SHORT LOCAIiS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Balmy spring weather we are having
this week.
Read Herald advertisements and I
patronize our advertisers. They will j
appreciate your business.
Although one of the smallest
counties in the State, Bamberg now
has eight banks, all flourishing institutions.
* * <
a cm oil firo nrpnrrpH "Fridav in a
? V ? - ,
. cottage owned by Mr. J E. Felder
in the city. The blaze * was extinguished
with little damage.
We appreciate the advertising
patronage we are receiving, and we
might say in this connection that
our subscription list continues to
grow.
Farming lands in Bamberg county
that cannot be bought for less than
V $60 to $75 an acre are returned for
taxation at the pitiful sum of $5 an
acre.
'-i
When you want job printing or
advertising, telephone No. 59 and our
representative will call. We have a
large force, and can give prompt
service.
Considerable improvement is being
made to Nimmons' barber shop. The
place is being repainted and a lavatory
and hot and cold baths are being
installed.
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. J. Brooker will
entertain Friday evening, March 20,
at their home in the city, in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Calhoun and
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar A. Brown, of
Barnwell.
Court adjourned on Thursday last,
having completed the business of the
spring term. The last jury case
^ - / tried was that of Mrs. L. K. Mayfield
versus J. K. Mayfield. The verdict
was in favor of the plaintiff,
v The Herald is receiving quite a
number of new subscribers these
days, and they are all cash-in-advance,
too. The people who take
The Herald appreciate it enough to
pay for it promptly. Therefore they
:
Iread it closely and look for its arrival
each week, which makes it a
fine advertising medium.
The large number of boxes already
erected on the two rural routes
out of Bamberg postoffice shows that
the people appreciate the service and
the routes will be well patronized.
Every person who lives on a rural
route should erect a box in order that
their mail may be delivered at their
* door instead of having to come to
the postoffice for it.
The whistle of the locomotive on
DoWKnrtr 'PhrliQHf railroad will
luc uamucitj-ijui - v
' be heard in Bamberg in the next
few weeks. The trestle across Saltkeatchie
swamp has been completed,
and track laying is going on as rapidly
as possible. The rails are laid to a
point about six or seven miles from
Bamberg, and a large locomotive and
several cars have recently been put
on the road. It will be a pleasant
sotmd to Bamberg people when they
hear the engine whistle.
Colored Fair for Bamberg.
The secretary of State has issued
a commission to the Bamberg Fair
association, a colored organization,
with a capital stock of $2,500. The
petitioners are Hey ward Johnson and
Johnnie Johnson. It is stated that
a good part of the capital stock has
already been subscribed. It is the
purpose of the organization to hold
v. v annual county fairs at the county
seat.
| Examination at Orangeburg.
A civil service examination will

applicants must be at least 21 years
old and women applicants must be 18 i
years of age or over on the date of;
the examination. All applicants must i

be residents of Olar or vicinity, and J
application blanks must be filed with j
the civil service commission at Washington
at least seven days prior to the
date of the examination. Last year
the compensation of the position was
$778. Any information may be sejj"
cured from the postmaster at Olar
or from the commission.
^
Laundry for Bamberg.*
H. M. Graham, Esq., will erect
within the next thirty days a brick
building next to J. B. Brickie's
garage. The building has already
been rented to Charlie Ching for a
Chinese laundry. Ching is a competent
launderer, and will come to
Bamberg to open up a laundry within
the next four or five weeks in the
new building.
Militants Burn Coaches.
Birmingham, England, March 16.
?Nine coaches belonging to the Midland
railway were burned by suffragettes
to-day at Kings Norton, near
here.
&
Box Rents to be Higher.
There will be one thing connected
with the raising of the grade of
the Bamberg postoffice that the patrons
will not appreciate, we fear, and
that is an increase in box rent. The
receipts of the office have increased
to such an extent that the office will
advance one grade July 1st of.this
year, but with this increase also
comes an increase in the rates for
boxes, the box rents being based on
the receipts of the office, and as the
receipts of the office increase the
rent of boxes incrtase. After July
1st small boxes will be 45 cents a
quarter, medium boxes 60 cents a
quarter, and the drawers 75 cents a
quarter. The box rents then will no
doubt more than pay the rent of the
hiiilrtinir and pmiinment.. including
M r?? -7 ? w
heat and light. None of this box
rent goes to the lessor of the building
or the postmaster; it goes to the
government, and while it is mighty
nice to know that your town is growing,
as shown by the postoffice receipts,
still patrons will have to pay
more for boxes as the office grows.
Dr, Hoover's Residence Burns.
Monday morning about 4 o'clock
fire was discovered in the residence
of Dr. H. F. Hoover. Though a
hard fight was made by the volunteer
firemen, the residence was razed
to the ground, with nearly all
the contents. A member of Dr.
Hoover's family first discovered the
fire, which originated near one of
the chimneys, and gave the alarm to
the other members, who safely escaped
before the blaze had made
much progress. A fusilade of pistol
shots and a long blast from the cotton
mill whistle gave the alarm of
fire, but by the time many people
arrived the fire had made considerable
progress, and nothing could
be done to check the flames. An effort
was made to remove some of the
furniture, but very little was saved.
Dr. Hoover stated that the house
and furniture were partially insured,
and that his loss amounted to about
$1,000.

Supervisor Bruce is making preparations
to build a new road from
Bamberg to Denmark. It is expected
that work will begin on the new
road within the next week or ten
days. Yesterday Mr. Bruce began
surveying and laying out the new
road, which will be in practically the
same place as the existing road, but
will be made thirty feet wide the entire
distance. The new road will be
built of sand-clav, and will be constructed
by the chain gang. 1 This
will add a much needed improvement
to the county's road system, as the
road from Bamberg to Denmark is
one of the most traveled roads in
the county.

Box Rent Notice. |
The first day of April, or rather
the last night in March, marks the
end of the first quarter in the new
postoffice, and as patrons know or
ought to know, boxes are rented for
three months and no longer, the rent
for boxes being payable invariably I
in advance. Uncle Sam makes no
j
exception to this rule, and the law
requires that the postmaster collect
the rent by the last day of the month
before the quarter begins or close
the box and rent it to some one else.
This is not left to the postmaster, he
must carry out the law, and we wish
x nofrnno nf tho
lO lilipiess upuu LUU JIOHUUO ut Wiiv/
Bamberg office that we are going to
carry out the law as is required,
therefore we hope that every renter
of a box will pay the rent by the last
day of this month. Notices will be
placed in each box ten days before
the end of the month, and at the
close of business the last night in
March we shall go over the list and
every box on which the rent is not
paid will be closed. We are provided
with stops for combination and
key boxes and if the rent is not paid
the combination will not work on the
morning of the first, nor will one be
able to insert a key in a key box. We
make this statement in plenty of
time, as we don't want to offend any
one, and we do not wish to be or
even appear arbitrary. We want the
patrons satisfied, but we must carry
out the rules of the department.
