Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The Herald certainly needs every
dollar due, and we hope those who
owe us anything will settle right
away.
We wish to return thanks to Mr. |
M. J. Free for some extra fine sugar
cane, they measuring seven feet and
ten inches in height.
Numbers of people from Bamberg
attended the State Fair in Columbia,
but few could tell you anything
about the exhibits of farm products.
There was a record breaking attendance,
however, last Thursday.
A commission has been granted by
the secretary of State to open books
of subscription to the Planters Loan
& Exchange Bank at Govan. This
will give a bank to every town in
Bamberg county except Midway.
Mr. H. D. Hiers, who lives on Mrs.
P. W. Sandifer's plantation, near
town, brought us a sweet potato a
few days ago that weighed 4 %
pounds. It was of the "Forty to the
Hill" variety, and Mr. Hiers says the
yield this year was very good.
Cotton has gone from ten to twelve
cents in the past two weeks. It sold
for twelve cents here Tuesday morning,
and as the tendency has been upward,
possibly it is higher when we
go to press. The latest report will
be found in our report of the cotton
market here.
The editor of this newspaper did
not resign as chairman of the commissioners
of public works on account
of any lack of interest in the
public affairs of the town, but simply
because he could not hold two offices.
As a private citizen his interest
in the welfare of the town is as
great as ever.
Mr. Quintus Brabham, of the
Kearse section, who shot and killed
a negro about two weeks ago, came
to town last week and surrendered
to the sheriff. He was soon released
from custody, having given bond for
trial at the approaching term of
court. We have not learned the particulars
of the affair.
Superintendent Ryan has finished
wiring the court house for electric
lights, and lights will be placed in
the court and jury rooms and in all
the county offices. This is along the
line of progress, and should have
been done long ago. The use of
electric lights at one term of court
will more than pay the county for
the cost of installation.
A regular meeting of city council
was held Tuesday evening of this
week. The regular routine business
was transacted and a number of
claims paid. The only matter of public
interest was the acceptance of the
resignation of A. W. Knight as chairman
of the board of public works, he
having resigned some time ago, on
account of his appointment as postmaster
at this place.
There was a largely attended and
beautiful wedding at Denmark Tues
day evening, when Miss Wakefield
Mattison, a niece of Mr. R. L. Zeigler,
was married at his home to Dr.
Mahan, of Abbeville. The ceremony
was performed by Dr. E. O. Watson,
of Columbia. There were several attendants
and a number of visitors
from different parts of the State.
Misses Annie Lou Byrd and Franke
Folk, of this city, furnished the music
for the wedding, Miss Byrd on the
violin and Miss Folk on the piano.
Negro Killed at Olar.
Last Saturday at Olar one negro
shot another with a shotgun, inflict.
ing wounds which caused death Tuesday
of this week. One report we
heard was that the trouble was
about a woman, and another that
they were gambling. The negro who
did the killing was brought to Bamberg
Tuesday night and lodged in
jail. If the killings keep on, it will
take a term of court of three weeks
to try them all.
U. D. C. Meeting.
The Francis Marion Bamberg
Chapter U. D. C. will hold its regular
monthly meeting Tuesday, the
12th, at 4 p. m., Mrs. Janie C. Lewis
hostess.
An interesting literary program
, has been prepared, so let each member
be present.
The Election in Bamberg.
The eletcion in Bamberg Tuesday
was4 a very quiet affair, although a
much larger vote was polled than is
usual in general elections. The vote
at the Bamberg box was 164 for Wilson,
2 for Taft, 1 for Roosevelt, and
one for the Socialist ticket. The vote 1
on the asylum bond issue was nays
75, yeas 34. No other polls in the
bounty have been heard from.

TAKEN FROM BRIDE'S ARMS.
Elder Rozier Says He will Jail Heir
Forever to Separate Couple.
Ycung Yogt Dozier, who last night
married Essie Carter, who had been
cruelly flogged by his father to break
off the relations of the couple, was
arrested this morning and taken to
Dawson and lodged in jail.
Young Dozier was arrested at the
instance of his father, who is clerk
of the superior court at Dawson. The
-officers found Dozier with his bride
and dragged him from her arms.
The father says he will keep the
boy in jail forever rather than let him
live with his wife.
"I had two reasons for marrying
Vogt Dozier," declared Essie Carter.
"One is that I love him and he loves
me and the other is that I wanted to
get even with his father for whipping
me last July.
"Now I am going to be a different
woman. I am going to get my husband
out of jail too. His father has
trumped up charges against him in

John H. Sparks World's Famous
Shows to Visit Bamberg for One
Day Only?Two Exhibitions.
Four hundred people employed
and carrying over two hundred foreign
and domestic animals, is the
statement made by Mr.F. M. Heaton,
agent for the Sparks shows, who was
in town last Saturday making arrangements
for the appearance of
this big circus here on Wednesday,
November 27th.
The strange colony of people, handsome
horses, rare wild animals and
the golden caravans are scheduled to
arrive here during the early hours
of the morning of the above date in
their own special trains of specially
built railway cars from Batesburg,
where they will exhibit the day before.
Circus day will begin with a big
street parade at 12 o'clock noon, and
two performances will be given, the
first starting at 2 o'clock and the other
at 8 o'clock. It is said that the
Sparks Shows have $75,000.00 tied
up in chariots, tableauxs, floats, musical
vehicles, fanciful and historic
costumes, and expensive and odd
things of distinctive parade use.
The grounds Known as me i\ew
Circus Grounds have been arranged
for by the agent and a number of our
merchants have received contracts to
furnish immense quantities of feed
stuff for both man and beast, to be
delivered on the show grounds early
in the morning of show day.
The bparks shows have improved
and grown remarkably during the
last few years, and to those of us
who remember its former visits comes
the thought that it was always a
clean, moral and entertaining show,
and one we never hesitated in having
our families visit. It is said that the
show still retains these features that
made it such a welcome visitor in the
years gone by, and that its methods
of doing business with the public are
still of that same high order.?Adv.
A County Fair at Denmark November

The County Fair Association will
hold another county fair at Denmark
and asks that all the farmers of the
county to turn out, bringing with
them the various products of the
farm and home. We are making a
special appeal to tne aemonsiraLuia
and co-operators of the U. S. Farmers
Demonstration work to make a
splendid showing at the fair with
products directly from their demonstration
plats.
Our object is to stimulate the
farmers to a greater effort to grow
larger crops and thereby bring about
a greater prosperity and comfort to
all concerned.
Our white friends of the county
have always assisted us each year
in securing money to meet our expenses,
especially for premium purposes.
We ask them to be as good
to us this year as they have been in
past years.
We shall have a brass band and
other attractions, also a splendid
game of ball each afternoon.
