Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Moye. who have

/
Mrs. J. M. Jennings and Mrs. Reynolds

a boarding house.
The Johnson Hotel is now vacant,
having been vacated by Mrs. Sandifer
and Miss Snyder, who are now
occupying rooms in the old dormitory
of the Carlisle school.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Black, who
were married last week, will go to
housekeeping at once in one of the
new cottages on Carlisle street belonging
to Mr. Thomas Black.
Mr. and Mrs. H. X. Folk, who have
been boarding at the Johnson Hotel
for some time, moved last week into
one of the new cottages which were
f erected on Carlisle street by Mr.
Thomas Black.
According to the last report issued
by the census department, Bamberg
county had ginned up to November
14, 22,645 bales, against 22,049 for
the same date last year, an increase
of nearly 600 bales for the county.
The postmaster has been notified
that nuts and fruits may be forwarded
by parcel post in sealed packages.
Parcel post packages are usually required
to be unsealed, but an exception
has been made of packages of
nuts and fruits.
By an oversight, the meeting for
the foreign and home societies for
the Methodist church was announced
for the first Tuesday in December.
The meeting is to be held in the
ladies' parlor on Tuesday afternoon
next at 4 o'clock. Let us have a
large attendance, please.
Prof. D. L. Betts. of Wofford college,
Spartanburg, writes: "I enclose
herewith a check for $1.50,
being payment of my subscription to
<ri\?ir?cr n Q q

good newsy paper. I don't want my
subscription to stop. 'We boys' here
from Bamberg can't do without it." j
The graded school gave a holiday
from Wednesday of last week until
Monday of this week, as a session
was held on the Saturday before in
order that no school would be held
Friday and some of the teachers
could spend Thanksgiving with
friends and relatives out of town, j
For some reason the work on the
passenger station has been suspend-!
ed for some days. The concrete work [
has been completed. The train shed
is yet to be placed. The depot presents
a much improved appearance,
although many citizens think Bam
berg was entitled to an entirely new
station.
Among the 101 convicts granted
clemency by the governor of South
Carolina Thanksgiving day, one was
from Bamberg county, Tink Hancock,
a negro. Hancock was convicted
last March of manslaughter, and sentenced
to serve twelve years upon the
public works. He received a Thanksgiving
parole.
The football game on Thanksgiving
day Ibetween the Carlisle
school team and the Orangeburg
high school team resulted in a score
of 27 to 6 in favor of the local team.
Carlisle has a fine team this year,
and it is in good trim. A large
crowd came over from Orangeburg
to witness the game.
The Branchville Herald says:
"The Savannah & Northwestern
railroad project seems to be a dead
dog. We have made diligent inquiries
as to the cause of work being
suspended, but can learn nothing
other than the supposition that the
promoters have failed to raise the
necessary funds on account of business
depression caused by the European
war."
The people of Bamberg, without
exception we feel sure, are delighted
that Rev. E. 0. Watson has been
sent to Trinity Methodist church for
next year. Mr. Watson is known to
the congregation of Trinity, having
visited here on a number of occasions
and he also conducted a meeting
here'some years ago. He is an
attractive pulpit orator, with a magnetic
personality and has held some
of the most important appointments
in the South Carolina conference.
We welcome him to Bamberg, and
trust he will do a great work here,
which seems to be needed.
The Bamberg Herald will give aj
year's subscription to anyone bring- j
ling a potato to tins office weighing j
j more than twelve pounds. This may
' 1-e the biggest potato in the State,
but we believe Bamberg cgn easily
beat any other county.
We wish to request everyone who
received a notice last week that his
! or her subscription had expired eith!
er remit to us at once or drop us a
! "n?o stating when we may expect
| settlement. The Herald has no deI
sire to continue the paper to anyone
| who does not want the paper, and if
j there is anyone who cannot pay for
it at this time, we ask thai they notify
as to that effect.
The postmaster requests it stated
that all Christmas packages may now
be filed with the postodice for dispatch.
in order to avoid the usual
Christmas rush and to give the best
possible service, the postoiTice will
receive in advance, weigh, stamp and |
prepare parcels for dispatch, but will
hold, if 60 requested, until just before
Christmas. By doing this all'
packages will be dispatched promptly
before the holidays. All packages
may be marked "Not to be opened
until after Christmas."

Henderson entertained at a reception
complimentary to her daughter,

many artistic ways. A large number

Trinity Sabbath School.
Regardless of the rain there was

a spienuia aueuuttute ai uic ounu?.<school
services on the last Sabbath.
It :being our regular Sabbath for
the study of missions we were fortunate
in having Mr. Swain Merchant
to give us a talk on Belgium. Mr.
.Merchant brought out many interesting
points in the history of this little
country. Though less than one-fourth
the size of our State of Mississippi,
it is densely populated by a veryfrugal
set of people.
Our hearts go out to these people
in their failure to i%main neutral in
the present war, and we trust that
our Sabbath-schools of America will
see to it that they do their part to
restore and push forward higher
ideals of love and service in the
hearts of the Belgian people, who in
spite of present surroundings, are
still a pleasant people.

Taxes Coming In Slowly.
County Treasurer Jennings stated
yesterday that up to the present
time he has collected only about $2,716
in county and State taxes. The
total amount of taxes due in this
county this year is $73,593. Mr.
? * *1. * * f n VAO O . K A
j JCnmilgS Siiys uiai uic ia.\co aiv> uv
ing paid unusually slow this fall,
and that he should have collected up
to this time fully $10,000. He urges
that the taxpayers come in and pay
their taxes, as it is possible that the
schools all over the State, as well
as all other State institutions, will
suffer for lack of funds.
Of the total taxes to be collect- *ed
from this county the railroads
pay $16,094 and the banks $34,570,
these being the two largest classes
of taxpayers.
Of the amount already collected. al
something over $400 was paid over su
to State Treasurer Carter. The
amount of taxes received by .Mr. Car- ^a
ter up to .Monday was about $4S.OO,
against about double that amount for
the same date of last year.
The B., E. and W. Depot. Y,
Contracter Bolen is having the
finishing touches put on the new ?
Bamberg. Ehrhardt and Walterboro
railroad station, and the depot will
soon be ready for use. The build- st;
ing is now being painted. The sta- oli
tion is quite large and roomy. A ^
long freight platform has been built
on the south end, and ample freight of
rooms have been provided. The sta- Bj
tion is neat and presents an excel- ba
lent appearance. 24

Communication is slow from Mex- ni

commander, had called at the American
consulate and through Consul
Canada had extended congratulations
to this government upon the orderly
manner upon which the evacuation
was made and the clean condition in
which he found the city. First Chief
Carranza and Gen. Obregon and Alrarado
were expected to enter the
town at 4 o'clock. Automobiles and
cars carrying aeroplanes and several
train loads of other property had
just arrived from Mexico City. The
Mexican gunboat Zaragosa was in the

The second, '.in the Black Forest,"
will start about a week later, it
contains some of the most astounding
revelations of them all. It tells
of a secret conference, over which
Dr. Graves was the guard. The secretary
of the Kaiser told him what
this mission was when he came to
the foreign office, and the author expresses
his astonishment:
"Here was all the press having
Germany and England ready to rush
at each other's throats in war. . .And
now here were two powerful members
of the English cabinet meeting
the Kaiser's ministers of war secretly."
What did they confer about?
What result had it upon European
politics? Dr. Graves lays tne entire
agreement open, and concludes liis
remarkable article thus:
"Do you recall how Germany at
the very beginning of the great war
hurled her army corps upon France
by way of Belgium? I cannot help
believing that to the last Germany
felt secure in so doing- - that Kngland
would not object? and all because
of that seceret meeting in the
Black Forest I have told you of."
