It seems that our people take little
interest in good roads, and yet there
is nothing more important to the
farmers of this county.
Mr. J. T. Griffith has our thanks
for a nice large basket of delicious
1 grapes.% The whole force appreciated
them very much and enjoyed them,

Next Monday is the first Monday in
Ootober and sales day. Some valuable
real estate is to be sold by the
Master and Judge of Probate, advertisements
of which will be found
in this paper.
The Herald -this week is not such a
paper as we would like to send out,
(but it cannot be helped. Our linotype
operator was called home Monday
morning by the serious illness of
*his sister, and in consequence we are
very much handicapped by a short
force.
The statue to the monument was
unloaded Monday and Tuesday and
is being placed in position. The
date of the unveiling is fixed for October
26th, and Senator E. D. Smith
will be the orator of the day. There
should be a large crowd present from
H&': ' over tbe county,

and the Fitting School made a
(contract for lyceum entertainments
this winter. The course will consist
g? of five or six attractions, and will be
an exceptionally fine course. Those
who subscribed for tickets will get
?&, % full value for their money.
We would have printed a 12 page
paper this week had not sickness
necessitated the absence of our linotype
operator. If the business men
of Bamberg will just give us the ads.
we'll print any size paper necessary,
giving a column of reading matter
$pr every column of advertising.
Rev. W. H. Hodges has gone to attend

The trains of the Southern Railway
are running badly behind on this
division these fays. Can't the officials
do something to push them up?
Itis very inconvenient to have to wait i
on the train at night. Besides, if
the train does not arrive before nine
o'clock, the mail is not put up until
j|r the next morning.
We hear some few candidates being
mentioned for county offices .next
summer. It seems to be reasonably
oprtAtTi thai E. C. Bruce will offer for
county supervisor and S. G. Ray for
^ V sheriff. There will no doubt be a
number of candidates for the various
* positions, and an interesting campaign
may be expected.
The Herald management is arranglr?or
frtr annthpr Riihsorintion contest.
jj*' . and we will no doubt announce the
details next week. Valuable prizes
will be given away, and every contestant
will be paid a commission on
the subscriptions she gets, thereby
getting pay for her work whether she
wins a big prize or not. Look out for
details next week.

our customers, we positively cannot
change advertisements later than
Tuesday morning. The copy must be
in the office not later than ten o'clock
Tuesday morning, preferably before.
We hope our advertisers will remember
this and let us have their
copy early, the earlier the better, as
they will get a better display. When
we are rushed in getting to press, we
cannot put as much time on setting
ads. as we would like.

- A Piece of Good Work.
The county chaing gang under Mr.
Kirkland and Chief of Police Hand,
is doing a splendid piece of road
work in a badly needed place. This
week they commenced paying the
town some of the work they owe
and have started into the town limits
on the Cannon Bridge Road coming
up the corner of Second street. The'
road bed is being nicely worked, and
the sidewalk is being improved very
materially. Several spots on the
sidewalk have been impassable in a
rainy spell, the water accumulating
from the road bed and adjoifting
fields. This is being remedied as far
as possible. When this work is completed
the road will be one of the
best drives in town, and it has for a
long while been one of the worst.

A Business Change.
The drug store of Dr. H. F. Hoover
was sold last week to Mr. J. R.
Owens, and it will be conducted by
his son, Mr. J. L. Owens, who is a
graduate druggist and one who has
had years of experience in one of the
largest stores in Alabama. Mr.
Owens comes to us from Birmingham,
Ala., where he was prescriptionist
in a drug store employing
twenty-three men. We are glad to
have Mr. and Mrs. Owens locate
here, as they will be decided additions
to the business and social life
of the city, and the deal also means
that Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Owens will
remain in Bamberg. Dr. Hoover will
devote his entire time to his practice.
The store will be run under
the name of Bamberg Pharmacy.

Damage by Lightning.
" \
The heavy thunder storm of last
Thursday afternoon did considerable
damage in Bamberg. The lightning
was especially vivid, and a bolt
struck the telephone exchange, setting
fire to the office and doing a lot
of damage to the switchboard. The
escape of the young lady operators
was narrow, as they had just left the
switchboard when, the stroke came.
With the aid of fire extinguishers
the flames were soon under control,
but Mrs. Ruth Bamberg came near
sustaining painful burns while pulling
down the asbestos curtain to protect
the board. U

damage to the electric light lfnes.
One transformer was burned up, and
the fusee on several transformers
were blown, causing some patrons to
be without lights Thursday night.
At the house of Dr. F. B. McCrackin
the switch cabinet was torn out, a
hearth torn up, and other damage
done, the electricity coming in on
his light wires. Fortunately no one
at his home was hurt.
Coming Marriage.
Tuesday of next week, at three
o'clock, at the home of the bride's
parents at Kline, Barnwell county, J.
F. Carter, Esq., of this city, and Miss
L<ydia Belle, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs.- B. M. Jenkins, will be married.
Rav. Mr. PhilliDs will officiate. The
ceremony will be a most quiet one,
and there will be no attendants.
Soon after the wedding .the young
couple will leave for a bridal trip of
about ten days, after which they will
be at home to their friends in Bamberg.
They will board at Mr. John
Cooner's, on Railroad Avenue.
Mr. Carter is the senior member
of the firm of Carter & Carter, attorneys
of this city, and is one of the
most prominent lawyers at the local
bar. He is popular in business, social,
and church circles, and his
many friends extend congratulations.
His bride-to-be is a most attractive
young woman, a graduate of Limestone
college, who has many friends
in this county, she having taught
music in the Olar high school last
year. She will be warmly welcomed
to Bamberg.
Ginnery Burned.
The ginnery of Mr. D. Dowling,
situated a few miles from town, was
totally destroyed by. fire Tuesday
night of last week, or rather about
three o'clock in the morning. The
fire originated from a match carelessly
dropped in the seed cotton
which was being ginned, and the
flames spread so rapidly that nothing
could be done to check them. On
account of the rush the gin was running
all night. The loss is about $2,500
with no insurance, which falls
heavily on Mr. Dowling. In addition
to the gin house and machinery, several
bales of cotton and a lot of cotton
seed were burned.
The Cotton Market.
The price of cotton is still going
down, although it is a little higher
than yesterday. The price in Bamberg
to-day is 10 % cents the pound,
and the receipts for the week so far
328 b_les.
Rizer Gets a Car Load.
C. F. Rizer, at Olar, received a car
load of horses and mules Monday of
this week, and if you want to buy or
trade, he is the man you want to see.
This lot of stock was selected with
great care, and is especially suited
to the wants of the people of this section.
He has an animal for any purpose,
fine driving and saddle horses,
farm and timber mules, all at most
reasonable prices. See him quick,
as they will not stay on hand long.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The Sunbeams had a good meeting
last Friday evening as usual. A large
number were in attendance and an
interesting program was carried out.
The Phila/thea class contributed
five dollars as their part of the Sunday-school
collection Sunday. But
they always do liberal things. Next
Saturday is orphanage day over the
State, and Sunday will be the time
for collecting through the channel
of our Sunday-school the results of
Saturday's labors. Let us make it a
red letter day in point of benevolent
contributions.
Pastor Frier preached at both
morning and evening hours Sunday,
and at the close of the service Sunday
night, Misses Grace Hill and
Von Etta Rentz were baptized.
The church in conference Sunday
provided for representation in the
Barnwell Association, which convenes
the latter part of next month.
We are behind some with our apportionment
as a church to missions
and general benevolence. Let us bestir
ourselves to make a clear report
to the Association. Especially
those who have been in the habit, of
contributing at the end of the year
should come up with their contributions
now.' See the treasurer, R. C.
Jones, or some member of the finance
committee. Don't wait for them to
see you, as they get no pay for their
services and their .time is as valuable
to them as yours is to you.
The B. Y. P. U. appointed a committee
Sunday afternoon to canvass
their membership with reference to
the above. They expect to revise

next month, this being the beginning
of the quarter. It is hoped that
many who have grown careless will
take a new start and so have their
names remain on our roll.
Next Sunday will be the regular
time for celebration of the Lord's
Supper.
Prayer meeting Thursday evening.
Subject: Daniel as a man of prayer.
Good Roads Train.
It is to be regretted that there
was not a larger crowd present at the
demonstration and lectures of the
gentlemen in charge of the good roads
train which visited Bamberg last
Thursday morning. The train arrived
here Wednesday night, and wa^
in charge of Messrs. Winslow and
Hurlbut and A. E. Baker. Mr. Winslow
has visited Bamberg before, he
being here with the good roads party
of the Columbia Daily Record about a
year or more ago. He is connected
with the good roads department of
the United States government, and
he had an assistant along with him
whose name we failed to get. Mr.
Hurlbut represented the Southern
Railway and Mr. Baker the American
Association of Highway Improvement
The lectures and demonstrations
were indeed interesting and instructive,
and the car in which the lectures
and demonstrations were given were
kept delightfully cool with electric
fans, driven by a gasoline engine,
which also furnished current for the
streopticon views and driving a part
of the exhibit.
The lecture by Mr. Winslow was
interspersed with views of roads in
this State and Georgia, the views for
the most part being taken by him.
Mr. Winslow showed examples of
good sand-clay roads and told how to
build them, always emphasizing the
importance of using the split log
drag.
The lecture of Mr. Baker was also
interesting as 'well as instructive. He
gave a lot of information as to tax
returns in this State and said the
people should be ashamed of themselves
for returning so little property.
He advocated a bond issue for the
improvement* of the public roads,
stating that the corporations would
pay one-half the tax. That the burden
would not fall on those who used
the public roads.
At the close of his address he organized
a local branch of his association,
with the following officers: S.
G. Mayfleld, president; H. A. Hughes,
vice president; J. Aldrich Wyman,
secretary; and H. C. Folk, treasurer.
This association here will be a part of
the national organization without one
cent of expense, and if a campaign
for a bond issue is started the national
association will send down speakers
without any cost.
It was regretted that the stay of
the train here was so short, but as a
stop had. been planned for Denmark,
the train left here attached to the
up train a little after eleven o'clock
Thursday morning, so only one series
of lectures and demonstrations were
given. However, the car was comfortably
filled, but there should have
been three times as many people present,
for nothing is of more importance
to our people than good roads,
and the information given by the
gentlemen here was intensely practical
TTT - rv I e* c.i I A for1
\v t? UU x1l/l Idvui a uuiiu iocuc iui
roads, but we do want to see our
present highways widened and the
split log drag used to keep them up.
Stereopticon Sunday Night.
A trip full of interest, showing
places in New York, San Francisco,
St. Louis, and other places, will be
taken next Sunday evening at Trinity
Methodist church. The stereopticon
will show about ninety or more
views, all of much beauty and interest.
Everybody is invited to attend the
service which will be instead of the
regular preaching service for the
evening. Service begins promptly at
8 o'clock.
ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
Spikes Removed from Rails on Trestle
of C. and N. W. Near Gastonia.
Chester, Sept. 19.?News reached
here to-day of a dastardly attempt
to wreck No. 10, the Charleston and
Northwestern Railway's north-bound
passenger train, at the trestle across
Crowder's Creek, just over :he
North Carolina line. Engineer R. D.
Smyer was at the throttle and Capt.
W. W. Isaacs had charge of the train,
and it was the keen outlook of these
experienced trainmen that enabled
them to see the danger and slow
down in time to avert serious damage.
The spikes had been drawn
out of several rails on the trestle and
the irons carefully laid back. Fortunately,
by the train's speed being
reduced, the engine remained on the
rails and the train was held on the
track.
The train was heavily loaded with
passengers, and if a wreck had occurred
as planned, and the train
been thrown down into the 50-foot
abyss, the loss of life would have
been frightful. Posses from Yorkville
and Gastonia are said to be
scouring thl country for the miscreants.
William F. Rice Dead.
The Columbia State of Sunday
says: "William F. Rice, for the past
- -?aw n 4- Tlftnm orlr
Cigllli y cai a pmiuiaoici <xl i/ciuuaiu)
died at a local infimary yesterday at
the advanced age of 72 years. Mr.
Rice had been In feeble health for
several months before his death.
He was the father of Mrs. Geo. H.
Huggins, wife of the postmaster at
Columbia. The funeral arrangements
have not been made, but the body
will be taken to Denmark for interment.
"Mr. Rice was born in Barnwell
county. He attended the South Carolina
Military Academy in Charleston
and was one of the oldest graduates
of that institution. He married Miss
Cecile Peck, of Charleston, and is
survived b,y the following children:
Mrs. A. M. Brabham, Bamberg; Mrs.
Geo. H. Huggins, Columbia; A. R.
Rice, New York city; Cecil Rice,
Denmark; C. W. Rice, Norfolk; Walter
Rice, Denmark, a student at
Clemson College, and by two brothers,
H. C. Rice and L. C. Rice, both
of Denmark.
"Mr. Rice served throughout the
War Between tne sections in lue ^r
federate army."
TILLMAN HANDS OFF.
"Won't Help a Damn Soul in Race
for Governor.
"I will be a candidate for re-election
to the United States Senate if I
am alive and not in articulo mortis.
Yes, by God, I believe if I am dead
I'll let 'em vote for me a little anyhow."
In this emphatic language Senator
Tillman is quoted by a correspondent
of The Augusta Chronicle as disposing
of rumors to the effect that he
would not be a candidate for reelection.
At his farm near Trenton Senator
tho matter over"
J. llliliau _ . _
with a representative of The Chronicle,
and in language more or less
Tillmanesque,' as the various phases
-demanded, stated that he believed
he would be elected again without
trouble.
'Tit has been said often, that I
could sit on my porch-^ and be reelected,"
said he. "I don't know ?
why they always mention my back
porch for the front porch is much
more cheerful and I use it the more,
but I suppose they mean to imply
that I need not even show myself in
the campaign and that my frienas in
South Carolina will see that I go
back, if I want to."
Senator Tillman was busy on his
farm, but he took time to say this
much.
To those who are familiar with the
oft repeated statements as to his
failing health it may come as a surprise
to know that he sleeps well,
eats heartily, gives the whole farm
his personal supervision by walking
and riding over it every day, in fact
many times a day, dictates his private
and official letters to his secretary,
and that his mind is as clear as
a bell, and his old time fire of speech
and manner blazes out at opportune
times. The only real reminder of his
past affliction is the cane he carries
?and he sometimes forgets that and
gets along seemingly as well as with
it.
Barring death, he will be in the
race, and he will make speeches too,
and he says he doesn't care wno or
how many enter the field. Any one
has a right to offer who wishes to.
"Senator it has been more than
hinted by some that you are encouraging,
and will back Gov. Blease for
re-election as Governor, next summer.
The Chronicle wants to know
directly from you, if you will give it,
how much truth there is in these
hints and rumors?" was the direct
question asked Senator Tillman by
the representative of The Chronicle. <
"I am not going to help a damn
soul in that race. I am going to be
strictly hands-off and neuitral, and
furthermore I have not given anyone
any authority to say that I was for
or against either of the candidates
who have announced. I am not going
to mix in it or have anything to
do with it."
