Attend the mass meeting in the Fitting School auditorium this (Thursday) evening and hear Dr. Snyder's address. Mr. J. P. Murphy, who has been ill for some time, is gradually growing worse. He is getting weaker steadily, and a fatal outcome is seriously ap- ( prehended. ] Remember the address of President < H. N. Snyder at the Fitting School < auditorium this (Thursday) evening, j Every citizen of Bamberg should j hear him. All are cordially invited. ] There are entirely too many loafing 1 licgivca uu iuc oLitt-uo ui uuuwu.q, none of them will work if offered a job. They should be made to work, and council ought to enforce the vagrancy law. It is certainly strange. Pick up any paper you will and you will see accounts of people being arrested and fined in many counties of the State * for selling liquor, but none in Bam- s berg. Attend the mass meeting at the Carlisle Fitting School auditorium 1 mrvr-yrw-n- f Th nred?v 1 evening. iv-rnvi xvi? \ * , w 4 Everybody is invited to come out ^ and hear Dr. Henry N. Snyder, presi- ( dent of Wofferd college, who will . deliver an address. Mrs. W. D. Rhoad and Mrs. J. W. \ Barr have, during the past week, been soliciting funds for the purchase of a new carpet for Trinity Methodist i church, and as a result of their efforts 1 a handsome new carpet will be put i down at an early date. i Last week Mr. J. R. Owens, of this city, had a case in the Edgefield court for damages against the West- 1 ern Union Telegraph Company, y ^ _ i / it resulting irom tne iaiiure udeliver a telegram from Bir- 1 mingham, Ala., to Mr. Owens, who It was then at Johnston. The jury J returned a verdict in favor of the 1 telegraph company. The very heavy rains of last week \ did considerable damage all over x this county. Streams were all at flood stage and many bridges have been washed away. Saturday neither of the rural carriers from the Bam- . berg office could make their trips on account of bridges being washed up. Farming lands have been damaged 3 by having great gullies washed where ^ they have been prepared for planting, and the low lands are covered with water. Farming operations will ( be much retarded on account of, the heavy rain fall, and the damage to the countv will be considerable on account of roads and bridges having ' to be repaired. Play at Graded School. 1 * ] Friday evening, March 28th, there i will be a play presented at the gra- i ded school auditorium. The play is 3 given to raise funds to pay the balance due on a piano for the school, and the teachers have been devoting a good deal of hard work to it for some time. The cause should appeal to every citizen of Bamberg, and there should be a full house. The teachers have given their time to this work, and the patrons should show their appreciation by their attendance. As a rule The Herald charges for notices of this sort, but we are not charging for this, as we feel it is j only due those who are lending their , efforts to pay the debt on the piano. , 0 _ Death of Mr. A. G. Yarn. 1 The body of Mr. Aaron G. Yarn 1 was brought to Bamberg Tuesday morning of this week on the eleven 1 o'clock train, he having died at his : home in Charleston. The burial took < place at the family cemetery in the lower part of this county. Mr. Varn ; was a little more than fifty years old, and leaves a wife and several children. He lived in Bamberg for a number of years, and at one time was postmaster here. Later he lived at : Branchville, Midway, and other places. ( Colston School.

The movement for an enlarged Fitting School has taken definite shape, and an active canvas will commence in a few days for the new brick dormitory. Committees have been appointed to call on every citizen of the town, and a whirlwind campaign has been outlined. The address of President H. N. Snyder at the Fitting School auditorium this | (Thursday) evening will be the Dpening of the campaign, and on tomorrow (Friday) the committees will endeavor to see everybody in town. There are ten committees appointed, each consisting of two members, and these no doubt can cover the city thoroughly in one day. The members of the ten committees are: H. J. Brabham, J. J. Cleckley. W. D. Rhoad, G. Frank Bamberg. A. W. Knight, John Cooner. A. M. Brabham, Henry F. Bamberg H. C. Folk, J. F. Carter. D. J. Delk, G. O. Simmons. J. A. Byrd, Jno. F. Folk. Geo. F. Hair, C. W. Rentz. J. A. Spann, A. Kirsch. J. W. Stokes, D. M. Eaves. / xThese committees will start to work bright and early Friday morning, and every citizen of the town should subscribe liberally. This is QOt a gift but an investment for the good of the town and community, aDd if we want Bamberg to grow and prosper and thereby help every interest in it, we must put some money into it. John D. Rockefeller never said a truer thing than that you get dividends out of life in proportion to what you put into it, and if we people who live in Bamberg expect to draw dividends we must invest something. No man's money belongs exclusively to him. If you have made money in Bamberg you owe something to the communimi V. Vl n TTA iy. l lie uppui tuiiiLies iicic xi<x?c combined to make your success, and any investment made only enlarges the opportunitites for greater success. The town of Bamberg can easily erect a brick dormitory for the Fitting School, costing $20,000, if they will only do it. The town can make no better inveetment, one that will enhance the value of property and benefit every business and material interest of the comunity. Town Ticket. The following gentlemen have been suggested as a suitable ticket for mayor and aldermen at the coming municipal election: Mavor?A. M. Brabham. Aldermen?W. D. Rhoad, G. O. Simmons, D. M. Eaves, J. J.

The Civic Improvement League of Bamberg, rfe-organized a few months ago with only a very few members, has steadily grown until now the organization numbers sixty members with new names being added at every meeting. But this number is not sufficient to do the great work which the league has planned to do for Bamberg. Surely the women as a whole will hear and heed the call to come , and help in this stupendous undertflkine-?the makine of our town into , - - O ~ J one of the cleanest, best drained, and so most healthful and beautiful towns j in the South. This can be done, and, if energy and enthusiasm count for ( anything, will be done. It is going to take a great deal of time, but what , is time worth to us when there is the ever-present dread, if not the actual presence, of sickness, possibly death in our homes which could be averted by sanitary precautions in our town. The mopey problem is a serious one, but with oneness of purpose in 1 the members and the co-operation of the business men ana the town as a whole, the league hopes to raise several hundred dollars this spring. The cook book which they are now compiling has been liberally patronized by the business men in the way of advertisements, which the committee great- 1 ly appreciates. But more receipes are ( needed of every kind?how to cook vegetables, meats, breads, how to make pickles, preserves, jellies, etc., as well as cakes, pies, puddings, salads, sandwiches, candies and all kinds of deserts. The ladies of the town are earnestly begged to send in their receipes at once, either to Mrs. G. F. Bamberg, Mrs. Henry J. Brabham, or Mrs. W. P. Jones. This committee wishes to place the book in the hands of the-publisher at an early date, so that the funds may be available for the spring campaign of health. If every lady in town will purchase one and each member of the league will write and induce at least five of her friends to purchase one, the five hundred copies can be easily disposed of. As? to the campaign of health proposed?and right here we earnestly solicit the aid of the newspapers in the war against malaria, typhoid and other diseases?a careful plan has beer/ mapped out. First, beginning at home, every house keeper is beeped to ioin the forces by at least putting her premises in perfect order and keeping them so. Then a sunflower brigade has been ordanized and the efficiency of sunflowers as absorbents of malaria is going to be tested. Won't you join by planting a pint or a quart of seed? If they do no good, they will at least beautify your surroundings and fatten your chickens. These are small things, easily done, but now, listen! The league has had a member of the board of health write the State heaith officer, asking that he come to Bamberg, make a careful examinatiqp of the entire town and then, after consulting with the phy sicians of the town, explain to her citizens just what should be done to make Bamberg an ideally healthful town, with the expenditure of tne least amount of money possible. A public meeting is to be held at the court house, date given later, at which time this free advice?of such momentous importance to our town? will be given, and we feel that every citizen will shirk his responsibility to his children and fellowmen who fails to attend this meeting and profit thereby. The civic league then stands ready to help in this great work by contributing every cent which can be made by these patriotic women towards the carrying out of any plan made for the improvement of the health of the town. The meeting of the league will be held at the home of Mrs. G. F. Hair next Thursday afternoon at four o'clock/ Every member is urged to attend. Baptist Church News. Prayer meeting at the Baptist Church will be Wednesday evening instead of Thursday evening. Be sure to come to the Easter exexercises of the Baptist Sundayschool.

After the Herald went to press last week there were only two civil cases tried. The case of the Bamberg, Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railway Co. against Mrs. E. R. Kearse resulted in a verdict for $600'for defendant. This was a case of condemnation proceedings for right of way for the railroad, the company having appealed from the verdict of a condemna tion jury which gave the defendant 1 $623.00 for the land involved. The last case tried was that of Robert R. Ooney against the Salt- * keatchie Lumber Co., a suit for damages. This case was tried at the November term of court and resulted in a mistrial, and it met,the same ^ result this time. The plaintiff alleged damages in the sum of $50,000 for personal injuries sustained while J in the employ of the defendant ( company.
