Grimes, of th city, brought to The Herald offir what to all appearances was a Flor da or California tangerine. He e: plained, however, that it was neitht grown in California or Florida, bi right here in Bamberg on his placi Six years ago Mr. Grimes secured tangerine tree plant and as a matte more of curiosity than anything els planted it. For some time afterwar he protected the small tree from th cold in the winter, and at one tim he thought the plant had been ki let but in the spring it budded out agaii After this he did not give the youn tree any protection from the cob and found that it could withstan the weather well. The tree ha borne some fruit for several season: but none to amount to anything. Thi year. Mr. Grimes stated, the tre bore no less than four busheis c tangerines. The fruit has a fin luscious flavor, quite equal to an tangerine we have tasted. The siz compares most favorably with Flor da fruit, and as tangerines alway sell hereabouts for two or three to 3. nickel, it can readily be seen tha this tree of Mr. Grimes's has yield jd a bountiful profit. Mr. Grime says he expects to try to develop th industry on a larger scale, and be Sieves that he will meet with success He expects to get some orange tree ind climatize them, if possible. 1 seems quite possible, from Ml 3rimes's experience, that orange md tangerines may be grown profit ibly in this section.

Urges Inspection of Schools. i: Judge Bowman's charge to the grand jury last week has been characterized as being one of the ablest ^ heard in Bamberg. Judge Bowman 1" was especially strong in his charge ie on the subject of the public schools. In this regard he said: "Gentlemen of the jury, it is your ? duty to look well after the educational interests of your county, espe iS ciallv the interests of the public ie schools. It is your duty, and your privilege, to visit these schools, see that the school houses are properly equipped, properly heated, properly furnished and see that the teachers ie perform their duties; that the chil- , 5e dren are properly taught. .Most of ^ the schools, especially the rural schools of the State, are taught by s> the young ladies of our State, young ladies who have largely been educated in the higher institutions of is our State. These young ladies are d doing a great work for the children, r" they are teaching our children, I believe, better than they ever have been taught before. These young ladies are well qualified for this high ls calling, and they are performing >e their duty well. Our people owe a great debt of gratitude to them; why. ?_j their very influence is uplifting and >r helpful to our children, and they are It teaching our children in such a manner as will make them better citia zens. better men and better women. >r to meet the obligations of life. ie "Go to these schools, gent'emen cj of the grand jury, and see how the e children are being taught, and say e a word of encouragement to the I teachers, let them Know that you are 1 with them in this great work and gi that the parents of the children are j j pleased with what has been and is j j being done." lS Seven .Murder Cases. 5, IS In the criminal court last week no e; less than seven murder cases were ){I tried. There were nine cases in all e tried and disposed of, seven of them y being murder cases. Only one, Chare ley Wright, was found guilty of murl" der, and he was recommended to s: mercy. Only one case, that of Page 'rj Odom, resulted in a verdict of not lt guilty in some degree. One murder trial, that of Ben Sheppard, resulted s i in a mistrial, and Ed Pauls, who was e i jointly charged with murder with | Ervin Sma'ls, was acquitted. >. I 1?- ?? s\ SPECIAL NOTICES.
