The delegates to the recent district ( conference, held here, were delight- , ed with the hospitality and cour- ^ -tesies shown them by a number of Bamberg people. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Black announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Pearl Black, to Mr. . James Thomas Burch, of Florence, the wedding to take place in June. Mrs. Julia Brabham, who has been residing with her daughter at Denmark for some time, was carried to the Baker hospital, Charleston, Monday by Dr. J. J.

On account of our contest last it ' summer we will soon have several subscriptions expiring. A number have already renewed, and we trust that as others expire they will renew promptly or notify us right away that they do not want the paper in order that it may be discontinued. \ A telephone message received t here* Tuesday gave the information 1 that Mrs. Julia A. Brabham, who was * earried to the hospital in Charleston 1 the night before, had been operated | < on and had stood the operation very < well indeed. She is getting along < nicely, which will be pleasant news to her many friends. < | ? The Carlisle base ball team will a play the Charleston high school team 1 on the local diamond Friday and Sat- 1 . /* 1 urday afternoons. These two games ! will decide the State prep champion- * |r.~ ship, and will 'doubtless be hard ' fought by both sides. The game ? Friday will be called at 4.30, and on Saturday at 4 o'clock. { $ _ i The Bamberg Herald is one of ( some thousand weekly and daily newspapers in the United States selected for publishing a double page advertisement of the Maxwell automobiles. This firm recently made an ' appropriation, it is stated, of $500,- '< 000 for advertising, and the present advertising campaign in the weekly i and daily publications is probably J the largest ever conducted at one i ttime. The Maxwell people know the ' value of advertising and are spend- I ing a lot of money for this purpose, i The Herald being the only paper in 1 + V,io f oT-'ri tnrv Mrrvinp the fioiibLft 1 ICJ-L10 WA A AVVA J vv?? * j v?? ? ? page, it feels grateful for being con- : sidered the leading weekly. J Base Ball Games. 4 The last school games of the season will be played at Rhoad Park on Friday and Saturday, May 22 and 23. These games will be with the Charleston high school. If the Carlisle lads can win these two games, they will continue to hold the State prep championship. The home team is doing some hard practice every afternoon, and we promise some good games. Let everybody get together and hold the championship for Carlisle. Come out and give us your _ help financially and "root" for the home team. The game Tuesday went to Norway by a close margin, 7 to 5, but we were playing the best players of three country towns and luck broke against us. These will likely be the last < games on the local grounds this season. Meeting of Taxpayers.

S. Sena3re_ torial candidates come to Bamberg g they will be politely notified that no raid personalities of any kind or indecent igh_ language will be allowed, and if any ajr> candidate is imprudent enough to am, start anything of the sort, he will be Qyd stopped and that quickly. These men 3re- say they do not want any trouble, L but they do not propose to put up AH, with a repetition of the mud-slinging _ +v>/i /-omnaiu-n m^ptinc here two g U1 l/Ut- _ _. \y years ago. The Bamberg speech was \y published all over the country as the dirtiest speech of the campaign, and "this town and county got some undesirable advertising as the result of it. These citir?g zens feel that it should have been a*- resented then?in other tvords they ? at feel that the ladies and children of am, Bamberg should be protected from * at such utterances, and the fact that reall sentment was not shown at, the time *ne, has put abroad the impression that 'int- Bamberg people like that kind of talk, and they do not propose to rest est- under such an imputation any longer, for These gentlemen are determined in ure, their course, and they say if any canthe didate don't think they mean busiThe ness just let him start something ;ime and they'll soon convince him. > P. This is action along the right line. ier^ Every community in the State should follow the example of these Bamthis berg citizens. Let one hundred of 1 be the best men of any county get tothin gether and demand beforehand that nothing shall be said that could offend any lady and that the meeting must be orderly, and it will be, you may be 6ure of that. Organizations Kt-ft tho annfcpn of above should JLiryvs vuv vuv w ? be formed in every county in the to oint ^tate' and when this is done the Presiding officer will not have to vainly conhird appeal for decency of speech and genntg tlemanly conduct on the part of the iber candidates or ^6 audience. Bam4 berg has set a fine example. Let every county in the State follow ome . suit. four ^ ears For a Union Depot. 1 be (j 0f Railroad Commissioners John G. stu_ Richards, Jr., and G. McDuffie Hampton were in the city last Friday looking over the matter of a I. proposed union depot for Bamberg. They were here in response to letters tant from Dr. Geo. F. Hair, who has taken much interest in the new depot proposition. They were met by a J- number of citizens and the ground way was looked over carefully. Messrs. 5 at Richards and Hampton gave some necessary information in regard to dent matter and stated that as soon ^ a as the plans of the railroad were submitted to them that they would subnow mit them to the people of this city ical- before approving anything. They e ?* went from here to Denmark in the afternoon to look over the matter of better passenger accommodations at that point, the present union station hun- being entirely inadequate. >und B QT._ Death of Mrs. Snyder. iCrd"" )rize the ^rs* P* Snyder, an aged and highly beloved resident of Bamberg, ^ died at her home here Sunday, folnost IowinS a illness.

Miss Ward Chandler, 18 years old = and pretty, is being searched for by d the police of three cities, having run c away, it is said, with a Shriner at c Atlanta with whom she became in- = fatuated while he was attending the J recent great convention in that ~ city. The local police are of the be- d lief 'that the young lady passed t through this city yesterday afternoon s enroute to Asheville. A telegram to _ Chief Holcombe yesterday resulted in ! Call Officer Bridges making a hasty ji run to the Southern station to catch t( a train then due in the yard. For. tune favored the officer, the train *" being late, and he reached the sta- d tion as the train rolled in. f A thorough search of every car *s was made. When the officer had be, gun to believe his search was fruitless, his eye lighted upon a young f lady in blue who tallied well with * the description given Chief Holcombe j in the telegram from Chief Beavers = of Atlanta. The young lady was questioned as to her identity, and = while the officers were inclined to d believe she was the party wanted, j two of them decided against a third E that she was not the young lady ' being sought and she was permitted e to remain on the train. ' * Later communication from Chief ^ of Police Beavers, though, has practically established the belief of one of f the officers that the lady who pass^ ed through here is Miss Candler. E Chief Beavers was called over the r telephone by Officer Bridges last j ^ > night and told or rne mwueui. xaC _ i said he would immediately com- ^ i municate with the Asheville police, = warning them to hold the young lady ' who passed through Greenville. The mother of i^he girl is said to c be prostrated and has notified the o r police to spare no expense in the = search for her daughter. The name _ of the man she is said to have elop ed with is not known here. He is d frnm tbA statft of Iowa, and was a If ~v ' I > visitor in Atlanta during the Shrin- ? > ers convention.?Greenville News. . + = > G !
