On Friday afternoon, October 9th, j the Civic Association of Bamberg; ] met at the residence of Mrs. John H. Cope, the president being in the chair. At a previous meeting the week before, the Association was or^ . j 3 fnllAnrincr offippr.Q < gaillZfU ctliU tile luuw unit, | . elected: Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, president; j Mrs. A. W. Knight, first vice presi- 1 dent; Mrs. Jno. -H. Cope, second vice president; Mrs. W. P. Jones, treas-h urer; Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Jr., re-h cording secretary; Mrs. G. P. Har- ; mon, corresponding secretary. This, the second meeting of the organization, was well attended, i fourteen new members being enrolli ed, aud much enthusiasm and interest was shown by those present. It was decided that there would be no initiation fee but dues of fifty j cents per year for active members land $1.00 for associate members,! j this amount to be paid in advance. The meetings will be held in the j chapel of the Carlisle Fitting School i on the fourth Thursday of each | month at four o'clock, i The town was divided into five wards, each ward having a delegation of women appointed by the president every month to inspect and report to the mayor anything unsanitary or I not conducive to the good appearance of the town in said ward. A meeting of the officers was called to plan out work for the present month. The officers will meet this week when the committees for the various wards j will be appointed. 1 This movement on the part of the ladies to beautify and improve the sanitary conditions of the town is . very commendable, and every woman that has any local attachment and has our little city's welfare at heart, should feel it a privilege to : join the association and thus help on the good work. The next meeting will be held next Thursday afternoon. October 22nd.! G. D. B. ! j Campaign Funds. A. W. Knight. Decania Dowling and Jno. H. Cope have been appointed as a committee by Col.

We also have a list at The Bamberg Herald office. ( The chances for Democratic success( I were never brighter, but money is; } needed for expenses.

Laurens, Oct. 7.?In view of the approaching election on the dispen- t sary in this county the prohibition a forces have planned a series of tem- i perance rallies which will be held c throughout the county this month, i In addition to a number of local c speakers, including Rev. W. E. Thayer, pastor of the First Baptist church, a Hon. C. C. Featherstone, Rev. E. C. i a Watson, pastor of two of the large j 1 Baptist churches oi the county, and i t the Rev. C. Lewis Fowler, pastor of I the First Baptist church at Clinton,' a Dr. Geo.,B. Cromer of Newberry and } Dr. Chas. E. Burts, of Edgefield, have 1 been invited to participate in the campaign. The election will be held I on the 3rd of November, the samejt date of the general election. This; * will be the second effort to rid the i county of dispensary, as it will be re- i membered that in January 1906, an 1 election was held on the same proposition and anti-dispensarv won by a '< small majority. However, the elec- ' tion was contested on certain alleged irregularities and after much litiga tion it was declared null and void. Consequently the shop has continued ] to do business, an exceedingly fine < business too,considerably over $100,- < 000 a year. i Some Splendid Reasons. < The Southern States Life Insurance j Company, of which company Mr. W. . C. Patrick is general agent, through , their very attractive advertisement , in this issue, calls the attention of ( the insuring public to ten reasons why they should lose no time in se- ( curing a policy with them. , This is a Southern company, and , one which has won a place among the strongest of Southern financial institutions. Its officers and board j of directors have been drawn from among the most prominent Southern financial and professional men, who would be a tower of strength to any . company. The class of men behind ( this company commends it to the ^ people of the South, and its conser- , vative business and honest dealings . with its policy holders has won the j nnqualified praise of a noted insurance expert, who recently examined ( the company's affairs for the insurance department of the State of Alabama. The object of the Southern States Life is most commendable, in that it proposes to conserve the wealth of : the South by means of building up a giant life insurance company. When we reflect on the untold influence which the Northern and Eastern insurance companies have wielded in the financial affairs of the entire country in the past, it is easy to see how very important it is * that we people of the South should support Southern institutions, everything being equal. The reasons given in this advertisement are splendid 3 v._ir * V. ,*11 nf ones, ana we uenevc lhc?y win uc vi 1 interest to many of our readers. 1 fine Horses and M ey were bought ri; ctra fine driving h ck.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least ane dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doin.e its work.
