Those who attended services at the Methodist church last Sunday night were delighted with the duet rendei jfe.-x ?d by Miss Pearle Counts and Mr. C. $?> W/Rentz. It was greatly enjoyed by all. f Some one said that you could find most anything you needed in the r: hardware line at C. R. Brabham's Sons.

In his address last Sunday Rev. J. r;.-v- L. Harley asked that a number of - . Bamberg people go to Columbia Wednesday to attend the public hearing on the prohibition bill, and it is likely that a number attended. C. F. Rizer at Olar received a car load of mules Tuesday of this week, direct from the West. Don't you need a first-class mule to make your . crop with this year? If you do, go to see him. He has the stock to suit you, and will make the prices right. Gold Band brand hams only 15c. the pound at D. A. Kinard & Co.'s. These are guaranteed. Try them. Bamberg county"s representatives fared very well in the matter of committee appointments. Senator Black is on commerce and manufactures, mines and mining, and medical affairs. Mr. Garris is assigned to ways and means, banking and insurance, and federal relations. Mr. Riley is on railroads, internal improvements, and mines and mining. The ladies are especially invited to call and see the entire new line of goods at the 5 and 10 cent store. We have received this week another shipment of Waterman's fountain pens.

The circulation of The Herald* is more that double what it was a few years ago, and we are still growing. We are grateful for this increase, and it shows that the people apreciate the paper, for we get cash in advance. We have carefully selected a line of goods for the household use. Don't fail to call and see our line at the 5 and 10 cent store before you buy. Last Monday a petition was circulated in town and was largely signed. This petition was addressed to Senator J. B. Black, and asked that he vote for the prohibition bill now before the general assembly. Heretofore Senator Black has voted for the dispensary system, but he will no doubt heed the wishes of his constituents if he is convinced that a majority of the voters of this county want State-wide prohibition. New line post cards just in at The Herald Book Store. Come in and see them. Best granulated sugar 25 pounds for $1.40 at D. A. Kinard & Co.'s. We lead in low prices on best groceries. Will be glad to have your order. The Herald Book Store received this week a new lot of stationery, blank books, tablets, etc. Remember that we can supply your wants in stationery, office and school supplies, school books, etc. * There seems to be something of an epidemic of mad dogs in this community, and it would be well for city council to require all dogs to be shut up for a few weeks any way. Several dogs supposed to be mad have been killed in town during the past few days. We understood some time ago that the citizens of Blackville township were circulating a petition asking for an election on the question of voting themselves into Bamberg county, but we have heard nothing of the matter Wa simnose the Droiect has died out. Mr. J. W. Stokes went to Tennessee last week, where he bought a fine car load of horses and mules for G. Frank Bamberg. The load arrived Monday of this week, and if you want an extra fancy horse or mule, go to see him without delay, as these are right from the blue grass country. New Advertisements. H. J.

In the morning he made an address in the Methodist church; in the afternoon at the Baptist church; and at night at the Methodist church, the Baptist congregation holding no service at night on account of Mr. Harley's address. Mr. Harley is a strong and convincing speaker, and he has the facts as to the liquor business in detail. He made fine addresses at each service, and his argument for prohibition was about the best we have ever heard. There is no doubt but that he won many converts for prohibition. Bitten by Mad Dog. , Tuesday afternoon Chief of Police 9. A. Hand was out with a subscription list to raise money to defray the expenses of Mr. Bullin Wilson to the Pasteur Institute at Atlanta. Mr. Wilson is a cotton mm operative, aim cannot afford the expense of the trip. He was bitten by a puppy last Saturday night, and-it is supposed the dog was mad. Some time ago a strange dog bit some puppies belonging to Mr. Zeigler Hutto, and one of these he gave to Mr. Wilson. Last Saturday night Mr. Wilson had the dog in his lap playing with it when it bit him on the finger. It had been acting strangely for several days, having something like fits, but no attention was paid to it nor to the bit? until Sunday, when it died. Then its strange actions for the past few days were recalled, and Mr. Wilson began to get uneasy because of the dog having bitten him. He left for Atlanta Tuesday night. County Expenses. Mr. H. D. Free has made out an estimate of county expenses for the ensuing year for the guidance of our legislative delegation in fixing the tax levy. The statement shows that the total expenses of the county for last year were a little more than $19,000, and the estimate for expenses this year is $19,035.00, and of this amount $10,895.00 must be raised by taxation. The taxable property of the county is $2,901,740, and three mills will raise $8,705.22. There was a surplus of over $6,000 on hand last July when the anual settlement was made, but this surplus grows less each year. Killed by Prominent Farmer. Reidsville, Ga., Jan. 18.?Asa Roundtree, a well known citizen, was shot and instantly killed this morning by George Andrews, one of the most prominent and wealthy planters of Tattnall county. The men, it is stated, engaged in a controversy over an alleged account Andrews held against Roundtree. Hot words led to a personal encounter, following which Roundtree procured a shotgun and began firing at Andrews, who barricaded himself behind a mule. The first shot fired by Roundtree struck the mule. Andrews drew his pistol and shot Roundtree, killing him instantly. Andrews owns valuable farming lands west of the Ohoopee river, where he resides. The attack made upon the planter was unprovoked, it is stated.. Andrews at yutc sumvuuviv.u ?w the sheriff here. The animal behind which Andrews shielded himself was killed. It was the property of Roundtree. Want Cotton Clothes Worn. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 18.?At a largely attended meeting of the Georgia division of the National Farmers Educational and Cooperative union, which opened here to-day, a resolution was adopted calling upon all members of the national organization to wear a uniform suit of cottor clothing while at work on the farm A committee will take'the matter ir hand for the purpose of perfecting the scheme. The union, it is stated has a membership of 3,000,000. Following an address by J. p Campbell of the United States depart ment of agriculture on the agricul tural demonstration being done b: the government under the directioi of Dr. S. A. Knapp, resolutions wer< adopted highly commendatory of Dr Knapp's work. A committee was ap pointed to consider the plan of * central warehouse as proposed at th< New Orleans meeting.

A good attendance of the ladies of the church greeted her, anc it was decided to undertake the organization of a Sunbeam Band. Mrs Lewis and Miss Pearle Counts were appointed to take the matter in hand A meetlhg for organization will be held at the church Friday afternoon. The pastor preached Sundaj morning from the Master's word: "Ye are the salt of the earth." He said that as salt must be applied and rubbed in to overcome the tendencj to decay in meat, so Christ meant that his disciples should make theii influence felt in restraining and checking the tendencies toward moral corruption of the world. Next Sunday night the pastor will take up again his series of sermons on the future state, beyond death. His theme Sunday night will be: "The final state of the wicked." Rev. J. L. Harley, Supt. of the Anti-Saloon League, brought Qui some startling facts and did some good work for civic righteousness. II is to be hoped that our fair State will soon wash its hands of the liquoi business. If men will have liquoi and get drunk, let them do it as thej gamble and steal: under the ban ol law instead of by its protection. Barnwell Baptist Association.

May Buy Seaboard. 7 Washington, Jan. 18.?It is being breathed about here to-day that th( trip of Mr. E. H. Harriman, America's Napoleon of transportation, tc the South at this time has to do witt his efforts to get possession of the Seaboard Air Line. Mr. Harriman was in Washingtor yesterday, spending several minutef to hours here, closeted in his room ai the hotel. Then as mysteriously h< departed and report comes from Au gusta this afternoon that he is ex pected there. Mr. Harriman is ? mysterious man at.times. The last time he was in Washing ton he told me he came to show hii 10-year-old boy, Roland, the city, anc that Roland was especially interest ed in the animal heads on the wallf of the president's private apartmem at the White House. That was jus prior to Roland's father's dramatii initiation into the Ananias club, anc this time Roland did not take a lool at the fascinating animal heads. Mr Harriman now owns in his own nam< a little over $154,1)00,000 worth o stock in the big railroads of thii country, nearly 10 times as much ai any other man and this does not in elude holdings in numerous subsid iary railroads. He does not come t< Washington for nothing, and he dOGl not go South for his health. He con trols the Illinois Central railroad ii l the Middle West. The Illinois Central's chief compet , itor is the Louisville & Nashville * which is managed by the same groui I as the Atlantic Coast Line. It woul< be an advantage for the Illinois Cen i tral to have in the Southeast the Sea . board Air Line, which is the chie l competitor of the Atlantic Coas r, Line. The Seaboard is now in th , hands of receivers, but the recen statement of its earnings give th . impression that it is not in such poo - condition as has been reported. It - stock has recently had a slight rise i r consequence. 1 ^ It makes you mad if you think yo . owe your merchant $7.00 and find i - is $12.00. Under our McCaskey syt i tern, when you think it is $7.0( 3 $7.05 is just a nickle too much. D. A. KINARD & CO.

State News Boiled Down for Quick' I leading? 1 'a: agraphs About ' Men and Happenings. r Advices from Columbia are to the effect that Judges Hydrick and r Watts seem to have the lead for asr sociate justice, while the race for I chief justice seems to be between . Judges Jones and Gary. Ex-Judge J. F. Izlar, who has been t president of the Bank of Orangeburg t for a number of years, has resigned > on account of his failing health, and - Mr. W. N. Scoville has been elected i president, with Dr. J. G. Wannal maker vice president. President F. N. K. Bailey, of the I S. C. C. I. at Edgefield, has been elect ed president of the Orangeburg Col; legiate Institute, and will take charge 't of same next summer, or rather at the close of the present session. We f do not suppose that thsi means he will leave Edgefield, but that he will , manage both institutions. Mr. Peterson, who has been in charge of the r O. C. I. for the last few years, it is . said, will go to the up-country and . take charge of a school to be organic ized. I Legislative Doings. [ Columbia, S. C., Jan. 15.?The j introduction of prohibition bills in both houses of the general assembly and the arrangement for the inauguration of Gov. Martin F. Ansel, which . will occur at 1 p. m., Jan. 20, are j perhaps the most interesting matters J considered during the week, after the permanent organization of both [ branches. As usual, a large number of new . bills have been introduced in each r house, but as yet these have had very little consideration. The question of the kind of water that is to be drunk by the memi bers caused probably more debate than any other subject yet brought L up. [ Senator Carlisle, of Spartanburg, of course, thought that owing to the 1 well known good qualities of Glenn Springs water the sergeant-at-arms , should be instructed to purchase a supply of it, while Senator Weston s regarded "Columbia water" as good as the best, which could be had at ! very little cost. Senator Sullivan, of Anderson, suggested that the health! giving qualities of "Williamston water" and that a liberal supply could ' be had without cost. The same subject was given much consideration in the house, Representative Olin Saw-, yer rising to a question of personal privilege to speak on it. Finally, both houses decided that Columbia water was gooa euuugu and that ,fbrand" was officially adopted. For the office of chief justice to . succeed the Hon. Y. J. Pope, resign1 ed, the race seems to have narrowed down to Associate Justices Jones and Gary. The race for associate justice promises to be interesting. Names of j Circuit Justices Richard C. Watts and ' D. E. Hydrick are mentioned oftenest for this place. Others spoken of 1 are: C, M. Eflrd, Lexington; George Johnstone, Newberry; W. St. Julien Jervey, Charleston; ex-Gov. John C. Sheppard, Edgefield; Gov. M. F. An sel, T. P. Cothran, Greenville; J. P. . Carey, Pickens; Circuit Judges Gage 1 and Memminger. It Is not yet known when the elections will take place. In the Senate. It required but one hour for the business of the senate on Thursday, ' including the reading; of the gover-J nor's message, the passage of several resolutions and the introduction of a number of bills. *" nfParail a rmnlll. senator ncsiuu uu?ivu *> .? tion providing for an appropriation of $300 to erect a memorial in Blanford church, at Petersburg, Va.,i ! to commemorate the memory of South Carolinians who fell there.

Brooks and F. M. Farr. 1 Regarding the time for the election 5 of a United States senator to succeed the Hon. Frank B. Gary, whose 1 term expires March 4, next, a resolu3 tjon tQ fix the time was referred to t the judiciary committee. It is likely i that Jan. 26 will be the date. On Saturday the senate held a very " brief session, but refused to adjourn 1 until Wednesday, as the house agreed to do, and will convene Monday " morning at the usual time. 3 The senate committee on finance 1 made a favorable report, with " amendments, on the bill providing 3 for increased salaries for State offi? c cers. The amendments yruvmc. t Governor, $4,000; comptroller gen3 eral, $2,200; assistant clerk to comp* troller general, $1,250; superintendc ent of education, $2,250; assistant adjutant general, $1,250; attorney 5 general, $2,250. f Senator Otts, of Cherokee, offered 3 the prohibition bill in the senate, 3 while the measure in the house is " being fathered by Richards, M. L. " Smith, and C. A. Smith. These gen3 ciemen are regarded as the leaders 3 for this measure. 2 In the House. On Saturday the governor sent to - the assembly three special messages !? conveying the resignations of Chief P Justice Y. J. Pope, L. A. Sease as ^ trustee of Clemson College, and " Arthur Kibler as trustee of the State - Colored College at Orangeburg. f After a brief session Saturday t morning the house adjourned until e Wednesday noon. t Besides the introduction of a nume ber .of new bills little else was acr complished in the house, s n .
