One can make no better investment of $1.50 than a year's subscription to The Herald. If you haven't contributed to the dormitory fund yet, don't fail to do so this week. The Herald does not desire nor solicit credit subscribers. Our terms , -are always in advance. The young folks of the high school department of the Bamberg graded school enoyed a picnic at Edisto last Friday. J. A. Hunter's hardware store, which has been ciosea ior some ume, was reopened last week, as the procedings against him were dismissed. Frankly, do you know of any weekly paper which gives more reading matter and a greater variety than The Herald? All for $1.50 a year. The many friends of Mr. E. D. Raney in this city will be delighted to learn mat ne is ue Cipyuiuitu | postmaster at Beaufort, and he will make a good one.

Jno. F. Folk has discovered a very fine spring on his Ehrhardt farm near town. It is right near the edge of Lemon swamp, which runs through the place, and is a very bold spring, the water having a flavor like lithia. It evidently is a mineral wav ter of value, and he expects to have an analysis made to see what it really is. Monday of this week the Carlisle Fitting School defeated Orangeburg college in a one-sided game of ball, the game being played at Rhoad's Park. The final score was 19 to 6, the game being called at the end of the seventh inning to allow the Orangeburg boys to catch the afternoon train for home. The weather was cold and there was a good breeze blowing, which possibly accounts in some measure for the game not being a close one. Surprise Marriage. Last Saturday morning Miss Nelson Wright and Mr. Ben F. Hill sur prised their many friends by getting married. The ceremony took place at the home of Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, he being the officiating minister. They are making their home with the father of the groom, Mr. J. W. Hill, just out of town. The friends of the young couple extend congratulations and good wishes. The bride is the eldest daughter of Capt. and Mrs. W. R. Wright, and is an attractive and popular young lady. Phillips-Guess. Miss Adelle Phillips, a popu'ar 1 young lady of this city, was wedded on Saturday evening at 6 o'clock to Mr. S. D. Guess, of Denmark, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride's parents, on Kendrick stree-c. For the occasion the house was beautifully decorated with ferns, and presented a lovely scene when the bride entered with the groom, the happy young couple being preceded by the bridesmaids, Misses Edna t->+v,q hn'Ho and "LvTln runups, BlOLCl VI l.Ub k/Kuv, ? - Goolsby, of Denmark, who wore white coat suits, white hats and carried bouquets of pink carnations.

I appears that the young lady had been pumping some kerosene oil from a five gallon can and some had spatI tered on her dress from the pumping. A little later she struck a match and a part of the head flew off and fell on her when immediately the front of her dress burst into flames. She was out in a small store house near the residence at the time and she at once ran to the house, but her mother was sick in bed and could not assist her in extinguishing the flames. Her brothers were at the lot right near the house and they at once rushed in and succeeded in tearing the burning ciotning rrom her body, but her injuries were such that her death occurred the same afternoon. The burial took place Friday afternoon at Spring Branch church, in which section Mr. Crider formerly lived. Bamberg Graded School. Honor roll of Bamberg graded school for the month ending April 4.

The Power of Sympathy. Soon after Phillip Brooks's death this story was told by a woman to whom the experience had come. She had to face open and public disgrace. ?h? telt that, she was unable to stand the scorn of the world, and therefore decided that she would commit suicide. She arranged all her plan? and was on her way to the Charles River in which she had intended to end her life. The hurrying crowd passed by, not noticing the despairing woman as she crept along. Soon, however, she saw coming toward her the tall and commanding figure of Phillips Brooks, known and loved by all Boston. She had never had occasion to meet Bishop Brooks, but as he approached her he evidently saw that she was in some trouble or sorrow. Hesitatingly he half stopped, gave her a glance of such pitying sympaj thy that although he quickly passed on, she stopped, turned, and went back to her own room, and on her knees cried out: "O God, if you can create a soul who will give such pity to a stranger, there must be love and forgiveness in your heart! I will take my punishment and strive to live again." Without one word being spoken, the personality of Phillips j i.u : ? Brooks had toucnea ana soueneu mis despairing heart.?Child Welfare Magazine.

Fellow citizens:?One of the fine j appellations' to christians, in the New ( Testament is: "fellow citizens with s the saints and o-f the household of e God." In such a country as ours i there is the very best of opportunity a for the christian to express his high c order of citizenship. The voter is \ both law maker and law keeper. A t good man must make good laws, laws that are righteous and christian. To 1 this end he goes to the polls and casts r his vote. If he is in the minority, t and bad laws, laws which make it t lawful to do wrong, are put upon the f nnnnlfl i + io r? n fault nf hie Wis pCV/piC, U AO JUL \J i.l*UAV VA. <M>M skirts are clear. t The christian attitude to the liquor e traffic must be one of uncompromis- r ing opposition. The christian con- fl science has never put the christian s in the position of choosing between v two evils. This is true because God t is always on the side of right?right a without any admixture of evil or .s compromise. The specious argu- d ments in favor of a liquor selling e law must go down in the light of g pure righteousness, because the li- 3 quor business is sin. Sin can never e be made righteousness by any law. a whether that of a democrat or of a monarchv. To nut un the dispen sary for the purpose of putting out | the blind tiger is like licensing a house of prostitution to put an end t to adultery, or legalizing safe crack- t ing to stop defaulting cashiers. If c the whiskey business is good, it is ^ good in any and every form; if v wrong, it is wrong in every form. We must view it from the standpoint h of ooir Lord Jesus, who came to save & us from our sins and to make us 3 workmen for the establishing of his e kingdom, and, as such, we must do 3 the righteous thing. A high and 0 solemn duty it is to vote; and we h must honor God in performing this c duty. a J. D. HUGGINS. t Denmark, S. C., April 15, 1913 v ?

Columbia, April 15.?Fire early this morning in the 1400 block on Main street, consumed the stock of ?oods of Lorick & Lowrance, practi caily ruined the stQtre building, burned the rear of the Columbia Hotel building and damaged the joods and store of the Jones Crockery Company, entailing in all a loss ef from $100,000 to $150,000, par;ially covered by insurance. Water md smoke damage added to the fire oss. The fire broke out this morning ibout 4 o'clock in the rear of the )lock on which the Lorick & Low ance Company store stands and soon he entire store and the rear of the Columbia Hotel were in flames. The iremen had to fight the flames down i narrow allevwav and the blaze )roved to be a very stubborn one. Cartridges and powder, which was tored in Lorick & Lowrance's store, :xploded at frequent intervals, addng to the danger to the firemen and idding a spectacular scene to the oc:asion. After two hours' strenuous vork the fire was gotten under conrol.

Guests in the hotel were awakened >y th? ?arly alarm of fire, and frightned by the explosion of the cartidges and the nearness of the flames led without waiting to robe themelves in their day garments. Several I'omen escaped from the building in heir nignt clothes and were taken .cross to another hotel. One man, aid to have been a Mr. Jones, an auitor of the Southern Railway, jumpd from a second-story window to the ,rround and escaped uninjured, lost of the hotel furnishings was ither burned or damaged by smoke nd wat?r. Carlisle Wins Two. Carlisle team won the game from he Barnwell club by the score of 6 o 0. The game with Orangeburg tt. r, o niufft O Tirollr-nror for* thp UliCgC was qui IC a nam u> v. ? Carlisle lad&. Only seven innnings rere played, the final score being 19 o 7. Orangeburg scored two in their talf of the first, but Carlisle came iack with 7 in their half of this ame inning. The cold, windy weathr, no doubt, accounts for the large core, number of errors being made n both sides. But the Carlisle boys iave an eye on the ball. They seured twenty hits, McConnell getting , home run, a three base hit, and wo singles out of 5 times up. Fox;orth got a two base hit also. Prof, inderson made quite a sensational atch on second, of a drive which Doked good for a two base hit. The next game is with Norway, 'riday. A game has been arranged uth the Wofford Fitting School team, or Thursday, April 24th. Porter earn, from Charleston, will play two ames here about the first week in lay. The management wishes to thank he people of the town for their neary interest, and is trying to arrange ome good contests for the near fuure. There will be no extra charges or grandstand Friday.

On Monday evening, April 21st, at 7.30 o'clock the ballot box in The Herald Popular Voting Contest will be closed for the second count for leadership in one of the most interesting events which has been pulled off in Bamberg. In this contest the candidate who has made the greatest gain since the first count of a month ago will receive the $10 trimme.d hat to be given by The Millinery Store. No matter what your standing may have been at the conclusion 1 of the first count, it you maKe a greater gain over that count than any * other candidate you will win the hat. For instance, if you had but 35 votes 1 in the count made March 24th, and 1 you made a larger gain than the leader, you will get the hat. If you -i make a gain of 15,000 or 20,000 or 25,000, and the leader in the first count makes a gain of only one less ; than you, you will have the hat cinched for yourself. So get busy and bring in all the votes possible between now and Monday, April 21st. A little exertion and hustling j among the contestants is what is required to win, and the one who is the most active and who uses the best 1 inderment and business sense in her { canvass is the one who will land the i prize. It will come without the ex- 1 penditure of a penny to the one who J captures the prize, but eternal hust- J ling will be the price of success. Are < you going to win it? Or are you going to take a vacation and let the ( other girl beat you to it? And prob- , < ably by a very few votes at that? Whatever number of votes you may 1 have in the second count will be , placed to your credit in the final count which will be made in June, ] but if you make the greatest gain i now you will land the $10 hat which is offered as a special prize at the count on Monday, April 21st.

Vearly Everybody Needs a Liver Stimulant at One Time / or Another. /A 9 Nearly everybody now and then is annoyed with a sluggish, lazy liver or by constipation or by biliousness.

Either children or grown-ups can take Dodson's Liver Tone without oad after-effects and without restric- 4 ; tion of habit or diet. It is a vegetable liquid with a pleasant taste, but a reliever of constipation and liver troubles, and entirely takes the place 3f calomel. The Peoples Drug Store guarantees 3very .bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone they sell. It costs 50 cents per bottle and if you are not satisfied that it is worth the money, they will hand your v * half dollar back to you with a smile.
