Special trains were run over the Southern this week from Branchville and Blackville to Columbia to accommodate visitors to the State Fair, but Bamberg had no special trains and our people had to spend a night in Columbia in order to see anything of the Fair, or drive to Denmark early in the morning and take the Seaboard. The present schedule gives a Bamberg man little time in Columbia if he wants to come home the same day. New line belting at W. D.

Last Sunday afternoon at half past three o'clock Mr. Harry A. Wright and Miss Florrie Black were happily married. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. -Black, in this city, and was a very quiet affair, only the immediate relatives and a few friends being present. Rev^Chas. B. Smith, presiding elder of the Orangeburg district, was the officiating minister. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left for Orangeburg, which city will be their home in future. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Black, and is a young woman of fine character. She has always been popular among a large circle of friends, and their best wishes go with her to her new home. The groom was also born and raised in Bamberg, he only moving to Orangeburg a few months ago. "Doc," as he is known to his many friends here, is one of the finest voune men we know. He is quiet and unassuming, but his sterling worth is known and appreciated by all the people of Bamberg. He is a capital business man, and until going to Orangeburg was book-keeper for the Cotton Oil Co. He is now assistant cashier of the Planters Bank in Orangeburg. In common with their many friends, The Herald extends congratulations and good wishes. % The popularity of the young couple was evidenced by a large number of handsome presents. Loyal Temperance Legion. The Loyal Temperance Legion will meet at the Methodist church on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is earnestly desired that we have a splendid attendance.

Bring some nice papers so that we can hand them to our literature committee to distribute. Two Negroes Killed. Last Saturday night there were two killings in this county, the victims in each case being negroes. A negro named Joe Bryant was shot at the house of Austin Downing, another negro, on the plantation of Mr. V. G. Behre, a few miles below town. There seems to be a good deal of mystery connected with the affair, as the coroner's jury brought in a verdict that Bryant came to his death at the hands of unknown parties. Bryant lived on Mr. Joe I. Copeland's place in the same section. We have not been able to see the testimony taken at the inquest held by Coroner Zeigler, therefore can giVe no facts in the case. No arrests have been made./ At a hot supper on Hon. S. G. Mayfield's plantation near Denmark Saturday night a negro named Sam Diggins was shot to death. Four negroes are lodged in jail. Hamp Washington is charged with the killing, with Henry Rice and Aubrey Connelly as accessories. A negro woman named Minnie Stroman is also in jail, but it is stated that she is a witn oca rmlv Card of Thanks. Editor The Bamberg Herald: ? Please permit me space in your paper to return my sincere thanks and appreciation to my many friends who have been so kind and considerate to me during my recent illness. Such kindness I shall ever remember with all the gratitude of my heart. And to those friends, my faithful physician and the attentive nurses, that stood by me and kindly administered to my wants even when the lamp of life burned low and apparently there was but little hope of recovery, to you also, my kind friends, I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation. L. N. BELLINGER, Bamberg, S. C., October 28, 1908. Election Returns. Through the courtesy of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. and the kindness of its local manager, Mr. F. F. Shores, election returns will be received by this newspaper next Tuesday night. We will get returns from all over the country, and these bulletins will be displayed at The Herald Book Store, where all interested will be welcome. If you are interested in Bryan's electtion, come out and find out whether he is elected or not. It is presumed that by twelve or one o'clock the result will be pretty well known, at least by that hour enough returns will be in to indicate the result. i % RALLY DAY EXERCISES. Interesting Program of Methodist Sunday-school Last Sunday. Indian summer in all of its beauty and splendor, with its rich colorings of gold and deep blushes of scarlet, was a truly beautiful setting for Rally Day exercises held at Trinity Methodist church last Sunday afternoon. With the passing of the summer, and the arrival of autumn, and the general harvest time in full blast, the time was ideal, and immediate thought for the day was to bri~g in the sheaves and all sing "Harvest Home." The little children of the Sabbath-school, with their decorations of rich and pure golden rod and leaves of crimson, as they marched in to the auditorium was truly an inspiring sight, and the large gathering of people which filled the auditorium and the Sunday-school room, was visibly impressed by the sacredness and childlike beauty of the procession. The church was beautiful with decorations of evergreen and autumn A i in rep arch, with "Rallv av/nvio AW ?M*qv ?? ?Mr .. w Day" suspended therefrom, occupied the center of the altar railing, and as the procession wended its way just in front of the arch, the choir began the services, singing "Rally for Jesus." The afternoon was then devoted to the program, which had been well and skillfully prepared by the publishers of the Methodist Church, South. The manner in which the children performed their parts and carried out the exercises was a great credit to themselves, but especially to the ladies of the committees which trained them. It required much time and patience on the part of all concerned, but all should feel well repaid by the success of the services. The chief object of the day was to inspire new life, add new names to the roll of classes, and, above all, to make the school a better place for training the minds of the pupils in the right direction. The reorganization of the school has already been mentioned in these columns, but another word might be qHfioH and it is this: The Sunday school of Trinity (or any other church for that matter) depends Jargely on the interest manifested by the older members of the church. The idea that the school can be made to succeed by merely having the classes organized and taught, is one which has been a great detriment to the work of the schools. But now that the. idea of making the Sabbathschool a place for the old as well as the young is gaining ground, the life of the schools is being added to. Primarily the object of the school is to train the children, but is is a true fact that the older members should take part in the services as well as the children. During the afternoon last Sunday cards of application for membership were handed out to a large number in the congregation, and it is believed that the roll will be largely increased. The collection for the afternoon was given to missions, in this instance foreign missions was favored. vumuig vyuui u The November term of the circuit court will convene here on Monday, November 9th, Judge Jno.

D G Smith, Madison, Fla, had his mother's house painted Devoe 11 year ago, and the house looks better to-day than any other houses painted with other paint 3 or 4 years ago.

I He is the youngest son of Mrs. Lenaj E. Hanberry, of Denmark. His many I friends, both of Denmark and Bam-j berg, will be pleased to hear he is! now pleasantly situated at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. He writes hon e he would rather be a soldier than a farmer. Fort Sam Houston is one of the most important posts in the South, and has the largest garrison in the United States. It covers more than 18,000 acres, on which large bodies of troops can be mobilized and drilled. This brigade post consists of two regiments of cavalry, one of infantry, and one of artillery; one hospital, one engineering and one pioneer corps, and also everything belonging to the headquarters of such a post.

Big Cotton Fire at Cope. Last Thursday morning about one o'clock a fire, which is supposed to have originated from a spark from a passing freight engine on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, at Copes, Orangeburg county, destroyed about twenty-five bales of cotton belonging to Green-Brabham Company of that place, which cotton had been left upon the railroad platform over night. It is difficult to understand, after one has been on the scene, how it was possible to prevent the total dent motion of not only the depot but a number of box cars as well which were standing on the tracks at the time and were in close proximity to the fire. It must have been heroic work on the part of the citizens who turned out at the. first alarm to assist in rescuing what qotton they could from the flames. The burning bales were rapidly tumbled from the platform and were hauled as fast as possible to Snake Swamp, a creek not far distant from the town, where a crowd worked for hours trying to extinguishe the fire, but with little effect. There was no insurance on the cotiiniooa fho mtlroftd nomuanT IUU auu UUiVuu vuv - m w can be held liable for the damage Green-Brabham Company will sustain a loss of something like $1,000 to $1,200 from the fire. This, however, calls to mind a similar case in which a Bamberg merchant sustained a loss by the burning of the depot at this place, on the platform of which he had placed several bales of cotton to be shipped. In this case the railroad refused to pay ithe merchant's claim for damages f and suit was entered. A verdict was I given the merchant on the court's I ruling that the platform of the railroad company was their warehouse and that they were, therefore, liable for damages. If claim is m?.dc by the GreenBrabham Company for damages, and payment is refused by the railroad, the final outcome will be watched with interest by the merchants of this place. Mr. Vernon Brabham, who is a son of Mr. H. J. Brabham, and who is a former resident of this place, Is the Brabham of the GreenBrabham Company, and his many friends here hope that he will sustain no loss from the fire. Country Correspondence. ,,0?011r nnlat CrtmmiinitV WaS UU1 ucuun; 4U>Y w. I . In quite a stir last week, due to the Barnwell Baptist Association, which met with the Springtown church. Many delegates, pastors, and visitors, besides the surrounding congregations, were in attendance all four days. The entire program was interesting, and some able speakers discussed the various subjects. One of the most interesting addresses was from Dr. Pitts, of Blackville, on missions. In his able, masterful way he handled his subject as easily as the ordinarily conversationalist would a common chat. Special mention, too, must be made of Rev. A. T. Jamison's address on the orphanage. Rev. Jamison held his congregation, children and all, in the most attentive manner from start to finish. It can be truly said of him that he has associated with the little folks to such ah extent that his mouth is a gateway to express his true and childish feelings, which seem to be his innermost thoughts. Special prayers were offered Mr. Jamison and his two hundred and sixteen children. An excellent sermon on Sunday by Rev. W. M. Jones seemed to be specially fitted to every individual. His text words were "Thy kingdom come," and God's kingdom is everlasting." Moderator Mixon, of Williston, dismissed the Association with a grateful and appreciative address, to meet at Bethel in 1909. Miss Eva Hanberry, of Denmark, spent Monday with Miss Georgia E. Jordan. Our neighborhood will be well represented at the State fair this week. Several schools are opening now. Miss Lillie Peterson, of Laurens, has accepted the Duncanville school near Springtown. Duncanville is real fortunate in securing Miss Peterson, as she is an excellent girl and bore away first honors at O. C. I in the class of '08. Sassafras, Hydiger, Pine Grove, and Clear Pond schools will begin [Monday, November 2nd. The health of our community is and has been exceptionally good this fall and we are thankful and hope it's continuance. * NOTICE OF ELECTION. State of South Carolina?County of Bamberg.
