Miss Mabel Webber, who had typhoid fever during the summer, is not yet well to teach.and Miss Belle Coon (er has charge of her grade. It is expected that Miss Webber will be here next week. Last Thursday and Friday were record breaking days at the ginning plant of the Cotton Oil Company in this city. During those two days they ginned 202 bales, which is breaking all records for ginning in this part of the country. It is expected that the ginning plants of the company here will gin at least 5,000 bales this season. Our subscribers are rallying to our - support on the increase in the sub's scription price of The Herald. They all appreciate the fact that we cannot publish the paper at a dollar any longer, on account of the increase in expenses. We have not lost a single subscriber, many are renewing at the new rate, and we have put on a lot V of new names during the past week. Mr. J. Frank Fooshe, wh<5 has been the editor of the Fairfield News and Herald for about eleven years, has given up newspaper work on account of his health, and he is succeeded as editor by Mr. C. W. McCants. Mr. Fooshe formerly taught in the Carlisle Fitting School, and has many friends here, who will regret to learn of the condition of his ' v health. Superintendent Wassum, of the Charleston division of the Southern Railway, spent a short time in the city Monday. While - here we discussed the matter of the railroad crossings on Railroad Avenue, and he assured us he would have proper crossings put in as soon as possible. In fact he was mighty nice about it, and promised to see that the matter was attended to without delay. Miss Josie Pratt left this morning for Denmark where she will teach. ?Greenwood Journal. We learn that in some towns below here fifteen cents per bushel is being paid for cotton seed while in Bamberg the price pai^ was twentyfive cents a bushel.

Confederate Monument. A representative of the company -which is erecting the Confederate monument here, arrived in the city this week and vftll begin at once the work of finishing the erection of the monument. It will be remembered that the base was finished some months ago. The statue is here as well as all the other parts, and it is expected that the work will begin this week. The monument will be unveiled some time the latter part of next month, and preparations are already under way to make the occasion a great day for Bamberg. There will be an address by a prominent speaker, and the program will be interestine. Mayor's Court. Mayor Smoak had several white women before him Monday morning as a result of a Sunday night row. Chief Hand wad called out of bed about nine o'clock Sunday night to arrest the women. They were Alice Thomas, Pearl Shuler, and Agnes Gillam, being charged with keeping a disorderly house and drunkenness. Alice Thomas, was given a fine of $15 or twenty days, and she paid up.

The house of J. J. Brabham, a negro, situated just outside of the city limits, was burned Ijjonday of last week. He sayk that the house contained five rooms and was insured for $300, with $250 insurance on the furniture. The fire broke out about 11 o'clock in the morning, and much of the furniture was damaged in moving, while a portion of the household goods were destroyed. Brabham says the fire originated from the kitchen stove flue. The house was to have been sold xne nrsc iviuiiuay 111 wiuucr uuuci mortgage to the Peoples Building & JLoan Association, but the sale has been withdrawn, as the house was insured in favor of the association. A New Physician Comes. Dr. H. J. Stuckey, of Bishopville, Lee county, was in the city last week prospecting for a location, and he liked Bamberg so well that he decided to locate here for the practice of his profession. He came in this week, and will make Bamberg his home. We are delighted to welcome him. There is room in Bamberg for all good citizens. v J : ' Contract Signed. At last it seems tliat the Southern Railway is going to install electric lights in the passenger station. Last week the contract for the lights was signed by A. W. Knight, chairman of the commissioners of public works, and the. railroad authorities, and it is their intention to hurry the matter as rapidly as possible, so they say. This will be good news to the traveling public, for the station has been without adequate lights for a long time. The board of public works has been after the railroad, for several y^rs about this light matter, and naturally they are gratified that at last their efforts are to meet with success.

Car Load of Horses. -r> 1 J ??A1T ? Jones jpru?. itteivcu iook. wvcn. a car load of mighty nice horses. They were bought in the largest horse market in the world, and were selected with great car?. This lot will amply sustain the reputation of this live firm for furnishing fancy driving horses, and it will pay you to see them quick. They also have a nice lot of mules on hand, also buggies and wagons. See them for live stock and vehicles. Platform Being Enlargeck The large amount of cotton coming to Bamberg this season has made the enlargement of the cotton platform at the depot necessary, and this work is now being done. It will be remembered that the enlarging Tiroa aoVoH fnr o few WfvplfB a en hv n<M3 ooavu aw* u> *v ?? ?, ? 0w the cotton buyers, and Superintendent Wassum was prompt in complying with their request. Let the railroad pursue this sort of policy all the time, and they will have less complaints. ^ The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg today at eleven cents the pound, the price having gone down in the last few days. The receipts at this point are very heavy, wagons coming in from every direction, as the buyers here are paying more than at other towns in this section, and in fact more than in most towns of the State. The record shows that the Bamberg market has been away ahead all the season, and as a consequence lots of cotton is being hauled here from a distance. Judge DeVore in the sessions court at Orangeburg on Tuesday fined one blind tiger $250 and another $100. They were both white and had pleaded guilty. i . / IMPORTANT NOTICE. On and after this date the subscription price of The Bamberg Herald is $1.50 a year. Persons who have paid in advance for the paper will not be affected by the change in price until the time they have paid for expires. Of course we could not change the rate on them after they had made a contract with us to furnish the paper at $1.00 a year and had paid for it. The newT rate will apply to new subscriptions and old snhsrriotions as they expire. The rate now is $1.50 a year, 75 cents for six months, or 50 cents for three months. Please remember this. Subscriptions must be paid in advance. This increase in price is made necessary by the advance in everything which enters into our business, and we cannot publish such a paper as The Herald at one dollar a year and live. Our expenses have gone up more than fifty per cent, and a dollar paper is no longer possible. The Herald is worth $1.50, too. It is all printed at home, and gives more reading matter *than any weekly in this section, and we feel sure that none of our readers will object to the increase in price, but that all will realize the justice and necessity of it. , } U. D. C; Chapter Meeting. The members of the U. D. C. Chapter were entertained at the hospitable home of Mrs. Jno. Cooner last Tuesday afternoon. After two months of inactivity it was a pleasure to come together and enter with new vigor and ardor into the work which is now of all-absorbing interest to the Daughters of the Bamberg Chepter? the raising of funds for the Confederate monument so soon to be unveiled. This undertaking to raise an , amount sufficient to erect a monument which will be a credit to the town and county, an object of pride to the surviving veterans and to the loved ones of those soldiers who have gone on before, and an inspiration to the childrell of coming generations, has been 'no mere child's play. This band of patriotic women, led and aroused into, enthusiasm whenever their spirits flagged, by their president, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, whose , enthusiasm never wanes, has managed to raise a goodly sum. But $900 is still necessary before the last payment can be made, and on the , loyal patriots?men and women?of our town and county, they must depend for help in raising this amount. Right generously has every appeal ben met, but some have given nothing as yet, others have promised to increase their subscriptions when the monument had been erected. To these this appeal is directed; a bountiful harvest has been given us, and now, if ever, each citizen is able to do his part. Pay your subscriptions directly to Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, or, if more convenient to those coming in from the country, to Mr. A. W. Knight. He will be glad to receive them and give you credit for the amount. Remember that history demands the erection of these monuments, for in ; coming years out glorious past < would be unknown but for their imperishable record. This monument, our tribute to our lauetu neroes, will soon be erected. Can you feel satisfied in years to come if you shirk ; your duty and have no part in its < erection? ^ 1 The unveiling ceremonies will be ; held some time in the latter part of October, the day will be given in our , next issue. This is going to be the day which will go down into the annals of the history of Bamberg. We want not only the whole of Bamberg to have part in.it but the surrounding country, and all of our firends throughout the State. Miss Huey Will Wed. Invitations have been received here to the wedding reception of Miss Jessie Huey, which will take place next Wednesday evening, September 27th. The invitations read as follows: "Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Huey * no xrr\vi *-r\ nroaATlf t. t.tU* Wed ill V ltUO J UU l/V W ^/* vk/vmv w? ??^ .. _ _ ding reception of her daughter, Jessie Ruff, and Mr. John Marvin Cannon, on the evening of Wednesday, the twenty-seventh of September, at 8 o'clock, 530 Marion street, Rock Hill, S. C." Miss Huey will be remembered here as one of the teachers in the graded school. Worth the Price. The Bamberg Herald has raised its subscription price from one dollar to one dollar and a half per annum. This is a wise step on the part of The Herald, and it should be promptly ! responded to by its subscribers. If a newspaper like The Herald is not I worth one dollar and a half per annum we confess that we know nothi ing of newspaper values. All country newspapers now published at one I dollar per annum ought to follow The Herald's example, and raise . their subscription price.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. * Carlisle Fitting School.

Cotton was coming in from every direction, and the crowd of wagons was so greal that the streets were lined with them wailing men lui u lvj get uj wc platform. Over five hundred bales were received here last Saturday. The reason is that Bamberg is paying higher prices than other markets. ?? i ? Reunion of Red Shirts.

Brabham i was put in jail but was later released, ' the warrant being withdrawn. The Rev. objected very strongly to being 5 put in jail, as he said that it would - ruin his reputation, and he begged , the editor of this paper not to pub- * - lish it, as it would injure him in his , work.
