His stock of gods to his farm in
the country.
The new subscribers and renewals
have been coming in mighty nice recently.
If they would keep up this
way all the time we would have no
reason to complain.
Mrs. Seanie Wilson, of Ulmer,
moved to the city this week, and is
boarding with her mother, Mrs. M.
L. Johns. Mrs. Wilson will make
Bamberg her home.
Messrs. E. B. Price and M. T.
Johnson will soon open up here a
ladies' store with dressmaking in
connection. They will occupy the
store now used as the pool room.
The bank statements published
this week show that the people of
Bamberg county are prosperous. The
deposits in the various banks of the
county are larger than ever before.
In the election of officers of the
law association at the University of
South Carolina, at Columbia, held
last week we note that Mr. H. J.
Riley was elected clerk and Mr. R.
P. Bellinger law editor of The Gamecock,
the college magazine.
Mr. C. R. Gillam, who has been
keeping books for C. R. Brabham/S
Sons for the past two years, has accepted

also assist in managing the insurance
business of ftiley & Copeland.
The auditor will be at Ehrhardt
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
January 26, 27, and 2,8, to receive
tax returns of real and personal property.
Every tax payer in Three Mile
Township should avail himself of this
opportunity to make his tax returns.
We have received a copy of the 1
program of the sixth annual farmers'
one week course in agriculture 'i
" " 1.-"
given Dy me isew nampsnue v^uncgc,
to be held at Durham, N. H., Jan'
uary 26th to 30th. We note on the 1
program for Monday, January 26th,
Prof. W. E. Stokes will* speak on
"Pure Seeds and Seed Testing." 1
Invitations are out announcing the
approaching marriage of Mr. W.
Frank Johnson, of this city, to Miss
Bertha Inez Trent, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. T. Trent, the wedding
to take place at the home of the
bride's parents in Leaksville. N. C.,
Wednesday, the 28th instant. Mr. '
and Mrs. Johnson will make their 1
home in this city.
Mr. C. H. Mitchell was again taken
to the hospital in Charleston this
week. He was operated on mere ior
appendicitis some months ago and
the wound had never healed well,
and in jumping from the depot platform
on Monday the jar he received
. reopened the wound. He is getting
along very nicely at the hospital, and
he will be home in a week or ten
days.
The Sunday hours now adopted by
the postoffice here seem to be giving
universal satisfaction, and it shows
the wisdom of the department in requiring
that the office shall not be
opened during the hours of, church
services. There is not a crowd
around the office now in the mornings
waiting for their mail and consequently
not attending church. Both
mails are put up immediately after
church, but the daily papers, which
arrtve on the early morning train,
are put up at nine o'clock.
The two young Greeks who came
here from Charleston some time ago
and bought the restaurant of H. F.
Free, left town some time Sunday
night without notice to any one. They
ran the restaurant as usual up to
closing time, and since then have
not been seen, nor does any one know
anything of them. They left all j
their clothes and other effects. They
had been befriended by Mr. G. A.
Ducker, and they owed him considerable
money. They were to move
the restaurant Monday to the building
recently occupied by the postoffice,
which had been repainted and
remodeled for them by the Messrs.
Murphy, the owners.

"Judge" Bamberg, a negro man,

Appeal From Dr. Derieuv.
Dr. W. T. Derieux, corresponding
secretary of the State mission board,
with headquarters at Greenville, S.
C., has issued the following appeal to
the Baptists of Bamberg and vicinity:
'"I am addressing you through
your community paper, as well as
through the Baptist Courier, appealing
to you to enable me by personal
gift from, each of you?to pay an embarrassing
debt now resting on your
State mission board.
"Quite a number of people have
sent contributions, varying from
twenty-five cents to ten dollars, but
the amount does not near pay the
debt. By just a small sacrifice and
some self-denial, hundreds of our
people could send me at least one
dollar on this' debt. This, Tbeg you
to do. Please do not imagine that
your neighbors will send theirs and
therefore you need not bother to
send yours. This is probably just
what your neighbor is thinking about
you.
"If you send cash, you will receive
a receipt at once; but if you
send a check or postoffice order, you
will need no retaeipt. The name of
each giver, and amount given, is put
on my book of remembrance. Act
at once, so we can settle this early
in February."
Home Mission Society.

a Christmas box valued at $85.00 was
sent to a minister of the conference
It was a joy to give this box, and it
carried a blessing to the parsonage
home.
In a spirit of consecration and
prayer the home mission women race
a new year of service. God grant
that each one doing "what she can"
may look up and see the "shining
of His face in loving approval. -

Subject for Sunday morning:
"Gideon's Call." For Sunday evening:
"The Broken Idol."
The Good Roads Matter.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: The
report of the so called committee
published in your paper, recommending
that the U. S. government aid in
building roads, in Bamberg county,
nfforoH hv Ton pressman Bvrnes. "be
not accepted" is a surprise to us.
Where was this meeting held
which created that committee? How
many people were present? Who explained
the proposition of the government
to this committee and who
does this committee represent?
Was this committee gotten up and
this report made and published for
the purpose of giving our county officials
an excuse for not giving us
good roads or was it for the purpose
of keeping the good work of Congressman
Byrnes from being seen
and thereby the way made easier for
some one who wishes to run for congress
against Byrnes, to influence
votes against him?
It certainly would be a great thing
if the building of -roads could be
kept entirely out of politics. Bamberg
county has gpent over one hundred
thousand dollars in road building
and hasn't a single permanent
road in the county. Isn't It time that
we were learning how to build good
roads?
At a meeting held at the court
house there were present seventy-five
to one hundred of the best business a
men in {he county who heard the M
proposition of the U. S. government B
presented by Congressman! Byrnes B
and the plan of road building by the B
government presented oy .ur. roms, m
a government road engineer. The
financial condition of the county was
looked into and the proposition was
considered and it was resolved by
unanimous vote. "That it is the sense
of this meeting that the county of- s
ficials of Bamberg county make such
arrangements as is necessary to accept
ten thousand dollars of the ^
funds offered by the government for rroad
building." rive
Now, Mr. Editor, if you needed a
good house on your farm and a re- that
liable person were to come to you and ing
say: "You need a gQOd house, I want whe
you to have it, I will furnish a good .ye
architect and the very best plans and COUj
specifications and superintend the w^e
building of the house and give you jive,
one-third of the cost of the house
and when it is finished it shall be agai
all your own," is there a man in j e
Bamberg county who would not ac- ^ee
cept the proposition? THAT IS tjon
JUST WHAT THE GOVERNMENT T
OFFERS BAMBERG COUNTY g0
through Congressman Byrnes, yet qqa
this so-called committee recommends pac]
that this offer BE NOT ACCEPTED. gom
We are inclined to believe that this part
committee and its report was gotten ^ed
up and published as a political s
scheme to prevent the acceptance of foncthe
government aid and the building an(j
of a model road in this county, knowing
that a model government road in __
do
this county would be a monument gur(
to Congressman Byrnes and that it are
would be a very hard matter to in- an(j
fluence our people to vote against iR t,
him after this road had been built. grar
Are we, the citizens of Bamberg pj^
county, going to allow ourselves de- t)ak)
prived of good roads to gratify the men
desire of some person who wishes to ^gg
gain some political advantage in a mai)
race for congress against Byrnes? di(j
Some steps should be taken at once h00(
to wipe out the report of that so-call- B
ed committee and secure tftat ten ing
thousand dollars from the govern- ones
ment for tRe roads of our county. ^a(j
