Rev. H. W. Whitaker, Ehrhardt, writes: "A kind reception and warm welcome has been tendered us at - Ehrhardt. Such kindness shown us calls for the best that is in us, and by God s grace, we purpose they shall have the best. We are looking for a good year."?Southern Christian Advocate. Messrs. Thos. Black and W. D. Rhoad went to Walterboro last week to attend the funeral of Mr. Black's brother, Mr. ?t. it. ?5iacK, w uusc death occurred after a short illness. Mr. Black was county auditor of Colleton county, having been recently appointed by the governor to fill out an unexpired term. Henry Johnson, a negro, was tried by Mayor Smoak Monday morning and found guilty on the charge of larceny of a bicycle and carrying brass knucks. He was fined $15 or thirty days. He took the days, and is now serving his time on the streets of the city. The bicycle he stole was the property of Paul Matheny. If you don't believe advertising in The Herald pays, ask Mr. D. J. Delk. He told us the other day that he had already sold two stalk cutters which he would not have sold had he not advertised in The Herald, as both parties referred to the advertisement in buying. That's right, tell those who advertise that you saw their ad. in The Herald. The first quarterly conference for the Bamberg charge was held at Trinity Methodist church last Wednesday evening, Presiding Elder M. v L. Banks presiding. Dr. J. J. Cleckley was elected a trustee to fill the place made vacant by the death of Mr. H. J. Brabham, and Messrs. D. J. Delk and A. Kirsch were elected as stewards to fill the vacancies caused by the deaths of Messrs. H. J. Brabham and F. M. Stubbs. Dr. Cleckley was elected recording steward. The many friends of Mr. A. W. Brabham will sympathize with him deeply in the loss of his estimable wife, which sad event occurred last Sunday. She was a most excellent 1 - b-nrkTir lnss is erreat. lc' U V , <t LLU WC ttuwn . ? ? Mrs. Brabham had been a contributor to The Herald for several years. She was possessed of a high order of intelligence, and was devoted to her home and her husband. We sorrow wi\h our friend. Only those who have endured such an affliction have any idea of what it means. Notice to Confederate Veterans. The following veterans will please ' call on the Chapter president, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, at as early a date as possible to obtain the crosses of honor in her possession that were to have been awarded on January 19th. Tf illness nrevents one's coming, please write her: W.

The chapter president can hold these crosses only eighteen days* longer, when they shall have to be returned to headquarters, so it is imperative that these veterans will make haste to get them.

Head Master Guilds, of the Carlisle Fitting School, has completed the arrangements for a course of lifework lectures to be given at the school auditorium, commencing Friday, February 9. In arranging for these lectures it has been hoped that they would be a great deal of help to the young people of the town as well as the students of the school. Men have been secured who have made a success of their respective lines of work. They will come to us with a message well worth the hearing.

Brabham, of Olar, departed this life on Sunday, January 28th, and was laid to rest on the next afternoon, at the family burying ground, in the presence of a large gathering of friends, Rev. Walker conducting the funeral services. In her death the country has lost a true, Christian friend. She was a devout member of the Methodist church and walked daily Dy me siue of her Saviour, living nearer God and heaven than any one I ever knew. Religion was to her of real enjoyment and to be in her company was a perfect spiritual treat. She discussed the Bible and its teachings so fluently and was ever ready to quote promises of encouragement. She is gone but not forgotten. Her influence, good deeds and pure example shall live on and many are made better by such a woman having lived. May God comfort the bereaved husband and teach him to feel the love of a Father who careth for His children. Taught Rowdies a Lesson. James Haigler and Mackie Govan, the two negroes who drove around a buggy in which were a lady and two children, at such a rapid speed that the horse driven by the lady became frightened and attempted to run away, thereby endangering the lives of the occupants of the buggy, were up before Magistrate Brunson on Saturday morning. Haigler was sentenced to pay a fine of $40 or serve thirty days on the chain gang, and Govan was given a fine of $20 or thirty days on the gang. It is a good thing to teach such rowdies a good lesson, which we think Magistrate Brunson has done in this instance.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. % Largest University in the World. A note was published in the Scientific American of December 20th, 1911, claiming that Columbia, with a total enrollment of nearly 8,000 is the largest university in the world. This statement has been corrected by | a Columbia man in science. AccordI ing to his figures, without consider | ing Asiatic universities, tne university of Paris heads the list with 17,000 students, after which follow Cairo with 10*000; Berlin, 9,600; Moscow, 9,000, and St. Petersburg, 9,000. "A man who sells his goods "for less than cost is either a fool or a bankrupt," says a writer in the Progressive Farmer.

Mr. Frier has done a good work and made many friends among all denominations in Bamberg. While they deeply regret the departure of himself and wife, they wish them much success and happiness in their new home. 0.-* * m r Want to Get Edisto County. f) The people of the Wa'gener section of Aiken county are again agitating x.? X the formation of a new county y^ui of;portions pf Aiken, Lexington and Orangeburg countes. This is a matter which will be left entirely in the bands of the people in the territory of the proposed new county, but some provision should be made that will guarantee the rights of those interested to a vote on the mattpr. At least in one such election hundreds of good citizens were disfranchised by their voting place being left out of the new county territory. Such an outrage should never be allowed to occur again.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. The Streets of St. George. \ Chief of Police Hart, accompanied by a squad of small boys and several dogs, were out chasing hogs on Tuesday afternoon. They captured 12 head and shut them up. The owners of the razor-backs will have to pay for the damage done to the streets. Some of the streets have been rooted onH pitv ponncil DroDOses up iciiiut; UUU V*v%, ^ to put a stop to the running at large of hogs in the streets. For some time attention has been called to the fact that the sidewalks and streets were being torn up by these animals. They hunt for acorns and in some places large holes are rooted. If it cost several dollars apiece and a lot of hard work to catch these hogs, and thereby put a stop to the nuisance, council would be justified in doing so. This nuisance has been going on for some time, and it is high time to stop it for good.?Dorchester Eagle. Hampton Postmaster Namedl.

SKULL BROKEN BY BRICK. Assailant of Young Seneca Man Sought by Police. Seneca, Jan. 29.?Leland Crooks, a young saw mill laborer, living near Seneca, was hit on the head Saturday night with a brick thrown by a negro named Buster Harris, which fractured his skull. Crooks's condition is serious, although it is thought that he is slightly better to-day. The negro escaped and is still at large. Crooks was carried to a drug store, where medical aid was secured. It was found that the frontal bone had been hit by the brick, causing a fracture of about two inches and leaving a dent an inch deep in his forehead. From what can be learned, Crooks and a companion named White were walking along the west end of Main street, when Harris collided with White. A row followed between him and White and the negro, it seems, picked up a brick with the threat ? * * t- t- ?- / T-TT1_ tnat ne wouia DreaK uis i_w.mi.eaj head. Crooks stepped between the two and stopped the brick with his head. After hitting Crooks, the missile bounded off, breaking a large plate glass window. Before those who witnessed the assault could recover from their surprise the negro had taken flight and they were unable to overtake him. He was located early Sunday morning by the police and two officers went to arrest him. He jumped from a window, clad only in a suit of underwear, and after' a fight with the officers again escaped and has not been captured. There is no unusual excitement over the deed. Passenger Lost at Sea. Charleston, Jan. 28.?The Clyde Line steamer Mohawk, which arrived at Charleston from New York early this morning, brought news of the loss of E. J. Bangs, of West Fiftyseventh street, New York City, who vanished from the liner on Saturday night when the ship was. a little south of Cape Hatteras. Bangs is believed to have slipped on the snow covered deck and fallen overboard. His wife stated that he left his stateroom shortly after midnight Friday, saying that he was feeling badly and would walk aft. He was never seen again. Bangs was 26 years of age. His wife and an uncle, Emory Wolford, .who were making the voyage with him, left the ship at Charleston and took train for New York this afternoon. . Mileage Bill. Columbia, S. C^ Jan. 28.?A bill of great interest in this Sta*e, especially among the traveling men, is the so-called "mileage bill," which would require railway companies selling mileage books to "pull" the mileage on tlje trains instead of having it exchanged for coupons as is the case now. The hardest ngnt or the session in the general assembly 'was caused by this bill last year, days being occupied with consideration of alleged merits and demerits. It was finally left at adjourned debate when the session was over, the debate being adjourned until February 1, 1912. It is now on the calendar for that date. Advocates for the bill and its opponents are equally determined and the stormy battle of last year bids fair to be renewed. Compulsory Education. tv,? vTairhorrv "RpralH and News X 11U il^TT VVA * J AAV* *???. ? and the Anderson Intelligencer do not have many things in common, but they are virtually alone among the papers of the State in the support of Gov. Blease, and it is particularly interesting, therefore, in view of the governor's well known attitude toward compulsory education to find both of them earnestly championing it, as a result of their individual observation of actual conditions. The Intelligencer in its last, issue calls the attention of its readers to the fact that at a recent examination for a carrier for a rural free delivery route in Richland county the highest rating was made by a negro woman. The negroes, it says, are sending their children to school now, at whatever sacrifice to themselves, while too many white parents are neglectful of this duty. "The time to educate children," says the Intelligencer, "is when they aie young and ambitious and if the parents will not attend to this matter, the State should compel them, for it is the duty of every parent to see that his children have an equal show in this world with the people with whom they have to compete for a living." This is well put.?News and Courier. A +V?a flnnnnrront rPSOlllt.ionS A1UU11& tilt.

Tragic End of Aged Keeper of an Omaha Zoo. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 28.?Nels H. Anderson, aged 63, keeper of the zoo in Riverview park here, and formerly animal trainer in a circus, was gored t<y death to-day by a buffalo bull. Because the water in the regular trough in the buffalo enclosure was frozen, Anderson conceived the idea of digging a hole in the ground, where water for the animals could be turned in. While at this work the infuriated animal quickly approached the keeper, who ran for the nearest fence, but stumbled and fell to the ground before reaching safety. With lowered head the enraged beast sunk his horns into the prostrate man's body. Church Expels Richeson. Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 26.?The Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, who is under sentence of death for the miirdor nf Jiio fnrmpr awoethpart U1U1UV1 V4 U1W A.VA AAA v* M ? Avis Linnell, was expelled to-night from the Baptist church. The action was taken at the regular monthly meeting of the Immanuel Baptist church, of this city, of which Richeson was pastor at the time of his arrest.. The motion, which was carried unanimously, was put in this form: "Voted that the right hand of fellowship be withdrawn from Clarence V. T. Richeson and that his name be dropped from the church roll of members." i Lynch Brutal Negro. Cordele, Ga., Jan. 30.?An enraged mob of 500 men to-day stormed the local jail and lynched Albert Hamilton, a negro identified as the assailant of a prominent white girl in the residence section of this place last night. For 4 0 minutes the mob assailed the jail and finally effected entrance by battering in the locks of the outer door. The negro was dragged from the building and strung up to a tree. Armed members of the mob vented their rage by riddling the dangling body with a fusilade of shots. Hamilton was arrested this morning and was taken before the young woman who is said to have positively identified him as her assailant. Feeling was so intense that the sheriff appealed to Gov. Brown for aid. The troops, however, did not arrive in time to afford any protection for the negro. Nineteen Submitted to Operation. Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 26.?Niner teen young women appeared at Linat dm /-? ? ? a i hrvsmitnl in rpsnonse i V/V/1U AfXVlU V4 AUA to a published appeal and each of the number submitted to the painful operation of the removal of a piece of . her skin that it might be grafted on the person of Mrs. Missouri Pennington, of Tellico Plains, a patient in the institution. Mrs. Pennington was badly burned some four weeks ago at her home. Much of the skin on her back, right arm and right thigh was destroyed, and the pieces transplanted were sufficient to cover the burned portion of her back. Couldn't Escape. She led the Bashful One into the conservatory, where the strains from the Blue Siamese band floated out to them, and the creepers crept coyly over the rookery, and even the goldfish seemed to bubble with love. She led him to two chairs which had sealed the future of thousands. 'I am afraid," said the Bashful One furtively, after she had led him farther still, "that your father would hardly give his consent." "My father is always willing to listen to reason," she urged. "But your mother?" "Absolutely dotes on you, George." "M'yes. But you would never get on with my own people, I'm certain." "Why, dear, I simply love them!" "And, of course, my income is small." "Luxury," she cried, clasping her hands, "has ceased to possess charms for me! I think it would be so heavenly to have a cozy little cottage, where I could do all the cooking myself." "Well, confound it, then," he exclaimed, "let's get married."?Exchange. The Bamberg Pharmacy will make an interesting offer to our readers in their ad. next week. Be sure to read it. / ' .
