Don't say the old vehicle will

G. FRANK BAMBERG.
The track or the Southern Kaiiway
between Charleston and Columbia,
round by Bamberg and Blackville,
has certainly been overworked the
past week. All Southern trains between
these points came by Bamberg,
and the Atlantic Coast Line
trains also passed through here.
1 cannot help it, if the bargain
vehicle you bought did not turn out
to be what you paid your money for
and the concern you bought it of is
out of business,

Bamberg has certainly been a railroad
center the past week. We had
a passenger train almost every hour
in the day, and at night numbers of
freight trains were passing through.
This was caused by the trestle of the
Southern at Kingville being impassable,
and the bridges of the Coast
Line over the Santee being in a like
condition. The flood. hit the railroads
a hard lick.
New fall goods arriving daily at
The Herald Book Store.
Last Saturday afternoon a negro
named Jeff Kearse threw a brick on
Main street and struck an old negro
named Isaac Brabham on the jaw, inflicting
painful injuries. Kearse was
mad with old man Brabham's sen and
was throwing at him and struck the
old man by accident. He was arrested
and put in the guard house. Monday
he was tried before Mayor Hair
and fined $10.00. which was paid.
An out-of-town advertiser writes
us as follows: "We wish to say that
your issue of Saturday, the 5th instant,
is a good one, and we congratulate
you upon getting out such a
nice edition; it would do credit to a
great many of the city dailies." The
writer of the letter named is secretary
and treasurer of Thomas & Barton
Co., and he is also the advertising
manager. He knows what good
work is, and we. highly appreciate his
endorsement.
Handsome Front.
Mr. W.. A. Klauber has purchased
the material for and work has begun
on the handsome new front for his
store, and when completed his place
will be one of the most attractive in
this city. The front will be composed
of two plate glass show windows,
each with a frontage of 6 x 7 feet and
a recessed door, thus making two
very large windows to display goods
in. The top of these windows will
be set off with prism glass which has
a lighting angle of 45 degrees and
will afford an abundance of light
for the interior of his store. Mr.
Klauber has just returned from the
Northern markets, and says that he
has purchased some of the most
modern fixtures for his windows.
Mr. Klauber's progressiveness is to
be commended, and more of our merchants
might do well to emulate his
example.
The Campaign Fund in Bamberg.
We must say that the Democrats
of Bamberg are not as enthusiastic
as they should be over the town's
contribution to tne National democratic
campaign fund, and we believe
that it is due largely to their lack
of appreciation of the work which is
to be done if the Democrats are to
have a representative in the White
House in 1909. We should all remember
that because South Carolina
and the rest of the Southern States
will go solidly Democratic is no
necessity for the work to stop at
simply voting. There are doubtful
States which we must bring over to
our side, and it will cost money to
send speakers of ability into this territory
to convince them that their
course is wrong and that ours is
right. How long will Bamberg refrain
from shouldering her part of
the burden which is naturally laid
on the State of South Carolina?
Other towns are coming to me iront
with generous contributions, while
Bamberg's response is very small indeed.
It is true that the subscription
list which was circulated by one
of our citizens some days ago was
numerously subscribed to but not a
single amount above $1.00 was subscribed
by any one. Can we not get
a few members to the "five hundred
class"? This class, as 4t is perhaps
generally known, is to be composed
of five hundred subscribers to the National
fund, each of whom contribute
$5.00. The suggestion, which was
made by a public-spirited gentleman,
is being put info successful
operation and it would, to take the
selfish side, be a splendid advertisement
for the town if some of our
citizens, who can easily afford it,
would contribute , the required
amount and assist in swelling the
class.
So far the State is much behind
the mark at which she should be.
Up to this writing the entire fund
collected will not exceed $1,200.
When we compare this with Oklahoma's
$50,000 contribution our
amount ,sinks into insignificance. It
may be argued that Oklahoma is
much larger than South Carolina,
but it must also be remembered that
Oklahoma 'is going solidly Democratic,
and that the State is not
twenty-five times larger than our
uwu oiair.
Below we give the status of the
fund in Bamberg, contributions for
which are received at the Herald office
at any time.

Letter to H. J. Brabnam.
Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir: No man is in position
to influence men with regard to
their property more than you in that
little room where they tell you their
troubles. Pity if you don't know how
to keep a house dry and sound, any
sort of structure, house store factory
warehouse shop barn fence?any
sort of fence, except rail; with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it includes
the rest. One paint wears
long, another wears short; but the
on? that wears long is the least-gallons-paint;
least gallons means pure
and strong, and the most-gallons
means adulterated and weak, besides
small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interAfif

Paint is worth a great deal more

Lumber Fire in Cleveland.
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 2.?Fire this
afternoon destroyed lumber valued
at $100,000 in the yards of the Saginaw
Bay Luifcber company. The
flames swept over two acres covered
with lumber piles. A strong wind
fanned the fire and for a time it was
believed the big central viaduct and
the Nickle Plate railway bridge
would be damaged, although both
were constructed largely of steel.
The wooden ties of the railway
bridge caught fire several times, but
the structure was not seriously damaged.
BAMBERG RACERS WIN.
Horses of Jones Bros. Take Prizes
at Florence Last Thursday.
The fine trotting horses of Jones
Bros., of this city, won all the races
in which they were entered at Florence
last Thursday. The following
is the record of the races:
First race, 3:3u class, trot or pace.
Entries:
Geo. T. Little, Camden, Patty Nix,
bay mare.
Jones Bros., Bamberg, Ben Hur,
black gelding, 2.27*4.

bay gelding, 2.22*4.
M. H. Purvis, Timmonsville, Marietta
Crow, black mare.
N. E. Moore, Timmonsville, Alvin
C., sorrel gelding.
Roy won the above race, the time
being 2.29 and 2.26*4. Ben Hur
could have won, but on acount of his
record, 2.27*4, he was not eligible
to start in this race, and he was allowed
to start with the understanding
that he was to take second money,
which he did.
The second race was a free for all.
trot or pace, and the entries were
as follows:
Jones Bros., Bamberg, Bad News,
bay gelding, 2.08%, by Coastman.
E. T. Elliott, Dillon, Alduta, black
gelding.
Howard Cannon, Florence, Mary
Dell, sorrel mare.
M. B. Huggins, Timmonsville, Celebrate,
2.11*4.
J. L. Wilkes, Timmonsville, Coastman,
gray gelding, 2.24*4.
Bad News won this race, his time
being 2.19 and 2.16%.
It was said these were five of the
fastest horses ever started in a race
in South Carolina.
The third race was a three minutes
class, trot or pace, and the entries
were:
J. M. Truluck, Lake City, Virginia
Dear, brown mare.
J. F. Robertson, Florence, Dr. M.,
brown gelding.
Jones Bros., Bamberg, Atlanta
Girl, sorrel mare.
H. D. Warn, Darlington, George
Washington, bay gelding.
M. B. Huggins, Timmonsville, Joe,
bay gelding.
C. P. Berry, Florence, Joe, bay
gelding.
Atlanta Girl won this race, her time
hpine- 2.40 and 2.25.
There were also some running
races but Jones Bros, had no entries
in these, all of their horses being
trotters or pacers.
Mr. L. W. Verner, who has been
training these races here for the past
few months, did the driving, and he
managed the horses magnificently.
The race won by Bad News was hotly
contested, as several gentlemen of
that section had gone North and purchased
Alduta with the expectation
of his winning this race. Mr. Verner
has gone on to Virginia with his
racing string, and will be in the races
throughout that State, Tennessee,
Maryland, and Georgia this winter.
That the horses will give a good account
of themselves we have no
doubt, and this will bring additional
advertising for Bamberg. We congratulate
Jones Bros, on getting together
such a fine lot of horses and
on having such a fine manager as
Mr. Verner.
Olar Graded-High School.
The Olar high school will begin
it's session for 1908-09 on Monday,
September the 14th, at 9 o'clock a.
m. The best teachers have been employed
for this session, each one being
thoroughly competent and painstaking,
and it ?is expected that this
will be the best session the school
has ever had. It is hoped that each
patron will be wise enough to see
the great necessity of children beginning
the first day in order to get
, the best results. Students -will be
admitted from other districts free
of charge. W. M. OXNER, ?
Principal.

election, and he feels very grateful
to his friends for their support, and
he will be ready to serve them in any
way he can.
The Cotton Market
The cotton platform in Bamberg
is a busy place these days, and the
receipts this season bid fair to go way
above previous years. Cotton from J
a distance is coming to Bamberg because
of the high prices paid, and
the receipts to date are double what
they were at the same date last year.
Nearly one thousand bales have been
received during the past week, and
the price to-day (Tuesday) is nine
cents the pound.

NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER.
Theodore Rich wine Shoots and Seriously
Wounds Willis Glover.
Last Saturday afternoon about six
o'clock considerable excitement was
created on the streets when Theodore
Richwine shot and seriously wounded
Willis Glover. The shooting occurred
on the street in rear of the
dispensary. At first it was feared
that Glover would die, but he is improving
right along and will no doubt
get well. The shooting was done with
a pistol, the bulet entering the left
breast just below the heart and going
almost through the body. It
ranged downward and was cut out
of the back, just to the left of th3
spinal column.
We have not heard definitely what
caused the shooting, but from what
we can gather it appeare that there
was no previous bad blood between
them, and that liquor was at the bottom
of it. Both negroes were drinking
and got into a discussion as to
who could whip the other, and the
shooting resulted. Richwine was at
once arested, and is now in jail.
? An "At Home."
On last Wednesday evening Miss
Jennie Graham entertained at an "at
home" in honor of Miss Mildred
Kearse, of Olar, at her home on Carlisle
street.
The guests began to arrive at half
past nine, and were received by the
hostess. Several games were played,
from which much amusement wa?
obtained. Among them were telephone,
feathers, progressive love,
and admiration society.
The main feature of the evening
was the flower contest, in which Miss
Mildred Kearse and Mr. Charlie
Black won the prizes.
For refreshments partners were secured
. by matching quotations from
popular songs. The couples were
served by little Misses Carey and Rebecca
Graham. .

Getting Ahead] J
The problem of getting ahead in this life is a matter of shaving
and saving. Yon must shave your expenditures until
they are less than your income, then save the difference by ? r/
putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of ; v
your income into the bank regularly and live on the remain- >
der. 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
