Simms and Rice in * regard to the runaway accident in which Mrs. O'Neal was hurt. It was received too late for this issue. It is probable that city council will %put a tax of one dollar a head on all dogs in town the coming year. This is a good way to raise revenue, and we hope council will adopt the plan. Our correspondents seem to be 'f . waking up. That's right. We want one or more live correspondents at every postoffice in the county. . Country news letters make a county paper 111!% , interesting.

PRICE. me neraiu raaue auuiuei icwiu in brief printing last week, as we printed more than forty pages a day for several days. We finished last Saturday the largest brief ever printed in Bamberg county. It made 214 pages, and was printed in the case of W. P. Blume against the Southern ggpSv Railway. Mr. William B. Cauthen has opened a library at the residence of Mr. J. A. Bates, with Mrs. Heidtman in charge as librarian. Will order any jp'/.v' book or magazine called for by patrons. Books and magazines rented at 2c. per day or 50c. per month. The pnblic is invited to call and see . the reading matter on hand. Early C orn. Mr. M. D. Corley, who lived on the Brown place, near Bamberg, last year, but who is now living in Barnwel county, near Hilda, writes us that he has four acres of corn which he planted the last week in February, and about a week ago the corn was S?r silking and tasseling. Can anybody beat this for early corn? %*?&''' 1 Office Moved. The office building at the oil mill |||!/ has been completed, and the office has been moved from the rear room of Bamberg Banking Company to the mill. Work on the seed house, hull house, main building, and meal room jg-v' is progressing rapidly. j Farmers' Telephone Lines. ; - \ Manager F. F. Shores, of the local telephone exchange, is endeavoring to interest our merchants in the matter of rural telephone lines. He is showing them what the merchants of Sparta, Ga., did to encourage the farmers to build telephone lines and install 'phones and thus connect themselves with the entire country. At Sparta the business men called a meeting and raised $500 by subscription, this fund to be used to aid ?* *' the farmers in building telephone lines which would connect with the exchange of that city. The plan fol? ' . J. -f i.1- I? C.._ J v lowea was to pay out 01 mis iuuu one-half the cost of the lines go erected, and thereby the business men showed their sound business judgment, for it made Sparta the trading centre of that country. It would pay the merchants of Bamberg to assist the farmers of this county in installing 'phones, for it would bring additional business here. ?? Brother Calvin Garris. Brother Calvin Garris, of Denmark, was in the railroad wreck which occurred * near Denmark a week or more ago. It is remembered that the wreck was complete and it was a miracle that no one perished. The switch had been unlocked by some miscreant, and the onrushing passenger ran in on the siding, crashing into flat cars. This is the fourth serious wreck Garris has experienced and he yet survives, and I hope his big body and bones may be spared many long years.?E. A. Wilkes in S. C. Advocate. 5f* ' Work on Parsonage. The committee appointed to raise funds for the remodeling of the Methodist parsonage have secured sufficient contributions to warrant commencing the work, although the entire amount necessary has not been subscribed. The committee will meet to-day to award the contract, and the work will be done during the summer. New Advertisements. Mrs. P. W. Sandifer?For Sale. Peoples Bank?Business Success.

Good for Denmark. The citizer. : of Denmark, through Mr. F. V. James, have contributed $35.75 to the monument to the women of the Confederacy. Good for Denmark. This is more in proportion than the town of Bamberg has contributed so far, the amount raised here being $36.50 to date. Many men in Bamberg have done their duty, others have not, and it would not be surprising if Denmark took the lead in this matter. Prizes Cost Something. Some people seem to think that the prizes we are going to give away in our great popularity contest don't cost us anything. True some of them are furnished by our wide-awake and enterprising merchants, but you can rest assured that this contest will cost a lot of., money. But we have the. nerve an<? we are going to do it, and we expect to make The Herald the best known paper in the low country. New Teacher Elected. Miss Haskell, who was recently reelected as teacher in the graded school here for another year, has declined to accept and will go to Oklahoma, where she has a position in a college. There were a number of applicants for the position, and the board of trustees has elected Miss Nellie Bigham, of Chester, who will teach the seventh grade next year. Miss Bigham is an honor graduate of Erskine College, and has been teaching two years. Activity in Real Estate. There is something doing in real esfhte circles in Bamberg. Messrs. S. G. Mayfield, H. M. Graham, and possibly others have purchased the T. S. Rice prbperty, containing twentyfour acres, in the Northern part of town. They have also purchased from Messrs. Thos. Black and W. D. Rhoad the property known as "Varnville," which adjoins the Rice property and contains twelve acres, and also four acres adjoining from Mr. S. D. Guess. This property will be cut up into residence lots, new streets will be opened, and the lots placed on the market in a short time. The town is waking up on the real estate question at last, and these real estate schemes will be of great benefit. Many of our people want to own their homes, and they will now have an opportunity to purchase a lot on easy terms and build on it. New Building and Loan. a Mr. W. A. Klauber was out for a j day last week soliciting shares for the organization of a new building and loan association. He was very successful, and the new organization < will soon be ready for business. The f preliminaries for organizing will be * attended to as rapidly as possible. 2 This new association is a fine c thing. We know of a number of people who want to buy lots and build homes, and as they have taken stock j in the new association, we may ex- j pect a number of residences to be j erected soon. j Bamberg is getting a move on her- j self. Let us all work together for a greater Bamberg. For years The Herald has been dinning it into the ears of Bamberg people that we had ^ a good town, (and we showed our faith in the town by buying town real estate and investing every dol- s j lar we had inside the corporate g limits) and it begins to look at last J I as if all our people agreed with us. That is the right spirit; have faith in the future of your town and work for its growth in every way you can. Home Mission Notes. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Home Mission Society will be held next Tuesday afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock, in the Sunday-school room of the Methodist church. The topic for the month's study is "Call to Service, and what it Means," } and very beautiful are the many and varied articles which appear in "Our Homes," touching this vital subject, some of the titles being: "Saved to Serve," "God's Call," "Wayside Work," and "Opportunities Among Foreigners." I ? "If we knew what heart's are ach- < ing 2 For the comfort we might bring; If we knew what souls are yearn- S ing For the sunshine we might fling; If we knew what feet are weary, Walking pathways roughly laid? f We would quickly hasten forward, f Stretching forth our hands to aid." j Rest Room. The ladies of the Civic Association i have about completed the furnishing of the rest room at Mrs. Garland's ] boarding house, and it is being used ] already by ladies from the country < who are in town and want a quiet 1 place in which to rest and refresh ] themselves. The merchants of the < city have assisted the ladies in fur- ] nishing the room. < \ ; % ... . 'I * * ' V V ; * Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

Were , rou there? Pastor preached last Sunday morning from the annointing of Christ by Mary at the Bethany supper, the theme being, Christ's appreciation of love's offering. At night the theme was, Paul the deal preacher and his ideal theme. The pabtor expressed his apprecia:ion of the present of a ticket to the Southern Baptist convention, which meets this week in Louisville, Ky. He eft last Monday night for same, and ivill be gone about ten days. On this iccount there will be no preaching at .he Baptist church here next Sunday. The hours for the evening service was changed to 8:30 o'clock for the summer. Bro. W. D. Bessinger and wife were received by letter into the church Sunday night. The Waterworks Plan. City council and the board of pubic works held a joint meeting Monlay afternoon to discuss the waterworks problem. It was found that ;he town could not issue any more \An^o on/? + V? flnonoiol nrnhl om /VUUO( UUU VJUV/ UUHUViat J/1 VV1VU wv~ !ore the members of council for the lext two years was discussed fully, [t is certain that taxes will have to )e raised in order to create a sinking und to retire the electric light and vater bonds at their maturity, and ' ;he other expenses of the town are ncreasing. In fixing the levy for lext year council is not figuring on , iny income from the dispensary, so hat in case the dispensary is voted >ut, the town of Bamberg will not >e caught napping, as this loss of evenue will be provided for in the ax levy. So, in case the dispensary s not voted out, the town wil' have a lurplus, which is well. The plan adopted to raise money o buy the tank for the waterworks s to borrow the money for same, :ouncil giving this authority to the >oard of public works by an ordilance duly passed. Council will also Ldopt a license ordinance or msiness tax on the various msinesses, etc., of Bamberg, this noney to be turned over to the board >f public works to repay the loan of >urchase money for tank, or to pay 'or the tank itself in case it can be >ought on time. The board estinates that the tank can be paid for n a few years with the net income rom the electric light plant and the msiness tax. This license or busiless tax will hurt nobody, for the nerchants and business men on the nain street will save more than their >roportion of this tax in insurance jremiums, as the rates will be much ower when the tank is erected. It is now up to some public-spiritfd citizen of Bamberg to loan the >oard the necessary money to purihase this tank. Good interest,on he loan can be earned, and the seiurity is ample. Honor Roll.

The auction sale of lots advertised ! by the American Auction & Realty j Co. came off as advertised last Thurs-; day. The lots sold were a portion of; the G. Frank Bamberg property, near; his handsome - sid-moe, and while: Mr. Bamberg . s .jot anxious to uis-; pose of this : p-uy. he consented ; to part with . 11 order that those j who wanted to own their own homes.. could do so. The auction company had a brass! band here, and at about two o'clock j last Thursday afternoon the band be-1 gun to play on our main business i street, and a crowd quickly gathered, when one of the auctioneers explained the details of the sale. The crowd then lett for the scene of the auction. where the lots had been laid off. numbered, and a plat made. With two auctioneers, the bidding started rapidly, and in a comparatively short time more than fifty lots had been sold, in fact all that were laid off. The lots, however, sold at what we consider reasonable prices, and were bought mostly by people of the town and county. Some people from the country were present and bought lots. It is worthy of note that some who attended the auction with no idea of buying, bought several lots before the sale closed. When the sale was over the company in charge of the sale gave away a bag of gold and silver and a free lot. Kirkland Graham, eldest son of H. M. Graham, Esq., got the free lot. When the money was distributed, Jefferson Riley, son of Mr. W. P. Riley, received $5.00 in gold, as also did Francis Bamberg, son of G. Frank Bamberg. Our people are well satisfied with their dealings with the auction company. They are a clever set of gentlemen, and no doubt they will do further business here. We understand that the company has already arranged to cut up the lots of Mr. H. J. Brabham, on Railroad avenue, near his residence, and they will place this property on the market in a shc-rt time. So look out for another big auction sale. Graded School Teachers. Miss Ruth Holman, of Orangeburg, who has taught in the graded school here the past year, has resigned, to take effect at the end of the present session, although she had been reelected for another year. Her place has not been filled as yet. Miss Nellie Bigham, who was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Haskell, is teaching at Olar this session, where she has given great satisfaction. Miss Ruth Holman, who has resigned her position in the graded school here, had already accepted for another year, and expected to teach in Bamberg, but she was elected to a position in the Orangeburg graded school without being an applicant, and as that city is her home, she asked to be released in order that she might be at home. Under the circumstances the trustees consented to release her. Death of Mr. J. A. Bates. Mr. J. A. Bates died at his residence in this city Monday afternoon about seven o'clock, after an illness of about ten days. While it was known that he was ill, still his serious condition was not generally known until Monday morning. At that time Mr. C. B. Free, Jr., chancellor commander of the local Knights of Pythias lodge, arranged to employ a trained nurse, and Miss Carrie Felder came up from Charleston on the evening train, but death had already occurred. Mr. Bates was a member of the -- - - * u vu Knignts 01 ryinias, uuiums hid membership in Carolina lodge, No. 9, in Charleston, and Mr. Free also communicated with this lodge. The burial took place at Mt. Calvary Baptist church, near . Elko, Tuesday afternoon. The body was carried up on the morning train, being accompanied by the following Knights from this place: C. B. Free, Jr., Norihan Kirsch, J. F. Kilgus, J. J. Smoak, W. M. McCue, and E. H. Henderson. Mr. John McCue, who had been clerking for Mr. Bates, also went up. Mr. Bates was about twenty-nine years old, and leaves a wife and one child. He was born in Barnwell county, near^Elko, and his father and mother and several sisters and brothers survive him. His father and mother and sister were here at the time of his death. He came to Bamberg* the first of January and went into the grocery business, and by his quiet, courteous manner and genial disposition had made many friends in his adopted home. Previous to moving to Bamberg Mr. Bates had been traveling in Florida, representing the Inness Shoe Co., of Charleston. He married Miss Carrere, of Charleston, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Heidtman, lived with him and his family, they occupying the Headmaster's residence of the Carlisle Fitting School. We understand that his grocery business will be continued, and we are glad to know that Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Heidtman will remain as residents of Bamberg. This was an exceedingly sad death. Mr. Bates was a large, fine looking man, the very picture of health, and with apparently many years ahead of Vilnr. If oooma hard that he should be UliU) AW WWMAW MM* VMM. ? _ __ _ snatched away so suddenly, in the very prime of life. The bereaved wife and family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.

Something Doing.' Last week the big auction sale of lots took place; the H. J. Brabham i land was placed in the hands of the auction company to be cut up into lots and sold; Mr. Mayfield and : associates purchased forty acres of valuable property to be cut up inro < lots and placed on the market, and 1 The Bamberg Herald's big popular- > ity contest was started. All this oc- '< curred in three days, and that's go- ing some. Mll < Report from Federation of Women's j Clubs. How I wish it were possible for me 1 to give you an idea of the many stu- pendous forces which the State Fed eration of Women's Clubs have in i fine working order, and the far reaching results obtained through * this organization in this brief sketch, " but as that is impossible will try and condense my ideas into one channel, ideas which will be most helpful to us as homekeepers and to Bamberg } as a town. j First of all, let us learn from s Sumter a lesson of true hospitality. J We were made to lfeel as though we j were honored guests of the city from j the moment we alighted in a down- , pour of rain and were whirled away y to our home until we bade farewell i in the early dawn on Friday morning . to the inmates of this most pleasant , of homes. I would love to confine f my sketch to the true hospitality of ( this charming home, to the lovely j luncheons given up by the Cultus Club and Civic League of Sumter, to j the most delightful drive over the ( beautiful city by the citizens of Sum- ( ter, and to the elegant reception in ( honor of the visiting delegation, but < you will want to hear of other * things. < To give you some idea of the vast 4 proportions of this Federation of < which this was the 11th annual con- \ vention, will give these figures. It 4 is composed of 75 clubs with a mem- < bership of about 5,300 members, and < as the president, Mre. Burney, ex- 4 pressed it: "Is there not something J thrilling and soul-stirring in the thought that our Federation is part of the General Federation?over 800,000 strong?working for what is highest and best in the light of the 20th century civilization?" The first session was a health session, and was confined almost entirely to the fight against the "white , plague." The salient thought of the addresses seemed to be that when it is possible to suppress the filthy and dangerous habit of spitting on the sidewalks, on the floors of buildings and otherwise indiscriminately that the eradication of tuberculosis will be an easy matter. We must also teach the negro better ways of sanita- j tion and enlist his aid in the fight. T-T oral n Hpfl RIITCeSS. 11V/1 Viu ? One of the best ideas it seemed to I. me came from Charleston, that i? the i organization of a Junior Civic I League. The children from 6 to 15 I are banded together with some mem- I ber of the league as manager and I are imbued with feelings of pride in I their native city and made to feel I that they are in part responsible for I the health and cleanliness of the city. I They are taught not only not to I throw down bar.ana peels, papers, I etc., on the streets, but to pick them I up and deposit in the nearest trash I barrel when found on the streets. I Then, too, they are offered prizes for I the best kept flower gardens, increas- I ing their love of the beautiful. Even j the little negroes are offered prizes I and their interest awakened. Such I an organization here would help to I solve the problem of keeping the I streets clean. But first we must fur- I nish garbage cans for Main street or I induce the council to do so. I Next in importance seemed to me I the library department. There are I over 130 odd traveling libraries in I the State, of which 32 are owned by I the Federation. There has been very I few calls for these libraries, reported I the chairman of this department, I Mrs. L. T. Nichols. It seems that I elsewhere, as in Bamberg, there is I very little time given to reading. It | was stated that these libraries were | given free transportation over the I Seaboard and Coast Line, but not I over the Southern. Almost every I club reported a free library as one I of the results of their organizations. I What shall our league do about it? I Some one stated that the woman s i Club is the beginning of all good | things, so what men have not done . and needs to be done, the women will have to do. I Among the many things which we as individual clubs were urged to do were these: To try and arouse pub-l lie opinion in favor of the passage of certain bills in the legislature, the library commission bill, the compulsory education bill and the establish- , ment of free kindergartens in I the public schools; we must I also work on our representatives. I ? We are urged to take the Keystone, which is the official organ of the J Federation, and to send in reports from the clubs at least once each year, also to have extracts from Keystone at each meeting and to keep handbooks of the year's work. J Each club is asked to observe one day each year as reciprocity and li-l brary day combined. j Another day which seems to have been observed by all of the Civic leaguers is "spring cleaning" day. It is not yet too late?let us urge our L mayor to issue a proclamation as J other mayors have done. j Now, after attending this Federa-1 tion, it has made me feel as though we must get to work, pay no attention to adverse criticism, for there are always those who are constitu- t tionally given to throwing cold wa- t ter on everything, and next year, j when the Federation meets in Char- j - ? j - ?1 leston, be prepared to sena a icpun that others will be enthused thereby and let us take the honors away from Charleston, which is now the banner . club. t VIRGINIA K.
