A young friend off at college
writes us as follows: "I want to
tell you how much I, enjoy reading
fe- *' your paper. I see a great many
different county papers up here, and
I think-yours stands up among thebest.
The lady I board with thinks
it is one of the best county papers
she has ever read. I don't think I
could do without it." For which
: ' kind words we thank him.
If you want a fine piano way bel
low its real value, send in your bid

bition at The Herald Book Store,
where prospective bidders can ex
. amine it and also leave their bid

Through the efforts of Hon. S. G.
Mayfield, the young white man, Herbert
Boyles, who was convicted here
' a few years ago of burglary and larceny,
has been pardoned by Governor
Ansel, or rather he has been
paroled. He has been given his liberty
and as long as he conducts himself
properly, the parole stands. In
this case executive clemency was
wise, for the young man was led
away by bad influences and was only
the tool of others. Governor Ansel
did exactly right to pardon him.

Great Victories for the Buick.
The recently organized Buick
racing team, headed by Lewis
Strang and Bobby Burman, has been
'winning more than its share of victories
during the past six weeks.
1 Following closely Burman's 100mile
track championship title, won
in 102 minutes, on the New Orleans
circular track with a stock car,
Strang captured two events at Day;tona
Beach, each at a distance of 100
miles. In one of the races Strang
covered the distance in 90 minutes
with a $1,750 stock Buick.

Strang's time is several minutes under
the previous world's records for
stock cars.
In the Atlanta, Ga~, hill climb,
Strang won the event for cars selling
$3,000 and* Under with his$l,750
Buick, doing the mile climb of a
steep grade in 58 3-5 seconds and

Temperance Union.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will. hold its regular
monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon,
April 27, at 4:30 o'clock in the Sunday-school
room of the Methodist
church.
Don't forget the coming of Georgia's
honored president of the W. C.
T. U. Mrs. Armor is second only to
Francis E. Willard, therefore a rare
treat is in store for all who will attend
her lecture Friday night at the
Methodist church. There will be
special music for the occasion.
Death of Mrs. Kirkl&nd.
Mrs. Harriet Kirkland, mother of
Mr. W. G. Kirkland, of this city, died
at the home of her son on Carlisle
street Tuesday morning of this week
at about four o'clock. She was the
grandmother of Mr. Laurie P. McMillan,
also of this city.
Mrs. Kirkland had been sick for
only a little more than a week, but
on account of her advanced age and
general debility she had no strength
to resist disease. She had been in
Bamberg only a few weeks, having
come here to spend a while with her
son's family. Mrs. Kirkland was
seventy-seven years old, and had
been a widow for a number of years.
She was born in the Colston section,
and lived there all her life. She was
the mother of Messrs. W. G., R. F.,
J. D., and R. O. Kirkland, and leaves
j a number of grand children and other
relatives.
The burial took place at Pleasant
Hill church, near Ehrhardt, Tuesday
afternoon, the services being conducted
by Rev. Mr. Ariail, pastor of
the Ehrhardt circuit. Although Mrs.
Kirkland had reached a ripe old age,
her death was none the less sad, and
many hearts are made to sorrow because
she has been taken away.
Rev. Richard Carroll.
Rev. Richard Carroll, of Columbia,
- ? Cim/loTr nicrVjf a?H
W ilS ILL UdlUUCi g, uuuuaj ui^uv uuu
Monday morning. He preached at
the colored Baptist church Sunday
night, and gave the members of that
church some good advice in reference
to the recent troubles there.
Richard Carroll is really one negro
leader who is trying to work out the
salvation of the negro along correct
lines, but he is not popular with the
negroes because he tells them of
their faults. In speech and conduct
Carroll is always consistent, and this
can be said of few negroes who claim
to be leaders oftf' ?ir race. If there
were more preac~~rs like Carroll, the
negroes in this country would be a
lot better off.

BAMBERG'S FIRST HANGING.
Willie Carter to Pay Death Penalty
Friday cf Next Week.
It begins to look like Bamberg
county will have a legal execution,
the first since the county has been
organized. At the March term of
court Willie Carter, a negro, was
tried for murder and sentenced by
Judge Watts to be hanged on Friday,
April 30th. Carter's crime was a
most atrocious one. He stabbed a
negro woman to death, jealousy being
the cause, although he had a
wife. However, it appeared that he
had been intimate with the woman
and objected to other men visiting
her, so he went to her house and
stabbed her in a number of places,
all of the cuts being horrible wounds.
There is not likely to be an appeal
to executive clemency, and we doubt
very much if Governor Ansel would
heed such an appeal were it made to
him. Preparations for the execution
of Carter are going on, the gallows
having been erected by Mr. D. J.
Delk. The hanging will take place
in the jail, and it will be private.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Good congregations attended both
morning and evening services last
Sunday.
The pastor's theme in the morning
was: What excuses will we render
at the judgment for not doing our
part toward evangelizing the world?
After showing conclusively that
Christ would have A judgment reckoning
with his servants in regard to
the trusts he left them, and that
evangelizing the world was the great
trust left them, he then examined in
the light of the judgment the common
excuses men make for their attitude,
and said if we couldn't afford
to render these to Christ in the final
reckoning we had better not make
them now.
At the evening service he conclud
ed the Bible studies on divine testings,
the special studies being the
trial of Job, the temptations of
Christ, and the lifting of Peter.
There was a good attendance at
Sunday-school. Of course Superintendent
Rentz was missed, he having
gone to visit his aged parents. As
he is so faithful he was excusable
under the circumstances, and Bro.
David G. Felder filled his place with
ease and dignity.
The W. M. S. held their monthly
meeting last Wednesday and took decided
steps to raise the necessary
funds for the support of a Bible woman
on the foreign field.
The B. Y. P. U. will have a mis- I
sionary program this week and
round up their special collection for
missions.
The Sunbeam Band had their regular
meeting last Friday, and was
good, as usual. Miss Lewis and her
helpers are to be congratulated on
tiae good work they are doing with ;
the children. . .
Next Sunday rounds out six ,
months, half of the pastoral year.
The record will have been made out .
of the work before our Lord the
great head of the church. As pastor .
and people have we done our best? :
How will the record stand with each
nna r\f no?

Next Sunday will be the regular
conference .day. Let us hear it in mind.
We want to consider a time
for having protracted. meeting,

Teachers Elected. !
At a meeting of the board of trus
tees of the Bamberg graded-high
school, held last Saturday afternoon,
Mr. E. Paul Allen, who has 1
successfully managed the school for '
the past year, was re-elected principal.
Mr. Allen has done a good work
here, and we feel sure his re-election
will meet with the unanimous ap- I
proval of the patrons. All the teach- 1
ers of the school were also re-elected,
and the salaries of teachers was increased.
Those who teach in the i
high school department next year j
will receive $50 a month and the
grammar school teachers will receive
$45 a month. Another grade was
also added to the high school department,
which will raise the
standard of the school materially.
Children can now be kept at home
another year and not go off to college
so young, which is well.
Winthrop College.

this year is an unusually large one.
No Holiday Given.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:
There appeared in your paper of last
week a statement to the effect that
the Carlisle Fitting School gave
holiday for Easter from Thursday
to the following Tuesday. I beg to
say that we gave no holiday except
the regular weekly Monday holiday,
and that all classes met regularly.
Very truly,
W. S. HOGAN.
Bamberg, S. C., April 20, 1909.
S. S. CONVENTION NEXT WEEK.
Indications Are that Good Attendance
will be Present.
Beginning next Tuesday morning.
Aprii 27th, nrst annual convention
or ba...,to county Sunaa;.schoois
will in Bamber&.
The session >.?be held at Trinity
Methodist c-Lurca, and will be in tut
mornings, aiternoons, and evenings.
It is expected that all delegates wn.
arrive in time for the first session,
which is 10:30 o'clock, so that the
convention can get down to work at
once. Every session will be full of
good things. A committee from the
local churches has been around during
the past week soliciting homes,
and it was gratifying that a number
volunteered without being asked,
and in consequence there are plentj
oi homes. But the number of delegates
is expected to reach up to the
high water mark in county conventions
and the committee hopes that
every home will be needed. The'
Sunday school superintendents
throughout the county have begun
to show interest in the movement to
organize Bamberg county into an as
sociation county. A number nave
not responded ,but it is not too late
even now. Let every school which
has not done so already, elect delegates
next Sunday and if possible
forward the names so that they will
reach here by Monday afternoon; if
this is not possible, the delegates
should come anyway; there will be
homes prbvided for all who attend.
Each school should insist on its superintendent
being present at Bamberg.
The program has been voted to be
the best gotten out by any county
for a first convention, so says Mr. J.
M. Way, the general secretary. Mr.
Way is a man who knows what he is
talking about. This will be clearly
proven when he meets you face to
face next week. Mr. Frank F. Whilden
is the musical leader in two
large Sunday-schools in Columbia,
and is a leader of a men's Bible class
in that city. He can sing and make
others sing. He can also make very
practical applications of practical
subjects. An interesting feature of
the program will be the paper of
Miss Whilden on the cradle roll.
A letter was received last week
from Miss Steele, of Rock Hill, who
is the secretary of the secretary's association,
and she says that a banner
will be awarded at Rock Hill when the
State convention meets in that city ;
inl910, tor the best report of statistics.
What about Bamberg? . We
have a small, compact county, can
we not have a similar organization?
At least we can have the compact
and thoroughly organized part, we
are not particular about the small
part, in fact we had rather not have
it small. Let's have a big organization
in a small county.
For the information of delegates
we will say that in case they arrive
Monday night, they will go to Mr.
W. D. Rhoad's store, 'Mr. Rhoad be
committee. Those who come on
trains will be met at the depot. Any
who come through the country on
Tuesday morning or after will go direct
to the church.
In another column will be found
Borne of the aims and accomplishments
of the organized SundayBchool
movement, of which this convention
purposes to form a part. It
will be well for all to read those
points and familiarize themselves
with what the movement stands for.
The following are the names of
the superintendents which have been
received, and it is hoped that any
name not appearing will be sent to
the undersigned without delay, it
being desired that every superintendent's
name be in hand, before
the convention meets: Dr. J. R. McCormack,
D. O. Hunter, J. D. Carter,
G. W. Folk, J. B. Guess, J. E. Ehr- (
hardt, L. J. Hartzog, Benjamin

Negro Accidentally Shot.
Monday of last week the negroes
of town had a picnic at the river,
and during the day one of the party,
Edward Lebby, was accidentally shot
by Mr. Parker Jennings. Mr. D. W.
Phillips and Mr. Jennings were at
the river, some distance from the picnic
party, and Lebby was in the
woods some distance away, at least
250 yards, Mr. Jennings says, when
he fired a small parlor rifle at a bird.
Soon after he shot, Lebby came out
of the woods and seeing that he was
bleeding, Mr. Jennings inquired and
found that the little bullet had
struck Lebby in the right ear and
gone on down his neck and into the
shoulder. The negro was at once
brought to town by Mr. Phillips in
his buggy, and his wound attended
to, but it was found that he was not
hurt much, although the bullet could
not be found and extracted. He went (
on to work next day, but the physician
says had the bullet struck him
an inch to either side it would have
miiea mm. i^eooy is irom uemuaits.,
and has been working here for some
time as a brick mason.
The wonder is that the little
rifle should have carried so far. Lebby
Was so far from Mr. Jennings that
he did not hear the report of the
rifle, and when he was first shot, did
not know what was the matter. Of
course Mr. Jennings did not know
that Lebby was anywhere around,
and he regrets the occurrence very
much.
Acquitted of Murder.
Whiteville, N. C., April 20.?Cleveland
Russ, on trial since Thursday of
last week, was acquitted this afternoon
in the superior court here of
the murder of Jerry Bigford, a young
farmer and storekeeper, who was
found dead in his home on the morning
of March 24 last.
The jury deliberated but a short
time. Jealousy was assigned as the
motive for the crime in that it was
alleged Bigford was engaged to have
married a Miss Squires of Bladen
county, for whose hand the prisoner
was a rival suitor.

Card of Thanks.
I appreciate very much the compliment
paid me by my friends in
suggesting my name as one of the
aldermen for the town of Bamberg,
but my work is such that I could
not serve if elected; and I therefore
ask that my name not be considered

Picnic at Clear Pond School.
Clear Pond school will close next
Saturday, the 24th instant. The

ably more than one hundred pages
of brief, besides doing a lot of other
work. This would have been impos- "'-g
