Brief Items of Interest Throughout , - I the Town and County. , Monday morning court convened. 1 This week criminal cases are being 1 tried, and next week the civil cases will be called. Mr, Clifford Kinard is confined to bis home on account of a fractured ankle received during the football game at St. Matthews last week. The Home Mission society will hold its regular monthly meeting next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist V'UUl VII* The following hold-over grand jurors were drawn to serve for another year: J. V. Matthews, H. M. Rhoad, G. A. McMillan, A. M. Brab ham, W. P. Jones, C. C. Ellzey. Mr. J. B. Brickie has almost completed his new garage building on Main street, and will occupy it soon. 1 The building is large and roomy, affording a great deal more floor space than the building now occupied by Mr. Brickie. McKenzie Brothers, of Ehrhardt, 1 have filed a voluntary petition in f bankruptcy in the United States dis- ! trict court at Charleston. The pe- I titioners allege their liabilities to be $10,000 and their assets $6,000, approximately. 1 Magistrate J. C. Copeland Monday tried Isaac Brown on three charges, ' violation of contract, carrying concealed weapons and firing on public ! highway, and resisting an officer. The negro was convicted on all three ' charges and sentenced to serve thirty ' days for each offence on the chain gang. < Mr. J. J. Chassereau, of Bartow, Ga., in renewing his subscription, says: "I am from Ehrhardt, S. C., so you see I can't do without The Herald. I am always glad to get The Herald to hear the news from home." Mr. Chassereau adds that he still has his cotton crop on hand, not having sold any. The fellow who thinks that the I newspaper is able to carry over subscription accounts until after the war closes has certainly gotten the thing sized up wrong. Printers and paper houses expect their pay when it is due, and the newspaper man certainly cannot pay his debts unless his subscribers pay theirs. Moral: Make an effort to pay your subscription today, if it is due. At noon Wednesday a fatal acci- , dent occurred at Brooker Zorn's gin nery at Govan. Two men, Lewis Kennedy, white, and Luther Nim. mons, a negro, were entrapped beneath the press and mangled beyond recognition. They were in the act of setting the press preparatory to packing a bale of cotton when the follow block slipped, catching them. ?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. The job department of The Bamberg Herald last Saturday printed for a firm in this city , 5,000 double page circulars. The printing was done on the Miehle press in this office in just three and one-half hours. The job was ready for delivery in about 48 hours after the copy was handed in, notwithstanding the fact that we have no electric current on Saturday afternoons. Headmaster J. C. Guilds, of the Carlisle school, has received up to this date 30 bales of cotton in response to the offer of the school to accept two bales of cotton at ten cents per pound in part payment of tuition and term fees in the school. The patrons of the school accepting the offer feel very grateful to the i school for the liberal offer, and many or tne parents sending siuaenis iu the school were quick to accept the proposition. The Farmers Gin company will install some time before next season an up-to-date flour mill, to accomodate the farmers this coming, year who expect to plant wheat. This ' is a mighty good step in the right direction, and will doubtless encourage the planting of wheat crops this season. The price of flour is high in ordinary times, and has gone up higher since the war in Europe started. The lands in Bamberg are said to be well adapted to wheat raising, and there is no reason why every farmer should not plant at least enough for his own uses this season. 1 ( Trinity M. E.
