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.

Mr. Miley's Home Burned.
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

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.

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;

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.

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. And the jolly
crowd for some two hours made in- '
