The merchants of Bamberg did a
r tremendous business last week.
From all reports more goods were
sold here during the holidays than
ever before. Every merchant seems
to be well satisfied with his sales.
It is time that Bamberg Methodists
were doing something in the
way of a new parsonage. The church
and parsonage do not go very well
together, in fact it looks bad to have
such a fine church and such a poor
* parsonage building.

Christmas passed off quietly in
Bamberg, and there were no accidents
of any kind. As usual a lot of

AN EXCITING FINISH.
Little Julia Price Wins Handsome
Doll in Voting Contest.
The voting contest at The Herald
Book Store closed last Thursday
night at 12 o'clock, after running
for several weeks. A number of
votes were polled, and a number of
customers did not get votes on their
purchases because they did not ask
for them. We were always glad to
give them when requested. The
prize was a handsome doll, which
was won by little Julia Price, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar L. Price,
with little Matrude Brabham, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Brabham,
Jr., second.
The finish was exciting, as it was
almost anybody's race, the number
of votes out making the winner purely
problematical. However, little
Miss Price kept in the lead, and won
out by a good margin.
We appreciate the interest taken
in this contest, and nest year we expect
to have one on a larger scale.
At the end of the contest the totals
were:

DEATH AND DAMAGE IN ITALY.
People Panic Stricken by Shocks of
Serious Nature.
Rome Dec. 28.?Violent earthquake
shocks were felt in Calabria
this morning. Serious damage is
said to have resulted, and some casualties
are reported at Mileto, Gonadi,
and Stefanconi. At Stefanconi
the shock was most severe, but San
Gregorio, San Giorgo, and Majerata
also suffered.
Southern Italy was visited by a serious
and fatal earthquake this
morning. The center of the disturbance
was in Sicily and the greatest
loss of life and property occurred on
that island. Reports are incomplete.
At Caltanisetta and at Mineo several
houses were shaken down and
the people are panic stricken. At
Agosta two churches and several
houses were demolished, but no lives
were lost.
Latest reports are that three dead
and sixty wounded were removed
from the ruins at Stefaconi. Sixty
are said to have been injured at
"
saniuumu.
Tidal Wave at Catania.
Catania, Sicily, Dec. 28.?A tidal
wave swept this port to-day, a result
of the earthquake disturbances. People
on the water front were thrown
into an indescribable condition of
fear.
The approach of the water was
seen and people fled from th^e waterfront
into the town. The waters
came and left confusion and damage
in their wake.
It is not known yet whether any
-lives were lost. A number of fishing
boats were swamped and three
steamers in port were more or less
damaged.
Three Steamers Damaged.
London, Dec. 28.?A dispatcn
from Catania Sicily, says that the
Swedish steamer Asta, Austrian
steamer Budatwo and Italian steamer
Orseolo were damaged by the
earthquake and consequent tidal
disturbance at that port. The extent
of the injuries is not given.
Recorded in Washington.
Washington, Dec. 28.?An earthquake
of moderate force but quite
prolonged was recorded by the
weather bureau instruments last
night.
It is estimated that the great force
of the shock was felt 4,800 miles
from here.
FIND COUNTERFEITING OUTFIT.
Officers Said to Have Discovered Illegal
Implement in Greenville.
Greenville, Dec. 27.?John E.
Washer, of the United States secret
service, and Chief of Police J. K.
Penman, it is alleged, found a complete
counterfeiting outfit, including
moulds, metal and dies, hidden in a
bed in the isolated shack of Matthew
E. Ralston, a carpenter, 10 miles
east of here to-day. Ralston was arrested
Wednesday night by local police
on a charge of passing counterfeit
dollars.
SUCCUMBS TO BROKEN NECK.
Boy Lives 134 Days After Accident
While in Swimming.
New York. Dec. 26.?To have
lived 134 day? with a broken neck
was the recoi ji Walter Canning, aj
well developed i 5-year-old boy, who
died in Broo. yn yesterday.
Diving in the waters of Sheepshead
bay on August 13, Canning
struck bottom and the top of his
spine was driven into the base of his
skull. After remaining unconscious
for three days an operation was performed
in which the spinal cord was
laid bare.
The youth recovered consciousness
and the use of the right side of the
body. He was moved to his home
apparently on the road to recovery,
* anH TL'Q a
out ilgillU 1U31 tuua</iuui)ui.iia uuu OWW
taken back to the hospital, where he
died.
Christmas Play at Kearse.
Kearse, Dec. 29.?A large and enthusiastic
audience greeted the amateur
club of eight girls in their play,
"Miss Fearless & Co.," at White
Point school house on Christmas
night. It was said by several present
that this was the best amateur
play they had ever seen presented,
and everybody went away feeling
that they Jfed received more than
their mon^s worth. This play was
one given by the expression class
of Columbia College last year and in
which Miss Melle Kearse took a part
at that time. She was very fortunate
in selecting her cast of characters for
this play, as each one seems especially
suited for her part. These are the
young ladies taking part:
. Miss Ethel Kearse?Margaret Henley.
Miss Melle Kearse?Bettie Cameron.
Miss Evelyn Brabham?Barbara
Livingston.
Miss Vena Breland?Marian Rey
UU1UO.
Miss Cressida Breland?Euphemia
Addison.
Miss Edna Chitty?Sara Jane
Lovejoy.
Miss Pearl Breland?Katie O'Connor.
Misses Alice and Aline Kearse?
Alias and Alibi.
Salome Brabham?Just Liz.
Miss Alice Kearse being taken
suddenly ill on Xmas day, her part
was admirably sustained by Miss
Genelle Breland.
Where all were so good it is hard
to specialize, and we feel sure that
these young ladies could successfully
entertain an audience in any city.
If they appear in Bamberg, as they
think of doing, in the interest of the
Civic Association, they deserve a
well-filled house, and we feel sure
that they will provoke many a hearty
laugh,' for most of the characters are
rich and all good.

The Cotton Market.
Cotton is selling in Bamberg to|day
(Wednesday) for 8% cents the
tpound. The total receipts here this
season amount to 10,600 bales.
Some farmers are holding their cotton
for higher prices.
Death of Mrs. Ellzey.
After an illness of about four
months, Mrs. Amanda J. Ellzey died
at the home of her son, Mr. C. F. Ellzey,
of this place, at about two
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Ell
V V/AWM M v
zey had been a sufferer from cancer
of the stomach for some time and
this was the direct cause of her
death. She leaves three sons,
Messrs. C. C. Ellzey, of Denmark, U.
L. Ellzey, of Clio, Ga., and C. F. Ellzey,
of this place, also one daughter,
Mrs. Furman Smoak, of Flemington,
Fla., who, with a great many other
relatives and friends, mourn the loss
of this good woman. The remains
were interred in the family burying
ground at Midway Monday afternoon
in the presence of a great concourse
of sorrowing friends and relatives
who had come to pay their
last respects.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Ellzey feel very
grateful to the many friends who so
kindly assisted them in many ways
during their affliction, and take this
means of expressing their appreciation.
Wholesale Grafting.
Pittsburg, Dec. 29.?About 2,000
people crowded around city hall last
night when both branches of the
council met. Each of the alleged
grafting councilmen was in his seat
when President Brant, who is under
$40,000 bail, announced that he
would retire from the chair until his
fnnnppnrva was Droved of the charges
under which he was held. Under a
unanimous vote the chamber asked
him to retain his chair, but he refused,
saying he would retire, for the
night, at least.
The crowd which blocked the
street outside on hearing this cheered
for two minutes. It was announced
early that no other arrests would
be made during the evening. An attempt
to arrest any of the councilmen
last evening would likely have
precipitated bloodshed.
Another and most interesting
phase of the grafting problem has
been opened up here by the announcement
that 20 checks, for different
amounts, which had been
given by the paymaster of the alleged
grafting councilmen combine to
members of council have been found.
They are reported to be all properly
onHnrspH and cashed by those in
V/JUU.VA ?
whose favor they had been drawn.
This brings out the fact that banks
in other cities have been made a
party to the councilmanic bribery,
for in order to cover up any big sum
paid out some of the banks in the
city deposit grab are accused of having
arranged with their Eastern correspondent
as to consign a certain
large amount of money to the grafters
at Pittsburg, payable at the bank
in question, and the graft leader at
once issued his own personal checks
to his pals. It is a score of these
checks that the voters league now
claim to have.
At still another bank the graft
boss is said to have lifted the consignment
of money sent him from
New York by direction of the local
bank and put it in a safe deposit
vault, from where he paid it out in
cash and in sums to suit.
COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS
SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around
the County and Elsewhere.
Emhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, Dec. 28.?On Wednesday
night about 7 o'clock the bell at
the Ehrhardt Lutheran church rang
to gather together the folks interested
in the Christmas tree given for
the school children of Ehrhardt
graded school.
The tree was a beauty, with its
many candles lighted and its myriads
of red berries. The tree itself was a
holly, as pretty as our forests could
afford. The candles and presents
! hung on for the children was a
grand sight. Santa Claus was there
to welcome the children and give
them their gifts, after they had recited
their pieces and sang their
songs, led by Mrs. Fannie Copeland
on the organ. The children sang
well, showing that they were well
trained.
All seemed to enjoy the occasion
well, and the children Vere all hap
py and made all feel happy to see
them enjoy themselves so well.
Mr. Jason Fender has a dwarf
lemon plant in a flower pot that has
two lemons on it. One of them
measures fifteen inches in circumference,
the other is not so large but
is very much larger than an ordinary
lemon that we buy from fruit
stores. The plant is blooming again
while maturing its fruit is the
strange feature of the plant.
Talking about scales, a druggist
said that his scale would show the
difference of a pencil mark on a
piece of paper. Another said that
was nothing, that he had a scale that
he could place in the sunshine and* a
fly passing over, the shadow of the
fly as it passed over the scale would
throw it out of balance, it was so
sensitive. The merchants had better
get seal as of the latter make these
hard times, so as to help out their
profits. Don't you think so, too, Mr.
Editor?
Miss Ruth Kennedy, of Williston,
is spending some time with Miss
Elizabeth Roberts.
Christmas passed off rery quietly
here this year, with the exception of
a few darkies getting too much booze
on board and cursing on the streets,
but all this was' soon quieted by our
marshals, who locked them up until
they could control themselves again.
When the council meets on their
cases there will be some gains to the
treasurer's office.
One darky about the Smith plantation
was accidentally shot on
Christmas day. The ball, a .32 calibre,
struck the darky left side of
lower lip, knocking out two teeth and
from appearances will bother him
for only a short while. When asked
about the ball the darky said that he
thinks he swallowed ball and teeth.
Miss Leila Epps left for her home
on the 24th to spend her Xmas holidays
with her parents. She took
with her little Janie Ramsey.
rini? number of turkeys in this
section died from sore neck last
week, and a good many more will die
of the same disease for New Year's
dinners. Mr. Editor, yon know the
men in this section enjoyed them
very much, when one man ate so
much on yesterday at a turkey dinner
until his shoe bursted. Rather a
funny part to be affected from eating
turkey.

Several parties are changing their
homes for another year. We hope
that the change will be for the better.

Baby Nearly Cremated.
New York, Dec. 28.?A blazing
curtain, wind tossed into a candle
flame in a Williamsburg flat, set fire
to a white coffin yesterday in which
lay the body of five-year-old May
OTonnor. In an adjoining room
Mrs. Mary O'Connor, the dead child's
mother, saw the coffin ablaze, but being
an invalid, was unable to leave
her bed. She screamed in terror and
then lost consciousness.
Edward O'Connor, the husband,
assisted by her brother-in-law, finally
put out the fire after being summoned
from a nearby barber shop
by neighbors. The child's body was
saved from cremation and the invalid
mother carried from the apartment.
Seriously ill when the fire occurred,
the shock so aggravated her
condition that it is feared she cannot
live. The child was buried late
in the day in Calvary cemetery.
