The millinery openings take place next Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. M. O'Riley, the photographer, arrived in town last Monday for a stay of several weeks. Congressman Jas. F. Byrnes has contributed $10.00 to the prizes for the boys' corn club in this county. Spring is coming, and it is high time we were having a regular "clean-up day." The way to keep down sickness is to keep your premises clean. <cV- . It is not long until the town election, but candidates are very shy, and our people generally do not seem to be taking much interest in the matter. If the people of Bamberg don't v . , take some interest in the matter, it seems that the municipal election will go by default. The election is only * few weeks off. The train from Charleston to Bamberg last Saturday night took about four hours to travel 76 miles. Evidently the Southern Railway - needs more efficient management. K The graded school children had ? holiday last Friday, as Superintendent Allen and the teachers had gone to Columbia to attend the meeting ;|p of the State Teachers' Association. We understand that Mr. W. G. Hoffman will soon commence the erection of a handsome brick residence on New Bridge street, between S-S; Messrs. R. L. Risher and J. J. Simmons. Mr. S. W. Copeland is now president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank at Ehrhardt, he having been recently elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. J. M. Kirkland. p;~' Next Monday is the first Monday v hi the month and salesday. Only H one public sale is to take place. The v Master will sell the house and lot on fe ^ lower Main street, known as the J. fS ^ Hughes place. Pastor Frier, of Bamberg, is in the ^ Nmidst of a series of sermons on | Amos. We would like very much to Hfe hear them. When we read that a |jp: pastor is "going through" one of the minor prophets we envy his people. i*r.: ? D?i>UBl VjUUl 1C1 . If the people of Bamberg want day III eurrent, they can get it after the new |p engine and generator is installed. All they have to do is to satisfy the comg. v. mlssioners of public works that day pi . current will pay expenses, for they Ipfe. will not run it at a loss. Chief of Police S. A. Hand has jfr been in charge of a force of hands ?; r for the past week or more, cleaning " out the main ditch which drains the town. This ditch runs through town gand down into Lemon Swamp. He kv has also cut a new ditch, and he states that the work will be worth a lot to the town in the matter of |i|>^ .health. 1 Trash Cans on Street. Ife- Wednesday afternoon of last week there were placed on the streets a number of trash cans. Several are V on the main business street, and it is hoped our people will use them and ^ thus avoid the heretofore unsightly .; appearance of the street caused by papers and trash being strewed around promiscuously. The ladies i|- of the civic league bought a dozen of these cans and had them put on ' .the streets, and they are to be con;' gratulated on this forward step toward clean streets. But the cans are worthless unless they are used. ORDLEY Speaks to the Ladies. / Dear Madam: By Saturday I will be ready to serve you; bring the chilli...' dren, yours or those that may be , dear to you. Please do not give them any previous practice in posing, as the most successful pictures in child portraiture are the snaps made unawares; a pleasing picture of a self conscious tot is unobtainable. Avoid agrafe: the use of powder, it reflects light, ?riinn?r a off ont to foatiirexs that otherwise would be attractive. Observe the above simple rules, leave balance to baby and I, and results will be pleasing to all. Respectfully, M. O'RILEY. - Case Against Eagles Dismissed. 1 m? Sumter, March 28.?After hearing arguments in the injunction proceedings against the Eagles' club and the Bank of Sumter, lessee of the club rooms, Judge Devore dismissed the case. The grounds were that sufficient evidence to sustain the charge had not been brought out. O'Riley is in town. & m fe". i. ~ ' s New Advertisements. D. R. Matheny?Wanted. S. Yeitrakis?For Sale.

Byrd applies for letters of administration on estate of Jerusha Schrage. New Outfit Purchased. At a meeting of the commissioners of public works held last Friday night, propositions were accepted for a 50 k. w. Westinghouse generator and a 75 h. p. Harrisburg en gine. The engine and generator are direct connected and there will be no belting to the outfit. The engine and generator are to be delivered in eight weeks, which will mean that the outfit will be installed at the power house about the first of June. This will be quite an addition to our present lighting facilities, as it gives an extra engine and generator in case of accident, and the expense of running this smaller outfit will not be so great. In fact it was bought to run the light load of the plant. Want Train Continued. Through the efforts of the business league, a petition was circulated here this week asking the railroad company to extend the train now running from Blackville to Augusta, to Branchville, leaving ithe latter town early in the morning and returning at night, thus giving Bamberg people a good part of the day in Augusta. It is now impossible to go to Charleston, Columbia, or Augusta in the morning and return the same day and have any time in either or tnese cities to transact any business to amount to anything. The railroad certainly should give Bamberg better schedules. A Bank on Wheels. A bank on wheels is the latest in Patterson, N. J. It is fireproof, bulletproof and is also said to be burglarproof, and can travel 50 miles an hour, says The New York Tribune. This auto bank is expected to make radical changes in the banking business, especially in the outlying districts. It is the property of a trust company in this city. The car is fitted with a desk and office equipment, including compartments for books, checks and papers. A solid steel safe is built in one corner of the machine. Officials of the trust company are of the opinion that by sending the car about the country afiumber of depositors would be convenienced, especially those who have no place for keeping caSh or other valuables. m i Lawyers Up Front. Senator William Pierson Fiero of Catskill, N. Y.f was seated with others about the enormous fireplace in Keeler's hotel, Albany, N. Y., on a cold night when he told this story: "I remember 30 years ago when I was a lawyer, there were about 15 or 18 of us?all. lawyers?seated about a fireplace much like this. It was a raw, wet night. A bedraggled stranger, wet to the hide, came in, tried to get accommodations and was tVioro. u-ac nnt n mom lAft Thft nearest other place was a mile away. Shivering, the granger looked at the fire, but we*formed such a solid line about it that he could not get near it. Finally one of the lawyers in a spirit of frivolity, turned to him and said: " 'My friend, are you a traveler?' " 'I am sir. I have been all over the world.' " 'You don't say so! Been in Germany, Egypt, Japan and all the countries in Africa and Asia?' " 'All of them?been everywhere.' " 'Ever been in hell?' " 'Oh, yes, been there twice.' " 'How did you find things there?' " 'Oh, much the same as here? lawyers all next to the fire."?New York Herald. business"locals. x Legal blanks and blank books for sale by The Herald Book Store, Bamberg, S. C.

Where are we at and whither are we drifting? A five million dollar battleship as a target and now lies on the bottom of Chesapeake bay, is the latest news from the front and it sunk by guns considered obsolete and to be replaced by more powerful ones. The ones used at a distance of 6 and 7 miles that pierced solid steel eight inches thick and did the greatest damage on the opposite siae seems like great guns to us in this neck of the woods, but to the knowing ones are too weak to do battle with the great dreadnaughts costing eight and ten millions of dollars now in use by the great navies of the world. Great Scott! Could our forefathers who fought with Perry and oithers of his day wake up and see the modern ships of battle they would feel like 50 cents in a cash vault, but great seventies, a five million dollar target, a voodooed one at that, so costly a few years ago and did service at Santiago, Cuba, is all the good remembered, now a worthless hulk in the bottom of the sea, where an old man of peace-loving qualities in his heart thinks all of its kind should be, and sudden destruction to men or nation who offered to build another. How is this for the tax payer? Soon all the wealth of the nations will be in ships of war, each nation looking with eager eyes to find a weak place in the other felirk-nr'e malra nn anH if fnnnd then the work begins at a safe distance, say 50 or 75 miles, each one sending a wireless to know if the other is hurt much, for it will never do to squan-. der so much in a free fight for all, and only fools rush where angels fear to tread, as at the presenf rate of improvement in explosives nothing will stand in its way. Then there is the air ship soon to sail over every sea, land, and hamlet, and the end of all is not yet, for they can send to destruction perhaps whole fleets, garrisons, or cities in a night. That makes one on the outside see peace, sweet peace, written in the sky, and have little fears for the future. Then men are only grown-up boys at best, and pamper them a little, well wine and dine them, makes the old love of noise and adventure of the boy return and reckless waste and daring deeds one of his greatest hobbies, all under the same strain, it is necessary to keep up with the other fellow if his face rirwaa traf hla/?lr hia trniisors torn, a finger gone, and he has only one suspender left, as he ambles home and to anticipate a parental storm, exclaims: "Gee, didn't we boys have a time!'" and say, "Pop, that package of cannon crackers you gave me -J- iV. VJ ~~? nil nn/4 T UlctUtt tilt; UlggOBi tiuioe UI ail, auu x crowed over Jack Stone because his made no noise at all, and then I had to lick him, and I gave him a good one." Now parental pride forgives all else and the old man slaps his boy on the back and says: "You are a chip offen the old block, my boy, and some day may be president." The boy is made happy, and he is content to live oh scant rations and go barefoot for a month to make up for it. So with the people perhaps, as each one with a spark of love for home and country wants to be on the winning side if a few thousands do go to bed each night supperless. We have had the noise and only five millions thrown away in making it. Then there is more news: An Aiken dispatch says a farmer was driven out to his farm 16 miles in 20 minutes in an aeroplane, settled with his hands and back in no time in the city. Three cheers for the farmer. He will soon be with the best in the land, but one down this way don't like gasoline as a motive power for an aeroplane, and will wait until they learn to use compressed air to. propel it, which will be done he is sure, and there is plenty of it everywhere and won't give out, but the gasoline might and what then? OLD TIMER. Carlisle Commencement. Headmaster J. C. Guilds and the other members of the faculty of the Carlisle Fitting school have already begun preparations for the annual commencement exercises, which are to be held Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, May 27th, 28th, and 29th. The commencement sermon will be preached at Trinity Methodist church by Rev. R. S. Truesdale, pastor of Central Methodist church at Spartanburg, who will also address the Young Men's Christian Association on Sunday evening. Dr. Howard Lee Jones, pastor of the Citadel Square Baptist church, Charleston, will deliver the literary address, and as Dr. Jones is one of the foremost orators, not only in South Carolina, but in the entire South, our people will have an exceptional opportunity in hearing him. Saturday evening, May 27th, j the annual exercises of the literary societies will take place. O'Riley is in town. O'Riley Is In town. Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

That rainy Sunday, March 26th, 1911. We had only about a third of the regular Sunday-school attendance Sunday on account of the rain. Our monthly mission offering was postponed until next Sunday. Let us make it the best missionary offering of the year. Pastor Frier talked to a small congregation on Christ crucified the divine magnet of the gospel. There were no other services during the day on account of the regular unceasing rain. The social committee of the B. Y. P. U. gave a social to the members of the union at the pastorium on ' Friday evening. Quite a crowd attended, and the special feature of the evening was "A walk through the flower garden," which seemed to be ?3 DnfraoViTnontB CnjoytJU vti y muuui ncii^iiuui&uMi were served.

Washington, the negro educator who was attacked and beaten-up in New York last Sunday night after it had been charged he was prowling around the hallway of 16% West 63rd street and for which alleged attack Albert Ulrich, a resident of the apartment house, has waived a preliminary hearing, to-day emphatically declared that he believed Ulrich was justified in attacking him under the circumstances. After making this admission Washington intimated that all future proceedings against Ulrich would be | dropped, but declared this was a j matter to which his lawyers would attend and he could not be sure that they would allow him to retire from the prosecution. ' "In looking upon the attack after seven days from its occurrence," said Washington, "I believe that Mr. Ul| rich was justified in attacking not only me, but any other man under similar circumstances. I was in the hall of the house and was peering at the name plates on the doors in an effort to find one of my business acquaintances. After the charges had been brought I learned that Ulrich ( had a daughter ai^ that several efforts had been male to kidnap her. There seems to be little doubt but that Ulrich thought I might be a kidnaper. If he did he was perfectly justifiable in attacking me. No man could have done otherwise under the circumstances. I have no personal feeling against Mr. Ulrich. To my mind he did the manly thing." "But will you continue the prosecution?" Washington was asked. "That is something I cannot answer. The whole matter is in the hands of my attorneys. They may feel that the case should go to the end to prove that I was not peering through keyholes as has been intimated." Washington spent to-day here as the guest of John S. Durham, a negro lawyer. He also delivered an address at the Broad Street theatre on "The Moral Development of the Race; Obstacles and Progress." He was very cordially received and in the course of his address declared that the negro was an absolute necessity to the white man and 'that they must take their places side by side and co-operate. In closing his address Washington said: "Never until the last few days did I know I had so many warm, ?fm'nn/lo o mnncr ecLiliedL, UC V Wtcu 1UCUUD UJUUVUO wuv white people of the north and south, not to mention the hosts of those of my own race. It has left me with a new feeling for all my fellowmen and better than ever before I can say I have hatred for no man." O'.Riley is in town. O'Riley is in town. CITATION NOTICE.

Savannah, Ga., March .27.?He secured the marriage license 15 months ago and his fiancee has been willing ever since, but the opportunity for them to get together in the presence of a minister or magistrate was lacking, and that was why William Hunter, of Bamberg, S.
