Rev. \V. H. Hodges will preach his
last sermon before conference at the
Methodist church next Sunday. He
will leave for conference at Anderson
the first part of next week.
The jury for the first week was dismissed
Saturday morning of last
week, and the balance of the day
given over to hearing cases before
the presiding judge, these being civil
matters, orders, etc.
This issue of The Herald contains
ten pages. We would have printed a
twelve-page paper had our force not
been worked so hard. All these big

this issue and note that profits are
being cut off entirely by some merchants.
They had rather sell the
goods at no profit than run the risk
of carrying them over.
Special Thanksgiving services will
be held at St. John's Batpist church,
. Rev. E. A. McDowell, pastor, on
Thursday, the 28th instant. There
will be a sermon at 11:30 o'clock
and dinner on the grounds. The
public is cordially invited.
Rev. J. W. Sparks, an Episcopal
minister from Charleston, will make
his monthly visit to Bamberg on Sunday
next and will hold divine services
at the Presbyterian church at
11 a. m. and 4 o'clock p. m. The
public is cordially invited.
Mr. J. D. Miley, of the Smoaks section,
suffered a stroke of paralysis a
few days ago, and is still confined to
his bed. His condition is as good as
could be expected under the circumstances.
His many Bamberg friends
hope that he will soon be up and out
again.
The news of the death of Mr. J.
W. Barnes, or tne uope secuuu, was
received with much regret in Bam-j
berg, where he was well kflown and
had relatives and friends. Mr. Barnes
leaves a wife but no children. H?
was a successful business man, and
those who know him think there must
be some mistake about the statement
in the newspapers that financial difficulties
caused him to take his life.
Monday night Mr. James Armstrong
had his hands painfully burned
at the Peoples Drug Company
while filling a hot water heater which
is used at the soda fount. He was
filling the heater with gasoline, this
being the fuel used, and was under
the impression that the fire had been
extinguished, but it had not, and
when a little gasoline was spilled the
heater at once caught fire and the
flames spread to Mr. Armstrong's
hands, inflicting painful burns on
both.

Parcels Post Law.
i The new parcels posi law will go n
r (
i into effect January 1st, 1913, and
i after that date every package of meri
chandise or fourth class matter must
bear a distinctive parcels post 6tamp, j
ordinary postage stamps not being i 313
valid for transmission of matter of I
this class. In addition to this, the | w
package must also contain the name !
and address of the sender, otherwise se
it will be treated as '"held for postage"
and not forwarded. q
The postmaster at Bamberg desires
that the patrons of the office will inform
themselves fully as to the requirements
of the new law in order
that they may be saved trouble and ll1
annoyance, and he and his assistants
will give all information in regard to w;

Orangeburg's .New 1 tail road. C(

' Mr. C. V. Tompkins, assistant general
freight agent of. the Seaboard
Air Line, paid a visit to Orangeburg at
ds
last week for the purpose of looking
into the railroad now being built
from North to Orangeburg by Mr. W. *u
C. Wolfe. Mr. Tompkins stated that E<
the road would be open for business
in sixty to ninety days, and that the ha
Seaboard would stop all their fast co
trains at North in order to connect
with the new road and that all pos- ja;
sible facilities would be given for the to
handling of freight. This connection
will no doubt mean much to Orangeburg.
The road may later be built
on to the coast via Bamberg. This,
however, does not come from the railroad
people or Mr. Wolfe. It possi- tlc
bly expresses the hope of the writer
mnro than anvthirier else.

Death of T. L. Wiggins.
Mr. Thos. L. Wiggins, a former be
resident of Bamberg, who was well he
known and had many friends in this eh
city, died in Savannah Saturday of
last week. The body was brought to te]
Barnwell Sunday and buried there. jiE
Mr. Wiggins was forty-six years old, gu
and was born in Georgia. He came
to Barnwell a number of years ago dr
and was married to Miss Brabham, a
an
sister of Messrs. C. R. and W. M. .
Brabham. He leaves surviving him
a widow and three children, two boys
on
and one girl.
pit
Mr. Wiggins lived in Bamberg for
prj
several years, and at one time ran
this newspaper as lessee from the
company that owned it at that time. S.
He then lived-in Charleston for some
years, and afterwards was foreman La
of The Herald under the present pro- on
prietor. ?He and family later returned
to Charleston, where they lived W
until they moved to Savannah. Mr. Cc
Wiggins was an expert printer and a Mi
good writer, knowing the newspaper in
business thoroughly. His health was
very bad for a year or more and he
was forced to quit work, but a short ph
time ago he had gotten much better ne
and had gone back to work, being e(j
foreman of the Savannah Morning ur
News at the time of his death. The
end came suddenly Saturday while w
he was at his desk in the News office.
Tu
Mr. Wiggins was one of the most
genial characters we ever knew, and ^
everybody was his friend. His sudden
and untimely death is deeply regretted
by all who know him. Peace
to his ashes!
Civic League.
Mi
Bamberg ladies, as never before,
are awakening to the call for workers Pr
in the making over of their home
town. Several new names have been
already been added to the roll since rpQ
re-organization, and it is hoped that
many others will attend and join at
Po
the next meeting. This meeting will
be held Thursday afternoon of next
week in the town hall, this being the Yc
fourth Thursday in the month,1 the
regular time of meeting. Let the an
members attend promptly at four
o'clock, and the treasurer will be
glad for those who have not paid
their yearly dues to bring them at
this time. The dues are only 50
cents each year, with no extra calls ^e<
for any cause. e(*
The play, "Miss Topsy Turvy," is ar<
being rehearsed with great enthusi- tlE
* isa'
asm oy tne young ioiks uikius yau,
and will soon be presented for the
benefit of the civic league. ric
It is hoped that the ladies are now
ready with their recipes for the cook *n!
book. The committees on this work Tk
are requested to bring in all of the
receipes collected to the next meet- fir
ing, and let the members bring in 6tl
each their contribution of recipes,
whether they have been solicited as tir
yet or not. h?

Two-Page Advertisement.
The largest advertisement ever inserted
by this newspaper appears in
to-day's issue, it being that of C. R.
Brabham's Sons. This is one of the
oldest and largest mercantile estab-1
lishments in this section, the busi- j
rtpss heine founded vears ago by H. !
J. Brabham. Later the name was
changed to H. J. Brabham & Bro.
when Mr. C. R. Brabham became a
member of the firm. Later Mr. H..
J. Brabham sold out to his brother
and entered the Bamberg Banking
Company, where he remained until
his death last year. The business
was run for years by Mr. C. R. Brabham,
and when he retired from the
mercantile business to devote his entire
time and attention to his farms,
the business was taken over by his
two sons, Messrs. C. R. and A. M.
Brabham, who have faithfully carried
out the fine record of the store
for so many years for reliable and
courteous dealing. This is the first
special sale they have ever put on,
and it is certain that they have some
rare and tempting bargains to offer.
It would certainly be foolish business
policy in them to take and pay for
two pages of space in The Herald if
they did not have something out of
the ordinary for their customers,
and the reputation of this old established
house and the men in charge'
of it is a guarantee that you will be ,
well repaid for a visit to their store
during this great sale. They have
a very large stock and they intend to
dispose of a large part of it during
this sale.
Seaboard Trains in Wreck.
Norlina, N. C., Nov. 19.?Six men
were killed and six others badly hurt
in a head-on collision between the
northbound and southbound FloridaCuba
trains on the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad, one mile south of the Vir
e-inia-North Carolina State line early !
to-day. All those killed or hurt, so far|
as reports show, are members of the |
crews of the two trains and express
messengers.
The dead are:
C. H. Brickham, engineer, of Raleigh,
N. C.
W. A. Faison, engineer, of Raleigh,
N. C.
R. J. Gray, negro fireman.
James Ruffin, negro fireman.
O. V. Priddy, express messenger,
Boykins, Va.
Express Messenger King.
The injured are:
Conductor W. R. Tilghman> Richmond;
Baggagemaster Bryant, Express
Messengers Coates, Roundtree,
and Brown; Pullman Porter Coates.
The northbound train known, as
No. 81, was due at Norlina, eight
miles south of the wrecK scene, at |
2:40 a. m., but did not pass until
nearly 4 o'clock. The southbound
train, No. 84, was due here at 4 :
o'clock. The two trains crashed just i
outside the yards of Granite, a small!
station near the State line.
Relief trains were hurried from \
Norfolk and from Raleigh, N. C, (
carrying surgeons, nurses and officers j
of the railroad company. The badly I
injured were removed to Raleigh for j
treatment.
Although the specific cause of the !
wreck has not been determined, in- j
formation received here indicated j
that Engineer Beckham, on the
southbound train, confused his orders
for meeting the northbound train.
The election of judges by direct
vote of the people is being agitated.
Well, we don't know that the people
could do much worse than the legislature.

LOCAL DRUGGIST MAKES STATEMENT.
Says Dodson's Liver Tone is the Best
Remedy for Constipation and Shirk
ing Liver He has Ever Sold.
Every person who has tried Dodson's
Liver Tone and knows how
surely and gently it starts the liver to J
working and relieves biliousness will
bear out the Peoples Drug Store in
this statement about Dodson's Liver
Tone.
"It is a purely vegetable liquid,
that entirely takes the place of calomel,
harmless and pleasant to the
taste, that has proven itself the most
satisfactory remedy for a slow-working
liver that most of our customers
have ever tried.- A large bottle
sells for fifty cents and we do not
hesitate to give the money back to
any person who tries a bottle on the
strength of this statement and is not
satisfied with the result."
In these days of doubtful medicines
and dangerous drugs, a statement
like the above is a pleasant assurance
that Dodson's Liver Tone is
a reliable remedy for both children
and grownups. In buying a bottle
for immediate or future use it is well
to make sure you are getting the
genuine Dodson's Liver Tone and not
some spurious imitation that has
copied our claims, but do not stand
back of their guarantee. You may
be certain of getting the genuine if
you go to the Peoples Drug Store for
it.
