only injury which he sustained was an abrasion on the back of his head. The well was walled with atones and the child, who was in his bare feet, had climbed the wall and gotten out without assistance." Carroll Found in Jacksonville. Columbia, July 23.?A telegram to attorney General Lyon to-day stated that J. P. Carroll wanted by the State supreme court on the charge of having violated an injunction order, had been caught in Jacksonville. Carroll kept a place in Market street, Charleston, and at the last session of the supreme court affidavits were presented by the attorney general to show that he had sold liquors after he had been enjoined against this violation of law. An order for arrest for contempt has been issued and Carroll will have to remain in jail until the supreme court meets and passes on his case. nSn .
