Subscriptions are pouring into The i Herald office, as the young ladies are ] redoubling their efforts on the home i stretch. Every young lady should , put forth extra effort for the short 1 time which remains, and if she does , ber best she will have no regrets, no matter what the result. 1 Attention is directed to the new advertisement of the Marjenhoff Co., 1 proprietors of the Charleston Biscuit . Works, in this issue. This is an enIterprising firm, and they manufacture a nice line of biscuits, carry an 1 extensive line of baker's supplies, 1 etc. Write them for prices. Only a few weeks now until The Herald's great popularity contest ends. The young lady contestants are doing some good work these days, and the contest is indeed getting interesting. There are handsome prizes to be awarded, and they are well worth working for. < Next Wednesday, July 7th, the y--: .

We learn from cotton exporters in Savannah that this year the exporters and mill men will deduct from each bale of cotton with over six yards of bagging the weight of the extra bagging from the gross weight of the cotton. The cotton buyers and exporters therefore ask the ginners as well as the farmers not to use over six yards of bagging to the bale and thus save annoyance, as the local buyers will be compelled to deduct from all bales having over six , yards of bagging.

Hughes, the : negro who shot and killed Clerk of ! Court W. B. Causey in that town a 1 few months ago, and the case was < transferred to Bamberg county. We * slip the following from the Hamp ton Guardian of last week in refer- i ence to the proceedings for trans rerring the case to this county for 1 trial: "A change of venue was granted ; in the case of W. H. Hughes, for the killing of Wilson B. Causey, here, '> last April, and the case will be tried 1 in Bamberg county at the next term of court, which convenes on the 8th I of November. Solicitor Byrnes *op posed the motion of the Hon. James 1 E. Davis, who represented the de- fendant." 1 Hooton M. Felder Hurt. The many friends of Mr. Hooton M. Felder in Bamberg, where he was born and raised, will regret to learn of a serious accident which happened to him recently. Mr. Feider now lives at Mullins, Marion county, and we take the following from the Mullins Enterprise in reference to the accident: "H. M. Feider came near having a serious accident last Friday, while draying from his store to the depot, i His horse became frightened and made a dash, throwing him to the < ground and several crates of preserv- i ing cans on top of him. He was picked up in an unconscious condition, his forehead and face fruised up considerably, while his nose was broken and otherwise bruised. His collar bone was also broken. Dr. Brailsford dressed the wounds and says it will be six or eight weeks before he will recover entirely from his injuries." Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

NEWS AND NOTICES Sunday was missionary day at Sunday-school, and the usual good collection was raised. Protracted meeting began last Sunday, and is going on this week, the pastor doing the peraching. Services are 10 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. The service Monday morning was a Bible study. The subject was, Weighing ourselves in God's balance. 1. It is our duty to frequently do this, since so much is involved in it. See 2 Pet. 1:11, and 2 Cor. 13:5. 2. The Divine balance is the word of God. See John 12:48. 3. The real evidence of being in Christ lies not in experience of the past or outward conformity; but in what we are in life. See 2 Cor. 5:17. Compare, Matt. 7:21-23 and 1 John 3:2-3. 4. The true evidence of a right life, lies in a right heart. See 1 John 4:7-8. Proof of love to God is the submissive spirit of obedience. See John 14:15; 1 John 5:3, and 1 John 3:14. Proof that we do not love God. See 1 John 2-15-17. Tuesday morning the theme was, Full Assurance of Faith, meaning perfect trust in Christ the object of faith. Paul expresses it in 2 Tim. ( 1:12. We examine ourselves by God's word to be assured we are in faith, , and we study to know Christ and his faithfulness and power as a savior to have full assurance of faith. You might do well to cu* this out and put in your Bible for future study and meditation. Knights of Pythias. Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pyth- : ias, held a regular meeting in their ; aew lodge room Monday night, this being the first time the hall was used. The lodge not only has handsome new furniture, but all the regalia is also aew, the old regalia being destroyed ; by fire when the old city hall was 1 burned. The officer-; and members of the lodge are determined to make Bamberg one of the leading lodges in the . State, and at the suggestion pf Bro. ( W. R. Fishburne, of Columbia, who . was present Monday night, two ; working teams will- be organized to ' solicit members. The lodge will also ; organize a regular degre team, and 1 it is likely that the long form third rank will be used later on. , Two Games of Ball. Two good games of base ball were ] played here Monday and Tuesday ] afternoons of this week between Bamberg and Barnwell, and another \ jame will be played this (Wednesday) aiternoon. Bamberg won both \ \I<-?riai*'e anH TjipsHav's p-Jime. the . ?core of the first game being three to , ane, and the second ten to three. ] An ice cream festival was given on ] the Fitting School campus Tuesday j evening for the benefit of the ball ] team, which was largely attended md very much enjoyed. New Lodge Room. The new lodge room, on the third , floor of the new city hall building, ( aas been completed and the Masons , ind Knights of Pythias have moved . in. It is one of the handsomest lodge rooms in the State, and is furnished ! tiandsomely. There is a nice carpet j an the floor and matting in the ante rooms, while the furniture and ahairs are exceedingly handsome. ( rhe hair is large and wrell ventilated, and was designed to meet the needs af these two secret orders. The Masons and Knights have cause to be ' proud of their new home, and no ' doubt this great improvement will result in an increase in membership ; JI UULil U1UCIS. The hall is lighted with electric lights, Tungsten lamps being used. c Fine Corn. ? We had the pleasure of seeing j some exceedingly fine corn this week. , Mr. J. J. Jones took us out to the farm of he and his brothers yesterday morning, and there we saw fifty acres of as fine corn as we ever saw. It is as green as can be and growing fine. Most of the stalks have 1 several shoots, and it is estimated 1 that the corn will make three ears to the stalk or more. It is planted in six feet rows, and the stalks on the ; bed are not more than twelve inches 1 apart. It is freely estimated by average seventy-five bushels or ; more * to the acre, which will give Jones Bros, about 4,000 bushels Df corn to the fifty acres, in addition to the fodder and pea vine hay. Mr. ^ Jones is confident that the corn will J pay him much better than cotton, although he has been making more n Viola tn + Vi a onrfl nn tViic o a m o LII d 11 a UCLl^ IV liiv uvi ^ vu tiiiu muuiv land for a number of years.

Bamberg, June 29.?A new company has recently been formed here for the purpose of building store fixtures, and the enterprise gives much promise of success. The gentlemen interested own a valuable patent which will no doubt bring the concern into prominence throughout the State and the South. It is a ribbon case with a measuring device attached and will do much towards revolutionizing the handling of ribbons and < val laces. The concern will be known as the Bamberg Manufacturing Company and will be controlled by two of Bamberg's live merchants, Messrs. E. A. Hooton and W. A. Klauber. For the present the manufacturing will be done elsewhere, but in a short while the concern will have its own plant here.?The State, i As to The Herald. A rscent subscriber writes us as follows: "Dear Mr. Knight: It has : een a pleasure to me in reading our paper. I regard it as the best ounty paper I ever saw. Wishing on much success." We appreciate -uch expressions as these, and they make us work harder to furnish a newspaper in fact as well as in name. One of the most prominent busitess men of Bamberg told us a few ivs ago that he considered The raid the best weekly newspaper in v State. And his subscription is . u;'. :n advance for five years, too. Another prominent business man. speaking of the number of automobiles in Bamberg, and there being more machines here than any town its size in the State, said that Bamberg was away ahead of any town its size in a number of things, and among other things he mentioned that Bamberg had the best newspaper. < In renewing his subscription to one of the young ladies in the con- , test a few days ago, one of our most prominent citizens and leading business men, said that The Herald was nna nf tho heet TreeVliPK in the State. Excuse us for mentioning these ( things, but when the leading people ' of your town talk this way about . their newspaper, we think the publi- , :ation of their remarks is excusa- \ ble. ____ ! Runaway Accident. Yesterday morning the horse of . Mail Carrier E. F. Free became i frightened while hitched to a post in , front of the store of Mr. E. Bart j Price, near the postoffice, and dashed off. He turned the corner at the . store of Mr. H. J. Brabham, Jr., and j went up toward the Fitting School , on a run, but he had not gone far be- [ fore he attempted to pass Mr. Till- \ man Felder, who ran out to stop him, \ and ran into a telephone pole, breaking the mail wagon up pretty badly. } Here he detached himself from the wagon and went on up the street . with the harness flying about his j heels. Two young ladies, Misses j Wilhelmina Folk and Blanche Hair, \ had a narrow escape from injury, as j the runaway horse ran into their horse just after he passed the corner, , and their buggy came very near be- ? ing overturned. Had it not been for J the efforts of Mr. Felder, who caught < their horse, who in turn had become \ frightened by the runaway dashing c against him, a serious accident might ( have happened. Death of Mr. J. A. Chassereau. . Mr. J. A. Chassereau, one of the i most prominent*apd popular citizens I of the Ehrhardt section, died at his home in that town last Wednesday, ' alter a short illness. The burial took place Thursday at St. John's Baptist 2 ihurch, the services being conducted c by Rev. E. W. Peeples. * Mr. Chassereau was about sixty rears old, and leaves a wife and three 2 children, Mrs. C. E. Kinsey, and 1 Messrs. J. F. and E. P. Chassereau. He was a prominent Mason, and was 2 buried with Masonic honors. Truly * a good man and citizen has been * taken from among us. 2 Mr. Chassereau always took an in- 2 terest in public affairs, and served as county commissioner of Barnwell 2 :ounty before Bamberg was estab- 2 lished. He will be sadly missed by his neighbors and a large circle of 2 friends, and his death is a distinct t loss to the county. j Goes to Walterboro. 6 t At a meeting of the trustees of the 2 Walterboro graded school held rhursday, Prof. Hugo Sheridan was j elected principal of the school here t 'or the next session. Prof. Sheridan \ s well and favorably known to the r people of ihis county, having taught c n Bamberg several years. Last year \ le had charge of the school at Lake j Jity. He is an educator of experi- c ?nce and ability, and Vill do much c :o lead this community in its educational awakening. Prof. Sheridan was in town Thurs3ay and arranged for a home. He \ will occupy the Price house on c 3ridge street, arriving in town about e July 15th.?Walterboro Press and c Standard. p Rev. Thomas Leitch, of Charles- e :on, will assist Rev. A. E. Wilkes in i i series of revival services to com- t mence at Olar on next Sunday. Mr. Marshall, who has been with Mr. > Leitch as his singer for many years, a will be at Olar to conduct the music, j ?Barnwell Sentinel. f Special Days at Springtown. t The regular annual Sunday-school I picnic will be at Springtown on July f the 3rd. 1 Rev.

Aiken, June 28.?Will Hardy, col- * ored, was arrested in Aiken Saturday j afternoon and placed in the city jail, t awaiting a hearing from the authori- v ties of Oconee county, Georgia, where ^ Hardy is wanted as an escaped con- a vict. Officer George captured Hardy s in the city. He has been employed J by Mr. J. L. Johnson for about two j weeks, when he came to Aiken. A postal describing the negro fell into j the hands of Officer George and he recognized the negro at once. Hardy was convicted in Georgia of ^ manslaughter. He was sentenced to serve ten years in the convict camps of that State. He had served seven years of. the ten years' sentence, when he escaped from Oconee count}. U A reward of $50 was offered for J C the capture of the negro, which Mr. 1 George will claim. He communi- 1 cated with the authorities at once z and found that Hardy was the man t he had captured. The authorities i came over for him to-day. i ' ' . V. *5 r.-T- '/ HIS HOPES CAST DOWN. .Vrong Vc diet Read to Prisoner in a Chicago Court. A fleeting hope of freedom held out to a prisoner in Judge Brentano's court in Chicago on Tuesday wa< Miatrhcd from him in a way that cat: d a sigh of pity to spread amo..t t'/.e spectators. The prisoner was Frank O'Donae'!. accused of robbing a citizen at the point of a revolver. The foreman handed the clerk two forms, one ;or guilty and the other for acquittal. "Not guilty," read the clerk, absentn.indedly, failing to note that he was reading the unsigned form. O'Donnell jumped from his seat, xcitediy laughing, and wrung his awyer's hand. He started from the . oom with his head in the air and his ryes sparkling. Then the mistake was discovered and O'Donnell was brought back. His head sank on his chest as the real verdict was delivered: "Guilty and condemned to serve the term of his natural life in prison." Cotton Prospect far from Bright.

Are you taking my idvice or my prescriptions, or have 'ou joined the ranks of the foodaddists?" "I have done none of these hings," responded the former dys>eptic. "I have found a perfect rule or permanent good'health and I beieve I am done with doctors foriver." "How is that?" asked the doctor. "Well," ejaculated the discoverer, 'when I sit down at the table I am ;areful to see that I measure just ix inches from the edge of the table, rhen I eat and eat and when I hit? quit.
