The absence of one man out of our office for an entire week has made the balance of us work mighty hard, but we are keeping up with the wants of our customers. We understand there is a possibility of Mr. G. B. Kinard, of the . Ehrhardt section, making the race for county supervisor next year. Mr. Kinard was elected county commissioner" two years ago. The death of Mr. J. B. Traywick, Of the Cope section, is regretted by a number of, friends in this city, where he was^rell known.

The way in which it will be conducted we feel sure will appeal to all contestants, for our past experience puts us in a position to handle a contest that will be a winner. \ .'-v.;.: V - 'T Carlisle Fitting School Lyceum. Once more the citizens of Bamberg have honored themselves and shown their public spirit in making possible a lyceum course for the community and the Carlisle Fitting School by their advance subscription for season tickets. The lyceum to-day is no longer a local enterprise, restricted to a small territory, but a movement as wide as the United States, calling for the best people in every line of artistic perfection and endeavor. A good lyceum course is I of untold value to any community, | putting that community into touch witn an trie woria, oesmes urmgius to our very doors the concrete expression, illustration and emphasis of what is best and highest in literature, music, art and entertainment. The man who either villifies or is unappreciative of a good lyceum series shows a lack of early training, atrophy of the finer sensibilities, or a shortsightedness that is almost criminal. The lyceum is not a member of the church, neither does the lyceum go to school, but it is a movement concerned with every vital and ^gitimate interest and concern of a community. And while not in the same catagory as the school and church, yet as the supporter of both is deserving of the highest respect and consideration and should be maintained even by sacrifice and effort. The citizens of ?amberg have honored themselves by entering subscriptions for season tickets,- thus making the course possible for another season under its present most excellent management. The lyceum of Bamberg is even more important in its relation to the student-body of the Carlisle Fitting School. There is no greater factor for good in this section than this most excellent institution. It is a light-tower for the community and the surrounding region. * Within its walls will be gathered a studentbody of some of the best youth of our section in and growing out of their adolescense, the most important period in the life of any idividual. Now through this splendid lyceum course for the coming fall and winter there will be made to impinge upon the receptive minds and conI nni/Minnaoo fho 0t>l/1OTl+?hftHv f>)Ck OUIVUOU^OO V/JL tuu OUUIAVAJ.V-MWVIJ , V**v | work of some of the best men and artists from various parts of the United States. Who can tell what streams of gracious influences will be unloosed from the lives of the growing youth by this splendid series of attractions. And Professor J. Caldwell Guilds, the head master, and his splendid helpers, deserve the praise, support, and commendation of the entire ' community for their spirit and enterprise in this undertaking. v Every citizen should secure a season ticket and thus make the course more than successful, and lay the foundation for a larger course next season. The following attractions embody the course for the coming season: The La Barge Musical Company; Sidney Landon; Ross Crane; Wilbur Star Quartette Company; The Otterbein Male Quartette and Bell Ringers. +<rtlrofo /von VlQ CO/illroH fprtttl UCOOl/di I4V/XV^M7 VA4>U wv A.A VAM Prof. Guilds. The season will open with a number to he given by the La Barge Musical Company, Thursday, October 5. Some More Figures. The Orangeburg Times and Democrat asys The Herald has recently been indulging in some hot air about the cotton markets of this place and Orangeburg, in claiming that Bam-! berg is paying more than Orangeburg. We were too busy last week] to get up some comparative figures, I but we present the figures below for the past week, commencing with Tuesday a week ago, which shows that Bamberg is certainly paying more for cotton than Orangeburg. The figures for Orangeburg are taken from the News and Courier, and the figures for Bamberg were obtained from reliable merchants here who are cotton buyers. The figures for Orangeburg are: Tuesday 9.7,0 to 10 cents; Wednesday 9.50 to 10; Thursday 9.80 to 10; Friday 9.50 to 10; Saturday 9.50 to 9.80; Monday 9.20 to 9.50; Tuesday 9.50 to 9.60. Bamberg: Tuesday 10 1-8; Wednesday 10 1-4; Thursday 10 1-16; Friday 10 1-16; Saturday 10 1-8; Monday 10; Tuesday 9 5-8; Wednesday 9 5-8. We started to keep this record Wednesday a week ago, as the reports from Orangeburg were published, with the intention of publishing the figures for a week, no matter which way it turned out. We did not get any Bamberg figures until Saturday morning, and we obtained *1.- V. ? 1 il.;- CTT7? til *2 uaiaii^e til is v. vv cuucouav ) uiuiuing just before going to press. Take the figures for a week, two weeks, a month,% or the season, and it will be found that the Bamberg market will average higher than Orangeburg. Married at Kline. J. F. Carter, Esq., left here Tuesday morning in an automobile for Kline, Barnwell county, where he was married the same afternoon to Miss Lydia Belle Jenkins, daughter of Mr: and Mrs. B. M. Jenkins. He was accomDanied bv Messrs. B. D. Carter and E. H. Henderson. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Carter left for a bridal trip, and they will return to Bamberg in about ten days, where they will be warmly welcomed by a very large circle of friends. The wedding was a quiet one, and there were no attendants. Rev. Mr. Phillips wa9 the officiating minister. On their return to Bamberg they will board at Mr. John Cooner's, on Railroad Avenue. The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling in Bamberg today (Wednesday) at 9 5-8 cents the pound. The receipts continue heavy, as the high prices paid on this market are bringing lots of cotton here from a distance. The fact is that Bamberg is paying more this season ior couon man omer maraeus in this section, and the farmers are finding it out. Bring your cotton to Bamberg.

The ticket office, baggage room, and white and colored waiting rooms are now well lighted, and several lights have also been placed on the outside of the building. This will be a great improvement and the traveling public can now see to get on and off the trains at night. It is to be hoped that at least one light in the white waiting room will burn all night for the convenience and safety of those people who use the midnight trains. Mr. M. W. Brabham. Personally the editor of The Herald regrets more possibly than any one else that Mr. M. W. Brabham will make his home elsewhere in a short time. Not only has he been our warm personal friend, but he has been of great assistance to us in an editorial and news way for a number of years. He is the only man in Bamberg whom we could approach for editorial assistance when we were to be out of town or at other times. The Herald will miss him especially, but we trust that he will keep our ' readers in touch with him through its columns. Our best wishes go with him. State House Plans. Representative J. A. Hunter, who is a member of the legislative committee on state house and grounds, - " O attended a meeung ui m? wmmntee in Columbia last wek at which plans for the remodeling' of the state capitol were discussed . The plan is to spend about one million dollars in enlarging and improving the state house, the money to be raised by a small levy extending4 over several years. Mr. Hunter showed us the plans yesterday morning. He is in favor of letting the people vote on this expenditure before the legislature makes any appropriation for this purpose, but some of the committee want the general assembly to go ahead and appropriate the money without any instructions from the tax payers. * Baptist Church News and Notices.

This is what is bringing cotton here from a distance. Confederate Monument Fund. S. G. Mayfield 30.00 C. H. Mitchell .... $ 3.00 W. D. Bessinger 1.00 J. A. Hunter 5.00 H. H. Copeland 3.00 Thos.

To the People of Bamberg County: At a meeting recently held in the city of Bamberg you, in my absence, elected me as president of the good roads movement for Bamberg county. I was absent from that meeting on professional business, and while.

Let me call upon you individually and by communities to join hands and make good roads in Bamberg county. The government has tendered the aid of a supervisor to construct a mile of road in the county under government supervision, and I am convinced that it will not only supervise the construction of the mile but any number of miles that any community may choose to build, and for this purpose I want to call upon the towns as business centers to join hands and have good roads -built on the leading public highways, and when this has been begun the side lines can be completed.
