SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Court convenes next Monday.
Call in and see us during court
week We are always glad to see
our friends.
Monday was a legal holiday and
the banks were closed, while the
poetoffice observed Sunday hours.
Next Monday is the first Monday
in the month, but there are no public
sales to be made by any of the
efficials.
The train going to Augusta Sunday
was very late. It is due here
at 11.43 a. m.f but did not arrive
until nearly three p. m.
The time for making tax returns
closed on the 20th instant, and
there is a penalty of fifty per cent,
for not making returns by that date.
The new Methodist church at
Kearse has almost been completed.
It is expected that the church will
be dedicated about the first of April.
We learn that W. E. Free, Esq.,
has bought the lot between the residences
of Miss Carrie Bamberg and
Dr. Robert Black ana win erect ai
handsome residence thereon before!
very long.
Rev. E. A. McDowell, pastor of the
Ehrhardt Baptist church, was in the
city Sunday, and preached at the
Baptist church, as Rev. W. R. McMillan
was conducting a meeting for
Mr. McDowell at Ehrhardt.
We are having all sorts of weather
these days. Tuesday morning for
an hour or more it looked as if it
would begin snowing very soon, but
soon the sun came out and it turned
%
out to be a beautiful day.
We are collecting, considerable
money these days, but we need every
dollar due us, as we have heavy
obligations which must be met right
away. All who have received statements
will confer a great favor on
us by remitting promptly.
During the last six years, according
to the report of Dr. Babcock,
superintendent of the Hospital for
the Insane, nine pellagra patients
have been admitted to that institution
from Bamberg county. The
largest number, 83, was sent from
Spartanburg county.
The Herald Book Store received
a large lot of new stationery, blank
books, etc., this week. We expect
to carry. a larger assortment this
year than ever before, and to make
this store a place where you find
practically anything in the stationery
line. Let us know your wants.

We congratulate our young friend
Jno. W. Folk on being appointed an
alternate to West Point by Congressman
Byrnes. A competitive examination
was held a short time ago for
a scholarship at West Point, and as
a result Mr. Folk has been appointed
an alternate and may get an opportunity
to stand the entrance examination.

In a letter not meant for publication
a kind friend says: "My son-inj
law laughs over my eagerness to get
my home paper, but really it does me
good and takes the place of a letter
from home. You can imagine
how I do feel interested in anything
and everything concerning my old
home town." All of which we sin/>orQlr

The city council of Orangeburg
has rented a lot in that city and will
establish a wagon yard for the use of
people from the country. Besides
being a great convenience, it will
avoid the congestion of public streets
on days when there is a large crowd
in town. Bamberg needs a wagon
yard and needs it badly. On Saturdays
the jam of vehicles on our main
street is something awful at times.
Mr. C. H. Brabham, of the Olar
section, had the misfortune to lose
his dwelling house and all its contents
by fire last Thursday night.
Nothing was saved, and the occupants
had barely time to get out
ef the burning building. He also
lost his smoke house and all his
meat, the smoke house being near
the dwelling. The loss is a heavy
one, and we understand he had insurance
of only aboht $300.
Yesterday morning when Bamberg
awoke from its slumbers the small
boy was delighted to see sleet
steadily falling and a good prospect
for snow. The expectation was
realized, for about nine o'clock large
flakes began falling thickly, ana 111
an hour or so the ground was covered
with the crystal frost. The snow
continued throughout the day, intermittently,
and the Ice King reigns
unconditionally in Bamberg.

Washington Banquet.
A very enjoyable occasion was the
annual Washington banquet given at
Carlisle School last Friday evening.
This dinner is given eacn year uy
Headmaster Guilds to the students
on the occasion of Washington's
birthday, this being one of the holidays
observed by the institution.
Each young man has the privilege
of inviting a young lady, and it is
an occasion that is always looked
forward to with a great deal of pleasure
by the entire student body.
The banquet last Friday evening
was a most delightful one, it being
held in the handsome and commodious
dining room of the new brick
dormitory. About one hundred were
present, the only outsiders being
members of the local board of control
with their wives. Headmaster
J. C. Guilds acted as toastmaster,
and the following toasts were responded
to, the speakers all being
students:
Carlisle Girls?C. W. Browning.
Carlisle Boys?Miss Mattie Kizer.
Carlisle Primaries?Mary Ann
Bronson.
Carlisle Faculty?W. J. Bowen,
Jr.
K. L. S.?Andrew Huntley.
S. L. S.?Miss Ethel Reeves.
Athletics?F. M. Bamberg.
Carlisle School?Ryan Woods.
Mr. Guilds was especially happy
in his introductory remarks with
each speaker, and the jokes and personal
allusions were heartily enjoy
ed by the boys and girls.
The souvenirs were dainty little
hatchets, on which the toasts were
printed in gold, and tied with dainty
ribbon, the school colors, black and
old gold.
Rural Route Examination.
There were sixteen applicants who
stood the examination held at the
graded school building in this city
last Saturday a week ago, the positions
to be filled being carrier for
two new rural routes to be established
from the Bamberg postoffice, effective
next Monday. Up to this
writing no information has been received
as to who was successful, as
the papers were forwarded by the
postmaster to the civil service commission
in Washington, who pass on
the papers by number and not by
name. Each man had the same
chance, and they can rest assured
that the one who passed the best
examination will receive the place,
provided any make a high enough
grade.
Temporary Carriers.
As it is possible that the appointments
of rural carriers for the two
new routes from tne tJamDerg 01fice
will not be received in time to
start the service next Monday, the
postmaster here lias been given authority
to appoint two temporary
carriers, to serve until the result
of the examination is known and
permanent carriers take the positions
as a result of the examination.
He has appointed Mr. J. J.
England as temporary carrier for
Route Xo. 3, the Midway route, and
Mr. B. F. Free as temporary carrier
on Route Xo. 4, the route which
goes above town. These appointments
were not made as the result
of any favoritism on the part of the
postmaster, but in the interest of
the service, as Messrs. England and
Free were each familiar with the
routes they will travel and have their
own teams and can afford to take the
position even temporarily, when others
who stood the examination would
have to hire teams and would make
very little if anything out of it.

Saved Him. s
Somewhat of a scoring was administered
the Authors' League of
America at dinner last evening by
Secretary of State Bryan, but the
members nearly had revenge. The
secretary had paused long enough in
his speech to remark that he did not
know whether his address was pleasing
or not to the company, but that
lie had passed the time when he selected
language to please.
Just then he reached for a drink of
water and picked up inadvertently a
glass of champagne. Mrs. Bryan, seeing
her husband's mistake, sprang
quickly from her place, two seats
away from the secretary, and put her
hand over the glass just as it was
about to reach his lips. He laughed
and picked up a glass of water.?

Deaf Wit.
Edison, the inventor, was recently
talking about deafness. He said:
"Deafness has its advantages. My
own deafness enables me to concentrate
my thoughts as I'd never be
able to do if distracted by noise and
conversation. It helps me to sleep,
too.
"Some men, through deafness, actually
get a reputation for wit. I
know a stupid old fellow, deaf as a
post, to whom a lady said, nodding
toward a rich banker's daughter:
" 'Is Miss Bond a pretty girl?'
"The deaf man, misunderstanding
the question, answered calmly:
" 'No, she isn't; but she will be
when her father dies.' "?Philadelphia
