Work has commenced on the brick building which Dr. J. B. Black will have erected on Main street, opposite The Herald office. Work has commenced on a handsome residence for Dr. Robert Black, which he is having erected on his lot near the residence of the late H. J. Brabham. On account of the absence of Rev. . E. A. McDowell, the pastor, Rev. W. G: Britton, of Barnwell, will preach at St. Johns next Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, and at Ehrhardt in the afternoon at five o'clock. Mr. W. H. Yarn, who has been living at Olar for several years, writes us to change his paper from that place to North, to which point he has moved. We regret to lose him from Bamberg county, but wish for him much success. He says he can't get along without The Herald, as it always seems like a visitor from home. The Ehrhardt and Barnwell baseball teams played a tie game here x Wednesday afternoon, the final score 1 being 8 to 8 after 7 innings play. The game was called on account of darkness and was one of the slowest t games played here this year, the visitors keeping up a continual wran gle from start to finish.?Barnwell People.

C. Folk, of Denmark, being the winners. These scholarships are worth $100 each a year and tuition. We congratulate these young men on their success. Miss Louise Folk entertained Monday evening of last week complimentary to her house guests, Miss Claire Weymer and Mr. Carl Weymer, of Jacksonville, Fla. Several games of rook were played and Miss Ruth Herndon secured first prize, a box of choice candy. Lovely guest prizes were also given. After the games delightful cream, cake and punch were served. Misses Lalla Byrd and v Martha Ray contributed to the pleasure of the evening by rendering several beautiful selections on the piano. New Advertisements. Mrs. S. H. Counts?For Rent.

According to a law promulgated in Germany in 1871, the $30,000,000 which France paid in indemnity to the Prussians the previous year was guarded in the "Tower of July" at Spandau, the famous fortress situated eight miles from Berlin. Besides this amount of money, definitely set aside, is a quantity of gold in reserve for commercial panics. In order to safeguard such a massive store, great precautions have , v , _ , +T.+TT.rt 1.

The involability of these chambers is secured in the following manner: they have tripple doors with various locks whose keys are held by certain officials of the ministry of war; and these keys each open only one door, so that no one official is ever able to enter alone. The clamps of the chests are seal- 1 ed and stamped in such a way that it is not possible for them to be tampered with without danger of almost instant discovery. Moreover the weight of each sack and chest is registered. ?Harper's Weekly.

I The Petersburg Mine It was forty-nine years ago to day that Grant exploded the mine which blew up the center of Lee's lines at Petersburg. ar From a hidden ravine Jh front of stPetersburg a mine was dug under-! ^ neath the strongest of the confeder- I fa ate forts. The construction of the mine was suggested by Colonel Pleasants, of the Forty-eighth Pennsyl- ag vania, and was prepared by his men, who were mostly coal miners from tb the anthracite regions of the Keystone state. He excavated a nearly horizontal m shaft about 500 feet in length at th the end of which and sixteen feet be- Vrlow the surface of the earth a large 0l chamber was excavated. In this w, chamber were four magazines con' taining in the aggregate some six 0i tons of powder, up to which ran the fie fuse. Just at dawn on the 30th of July wi the mighty blast of twelve thousand th pounds of powder was fired. The big 01 guns in the fort, its garrison of three -01 hundred men and huge masses of m earth were thrown high in the air, pr leaving a great hole (known as the fi? crater) where a moment before the W centre of Lee's lines had been. re When the great black smoke cone fli was helched into the heavens the ca union artillery opened fire along the entire line, while an assaulting col- pe umn rushed toward the. place where ge the fort had stood, but which was sh now the great hole in the ground W made by the exploded mine. .m Down into the crater scrambled al the men in blue (mostly negroes) st and out of the crater the better part w< of them never came. The men in a gray, rallying from the confusion, ht concentrated from every side and T1 poured shot and shell upon the strug- or gling mass of men huddled in the crater. The federal loss wass between er four and five thousand. fo The recovery of the confederates fo after their centre had been blown sp high into the air by the great explo- de sion will ever remain as one of the sa most amazing instances of self-pos- th session known to military history.? sp By Rev.

Dear Sirs: Yours of August 5th ceived in which you invite the Senor and Representatives of Bamberg | iunty to attend a series of meetings ^pointed by your committee and en and there to express our views i to whether the dispensary shall i established. As Representatives of Bamberg iunty in the General Assembly we ust decline the, said invitation for e reasons Herein namea: 1. This is a matter already leglated upon, and there are no issues be discussed that calls for legislation. 2. Because we have no right as epresentatives to enter into such a scussion of the liquor question as >u suggest. 3. Because in doing that which >u would have us do would be a jurpation of the rights of a free inking people, and who would not ;sire us to seemingly dictate to them 1 to what they should do. | 4. Because no Representative i ould pJace himself in the position | ' having it said that he is trying to j ctate to the people on any question id should your invitation be accept-. [ then we would be open to criticism Ld justly so. 5. Because this is a question to s decided by the people upon exting laws and as Representatives 2 have no right to presume that e people want any advice upon the bject. Having stated our reasons for deining your invitation in the manner nt, we desire to say that as a citin of Bamberg county and one much ncerned about her wellfare, we )uia not De aaverse tu gumg um bw<i on the' situation either privateor upon the stump. We may attend some or all of these eetings; according to circumstances, it if we do it will be in the capacity a citizen of the county and not as ir Representative, and if any one tsires to hear our views on the litor question or if there is a desire the people for us to discuss the ifres with you, then we are at their rvice Verry respectfully, J.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:?If i army of aliens, bent upon our deruction, should invade our country, ey would find brave men ready to ce their cannon and rifle balls. We ive defended our homes with our p'r blood before, and we will do it ;ain and again, if occasion arise. Strange as it may seem, however, ere is a foe, whose tolls of human res are greater far than war, to horn we hoist the white flag in oral cowardice, and that enemy is e blind tiger, the lawless element, hose god is money, collected often it of the mouths of defenseless amen and children. Where is the valor displayed by ir forefathers on bloody battledds in days of yore? Are we developing into a race of eaklings, who shall cower before is beast? Shall we fold ir arms, furl our banners, stack ir arms and surrender our cause, eekly> saying, "Prohibition will not ohibit?" Never, never, we shall rht again if licked on August 19th. e mean it to be a war to the death, imembering that one can put to ght a thousand, in a righteous use. There is but one excuse for the dissnsary: the money the county will st out of it. Shame on us that we ould wish to collect taxes that way. e have supreme contempt for the an who lures another to kill, and so for the man lured. It is no retch of the imagination to say that b do this very thing when we place dispenser behind the counter to tnd out slow poison to his fellows, le difference is in the weapons tly. The officer of the law who fails to [force the statutes is responsible r lawlessness: the citizen who votes r the legalized sale of liquor is re onsible for the source of a great ;al of crime. Casting a ballot is a cred privilege, and every voter for e dispensary is individually reionsible for it. Because one man ils to do his duty, is no reason why lother should fail to do his. He ay think that the dispensary is the >ct cnintinn nf the nrohlem. hut the uth is that it is no solution at all. A strange reasoning that reaches e conclusion that it is best to galize a crime that is the source of 'erv other crime. He who would opose a license on murder or theft ould be cast out with indignation, 'en though these laws are flagrantly olated every day. OTIS BRABHAM. Allendale, S. C., August 12, 1913.
