Remember the address on prohibiten harp tn-rtav (Thursday) by Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Georgia. The Methodist parsonage was completed last Wednesday, and Rev. T. G. Herbert and family moved in on Thursday. The building of cotton mills in the Piedmont section of this State has begun again, and several new mills are projected. The Sunbeam Band will meet Friday afternoon at five o'clock, at the Baptist church. A large attendance is earnestly requested. Rural Route Carrier E. F. Free is taking his vacation, and. Mr. H. W. Adams is delivering the mail to patrons on Route No. 2. Mrs. T. D. Jones, of Ehrhardt, is selling her stock of millinery at cost preparatory to moving to Augusta. She expects to move August 10th. See the new ad. of J. A. Hunter in this issue. He has just moved ii-;o his handsome new store, with a bran new line of everything in the hardware line. See the new ad. of the Cable Company in this issue. They sell the Kingsbury pianos, one of which was given away by The Herald in its great popularity contest. In the amounts contributed to the monument fund, we had it last week as S. G. Ray, $1.00; when this was a mistake. It should have been H. A. Ray who contributed $1.00. y It is time for our merchants to be??' gin to think about fall advertising. Cotton will soon be coming to market, and the man who advertises is the man who gets the trade. Mr. J. E. McMillan, of Ehrhardt, D. H. Rice, of Buford's Bridge, and J. W. Stewart, of Bamberg, attended the meeting of the State Farmers' Union in Columbia last week. If you want the most up-to-date vehicle, you'll have to see G. Frank Bamberg's line. Rev. T. G. Herbert spent a few days in Georgetown last week, and was away Sunday. Rev. J. P. Simpson, pastor of the mill chapel, preached at Trinity church in the mornHP# insRead the advertisements in The Herald.

Every town that we know X " ' of has a license ordinance. City council held a regular monthy ly meeting Tuesday afternoon, but mostly routine business was transacted. Chief Hand was granted a vacation of two weeks on full pay, and he left yesterday for North Caror Una. J. M.

Bamberg won the first two, but St. Matthews took the last one. The games were well attended and well worth seeing. The St. Matthews boys are a gentle I*:; manly set of young fellows, and we shall be glad to have them here j fSgp: win. < The town council of Bamberg i wishes to make plain one phase of the 1 business license tax, concerning i which the public seems to have a ' misconception. We wish it dis- < tinctlv understood that no tax has 1 been levied or will be levied upon 1 the produce of the farms, and the i farmers are invited and urged to i bring their produce to Bamberg, < where they will find a ready market for it, and good prices will be paid, < without one cent of cost to the farm- 1 ers. Attention is again directed, by re- } quest of the town authorities, to the ' ordinance recently passed directing ( the removal of soil or refuse from 1 the premises of private parties. Mr. 1 A. M. Brabham has the contract to operate a sanitary cart, and all citi- i sens are urged to see Mr. Brabham < at once and make arrangements to 1 have their premises kept clean, and ] thereby avoid the penalty which will i attach for unsanitary premises. Coun- 1 cil is determined that the town shall be kept clean, and they must have the J co-operation of every citizen. 1 , ] ORDERS HIS OWN EXECUTION. ' ???? Wounded Officer Slain by Subordi- 1 nate to Escape Torture from Moors. Madrid, July 30.?The death of Lieut. Col. Hanezmarin on July 23, in an engagement around Melilla, was most dramatic. The Spanish regiment was decimated. Hanezmarin was wounded, and he ordered a sergeant to finish him, in order to j prevent his falling into the hands of the Moors to be tortured. The sergeant obeyed the order. He closed his eyes and sent a bullet into his colonel's heart. Estimates of the Spanish losses have been raised to 400 killed and wounded. The mountain passes are filled with the bodies of Moors, over which the jackals and birds of prey fight. According to advices received here, the tribesmen are armed with rifles of the latest pattern, and have plenty of ammunition, indicating that a huge contraband trade has been going on. few/-" New Advertisements., Peoples Bank?Dollar Saving Days. 3 The Victor Oil Co.?Wanted.

S. Cogburn. The four j attendants preceding them were: , Mr. Apollos Sandifer with Miss Ruby < Sandifer; Mr. James Sandifer with ! Miss Daisy Ellzey. A feature of the day not to be , overlooked was a picnic given by the relatives and friends of the bride and groom in the grove. A large table was bountifully supplied with all sorts of good eatables and other refreshments that were served after dinner, which were enjoyed by all < present. Shortly afterwards the i bridal party left for Tybee and other < points, after which they will be at S home at Franklinton, N. C. < Miss Miller was a very popular 1 and amiable young lady, who will be t missed by her numerous relatives and friends of the surrounding country. Mr. Berry is well known in this county as a gentleman of the highest quality and integrity. We wish them a long, happy and prosperous life. W. J. Prohibition Meeting. | There will be a prohibition meet- ] ing at Olar on Wednesday, August 1 11th, 1909. We will have one or < more addresses on the subject of pro- i hibition.

E. Livingston, of this city, and Mr. Schwartz were married at Williston Monday evening of this week. The marriage was scheduled to take place a little later, but the groom, who is a traveling man, had a chance to take a vacation, and , he came to Bamberg and insisted on taking his bride away with him. Rev. ] T. G. Herbert being out of town and . Mr. Schwartz having business at Wil- ' liston, they went up to that town on ] the evening train and were mar- ( ried. The bride has been popular in Bamberg's social circle, and the groom is well-known here, having , visited the town as a traveling sales- ' man for a number of years. He rep- . resents a Richmond dry goods house. Their friends extend congratulations and good wishes. 1 < Case Compromised. Two young cotton mill operatives j named Wilkerson and W. B. Reynolds went over to Orangeburg last < Saturday to witness a game of base ( ball between the teams of the mill i here and at Orangeburg. They hired x a horse anji buggy from the livery , stable of J. R. Kinard & Co., and they arrived at home Sunday morn- i ing. The horse was in such condition that he died late that afternoon, j and it was charged that his death was due to hard driving. A warrant was sworn out for the young men, and they were taken in charge Monday morning, but the case was compromised by their paying $75 for the animal. Law and Order League Organized. In view of the prohibition period aow in force and of the approaching slection on the dispensary question, a largely attended meeting of the leading citizens of Bamberg was held in the court house Monday afternoon of this week for the purpose af organizing a law and order league for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition law. Dr. Geo. F. Hair was made temporary chairman of the meeting, and the following were sleeted as permanent officers: J. F. Carter, president; J. A. Huntsr, vice-president; R. C. Jones, secretary. A committee on constitution and by-laws was elected as follows: Geo. F. Hair, J. F. Carter, and H. M. < Graham. The committee on mem- j bership consists of J. T.% O'Neal, Jno. j F. Folk, and Geo. F. Hair. Quite a large membership was en- t rolled, and the meeting was a most j enthusiastic one. Our people are de- ( termined that no liquor shall be sold illegally in Bamberg, and it is the ( intention of the organization to make the membership as large as possible. Immediately after the prohibition meeting here to-day (Thursday) an effort will be made to organize leagues throughout the county, and also to organize a county league. The move is a good one, and we are glad to see that our people are waking up on this question. Byrnes Making Good. A citizen of Aiken has received the following letter from a prominent business man in Barnwell, which shows how Solicitor Byrnes is re garded in that county. Among other 1 things he says:, "You have no doubt been observing with some small degree of envy that Barnwell county is doing things in the way of convicting white men. Murder with recommendation to mercy is better than what we usually get, but it is hard to understand the justification for the recommendation. Byrnes still continues to cover himself with glory, and his argument in the first Kennedy trial was by far the best speech I ever heard in the court house, and I've heard all worth while for the past fifteen years."?

Our pastor reports two pleasant lays with Pastor Simpson and the Bethesda church the first of last veek, and one profession. Very short protracted meeting. He preached here Sunday morning >n the Christian's attitude toward 3vil and how to overcome it. Two wrongs never make a right; so evil must be overcome with good, the op posite element. There was no preaching at the Methodist church Sunday night, so sve were glad to have Bro. Herbert's people worship with us. Bro. J. F. Carter was received into :he church by letter Sunday mornng The church has granted the pas;or a month's vacation when he desires to take it. He is figuring on ibout two week's vacation latter part >f the month, if he can make suitable irrangements. The pastor announced Sunday that >n next Sunday night he would discuss Dr. Howard Jones's recent sernon in Charleston on the dispen- 3 lary issue, as it was delivered from a baptist pulpit and published through 1 :he daily papers in this community. ' 3e is going to do this because Dr. , rones is clearly misused and misap)lied, and because his position is in ts truest analysis unscriptural and ilogical. We will see if the daily pa>ers that aired his sermon so, will be 'air enough to their readers to give ;he other side. ^ i Prohibition Addresses.
