W. Beard, and will continue the business at the same stand. The Bamberg Herald wonders what it will do with the Carlisle Fitting School. Greenwood still has a few vacant sites for such institutions. ?Greenwood Journal. If the bill allowing dispensary elections becomes a law, Bamberg county will vote cm the question next May. It is easy to predict what the result will be if the election is held. There was only one public sale made here last Monday, and that by Master H.; C. Folk, who sold one hundred acres of land in the case of M. S. Copeland vs. J. D. Copeland et al. It was bought by M. S. Copeland for $1,005. The Bamberg Herald is doing its +r*Tirn a <rrpat service bv advocating " - the enlargement and improvement of the Carlisle Fitting School, which is one of the best assets of that enterprising little city. ? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. A banquet is to be given the men members of the Methodist church this (Thursday) evening in the town hall. It will be given by the ladies of the church. A delightful affair is being arranged for, and it will no doubt be a great success. Some of the gentlemen in town do not seem to understand the purpose of the dinner to be given this (Thursday) evening by the ladies of the Methodist church. It is purely a social affair, and there is nothing mercenary in it. There is to be no questoin of money, and it is given en v tirely complimentary. The Herald contest is growing popular right at the start, and is going to be a great success. Mr. W. D. Rhoad is another merchant who has offered a valuable prize, and this will be announced in the list of prizes next week. The page ad. was printed this week too early to an>' nounce the prize in this issue. Mr. W. D.> Rhoad, one. of Bamberg's leading merchants and public spirited citizens, has presented the Carlisle Fitting School with three or four acres of land for an athletic field. Bamberg and Carlisle Fitting School are to be congratulated on having such a generous friend as Mr. Rhoad. Such men as he are an honor to any community.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Work on the Bamberg-Ehrhardt . , railroad is getting along nicely now. The two swamps are now being worked on, that is piling is being driven for the trestles and embankments are being built. The timber for the trestles is being gotten out, and as soon as the trestles are completed, track laying will begin. The railroad will certainly be finished, we are tdld, during the latter part of the i*' coming summer, in ample time to '' ? ' * _ . . rtrif t An nrnn fmuve uus )cai o wnvu Getting Along Nicely. A few days ago we received a letter from Mr. M. A. Move, Jr., asking that The Herald be sent to him at Washington, D. C. It will be remembered that Mr. Moye recently sold his moving picture show here to accept the position of ticket auditor for the Southern Railway. He writes us that his present run is on Nos. 37 and 38, the New York, Atlanta & New Orleans limited, and he runs from Atlanta to Washington. This is one of the finest trains on the Southern, being composed of fine Pullmans throughout, with diner, club and observation cars, making stops only at large towns. Mr. Moye says he is very much pleased with his position, and his many friends in his old home will be glad to know that he is getting along so nicely. Another Robber Captured. Our reporter got the wrong name last week of the robber who was captured for breaking into the store of the Bamberg Furniture & Hardware Company. The negro who was captured then and lodged in jail was not John Green but Arthur Wright Mr. Cooner also did not offer a reward of $25 each for the two negroes still at large, the reward being for both, and with evidence to convict. John Green, another one of th< negroes, and the one who is said t( be the leader of the gang, was ar . nota/l in A no-net a Tnocriar flnr 1 COtCU xxx xj. uova x uvwiuuj muv brought here the same night an( lodged in jail. He was captured un der the charge of breaking into the drug store at Denmark some time ago, but he admits being with the crowd who broke into the hardware store. It seems that there is a reg ularly organized gang of store rob bers, who have been stealing in Den mark, Bamberg, and other towns ii this section. % I DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH.

Shall we whose souls-are lighted With wisdom from on high,' Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? The Bamberg-Ehrhardt Railroad. Tuesday afternoon of this week we went out to Lemon Swamp, where a i gang is now at work on the new , railroad, and we must admit that we were greatly surprised at the amount of work which has been done. As heretofore stated, the road bed is complete and ties have been laid, but it needs to be said that the road bed is a good one and the ties are of good material. At Lemon Swamp a large force has been at work, but by the time this paper is printed they will have finished up the work there and moved down to Little Saltkeatchie Swamp, which is the only other stream of any size which the railroad crosses. At Lemon Swamp the embankment , has been finished all the way across, and a trestle several hundred feet long has been built. The piling is being driven by Mr. Hicks, and he is doing it well. Large timbers have been used, and the work is as sub* stantial as that of any railroad, and there need be no fear that the tres11 ' ? ~ ^ 1 1 J -- ?' V? /\OTTl AC?f tieS W1I IlOt I1U1U Up LilC ucaricai. trains. Frankly, we were as much surprised as pleased at the thorough manner in which Messrs. Williams, Hays and Wolfe are having this work done and the heavy timbers used. There is nothing of the make1 shift or temporary about this work, and we suggest to our people that they go out and see the trestle across Lemon Swamp. They will realize that the road will soon be ready for business, and that a much-needed outlet is an assured fact. The work is being pushed as rapidly as possible* i Death of Mrs. Stokes. Mrs. R. M. Stokes, mother of Mr. , J. W. Stokes, of this city, died Monday morning at three o'clock at the . home of her son-in-law, Mr. W. B. , Smith, who lives just outside of town. Mrs. Stokes had been sick for some weeks, but she was getting along nicely, but an attack of heart failure came suddenly at the above hour Monday morning, and death came instantly. ? The burial took place Tuesday ; morning at eleven o'clock at South? end cemetery, the services being . conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. H. 5 Hodges, of Trinity Methodist church, j The pall bearers were: J. A. Murdaugh, C. R. Brabham, A. Kirsch, J. . A. Wyman, W. D. Rhoad, and C. . W. Rentz. v r Mrs. Stokes was seventy-five years . of age, and leaves two children: Miss Anna V. Stokes and Mr. J. W. 3 Stokes, both of this city. She was j a Miss Barnes before her marriage . to W. E. Stokes, and was born on the I Barnes place a few miles above town, 1 She and her daughter had madetheii . home in Bamberg for several' years 3 living with Mr. W. B. Smith since 3 the death of his wife a few years 3 ago. She was a good Christian wo3 man, and will be sorely missed by ? _ large number of relatives anc . friends.

Civic League Work. < In deed and in truth the civic league has ben revived and its mem- : bers have roused from their lethargy, ] determined to no longer close their ^ eyes to the true state of affairs in 1 Bamberg, but to seek the evils out ! and find a remedy if possible. At ' the first meeting of the new year, ' Mrs. Brooker's cozy sun parlor was filled with ladies, all eager to help make their town "a city^ better" as 1 well as "a city beautiful." Eight ' new names were enrolled and quite ( an amount of business transacted. But other members are needed, every lady of Bamberg should feel it her duty to. join, giving the aid of her 1 influence and half dollar yearly if no more, towards making her home town a more healthful and inviting place for her children to grow up in than heretofore. When one stands back and refuse? to help, she is sure- ' ly shirking her portion of the work 1 and still win snare in uie guuu resulting from the labors of others. At this meeting of the league, -all ! of the standing committees gave reports of their work, also of improvements contemplated. A detailed account of these reports will be given soon, it seeming more important just now to consider some of the conditions which exist in Bamberg that are unfavorable to its grouth. It seems good and well when booming ?' ones' town to seek out only the favorable things that may be said or written about it and hide the things > which would cause new confers to stay away. But does this pay 1 in the end? If there are ugly faults which have been concealed, they will he known some day and the town will : get a reputation for dishonesty. Is ! it not best to hunt out these ugly Anrlft^QfQ COI1QH.IUHS, lldU&lj' av;nuumcu5b them and set ~to work to remedy these evils? Jacksonville, Fla., has found this to be true. The "Half? 1 Million Club" was organized for the ' purpose of increasing its population I to a half million. It found that no i progress could be made until sani- i tary conditions were improved and i the sources of disease removed. It issued circulars telling the facts and 4 urged that every citizen demand of ' the authorities that every swamp, marsh and other unhealthful place about the city be put under the control of the health board, cleaned up ! and kept clean and sanitary. Jack- 1 sonville has been made clean, its ] death rate has decreased and the ? public are confident that it will be ( kept so, and the health of the citizens safe-guarded by every means 1 known to modern science. 1 Why not such a revolution in 1 Bamberg? It is sadly needed. A 1 thorough investigation is not needed, ' merely a drive around the principal streets will show the town to be in i a most unsanitary condition, not to i mention the sights which are un- j pleasing to the aesthetic senses?the i worst kept town he had ever visited, was the verdict of a traveling sales- : man, a short time ago. Can Bam- ! berg with her many beautiful homes, * handsome churches, thriving schools and prosperous citizens afford to have such things said of her? Wherein lies the trouble; is it not the duty cf her citizens to trace the evil to its source and remedy it? The laws of the town are many and wise, but are they enforced, and if not?why not? In the next issue some of these ugly conditions are to be mentioned, and the ladies of the civic league are going to find out why they are allowed to exist and they ar^ going to cal ori the civic pride of the men to awaken and arouse them to efforts to re-make their town. At the close of the very interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. | Brooker, she delightfully departed from the rule of "no refreshments" at the league meetings, and served dainty cakes and sparkling nectar to [ her guests. . U. D. L. Meeting. Miss Mary Livingston, at her home 5 on Railroad Avenue, will be hostess ' for the February meeting of the 1 Francis Marion Bamberg Chapter U. ^ D. C., on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th, at three thirty o'clock. t The literary program will be com[ poted of reading and songs, telling or the women of the Confederacy. ?;-.vA.v^vv.

The dead man is survived by a wife and jn small son. j Without any clue to the affair, it is believed that 'the man was foully done to death some time last night, 1>s and one of the most atrocious crimes in the annals of Aiken county is inrje dicated. The whole affair is enveloped in mystery. ng Sheriff Henry H. Howard, Rural er Policeman S. E. Holley and a physician hastened to Bath when the j at news was received here at noon today. There they were joined by Coroner A. G. T. Spradley, who started an inquest, but this was adjourn (n_ ed until saturaay. iae curouci ? iuitg quest, as far as it has gone, served rn to reveal only one possible clue that may ultimately reveal the identity of ^ the dead man's assailant 6r assailt ants. One witness, a Bath preacher, on testified to having seen four men late he Wednesday evening travel leisurely t toward the swamp where DuBose ^ was found dead; that DuBose was one of the four, and the only one whom he, the witness, knew.
