Notwithstanding the talk of hard
times, the Bamberg merchants have! .
I sr
given The Herald a liberal advertisa

many merchants hold views to the
contrary, it is conceded by advertising
experts that now is preeminently
the opportune time to advertise, and
they figure that better results can ^
be had from advertising now than in

Bamberg Tangerines.
Saturday Mr. J. M. 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.
