Quite a number of baseball fans from Ehrhardt came up Tuesday tc witness the game between Ehrhardt and the Carlisle team. With the new railroad coming lr and a new union station built, Bamberg will present the appearance ol some railroad town. %. Mr. H. W. Adams on Monday received a telegram informing him oi the death of the wife of his brother /' Mr. J. B. Adams*, at Augusta. The cotton weigher's job* at Ehrhardt is much in demand, as will be seen by the number of candidates announced in The Herald this week. Mr. H. D. Hiers, of Route 2, 6ays that a very fine Jersey cow on his place has given birth to a calf, the mother being only 14 months old. At the meeting of the State Medi., cal Association in Florence last week Dr. J. S. Matthews, of Denmark, was elected councillor from the second .district. \ v The Herald Book Store has a supply of large, dainty paper napkins, 5c per dozen. Just the thing for entertainments, oyster suppers or fish fries. Ask to see them. The Bamberg High school will play their first' game of the season this (Wednesday) afternoon at Denmark with the Denmark High School. Manager Belton Hair expects a victory. H. M. Graham, Esq., is having erected a 6mall brick building on BBSS)?, n*. v \ * Main street, adjoining J. B. Brickie's garage. When completed the building will be occupied by a Chinese laundry. A twin egg shown us by^ Mr. J. M. Grimes some days ago was one of the greatest freaks of nature we have even seen. They were smaller than eggs usually are, but joined together firmly. The Herald's 9out-of-town job printing business continues to increase all the tifne, which shows that our reputation for good work means something to people who want firstclass printing. Monday was perhaps the windiest , day of the year so far. Monday night and Tuesday the atmosphere was quite chilly, and much fear was felt for the young crops and gardens, but no frost has been reported. Mr. D. W. Philips brought to The Herald office Friday two stalks of very fine oats, from a five-acre field ? **- * tit D?.u6m rtf Hlor \Tr UI iU 1 . A. VV . U1AUU0U1| VI Philips said the entire field was in full head, being an extra early variety, and would be ready for cutting in a short while. Supervisor Brucfc has the chain gang hard at work rebuilding the road between this place and Denmark. It will certainly be a fine highway when completed. It is being widened to thirty feet and will be clayed all the way. All bridges ' are being taken up and brick culverts put in. The road is being straightened as well. We noticed this week that there were several subscribers at various f? post-offices who should at once send in their renewals if they wish the : - / paper continued. We cannot afford to send The Herald on time, as it takes cash money to pay our running expenses, therefore we sincerely trust that all expired subscriptions will be renewed without delay. 3?..- y The revival meeting at the Meth odist church, * is being continued throughout this week by the Rev. Mr. Hardin. Much interest has been taken in the revival. The banks and many of the stores of the city are feVv-"' - v being closed one hour each day. from 10 to 11 o'clock, to allow the store keepers to attend the services. Serv vices are held twice a day, at 10 a. * m., and 8 p. m. & x City council hacr decided to enforce rigidly the ordinance againsi sweeping trash on Main street. Busv iness houses must now put all trasli and sweepings from their stores intc boxes or barrels and the town carts will remove it. This is a good move and if council will also enforce the ordinance against blocking the side walks with goods displayed by th( merchants they will have the thanks of many people. This is an age of advertising, anc the wisdom of using The Herald tc reach the people of this section is clearly shown by the fact that out o eight banks in Bamberg county w< are now carrying a regular line of ad vertising for five of them. The mei at the head of these financial insti tutions are fine business men anc they know they are making a gooc investment when they invest in ad vertising space. - > i i k , = . > ' ' A number from here expect to at^ tend the dance at Ehrhardt Thurs: day evening of next week.

The Herald is charging the usual prices for candidates' cards this year, $3.00 for announcements foi - magistrate, cotton weigher and coun> tv commissioner. All other offices are $5.00. If you are going to run . for an office, put your card in The ! Herald, where it will be read by the i voters of the county.

New Passenger Depot. For several months Dr. Geo. F. Hair has been earnestly at work endeavoring to have the Southern Rail' way erect a new passenger station at this point, and at last his efforts are to meet with success, as he has received a letter from John G. 1 Richards, Jr., Ghairman of the railroad commission of South Carolina, in which Mr. Richards says that Supt. Arthur has informed him that work will begin in the near future on depot at Bamberg and be pushed rapidly to completion. Dr. Hair has written Mr. Richards that it is the desire of the peo, pie of Bamberg that this new depot be made a union station for the Southern Railway and the Bamberg, Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railway, and asked him to visit Bamberg as soon as possible and look over the situation and advise with citizens here as to sites, etc. There is no question but that there should be a station used by both roads, and this is what should be done. As both roads are going to build, it would seem to be | an easy matter to get t,iiem together on the proposition. Boy Scouts Organization. In this busy, hustling world of nnrs while seeking to advance the business interests of our town, are we not neglecting, a far more important asset, the interests of our boys? Shall we continue to leave them with no place for wholesome recreation, for they will find recrea; tion somewhere, and it is perfectly natural that they should; or shall [ we commence a crusade in our midst for amusement under proper supervision which will probably prevent their getting their first taste for evil associates and prepare them for good citizenship? There is an organization for boys, known as the Boy Scouts of America, which stands for clean sports and I for mind, muscle, morals, and manhood. The boys of Bamberg are anx ious to band themselves into this organization but so far no one has 1 been found who cares enough for the future of our boys to undertake this ' supervision over their legitimate recreations and their education in body. * mind, morals, and character. Is there not a man, or several men, who will . hear this call, and heed it? Right here is an opportunity to form a t Junior Y. M. C. A. with Boy Scout features, and they will be taught truth, patience persistence, a rever' ence for nobility of character, phy" sical manhood, and all the nobler virtues, also to understand and love c the mysteries of nature and to fosj ter a spirit of love for their country, their fellow-man, and their God, I REBELS WON'T JOIN HVERTA. This is Statement of Prominent Constitutionalist. . Agua Prieta, Sonora, April 19.? No matter .what comes of the Tampico incident the constitutionalists cannot afford to join Huerta." was the statement to-night of Francisco Selias, president of the Sonora war and land tax committee, and recognized spokesman for constitutionalists along the Arizona border. BENEATH DIGNITY. Refuses to Agree to Demand to Salute Flag. Mexico City, April 19.?The Mexican foreign minister, Senor Portilloy Rojas, announced to-night that it would be impossible to agree to the demand of the United States that the flag of that country be unconditionally saluted, because that flag was not insulted, because it was not flying from the launch and because the marines were set freje even before an investigation and the officer responsible for the arrests was himself arrested and held for trial. The foreign minister further announced that the Mexican government would agree that both flags be saluted, the American flag first, and then the Mexican flag, this arrangement to be made by a protocol signed by the. American charge d' Affaires Nelson O'Shaughnessy and the Mexican foreign minister. The United States government, Senor Portilla declared, had refused permission to Charge O'Shaughnessy to sign such a protocol and demanded an unconditional salute by Mexico, which Mexico felt was incompatible with her dignity. _ In conclusion, the foreign minister said: "Mexico has yielded as much as her dignity "will permit. Mexico trusts to the fair-mindedness and spirit of justice of the American people." ' DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH.

Newberry, April 18.?Joe Rudder and Luther Prater, employees of the ja: Oakland Cotton Mill, are in jail, Jo charged with the shooting or uee on Havird last night. It is stated that ro Rudder and Prater during the even- he ing shot into the house of some ne- he gro women who lived in the suburbs, if near the residence of C. L. Havird. ha The women appealed to Mr. Havird to secure police, and when the officer co arrived Rudder and Prater had pass- la: ed beyond the city limits, and the an police claimed they had no authori- th ty outside the city and stopped pur- th 6uit as soon as the men were beyond Ms the city line. It is claimed that Ha- in vird pursued the men to try to identi- sti fy them, when they fired upon him, th inflicting a severe wound in the leg. sh Sheriff Blease and Deputies Dorroh ca and Melton were then telephoned gu for. When they arrived the men T1 were gone. The women said they ap knew one as Joe and understood that C< he lived at Oakland. With this as of a clue Sheriff Blease and his deputies ga proceeded to Oakland, and about 4 ce o'clock this morning arrested Rudder fo and Prater. Rudder on the wecf to th jail is said to have confessed to the Th sheriff having fired a gun. In the ur meantime bloodhounds from the w< penitentiary had beeA sent for, and br arrived about an hour after the ar- in rests were made. f ta Havird is doing as well as could be expected and no serious results are anticipated. ? , As to Dynamiting Fish. qi Editor Bamberg Herald:?On ac- he count of an article that appeared in th a recent issue of your paper and which I am informed was written w] bv Mr. Jacob Ehrhardt.' Dostmaster at the town of Ehrhardt, I am writ- yc ing to ask that you publish this let- th ter of mine in the columns of your th paper. b This article of Mr. Ehrhardt'e was ch to the effect, so I am informed, that gj a great many violations of the fish m, laws were being enactecKin the coun- pj tv of Bamberg. Besides this infor- = mation this department received letters from prominent citizens in Bamberg county to the effect that such A< violations were going on, and further stating that if I sent a man = there it would be no trouble to get the evidence. I did not send a ^ man, but went myself, taking two good men with me and spent the $1 entire day traveling in my automobile all through the Ehrhardt section endeavoring to get enough evi- eh dence to arrest the parties that had been using this dyngfcnite. I left ^ nn <itnne unturned and went and saw personally every man whose name er had been suggested to me as a possi- sh ble witness, but could not in a single ^ instance get any of the parties to give me enough information to war- he rant an arrest, in fact, I could not p oe even get them to give me the names ^ of any violafors. ? This department has no appropriation from the State with which to enforce the laws other than my salary ou and expenses and the salary nc of one assistant. It will therefore W be seen that it is an impossibility for two men to properly enforce the laws throughout the entire State of ^ South Carolina. ' ^ I am asking you to publish this = letter, first of all to keep this department from being placed in a false position, and secondly to show se] the people of .your county that I am be willing and anxious to break up the m* violations of.fhe game and fish laws, = 1 - + J r*-i /"> imnpocc linnn I <111 CI <1L L11C5 * dailiC IUUIC voo theih that it is useless to call on me for help unless they are willing to <ji furnish me with evidence of suffi- C. cient nature to take out a warrant. cr I have the power to appoint war- ~ dens, who work on a commission basis, and will be glad to appoint any' good earnest man in any sec- di tion of the State where one is need- gu ed and if any one reading this article desires a position, I will be ? glad to consider his application, pro- ^ vided the same bears the endorse- Cc ment of one or more members of to their county delegation.

The pa- # . le was granted upon condition that j pay $100 fine to the city and that a shall serve out a term of one year he is again convicted of selling or f> ndlinsr liauor. The case of young Hogan attracted nsiderable attention because of the ^ rge accumulative sentence imposed d because of the efforts made in ' e courts to reverse the decision of e recorder. Hogan was indicted in .W arch, 1913, on 33 charges of violat- A g the liquor laws with the underanding between the attorneys for e city and for the defense that he ould be tried on three cases as test j ses and should be released or plepd lilty on the others as these went.
