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

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

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 new job press and motor arrived

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.

WILD BULLS OF SANTEE.
Charles C. Townsend Kills a Big; One
in South Carolina.
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.
