The Bamberg graded school and the Carlisle Fitting School resumed exercises Tuesday. v. There was a good crowd in town last Monday, it being the first Monday in the month and salesday. s * The town is right lively these days, with people buying and making business arrangements for this year. * The rain of Sunday and Sunday night made the streets mighty sloppy Monday. What a pity that we can't pave our main business street at least. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the Southeastern Life Insurance Company in this issue. This is a South Carolina company, and good agents are wanted. . Mr. M. Moye and family, who have been living at Cope for the past year, moved back to town last week. Their many friends are glad to have them as residents again. Mr. L. B. Fowler has resigned his position at the oil mill, and has gone into the contracting business. He will contract for all classes of buildings complete. See his card in this issue. P ' All the papers in the matter of ? i 1 . . , . annexing warren townsnip 10 camberg county have been sent to Gov-' ernor Ansel, and it is supposed that he will order an election on the question at an early date. Miss Ollie Dobson, who has been spending the holidays with her par% , ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Dobson, returned to Bamberg yesterday to resume her duties as teacher in the graded school at that place.?Gaffney y Ledger. J. F. Carter, Esq., district deputy srrand chancellor of this district, went to Denmark Monday night to attend I the meeting of Denmark lodge Knights of Pythias. The new officers were installed and an oyster supper was enjoyed. Now that the time for appointment is near at hand, interest in the solicitarship of the second circuit is reviving. There are a number of applicants for the position, and it is likely that Mr. Byrnes will soon tender his resignation. The Palace Cafe has moved into the old Herald building, formerly occupied by the grocery store of E. "Li. Price. Jr.. & Co.. and Mr. Price (! has moved into the store formerly occupied by the restaurant, the two simply changing places. An advertiser wrote us as follows a few days ago: "We have received copy of your issue of December 28th, and wish to compliment you on the splendid sheet you are getting out. We thank you for the good display given our advertisement." Mr. J. J. Simmons and family have moved to town. They are occupying the residence of Mrs. M. E. Bamberg at present, on the street, in rear of Mr. C. R. Brabham's residence. We understand, however, that Mr. Simmons will build later on his lots near Mr. H. J. Brabham's. Mrs. W. W. Stewart, who has made her home in Anderson for the last seven years and during that time has been at the head of the dressmaking : department of the C. F.

Move's many friends will be glad to learn that he is back in Bamberg again, and has accepted the position of manager of Herndon's grocery store. Mr. Move is a born groceryman and has had a number of -years' experience in the business. ^ That he will make a fiiie success of the, business is assured, and Herndon's will no doubt be one of the befit grocery stores in this section. Mrs. B. A. W. Rowell died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. J. Hughes, at S'.eadman. last Saturday. She had been sick for several months, and her death was not unexpected. The body was brought here Monday .evening and interred at Restland cemetery by the side of her husband, who died here last year. Mrs. Rowell v^as'seventy-one years old, and leaves several chldren and grand chldren. This newspaper is under many obligations to the various friends who have written for our columns during the past year, either news or on matters of general public interest. We trust that those who have written for us during 1910 will continue to write during this year and write > oftener. We are always glad to publish NEWS matter or items of general interest. But we cannot promise to publish articles which will not interest our readers, and of course the editor must be the judge of what his readers want. > . Meet the auditor at his appointments and make your tax returns. Mr. H. G. Delk has opened a market in the building below the postoffice. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kinard, of Ehrhardt, have moved to town and taken charge of the boarding house opposite the depot. Xew Advertisements. Jones Bros.?Still Another Load. G. Frank Bamberg?Horses and Mules. L. B.

S. engineer, has made his report on the matter of opening the South fork of the Edisto river to navigation, and he recommends in his report that no action be taken in the matter until such time as the improvement of the Edisto river is authorized, and that the two propositions be considered together. This of course was to be expected, as there would be no earthly use to improve the South Fork of the river to the railroad bridge, unless the river below this point was cleaned out. We feel sure, however, that in case the unfavorable report made on the first proposition is reversed, that the South Fork will also be improved. A hearing in the matter took place in Washington yesterday, and if the outcome is favorable, we people on this side can expect a favorable report on the South Fork. Capt. Adams has sent out the following circular letter, it being dated at Charleston December 30th: "I am directed by the chief engineers, U. S. army, to inform you that the preliminary examination of South Fork Edisto river to Guginard's landing, as required by the river and harbor act approved June 25, 1910, has been made; that the report submitj ted recommends the improvement of I South Fork be considered only in connection with the improvement of Edisto river, that.no action upon improvement of South Fork be taken until such improvement of Edisto river shall have been authorized and accomplished, that action be then taken only if further preliminary examination shows better prospect of development of steamboat traffic. "You are further notified that all interested parties have the privilege of an appeal from this conclusion to the board of engineers for rivers and harbors, a permanent body sitting at Washington, D. C., to which all examinations and survey reports of this character are referred. Parties desiring to do so may be heard on appeal by the board, either orally ?-? * ?- ?TT7MHIAM A/\vm*VII ur ill writing. written v;v^uuiaiuni^a.tions should be addressed to the board of engiheers for rivers and harbors, rooms 507-510, Colorado building, Washington, D. C., and should be mailed in time to be in possession of the said board within three weeks from the date of this communication. If oral hearings are desired, dates for the same may be arranged for by correspondence with the board." _ Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Peoples Bank was held at the banking house Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. The report of the officers showed the affairs of the institution to be in a healthy condition. A satisfactory dividend was declared and a neat sum added to the surplus and undivided profits. The same directors were re-elected: H. C. Folk, C. B, Free, J. J. Simmons, Jones A. Williams, Jno. F. Folk, N. P. Smoak and W. P. Riley. The directors then met and reelected the following officers: H. C. Folk, president; Jones A. Williams, vice-president; W. P. Riley, cashier; N. P. Smoak, assistant cashier. Church Burned Buring Services. Manchester, N. H., Jan. 1.?In the midst of the morning service at the Marrimac Street Baptist church today a fire broke out that practically destroyed the structure but the congregation that crowded the building nied out m sarety witnout tne sngniest sign of a panic. Rev. N. L. Colbie, the pastor, was 'delivering his sermon when volumes of smoke poured up through the registers and the crackle of flames was heard. The pastor calmly gathered up the notes of his sermon and dismissed the congregation. Hardly had the last person filed out when the flames burst up through the floors. The structure was ruined. The loss is estimated at $25,000, on which there is insurance of $16,000. DEPUTIES HELD FOR MURDER. Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict in Chitwood Lynching Case.

Rutherford and Murray are both deputies to the present sheriff, a brother of the man Chitwood was charged with killing. They will be |held pending the action of the grand jury. BRILLIANT WEDDING. Miss Lncile Folk and Mr. J. Caldwell Guilds Married. Last Wednesday evening at six o'clock in Trinity Methodist church, took place the most interesting social event of the season?this wa3 the wedding of Miss Lucile Folk to Mr. J. Caldwell Guilds, both being popular alike in social circles and prominent in the league and church work, and Bamberg had been looking with expectancy to this happy event. Ever-beautiful Trinity had been transformed into a perfect bower of loveliness under the tasty supervision of Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg, ably assisted by Mrs. Jones A Williams. The alter rail and dress circle about the pipe organ were entwined with garlands of green; candelabra stood at convenient spots, and myriads of tiny pink tapers dotted the railing, with great jars of ferns and palms on the terminating posts. One immense arch towered over the rostrum. This arch was studded with pink electric lights, all entwined with forget-me-nots of the same shade, and from it hung a portiere of smilax gracefully held back at each side by clusters of the pink flowers. Back of this portiere of vines was erected a minature altar of white dotted with numerous pink candles, and there this happy couple met and were married, the bride being attended by her sister, Miss Leonard Folk, and the groom with his best man, Rev. Edward K. Hardin, of Rock Hill, Rev. T. G. Herbert officiating. The bride was resplendent in a handsome eown of white duchess satin entrain with garnitures of lace and pearls. The maid of honor, Miss Leonard Folk, wore an exquisite creation of pink satin. The maids were daintily clad in lingerie dresses. The ushers were Messrs. Bowman Still, Gerard Weissinger, E. H. Weissinger, of Blackville, and M. W. Brabham, of Bamberg. The attendants were Misses Genevieve Kirsch, Franke Folk,, Linnie Riley, Catherine Carter, of Dillon, Jane Purdy, of Sumter, Myra Hooton, Annie Lou Byrd, Hilbernia Counts, and Messrs. D. L. Betts, Glenn Greer, of Spartanburg, R. D. Guilds, H. N. Folk, Bissell Beach, P. Stokes Connor, of Branchville, Wesley Crum, and J. B. Guess, Jr., of Denmark. Rare and beautiful music was dispensed previous to the arrival of the bridal party by Misses Elise and Kate Rentz, young daughters of Mr. C. W. Rentz, and Miss Elise also played the wedding marches, and some soft sweet refrain during the ceremony. A delightful reception was given at the home of the bride's parents after the marriage, the bridal party and relatives only being present. The guests were charmingly received there hy Mrs. E. H. and Mrs. ^Gerard Weissinger. A costly array 6f gifts in cut glass, china, and silver attest the popularity of this young couple. Miss Lucille is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Folk, of this city, and Bamberg relinquishes to the care of Mr. Guilds, one of her very fairest, best, and sweetest. Mr. Guilds is the headmaster of the Carlisle Fitting School of this place, a young man of sterling worth and most excellent Christian character on/1 rire nno/lint o n/I txrioVi fnr tVlic vVi y uau ?* v | i vuivv uiiu niou &vi well-mated pair many long years of usefulness and happiness. Baptist Church News and Notices. Happy and prosperous new year to all! Rev. Cullom, of Allendale, gave us two good sermons on Christmas day, and enjoyed his visit to Bamberg. Pastor Frier returned from Allendale Friday morning and filled his pulpit Sunday morning, preaching an appropriate new year sermon. There was no service at the Baptist church Sunday night, as pastor and congregation worshipped with the Methodist people in honor of the new pastor, Rev. W. H. Hodges. The same standing committees of last year were reappointed for the ensuing year without change, at the conference Sunday. Bro. J. A. Hunter was received into the church Sunday from the Hunter's Chapel church. Mrs. Rowell, who membership is with us, and whose husband was buried in the old cemetery a year or more ago, and whose son, Eugene, died in Jacksonville, Fla., some time after, was buried last Monday evening beside her husband in the old cemetery. The bright faces of our college girls are missed from our town and congregation again this week, they having returned to their several schools first of the week. Mrs. Frier returned from Allendale Sunday evening, rather surprising and delighting a certain lonesome preacher here. The ladies of the Woman's Missionary Society are observing the week of prayer for missions this week. For all the news all the time, read The Bamberg Herald. You cannot invest a dollar to better advantage. 4 , FOUND DEAD IN BED. Joshua Ashley, Champion Walker of Barnwell, Ends His March. Barnwell, Dec. 30.?Joshua Ashley, known all over this section as "Shug," Barnwell county's champion long distance walker, was found dead in bed at his home about eight miles from Barnwell, yesterday morning. A man of unusual physical strength, his powers as a pedestrian were truly marvelous and many tales, some of them almost incredible, are told of his endurance. It is said A V\ /N llf A ? Of.? ^ LLIdt lie naiRCU 1UIU AUgU&lil I rum his home, a distance of some 40 miles, one morning, from there out into the country 10 or 12 miles, danced all night and returned home the next day, showing very little signs of fatigue. He is also credited with having left Elko one morning and at sundown walked into Charleston, a distance of some 100 miles. At another time he was on his way to Blackville when he was overtaken by a gentleman riding in a buggy. When invited to a "lift," he replied that as he was "in a hurry he would walk on." Once, while the guest of a friend living 20 miles from his home, he offered to help his host shingle a house. Leaving for home to get his hatchet, he told his friend that he would be back for dinner. True to his promise when the noon hour arrived, Mr. Ashley walked in with the hatchet in his hand. Mr, Ashley was 74 years old when he died. BUSINESS LOCALS. WANTED:?Four young men boarders. -MRS. J.

New York, Dec. 31.?West 179th street was a river of flame for half a mile last night. A truck that carries gasoline for the public park lamps, spilled several barrels into the street. They burst and the gasoline flowed down hill for 10 blocks. Small boys set the stream afire and in five minutes the flames had climbed to the bottom of the hill. It blazed fiercely for fifteen minutes. Nobody was hurt and no damage was done, but the spectacle drew a large crowd. V> ' 33^ SPECIAL NOTICES. || Advertisements Under This Head 25c.
