(Ehr iBambrrg tbmtibj J j Thursday, October 30, 1913 - I SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout j the Town and County. We would like for some of our cor- j respondents to wake up and give us j the news from their comunities. There was a large party of folks j from the Ehrhardt section in the I city yesterday on their way to the : State Fair in Columbia. The Columbia Record is now is- [ sued seven days in the week, its first I 1 Sunday edition appearing last Sun- j day. A fine edition it was too. | The special term of court convenes j here next Monday morning and the regular term one week later. Only civil cases will be tried next week. Next Monday is the first Monday in j the month and sales day. Several tracts of land are to be sold by the - Master and one by the Sheriff for taxes. A number of people from this city and county have gone to Columbia this week to attend the State Fair. Several people went up in automobiles. Our people are in earnest about a new passenger siauon iur oamucig, and it looks like their efforts are going to result in a nice new building in the near future. Mrs. J. A. Wyman and Mrs. E. B. Walker will entertain to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at the handsome home of Mrs. Wyman, complimentary to Mrs. L?. P. McMillan. Several negroes were arrested here last Saturday afternoon and night, and as a result the treasury of the city was enriched to the extent of about one hundred dollars Monday morning. Negroes can't stand prosperity. They have plenty of money nowadays, and many of them must get drunk and disorderly in order to let other people know it. This prosperity hits the newspaper man just the same as hard times. In hard times the merchants say that it is no use to advertise as the people haven't any money. Now they are not advertising very much, as they say they can sell all of the goods they want to without advertising. So there you are. What is the poor newspaper man to do, after all? The people of Bamberg county cer tainiy nave money mis ian. mei clerk of court informs us that he is J kept pretty busy these days marking mortgages satisfied, many of them being mortgages of real estate which have been standing several years. He gave it as his opinion that the people generally are in better financial shape than since the county was formed. More old debts are being paid than ever before. The new post clice building, now being erected by the publisher of! this newspaper, is costing us a lot of money, and we need every dollar due us. Especially will we need money during this mouth, and we beg all! who owe us a dollar to send it to us not later than the 15th of November, as the building will be practically completed by that time. If your subscription is due, or if you owe us for advertising or job work, or a book store account, pay us by the 15th. The hospital movement is getting along nicely. Plans and specifications from several architects were considered by the committee at a meeting held several days ago, and another meeting of subscribers to the fund will be called in a few days. The committee in charge of the matter is going carefully into all matters connected with the enterprise, and at the next meeting the entire proposition will be presented in definite form in detail as to all arrangements. The dispensary at Bamberg opened up for business last Saturday and soon sold out the supply of whiskey on hand, as all the stock was the samples sent by various houses when bids were opened. Some of the samples were sent to Denmark, and they were soon sold out there also. Some of the whiskey arrived Monday, and the dispensary here was opened and is doing business. Dispensaries at the various towns in the county will be opened up in a few days, as the whiskies arrives. The dispensary at this place took in about $280 Saturday. Building operations in Bamberg are progressing nicely. The post office building will no doubt be ready for occupancy in the next two wepks nr snrh mattPT\ The fixtures are now being manufactured and will be shipped in time to be installed when the building is completed. Laying of the cement floor is now going on, and the metal ceiling and front will be put in during the next few days. The patrons of the office are really going to be surprised when the building is Snished and the fixtures installed, for everything will be much nicer than they had any idea would be the case.

Felder, died at their residence in this city last Sunday I morning at nine o'clock, after an ex- i tended illness. His health broke down last year, and he spent a long time in Asheville, N. C., but he came home several weeks ago and grew worse until the end came. The burial took place at Restland cemetery Monday morning at ten o'clock, in the presence of a large number of the friends of Mr. Felder and family. The services were conducted by Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the Baptist church, assisted by Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of the Methodist church. The pall-bearers were: Messrs. D. M. Eaves, E. H. Henderson, W. D. Coleman, B. D. Carter, Drs. H. J. Stuckev, and Chas. F. Black. Mr. Felder was born in Orangeburg county, but had lived in Bamberg most of his life. He was a popular young man with old and young and a very large number of friends sorrow because of his untimely death. He was twenty-six years old, J and it is especially sad that a young ! man of promise should have been I tnk-pn awav in his earlv manhood. Home Mission News. ???? Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock the Home Mission society held its October meeting at Trinity Methodist church. After the usual routine of devotional exercises and business matters, those present listened with interest to the report of the annual meeting recently held at Conway by the delegate to that meeting, Mrs. E. O. Kirsch, which was nicely supplemented by Miss L. | Cleckley, the district secretary, who was also present at this conference. At Conway there were workers direct from the field of home missions. The speakers were practical and could give first-hand information. The home mission work of the Southern Methodist church was strongly emphasized, and it is certain that any one who attended all of these sessions must be better informed and consequently more interested in the work. Mrs. McDonald, of Nashville, Tenn., who is an authority on mission work, was the chief speaker, and her addresses were brim full of interest and' inspiration. Mrs. Bourne, our conference corresponding secre* tary, reports sixteen new auxiliaries with four hundred members. We 1 1 oiv + rm-r* Xlctvt: uuw uxie auuui cu auu. suiccu adult societies with two thousand four hundred and seven members and four hundred and eighty enrolled in the young peoples societies. We have now six trained workers in South Carolina, and two city missionaries. Orangeburg is the banner district, and has been for the past two years. We would also claim in all modesty the banner for our own Bamberg auxiliary. Anderson, Spartanburg, Chester, and Manning extended invitations for the next year's conference. The invitation to meet at Chester was accepted. Was There Ever a Boy Who Didn't? If the Massachusetts judge who compels boys to repair the damage done by carving or writing their initials and names on doors and walls succeeds in breaking the practice, he deserves to have his own name carved on the scroll of fame, Before George Washington cut down the cherry tree he was scribbling "G. W." all around the premises. Little Julius Caesar probably did the same thing, and before Cadmus brought along initials with the alphabet the boys probably cut symbols into the soft stone or marked up the walls when a cave was the paternal mansion.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: As the question is just at this time being often .asked, are you going to the state fair, or to some county fair, would it not be well for the good people of Bamberg county to begin to agitate the question of having a county fair next year. i know it is too late to have one this year, but as we have one of the finest counties in the state and as the counties are having such fine success with their county fairs, i see no reason why Bamberg county should not have one. By starting the ball to rolling now, i feel sure that by the fall of 1914 we could have a fair equal to other counties and of which we all would feel proud. What say you? Respectfully submitted, J. B. BLACK. Bamberg, S.

The subject for this meeting was Franz Shubert. The club was treated to a skillful interpretation of a very pleasing program. It was as follows: The Life of Shubert?Miss Leonard Folk. Vocal Solo?Mrs. H. N. Folk. Shubert's Influence on Music? Miss Ethel Black. Duet?Military March?Misses Annie Lou Byrd and Franke Folk. Misses Black then served a delightful salad course. After chorus practice the meeting ^ was adjourned to meet next with Miss Kate Rentz.
