Ulbc Samfacrg ifrraib Thursday, July 30,1914. 1 SHORT LOCAJLS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout s the Town and County. r Mr. H. H. Hill exhibited to The * Herald Monday a very fine specimen 1 of the Avocada pear, which was ' grown at Sanford, Fla. ? The county campaign party will ad- ^ dress the voters at Denmark on Wed- g nesday, August 5th. Everybody is f invited to the meeting. g Sunday was probably the hottest s day of the summer in Bamberg. One s gentleman stated that a thermometer i registered 104 in the shade. r Tuesday was the last day for en- c rolling to vote in the Democratic pri- c mariee. If you have not enrolled, r you cannot vote in the primaries) i this year. 11 A county campaign meeting will c be held at Bamberg on Friday, August 21st, at which time the candidates for county offices will address the voters. f I The Herald is always glad to re- c . J ceive news letters from the different i j sections of the county and other near- i by points. We trust our correspond- c ents will send us letters regularly. s We should like to have a correspondent in every section of the county, j The congressional candidates will a address the voters at Bamberg on i" Friday, July 31st. The people of the I county are invited to be present and t hear the claims of the aspirants. Hon. c James F. Byrnes, incumbent, is opposed by R. M. Mixon, of Barnwell I -?c v;uuui.? A fine rain fell here Tuesday af- E ternoon, which was much needed, as the crops were suffering considerably from a lack of moisture. The yield will not be near so large as was ex- ^ pected one time during the season, but as a rule, corn crops are fine and little grain should be shipped in here s from the West next year. Mr. Roy Bessinger, a son of Mr. ^ W. D. Bessinger, who lives just above r town, while hunting in the swamp * Tuesday, shot a rattlesnake that he says measured nine inches in circum- " ference, was four feet four inches long, and had nine rattles and but- 4 ton. This, is as large a snake as has been killed in this section in some time. - i : C r Mr. W. C. Patrick has entered into business with Mr. B. W. Simmons, .. I doing business under the name of B. W. Simmons & Co. Mr. Patrick's t friends are glad to welcome him back to Bamberg's commercial field. He has for several years been connected with insurance companies in Columbia. He will also continue his in- v surance business in Bamberg. i] Col. Folk has/had a number of im- a provements made at Glendale " Springs. A new and larger cement c basin has been put in, and all around ti the spring has been bricked and ce- s; mented. The flow has been devel- s oped, too, and is now much larger a than formerly. The water is now P being shipped, Col Folk havirg put a on a delivery wagon. There is; little o doubt that the water will find a ready market. P Every rural carrier from the Bamberg postoffice now uses an automobile to deliver his mail, thus giving ? quicker service to the patrons. Postmaster General Burleson has recently expressed himself in favor of carriers using automobiles instead of a horses and birggies, because with a machine a carrier can give better ser- a vice. We doubt if there is another office in the State where every carrier uses an automobile, especially for an office the size of Bamberg. ^ D. F. Hooton, cashier of the Bam0 berg Banking Co., has recently issued a statement showing the wonderful - - - . . ? 3. prosperity his hank has enjoyed since its organization in 1887. This statement shows that the institution has 4 earned $226,000 since organization and has paid $175,000 in dividends. It now has a capital of $55,000 and surplus and profits are shown at $62,- q 000. For twenty-three years it was 3 the only financial institution in the j city and through that time has ren- 3 dered a service that has resulted in s its maintaining the support of substantial friends.?The Southeastern ^ Banker. Atlanta, Ga. e 1 a New Road Work. ^ h The chain gang having practically a finished the Bamberg-Denmark road, is now at work on the road leading to Capt. W. S. Bamberg's. Work has commenced just beyond the city limits, and the roadway is being wid ened and clayed. Following the idea of Supervisor Bruce that only permanent work will be done hereafter, when the gang leaves this road g it will be a fine highway. Would f that the idea of wide and permanent s roads had been followed in this coun- J ty for the past fifteen years. We t< would have had many miles of real f good roads, where now we have li many new roads but none as wide or as good as they ought to be. S CHANGE IN ROUTE. ?oute 4 is Changed to Accommodate More Patrons. Effective August 16th there will he i change in Rural Route No. 4 from he Bamberg office. The change will lot make the route any longer and vill not deprive any patrons now on he route of service, but will add a lumber of new patrons. The route is changed will come on down the lamberg-Denmark road, taking in the ilantations of Messrs. J. H. Hadwin ind J. A. J. Rice and will go north rom there through by the A. E. H. limmons place. The people of that ection have wanted the change for ,ome time, and the postmaster has lad the matter up with the departnent and succeeded in having th^ hange made. Parties who will revive mail on the new portion of the oute are urged to have their boxes n position by the 16th of August, as hat is the date the new service will ommence. 'V upen i ouoh duh?. Mr. A. W. Brabham, a prominent armer of the Olar section of this :ounty, and a member of the Plant Jreeders' association, exhibited here Friday two well developed and fully tpened bolls of cotton, the first to be hown in this county for the season. Mr. Brabham says these bolls were ilucked from a field of ten acres of t special variety of cotton developed inder the auspices of the Plant Jreeders' association, and that the larvesting will begin before the close >f July.

Breland, first vice president; J. , M. Grimes, second vice president; C. j W. Rentz, secretary; W. D. Sease, d assistant secretary and treasurer. s The convention then proceeded to arrange a programme for the meeting at 8:30, which was completed, and after a little promiscuous fid- C dling by various fiddlers, the meeting adjourned to meet at 8:30 p. m. the same day. When that hour arrived, h such a "cat-gut" stretching, thump- h ing and tuning was never heard in y the history of the county, when h suddenly we were called to order by n our president, who announced our o good friend, Mr. S. G. Mayfield, would n in behalf of Bamberg deliver an ad- e dress of welcome to the fiddlers. This Ii address was one of the Matures of b the evening, expressing the pleasure ? and delight of our people in Bam- s; berg in having our friends, neighbors f( and fellows enjoy this social ocbasion y with us. After this fiddling began in earnest. We will not give you in detail pieces and players of the even- e . . . x 1. a ing, as it mignt cause luu iuucu icgret on part of our friends who were not with us to see what they missed. 0 But we must mention some work of D this evening, such as "Turkey in the r Straw," "Sweet Bunch of Daisies," a "Up-to-date Waltz," as rendered by * W. D. Sease, A. M. Loadholt, A. M. ~ Kinard, and G. W. Jenny; "Steamboat Bill," "Ragtime Band," "Whistling Rufus," by Herbert Folk, C. R. P Miller, J. H. Pearson, John Mitchel, ^ Connor Smoak, and J. B.

Bessin- ^ ger. Before the session was over, n C. W. Bessinger was better known ^ ae "Cindy," Brooks All's name bet- ^ tor known as "Leather Breeches," Frank Kirkland's name now is "Dixie," J. S. Breland and L. A. Brab- ? II ham are the "Raccoons on de Rail, , .. b W. D. Sease's name now is "Turkey, ^ (in the straw,) Dr. Ed Kirkland's ^ "Ham Bone," W. G. Kearse's "Golden F Slippers." Most of the other fiddlers will answer to their proper a names, so it is reall^not necessary to ^ go further with the names. Just be- * fore the close of this meeting, the president announced that the next ^ day at 10 o'clock, all the fiddlers .. would asesmble near the court house, . where they would find automobiles ^ to take them to the river to spend the day and be furnished dinner. ^ Then, after "Dixie," played by him- ^ self, the meeting stood adjourned to ^ meet next evening at 8:30. We wish to make mention of the l A n oil onnnt of f Vio verv piea^aut ua; v? ^ cm o^cut O.X. y river, where about 100 were served p a delicious dinner by the manage- f( ment at the pavilion. h On the evening of the 23rd, at S: 30 tl o'clock, we again had a crowded si house to enjoy the fun and fiddling, p We can only mention a few of the ia main features of the evening. We a had several contests played at this a meeting. We had a few more in v the audience, and a few more fiddlers present at this meeting. One fam- j< ily, consisting of three sisters and o two brothers, Misses Wilhelmina c: I and Doris Folk, Mrs. Avis j Mr. Melvin Carter Dead. > Mr. Melvin R. Carter, one of the Ri nost prominent and highly respected e oung citizens of the Little Swamp ection, died at his home on Jane 2. He was the son of Jacob E. and be 'lementine Carter, and was 2G years th ild. He is survived by a half broth- q3 r, Mr. B. B. Goodwin, and two half a r isters, Miss Ella Goodwin and Mrs. be ames Goodwin, of Ocalla, Fla. Mr. Wj barter was a most promising young m< nan, highly esteemed for his manly 21 haracter, and his departure has sad- pe ;ened a large circle of friends. a The Orangeburg Road. ea inj t6( The road between Bamberg and )rangeburg has been worked, and on gf] he causeway through the Edisto iver swamp has been raised. Howiver, the road is not complete, and ol< hould receive further attention. The S1C auseway through the swamp should lso be widened, as it is now too narow in many places for two vehicles o pass, and the sand placed thereon rill soon wash off because of its ridth. This road is an important ut< ne, and the Bamberg folks who go tb< o Orangeburg quite often are anx- ms ous that it be made a first-class lighway. We trust our friends on hat side of the river will keep after th< he authorities until the road is put a fine condition. of CO] Heart and Liver Transposed. raj Wabash, Ind., July 22.?Examinaion made by a physician after the leath of Mabel Talmage, eleven years P? dd, disclosed the fact that her heart ras on the right side and that her iver was on the left side.
