Stamhrrg i|?ralii Thursday, March 26, 1914. SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. The county board of equalization was in session here Tuesday. Read Herald advertisements and find out where to do your spring shopping. GOOlSDy & son, Ol uemuaih, nave petitioned the secretary of State for a charter. The capital stock is $5,000. New automobiles continue to make their appearance on the streets of Bamberg. Our people must be prosperous. The Sunbeam Band of the Baptist church will give a public program Sunday evening at 7.45. The public is invited. Senator E. D. Smith will deliver the memorial address at Rivers' Bridge this year. The date is announced in another column. Several from Bamberg motored over to Orangeburg Monday evening ot see "The Rose Maid," which was presented at the theatre in that city. Route No. 4 bids fair to be one of the best rural routes from the Bamberg office. Although this route has been in operation only a few weeks, there are now 84 boxes already erected and more to come. The contract for the completion of the Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad calls for it to be finished by May 1st, 1914, but the rhils will be laid here before that date. April loth will no doubt witness the completion of the road. This season the Cotton Oil Company will run its mill until after the first of June. This will be the longest run in the history of the company. The mill usually closes down in March or Apri.l The mill runs day and night. We are afraid some patrons of the Bamberg postoffice will not be able to open their boxes on the morning of the first of April, but they will have no one to blame but themselves if this is the case. Box rent must be paid by the last night in this month. Ben Daniels, colored, who died at Orangeburg Monday, was buried in Bamberg Tuesday. Daniels was for a number of vears Dostmaster at Den mark. A large number of colored people came over with the remains from Orangeburg to attend the funeral. 3b*V - *1 Ben Holmes, a colored farmer, brought nto The Herald office Saturday quite a curiosity. ' It was a chicken, recently hatched, with three legs and feet. The two usual pedesv tals were in their proper places, and ; another well formed foot and leg was attached to the chicken's back. Mr. B. F*. Free, rural carrier on Route No. 4, has purchased a Ford touring car and now travels over his route in the machine, which admits of his making a much quicker schedule than by horse and buggy. It is likely that others of the carriers will purchase machines to use in making their tnjifs. 1 Track laying continues to progress on the Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad. The rails are now laid to a point about five miles below town, and the contractors are endeavoring to procure another flat car so that something like a half mile a day can be laid. If they get the car the rails will be laid to Bamberg in the next three weeks. Col. J. R. Owens has been accorded quite an honor by being elected an honorary member of the Luther Burbank Society, of Santa Rosa. Cal. ! * His election is a recognition of his work in matters pertaining to agriculture and allied subjects. The Burbank organization is one of the leading societies in the country, and membership is eagerly sought. Many special privileges go with honorary membership in the society. It looks like the postmaster will have to invoke the aid of the civic league ladies to help him prevail on the public to co-operate in keeping the postoffice lobby clean. People spit tobacco juice on the floor and walls and throw waste paper on the floor, yet tftere is cuspidors ana large waste baskets in the lobby. We certainly would appreciate it if the men would use the waste baskets and cuspidors. They were placed in the lobby to be used, not for ornaments. It is the ambition of the post( master to develop the rural route sendee from the Bamberg office, and he hopes to improve and extend the service during the year. We have a lot of good carriers, but there are a number of people on the various routes who should erect boxes and thus obtain the benefits of the rural delivery. Mail is not delivered unless boxes are erected, and we hope to see many new boxes put up on the various routes during this year. Better Pay This Week. D On the 20th of the month bills for box rent were put in all boxes at the postoffice. This rent must be a* paid by the last night in this month, and all boxes on which rent has not a* been paid by that night will be closed on the morning of the first of i ? ? :n J ^ April. AO exceptions Win ut; ma.ue. The government regulations require ^ this, and while we don't want anybody to fall out with us, we are go- & ing to carry out the regulations. Remember, if your rent is not paid by a* the last night in this month on the morning of the first of April you will not be able to get in your box. Stop keys for combination and key boxes have been provided in the new equipment, and the rule will be enforced for all alike, rich and poor, white and black. of Early Closing. g.

Eaves has severed his connection with the Southern rail- so way as general agent at Bamberg, A] and Mr. H. W. McMillan has been to made successor. m Mr. Eaves has been agent at Bamberg for about fourteen years, and af during this time, by his courtesy and th business treatment, has made' scores Sr of warm friends among the patrons Ki of the Southern. His friends regret Je that he has severed his connection with the agency here, and their good co wishes will accompany him in what- es ever line he engages. Mr. McMillan is a thoroughly com- J. petent employe of the Southern, having received his training under Mr. Eaves at Bamberg some years ago. He has since held positions as freight agent at Aiken, Rock Hill and Orangeburg. He is well known in C. Bamberg, and will no doubt prove to wi be a worthy successor to Mr. Eaves, ly No changes in the force of South- pi ern agency employes at Bamberg m has been announced. Mi mm br Pnftnn Cinnwl in Raml>pr<r CountV. in th According to the report of the te census bureau, just issued, 27,692 h, bales of cotton were ginned of the th 1913 crop, in Bamberg county. In nj 1912 the total ginned was 19,932. th In Barnwell the amount ginned was pj, 58,87S,-against 43,407 in 1912. The fri total for the United States was 1.414,409 against 1,224,245 in 1912. Orangeburg county led the State with 80,294 bales. The Express and Telegraph office. 1? It is understood that a movement aE is on foot to petition the Southern Express company and the Western Union Telegraph company to combine their offices and secure a suit- A* able place on Main street. The inconvenience of the present situation ca of the express and telegraph office gl will be put up to the companies, with _ the request that better facilities be ^ provided. At present all telegraph .? th and express business is nanuieu m the ticket office by the ticket agent. Bamberg has grown rapidly, and the patrons of these companies feel-that r>, the growth of the city would warrant better telegraph and express pi facilities. w< ? br The Weather. tr Sunday morning the glorious ed spring was ushered in with a heavy freeze and sleet.
