This is the day of candidates and rumors of candidates. The governor has named G. E. Bamberg as township commissioner for Bamberg, vice J. B. Hunter. March has been doing fine so far in the matter of new subscribers and Sr renewals. We only hope it will keep up this way all the year. r " A. M. Denbow, as trustee, sold the bankrupt 6tock of groceries of O. L. Lain last Saturday. Mr. B. W. Simmons was the purchaser. The woman's home mission society, will meet as usual in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist church next Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. __ The street hands arq engaged in opening up the side drains on Main street and otherwise improving the street. At the bankrupt sale Saturday of ' the stock of Mr. O. L. Lain, the entire stock was purchased by Mr. B. W. Simmons, who is now conducting the store. # , The governor has appointed the following as members of the county board of registration: George C. Turner, Denmark; George J, Hiers, Ehrhardt; Julius G. Rhoad. The various township boards of equalization were in session here Tuesday, going over the tax returns of their townships. The county board will next consider them. The total sales of the various dis v pensaries in Bamberg county for the month of February amounted to $11,962.46, according to the report of the dispensary auditor just issued. The men who work for The Herald spend their money in Bamberg, and therefore every interest receives a benefit from their earnings. The Herald* therefore, wants all the home business. P Those veterans, descendants of veterans, and widows wishing to obtain a cross of honor, must apply to - Capt. J. H. Risher or Mrs. J. H. Murphy for application blanks. The blanks must be properly filled out and returned by March 20th, instead of April 1st, as was published in last V week's issue. A rainbow at midday when there is not a cloud in sight is somewhat unusual in Bamberg; but was seen when ' connection was made with the water main on Main street the other day. An opening was made in the water main and for a while a spray of water shot up, against which the sunshine produced the colors of the rainfcp. bow. kV a The acquittal of Woodward for killing Haley, the trial taking place at Walterboro last week, reminds > - us that Woodward showed us a letter \ little more than a year ago, written by Haley to Woodward's wife, saying that he was going to kill Woodward and wanted her to run away to Georgia or some place with. him. As soon as possible our Mr. R. M. Hitt will visit every town in the county and get in touch with the merchants and other business men at each place. He has been busy making out bills and attempting to collect most of the time since his arrival. We would certainly appreciate it if a'll who have received statements x would forward checks promptly, as we need the money. Service on the two new rural routes is rapidly being gotten in fine shape. Already there are more than sixty boxes erected on route number 4, and more than forty on route number 3. The people certainly appreciate the service, and the only wonder is that these routes were not established several years ago. The postmaster here is glad that he was ' able to secure this service for the people. Our merchants should remember that The Herald brings a lot of out?J.V' ' ef-town money to Bamberg. We do printing for a number of other towns in this section, and the money we receive is spent in Bamberg. Fact is, if we depended on Bamberg alone, our business would not be sufficient to employ near all the men we have. Every additional man employed in the business means that much more money spent in Bamberg. The Herald has the finest equipped printing office in this section of the State, and we are prepared to do work which usually has to be sent to the larger offices in the cities. We have spirit a lot of money for equipment and we need all the business we can get. True, we don't do cheap printing, but we give you first-class work at as reasonable prices as we can. Although we have done a good business for years, everybody knows we are not getting rich, therefore we certainly can't be charging too much. * . ' O: I . New Adverisements. D. J.

I Carlisle School Notes. c r At a meeting of the local board of j control of Carlisle School, held Mon- F day of this week, Messrs. W. C. Dun- ^ can and S. A. Merchant were elected s as members of the faculty for next x year. Miss Beulah .Hiers was re- s elected as primary teacher. Mrs. J. a J.

J. Brabham hall, and the girls' hall the Mary Ann t Bamberg hall. f Dr. J. J. Cleckley was elected as a ^ member of the board, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J. A. Byrd. Headmaster Guilds is already busi- p ly engaged in getting matters settled d for the beginning of the session next s fall. The faculty is being selected, g and the catalogue will be issued by 7 the time school closes. Much can- P vassing will.be done during the sum- 13 mer, and it is expected that the en- a rollment for next year will be prac- c tically double what it has been here- t tofore. 11 . t Efforts to erect a gymnasium at p Carlisle School will no doubt be made s during the spring, so as to have the o gym ready for use at the opening c of school this fall. That is the next i< thing on the program for Carlisle. E t!

I While on a hunt for local news jthis week we asked a lady if she knew 1 of any new arrivals in Bamberg. She said: "Don't ask me, I'm no doctor." Now what you reckon she meant by : that? 1 Box Rent Notice. The first day of April, or rather he last night in March, marks the :nd of the first quarter in the new lostoffice, and as patrons know or night to know, boxes are rented for hree months and no longer, the rent or boxes being payable invariably n advance. Uncle Sam makes no ixception to this rule, and the law equires that the postmaster collect he rent by the last day of the month iefore the quarter begins or close he box and rent it to some one else. I'his is not left to the postmaster, he nust carry out the law, and we wish o impress upon the patrons of the Bamberg office that we are going to :arry out the law as is required, herefore we hope that every renter if a box will pay the rent by the last lay of this month. Notices will be ilaced in each box ten days before he end of the month, and at the :lose of business the last night in rlarch we shall go over the list and very box on which the rent is not laid will be closed. We are providd with stops for combination and :ey boxes and if the rent is not paid he combination will not work on the norning of the first, nor will one be ble to insert a key in a key box. We , nake this statement in plenty of ime, as we don't want to offend any >ne, and we do not wish to be or ven appear arbitrary. We want the iatrons satisfied, but we must carry lut the rules of the department. County Supply Bill Below we publish the supply till passed by the recent session of he legislature, as it applies to Bamberg county: "For the county of Bamberg, for irdinary purposes, four mills; for mhlip rnads one-half mill: for the mrpose of building and 1 erecting >ermanent bridges, one mill: Proided, That the money so expended hall not be used in building bridges mder twenty feet in length; all alaries as fixed by law shall be paid s now provided by law.

It is ?-J 1^ I a Mohammedan State. The ruler is a ? \\ woman known as the Begum (feminine of Nawab), who is actively interested in modern methods and appliances and their possible application to her country. ? Agriculture is the chief industry, but it is carried on by primitive y methods; and, owing to this fact, as well as to famine and disease, the average area under cultivation is only 1*1 Clvol 1,800 square <miles or 26 per cent, of 1Q6 1 ITSl the area of the State. The average holding is 13 acres. Irrigation is general, though not fully developed, the lllUCpf sources used being wells and tanks. In the case of wells, which predomi- . nate, the water is usually arawn up ig ^TefvLlness in by leather-bag lifts, the motive power . being furnished by cattle, which in ult asaary^1^ Bhopal are very strong and active.

The g00dly balanc?i b establishment of such State farms, or . , . . it puts on though at least one as an experiment, is under consideration by the Begum and her ministers. The Begum attends personally to ENTERPI the general policies of administra- B4.MBF tion with the assistance of her three v sons. The second son commands the NOTICE TO D army of about 3,000 men.
