SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
The Bamberg graded school will
open its fall session on Monday, September
8th.
Barnwell county produced the first
bale of cotton for this season, but
Bamberg was only a few days behind
_ her.
Miss Lillian Gentry, of Florence,
who taught in the Denmark school
last year, will teach in the graded
school at Georgetown the coming
year.
A post card from our friend, Col.
J. R. Owens, says that he is having
a fine time on Sullivan's Island; that
life is worth living down there: never
a hot day nor night. He and Mrs.
Owens will be there until some time
next week.
ft.'-"--.'-.'
Mrs. A. B. Jordan gave a lawn
party Friday afternoon in honor of
her niece, little Miss Rita Jennings,
of Bamberg, S. C., who is her guest
this week. After the little ones had
enjoyed quite a number of interesting
games, refreshments were served.?
Dillon Herald.
Mrs. Rosa Carter, wife of Maj. Joe
Carter, of the Lodge section, died on
Saturday, August 12th, after an extended
illness. She was fifty-six
years old. She was a daughter of
Mr. J. J. Fender, of Lodge, and had
been a member of Mt Pleasant Lutheran
church from early childhood.
She leaves no children.

The first bale of new cotton for
this season was brought to town last
Friday. It was ginned at the ginnery >
of the Cotton Oil Company, and was
brought in by Mr. J. J. O'Neal, who
lives just outside of town, on the
* Ehrhardt road. The bale weighed
446 pounds, and was sold to C. R.
Brabham's Sons for 12% cents the
pound.
Announcement is made of the engagement
and approaching marriage
of Miss Jessie Boyd, of CornwelU
Chester county, to Dr. Cecil B. Ray,
of Olar. It will be remembered that
Miss Boyd was principal of the Olar
graded school last year and made
, many friends in that community. She
visited Bamberg on several occasions,
, and her friends in this city will be
interested in the announcement.
Some excitement was created in
the neighborhood of the passenger
station last Saturday night by the
report of several pistol shots. A
strange negro had gotten into a fuss
with another negro near the station
and drew a pistol. When Policeman
Jennings and Mr. J. C. Move went to
arrest him he ran, but turned and
" 1 TV, n\T I
urea on mem seveiai umcs. iuW
returned the fire, both emptying their
pistol3, but the negro made good
v his escape. Nobody was hit.
Mrs. G. W. Boylston, of Blackville,
died suddenly in this city Tuesday
night, at the residence of Dr.
Geo. F. Hair. She was the mother
of Mrs. Hair and with Mr. Boylston
had come down Tuesday afternoon
for a visit. What time during
the night her death occurred is not
known, as she was found dead in
bed yesterday morning. She was in
her usual health on retiring, and the
end came quietly while she slept. The
body was carried to Blackville yesterday
morning for interment.
The bank statements published in
this issue show that the banking institutions
of Bamberg county are in a
most prosperous condition, notwithstanding
the fact that there are more
banks in the same size territory in
this county than any in the State.
Bamb'erg is one of the smallest counties
in the State, and yet there are
located within its borders seven
banks. The'Peoples Bank, of this
city, has had an especially prosperous
year, in spite of the stringency of the
money market, the undivided profits
being larger than at any time since
the bank was instituted.

Glenn Goes to Charleston.
Mr. L. M. Glenn leaves the city
today to accept a position on the
staff of the Charleston Evening Post.
Mir. Glenn has many friends in Greenville
whom he has won during the
seven years that he has lived in the
city, four of which were spent as a
student at Furman and the remaining
three as city editor of The News.
Mr. Glenn's newspaper career has
been unusually brilliant. Immediately
after his graduation, he joined the
reportorial staff of the Columbia Record,
going from there to the News
and Courier. During the three years
that he has been connected with The j
News he has been an earnest and
painstaking worker, evincing real
ability to succeed in his chosen field.
That Mr. Glenn has eccepted the call
' to Charleston is a source of genuine
distress not only to his fellow work
