The civic league is having a handsome fountain erected on the campus of Carlisle School. The oil mill closed down last Saturday for the season. The run this year has been a very long one. The second cotton bloom of the season was sent us yesterday (Wednesday) by Mr. S. M. Goodwin. There are now 175 automobiles registered in Bamberg county. Pret- j ty good sum of money invested in them, too. The first cotton bloom of the season was sent us Tuesday of this week by Mr. J. J. O'Neal, from his farm just out of town. It is expected that the dormitories of Carlisle School will be filled to their capacity at the opening of the school this fall. A dancing school is now being conducted in the city hall by Miss Kohn, of Orangeburg. All the new dances are being taught, and the class is a laree one. The Bambarg-Ehrhardt Raijroad has bought lots in town for a depot site and terminals, and will soon commence the erection of their depot here. The finishing touches are now being put on the Bamberg-Denmark road, and it will certainly be a fine speedway when completed. The road has been widened all the way to Denmark. A meeting of citizens and Supt. Arthur was held here one day last week in reference to the new depot proposition. He is to return to-day (Thursday) to submit the final plans to our citizens. Clarence McMillan, a colored man who lives on Mrs. M. E .Bamberg's plantation, sent us several stalk6 of fine cotton this week. Clarence also has a field of corn of which he is very proud, as he states it is certainly fine. The house of Belle Frederick, a colored woman, situated on Church street, was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning. It caught from a spark on ?' - V tD6 rooi. 31UCU Ul tue uuuscuuiu goods was saved. There was some insurance, but we are not advised of the amount. * . Hon. S. G. Mayfield has received aj letter* from his son, Stanwix, asking that he have the address of his Herald changed, as he will be away for the next three months on a cruise with the practice squadron on the U. S. S. Illinois. Young Mayfield has been at Annapolis for the past two years, and is making a good record. Mr. M. A. Moye, Jr., writes us to change his paper to Charleston, care the Pullman Company, he having accepted a position with that company as conductor. While we regret that he did not return to Bamberg, we are glad that he has secured a nice position. His run at present is from (jnarieston to Augusta. Amy, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Graham, died at their residence in this city at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning, after an extended illness, aged 19 months. The fun* eral services will be conducted by Rev. W. H. Hodges at the residence this (Thursday ) morning at 8:45 o'clock, and the interment will be at South-end cemetery. The pall bearers are: C. E. Black, J. D. Copeland, Jr., W. A. Dickinson, F. W. Free, D. M. Eaves, and Albin Kirsch. Miss Black Given Shower. Miss Pearl Black, who is soon to become the attractive bride of Mr. James Thomas Burch, of Florence, was given a shower Tuesday afternoon by the Apollo Music Club, at the residence of Mrs. Robt. Ayer. A very elaborate program had been arranged, but the rain caused the plans to be somewhat changed. A porch party had been planned. The piazzas of this lovely home were tastefully decorated with ferns and pot flowers, crepe, etc. The color scheme of pink and green was carried out throughout the afternoon. Refreshments, consisting of cake and ice cream, were served, after which the guests were invited into the parlor, where pink ana green aecorations also prevailed, the procession being led by the bride-elect. The gifts were tied on a long line suspended across the parlor. Miss Black received the gifts, consisting of many and varied articles, most graciously. On account of the storm, the piazza program was abandoned, but the guests spent a very pleasant hour in conversation and listening to music rendered by various members of the club. On leaving, the company voted Mrs. Aver to be a most charming hostess. New Advertisements. Atlantic Coast Line?Week-End and Summer Excursion Rates. J. B.

Salary Increased The postmaster at Bamberg was notified by the post office department last week, that, commencing with July 1st, the salary here would be $1,700, an increase of $100, the salary formerly being $1,600. This increase was secured because of the growth in receipts during the past year, the salaries of all third class postmasters being based on the receipts of their offices. This shows that Bamberg is growing, for there ' is no question but that increased post office receipts shows that there is growth. However, the increase will require a raise in box rents, com-? ~ ~ ~ T,, 1 tt Rrtv rente , 1UCUV/1U5 VY XV. 1A %J \AXJ JLOV. vv^ rates at the Bamberg office are now 35c, 45c, and 60c the quarter. After July 1st the rates will be 45c, 60c, and 75c the quarter. Linen Shower. One of the most enjoyable social | affairs of the season was a linen shower given by Mi6s Mozelle Copeland last Friday afternoon in honor of Miss'Pearl Black. Miss Copeland was assisted in receiving by Mrs. J. D. Copeland, Jr. The parlors were decorated with ferns and sweet peas, carrying out the color .scheme of green and pink with charming effect. A witty contest kept the party busy for several minutes, while the young ladies vainly tried to answer the many puzzling questions. At the close of the contest Miss Cres6ie Breland was awarded the prize, a beautiful "Volume of Sunshine," which she laughingly presented to the brideelect, hoping that her life would be a volume of sunshine. Mints, a salad course, and ices were served. Then all eyes were turned to the beautiful bay window, where sat our lovely bride-elect, her bright eyes beaming with happiness. Just over her head was suspended a large basket, seemingly 'filled with pink flowers. But just at the right moment little Sara Copeland, with a fairy touch, pulled the ribbons and the basket opened, showering the pretty linen gifts at the bride's feet. Just before leaving each guest was given a unique souvenir, containing a bag of rice to be showered on the bride on her wedding day. Miss Copeland proved herself an ideal hostess on this occasion, and all present voted this the prettiest shower they ever attended. Those present were: Misses Annie Laurie Rice, Annie Lou and Ruth Byrd, Mae Brabham, Frankie and Wilhelmina Folk, Bessie Armstrong, Cressie Breland, Leonard Folk, Genevieve Kirsch, Mary Livingston, Kate Rentz, Ethel and Urma Black, Harrie Delle Free, Marie Arndt, Alma and .\eu macK, Hiveiyii nw, juhcuuc auu Helen Easterling, Mary Ellen Eaves, Louise Folk, and Blanche Hair; Mesdames H.

At the appointed time the mothers with their little tots gathered at the hospitable home of Mrs. Rhoad, where a delightful afternoon was spent in conversation and watching the merri-' ment and play of the little ones on the lawn. - A delightful course of cake and cream was served, which was heartilv pniovpd hv all.

HODGES, Pastor, Railroad Avenue, Bamberg, S. C. Clean-up Days For Bamberg. Thursday and Friday, June 11th c and 12th. The civic league at its last meeting decided on the above dates for a city cleaning for Bamberg. and who can deny that she c] needs it? Let everyone become in- ^ terested! And set to work at once. g( Collect all vessels on your own premises and vacant lots near you and in y the streets; vessels that amount to j.( trash and that hold water, such as tin cans, bottles,, broken china or ^ crockery, oyster shells, etc., for it is ^ in such things as< these that many of ^ our mosquitoes breed and cause ma- ^ laria. Everybody in Bamberg can do a something toward making this a Q cleaner and more healthful place to ? live in. Do something, and do all you can. The town is divided into four, ei wards, and there are committees to S) look after interests in each ward. n The children will be paid to do their jj part at clean-up time. To each child gj collecting cans and bottles will be given five cents for every fifty col- C( lected. Children, place these in piles w in your ward and the ward committee c, wil call and count your number, you will be paid at the rate of five cents tl for every fifty. Get busy now, and a. you have a good way of making pin g1 money, in addition to staving off doc- p tors bills, and suffering. In addition to paying for can6 and bottles by the fifty, the league offers $1.00 n / P to the boy or girl having the most. Will the merchants please clean in the rear of their stores and get the f( refuse ready for wagons to naui u p off? This is absolutely necessary to w the health of the town. Have your jj, places so clean that there will be p nothing to attract the flies. It seems c. that there are more of these disease ^ carriers this year than usual, and it p is up to us to fight them if we expect ^ to ward off typhoid and other death- n dealing troubles. And, ladies, housekeepers of Bamberg, get the habit of doing a little of your marketing! Instead of phoning or sending a servant for everything you want from the markets, tl go down occasionally yourself and fj patronize the man who keeps the e cleanest market, and by all* means K the one freest from flies. If we eat t meat that has been crawled over by e flies from some one's back yard, K where there are typhoid patients, how w do you know that those tiny velvety t feet have not hundreds of those deadly germs left in their trail across your delicious steak or roast. We can't afford not to take a very active part in this clean-up campaign. cl Burn everthing that you can possibly ei burn, then pile for the wagons and * carts everything that is not burnable. P If everyone who has cows or horses ^ will sprinkle a little lime in the barns once a week it will kill the new flies 11 pnminer on. Keep this up all the ^ summer, and let us exterminate Mr. t] Fly. cl The chairmen of the ward commit- w tees are Mrs. E. O. Kirech, Mrs. B. W. Simmons, Mrs. J. W. Barr, Mrs. J. J. Jones, and Mrs. Ed. Kirkland, ri and each will count the cans, etc., in b her respective ward when informed by the collectors. E t cl Destructive Lightning. d a Tuesday afternoon Bamberg was ^ visited by a heavy thunderstorm, with tl a considerable fall of rain'and hail. The lightning was especially severe, a and during the storm the colored a Methodist church was struck on the y steeple and set on fire, being totally r, destroyed. The organ, Sunday-school a library, and some other articles were ti saved. There was insurance on the t; building of $1,000, but the building e could hardly be replaced for $3,000. For some time this congregation has ^ had plans for the erection of a brick a church, and this loss will force them v to erect another house of worship. f( Lightning also struck the girls' t hall at Carlisle School, knocking off v the cone of a chimney and tearing t a great hole in the roof. School p closed Monday night, and there was 0 no one in the building. s Easterl ing-Lawton. A marriage of unusual interest to 0 friends throughout the State was that * of Miss Xania Easterling to Mr. T. 0. Lawton. > The ceremony took pl'ace at the v home of the bride's parents in Bamberg last Friday, only the immediate family being, present. These young people are from two of the oldest and best families in the h State. Miss Easterling is a daughter a of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Easterling, of d Bamberg, and is a young woman of s unusual intellect, a very attractive e 1] nopcnnaiitv and numbers hpr fripnds }J^X OVUUitw; , by the score. Mr. Lawton is a man of sterling character. He is a gradu- e ate of Wofford college, and is now a r s very successful business man of Barnwell county. The happy couple went by auto to Columbia, where they boarded the train for White Stone Springs, Fla., where they will spend their honeymoon.

The Carlisle school baseball team losed recently one of its best seasons 1 baseball. The team held the prep :hool championship for the State 1 1913, and while the record this ear is not quite as good, still no v.no toi-on it fmm tbPTD There ram nu.o iuu^ju. *w v..w.... > a tie with Porter and Charleston [igh School in a way. Charleston [igh beat Carlisle two games, Porter eat High two games and Carlisle eat Porter two out of three. An ttempt was made to arrange to play ff this tie, but the two teams could ot get together, as the season was )o far advanced. Besides these games Carlisle playd and won two with Columbia High ;hool, one with McFeat-Bowen Busiess College and one with the Carona Scrubs. The percentage for ;hool games is 625. The Carlisle team has found it exsedingly difficult to arrange games ith other schools than these, beause they do not offer sufficient uarantee money. Some schools were ied in the upper part of the State, nd they not only refused to offer jfficient guarantee, but refused to lay Carlisle at all. In view of these facts Carlisle again elieve they are entitled to the chamionship for another year, and there>re claim it for 1914. The members of the team are as jllows: S. A. Merchant, coach; rancis Bamberg, pitcher; W. P. Foxorth, catcher; O. C. Johnston, first ase: Oscar Owens, second base; R. .yan Woods, short stop and pitcher, iptain; C. W. Browning, third base; J. J. Bowen, Jr., right field; Thos. . Duncan, centre field; Anthony talker, left field; H. Claude Parelle, pitcher. Ellzey-Poole.

The secretaries of the various tubs of the county have opened the nrollment books, in compliance with he new rules of the Democratic arty of South Carolina, enacted at ie recent Democratic State convenor The books opened Tuesday lorning, and will remain open until le last Tuesday in July, at which ;me all enrollment books will be losed, and no further registration 'ill be allowed. Under the new rules, each voter i required to personally apply for en ailment, signing the enrollment ook in person, or, if he cannot write. 3 make his mark.

Two years' residence in the State, nd six months in the county, re the requisites for enrollment this ear. Each voter is required to enoll at the club nearest his residence, nd to vote at the same place. HereDfore voters were allowed to c^st heir ballots at any place they were nrolled.

Doubtless all ther secretaries are willing to do the ame, in order that all persons quali0 led to vote may be able to do so. The books of the central club are pen in the office of the auditor, in he court house. Up to Tuesday, noon, more than 00 had been enrolled in accordance nth the new regulations. Annual Meeting.

Musical Recital. | Miss Pearl Counts was the charming hostess at a musical recital, given by her pupils on Thursday afternoon, at her attractive home on Railroad f avenue. P The invitations included a number * of the unmarried social set. Receiv- t ing at the door were Misses Julienne = and Helen Easterling, Mrs. H. F. Spann and Miss Counts ushering the = guests into rooms lovely with pot f( plants and fragrant flowers. f: After a short period of social inter- r c course, a most entertaining musical _ program was rendered, each pupil showing exceptional achievement, ** and many surmounting technical diffi- v culties with perfect ease and accuracy. The playing of these little people ~ would do credit to professional train- c ing, and show6 what can be done t with juvenile talent under competent j direction. 1 The musical feature of the occasion being over, the guests were invited into the dining room, where at beau- ? tifully appointed tables with lace c covers and adorned with sweet peas li and poppies, a delightful salad course was served by Misses Margaret Easterling, Rebecca Dickinson, and Gene d Price. r This enjoyable affair was closed c with sincere congratulations to teacher and pupils, and grateful acknowl- edgements of an afternoon most hap- _ pily spent.
