The "Tom Thumb Wedding," given
at the auditorium of the Carlislt

success. The play was produced under
the auspices of the U. D. C. chap

The State railroad commissioi
visited Denmark yesterday, where i
hearing was held on the matter o
improving the passenger station a

The Bamberg Warehouse compan;
is erecting another warehouse nea
the first one built at the first of th<
season. The first warehous^^fa
filled to its capacity-'WMrtrtir'a fe\
days after^s*completion, and it wa
found necessary to add another. Th<
new warehouse will have a simila
capacity as the present one, 1,00?
bales.
Within the next few days Thi
Herald expects to mail out state
ments to all subscribers whose sub
scriptions have expired. The amoun
due us by each one of our subscrib
ers is very small, and most of then
can be met without any difficulty
and we will thank our friends to rc
pS'
spond to the statements as early a
Mr. J. D. Copeland. Jr., corre
spondent for the census bureau o
the United States department of ag
riculture, reports that up to Octobe
, 18th. there had been ginned in Bam
berg county 15,794 bales of cotton
as compared with 16,064 in 1913
This seems to indicate that the cro]
in this county will not be as largi
as previously predicted.
A large number of Bamberg citi
zen6 visited the State fair in Colum
bla last week. Those who saw th?
fair state that it was perhaps thi
best ever held, the various count;
exhibits being especially fine. Mos
of the county exhibits were pre
pared by the county demonstratioi
agents. The attendance this yea
was nothing to compare with tha
of former years, it is stated.
The Bamberg delegation to th<
general assembly returned to the cit;
Tuesday from the special session
The session came to a close Monda;
night. The only legislation passe<
concerning the cotton situation wa:
the cotton acreage reduction bill, pro
viding for only one-third of the land:
to be planted in cotton, the bom
issue bill, which died a natural deatl
in the governor's office, and th<
warehouse bill.
Although the legislature has don<
nothing to assist the farmer, th<
farmers of Bamberg county are mak
ing preparations to plant next yea:
largely of wneat ana otner gran
crops. The indications are that ver
little cotton will be planted in thi:
county. It is said on good authori
ty that there will be more whea
planted in this county than ever be
fore, and some predict that enougl
flour will be milled in this county
to provide enough bread for all o
the residents.

: Mr. \V. B. Chitty Had Fine Display
i at the State Fair.
Bamberg county was represented
i at tlie State fair in Columbia last
' week by a most creditable exhibit,
prepared by .Mr. W. B. Chitty, of
Olar. The exhibit consisted o:' farm
t products grown by" .Mr. Chitty, every1
tiling practically that can be grown
on a Bamberg farm being shown,
j Those who saw the exhibit describe
it as being one of the best displays
of the entire fair, and .Mr. Chitty is
due the thanks of the people of the
county for his efforts in preparing
the exhibit. .Mr. Chittv is himself
" one of the countv's foremost farmers,
f
and he has proven conclusively by
1 his exhibit at the fair that it is not
necessary to send much money out of
the county for home and farm sup
pies, for nearly everything needed
can be grown right at home. It is
stated that this is the first time
Bamberg county has been representI
ed at the fair in Columbia. Although
, Mr. Chitty is as good a cotton farm,
er as a "raise-your-own-supplies" farr
mer. he did not feature cotton in his
1 exhibit, as this is not calculated to
I be a time for telling the Southern
- farmer much about cotton.

MR. ALLEX C. FREE. | A,
Highly Esteemed Confederate Vet-! ^
eran Passed Away Friday. ^
Last Friday morning .Mr. Allen (\ !
Free, an old resident of Bamberg' A
county and a Confederate veteran, j
died at his home i:i this county, in vj?
the Springtown sec tion. The re- j @
mains were interred at Springtown1?
Church Saturday morning, in the i gjfc
presence of a large congregation of ig\
friends and relatives. The funeral 3C
services were conducted hy the Rev. j?
E. A. McDowell, of Ehrhardt.
Mr. Free was 60 years of age. He @
is survived by three sons, Messrs. fijfc
Clinton. Jacob and Milford Free, and <gv
two daughters. Misses Sinie and Fan- !8r[
nie Lou Free. His wife died several 'Sj'
years ago. Mr. C. B. Free, of this \2?
city, was a half-brother. @
Mr. Free was stricken with para- @
lysis about two and a half years ago,
and never, recovered. Some months
ago he was again stricken and had ^
been confined to his bed up to the
time of his death. @
The deceased was a veteran of the ?
war between the sections. Early in
the war he went to Cole's island to
enlist in the service of his country, S?
but was rejected because he was un- \S/
der age. He very reluctantly re- @
turned to his home, remaining about @
a year, when he went to the front to
act as substitute for his father, serv- ^
ing in the artillery corps. He made ac
one of the best soldiers in the South- >2/
ern cause, serving through the re- ?
mainder of the war. He returned to @
his home without injury, though he ?&
was in some of the bloodiest battles ^
of the mighty conflict. *
While he had never become a member
of any church, he took a keen 68
interest in the affairs of the Spring- @
town church; was a "true and loyal
