.We would appreciate it very much
if our friends would use our 'phone
oftener in giving us news items.
Often it happens that we miss an
item of news which some one knew
and did not tell us. It is impossible
for us to be business manager, editor,
printer, and various other things and
yet known everywhere that goes on.

Read what Dr. Talmage says about
f-Jv . Ralph Bingham:
After the death of their father
some years ago, Misses Don Ella and
- Maggie Rice moved to Sumter to live,
but they concluded there was no
place like Bamberg county and returned
to Denmark. Now they have
bought the handsome residence in
c,; ; : Denmark of Mrs. E. R. LaFitte, and
will occupy it. We understand the
price paid was $5,000.

marriage of Mr. L. L. Chartrand. He
g?.. f - will be married to Mrs. Annie C. Tyler,
at North, on Wednesday evening,
May 5th. Mr. Chartrand is wellknown
and has friends in Bamberg,
who extend congratulations. Mr.
Chartrand is now living at North,
where he is proprietor of the North
hotel.
Yes, its worth a trip from Branchville,
Denmark or Cope to hear Bing* ,

For some time past the telephone
service in Bamberg has been very
poor, many of the 'phones being out
of working order. The subscribers
are complaining seriously, and steps
are being taken to secure better service
or 'phones will be taken out.
The poor service is not the fault of
y central, as the 'phones themselves
are out of shape, and the operator
cannot help this.
Ralph Bingham ought to have the
largest audience that has assembled
in Bamberg this season.
Easter services at the Methodistchurch
were enjoyed by a good concree-ntiniv
There was RDecial music
rendered for the occasion, and Rev.

Mr. Herbert has been discussing
the last days of Jesus?the last
supper?the scene in the garden
of Gethsemane?the trial and crucifixion,
and last Sunday he concluded
the series with a sermon on the resurrection.
When everybody else is talking
about Bingham, you'll be sorry if
you didn't hear him. Tickets at Peoples

Mr. Felder Hurt.
Mr. J. D. Felder was painfully
bruised last Thursday by being
thrown from his buggy. He was
coming home from his farm, when
his horse shied and Mr. Felder hurriedly
pulled the wrong rein, which
caused the horse to turn sharply and
upset the buggy, throwing Mr. Felder
out in a ditch in which there was
several feet of water. The horse got
away and came on into town, and a
buggy was sent for Mr. Felder. Although
painfully hurt, he was walking
in when the buggy met him. He
was confined to his home for a few
days, but is now about all right,
again, which will be pleasant news
to his many friends.

Sunday-School Convention.
In just two weeks the County Sunriav-Snhool
Convention meets in
Bamberg, and the first convention
for all denominations ever held here,
at least in the last fifteen years, will
take place and it promises to be a
great success from every standpoint.
A very strong and active pastor in
the upper State writes as follows:
"The International Sunday-School
Association for South Carolina and
in fact for the world, is the best and
greatest organization for Sundayschool
work in the world. I should
earnestly advise you to join in its efforts
and do your utmost to promote
its success in your county. It enlists
all denominations and leads in
all aggressive work."
Dr. Lewis M. Roper, pastor of the
First Baptist church, of Spartanburg,
is the writer of the above. This is
the view that all denominational

and we are expecting to see great
things at Bamberg's first convention.
Remember the dates, April 27th
and 28th. The first meeting will be
held on Tuesday morning and the
last will take place Wednesday. Mr.
Whilden will be assisted by a large
selected choir. Mr. Way, the general
secretary, will be on hand with a
store of knowledge to be dispensed
out in broken doses to everybody.
The doses will be stimulating, enervating
and exhilarating. Your school
perhaps needs new life. Come to the
convention. Perhaps you have a
thriving school already. In that case
you realize the need for coming to
the convention. So in either case,
the convention will be helpful. Send
the names of delegates to C. W.
Rentz, Bamberg.

Knights of Pythias.
A most interesting meeting of
Bamberg lodge Knights of Pythias
was held Monday evening in the
court house, which is the temporary
meeting place since the town hall
was burned. The rank of Esquire
was conferred on Messrs. H. N. Bellinger,
E. H. Henderson, and Eugene
Rowell, and it goes without saying
that they will long remember the
ceremonies.
L. B. Fowler and Dr. J. B. Black
were elected as representatives to
to the grand lodge, which meets
in Charleston next month, with J. F.
Carter and H. C. Folk as alternates.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The pastor preached on the resurrection
of Christ Sunday morning,
showing it to be the crowning doctrine
of the gospel. At night on Divine
Testings, as illustrated by commanding
Abraham to offer up Isaac,
test to Moses as leader of Israel, and
Christ's test of the Syro-Phoenician
woman. The subject will be continued
next Sunday night.
Our choir, as usual, rendered some
appropriate special music well.
The great thought before us this
month is home and foreign missions.
Our boards are threatened
with debt. Shall any of us think
that it is none of my business? If
you are a disciple of Christ it is just
as much your business as any other.
The command of the Lord is to us all
to go and make disciples of the nations.
That means if we do not go to
help others go. One-fourth of our
churches in South Carolina last year
gave nothing to world-wide missions.
Will there be any of our members
this year that will fail to come to the
help of the Lord?
Dr. A. C. Dixon says that men are
divided into two classes; those who
withstand God, and those who stand
with him. Which side are you on in
this struggle?
' A brother told me a story the other
day of an old brother who was
boasting of'his long service in his
church. He said: "I have been in
tne narness ior so many years. a
brother nearby remarked: "Yes, but
you have never worn out any part
of it except the back-straps." Now,
the back-straps have their occasional
practical use, but the traces are the
most practically' useful. It is no
credit to us to wear out the backstraps,
pulling back against every
advance movement of the kingdom;
but it is to wear out the traces. Let
us all pull hard and all together
while the Holy Spirit is saying in the
word and the world's providential indications
"Go forward."
Bro. Ernest Free was received
into the church by letter Sunday
morning, and Bro. Grigsby Chandler
was dismissed by letter to unite with
the Baptist church at Florence,
where he is now located.
Civic Association.
Never in the history of time has
these been such enthusiasm shown
ILL Lilts city ucauuiui muiciuv/ui, ua
now. From the largest cities to the
tiniest hamlets and factory towns,
this wave of progress and of aesthetic
advancement keeps rolling on
and on.
And the women of Bamberg, who
appreciate the value of health and
of beauty in all its forms, have resolved
not to let Bamberg lag behind.
With a little work and very
little expense on the part of every
citizen, what a wonderful transformation
might be wrought in our
town!
Spring is the time of promise, the
time when we should put forth every
effort towards making Bamberg a
place of artistic homes, embowered
in Vioontifni ornrdona and nrrrhards
iU UVUU VAX UA QM* MWMM
of surpassing luxuriance.
The chrysanthemum has become
one of the most extensively cultivated
and petted of flowers, arid a
garden of these gorgeous beauties is
a sight worth going far to see. To
foster this admirable flower spirit,
the ladies of the Civic League propose
holding a chrysanthemum
show next fall. So every member is
earnestly besought to cultivate at
least a few of these beautiful flowers,
either in pots or in their gardens
and let each one endeavor to
outvie her neighbor in the size and
brilliance of her blooms. If this
spirit of rivalry can be incited in
the hearts of the ladies, a show second
to none in the State will be the
result.
Another laudable undertaking
which the League has on foot is the
beautifying of the grounds around
the three respective churches. An
energetic and capable committee has
been appointed to have this done
and very soon tbiir plans will be
perfected and work begun.
Municipal Ticket.
I Editor The Bamberg Herald: The
following gentlemen are respectfully
suggested for the voters to select a
ticket of six aldermen to be voted
for at the coming municipal election,
and the writer, after conferring with
numerous citizens, finds a very
strong sentiment against paying any
salary to any elective officer except
clerk and treasurer and mayor. It
will therefore be expected that the
members of the board of public
works and the street commissioner
serve the city without remuneration,
and I am sure that there is sufficient
city pride represented in the gentlemen
suggested below to carry out
the wishes of many tax payers.
ONE OF THEM.

Jno. Cooner. M. W. Brabham, Edgar
Dickinson, J. D. Copeland, Jr., Dan.

Another Carload for Rizer.
C. F. Rizer, at Olar, writes us that
his buyer is in the market this week
selecting a load of horses and mules.
In this load they will have four very
fancy driving horses and several extra
nice mules. He expects to receive
this load about the 20th instant,
and it will pay all prospective
buyers to see his horses and mules
next week before buying. He has
the quality, the price and terms to
suit purchasers.

RALPH BINGHAM FRIDAY.
An Enjoyable Evening of Song, Story
mrl \ftictrv
Bamberg is looking forward with
keen interest a i i delight to the coming
o; this .i. entertainer, who
will he here an engagement Friday,
April 1.;.. After considerable
effort and several disappointments
the committee has secured this engagement
with Mr. Bingham, and he
comes to us from Atlanta.
Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, in speaking
of iun-makers, said:
"Bless Bingham and all the Apostolic
college of humorists. The man
that makes me laugh is my benefactor.
God bless all skillful punsters.
Their's is a divine mission. They
stir into the acid beverage of life the
saccharine, and make the cup of
earthly existence, which is sometimes
stale, effervesce and bubble. They
placate animosities. They foster
longevity. They st:.: Tollies and absurdities
which all the sermons of
all the pulpits cannot reach."
A Many Sided Entertainer.
"While he is reciting his auditors
feel that is his forte. He steps to
the piano and that piano becomes a
vehicle of humor as well as of harmony,
and you think he misses his
calling when he ties himself to anything
short of music. Especially is
that true when he takes up the
violin, for then he makes you think
of the old masters, as the music sobs
and wails to the magic touch of his
masterly bow. When his program
calls for song you wish he
would sing all the while. Perhaps,
however, this artist is most artistic
with the violin and the recitation, in
both of which he is unexcelled."?
Daily Reporter, Independence, Kan.
"Ralph Bingham has been in Augusta
so often that he owns the town.
He has been for many years one of
the most conspicuous figures on the
American platform, and he has done
more to elevate it than any man who
has ever been South of Mason and
Dixon's line. The people of Augusta
have long since become cordially attached
to him, and they esteem him
as a friend and one of the leading
figures of the American rostrum."?
Walker's Magazine, Augusta, Ga.
Mr. Bingham ought to have a
packed house Friday night, and the
advance sales indicate that he will.
This will be the last attraction of
the season, and its one you can't afford
to miss.
Tickets on sale at Peoples drug
store.
A Bold Thief.
On the heels of the railroad wreck
near Denmark follows the news of
the robbery of Mr. N. G. Evans, of
Edgefield, of $8,000 in currency,
while on a Southern train near the
Coast Line crossing in that town.
This amount of money as well as
other valuable securities was in a
grip, as the story goes, and Mr.
Evans had walked up toward the
front of the coach as the train slowed
up at the crossing, when a burly ne^
gro grabbed tne grip ana attempted
to jump off the train. One of the
train crew attempted to stop the negro
and did hold him for a little
while, but was forced to let go, and
the negro jumped off the train and
escaped in the darkness. The robbery
occurred on the mixed train
from Charleston to Augusta. Whether
the thief knew of the valuable
contents of the grip is not known,
but he made a rich haul.
Famous Fishing Grounds.
Our good friend, D. W. Shealy,
who was formerly a resident of Bamberg,
but who is now living in Wewahitchka,
Fla., sent us an interesting
booklet a few days ago. It contained
views of the famous fishing
grounds of Chipola Lake, near his
home, one of the famous fishing
places in the country. This lake is
visited during the fishing season by
people from all over Georgia and
Florida, and some of the stories of
the amount of fish caught in a few
hours are wonderful, and the really
wonderful part is that they are true.
The lake is a large body of water, being
three miles wide in some places,
and it is a beautiful place. Mr.
Shealy invites us to come down and
help him catch fish, and we wish
very much that we could.
Beautiful Silver Service.
It was our pleasure and privilege a
few days ago to see the bridal present
brought home by Ensign D. Graham
Copeland, U. S. N., to his brother and
sister, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Copeland.
It will be remembered that Ensign
Copeland has just returned from a
trip around the world with the
United States fleet, and at or near the
time cf his brother's marriage he was
in China, where he procured the service,
seeing one of the pieces hammered
out. The set is a handsome
tea set of solid silver, made by hand
by Chinese silversmiths. All the
pieces show that it is hand work, as
one can see the little roughness on
the surface, where the marks of the
hammering are to be noticed. It is
in the dragon design, as are all
Chinese-made articles, and there are
dragons and dragon's heads galore on
every piece, even the sugar tongs being
made to represent the claws of
the dragon.
Aside from the beauty of the service
it was interesting to us to note
the difference in the style of manu
facture of the old world and tne new.
American-made silver ware is always
very heavy?this was light, and was
made of pure silver, without the polishing
and showy effect of ware manufactured
in this country. The case
for the service was well made, dovetailed
together, no screws or nails being
used, but it was not varnished or
plush lined. While the case is well
made and polished as well as lined,
it is not made in the showy American
way, showing that the Chinaman, although
a heathen, appreciates what
[ constitutes real elegance.
Bowling Homestead Burned.
The old homestead of the late Dr.
E. H. Dowling, situated a few miles
from town, was totally destroyed by
fire last Thursday night. It was the
property of Dr. Dowling's widow, but
she is now living in Bamberg. The
house and contents were a total loss.
There was insurance of $1,600 on the
house and furniture.
