One is announced for the legislature in Barnwell county. It is understood that the dispensary board is contemplating moving the dispensary on Main street some time in the near future. A party went from Bamberg Monday evening to witness the presentation of "Mariette." a play in which Evelyn Thaw is star, at the Columbia theatre. Mr. Geo. H. Edwards, who has been a member of the faculty at Carlisle School since last September, tendered his resignation this week, which was accepted, and he returned to his home in Darlington. Rev. J. W. Sparks, an Episcopal minister from Charleston, will hold divine services at the Presbyterian church, this city, on Sunday the 22d instant, at tl o'clock, a. m., and 4.30 p. m. The public is cordially invited to attend. It is stated that State Detective Walters will soon be transferred from Bamberg, probably to Orangeburg. It is understood that this action will be taken upon the wi*hes of officials of the county, one detec tive being deemed sufficient for the county. Mrs. G. W. Garland suffered a slight injury Saturday as a result of a rather unusual accident. As she was burning some trash in one of the .rooms of the Johnson hotel, a pistol cartridge which was among the trash, exploded, and the empty shell struck her on the lip, slightly lacerating it. New equipment is continually being added to The Herald's equipment. We are not standing still, but will . - keep pace with the growth of the % town, and, in fact, ahead of it. It is our desire to increase our business very materially this year, and we will appreciate all favors extended in the way of orders. In renewing his subscription, Mr. M. Blount, who is now living in Fernandina, Fla., says: "Your highly esteemed paper, which is always a ?V , welcome visitor to our home,^ must keep up its visits, therefore you will find money enclosed for same.

We thank our friend for his kind words. -V ; Representative Hunter spent Sunday in the city, from his legislative duties In Columbia. Mr. Hunter is prominently identified with the legislative affairs of the capital, being a member of numerous committees, and chairman of several. In addition to these duties, he is secretary of the committee investigating the affairs of the State Hospital for the Insane. Will the people of Bamberg never learn any better than to scatter waste paper over the post office lobby; There is a large waste basket in the lobby into which waste paper should be thrown. The custom of spitting tobacco juice on the floor does not appear to be decreasing. The postmaster will be obliged to close the lobby while mails are being distributed unless the public will act more decently. People from various parts of the county continue to drop in at the post office in order to see the new building and equipment, and it is grauxymg 10 us tiiai our enons xur the improvement of the town are appreciated even by people who do not live here but are residents of the county. They know that a nice post office is a fine advertisement for the county as well as the town itself, and all are delighted with the new outfit. We have issued this paper under difficulties this week. Our linotype operator, Mr. A. M. Wright, was summoned by telegraph to the bedside of his father, Rev. G. A. Wright, who is critically ill at his home in Johnston, which makes us short one man in the printing office. The sickness of Mr. James Armstrong requires the editor to give his entire time to the post office, and this issue is gotten out with but little help from him. If there is not as much news x as usual, you will know the reason why. Mr. A. M. Denbow, the populai cashier of Peoples Bank, has de veloped into a splicer of couples whc wish to enter the realms of matrimonial bliss.* Last Sunday afternoon in the office of the judge of probate in the court house, Mr. Denbow officiated at a double wedding when he pronounced the solemn words thai tied the knot or noose for W. H Brabham to Ida Kearse and Charles Romeo to Ethel Atterberry. BotI couples were colored. A good crowc was present to witness the "judge's' first effort in the matrimonial line. Our merchants have begun to receive spring goods. r The Enterprise Bank has entered a new departure in banking for this i . section of the country, by keeping open every Saturday night from seven until 9 o'clock. 1 Mr. M. A. Moye. Jr., asks us to change the address of his paper to Asheville, X. C. He is now running between Knoxville. Tenn., and Ashe. ville and Salisbury, X. C. ; We are sending out statements this week to many who owe us, and . we trust all will respond promptly, as we need the money. We have not , sent out statments for several * months, and the money due us now is considerable. In the death of Mr. John A. Byrd Bamberg loses one of her most en. terprising business men. Mr. Byrd was a good man, and his many friends over this way regret to hear of his death.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Our new job press and motor arrived this week, as well as a lot of extra supplies for our linotype. This bill of material cost us nearly $400, and it must be paid for right away. Those who are indebted to The Herald can find no better time to "come across" than right away, for never will we need it more. At least we hope not. Representative Hunter stated Sunday that there is little likelihood of an adjournment being reached this week by the general assembly. There yet remains a large number of important and pressing matters to be considered and voted on by both branches of the legislature, and Mr. Hunter says that the probability is that the assembly will have to reassemble next week for several days. J Bank Election. V > At a meeting of the board of directors of Bamberg Banking Company, held last Saturday, Mr. G. Frank Bamberg was elected as director to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J. A. Byrd. Dr. J. B. Black, ?- - ^ ^ 4-V. ^ nAniHort f WHO Il(l?> litJJU tllC pusiiiuii \jl ? iv-vpresident for the past two years, was elected president, but he will not devote his time actively to the affairs of the -bank, as he stated that he could not give up his other affairs and devote all his time to the bank, as had been done by Messrs. H. J. Brabham and J. A. Byrd during their incuihoency as president. Therefore the directors elected an advisory board consisting of Dr. J. B. Black, G. Frank Bamberg, and W. D. Rhoad, and they will hold frequent meetings and advise as to the conduct of the bank, but Mr. D. F. Hooton, who has been with the bank as cashier for many years and upon whom a great deal of the responsibility has rested, will be actively in charge of the institution. Heretofore the president has drawn a salary, but Dr. Black would not accept the position with a salary attached, as he stated that^he could not afford to give the position all his I time. Mr. G. Frank Bamberg was elected vice-president to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Dr. Black as president. Resolutions on the death of Mr. J. A. Byrd were adopted at this meeting, which will be found in another column. DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH. Preaching every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

Whenever I meet Charles C. Townsend he appears either to be just returning from Canada or starting for the Santee. or preparing for a journev to the Sora. Maybe he is only home from the Santee. starting for the Sora and contemplating Canada. Anyhow, Charles is the most persistent hunter of my acquaintance of little game and big game, game that llies, walks or swims, and game found in any latitude from just south oi the Arctic Circle to a trifle north ol the Equator. At the moment I met him the other day Mr. Townsend was just up from the huge club reservation on the Santee River, and what do you suppose he had? The head of 2 wild bull! You didn't know there was such a thing as wild bulls in America, nor did I; but this unerring riflemar got the head of one, so I'm sure the rest of the beast must have been there. "The prudent pursuer of the wild bull," said this genial lawyer-hunter, "keeps near a climbable tree, because when wounded he is more ferocious than a mad bull moose." "Having seen quite a number of very angry bull moose" I began, but was interrupted by the gunner. "I don't mean the political kind, but the sort that comes tearing through the woods after you have woundea him." It appears that the inhabitants of a 7,000 acre island at the mouth of the Santee River abandoned it many years ago when the rice crops failed. They left behind cattle, goats and' pigs, so that at the present time there are several hundred cattle far wilder than buffaloes, as well as wild hogs and goats. The head which Mr. Townsend fetched from the Santee swamps is a beauty, and, strangely enough, excepting the huge horns, it somewhat resembles a buffalo.?Girard in the Public Ledger. u An* I * lltl a iu vv ' - -w. Pana, 111.?While slaughtering hogs on his farm recently, Frank Phillips of Moweaqua, north of Pana, killed one with three well developed hearts. The animal weighed 280 pounds. There was the heart of unusual size, and to each side and slightly above two additional hearts that had been in good working order. Use of Oil as Fuel. The extension of the use of ^petroleum as fuel by no means indicates any substantial inroad?for the present or for many years?on the coal trade. Estimates as to the world's production in 1913 indicate that in coal the increase alone over the previous year exceeded the total production of petroleum. The output of petroleum last year is believed to have been somewhat under 55,000,000 metric tons, com pared with 47,000,000 in 1912, while the output of coal was frilly 1,300,000,000 metric tons last year, against 1,230,000,000. Should the demand for petroleum largely supplant coal it is very doubtful whether, even after many years, it could be produced fast enough to meet the world's fuel needs. And unless many new and extensive fields of supply were discovered and developed, the price would be prohibitive. South Carolina Wins. Dallas, Texas, February 1 6.?Pedigree Seed Farm, Hartsville, S.
