The recent wet weather makes it advisable to clean up your premises thoroughly and use lime freely. A little care may save a doctor's bill. See the advertisement of the Horner Military School in this issue. This is a high-grade institution, and it offers advantages possessed by few.

In another column will be found a call for the prohibitionists to meet in the town hall in this cfcy on the first Monday in July. . It is evident that the prohibitionists will organize in this county for the approaching dispensary election.

The board of registration for Bamberg county will not open their ll"- office for three days after the first Monday in July, as previously stated, as this is contrary to law, as will be seen by the article published in another column. The board will issue certificates the first Monday in July, but the books will close after that day, so if you want a certificate, be on hand on that day. We are careful m correcting our mailing list, but with the great num! ber of new subscribers and renewals coming in these days, it is hard to Keep track of every name. So if mistakes do occur, please notify us at once. Subscribers in renewing to the young ladies in the contest should always state that their subscription is a renewal instead of a new subscription, so we will avoid doubling the name on our list.

The first cotton bloom of the season was sent to us last week by Mr. J. R. Williams, of Uimer. The letter was dated the 15th, and the olooni was a day or two old when it reached us, being somewhat dry and withered. Mr. Williams writes that je has a field of about eighty-five acres average. The second cotton bloom of the season was handed into our office last Saturday afternoon by Mr. J. M. Parker, a first-rate farmer of the Hunter's Chapel section. Mr. Parkier informed us that he had plenty of blooms in his field last Thursday, but he could not get away to come to town and bring us one. The third cotton bloom of the season was received by The Herald Monday afternoon from Mr. S. W. Clayton, a mighty good farmer, of the Colston section. Happily Married. Mr. W. E. Free and Miss Birdie Gill were happily married last Thursday afternoon at five o'clock, at the hnmo rtf the bride's mother in this city. Rev. O. J. Frier, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, was the officiating minister. The wedding was a very quiet affair, only the near relatives of the contracting parties being present. The happy young couple left on the six o'clock train for Charleston and seaside resorts, where their honeymoon will be spent. They will be away about two weeks, and on their return will board at Mrs. Garland's until they go to housekeeping in their neat little home on Bridge street, which Mr. Free recently purchased from Mr. R. M. Bruce. The groom is a son of Clerk of Court C. B. Free, and is a young attorney of the local bar, having been admitted to practice some months ago. His many friends predict a bright future for him. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mrs. S. R. Garland, and has always been exceedingly popular with old and young. She is a young woman of gracious manners and fine character, and Mr. Free is to be heartily congratulated on winning her for his bride. These young people start life most auspiciously, and with the hearty good wishes of a very large circle of friends. They received many handsome and useful presents. The Herald extends sincere congratulations and good wishes. The Waterworks. The material for the waterworks is arriving, and work on the system will commence very soon. The board of public works has bought a tank of 75,000 gallons capacity, which will be placed on a tower 100 feet high. Wells will be bored on the lot at the electric ligni piani, and a reservoir constructed which will hold 50,000 or 60,000 gallons. The water will be pumped from the wells into the reservoir and from the reservoir into the tank, and as the reservoir will be kept constantly full, this will give a reserve supply of water in case of fire. Eight inch wells will be bored. Prohibition Meeting. We the undersigned citizens hereby request all voters interested in the cause of prohibition to meet in convention at the town hall at Bamberg, S.

The new subscribers are coming in at a great rate, and we feel confident we will have at least two thousand subscribers when our great popularity contest closes. Our circulation now is something to be wondered at for a small county like Bamberg, and it shows that there must be merit in the paper or people wnnlH Tint snpnd their monev for subscriptions. Our friends are cordially invited to come in and see the paper printed and see for themselves what our circulation is. Search for White Criminal. Little Rock, June 21.?Little Rock and its suburbs were searched to-night for an unidentified white man who, it is charged, beat into insensibility and assaulted a young woman in an office building here today. A student at a local business college says she was called to the office building with a promise that she would be given clerical employment. She was met by a young man, who, she declares, overpowered her and assaulted her, after she was bound and gagged to preyent an outcry. Her face and neck are badly bruised and her condition is regarded as serious. 'T V \ ; ri'. ' >; : L Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

The idea that he would have us all get hold of is that this week is preparation week for service, by self-examination, prayer, and consecration. Christ said, "He that is not for me is against me." There is no neutral ground. The ^indifferent, unconcerned church member is reckoned against Christ, while professing to be for him. Who can afford to occupy such a position? Let each member try to lead some one to Christ during these meetings. Let us all pull together, pray together and each stand in our places as an army ready for battle and God will bless us and give us the victory. I trust all will give careful personal thought to the timely article of Dr. C. C. Brown in last week's Herald, under the title, Hogs and Men. Sunbeam Band meets Friday at 5 o'clock. All are cordially invited to the daily services of our protracted meeting. * Our great theme and aim will be to get right with God. Since our best interests here and hereafter are involved in this, could we spend a little time more profitably than considering this vital subject. "The spirit and the bride say come, and let him that heareth say come. And let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely."?Rev. 22:17. A Fine Opportunity for a Young Man . The normal scholarships of the University of South Carolina have been raised in value.

Mitchell, University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C., for blank on which to apply. Farmers' Union Picnic. Ehrhardt, S. ., June 14, 1909. Mr. A. W. Knight, Bamberg, S. C.

R. CLAYTON, Secretary Farmers' Union. Investigation Wanted. Will some one investigate sanitary conditions around the lower part of Main street in the neighborhood of the cook shops? There is great carelessness in the disposition of the refuse. It is up to some one to correct this, or there will be more work for the undertaker. X. Y. Z. and Others. Quiet Wedding. T.ast Thursdav afternoon at 5:30 o'clock a very simple but impressive ceremony took place at the home of Mrs. G. W. Garland, when she gave in marriage her daughter, Birdie Gill, to Mr. William E. Free. In accordance with the wishes of the contracting parties, only a few members of the family were present. The parlor where the young people plighted their troth was decorated with pot-plants in a very tasty manner. The bride looked very attractive in her going-away gown of brown Shantung with hat, gloves, and accessories to match. They left on the six o'clock train amid a shower of "rice and good wishes" for Charleston and Sullivan's Island. They expect to visit Hampton before theii return, after which they will be at home to their friends at the Garland house. X. Painful Accident. t Mr. L. B. Fowler met with a most painful accident at the oil mill Tuesday afternoon. A heavy piece of machinery was being moved on rollers, and the roller ran up on his left foot, mashing it badly. While the foot is badly bruised, no bones were broken, and his many friends will be glad to know that he is getting along nicely. He will be confined to the house for some weeks of nourse. hut no serious results will follow. Assessed for Taxes.
