for the roof in a few days.
Next week we will publish a statement
from Messrs. 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

The highest bid on the piano being
sold by Dr. V. W. Brabham to the

your bid in time. Some one is going
?/?;: to get a bargain.
" . The auction sale of lots of the H. J.

MB" ' L. C. 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.

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.

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. <

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 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.

Auction Sale of Real Estate.
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

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

Bamberg, S. C., May 6th.
The investigation of affairs at the
State asylum has been going on the
past week, and the facts being
brought to light reflect anything but
credit on the management. It looks
like the institution needs a thorough
overhauling.
