We understand they received fifteen cents the pound. Miss Elise Rentz, a popular student at Brenau college, Gainesville, Ga., has just returned from Indianapolis, Ind., where she attended the Mu Phi Epsilon convention. H. G. Askins, Esq., of Lake City, who has formed a partnership with OH. M. Graham, Esq., for the practice of law, has arrived in the city. We welcome him as a resident of Bamberg. We understand that the figure for the Confederate monument will be shipped in about a month. It is proposed to have the unveiling ceremonies when the figure is in position f and the monument complete. A base ball team composed of Fitting School and town boys went to Denmark Monday afternoon and played a game with the boys of that town. Denmark was victorious, the score standing fourteen to four. Mrs. Douglas Richardson, after spending several weeks in the city with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Corbett, left last Tuesday to join her husband at Denmark, where they are now making their home.?Camden News. jfe The railroad project is now in fine I shape, all preliminaries having been settled. The work of grading will begin this week between Bamberg : > ? and Ehrhardt. It is proposed to carry the line on to Denmark, but the road from this place to Ehrhardt will be completed first. Miss Ollie Lee Dobson, one of the teachers in the Bamberg graded school, who has been re-elected for next year, was last week elected a teacher in the city schools of Columbia. We understand, however, that she will not accept the Columbia position, but will remain in Bamberg next year. In another column will be found S,.. the notice of mass meeting of the tVa Pomharc cnhnnl H iR uuyajcio ui iuc wnui VVMWV* . trict, the meeting to be held in the city hall Thursday afternoon, June 1st, at 4 o'clock. This meeting is for the purpose of electing one trustee and to fix the levy for school purposes for the coming year. Mrs. E. J. Wannamaker, Mrs. R. E. Wannamaker, Mrs. R. H. Jen* ~ - nxngs, Mrs. L. S. Wolfe, Misses Alma and Kathleen Wannamaker formed > a pleasant party which went to Bamberg yesterday to be present at the laying of the corner stone of the Confederate monument at that place.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. The minstrel performers of the Orangeburg Military band which was repeated at Bamberg last Friday night was said to be even better than the performance here. And that is saying a great deal. Our boys were greeted with a packed house, and the Bamberg people treated them royally.?Orangeburg Sun. We have received a ieuer irum Prof. D. N. Barrow, of Clemson college, stating that while the authorities will spend a good deal of time this summer operating their live stock train, they have no idea of neglecting the regular farmers' institutes, and it will facilitate his work very materially if sections desiring these institutes will make application as promptly as possible. If the farmers of Bamberg county want an institute this summer, they should make application at once. In discussing the population of the town of Bamberg as shown by the recent census, it should be remembered that when the census was taken both the cotton mill and oil mity were closed down and most of the operatives with their families had moved out of town. We understand the enumerator stated that he had only about 70 cotton mill people on his list, while our cotton mill population is nearly 400. This alone would make our population several hundred more than the census gives us. The proprietor of The Herald, as J well as* the proprietors of the Mayflower Inn, appreciate very much the kind words from the Edgefield Advertiser in reference to these Bamberg institutions. Brother Mims is exactly right in reference to the Mayflower Inn, and this hostelry enjoys a deservedly fine reputation among the traveling public. But we'll never forgive Brother Mims if he ever comes to Bamberg again without letting us know he is in town. We would have been delighted to show him some attention as well as what a fine town Bamberg really is, but he got out of town without our seeing him. s The children of the Bamberg graded school contributed about $34 to the Confederate monument fund. The contest is getting interesting. Get busy, get in the lead and stay there is the way to win. Remember every new subscription or renewal counts 3.000 votes. While the cotton mill is closed down a lot of improvements are being made and new machinery installed. \V? understand that 76 new looms are to be installed. Mr. J. J. Simmons was taken sudrioniv ill last week, and at this time he is doing as well as could be expected. He has a very large number of friends in this community, who hope for his early recovery. it has taken some time to work out" all the details of the railroad proposition, but it is all now settled and the work of grading the line will commence at once. Most of the rights of way have been secured. Mr. Miles O'Riley, who has been here taking photographs for several weeks, leaves to-day. He goes from here to Lake City. Mr. O'Riley is not only a good photographer but he is a thoroughly honorable gentleman. He does conscientious work, and we commend him to the people in any town he visits. Headmaster J. C. Guilds spent last Sunday and Monday at and near Es - - - - * a _ /? 11 i ;_i _ till, in tne interest or tne uarnsie Fitting School. He attended the dedication of a church on Sunday, and enjoyed the occasion very much. He states that the Fitting School will have some students from that section next session. Rev. E. K. Hardin, now a professor in Wofford college and pastor of St. John's Methodist church at Rock TT*'> - J ? 1 * ~ mil, is to oe marneu iical uiuum cw Miss Kate Glenn, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Lyles Glenn, of Chester. Mr. Hardin formerly taught in the Fitting School here, and has many friends in Bamberg. The Herald is not bragging much on its neat appearance these days. For some weeks we have been using a very poor quality of paper, and this week we used some of the poorest printing ink we ever saw\ We are : nnt miif?h nn pxnpriments. anvway. and experimenting with paper and | ink is something we will not do in the future. Mr. O'Riley took a photograph of j all the old soldiers who were here last Wednesday at the corner stone laying exercises, and there were about sixty old Confederates in the j group. Mr. O'Riley wants to give every old soldier in the group a copy of the picture free of charge. Any of those in the group who. did not give him their name and address but who want a picture can get one by dropping him a card at North, S. C. The young men of the city are taking steps to organize a band. The boys seem very much in earnest, and we hope they will organize with ' * ' ' tne determination to suck wgciuw and have a creditable musical organization. They can do it if they try, but they must stick together and work. It will take much practice to ^perform creditably, and every one who joins should go in with the determination that the Bamberg band shall be a good one. There is likely to be a primary department at the Carlisle Fitting School next year. Several gentlemen in tc^wn have spoken to Headmaster Guilds about the matter, and he has said if a sufficient number of pupils were guaranteed the primary department would be added. Several have signed the list promising to send their children, and if a sufficient number sign the agreement, a teacher will be employed. The new department will use the present music room of the main building. The 'old soldiers of the county have certainly taken an interest in n PftTifarforofa mnnnm#nt Onp tUV/ WU1VUVIUVV AUVUUAMVMVt "V old veteran who cannot walk without crutches and who is not well I otherwise, came to the exercises last Wednesday, although he had come lying on a mattress in the bottom of a wagon. The wagon was drawn up near the court house, and he took a deep interest in all the exercises, even getting up and painfully making his way to the group so as to be in the picture of the old veterans taken by O'Riley. In order to change the address of a subscriber, we must have the old as wrell as the new address. Right now we have on our mailing hook a postal card from a subscriber who asks that his paper be changed to Bamberg, and yet we cannot change it, for we do not know his old address. For instance: if your paper is now going to Ehrhardt, in writing to have it changed, you would say please change my paper from Ehrhardt to Bamberg. Please remember to always give your old address and thus save delay and disappointment in not getting your paper promptly. Remember that The Herald has several hundred names on its list, and we cannot remember each individual subscriber. The Woman's Home Mission Society will meet next Tuesday afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock, in the ladies' pai^or of the Methodist church. The Fitting School base ball team played a game with the Cope team Tuesday afternoon, and the Fitting School won. We did not get the score. > ? A ir ?~ .Mrs. .m. a. Aearse, a iiiguiv i cspec-ted lady of the Kearse section, died Tuesday of this week. The burial took place yesterday afternoon at the Dickinson burying ground near Buford's Bridge. Mrs. Kearse was eighty-six years old, and was the mother of Mr. P. M. Kearse. Fitting School Commencement.

The regular monthly meeting for May of the Francis Marion Bamberg Chapter U. D. C. will be held next Wednesday, the 24th, at half past four o'clock, with Mrs. J. W. Barr and Miss Llewellyn Cleckley at their home on Railroad avenue. The members will be entertained with some real war-time reminiscences of a '"veteran lady" member of the chapter, Mrs. E. R. Hays, who is a most charming story teller. Although feeble in health, she is strong in spirit and one of the most enthusiastic workers for the Confederate memorial for which the chapter is working. And she says that she loves every stone that goes into the monument, for it is a memorial built to do honor to those who "enlisted for life or death and served out his contract, without pay and on half rations." At an executive committee meeting held last Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium of the court house a motion was voted to extend thanks to the Denmark band for the excellent numbers contributed to the program of the tenth. The chapter thoroughly appreciates the band's goodness in such a contribution, and everybody enjoyed the music. WW Build Hotel. Spartanburg, May 13.?E. B.

Beautiful Exercises Held in Bamberg on Memorial Day. Wednesday of last week was memorial day in Bamberg, and it was fittingly celebrated by the laying of the corner stone of the handsome Confederate monument which is now being erected on the court house square, this work being carried to success through the efforts of the F. M. Bamberg Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy. The exercises commenced at 11 o'clock, Senator J. B. Black being master of ceremonies. A fervent prayer was offered by Rev. W. n federate soldier. u?? V V*. Vf v*,, The presence of the Denmark brass band, which rendered several pieces during the program, was appreciated very much. The ladies of the chapter served dinner free to all old soldiers in the court house, and the dinner, which was a most excellent one, was well patronized by others, so that about $60 for the monument fund was derived from this source. The next great day in Bamberg will be when the monument is unveiled. / Farmers' Union Meeting. Ehrhardt, S. C., May 8, 1911. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?
