Sambrrg lirralb Thursday, May 1, 1913 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. What we need in Bamberg is more work and less talk. The Cuffie Creek picnic will be on Friday, May 2nd. at the school house. The public is invited to come and Uiillg UlililCl. Mr. R. L. Risher, who was no-rninated in this paper last week for alderman, states that he will have to decline, and will not serve if elected. Mr. H. H. Copeland. who was nominated in this paper last week for alderman, states that he will have to decline, as he cannot serve in this capacity. The Carlisle School basse ball team went down to Ehrhardt Monday afternoon of this week and walloped the team of that town to- the tune of eight to two. The annual meeting of stockholders of The Cotton Oil Company Will be held at the office of the company in this city next Tuesday, May 6th, at eleven o'clock a. m. The mill has had a successful year. The residence of Mr. W. A. Klauber is to be remodeled and modernized and work will begin this ;tveek. While the work is going on Mr. and Mrs. Klauber and children will board with Mr?. J. H. Armstrong. The remodeling of the two stores of Mr. G .Moye Dickinson and the store of G. A. Ducker & Brother will certainly improve the appearance of Main street. The handsome fronts of these buildings should be an incentive to others to put in nice fronts The city election takes place next Tuesday. There will no doubt be two candidates for mayor, Messrs. C. W. Rentz and E. C. Hays, although up to this time we do not know of a full aldermanic ticket. The election no doubt will be interesting to many. The contest is sure getting interesting, and the young lady who wins must get out and hustle. Others are working and working hard, and the next count, on May 26th, is sure to show some surprises. Get busy, young ladies, for effort is what counts in this contest. Invitations are out for two beautiful receptions this week. Mrs. Elise B. Walker will entertain this (Thursday) afternoon and Mrs. J. A. Wyman to-morrow afternoon. Both of offoirc will 'he* civPTI itl hOTlOf Of tli'UOC auun o ?? w o* . Mrs. Harry All, of Allendale, and Mrs. J. D. O'Hern, of Lakeland, Fla. The Carlisle School base ball team suffered its second defeat of the season last Friday in Barnwell, when the team of that town defeated the Carlisle boys by a score of six to - three. On Saturday the Carlisle boys played the Wofford Fitting School boys at Rhoad's Park, defeating the Wofford bunch by the score of seven to three. Sunday morning about ten o'clock the house of Elsie Brabham, a hardworking colored woman, situated just out of town, was totally destroyed by fire, with not a dollar of insurance. Very little of the household goods were saved. The fire was up in the roof when discovered, and it is not known how it originated. The loss falls heavily on her, and her white friends have contributed for her relief. Look at the picture of the proposed new dormitory for Carlisle School, which is now displayed in the window at H. C. Folk's store. It a beautiful structure, and will be an ornament to the beautiful campus. Every business man in Bamberg should assist in its erection, and every salaried man should contribute whatever he can, no matter if the amount is not large. The dormitory must be built. We have had several applications from contestants to allow votes for subscriptions after they had been paid in to this office by the subscribers themselves. We cannot do this for obvious reasons. In order to obtain votes for subscriptions application must be made at the time the money is paid in. It is the same way with the merchants' coupons. They are only given out by the merchants at the time purchases are made. Gov. Blease on Grape Juice. Columbia, April 27.?"What would you say to the Governor of North Pnrnlinfl if he offered vou grape juice." This was the message a press service telegraphed Governor Blease last night. "I would say, thank you; some grape juice makes very good wine," the Governor wired back. It is presumed that this query arose from the incident of Secretary of State Bryan's "wineless" dinner, and the press wanted a substitute to the historic saying of the Governor of South Carolina to the Governor of North Carolina, "It's a long time between drinks." , DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH.

Mr. J. C. Guilds will deliver addresses at the regular hours. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Hodges, will preach the annual sermon before the home mission district conference at Cameron. China. The eyes of the world are nowturned upon China. There is scarcely a day that some mention is not made of her in the daily papers. Dr. C. F. Reid, in an address on China, now published in tract form, has some interesting things to say, from which the quotations below are made. Dr. Reid has spent many years in China and is well qualified to speak. He tells of China's hoary antiquity? she was old when Babylon and Nineveh weje young, of her past greatness; of great achievements in valor, in scholarship, in philosophy. For many years she has been as a man walking backward with eyes fixed upon the past. "But now," he adds, "something new- has come to them. It is not war. They have had wars. It is not invasion. They have had invasions. It is not dynastic dimcuities. iney nave had all these. It is something that is changing their thought and heart life, and that something is Jesus Christ! "Few men have been able to estimate the wide extent and power of the impact of Christ and Christian -ideals upon the Chinese. Most of us have been content to measure it by the number of converts made, but the outgoing and ongoing of Christ's kingdom can never be tabulated. "How often do we forget that to the puny effort of a feeble man there may be added the infinite power that swings solar systems! "A half dozen good women in the city of Amoy, heart-burdened with the thought of China's childhood suffering the tortures of foot-binding organized an anti-foot binding society. A few decades later an imperial edict abolishes the custom and fifty million babes are saved from intolerable anguish and crippled lives. "A Presbyterian missionary and a Methodist missionary doctor in the city of Soochow discuss the awful evil of a hundred and fifty million people debauched by opium and decide to organize an anti-opium society. A few years later a petition is presented to the throne signed by one thousand three hundred and thirty-three missionaries. A month later, in almost the identical language of the petition, an imperial edict is promulgated, prohibiting the habitual use of opium and making provision for the abolition of the traffic." A calendar is printed and sent out by a mission press and in a little while Sunday is made a legal day of rest. These few facts are presented to show the origin of some of the mighty forces that are moving the largest nation on earth. Honor Roll Ehrhardt School.

Knight, Editor Bamberg Herald. Dear Sir:?Please permit me the 1 use of your columns to express my thanks and appreciation to my many friends for their kindness during my late long illness. In fact, there was but little they coud do, for the phy- * sician prescribed a simple diet for me, but there were some articles of nourishment not easily obtained, and it was then that my friends came * generously to my help, for which I shall ever be under lasting obliga- " tions. Some called, kindly offering their services, others dropped in at J different times when I was able to receive them. Their presence was indeed a great benediction to me, for V, T not ' among ujus uumuci j. 1 aw.. a few of my former students, and this 1 class is so close to me, the memory * of whom will never be obliterated as ( long as time shall last. I desire to send a word of remem- . brance to Dr. Cleckley and his as- 1 sistant, who were ever prompt to come to my help when suffering mostly, and then also to our faithful minister, Rev. W. H. Hodges, whose frequent visits always brought consoling j comfort to me. Have been here three weeks. I think I am slowly improving. Kind regards to all. Yours sincerely, L. N. BELLINGER. \ Free Lights. 1 We learned a few days ago that s the commissioners of public works, 1 at a recent meeting, had voted to 1 themselves free lights at their resi- 1 dences, and also free lights to the secretary of the board. This is a new 1 procedure for the board here. The plant has been in existence for about 1 eight years, and all those who served i in this capacity heretofore have paid < for their lights just as any other citizen. There has been considerable discussion of the matter since it has become known, and many citi- < zens have expressed themselves as < being opposed to the commissioners ; voting themselves free lights.

A Big Vote Being Cast in Herald Piano Contest. NEXT COUNT ON MAY 36th. Although There is Plenty of Time and Opportunity for Everybody to Get in on This Great Piano Contest, Those Who Have Already Entered Had Better Look to Their Laur els Lest Someone Wrest the Prize From Them. A very short time intervenes between this issue and the date of the next count of the ballots in The Herald's great voting contest, and when the count is made on Monday evening, May 2 6th, the vote will surely show some very surprising gains. A hard fight is being made by the leaders to get the coveted position at the head of the list, and ballots are "ailing in large numbers each day. Subscriptions are coming in. while the merchants' coupons are pouring in all :he time. From the efforts being put forth dv the leaders there is apt to be an rntire change in their positions, and just who will get out in the lead is lifficult to say. Indications are that ;he vote will be very close. Those iown on the list are also making efforts to better their standing and ire hustling here, there and everywhere to get votes. The bonus offers have put new life nto the contest and the young woman who makes the greatest gain will eceive a special prize of $10 in gold. The candidates can get many subscriptions by asking their friends and icquaintances to assist them in the contest for the capital prize, a grand Dbermeyer & Sons' piano. Seven new yearly subscriptions, )aid up, will give contestants 14,200 * - - ? xi *?4.^ -rotes, ana win mane tnem iautuis m :he race for the prizes. Certainly a MOO upright piano, which is rich in :one and appearance, is surely worth ;he time and energy in trying to win md as only one candidate can be the dinner of the capital prize, there is >till some chance to win one of the landsome prizes which the merchants lave so generously donated. A little jarnest work will land the big prize .'or somebody. To those persons who have not subscribed to The Herald, we will give a jentle hint. DO IT NOW. There is certainly one candidate in the list in vhom you are more or less interested ind who would appreciate the help mi would give her by sending your jubscription to this office and asking :hat the votes be credited to her. As :o the value of The Herald as a newspaper, there are hundreds of readers who will tell you about it and will >ay more for it than the publisher vould, because, well, we would prefer our friends to tell all about the ?ood qualities of the paper. Merchants' coupons, counting 25 fotes, can be procured with every jash purchase amounting to one dollar at E. A. Hooton's, The Bamberg Pharmacy, Rentz & Felder's, The Millinery Store, C. R. Brabham's Sons, Mrs. A. McB. Speaks & Co.s., \. Rice's, W. D. Rhoad's, J. D. Copeand's, J. A. Murdaugh's, Peoples Drug Co. The Herald makes the following Donus offers to the various candidates n the great contest; same to hold ^ood until Monday, May 26th, at five V Ml rvnlr J C1ULA.. For every 7 new one year subscripions 10,000 extra bonus votes, makng a total of 14,200 votes. For every 7 one year renewal subscriptions 8,000 extra bonus votes, naking a total of 11,500. For every bunch of 40 merchants' joupons 1,000 extra bonus votes will De given, making a total of 2,000 rotes. One five year paid up subscription and two yearly paid up subscriptions we will credit the candidate with the 10,000 bonus votes, or any combination of paid up new, or renewal subscriptions, for more than one year, totaling seven subscriptions, will entitle the candidate to the 10,000 bonus vote. All o-f the contestants should get busy and make the most of the time intervening between this date and that of the next count and roll ? ~ vftto "Ev<-?m nrpsent indi Up cx iai5^ v \jcv/. jl a vam ? nations there is a big surprise in store for someone.

I With the setting of the sun on Wednesday, May 7th, will pass away the stigma which has besmirched the reputation of Bamberg, and a newera of cleanliness and health will begin. This is the day which has been designated by the civic league as clean-up day, and systematic plans were made at the last meeting for the observance of the same. On Tuesday, May 6, (the day before the general clean-up day) all public places are to be put in order by committees of ladies, giving them an opportunity to work at home the next day, also allowing the street carts to haul away a portion of the trash on Tuesday. Prizes of $5.00 for the largest pile nf trach and S 9. nO for the next larg est pile are to be given to the white boys of the town and like amounts to the colored boys, four prizes to be given, amounting to $15.00. No rules govern these contests save these: The rubbish gathered, including tin cans, bottles, etc., must come from the limits of the town, one boy must notr take from another boy's pile, and the piles must not be made in too public a place. Let those entering the contest hand in their names to Mr. E. P.

Mesdames J. W. Barr, H. J. Brabham, and Elise B. Walker will inspect piles and deliver prizes. A number of boys may join forces, and, working together, have lots of fun, also stand a better chance of winning a prize, which they can divide or give to their ball team, also they will help to make their town clean and healthful. The chief of police, by order ef the mayor, is to notify each merchant to thoroughly clean his place of business on May 7th, inside and behind the stores. Someone, competent and trustworthy, who will do his duty whether folks get mad or not, is to be employed by the league to inspect the entire town for a week after - 1 ??

The funds of the town are exceedingly low. The drug stores, fancy grocery stores, and meat markets are asked especially to have a thorough cleaning. Hereafter committees of ladies are to visit these places regularly, and the places where flies abound, decayed fruit is thrown in front or behind stores, and meat is exposed for sale unscreened with dirty floors and shelves, these places are to be blacklisted by members of the league. Housekeepers are begged to burn their papers on the back, it is very easily done, and when dumped into the streets fly here, there and everywhere. Do not place cans, bottles and other rubbish on the ground, but place them in a box or barrel near sidewalk so that the hauling may be done rapidly.

J HEALTHY LIVER fl MAKES BEAUTY ! j Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy Liver is Necessary to Good Looks and Youthfulness. One of the best known women of the American stage is writing a series , of articles on the preservation of ( beauty. She attaches great importance to keeping the liver active at all times, and she is right. Neither good looks nor happiness will stay long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish. It is not always safe to take calo.mel, the old liver remedy. Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain drug. But the Peoples Drug Store has a remedy for sale that they guar- ' antee to take the place of calomel absolutely, and still be harmless, causing no restriction of habit or diet. This remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting vegetable liquid, but it starts the liver gently and surely and relieves constipation and biliousness so promptly that it has become a dependable remdy in thousands of homes in the United States. There are scores of families in this vicinity who will not be without it in the house and who would not think of 4 * starting on a trip without a bottle of it. ' Peoples Drug Store has sold so much Dodson's Liver Tone that they are convinced of its merit and will give any person his 50 cents back, wrho buys a bottle and does not find that it "takes the place of calomel to perfection.
