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.

l^Y Insurance Adjuster Johnson was
here last Thursday and adjusted the
fire losses of Messrs. W. H. Battley
P?;-and J. Felder Hunter, occasioned by
' a recent fire in which Mr. Hunter's
dwelling and Mr. Battley's furniture
was destroyed.

that the annual meeting of the W. M.
Ip;;: U. of Barnwell Association will meet
g||?. with the Blackville Baptist church on
gfev Friday, September 10th. 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

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.

New Telephone Manager.
Mr. F. F. Shores, who has been ?
manager of the telephone exchange ;
in Bamberg for the past year or c
more, has been transferred to Colum- c
bia, where he will act as chief clerk ?
for the district chief of the plant de- 1
partment. 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

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

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

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

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. The peo- v
of Bamberg are not going to do Si

A WITTY PREACHER.
lev. Waddy T. Duncan Writes Humorous
Letter to Rev. S. A. Nettles.
Recently Rev. S. A. Nettles, editor
f the Southern Christian Advocate,
ent out, as is his custom, postal card
otiflcations of expirations of subcriptions,
and among others he sent
ne to Rev. 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. DUNCAN.

Didn't Mean to Abuse Senate.
Gaffney, August 23.?Solicitor
>tts; said to-day that he did not mean
o say that the South Carolina senate
ad been bought, but that at the
ime he made the statement he had
roaH fho rf?r?nrt nf Tillman's
peech at Richburg, and that when
e said: "1 would not be surprised
f Tillman was right," he had refernce

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

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
