Several young gentlemen from
Bamberg attended a dance in Orangeburg
.Monday evening.
Mr. D. J. Delk is erecting a new
residence on Church street, near the
home of his son, Mr. Robert Delk.
The dry weather still continues.
While it is fine weather for gathering
cotton, still we all would like a
little rain.
Mr. Wilson Johns, son of Mr. W. I.
Johns, of Baldoc, who attended the
Bamberg graded school last year, will
enter Wofford Fitting School at Spartanburg
this fall.
Mr. C. C. Rowell brought a sweet
potato to The Herald office last Thursday
which weighed three pounds. It
was grown by him, and was the Two

Mrs. J. H. Armstrong has purchased
the Ott residence on Railroad
Avenue, recently occupied by Sheriff
S. G. Ray and family. She will
move into it in a short time.
Numbers of our subscribers have
renewed recently, since money began
to circulate, and we hope that
all will renew promptly, as their
subscriptions expire. We need every
dollar due us.
Sheriff S. G. Ray and family, who
have been occupying the Ott residence
on Railroad Avenue, moved
back to Denmark last Saturday, as
' the place they were occupying was
sold to Mrs. Armstrong.
Building operations in Bamberg
are progressing rapidly. The new
dormitory at Carlisle School is going
up right along, while the many
other buildings being erected will
be completed before a great while.
The gins of this section have simply
been overrun with cotton for the
past two weeks, as the dry weather
caused it to open rapidly and to be
gathered at once, while the high
prices made the farmers rush it to
market.
Rev. W. H. Hodges, who has been
spending some time at Hendersonville,
N. C., with his family, returned
to the city last week, and preached
at Trinity church Sunday morning
and evening. His son, Willie, returned
with him.
A telegram was received by Mr. V.
J. Hartzog last Saturday stating that
his son, Robert, who lives in Atlanta,
had been operated on at a hospital
in that city for appendicitis. Mrs.
Hartzog and Miss Manrie lert ior Atlanta
Saturday night.
With the fall season here and the
negroes having more money than
usual, they begin to celebrate by getting
drunk and trying to raise rows.
Seven were arrested here Saturday
afternoon, and as a consequence the
town treasury was enriched to the
extent of $35.00.
The county dispensary board will
not have a bottling outfit to buy, as
much of the apparatus needed for
bottling is still on hand from the time
the county dispensary was in operation
before, having never been sold
because there was no demand for it.
Now it comes in handy.
We are issuing this week our
regular size paper of eight pages. The
six-page paper was lots of trouble
to get out, but we had to do it on
account of practically no advertising
patronage during the summer,
and we gave as much or more reading
matter with six pages than many
papers do with eight.
Dispensary Board Meets.
A meeting of the newly appointed
county dispensary board was held
here Tuesday of this week, all the
members being present. Mr. J. M.
Grimes was elected chairman of the
board, and W. H. Faust secretary.

DEATH OF MR. J. F. JONES.
i
Prominent Citizen and Confederate
Veteran Passes Away.
Mr. J. F. Jones, one of the most |
substantial citizens of this commu- j
nity, died at his residence in this
city last Friday evening, after an
extended illness, in fact he had been
in bad health for some months, although
he was able to be out a good
part of the time. He had been confined
to his bed only a few weeks.
The burial took place at Southend
cemetery Saturday afternoon,
the services being conducted by Rev.
W. H. Hodges, pastor of Trinity
Methodist church. A large number
of friends and relatives were present
to pay their last respects to the dead.
The pall-bearers were:
Honorary?Capt. W. T. Cave,
Messrs. J. H. Zeigler, Calvin Rentz,
A. R. Dempsey, Capt. J. D. Felder,
Drs. J. J. Cleckley, H. J. Stuckey,
and Robert Black.
Active?Messrs. E. C. Bruce, J. C.
McMillan, W\ M. Brabham, B. D.
Carter, H. D. Free, and C. B. Free.
Mr. Jones was born in Barnwell
county and had lived in this section
all of his life. He moved from his
farm a few miles below town to
Bamberg a few years ago and had
resided here since. He married a
Miss Grimes, who survives him.
They had no children. Mr. Jones
was a member of Trinity Methodist
church of this city, and was always
ready to help in any good work
for church or charitable purposes.
He was a Confederate veteran
who took much interest in the reunions
and in his old comrades.
He made a gallant soldier during
the war. He was a member of Co.
H. 17th S. C. Volunteers, Evans's
Brigade, being Orderly Sergeant of
his company. He participated in all
the important battles of the war in
Virginia and his command saw hard
service, although he was never wounded.
He was at the famous battle of
the "crater" at Petersburg, at which
place Coroner J. H. Zeigler, of the
same company, was wounded so severely.
Mr. Jones was seventy-one
years old. He had been chairman
of the county board of registration,
for several years, this appointment
having come to him unsolicited.
While he was always interested in
his county and State, he was not a
politician in any sense of the word j
and took little interest in such matters.
He was a modest, retiring
sort of man, but was indeed one of
the very best citizens of the county.
He will be sorely missed.
Negro Hit With Brick.
Last Saturday night, about ten
o'clock, on lower Main street, a negro
named Tom Hair hit a negro
named James Banks in the back of
his head with a brick, making a
painful wound. Banks was not a
good looking sight when he came up
town with his shirt and clothes all
covered with blood. His wound is
not likely to prove serious. Banks
says there had been no trouble between
he and Hair, but that Hair
and two other negroes were waiting
along the road and as he and another
negro came along Hair walked
up behind him and without a word
struck him in the head and then ran
off.
Hair and the two negroes who
were with him were arrested, but as
it was found that his companions
had nothing to do with the trouble
they were released. As, after investigation,
it was found that the
affair took place outside the city
limits, Hair was not dealt with by
the city, but was turned over to the
magistrate and placed in jail.
Hair, we understand, admits striking
Banks, and says that it was on 1
account of some previous trouble.
Hair had been arrested earlier In
the evening by Chief Miley for attempting
to fight a negro named
Henry Austin, but had been released
on bond, and Austin, when he started
home, came back to Mr. Miley
with the story that Hair had waylaid
him near the cotton mill and
attempted to strike him with a club.
The chief then got after Hair again,
but he made his escape. This affair
happened before Banks was hit,
and no doubt Hair concluded that as
he couldn't get to hit Austin he
could at least get Banks. Hair is
said to be bad negro, and has been
on the chain gang more than once.
He has been working on the farm of
Mr. T. J. Crider near town.

Graded School Opening.
The 1913-1914 session of the Bamberg
graded and high schools opened
with appropriate and interesting exercises
Monday morning. Every
teacher and an unusually large number
of pupils were at their respective
places and, judging from a standpoint
of interest, ready for one of the best
years in the history of the school.
Immediately after the opening exercises,
which were cpnducted by the
Messrs. Hodges and McMillan, pa*
tors of the Methodist and Baptist
churches, interesting and appropriate
talks were made by Rev. Hodges,
Rev. McMillan, and Dr. J. B. Black.
These gentlemen urged very forcefully
the importance of preparation
for life and the part the school is to
play in this preparation.
The enrollment on the opening day
was almost the total enrollment of
any former session, and the indications
are that it will yet grow much
larger. In the high school department
the enrollment is almost double
what is was three years ago, and the
prospects are that it will yet increase
From a standpoint of enrollment and
general interest on the part of the
pupils this session promises to be the
banner session of the school.
The teachers who took up their
work are as follows: Miss May
Zeigler, first grade; Miss Ruth Dib- '
ble, second grade; Miss Alma Black,
third grade; Miss Gertrude Davis,
fourth grade; Miss Irene Bryan, fifth
grade; Miss Louise Martin, sixth
grade; Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, seventh
grade. In the high school department
the teachers are Miss Hattie
Xewsom, Miss Sarah Leslie, Miss Leona
Thomasson, and- E. P. Allen,
superintendent. Miss Urma Black
will have charge of the music department.
All the' above teachers were
here the past session except Misses
Leslie and Black. They are both
Winthrop graduates and teachers of
good experience, the former having
taught five years in high school work
and the latter one year. Miss Urma
Black, the music teacher, is no
stranger to us. She is a graduate of
Greenville Female college both in the
literary department and music. Her
stand in the latter was very high,
she having won the music medal over
several worthy music pupils. She
will no doubt do well in the music
department of the school.
Poison the- Rats.
There is no question but that Bamberg
is being overrun by rats, especially
in the business section, and the
damage these little animals do each
year is enormous. Some months ago
we called attention to the amount
they cost our citizens and suggested
a concerted effort at getting rid of
these pests. Every one knows that it
does little good for one man to put
out poison, but if all did this at the
same time much would be done to rid
the town of rats. Suppose we get
together on the proposition, and we s
suggest Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week as rat killing days for
Bamberg. On those days every person
whose store or barn or warehouse
is infested with rats, put out poison,
and in this way many can be destroyed.
Newspapers Arrive Earlier.
Both the Charleston News and
Courier and the Columbia State now
reacn rsamDerg on ine d:sd a. m.
train, and they are brought down
from the depot by the office clerks
and put in the boxes as soon as the
office is opened each morning. The
postmaster here will be only too
glad to arrange for letter mail on
this same train, provided the town
authorities or those interested will
see that some one meets the train
each morning and takes charge of
the sack. Now the papers are thrown
off as baggage, but letter mail must
be put into the hands of an employee
of the railroad or some one in the
service of the government. This
would be a great accommodation for
the patrons of the office, and it can
be arranged if the people here will
only give the postmaster their cooperation.
U. D. C. Meeting.
The Francis Marion Bamberg chapter
will meet next Tuesday afternoon,
September 16th, at 4.30 p. m., with
Mrs. E. O. Kirsch on Midway Avenue.
A full attendance ie requested.
