Hamburg Thursday, April 18, 1912. * SHORT LOCALS. i: Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. c 0 The pension fund for Bamberg = county amounts to $2,775.00. 1 Mr. J. H. Lancaster, of Govan, announces his candidacy for sheriff in g this issue. ^ The stores in Bamberg now close i at six o'clock every day except Sat- t urday. The early closing commenced I last Monday. a The Fitting School base ball team t went to Denmark Monday afternoon c and played a game with a team from s that town. The Fitting School boys won, the score being five to two. c The Home Mission Society will c hold its regular monthly meeting <next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock t in the ladies' parlor of the Metho- t dist church. o The rain of last Saturday was very . u refreshing to the trees and flowers, g and the farmers were mighty glad to see it, as it caused the seed which ^ they had put in the ground to sprout. We have received a postal from a Mr. Philip Murphy. He says the trip p v so far has been delightful, and the a roads fine. He says receiving The Herald is just like getting a letter n from home. 0 Everybody is cordially invited to a " attend the exercises, rendered by the fi children of Cuffy Creek school, t< Thursday evening, April the 25th, r at eight o'clock. The program will i] consist of plays, drills and recita- tl tions. v \ Last week we stated that the Car- x lisle Fitting School gave holiday p from Friday to Wednesday on ac- t count of Easter, but this was an er- ^ T ror. A few of the students went home to" spend Easter, but there was c' no holiday and the regular work ^ was done. Cl a Thp Otterbein male quartette, jj which appeared here Monday even- a ing, was the last attraction on the lyceum course for this season. This p company hc.s appeared here before ^ and it does not seemed to have im . proved any. The audience was not e so highly pleased with the entertainment. We are requested by the pastor, * Rev. E. A. McDowell, to say that the series of meetings anounced by him ^ to be held in the Ehrhardt Baptist T church next week, in which he was o to hare been assisted by Evangelist L. A. Cooper, has been called off, and ^ will be held one month later, beginning 3rd Sunday, 19th of May. Protracted services will begin at c: the Methodist church next Sunday c and continue throughout the week, o Two services a day will be held, one in the afternoon and one at night, v / The pastor will be assisted by Rev. E. H. Qpman, an evangelist, of Le- b noir, N. C. The public is cordially o invited to attend all the services. tl n As to Working the Roads. b The method pursued by the authorities in working the roads of the ^ county does not seem to be popular. ^ Messrs. G. E. Hutto and J. W. Hill were in our office last Saturday af- T ternoon and were outspoken in ^ their disapproval of the way in ^ which the commutation road tax is n being spent. Mr. Hutto says if the ^ road tax collected in his township ^ could be turned over to the reliable citizens of that township that they ^ would see that better results were obtained for the money spent. There is no charge that the money is being wrongfully spent, but it is claimed that the method of employing an overseer in each township who works only a small gang of hands is too ^ expensive and runs into too much ^ money for the pay of overseers. We j. had intended to get some facts and ^ figures in regard to the fund this ^ week, but have been too busy. In justice to the county board we wanted to publish the number of hands in each road gang and the number of .. days they ' had worked, and how much had been paid for overseers, etc., in each township. Possibly if ^ these facts are made public those who now oppose the present method j of spending this money will realize t t io Hoi n o* Ti'Qoforl liiat UUUC yi ll, io uviui, u^vvva. Greater publicity in our county affairs would we believe do away with much dissatisfaction in many in- ^ stances, for often no doubt the tax r payers are dissatisfied because they are not in possession of the facts. In order to allav any dissatisfacc tion and to secure the best results in this road matter, we would sug- j gest to the county board that it might be well to confer with the iorvovorc anH hpst hnsinpss ; lai^COl tcXA V*w men of each township before pro- c ceeding further. We are not trying c to attend to their business, under- 2 stand, and we only suggest this that i the most good may come from the 1 expenditure of this money and criti- t cism kept down. Sensation at Denmark. Serious trouble was narrowly Cler iverted at Denmark one day last week 1 reek on account of the charge of at- this cc empted assault against two promi- Those lent young white men of that town, should V young married lady of the Olar ection of this county was at the J. W. [epot to take the night train to Au- L. L. ( justa, she having with her an infant C. W. snly a few months old. While wait- H. E. ng tor the train it is charged that J. H. 1 dr. Marshall, the ticket agent, inulted her and attempted the crime. J. C. C dr. Lee Bamberg was also implicated n the affair, but it appears from the Nichols >est information we can obtain that W. R. ie was only present after the alleged R. C. ! .ttempt and possibly had something J. F. , o say, along with Marshall, who ontinued to annoy the lady after M. Blc he had gone back inside the depot. L. C. The facts published in another D. A. olumn, taken from the Bamberg G. D. orrespondence of the News and James lourier, are practically the same C. M. hat we have obtained! which are J. H.

A preliminary hearing Adalim :as to have been held Monday, and E. C. I lagistrate Ray came down for this Annie urpose, but the defendants waived M. L. ! he hearing. Bamberg is out on Elijah ond, but Marshall is still in jail. Sarah 'he matter is now ended until court M. E. onvenes here in July (if a summer J. A. 2 2rm is held) when the case will ome ud for trial, the charge being ttempted criminal assault.
