SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
i the Town and County.
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.

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.

Efforts to erect a gymnasium at p

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.

The native State of Bhopal, India, | 11
covers an area of 6,902 square miles I ? 1 ^
snd has a population of 700,000. 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. S?es further whe
