Simmons, and D. Dowling purchased new machines last week. The regular monthly meeting of the Francis Marion Bamberg Chap? --ill ^ /wf Ttmcrlov ler win uc uciu a ber 16th, at 3.30 p. m. with Mrs. R. L. Risher. The man who invests in Bamberg real estate now will make money. There is no better investment as we \ see it, provided you don't pay toe high a price. Mr. Fox has erected a saw mill not far out of town, on the Cannon's bridge road, and is cutting a lot of timber on the river, on lands of Mr. J. A. Byrd. The annual meeting of stockholders of Bamberg Banking Company will be held at the office of the bank in this city on Saturday, December { ' , 20th, at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev. W. R. McMillan is attending the State Baptist Convention in Bennettsville this week, and in consequence there will be no preaching at the Baptist church in this city next Sunday. The ginning report for Bamberg county ^ip to December 1st. as shown by the government report, is 24,091 bales against 17,050 bales at the same date last year. It looks like the 1913 crop for jthis county will reach nearly thirty thousand bales. If you owe The Herald anything, don't wait for a statement to be sent you. We are so. busv we haven't time to send out statements, but we sure need every dollar due us. That / % new post office building is costing a lot of money. gjr\ , Looks like the new post office is going to be rather more of a Christmas than Thanksgiving present to the people of Bamberg, but we feel sure that they do not regret the long wait, as they are getting so much nicer equipment than they expected. City council has not held an election to fill the vacancy caused bv the resignation of Mr. C. C. Rowell as night policeman. Temporary officers are now being employed, and we understand that an election will be held soon. Several applications have been filed. As soon as a permanent night policeman is elected, the postmaster here hopes to effect an arrangement b/ which first class mail can be re'ccived here by the 5:45 a. m. train. If this arrangement can be made Bamberg will then have a fine mail service. There will be a big Masonic meeting here to-morrow (Friday) evening. The local lodge will confer the \I. M. degree and a banquet will be served. Several out of town lodges have been invited, and a pleasing time is anticipated. Officers for the lodge for the coming year will also be elected. Graham & Black moved their law offices this week to the new brick building opposite The Herald office, erected for them by Dr. J. B. Black. The building is a two-story brick structure. Graham & Black occupy the lower floor, and we understand Dr. Thomas Black will have his dental offices upstairs. The tiling in the post office lobby is now being laid, the fixtures are in place, and it is thought the building can be occupied the first part of next week. Those who have not yet se Iected boxes are askea to see tne post master at once and pick out the box they want. He can be found around the old or new post office most any time and will be glad to have you select your box without delay. The many friends of the family in Bamberg will be interested in the approaching marriage of Miss Henrietta May Steadman, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Spann Steadman. She will be married on Tuesday afternoon, December 23rd, to Prof. Walter Reid Wightman, and the wedding will take place at Emory Methodist church in Saluda county. Mr. and Mrs. Steadman formerly lived in Bamberg, and have many friends and relatives in the city. Rails on the Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad have been laid as far Little Saltkeatchie swamp, and the trestle over this swamp will be built at once, the contract for same having been let, so we learn, to Messrs. B. E. Grandy A 5nn? wlin will ?0 to WOrk On it right away, material for same being already placed on the ground. As 600n as this swamp is crossed the track laying can proceed rapidly right on to Bamberg, as the trestle over Lemon swamp was completed several months ago. It will not be long now before the sound of the whistle will be heard in Bamberg. J* < Real winter weather we are bavins: this week. Motoring over to Orangeburg to attend plays has become a popular pastime. Several from here attended a play there last Friday night. ? Xew Advertisements.

Last Sunday morning about two o'clock the home of Mr. W. S. Milev, situated in the Buford's Bridge section, was totally destroyed by fire, with all its content^. Not a single article was saved, as the fire had gotten such headway when discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Milev had only time to escape from the building themselves. Then, too, Mr. Miley was ot +Vio tinio bo bavins: srone home OI^IV Ut vuv 0 0 from Bamberg a few days before because of sickness. There was some insurance on the building, but none on the furniture and household goods. There was little wind, and what ( there was blew the fire away from his barn and other outbuildings, there- , fore nothing but the residence was . destroyed. Mr. Milev is now chief of police in Bamberg. The house was , practically new, having been built in . the last few years, and was a nice, 1 comfortable home. Mr. Miley's loss will be considerable, and in addition ; he lost a number of family rdlics which cannot be replaced. Magistrate Lain Wounded. Magistrate O. B. Lain, of Olar, was shot and painfully wounded Tuesday afternoon by a negro named White, i a son of Thaddeus White. The shooting occurred near Govan. Mr. Lain went to arrest a negro, and while old man White and his son were near by, the old man with a rifle and the young * fellow with a shot gun, he paid little . attention to them, not thinking they wanted to mix up in the arrest. However, when they had gotten off a , short distance the negro raised his , gun and fired at Mr. Lain, sprinkling both his legs with bird shot. Mr. Lain at once drew his pistol and shot the negro, the bullet' taking effect in the hip. By this time his legs gave way and Mr. Lain fell, and he was under the impression, as the ne gro fell as soon as Mr. Lain shot him. ! that he was. killed, but it was found ' that he was not seriously wounded. < Mr. Lain was at once taken home ( - and his wounds dressed. While his wounds are painful they are not likely to prove serious. The negro wounded by Mr. Lain was arrested and taken to Olar and ! locked in the guard house. He was : brought to Bamberg this (Wed' nesday) afternoon and put in jail. Thaddeus White, the father, who was armed with the rifle, made hie escape. 1 He was pardoned by the governor last year.

HODGES, Pastor, Railroad Avenue, Bamberg, S. C. Subject for Sunday morning: The Christian Armor. The devotional Epworth League * meeting Tuesday evening was of un- J[ usual interest. Quite a large crowd of young people were present. The subject was Henry Vandyke's beautiful Christmas gem "The Other Wise .Man." One pleasing feature of the evening was a Christmas song by Mrs. H. X. Folk. The woman's missionary society of the Methodist church has sustained an incalculable loss in the death of Mrs. Mary Helm, of Louisville, Ky. After two week's illness of bronchial pneumonia the end came & at noon November 12, 1913. A short while before her death she sent for friends, among them Mrs. R. W. MacDonnell, through whom she sent her last message to the church. "Tell the church," she said, "I have a great peace; the presence of the Lord is with me; Jesus is my all in all. Tell the church how I love it; Fi tell the church how I worked for it; 1 1 tell the church that my work did not burden me, but was a joy; tell the church of the joy of fellowship I found in the work: tell them I am going to be with Jesus." She died as she ?*; lived in close and intimate fellow- HI ship with her Lord. To such there is no death. "If a man keep my word, he shall never'see death." Miss Helm was blest with unusual social and intellectual advantages and these in early girlhood she consecrated to Christ and His church. She wanted to go to Japan as a missionary but was prevented by ill a health/ As a charter member of the M Foreign Missionary sooietv and a fl member of the Board of foreign mis- H sions she devoted herself to futher- H ing the work of missions. S Later she was more closely identi- ^ bed with home missions chiefly through her work as editor of Our Homes. For twelve years her great intellect and heart were devoted to 5=5; arousing the women of'the church to needs and conditions in the homeland. Mrs. MacDonnell says of her S work in Our Homes, "Her editorials, gin her scientific investigations, her I broad spirit of philanthrophy and yoi; Christianity gave the paper a name be* and advertised the church among Poi men and women of philanthropic ac- boa tivities." May the influence of her beautiful imi life lead many to devote themselves she to the work she loved and the Christ can whom she served. sta; _ ing Lodge Meeting at Jennys. Jennys, December 6.?Ever since ^ the Masonic lodge, Buford No. 27, has been at Jennys, the first Saturdav in December is looked upon as the big day, and to-day was no exception to this custom. A fine as- tlle semblage was present, and the com- wa! munication was very interesting. The w&{ election and installation took place. the and with the exception of two offices the old officers hold over. From labor the lodge was called to refreshment, and such a dinner as was served by ^ Mrs. G. W. Jenny and Mrs. B. V. Kearse. These young ladies did themselves ^ proud in the elaborate spread and the graceful style in which they serv- anc ad this magnificent feast. Everything in season and out of season was there r*ni to tempt the appetite.
