The Herald force will observe
Christmas day, which is the only
week-day in the year that the office |(
is closed.
The Bamberg cotton mill will close j
Wednesday night and remain closed ,
until Monday morning, allowing the <
employees three holidays. t
7:30 p. m., Friday evening next (
there will be a "Christmas Sunday- j
school" at Trinity Methodist church. ]
The public is cordially invited. \
The Herald will be glad to accept 1
ac navment of subscriptions, chick- *
ens, eggs, sweet potatoes, or in fact 1
anything else that one can eat, at e
market prices.
i
There are but two days before f
Christmas. These will be the mer- x
chants' busiest days, and the people c
6hould not wait until the last hour t
Thursday to do their Christmas shop- ^
Ping.
The graded school closed Friday
for the Christmas holidays, and the
teachers have gone to their respective
homes to spend the vacation.
The school will resume on Monday,
January 4th. * }
The prospects Tuesday were that f
we would have clear weather Christ- I
mas day, although the weather is so c
changeable these days, the weather (
man may be all wropg, as he fre- (
quently is. t
Carlisle school closed for the f
Christmas holidays on Saturday af- 1
ternoon. and the holidays .will last <
until the first Tuesday in January, i
The students left for their homes S
Saturday and Sunday to spend Christ- 1
mas.
The per capita amount spent in 1
Bamberg county for education is ?
$21.07 for white children and $1.11 5
for negro children, according to a 1
report just issued. This ranks well (
with the average in other1 counties 1
of the State. ? 1
It is said that the carnival that 3
mustered up enough nerve to travel
around this fall, showing here last
week, all but "went busted." Some
of the party did not have enough
money to pay their board bills, and
none of the so-called shows did any
business to speak of.
Although there are not any elabor- .
ate displays of Christmas or holiday i
goods in Bamberg, shoppers will findj
the stocks here compare most favor-j
ably with those to be found in the1 c
cities. In fact, in some respects, the
stores here have better stocks of ,
goods than can be found in some of
the larger establishments.
Congressman James F. Byrnes has
had forwarded to The Herald a quan- ^
tity of the soil survey bulletins of
Bamberg county. All parties who
desire a copy of this valuable bulle- 1
tin may secure the same by calling
or sending 10 uns unite. 1 ue uui- letins
are free for the asking. Attached
to the bulletin is a large map
of Bamberg county, which is worth
^ keeping. j
Dr. B. F. Morey, who has been a ,
veterinarian located at Mr. G. Frank ^
Bamberg^ stables for some months, j
left Sunday for his home in Clinton, t
Ind. Dr. Morey is an expert veteri- t
narian and the people of the city and y
county have considered themselves (
fortunate that a veterinarian of his |
ability should be in Bamberg. He is (
an affable and pleasant gentleman, y
made scores of friends throughout ?
the county, and is an acquisition to j
any community. ' i
Box rent cards are now being put t
in boxes for the next quarter's rent. ]
It will be noted that all box rents j
have, been advanced, on instructions <
from the postoffice department. The (
postmaster has no control over this
matter, the box rents advancing when
tho nnetnffioo advanced one class. The
rent must be paid by the night of
the 31st, or the box will be closed. J
Patrons are reminded of this fact, so '
they will not blame the postoffice if '
the boxes are closed because of non- '
payment of box rent.

Carnival Man Commits Suicide.
One of the carnival men, known
:o his associates as "Whitey," committed
suicide Saturday night late by
irinking a quantity of carbolic acid.
Dr. Stuckey was summoned to give
medical attention to the man immeJiately
after it was discovered that
ie had taken the poison, but nothing
ould be done to save his life, and he
lied a half hour alterward. At the
arniva grounds last week "Whitey"
operated a concession at which people
took chances on toy dogs. His
vile also ran a concession on the
rrounds. It is said that domestic
rouble caused the man to become
lespondent. and it is said that he had
previously made an attempt to enn
lis life. It seems that tire man was
vithout friends even among the carlival
crowd, as his body was turned
iver to the town for burial. The
jody wfis buried in the potter's field
it the cemetery Sunday afternoon,
'oliceman Jennings and two colored
nen burying the remains. It was
ound that both he and his wife
vere without funds, and a small sum
>f money was made up for the w nan
o get out of the town on, she going
vith the carnival to Brunswick, Ga.

Almost Lost His Balloon.
Saturday afternoon, when the baloon
man at the carnival, made his
i?ual ascent, the "thing" refused to
vo: I:, but the balloonist succeeded
n bringing "himself and the balloon
o the ground long enough for him
o extricate himself on the ground.
.Yhile lie was detaching his para;hute,
the balloon made a successful
jetawav. The sand bag respectfully
leclined to overturn the gas bag,
vith the result that the "whole
;hooting match" immediately took
light in the direction of Ehrhardt.
iVhen everyone had given up hopes
hat it would descend anywhere near
3amberg, the unexpected happened,
ind the bag fell right where it left,
lescending from an entirely different
direction.

U. D. C., held its regular monthly
meeting on Dec. 15th with Mrs.

Christmas seals were on sale at this

Prohibition Sentiment.
"I found a stronger sentiment for:
prohibition in Bamberg county than!
I had been led to expect," said J.- K. j
Breeden, secretary of the new State-'
wide prohibition movement, yester-j
day/ afternoon. "As has been said j
before," continued ^Ir. Breeden, "bus-;
iness men are aligning themselves'
with this movement who have never
supported prohibition before. Merchants
are not taking kindly to the
condition, so common now, of liquor j
sales exceeding sales of merchandise.:
"We had a prohibition uniqn ser-i
vice in the Baptist church at Den-!
mark Sunday night. Among the1
speakers were T. U. Cox, a highly' es- j
teemed business man of Denmark,
and S. G. Mayfield, a distinguish-!
ed lawyer of Bamberg, who is also a;
man of affairs and a big planter." In j
his. address .Mr. Mayfield discussed
"? -? ??;
LH0 quesuun ui tinuiuug a. pivmw?-i
tion law and showed how it could be!
easily enforced. Mr. Mayfield told,
the audience that he had thought at
first that this was an inauspicious
time for the movement, but that after
discussing this question with
prominent business men of Bamberg
he had revised his opinion and
thought this the right time.
"Of especial interest to me, the
audience was prepared for it from
similar experiences?was a statement
made by the speaker showing the relative
sales of liquor and merchandise
in Denmark Saturday. Five of the
largest stores of Denmark together,
with total stocks of $40,000, sold
$195 in cash, wllereas the dispensary
alone sold $240. That sort of thing
has brought the liquor question home
to those merchants, you may be sure.
But I was told about the same thing
at BranchviHe this morning, though
that was just an estimate, I believe.
"That prohibition is our big ques-j
tion today is proved by comments!
overheard on the trains. Our forces j
are being moholized everywhere. I
have -already received, without solicitation.
assurances of support from
several members of the general assembly."?The

MANNING AND RACING.

When Richard I. Manning becomi

immediately place a ban on racir
in Charleston if racing be in pro
ress, as it is now planned by tu
magnates. The Sumter man pra

en route to Clemson college, whe:
he is attending a meeting of tl
trustees of that institution toda
Mr. King was returning from a hun

Mr. Manning broached the 6U

happened to him on a trip the otb
day. He said he was sitting in
car across the aisle from a ra<
track follower and a friend of hi
that the two were talking about tl
prospects for a racing meet in Cha
leston this winter. The turf ma
nate is quoted as having said th;
there would be racing ih Charlestc
next January and February regar
less of the incoming governor.
"We fixed it up with Blease a
right and can do the same with Ma:
ning," is the way the South Carolii
