On account of the bad fire record ? of Bamberg, some of the insurance - companies have been endeavoring to increase rates in this city. The W'' South-eastern Tariff Association wrote . Mr. W. P.

The bonds have been sold to a firm of Chicago hankers, the rate of interest being 5% per cent. The board of public works will now take up the matter of installing the system, and it will not be very long before Bamherg will have protection from fire, as well as a reduction in insurance rates. There are merchants who prefer a system of "bookkeeping" which invites errors. Those who adopt the McCaskey system do so to avoid errors. "Bookkeeping unkeeps ac counts." D. A. KINARD & CO. Let everyone, whether they have read the sad drama of "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" or not, attend Kritchfield's entertainment on tne night of Monday, November 16th. It is one of the most sensational dramas ever written, abounding in emotional situations and replete with sentiment and pathos. A play of climaxes, and every one leaving a wholesome moral lesson. By all means let the children attend and profit by the lesson that no other school can teach. ? Pay your subscription. We need the money. , See the new ad. of the Ehrhardt Banking Co. in this issue.

Many of our subscribers are paying their subscription in advance for another year, and others should do so. We do not carry subscribers who are in arrears. The special services at the Methodist church will close with the service of th4s (Wednesday) evening. Several people have been converted during the meeting, and much good has been done. See the ad. of dog lost in another column. This dog belongs to G. Frank Bamberg, and he is very anxious to recover him. He will liberally reward any person who can give information which will lead to recovery of the animal. Mr. Hayne F. Rice left yesterday for Bamberg, to attend court there. Mrs. Rice went to Charleston to attend a missionary meeting. From there she will go to Sumter to attend a meeting of the D. A. R.?Aiken Journal and Review. There was no meeting of the Knights of Pythias Monday evening, as the meetings are now being held in the court house" and court was in session. The new regalia has been ordered, and it will arrive in time to confer degrees at the next meeting. A merchant who had not been advertising, recently put aa ad. in The Herald, and in remitting for it says that his sale was a big success, and that he did much better than he expected. Advertising in the Herald pays, this being only another instance of it. The management of The Bamberg Herald does not want to be unaccommodating, but we must insist that advertisers let us have changes for their advertisements before Tuesday of each week. It is a physically impossibility to change all ads. when copy is handed in on Tuesday, and yre must ask our patrons to give ds their copy on Monday. They can do it just as well, and it will enable us to issue our paper promptly. / New Advertisements. -G. H. Dorsett?I Am Selling Lots. / Thomas. & Barton Co.?Read This Ad.

John and Alfred Maynard are brothers and live near Midway, living on adjoining lands. They have lived there for years in peace and unity, but Tuesday morning their wives got into a quarrel oyer Alfred's hogs rooting, up John's potatoes. Their husbands were away from home, and they had a good fight. Julia, the ywife of John, was badly cut oh the hands with a hoe by Eva, the wife of Alfred, and Julfa's face was also badly scratched. The cuts on her hands were so large that they had to be stitched up by a physician, she coming to Bamberg to have her wounds dressed. When seen, Julia said she had not hurt Eva, but wanted a warrant for her. However, it is likely that the case will not get into the courts, as it is only a family row, and Julia's wounds while painful are not serious. f KA T.qyt U1V Ml rw v We notice that the postmaster al Barnwell has received instructions tc demand that newspaper publishers ol that town strictly comply with the law as to unpaid subscriptions. It is unlawful to send newspapers to subscribers who owe for a year or more at the pound rate. Newspapers sent to subscribers who are one year ir arrears must be wrapped separately and a one cent stamp attached. Wt are glad to see that this law is to be enforced at last. The governmeni has been lenient with newspapers, as it did not care to make this greai change suddenly. But now the pub lishers have had ample notice, and the law is to be enforced. It pleases us mightily. We hope it will be strictly enforced everywhere. We presume the postmaster at Bamberg has re ceived similar instructions and that h< will see that the law is enforced here The Bamberg Herald is ready to shov him its subscription list at any time and will be glad for him to inspect it He will find the date each subscribe! has paid to opposite the name. This newspaper carries no dead-head sub scribers. Special Services. j Rev. Thos. G. Herbert, pastor of j Trinity Methodist church of this city, has been holding special services in j his church for more than a week, ( and is thereby accomplishing great good. His afternoon talks are beau- 1 tiful in the extreme, and his evening j sermons strong and forcible. The attendance is fairly good though there are many who ought to take advantage of these precious opportunities who are not doing so. The sermon Sunday morning es- j pecially to fathers and mothers was peculiarly adapted and remarkably strong. He said that the crying need of our land and country is chris" tian fathers and mothers, and he emphasized the need of christian fath- i ers?God pity the home where , all the training of the little ones is left for the mother and where, as is often the case, only mother has religion f r the entire family. Sunday evening, Mr. Herbert's subject was "Drunk when the message came," and this he made applicable not only to those who are drunk on wine or 1 strong drink, but to those drunk, upon the accumulation of wealth, as well as upon the pleasures and follies of the social world. ' Would that every man, woman and child in Bamberg could have heaijd these two serndons! The evening service is being continued this week. g Meyers' Votes Thrown Out. i Aiken, November 10.?The commissioners and managers for the ; State and reaerai elections met iihb afternoon to tabulate the result of the election held last Tuesday. The total number of votes cast for gover- | nor was' 1,944 and the other State officers and county officers received 1 1,940 each. The total number of j votes cast for congress was 1,971, of which Patterson received lf951, Rev. | Isaac Meyers receiving 20 votes, all i of which were thrown out as being ; illegal, th$ ballots being of an illegal | size and illegally printed.'? i The commissioners had before them a protest from Meyers signed ! by Attorney Moorer, against the com- j missioners counting any votes cast for Mr. Patterson on the ground that j the managers of election rejected a I sufficient number of votes to hive changed the result and also because j qualifications were ^demanded by the j managers that are* not required by the constitution of 1868 or 1895. i [Have You Noticed 1 I How mellow and per- f I I fectly blended are the I | flavors of the different fl I kinds of fruit usea m I your fruit cake if it is I I made now and allowed I I to "age" properly?
