The parcels post business at the
Bamberg postoffice continues to increase,
as the people are finding out
how much money they can save in
the transportation of packages.
The bank statements in this issue
make interesting reading. These
statements show that the people of
Bamberg county have a lot of money c
on deposit in the various banks.
Mrs. Leila Smith, wife of Rev. C.
B. Smith, died at the home of her
mother, Mrs. Copes, in Orangeburg t
Tuesday morning, after an illness of
about two months. The burial took j
place in Orangeburg. s
Under a ruling of the postoffice g
department, job printing can now be
sent by parcels post, and as a conse- (
quence The Herald office is sending s
a lot of work to its out-of-town cus- c
tomers through the mails, s
The young men of the town gave a t
very pleasant dance in the city hall
Wednesday evening of last week.
Music was furnished by a band from
Orangeburg, ana tne young ioiks g
spent a delightful evening. t
*G. A. Ducker is erecting a small l
store next to his two-story store on t
Main street, which we understand d
will be used as a tailor shop by two s
white tailors who will locate here as p
soon as the building is ready for oc- c
# cupancy. ' v
The soil survey of Bamberg coun- t
ty, now being made by government 0
officials, is progressing nicely under c
the direction of Mr. W. E. McLendon. h
This survey will include every road 0
and stream in the county, and a map
will be made of the county. This is to
an important work, and will* be of G
much benefit to our people. *
Mr. G. D. Ryan, superintendent of D
the electric light plant, has recently g
had a fence built around the reser- *
voir at the power house, and now he
is having a cement floor put down in ^
the power house, it taking the place
of the old wooden floor. He will *
soon commence work on a new supply
house to be built of brick or cement
blocks.

The write-up of the play, "Topsy

civic league, should have appeared in
last week's paper, but tve did not
receive it until last Wednesday, and
as we have been handicapped for the
past two weeks, on account of not
having power in the day time to run
our linotype, we were forced to omit j.
the write-up until this week, much
as we regretted having to do so.

LYNCHING THREAT AT AIKEN. S
g
Jailer Prepares Heavy Guard for a
Bradford Courtney's Slayer. V
Aiken, Feb. 10.?The capture, con- D
P
fession and bringing to the Aiken jail
yesterday of Harris Myles, the negro .
who killed Mr. Bradford Courtney,. 1j
0
produced a near-lynching to-day.
It was generally understood that,
the negro would be brought here
from Augusta late in the afternoon,
but Sheriff Howard slipped him into
the jail yesterday morning. Though
he kept the fact very quiet, it leaked
out in some way, and during the day
a crowd began to form. Later inv
formation came to Aiken that another
crowd was coming from Horse
Creek Valley, and the negro would
be taken. Lynching talk increased f
and Solicitor Gunter' and the mayor 2
were notified. They held a hurried
meeting, which resulted in Jailer r
Nollie Robinson sending his family
away from his residence, inside the s
' 1 s
jail wall, and putting a force of I
armed deputies in the house.
All night the jail was guarded by
half a dozen armed deputies on the r
inside of that building and other deputies
in the jailer's house.
Sheriff Howard has declared that
he is fully determined that the negro i
shall not be taken, but will go to
trial in the court house for his crime.

Banquet by the Ladies.
One of the most pleasant affairs
;iven in Bamberg in a long time was
he banquet given in the city hall last
"hursday evening to the men of the
own by the ladies of Trinity Methoiet
church. Many invitations were
ent out, and a large number were
iresent, proving possibly the truth
'f the old saying that the nearest
ray to a man's heart is down his
hroat. The menu was a most elabrate
one, and everything which
ould tempt the appetite was to be
ad. The room was also nicely decrated.

HISTORIC SURRENDERS.
Bazaine Gave Up 600 Officers and
173,000 Soldiers to Prussians.
In the story, of war there is no
chapter more thrilling than that
which tells how, a generation ago, a
comparative handful of Turks held
the village of Plevna for five months
against a quarter of a million of Russia's
picked soldiery.
Again and again the Muscovites
hurled themselves against Osman
Digna's trenches and redoubts, to be
swept back again and again, leaving
thousands of slain behind them, ^nd
it was only when hunger and disease
had his band of heroes in their
grip that the gallant Turkish leader
made his desperate and historic effort
to hew his way through the
enemy's lines?a "forlorn hope"
which ended, as it was bound to end,
in failure, says Tit-Bits.
But not until the Turks were surrounded
by the Muscovites in overwhelming
numbers and Osman himself
was seriously wounded, did the
white flag at last give the signal of
surrender. When, later, the vanquished
hero was led before the Russian
Czar, carrying himself as proudly
in defeat as in victory, Alexander,
with a cordial hand-grip; gave him
this generous greeting: "Sir, I congratulate
you on your fine defense.
It was one of the most splendid feats
in the history of war."
The first Napoleon, after the
M -P TX7o+Arl AA
UX'U \Y llillg Ui&dSlCl VI uaicnuu, 1J.JJ.VIing
escape from France impossible,
surrendered to Capt. Maitland, of the
Bellerophon, on July 15, 1815. As
he stepped on board, his breast
ablaze with decorations, and escorted
by an imposing retinue of officers and
servants, it was almost with the air
of a conqueroi* that he addressed
the captain: "Sir, I come to place
myself under the protection of your
King and your laws."
Much more abject was the downfall
of his successor, the third Napoleon,
that September day in 1870
when he was compelled to resign,
both crown and sword. Surrounded
in Sedan by an overwhelming host
of the enemy, 50,000 of his men dead
or taken prisoners, hife army demoralized
under a deluge of death from
500 guns, he realized that the end
had come. Then with the white flag
of defeat fluttering over his citadel,
he wrote to the Prussian King this
pathetic note:
"Brother?Not able to die at the
head of my troops, I place my sword
at your majesty's feet.?Napoleon."
But France was not yet beaten.
Marshal Bazainestill hndalarge army
under his command; but he, too, was
in a perilous plight, for he was shut
up in Metz by a German force as
great as his own. When sortie after
sortie was repulsed with heavy
loss and he realized that escape was
impossible, he tried to save his army
by surrendering Metz. But to his
overtures Bismarck returned the
haughty answer: "I occupy France
with more than a million men, and I
make no peace with a marshal. The
surrender must be Unconditional."
And on October 27 Bazaine capitulated,
and three marshals, 600
officers and 173,000 men laid down
their arms and became prisoners of
war. For Bazaine a worse fate was
reserved; for he was later tried by
court-martial and sentenced to degradation
and death?a sentence
which was commuted to one of 20
years' imprisonment.

Miss "Topsy Turvy."
The play "Miss Topsy Turvy,"
which was presented at the Fitting
School auditorium last Friday evening
for the benefit of the civic league,
was a decided success from a financial
view and as a source of. pure
enjoyment from oeginning to end.
The cast of characters in the play
were as follows: Topsy Turvy, Miss
Mell Kearse; May Golden, Miss Elise
Rentz; Mrs. Clarendon. Miss Ollie
Lee Dobson; Miss Spriggs, Miss
Belle Cooner; Lo.-d Clarence, W. C.
Duncan; Frank Go den, Rex Stokes;
Deacon Jones, F-'ink Folk; and
Ned. Tillman Feldtr. So well did
each one act their part that it would
be difficult to say which did best in
his or her role. However, Ned, the
negro, as interpreted by Mr. Tillman
Felder, kept the house convulsed
with laughter.
Between the acts a most beautiful
"Fairy Drill" by the following twelve
little girls was given: Evelyn Brabham,
Mildred Jones, Mary Williams,
Mary Ann Bronson, Natalie Hooton,
Marguerite Dixon, Helen Free, Irma
Dixon, Mary Frances Walker, Yancey
Graham, Ida Brabham, Adelle Brabham.
These little girls were trained by
Miss Mell Kearse and most gracefully
did they execute the movements,
skipping dancing and twirling their
accordion pleated skirts of pink
and wh;te with immense bows of
pink on their heads?they could
easily have been passed for veritable
fairies, fresh from fairy land. The
march and swaying melodies for
these movements were played by
Miss Providence Graham, to which
the children kept perfect time.
One of the greatest treats of this
entire entertainment was the music
furnished. Miss Simsie McMichael,
of Orangeburg, delighted her audience
in three exquisite vocal selections,
the third time in that lovely
little song which never grows old,
"I'm a-wearyin' for you." So heartily
and vociferously was she applauded
until she was forced to give an encore,
which she did most gracefully.
Between the acts, Dr. O. D. Faust
and Mr. C. W. Rentz on their violin
and horn with Miss Elise Rentz as
accompanist furnished music of
which Bamberg audiences never tire
and always long for more.
ONE PRESENT.
BEER BOTTLE STARTS FIRE. *
Glass Reflected Sun's Rays and Put
Forest in Blaze.
What, if any, connection there is
between the annual Fourth of July
intoxication of lumberjacks and the
fnrocf Ince ic a rrppstinn tn bp se
riously investigated by the State forest
fire service the coming year.
A direct assertion of a fire being
caused by a beer bottle descarded
beside the trees by some holiday reve'er
has reached the commission and
has determined the service to cause
aD investigation, because a large proportion
of forest fires have heretofore
been of most mysterious origin,
says a correspondent of the Spokane
Spokesman-Review. In an official
statement just made public the State
forester says:
"Many fires are reported each
season by fire wardens, originating
along the traveled roads and trails
from causes unknown. No doubt
many of these fires can be attributed
to the carelessness of travelers along
the highways. A cigar stub, cigarette
or match carlessly thrown and
left to smoulder is the cause of many
fires.
"Some of these may have been
caused by the sun's action?rays focused
through glass bottles discarded
by travelers. Those who are familiar
with the ways of some woodsmon?ha
tha shantv hnv of parlier
days in the Eastern States, or the
lumberjack of the Western States?
know that many an empty bottle has
found lodgment in the forest material
alongside of road or trail on the
way to camp. This is not true of all
woodsmen, but some have their failings
and have left empty flasks by
the wayside.
"Under date of November 17,
1912, J. Markson, of Tacoma, Wash.,
in a letter to the State forester, and
fire warden, writes of his observation
and suggests a method for preventing
such recurrences of fires in
forest material from this cause. His
letter in part follows:
" 'Eight years ago, while living in
Gray's Harbor, my duties caused me
to cover a good deal of territory in
and through the woods. One day
at noon I was crossing an unused
trail up the Wishkah river when I
discovered a little smoke coming
from among a few leaves. I looked
about, saw no one, and after carefully
investigating I discovered a broken
beer bottle, the bottom reflecting
squarely the sun's rays, making it
act, as it did, a burning glass. I believe
if glass found in the woods, especially
in open dry places, was kicked.
or buried under earth, the glass
could not do the work I saw glass
trying to do. I kicked this bottle
under ground and put out the fire
j st beginning.' "

separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each

The relative percentage of the food digested is

These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely digestible,
while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it v
is the source of very many bodily ailments.
