The Bamberg boys won, the score being ten to six. The reunion of Company G is to take place to-day (Thursday) at Bethesda church,- near Ehrhardt, and will no doubt be largely attended by the Confederate veterans and their friends. Lumber and other material is be ing placed on the ground tor a new residence, which Mr. Emory A. Hooton will have erected on Railroad ave. nue, just below Mr. Henry F. Bamberg's residence. The fire at Dr. Hoover's residence ?* ;> broke up the meeting of the Knights of Pythias Monday night, as so many of the members were at the fire that ? ' a quorum was not present when the time of meeting came. Mrs. F. E. Price will continue to handle the newspapers heretofore ' sold by her father, Mr. Jos.

Mr. Grandy, the contractor of the ^ " \ new city hall building, knocked down T. some of the overhead plastering on the stairway this week and had it v"'- put up again. We presume it was not standing well was the reason. The first bale of cotton for this season for Orangeburg county was sold in that city Thursday. The price ?|^: paid was 12% cents the pound. Bamberg's first bale brought 13% cents 1|5^ the pound. Comment is unnecessary. Hp?. * Mr. J. J.

Hiers, Jr., at Ehrhardt, has resigned, and Mr. J. C. Copeland has been appointed by Governor Ansel to fill the vacancy. Mr. ?ps-_ Copeland was formerly magistrate at Efcrhardt, but was not a candidate in the primary last summer. Efe We are requested by Mrs. E. A.

Each society is requested to send a delegate. Ilpy The Herald Book Store is getting in this week an unusually large and Kgr? complete stock of stationery, blank books, office supplies, etc., etc. We Sp'-'s expect to do the stationery trade of lll^- 'Bamberg this fall, for we carry ten BSi? times the stock of any store in Bam I berg and buyers can find what they want here. The dispensaries in Bamberg county will open for business to-morrow (Friday.) The State board of canvassers will meet to-day to officially declare the result of the dispensary election and as there is no contest in Bamberg county, the dispensaries can open for business as soon as the result is declared. * The first bale of new cotton for Bamberg county was received here last Thursday, having been brought from the farm of Mr. A. P. Beard, of the Colston section. The weight of the bale was 459 pounds. It was graded strict middling and bought by the Planters Mercantile Company for 13% cents the pound. Mr. J. C. Wilson, of the Smoaks section, was in the city last Saturday and called at our office. He told us that a few days ago, on the plantation of Mr. A. W. Wilson, in his section, he killed another rattlesnake. The snake was found by the wife of Mr. J. D. Carter, and while it was five feet long, it had only three rattles and a button. At its meeting last Monday the |// county dispensary board reduced the Hp;: prices on some brands of liquors which have proved to be slow sale. ?? , The board is anxious to get rid of the stock on hand and wind up the dispensary affairs as soon as possible. I g- While they have until November I 15th to sell the stock on hand, still gsj-v me uisyensaries in mis county win '? close up just as soon as posible. E. C. Redford, a young negro of |.\ this town, was an applicant for the *: position of census supervisor of the second congressional district. We r derived this information through \ Congressman Patterson. However, a white man and a Democrat has been appointed. The negroes in this sec:? tion might as well learn that no offi5 ces are going to be given them, where ' they will come in contact with white \ people. Mr. F. M. Stubbs, of Augusta, v- writes us that Mrs. Stubbs said to tell the editor of The Herald that t&r she had not received her paper for the past two weeks, and to please look into why it did not arrive. She says the paper is like a letter from home, so don't fail to send it regularly. He says she always wants to ^ know, * "Did you bring my pa? t?" Mrs. Stubbs was formerly Miss Hattie Bamberg, and we are glad to know that she appreciates The t Herald. The Simmons cemetery, on Railroad avenue, is being cleaned up this week and put in good condition. Hon. C. W. Garris, of Denmark, { I was one of the speakers at the , . educational rally at Aiken this week. , Night Policeman C. C. Rowell has ] been sick for several days, and Mr. ; B. F. Pearson is acting as policeman j in his stead. ( Cotton is beginning to come to market, and if this fine weather keeps up, the receipts at this place < will soon be large. Mr. J. B. Watkins, superintendent ' of the oil mill, has been forced to ! take a rest, and is visiting relatives in Anderson county. The weather has been rather cool ] in Bamberg all week, which was very ] welcome after the extremely hot spell i , of the past two weeks. ] [ Our merchants are receiving lots i of new fall goods, and the salesmen ? are busy opening them up and get- ] ting reaay ior tne ran iraue. < Mr. Stanwix Mayfield, a son of ! : Hon. and Mrs. S. G. Mayfield, has 1 been sick for more than two weeks ! j with typhoid fever at their home in j ; Denmark, but is improving. Mr. G. Lewis Kinard, who has s , charge of the dispensary bottling ] . plant, has been suffering for the past ' few weeks with a badly sprained ? wrist, in fact it was knocked out of ] place, and he suffered considerably, but is about all right again. The county board of canvassers met here Tuesday to officially declare . the result of the recent dispensary election in this county. The totals were the same as previously publish- * ed, and there were no protests or " contests over the election. Some people in the country are \ still under the impression, so we ? have heard, that a license is charged g in Bamberg for selling chickens, t eggs, and other country produce, t This is a mistake. No license at all \ is charged to farmers, and sellers t of produce are gladly welcomed. t At the reunion of Company G at 2 Bethesda church to-day (Thursday) 1 Mr. F. H. Creech, sheriff of Barnwell I county and an old Confederate vet- t eran, will deliver the address on the c part of the veterans, and Mr. B. D. r Carter, of Bamberg, will speak as a a representative of the sons of Confed- * erate veterans. The ginnery at the oil mill is about ready to run, and work on the installation of the oil mill machinery is c going forward as rapidly as possible. 1 The mill has been delayed on account E of non-arrival of material and ma- c chinery, but it is hoped everything f will be in readiness to crush seed 0 when the season opens fairly. c It is a right singular coincidence c that the first bales of new cotton sold e in Orangeburg and Bamberg were 8 raised and sold by colored farmers 8 living in two adjoining counties. * These thrifty colored farmers know J where to sell their cotton to get a J good price and square dealing.?Or- f angeburg Times and Democrat. * As the town will have to organize a fire department and have a large bell to give the alarm, it would be a good idea to divide the town into e fire wards, obtain the old Metho- t aisi cnurcn Deu, anu ereui it uu a tower in rear of the city hall building, and give the alarm by wards. ^ We suggest that city council take up * this matter. * Taxes in the city of Orangeburg j were 15 mills last year, and this week j city council raised the levy to seven- j teen mills. However, this will not j make up the loss in revenue from j the dispensary, and the Times and j, Democrat says it will take eleven g mills to make up the deficiency. That g paper also says the city of Orange- ^ burg received about $18,000 a year ^ from the dispensary. j Work on the water works is pro- x gressing rapidly this week, and no ^ doubt the system wil be completed some time next week. Of course it is a little inconvenient to have the streets dug up, but our people should be patient. The inconvenience will not last long, and when we have fire protection, we will all forget the E little inconvenience suffered during P the installation of the system. b ? ii As to Dry Wells. I Last week notices signed by H. D. 9 Free, magistrate, were served on par- f ties in town who maintain dry wells 1 or cess pools for sewerage purposes, a and this action has created some in- c terest, as a number of people in town * have these drv wells. There is a * State law making it. an offence to ? maintain dry wells within the corpor- ? ate limits of any town, and the law J requires that they be abolished after s fifteen days' notice. The penalty is a { fine of $100 or thirty days on the ? chain gang. , c New Advertisements. a J. J. Simmons?For Exchange. J. B. Brickie?Burnt Out But c Still Doing Business. P. H.

Mr. Shores is succeeded c as manager here by Mr. T. C. Bland, ; formerly of North Carolina, but who c has been in Oklahoma for some time * past. Mr. Shores is a most clever 1 young man and has made many friends in Bamberg during his stay here, who regret to have him leave us. We gladly welcome Mr. Bland to Bamberg. Cabbage Snakes. Better be careful how you eat Northern cabbage. Mr. Jno. M. Jennings brought us a specimen of the cabbage snake Tuesday morning of this week, stating that he found three snakes in one head of Northern cabbage. It is said these snakes are not to be found in home-raised cabbage, and as they are inside the heads and are poisonous, you had better be careful how you eat North> ern cabbage. The snake is a small thing, about two inches long, and looks something like an earth worm, > but they die soon after the cabbage is opened and they are exposed to the air. Demand Better Service. At the instance of a number of ^ citizens, Mayor J. A. Wyman and the a * ?ditor of The Herald, last week prepared a petition to the Southern rail- >'ea' svay authorities, asking that tele- som phones be installed at the passenger acc( md freight depots and that the wait- sch< ing rooms and other railroad prop?rty be adequately lighted, perferably is.a svith electric lights. Fitt This petition was circulated among *kii Dur business men for signatures by ?on Mr. C. F. Ellzey, and every business *1 man in the city who was approached not signed the petition. This petition f?ri has been forwarded to Mr. H. L. Hun- so *erford, superintendent of the Char- the leston division, and with it a personal letter from Mayor Wyman. It is aQd h,-?Tior1 antirm will hp taken hv Tea? the railway authorities upon this the matter at once, and if not the rail- to h road commission will be appealed to, the is the people of Bamberg are deter- leg* mined to require better service from pro] the railroad. The freight and pas- T 5enger business at this point is grow- sch< ng, the receipts this year being lege much larger than ever before. In fore 'act the increase in business has been has something remarkable, and it is only enti just that the railroad company sum should give Bamberg service com- Wh> mensurate with the business done, and rhis we expect?no more, no less? ed i ind this the business interests of hav 3amberg will demand. the mi the Fine Cotton. Stat T Mr. J. J. Simmons, who lives about _ * ;wo miles from Bamberg, and who is ? ^ me of the most up-to-date and pro- . ^ressive farmers in the State, has P seven acres of cotton this year which ?*} competent judges say will yield at P? east fourteen bales, this being two >ales to the acre. Last year, notwith- Ty ? itan^in<r nftftp />rnn iiouuiuft ww*. nroi jenerally, Mr. Simmons made, on j*1 his seven acres, twelve bales of cot- 71? on, and the crop this year is so much *V >etter than last, it is confidently eslimated that he will make not less han fourteen bales on the seven 1 , Lcres. Mr. Simmons uses the pure JUST Toole seed, his entire farm being . )lanted with this variety. This is J3?!11 he right way to farm, and if more *r D f our farm'ers would follow Mr. Sim- :?e nons's example as to smaller acreage tJ?e md larger yield our county would Pie >e immeasurably better off.

Some time af- will ;er Mr. Jones returned and found Hoi ;hat the mule had pawed a deep hole Bos it the root of the little tree at which prol ae was hitched and that caused the tria ;ree to fall and when the tree fell it olin irew the rope by which the mule 000 ivas tied so tight that it forced the ablt mule's nose against the ground and lud< prevented the mule from breathing, tria rhe mule was valued at about $200. seei Fitting School Will Not Open. Ir. Wm. Hopkins, who came here eek or so ago to take charge of p Fitting School for the coming r, left last Sunday morning for e place in Alabama, where he has jpted a pos t:on as principal of a )ol. Mr. oil . >.!rs. Hopkins were 0 i here, and although the writer S' member of the local board of the n ;ing Schooi. we did not know any- g( ig of his leaving until he was e. 0 t appears that Mr. Hopkins was n at all pleased with the outlook p the school, especially as it was late in the summer and so near . time for school to open, that he 11 not feel warranted in staying u assuming charge. Another great e ;on was the lack of interest on part of those who are supposed p lave control of the school, namely, board of trustees of Wofford col- ^ ;, in whose name the title to the e periy is neia. ^ he people of Bamberg built the n >ol and gave it to Wofford col- e s, and yet for all these years Wof- n 1 college nor the Methodist church 8; done anything for the school, the f re responsibility having been as- y Led by the local board of control. ^ en money was needed, the board r the people of Bamberg furnish- a t, and yet the citizens of this town a e been expected to contribute to c institutions of learning owned by c church in other parts of the s :e. fi he condition of the gift of the perty is that should Wofford col- y not run the school, it will revert o ? to the Bamberg school district, 0 we suppose the property will still fi ised for school purposes, and will s itilized as the high school depart- v it of the Bamberg graded school, d iny rate, it is safe to say that the U perty will continue to be used as a a >ol, for the people of Bamberg r< determined to have here a flrsts boarding school which will pre- I i young men and young women t? the higher classes in the colleges, b ; what will be done yet cannot be e: ed, as some of the local board of 0 :rol are out of town, but one s: g is certain, Wofford college or 11 Methodist church will have to run school or give it up.

Waddy T. Duncan, formerly pastor at Bamberg, but now residing elder of the Sumter disrict. Mr. Duncan's real witty letter i reply will be read with real pleasre by his many friends and admir rs in Jtjamoerg: Sumter, S. C., Aug. 3, 1909. Lev. S. A. Nettles, Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Dr. Nettles: I received by toay's mail a rather long, somewhat xpository, semi-didactic, generously ortatory notice advising me that ly subscription to the Advocate had xpired May 1, ultimo, and offering le, as the insurance agent would ay, the choice of three settlements: 'irst, I could become vexed and say ou should have stopped the paper rhen my subscription expired and efuse positively to pay any arrearges; second, I could pay the 35 cents rrearages and order the paper disontinued; or, third, I could enclose heck for one dollar and request the ubscription extended for one year rom date of expiration. I wish in the first place to thank ou for offering such liberal terms f settlement, and to say that, after onsidering the matter carefully rom every point of view, and conulting freely with some friends, in rhose judgment I have great confience, I have decided to accept the ist mentioned mode of settlement, nd enclose check to cover price of enewal subscription. I regret no little, I assure you, that allowed this important obligation d escape my attention, thereby emarrassing the perpetually depleted xchequer of this venerable, historic rgan, and putting you to the necesIty, furthermore, of going so fully, linutely, and elaborately into the delils of the trials, tribulations and exations of spirit incident to the anctum sanctorum of a church paer. I regret, too, more than I am ble to express, that my mental oranism has baffled your business di lomacy and that you have been so uzzled to know just how to apprise le that my subscription to the old dvocate had expired. You will paron me for telling you a little seret, but the fact is?and there is no se to try to hide it longer?I had ntertained the conceit that I was a ather easy sort of fellow to undertand and get along with, and you an imagine the rude awakening your oluminous dun caused me. With most penitent apologies for iich inexcusable remissness, and rith promises of amendment, and Ishing you unnumbered years of ealth abundant, happiness unmixed rith sorrow, and success beyond our own most sanguine dreams, I eg to remain, Yours truly and sincerely, WADDY T.

MB THREE BARRELS BEER SEIZEB 3 By the Police and Turned Over to .;. Sheriff Salley. w The police have their eyes cocked for contraband and they are seizing some of the stuff right along. Dur- 4 ing the early part of the week some beer was seized. Saturday two more barrels fell into the remorseless hands of the police, and on Monday they grabbed still another barrel. If f this sort of thing keeps up this will be a sure enough dry town and the thirsty will have to compromise on f branch water. The two barrels seized Saturday were consigned to P. Riley and Gus Kennedy, care of the Citizens' Social ^ Club, and the one seized Monday was consigned to J. P. Hutto, care CitlHliiK A fKa Haas* 6CUO k^VViai viuu* xxlvvi tuv wvva had been taken from depot Offleers Jennings and Edwins seized it and turned it over to Sheriff Salley, and it is now in his office. The parties to whom the beer was shipped were very indignant at the way they were treated. But that is the law, , . and they will have to grin and bear it. The Citizens' Social Club, in whose care the beer was shipped, has its i rooms over the store of Mr. Willcock, on Russell, street. It is conducted on the same principle that the A Edisto Social Club is conducted. It m claims to have a legitimate mem- ^ bership who have lockers in the rooms to keep their liquor in. The # beer seized was for members of this club, and the is why it was addressed in its care. At least that is what is claimed. . But that is unlawful under the law as it now is, and this beer was subject to seizure. In fact, the law is so drastic that almost any whiskey or beer shipped to an individual . or club is subject to seizure and confiscation. There is no way that liquor can be shipped that will exempt " it from seizure, and those who order it will have to take these chances on all shipments. The city attorney, Major W. L. Glaze, backs up the po-- ffjjgfo lice in their efforts to grab all the booze that comes in sight.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. f NOTICE. SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION. v Clemson Agricultural College.
