Stock taking is in order among
the merchants of Bamberg this week.
They want to see how they stand
after the year's business.
Lots of the boys and girls who
have been off attending college,
teaching school, etc., are at home for
the holidays, and the town is full of
young people.
Mr. W. P. Jones is now in the West

Many of the weekly newspapers of
the State will not issue a paper this

' Christmas passed off quietly in
Bamberg. There was a lot of noise,
and considerable money was spent
| t for fireworks, but there was little
" drunkenness that we noticed. There
gj?-"- was a very large crowd in town last
Friday, and the merchants report a
Rgv large holiday trade.

Next Monday is the first Monday

these being resales. The land was
sold the first Monday in December,
but as the purchasers have not com;

Monday, at the risk of che former

SLTrr Several
from Bamberg attended
the Masonic supper at Denmark Wednesday
night of last week. The afgT1
fair was a very enjoyable one, and
K'-'" Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Owens, of the
Denmark hotel, who furnished the
supper, received many congratula3$*-'j.
tions from those present on the magnificence
of the banquet.
r The following invitations were is'0?
sued last week: "Mr. and Mrs. C..F.
Rizer will give in marriage their
j ( daughter, Lucile. to Dr. Leighton Ar- j
thur Eartzog, Tuesday evening, j
figfe " January the fourth, one thousand [
nine hundred and ten. at eight-thirty |
- o'clock, Olar Methodist church, Clar,
South Carolina. The honour o: vour
"7,^- ^presence is requested."
The Bamberg Herald is issued under
many difficulties this week, in i
fact at one time we felt that we j
would not issue at all. The cotton i
r mill shut down from Wednesday of I
last week until Wednesday of this
* week, thus giving us no power for a '
week, and this in connection with \
the Christmas holidays, made it hard
work to issue even a four page paper.
The commercial department of the
Earn berg graded school has only had
one pupil this fall. No doubt the
trustees will not elect a teacher to
take the place of Mrs. Richardson,
(Gordon) but continue until June
with the present teaching force,
which we have no doubt is quite sufficient
to train carefully every pupil
in the school without overworking
any of the teachers.
The Herald Book Store desires to
thank its many customers for their j
liberal patronage during the past |
year. Our business is growing con- j
stantlv, and our holiday trade was
much better than we expected. We
are trying to build up in Bamberg a
business which all will admit is j
needed, and all we need is the support
and patronage of our people.
And we can truthfully say that fewtowns
in the State or elsewhere, the
size of Bamberg, can boast of a book
store anything like ours.
School Teacher Married.
Miss Carrie Gordon, one of the
teachers in the Bamberg graded
school, was married last Wednesday
afternoon at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, in this city, to
Mr. W. M. Richardson, of Orangeburg.
The marriage was a very
quiet affair, only a few persons be- j
ing present. Rev. T. G. Herbert, I
pastor of Trinity Methodist church,
was the officiating minister. Shortly
after the ceremony the young
couple left in an automobile for
Orangeburg, their future home.
The marriage was a great surprise
to everybody in Bamberg.
The Voting Contests.
The voting contests for the handsome
doll and the tool chest, which
have been going on at The Herald n:
Book Store, closed last Friday night ai
at ten o'clock. Considerable inter- o
est was taken in the contests, and
the voting was right lively, although h
many customers did not vote for any p,
one. Little Miss Louise Kilgus,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kil-i ai
gus, won the doll, and little Kenrv ! p
Frederick Bamberg. Jr., only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg, got e1
the tool chest. The children generally
are interested in these contests, a:
and while the scheme is not merely
a money-making one. it gives us ai
pleasure to know that we make the
winners glad at Christmas. We will tl
therefore continue the custom, and
next Christmas our prizes will be
handsomer than ever.. ?

5? Is there a wounded conscience am
ecause we have dishonored the
icred name connected with the day .
i the far too common revelries and mi
idulgencies of these occasions? Ba
ave our hearts been stirred with im
mewed gratitude to God for his ^oi
nspeakable gift that gave a new
ilish for worship on last Sunday?
r have our thoughts been more of we
irselves, relations and friends? vie
he congregations last Sunday would ^
idicate a large percentage of the _
,tter.
The pastor's subject Sunday morn- an<
ig was: "The Sunset of a Great ba<
hristian Life and Career." It was
fitting close of our studies in the
fe and Epistles of the Apostle Paul. .
At night his theme was, "The Sun- P*8
se of the Greatest j-ife that has att
rer dawned on the world." This rU!
as looking forward toward the *
inday-school studies for next year.
On account of the smallness of the
mgregatioins last Sunday, the roi
hristmas offering for the old 0f
eachers was deferred until next
inday. Hope all will bear in mind

r Great Need of Stable Manure. sel
The old fields do not produce good
ops, because, among other things,
ey are deficient in available plant f
ods. We must add something to
,ese soils. To add commercial ferlizers
to soils so deficient in humus
anC
so poorly prepared that they will
)t hold sufficient water to dissolve
e plant food so the crops can take
up, is never the most profitable. ^
id frequently means actual financial
5S. For building up these old fields,
T)or
e first need is stable manure, to ^
pply the means of maintaining that
irm lite which is essential to a fer- iJ
rr,^ r , SUU
e soil. The growing of legumes .
ust always be given second place,
llsss conditions are such that they
/ sta1
ust be used as a substitute for,
not
ther than a supplementary to. sta- ^
e manure. Commercial fertilizers
ould be used not only to enable us
grow better legume crops, but also j
supplement the plant foods fur- ia j
shed by the legumes, for the grow- hjn
g of larger yields of staple crops yea
ch as corn and cotton.
On most Southern soils all these fjv
urces of supplying plant foods to fac
e old fields should be used, but in cra

WHITE MAN LYNCHED.
id Killed Another Man and Wounded
His Wife.
Hurley, Va., Dec. 26.?Following
3 killing here on Christmas Eve of
muel Baker and the serious woundl
of his wife and two children by
i former's enemy, Henry Penning1,
a mob of one hundred citizens
e last night took Pennington from
improvised jail, where he had
sn incarcerated under heavy guard,
d hanged him to a steam pipe.
Pennington, who had teen drinkpicked
a quarrel with Baker and
3t him while the latter was on his
,y to a Sunday-school Christmas
:e with his wife, his two children
d a friend, Wyatt Meadows. See;
that he had killed Baker, Penlgton
started to run away. Mrs.
ker called after Pennington and
plored him to help her take the
ay home.
The ruse worked and Pennington
nt back to the spot where his
tim lay aeaa. Bent upon aveng;
the dead, Mrs. Baker grabbed
nnington's pistol from his pocket
3 shot twice at him. Her aim was
3, but she succeeded in wounding
n in the hand and thigh. PenLgton
recovered possession of the
tol and then shot the woman and
empted to kill Meadows, who was
ming away, it is alleged, and the
o children.
Pennington then fled, but was surinded
by a posse on the outskirts
the town later in the night. He
s captured after an exchange of
)ts with the officers, who badly
unded him. Being too weak to
nd the journey to the Grundy jail,
;een miles distant, over mountain3
country, Pennington was locked
in the constable's house, but
:>ut 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
was thought advisable to remove
n to a boarding house, where he
s put under a strong guard.
Feeling against Pennington ran
jh, and many covert threats of
iching were heard during the day.
st midnight a band of about one
ndred citizens was quietly organd,
the guard was overpowered and
nnington was taken to the engine
>m of a lumber mill, nearby, and
aged to a steam pipe. The body
s riddled with bullets, and was
in left hanging until 9 o'clock this
rning, when it was cut down.
Baker's funeral was held to-day,
t his wife was too badly wounded
attend. Baker was a son-in-law
"Aunt Betty" Justice, and a brothin-law
of George Meadows, two
the victims of the famous sextuple
:rder here several months ago, for

to die in the electric chair on

The supreme court holds that coral
punishment of a convict uncircumstances

t that our farmers are fertilizer

Id be devised that would make
d that poor yield a fair crop all at
:e. It did not get poor all at once,
I it is not going to get rich all at
:e, no matter how much fertilizer
i waste on it. Better put it in
.s and let them die on the land
1 turn them under and sow rye
1 turn that under in the spring
I then with a fair application of
isphoric acid and potash the land
I make more corn. Then by sowpeas
among it and following with
iter oats, and the oats with peas,
i may gradually get the wasted

lowing a good rotation ol crops
