Some cotton 00 is being bought, but the price paid ar is generally a good deal under the market quotation. Mrs. C. F. Barker, of Barnwell, in renewing her subscription to The Herald, says, "Enclosed you will find ga 75 cents. Please send The Herald. Can't do without it. It is the best Ti county paper I know of. ' The Herald is always glad to have our friends and readers send us be ' items of news at any time. If you have a friend visiting you, call us Es up over the phone and tell us about it. Your friends would be glad to Pi know about it. Yesterday and today were tne ap- t>c pointed days for "clean-up." A committee of ladies from the civic league h< visited the merchants and places of business Tuesday reminding them of Ba the clean-up days, and requesting their cooperation in cleaning the city. Old "Uncle" Caesar Dowling, a highly respected codored man of this city, died Sunday night very suddenly. Uncle Caesar was a good negro, one well liked by everybody, white and colored. He went to bed Sunday \ night apparently well, but died short- Tt ly after. Our correspondents seem to have struck on account of the war?or some other reason. The Herald . would like to have news letters from every section of the county each week, and trust our friends will here- ^ after send us regularly the happenings of their communities. fo The case of the Southern Express T- co company vs. Folk, a former agent at h| Branchville, occupied the attention of the court yesterday. It seems jt that the latter is charged with a shortage in his accounts, which W{ brought about the prosecution.? . Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Work has been commenced on the passenger and freight station of the Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad, and we understand that trains will begin to be operated over the line in the next a i week or so. Trains have been run- let ning over the road for some time, but a regular schedule is to be established. Mi Mr. W. L. Lovingood Saturday received a card from his brother-inlaw. Paymaster Charles L. Timmons, by stating that he was then, twelve days previously, at Weymouth. England. Paymaster Timmons is on the crew of the battleship Tennessee, in) which was sent to European waters stl some time since on a relief expedition to assist the Americans in Eu- frc rope. ov The Southern Bell company requests the patrons of the company to be patient with the operators, in ^ view of the fact that they have cnly sh recently taken charge of the exchange here. Being unacquainted with the keyboard, some little delay may be caused for a short t me. They are ce< doing everything they can for the good and improvement of the service, and by cooperating with the operators a better service can be had. th T. A. Lewis was arrested in Green- op ville .Monday night, charged with nn having killed A. S. J. Perry near Campobello. about twenty years ago. 5"? Lewis and Perry had a quarrel over Fr a girl, when Lewis killed him with a rock. He made a successful es- of cape at the time and was not heard of until a few days ago, when he lo' was located at Greenville, where he has a wife and five . children. He ha does not deny the killing. Be ~ . . . .

Latest Guns and Bullets Have Multiplied Labor of Surgeons. a The eyes of the medical and surgi- ? :al world are fixed on the awful prob- KJ ems involved in properly caring for :he immense number of wounded that )g will shortly have to be removed from S ?4 battlefields of Europe. We have S perfected the means of killing and wounding men until scarcely more Sl could possibly be expected. ^Iachine t0 ?uns of all kinds can mow soldiers 5* down by the hundreds and thousands, Put each of these when not killed has to be cared for individually and we cannot cure them by machinery, nor be in large numbers, but each individual fo :ase will r^auire expert care and the ws special consideration of trained minds ec md hands. w The new arms and new bullets or liave added to the destructiveness ot of svar, but have multiplied surgeons' le problems and have made military di surgery a special study for which, vi fortunately for humanity, there is th lot much experience provided, al- fa though unfortunately for those who Pave to be treated right now the sur- ju ;eons will have to do their best pres- fr sure. ar Prof. Octave Laurent, who spent sh 11 months campaigning with the nf Bulgarian armies during the j r so svar in the Balkans, has just publish- to ?d the story of his surgical experi- sp smces and from this some idea of the di jrewsome work before the military je surgeons of Europe can be obtained, wi ilthough probably even this fails to m ?ive any adequate notion of the sur- th 5ical experience that will be forced upon the army surgeons. Prof, m Laurent declares that ordinary civil ol surgery furnishes no real training fe For modern military surgery and that th the surgeon must literally train him- P] self as best he can. The wounds in- Tt Sicted by modern bullets are quite ]et different from those that have been di so carefully studied and so much n( written about in the past and oniy ht liis knowledge of the general princi- as pies of surgery and his own common ri sense and power to meet emergencies tli pf all kinds will be helpful to the ps surgeons in the unusual conditions et that present themselves. 1. As Prof. Laurent himself is a well A known professor of surgery and the tli author of a text book on the subject wi which lias gone through three edi- be lions and which lias been translated ri into several modern languages, his de ppinions on this subject are well m tvorthv of consideration. His ex-lth periences have been presented to 1 to French medical societies and his oh- it nervations have been ti e subject ofita -erious discussion that has always! W recognized the value of his work.

There is no doubt that there wi ; a vast number of wounded to car v. The experience in the Balkan as that there was about four wounc 1 for every soldier, killed. Th ounds are usually inflicted by th dinary infantry arm. while mos ! the dead are killed by the arti rv. About three out of four so ers wounded by the infantry sui ve.. Nearly three out of four c ose wounded by the artillery hav tal wounds inflicted. More than one-half of the fatal ir ries in the Balkan campaign cam om the artillery. Out of 100 kille id wounded 12 would be killed b irapnel, 15 to 20 wounded by shrai >1, eight killed by the infantry an ime 60 to 65 wounded. Accordin the old proverb, it still takes, i lite of the modern training of 6o! ers?at least so far as the expei nee in the Balkans went?a man' eight in lead to kill him. Man illions of balls were fired for th ousands wounded and killed. Modern high velocity projectile ake very different wounds from th d musket balls and even very di! rent surgical lessons from thos iat were seen during the France russian war or even the Russiar irkish war in IS76. The modern bu ; with very high initial velocity, pre ices certain serious consequence iver seen before. Its power fo irm is simply enormous. The avei te ball from one of the new moder fles will at 600 meters distance at is. nearly two-fifths of a mile iss through three men. It will pec rate a single man ar a distance c TOO meters, that is nearly a mile t more than a mile it will pas irougli the skull, making clea ounds of entrance and exit in bot my plates. It can produce a se ous. even fatal wound of the at miinal region at a distance of 3,.">0 eters. that is, considerably mor an two miles. Fortunately, owin tlie circumstances of modern wai is usually at these rather long (lis noes that the wounds are prcducec hen the combatants are at shot nge the effects are often awful t mtempiate. The awful penetrating power c e modern bullet will be very we! alized from some of the incident 'scribed by Prof. Laurent in his ac mnt of the surgery of the Bulga an campaigns. In cases where sol * ist Cash Paid Foi /i lonj ,AD( Sale at Lo1 Cash Prices tERSGI berg, South Car d ,:ers, in order to protect themselves - irom the enemy's volleys, were dix rected to lie down, some of them o were wounded in the shoulders and the wounds of exrt" for the bullets 11 was often below the knees in the e legs. In spite of the long course of 's such a wound, important organs and 1_ the internal viscera were sometimes e found to have been spared or prace tieally so and some of those thus wounded recovered completely. Such l_ a wound has been known to remain [. aseptic and to heal promptly permitting the soldier to go back in the ,f course of a few weeks. e The higher the velocity of the bullet the greater tire injury produced. From 300 to 500 meters, that is, at distances of from 1,000 feet to a little e ^ more than a quarter of a mile, the explosive effects of the modern bul( lets are noted. The lead projectile d covered with the steel casing when g its velocity suddenly tends to be arrested takes on an explosive action, I which tears soft tissues to pieces and comminutes bones. The lead itself actually seems almost to be melted s at times in this process, and is scaty tered through neighboring tissues in I a rather finely divided 6tate. ; . Almost needless to say, such J wounds are extremely difficult to i e , heal. They take a long time for the tissues to which they have been subjected, and in the meantime thy furnish many opportunities for the in-j I vasion of infectious elements of any irinH that mav hannen to be Dresent ) in the neighborhood. The wounds are seldom infected at the moment r they are made, infection readily occurs afterward, and is often very se-t rious if not fatal. The explosive manifestations of a modern bullet at short range makes f sad havoc, particularly in wounds of the brain. Matignon described a se> " i ries of wounds of the head made in n I h I ,.)

Portions of the cranium were ' < : blown away entirely and there was ' sometimes an almost absolute emptying of the skull cavity of its brain substance. The brain itself actually seemed to blow up by a sort of hy- < drodynamic action and be scattered entirely outside the cranium.
