SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Fine weather we are having these
days.
Bamberg people generally are in
better financial shape this year than i
ever before.
From the way Bamberg is growing
it is sure going to be some town before
very long.
Numbers of uew subscribers ana j
4 renewals are coming in these days,
but we want more. We need the
money.
The streets of Bamberg have presented
a busy appearance since the
holidays, something rather unusuai
for this season of the year.
Mr. F. E. Copeland, of the Ehrhardt
section, has issued invitations
to the wedding of his daughter, Miss
Sophie, to Mr. Wm. G. Muller, the
ceremony to occur at the home of the
bride on Wednesday evening. January
21st.
City council has never undertaken
a more important work than the
* brick culvert they are preparing to
build. This will be a great thing
for the health of the town. Pity
the ditch couldn't be covered all the
t way through town.
| Saturday. .
The number of bales of cotton
ginned in Bamberg county for tnis
season up to January ist was 27,006 ^
bales, as against 19,485 for the season
of 1912. It seems that Bamberg!
county will produce for the past season
about thirty thousand bales,
which will be the largest number of
bales in the history of the county.
Mr. J. A. Byrd had a letter from
his son, Cliff, a few days ago. and be
is now in France, touring with a Darty.
Mr. Byrd had not heard from
/' Cliff in some time, and was under
v the impression that he was still in
San Francisco. Cliff's party is touring
Europe by automobile, and they

The Herald has been issued very
irregularly the past two weeks. Last
week we did not print until Frii
day. One reason was we have been
' simply overruft with work and a
, short force as well, and last ThursI
4
day our belt which drives our gen*
erator at the cotton mill broke and
delayed us very much. However,
the boys are working hard and we
jp v ;5 will catch up in a few weeks.
&:V:.V - Box rents have nearly doubled
since the new postoffice was occupied,
and if there is a demand for still
more boxes the postmaster will pu;
iD another section of key boxes right
away. If any considerable number
of the patrons want boxes and will
register their names for same at t^e
postofiice, another section will be
V.*- \ procured right away if needed. *We
' v ' i have some combination boxes now
which are unrented.
Generally at this season of the
year we print a six-page paper,# but
we are going to give, our readers the
best paper this year we have over
t'* published, and, carrying out this
r?. *. v* ' '
policy, we are printing each week
- # a papei' of eight pages, although the
v amount of advertising" we are carry*
ing is very small. Tq print a paper
of this size each week is very expensive,
and we trust our subscribers
will appreciate it, even if our advertisers
do not.
? -. . Some of our contemporaries ha^e
I been complaining about their power
bills recently. We note that none of
them who published the figures of
tneir bills came anywhere near whit
it costs this newspaper each month
v . \ - for light and power. We have little
doubt but that The Herald pays mo: e
each month for lights and power
than any weekly newspaper in the
State. But we are not complaining,
for it shows that our presses and
^ . machine are not idle.
In another column will be found
- > the notice of opening books of subscription
to the capital stock of the
, Panama Canal Bank, the books to be
- . opened to-morrow (Friday.) We
learn that most of the capital stock
has already been subscribed and chat
the bank is a certainty. An option
has been secured on the two-story
brick building of G. A. Ducker. on
Main street, and the matter of the
purchase of this building will be decided
at the meeting to-morrow.

Mr. Alvin Wright, after learning
to run a linotype machine in The
Herald and News office, has gone to
run the machine in the office of the
Bamberg Herald. Mr. Wright was
an apt pupil and was very quick in j
lftarnine the maniDulation of the
wonderful machine. He gives promise
of becoming an expert, as he is
V. a tine workman for a beginner.
Bamberg is a good town and the
Herald is a good paper. We hope
all will be pleased.?Newberry

! Joseph Maree, colored, who was
well-known by most people in Bamberg,
he having conducted a tailor
shop here for a number of years,
died at his home ii^ this city last
i Friday, after a long illness.
The wife of T. J. Banks, a colored
carpenter of this city, died Tuesday
of this week, after a protracted illness.
The home of Banks, situated
near the colored graded school in
this city, was burned a few weeks
ago, he and his family barely escaping
with their lives. No doubt the
exposure his sickrlwife sustained that
night hastened her death.
Announcements have been received
in this city of the mariage of Mr.
Albert Leonard Spann, eldest son of
Mr. J. A. Spann, of this city. He
was married in Sylvester, Texas, on
Thursday evening, January 1st, to
Miss Ethel Elizabeth, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Price Carroll.
They will make their home in Sylvester,
where Mr. Spann has been living
for several years, looking after
his father's large farming interest
there. His many friends in his old
home extend congratulations and
good wishes.
Some weeks ago we were amused
at a man who came into our office
and insisted that he could not afford
to pay more than one, dollar a
,year for The Herald. Said he wanted
it and liked it very much, but
could not pay mqre than a dollar a
year for it. We turned him down of
course, and told him plainly that if
the i^per was not worth $1.50 .a
year it was not worth anything and
was not worth taking out of the
postoffice, even if given to% him fiee.
The day* of the one dollar paper is
past, for the weekly who prints all
its pages at home.
Rural Route Examination.
Last Saturday Postmaster Knight
received the application blanks for
applicants who wish to take the examination
for the position of carrier
on the two new rural routes from
the Bamberg postoffice on whicn
service is to be commenced March
\ #
2nd. The civil service commission,
which has charge of this examination,
has fixed Saturday. February
14th, as the date for holding the examination,
and the postmaster has
arranged with Superintendent E. P.
Allen to hold the examination at the
graded school building.
Those who wish to stand the examination
will apply at the postoffice
for application blanks and a circular
giving full information to applicants.
These applications must be
filled out and sent to the department,
and the applicant will receive
a permit to stand the examination.
No one will be permitted to stand
the examination who has not a permit
card from the commission. The
postmaster has nothing whatever to
do with who stands the examination.
He will conduct the examination and
forward all the papers, but the department
has absolute control of who
shall enter the content and the papers
will be graded by the commission.
' The questions will be sent
here sealed and opened in the presence
of those who are taking the
examination, and when they are
finished all papers will be sent to
the commission for grading. There
will be a number of applicants, as
several have already called and asked
for the banks, and we feel eure
that the man who gets the appoint
ment will have to make good marks.
All who wish to enter the examination
should call at once for application
blanks.
Receution at Denmark.
A very largely attended and p'etty
reception was given by Hon. and
Mrs. S. G. May field at their handsome
home in Denmark Friday evening
of last week in honor of their
son and his bride who were recently
married. Their son, Mr. W. D. Majfield.
was married the week before
to Miss Marion Riley. The affair was
held in the beautiful home which
was -formerly owned by Miss Don
Ella Rice, and which was recently
purchased by Mr. Mayfield. Mr. 3.
G. Mayfield met the guests at the
door, he being assisted by Mr.
J. K. Mayfield, Mrs. Mayfield
with the bride and groom, received
in the parlor, where they
were assisted by Misses Don Ella
Rice and Carrie Riley. From here
the guests were escorted to the
punch bowl in the next room, ?he
folding doors between being thrown
open, and from there they were in\ited
into the dining room, just
across the hall, where a delightful
salad course was served. The entire
lower floor of the home was
crowded with guests during the evening,
and the occasion was indeed a
delightful one. Several from Bamberg
attended.
at the Methodist church will be "The
Holy Spirit." Mr. J. C. Guilds will
make an address at the evening service.
Mr. A. S. Hartzog's Mother Hurt.
t
Mr. A. S. Hartzog was called to
Barnwell Christmas week on account
of an accident to his mother who was
very painfully hurt by being struck
by an automobile. M. Hartzog returned
Saturday and reports that his
mother was getting on as well as
could be expected for one of her age
to sustain a broken arm.?Greenwood
