There was a good crowd in town
last Thursday attending the county
campaign meeting. ' We were glad
to see and shake hands with numbers
of our friends from all over the
county.
The merry-go-round, by request,
will be reserved for white persons
, Wednesdays and Fridays, afternoon
and evening, this week and next.
Colored friends are welcome all othi
er days.
' Some people think they must go
to a big city to get a stylish or upto-date
vehicle. They forget that
the other chaps have identically the
same factories to select from that
, I do. G. FRANK BAMBERG,
Rev. O. J. Frier, of Pinehurst,
Ga., will. preach at the Baptist
church in this city next Sunday
morning and evening. The public is
cordially invited to attend. There
%.. will be po service at any of the other
(churches.
Big city dealers must charge a
greater profit for the same vehicle,
than I, because of higher rents, insurance,
taxes, cost of living and
conducting business.
G. FRANK BAMBERG.

when he will be in his office to

call on Saturdays.
Don't say the old vehicle will
have to do, that it can be fixed up
after a fashion. Isn't it poor econ%-V.v
omy to make yourself dissatisfied.

Mr. Barnes, while walking over a
lot of land with Mr. J. T. O'Neal last

An interesting meeting of Bamberg
lodge. Knights of Pythias, was
held last Monday evening, at which
the rank of Knight was conferred on
Messrs. J. A. Mitchell and Levi H.
Folk. The rank of Page is to be
conferred at the next meeting, and

Messrs. Barnes and Matthews, of

week on business with our real estate
agent, Mr. J. T. O'Neal, who expects
to close a deal with them for
a block of land within the corporate
limits covering ten or more acres,
development of which will be known
in the near future.

horses and mules, buggies and wagons,

We were in error last week in
saying that the Simmons cemetery
had been cleaned up by the town.
While chief Hand and some of the
town hands assisted in the work,
still a large part of it was done by
Mr. A. E. H. Simmons, and others of
the Simmons family, while they furnished
several laborers as well. The
work was well done and the improvement
is wonderful.
The Herald Book Store has just
received a beautiful line of cut glass
and fancy china. Come in and see
it, and let us quote some prices. You
will find it much cheaper than you
have been paying.
The Darlington Press comes out
now as a twenty page paper, and of
this fifteen columns are advertisements.
Why can't Bamberg merchants
realize the value of advertisj

| Mr. J. J. Jones had a narrow escape
from serious injury last Saturday.
He got on the passenger train
when it stopped at the depot, and
when he got off he stepped into a
pile of cinders and got a bad fall.
He was considerably bruised and
scratched up, but fortunately he w-as
not seriously hurt His many friends
will be glad to know that the accident
was not so serious and that he
is about all right again.
District Meeting Knights of Pythias.
The district meeting Knights of
Pythias, held at Olar Tuesday of last
week, was a most enjoyable occasion,
and the large number of delegates
and visitors who attended were delighted
at the entertainment given
by the good people of Olar.
The public meeting was neia in
the school house, and the exercises
consisted of an address of welcome
by Mayor W. T. Cave, and the response
by Solicitor James E. Davis.
I Mr. W. M. Oxner, chancellor commander,
then welcomed the Knights
on behalf of Olar lodge, and Past
Grand Chancellor Charles Carroll
Simms, of Barnwell, responded.
Mr. Eugene M. Peeples, of Hampton,
then addressed the Knights as
to the Thornwell memorial. Mr.
Peeples is a member of the commission
appointed at the recent session
of the grand lodge at Aiken. Then
came a most bountiful picnic dinner
on the school house grounds.
In the afternoon the secret meeting
was held, and the reports from
the various lodges were very fine,
Bamberg lodge showing up among
the best. District Deputy Grand
Chancellor B. F. Thomas, of Fairfax,
was present and presided over the
meeting. The next meeting is to be
held" with the Blackville lodge in
j February.

' Returns to Bamberg
Mr. W. C. Patrick, an old Bamberg
boy, who has, for the past four
years beep a* resident of Columbia*
is in the city, and it is quite probable
that he will again be identified
with Bamberg and her business interests.
This will be welcome newB
to his many friends throughout this
and thfe adjoining counties, where
he is well known. Mr. Patrick has,
for the past year and a half, been
connected with the Southern States
Life Insurance Company, of Alabama,
whose headquarters for the
South Carolina department is located
in Columbia, and he is now considering
the advisability of opening
an office in this city for the purpose
of conducting a district agency
which \yill include Bamberg and several
adjoining counties. We are
giad to learn of his advancement in
the work which he has chosen, and
predict the success for him which
XIV 9U WCU UCOU1 j ^o.
In speaking of the company which
he represents, Mr. Patrick says:
"Our company has certainly filled
a long-felt need of the South in giving
to th? Southern people the most
liberal policy contracts on the market
which are backed by the best
Southern life insurance companies,
directed and managed by some of
the South's foremost business and
professional men, and operated by
Southern money. I shall have something
very interesting to say to the
people of this section through the
columns of The Herald in the near
future." The Herald extends to
Cliff its best wishes.
Bamberg Knights of Pythias.
In the August number of the Pythian,
we find the following from
Grand Chancellor L. S. Mattison:^
"Brother L. B. Fowler, Chancellor
Commander of Bamberg Lodge,
No 38, states that his lodge has had
rank work to do at every meeting
this year. Brother Fowler at the
first of the year gave himself the
task of getting one new member
each month during the year. Seven
months have passed and he has gotten
eight new members. If every
Chancellor Commander would do
as Brother Fowler, do you know
how. many new members we would
have this year from this source
alone? Exactly 2,160. Brother
Fowler also states that Bamberg
Lodge has ordered a new set of officers'
robes complete, and a lantern
or?a cliriee for thp. first rank. They
also propose to do the work with
out the ritual. Can any lodge in
the State beat this record?"
White Men Attempt Assault.
Manassas, Va., August 20.?John
C. Furr and Harry Furr, two white
men, have been arrested on the
charge of attempting a criminal assault
on Mary Nestlerode, the 16year-old
daughter of James Nestlerode,
a white man living near Manassas,
and held to await the action
of the grand jury.
Jt is claimed the two men, both
of whom are married, went to the
home of the girl in the day time
Fortunately theey were both seen
and heard by some neighbors, whc
rescued Miss Nestlerode.
Both men immediately left foi
Washington before they could be ar
rested, but were shortly afterward
apprehended and taken before a justice
of the peace, who held them, in
default of bail, to await the action
of the grand jury.
John C. Furr has a wife and children
living at Manassas. Harn
Furr has a wife and several children
living in Loudon county.

In Honor of Miss Hooser.
On last Wednesday evening the
hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs.
Geo. F. Hair, on Railroad Avenue,
was the scene of a delightful social
function in the form of an "at
home" given in honor of Mrs. Hair's
charming guest, Miss Clarence
Houser, of Fort Valley, Georgia.
The guests were received in the reception
hall by Miss Houser, assisted
by Mr. Judson Hair, Jr., of Blackville.
During the evening there was introduced
a guessing contest at which
Miss Frankie Folk proved the best
guesser and captured first prize. Mr.
Norman Kirsch, being the least successful
in the contest, was awarded
the booby prize, "a common taier.
After the contest, a sweet course,
consisting of ice cream and sweet
wafers, were served by Misses Louise
Folk, Lalla Byrd, Kate Rentz, and
Blanche Hair. During the evening,
punch was served in the. reception
hall by Misses Kate Rentz and
Blanche Hair.

Picnic at Edisto.
One of the most enjoyable of the
midsummer's pleasures was tne picnic
given at Edisto on Friday of last
week, when quite a number of Bamberg's
young folks boarded the train
here for that occasion.
All thoughts of business and cares
were-left behind, and it could be
plainly seen that the party was truly
one on "pleasure bent," and we feel
sure that the passengers en route
were doubly convinced of this fact
when some of our sweet singers
started up some popular rag time
airs. Boat riding, strolling and
cosy corners were indulged in during
the morning hours, and shall we say
what happened in the afternoon?
Well, of course, that which invari- '
ably does happen on such occasions <
?a sudden'downpour. I
Just after our bountiful repast under
the shade of the trees, this was <
visited upon us, and we were there- j
by forced to partake of the hospitality
of Uncle Ben and make a hasty <
retreat to his little cabin. But 4
should this little unexpected change
in the weather mar our pleasure for *
the day? No, the merry makers had 4
come for fun and fun they must
have. They were determined that '
not such dampness should for a mo- 4
ment throw a damper on their
spirits, and some one very fittingly
suggested that we should have some 4
vocal selections, which were well
rendered by our ever ready Charlie
Rentz, assisted by a chorus of more (
than a dozen voices. It is needless .
to say that this was enjoyed by every
one, and it was afterwards voted i
that despite the rain these were real- ^
ly the most* pleasant hours of the
day. <
It was decided that we would have <
supper at the depot just before the
? ? 1?1 ~Knf VllinffOP VlOff 4
arrival ui mc nam, uu>. uuuB^?
long since overtaken the boys, and
when the chaperones appeared on
the scene to arrange the table they
found the baskets, but where oh!
where were the contents? Just as
we were lamenting over this situation
we heard the sound of the whistle
which reminded us of the fact
that there must be an end to all good
things and that we must bid goodbye
to dear old Edisto until the winter
months have waned and the good
old summer time and our school
boys and girls are with us again.
We are indebted in a large measure
for the day of pleasure to Mesdames
J. E. Felder, F. W. Free and
Ruth Bamberg who so graciously
acted as chaperones
Those present were: Misses Bessie
McManus, of Lancaster, Clarence
Houser, of Fort Valley, Ga.; Frankie
Folk, Annie Lou Byrd, Wilhelmina
Fniir Ruth Bvrd. Lalla Bvrd. May
Brabham, Camile Price, Flossie Murdaugh,
Ethel and Urma Black,
Leonard Folk, Jennie Graham, Lollie
Free, Evie Free, Blanche Hair,
and Ottie Simmons.
Messrs. Willie Wiggins of Savannah,
Ga.; Judson Hair, of Blackville,
S. C.; Bennie and Joe Williams,

Charlie Rentz, H. N. Folk,

Felder, Willie Dickinson, Alfred Ray,
Henry and Eugene Stokes, Norman
and Simms Fender.
, The thanks of those present are
due Misses Ruth Byrd, Wilhelmina
Folk, and May Brabham, who were
| the leading spirits in getting up the
. picnic.
Something New in Bamberg.

f Getting Ahead
The problem ot getting ahead in this life is a matter of shav- . r
ing and saving. Yon most shave your expenditures until
they are less than your income,1 then save the difference by
putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of <
your income into the bank regularly and live on the reoparinder.
You do not have to sacrifice the comforts of living in ~
order to save a little out of your income. It's the Idea of
saving a little and saving it with system. A bank account
