say it, The Bamberg Herald, the
book store, and the job office in connection
is one of the biggest advertisements
Bamberg has.

be superintendent of the oil mill here

error, it is printed 39 cents a yard.

Bamberg's Progressive Farmers.
The farmers around Bamberg are
diversifying their crops more and
more each year. Last year Messrs.
C. J. S. Brooker, C. R. Brabham,
and Henry F. Bamberg put out a
number of acres in asparagus, and
Messrs. Brooker and Brabham are
shipping some this year, for which
they received good prices. In addition
to this, Mr. Brooker has a large
acreage in fine plums, and last year
he shipped a quantity of crates, for
which he received good prices. G. j
Frank Bamberg is also putting out!
several acres in asparagus this year. I
A. M. Brabham. C. R. Brabham, C.
B. Free. .J. \V. Price. H. C. Folk, and
others are planting cucumbers, Irish
potatoes, and beans this year. In
this connection, we want to remind
our farmers to let us know what
they are doing along the line of progressive
farming, for we want to let
people elsewhere know what Bamberg's
farmers are doing.

were in a uuggj* lugnuci, auu
young men driving a team of horses,
drove up rapidly behind their buggy
and attempted to pass. This frightened
the mule driven by the ladies,
! and the animal dashed off despite
j their best efforts to stop it. After
j running a short distance the mule
j ran into a tree, throwing both ladies
out and injuring them, Mrs. O'Neal
being seriously hurt. The buggy
was demolished. Miss Rush received
several ugly cuts about the face and
head and being bruised badly as weU,
but it is said that she is getting along
nicely. Mrs. O'Neal was injured internally,
and she has been in serious
condition since the accident. However,
the latest report from her is
that she is thought to be improving,
and it is hoped she will recover.
City Council Meeting.
Tuesday afternoon at six o'clock
the retiring city council heljl their
last meeting. Mayor Hair and Aldermen
Copeland, Free, Cooner, Wyman
and Brabham being present. i
The bonds for* the water works
had been received the day before and
oio-noH nn hv the niavor and 1
? yi t Ol^UVU v*Jf wV
clerk and treasurer.
A number of bills for various 1
items, were paid, including salaries, 1
street work, etc.
. The matter of damages to the wall '
of store of C. R. Brabham came up, 1
and council decided to pay $250.00 ]
for this damage, this being the 1
amount of the claim. Mr. Brabham's
wall was badly damaged in
pushing down the wall of the* burned
town hall.
A claim for legal services from J.
A. Wyman, Esq., extending over a *
period of two years or more, was also ]
ordered paid.
The return of managers of city ,
election was presented.
This concluded the business of*the
old council, and then Mayor Hair <
swore in Mayor J. A. Wyman and <
Aldermen J. D. Copeland, Jr., M. W. ,
Brabham, J. M. Grimes. E. Dickin
son, and K. L>. Kisner. Aiaerinau u.
J. Delk was absent and could not be 1
sworn in. I
The members of the board of pub- ,
lie works were present and presented
to council the water works matter,
stating to the body through their i
chairman. Mr. Jno. H. Cope, that the (
$7,000 issue of bonds was not sufficient
to erect a tank, and asking that
council endeavor to procure an ad- 1
ditional amount sufficient to erect a ?
tank. The bond issue is $7,000, and <
the contract for fire pumps, piping, 1
hydrants, etc.. will cost practically
$5,000. The board has also purchas- J
ed 1.000 feet of fire hose, which will
cost practically $1,000 more, leaving i
$1,000 to go towards paying for the l
tower and tank, wells, etc. The
tank and tower alone will cost about 1
$4.00o or more, and unless the town i
goes ahead and erects The tank, the i
money spent on pumps and piping ,
will be too much of an expenditure .
to give us fire protection only at 1
night and no reduction in insurance ?
rates. However, with the tank and j
a volunteer fire department, there ,
will be a big reduction in insurance
rates. Council took the matter under
advisement. The reason the
board was taking up this matter of a
tank at this time is that the oil
mill wants to lay an eight inch pipe ,
down Railroad avenue (at the ex- \
pense of the mill) in order to get fire j
protection for the mill property, and (
this will give the town a long line of
pipe on which hydrants can be set (
and the property on both sides of
Railroad avenue as well as nearby
streets can be protected, but the
manager of the mill wants to know :
about the tank now, so that he can
make arrangements accordingly.
The new council organized by the
election of J. D. Copeland. Jr., as
mayor pro tern; M. W. Brabham,
clerk and treasurer; and E. Dickin- '
son, hall manager. The members of
the street committee are J. M.
Grimes, R. L. Risher, and D. J. Delk.
They will elect their own chairman,
and it is settled that Mr. Grimes will
be the chairman. He will serve
without compensation, council deciding
not to continue the salary of
$200 a year paid to the street commissioner
for the past two years*
The matter of electing day and
night policemen will come up at a
later meeting, to be held some time
this month.
A committee was appointed to
check up the books of the retiring
| clerk and treasurer. The new coun|
cil will hold another meeting this
j week.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Good congregations attended both
morning and evening services last
Sunday. The Sunday-school was up
to the high water mark also.
The pastor's theme at the morning
service was. "Faithfulness the crowning
virtue of the Christian life." He
said that public opinion often put
other things, as success, culture, brilliancy
and broadness above it. but
Christ never. But in recognizing it
as the crown prince among the
virtues we must remember that the
other virtues are his cabinet officers,
and have their impress on his administration.
Otherwise our faithfulness
might become intolerant and bigoted.
Am I faithful to piy Lord, to his
church and its work? Will he say to
me. "Well done?"
The pastor began a series of night
sermons on the Apostle Paul Sunday
night.
The music is always good, but it
seemed especially so last Sunday.
The pastor went over to Barnwell
Monday to the pastors' conference.
We all have learned with regret
of the accident which happened to
Sister O'Neal, sister-in-law to Deacon
J. T. O'Neal, on Memorial day. It is
hoped she will soon recover.
Brethren J. T. O'Neal. Dr. J. B.
Black, and John Simmons have been
appointed as a prudential committee
for this year. And Bro. F. W. Free
and Sisters S. H. Counts and D. F.
Hooton as committee on improvement
and repairs of church property.
What excuse can I render to my
Lord for not attending church services?
Sister Kirkland. living near the
public school building, has been quite
ill, but is steadily improving.

This is to notify my white'friends

Great Victories for the liiiick.
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.
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 Daytona
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.
George DeWitt, the Jacksonville
amateur, driving his $1,000 Buick,
also won two 100-mile races at Daytona,
finishing with the little Buick
in 99 minutes. Both DeWitt's and
Strang's time is several minues under
the previous world's record for
stock cars.
