Middling cotton is now quoted ai seven cents in Augusta. The prevailing price in Bamberg is consider ably lower. 1 The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bamberg Banking company will be held at the bank on December 21st. The Carlisle school will give the usual Christmas holiday vacation from Saturday next until the firsl Tuesday in January. The Bamberg graded school's Christmas holiday vacation will commence Friday afternoon, and will last for the usual two weeks. Many water pipes were frozen Tuesday morning as a result of the cold spell. The fall so far has been interspersed with an unusual numher of verv cold days. "Mr. Pegram and Mr. Arthur, ol the Southern railway, will be in Bamberg Thursday to look over the new railroad," said a gentleman yesterday to- The Herald. He declined to discuss the matter further, however. According to Mr. J. D. Copeland, Jr., local representative of the census cotton reports, there had been ginned in Bamberg county up to December first 24,807 bales of cotton, against 24,002 bales on the same date last year. This week the supreme court heard the appeals in the cases of the town of Denmark against J. H. Robinson and M. D. Corley. These are appeals from verdicts rendered in the town court of Denmark for violation of town ordinances. The decisions have not been rendered. \ In regard to the bankruptcy matter Of the W. r ree company, it 15 uuderstood that a settlement is being negotiated. An agreement is said to have been reached by the creditors, but the matter is yet to be confirmed by the courts. It is stated that the assets of the company were listed at approximately $36,000. The Herald carries today a large amount of Christmas advertising for the various concerns in the city. Our friends throughout the county will do well to come to Bamberg to do their shopping, as they will find an up-to-dat? assortment of Christmas goods here this year. Read the advertisements. You will find them both interesting and profitable. Last Saturday a local cotton buyer purchased a bale of cotton at perhaps the record low price since the low record established in the nineties. He paid 3 1-2 cents per pound for the bale, the total amount being between seventeen and eighteen dollars. The cotton, of course, was of a low grade, but under ordinary circumstances, would have been worth more than double this amount. The New Railroad. When asked about the Bamberg. Walterboro and Ehrhardt railroad Tuesday, Mr. J. A. Williams stated that owing to unforeseen circumstances he could not announce the date when the road would be put into operation. It is understood that negotiations have been under way for some time with the Atlantic Coast Line for that road to take over the new railroad, though Mr. Williams declined to state whether or not there has been any definite understanding with the Coast Line. The road is now complete, with the exception of some small details, and is ready for /%T?or!?tir>n As vet however, the road is without rolling stock, but within the next few weeks some action is expected to be taken as to the road's operation. The people ol Bamberg and Ehrhardt and intervening territory have been expecting great things from the new railroad, and though the business depression has no doubt presented a severe obstacle, so far as stated there is nc reason for the people to become discouraged over the road's prospects. Postmasters Appointed. The postmaster general has announced the appointment of the following postmasters in this vicinity: Baldock, James M. Smith, succeeding A. B. Metz; Brunson. Harriett H Gooding, succeeding D. F. Moore; Ehrhardt. James u. Enrnarat, succeeding J. E. Ehrhardt; Govan, John F. Lancaster, succeeding 13. P. Hartzog: Kline, James A. Jenkins, succeeding J. L.
