The Apollo Music club gave a very I 1
enjoyable musical at the Carlisle an-;4
ditorium on Tuesday evening.
The Denmark Oil and Fertilizer
company dosed its oil mill 011 last t
i S
Saturday, after a very satisfactoryseason's
run.
c
The Bamberg fire department will -i
receive from the one mill insurance'j
tax the sum of $126.90. This is the j
tax for 1914. which is now being dis- t
tributed. jIn
the aggregate, thousands of g
miles of hauling have been saved to i
farmers along the line of the B., E. & i
W. railroad, who secured their fer- 3
tilizers over the new line instead of
hauling them from either Bamberg v
or Ehrhardt. }
Tuesday .Mr. G. Moye Dickinson I
sold 135 bales of cotton on the local 1
market to .Mr. G. P. Harmon, the
price paid being nine cents per 1
pound. The cotton was shipped to t
Charleston yesterday by Mr. Harmon, c
over the Bamberg, Ehrhardt ana *
Walterboro railroad. 1
While not officially observed in c
Bamberg, last week quite a number '
of persons in the city took occasion *
to clean up their premises. It is. 1
reported that throughout the State
there was much activity oward mak- 1
ing the State cleaner and more sani- f
tary.
Messrs R. E. Smith and J. G.
Black have opened a motion picture .
show in Denmark, in connection with
Mr. T. P. McCrae, under the name
of Diamond Theatre. The show is
operated at present three nights a
week. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday,
in the Bush building.
At a meeting Saturday last of Camp j
Jenkins, No. 627, U. C. V., the following
delegates were named: To j
the State reunion, Messrs A. R. <
Dempsey and R. C. Dempsey: to the ^
i Pn 1 ,
general reumuu m hh.uiuvUU, (
James R. Owens. Mrs. James R. ,
Owens was named as sponsor for the
camp.
The department of commerce announces
that on March 20. 29,4G6
bales of cotton had been ginned in ,
k V . |
Bamberg county, against 27.641 on
the same date last year. The total ,
for the State was 1,550,700 against ;
1,418,704 last year on the same date. '
The Barnwell figures are: 1914. 65,- ,
639. against 58.SS0 for 1913.
There are about 200 automobiles s
in the county, and at least half of j
them should be entered in the auto- (
mobile parade the last day of the {
Chautauqua festival. The ladies of
the civic league are working hard to j
make the parade a success, and the ,
owners of cars should assist them by ;
entering the parade with the expbcta- j
tion of carrying off first prize. j
The friends in Bamberg of Mr. and ]
Mrs. C. F. Gilchrist, of Florence, will
be interested to know that their resi
dence was struck by lightning a few
days ago. during a thunderstorm. No
one was hurt. They had been away c
and had just returned when a bolt
of lightning struck the house, setting e
it on fire. The fire was soon extinguished
with but little damage. c
An effort is being made to revive a
the artesian well in the rear of Dr. f
Black's store. This well afforded fine t
water several years ago. when the r
flow ceased. Recently a petition was ^
presented to council asking for a ^
well in the business part of town, e
and an attempt is now being made j
to again secure a flow from this well,
which is the property of the town.
The Herald Book Store now car-ries
a line of magazines. Magazines
are handled more as a convenience ?
to the people than for a money-mak- I
ing purpose, for there is no money t
in handling magazines in a small >
place. If any of our friends desire >
a magazine that we do not handle i
and will tell us, we shall be glad to ?
secure it regularly for them each ?
month. ?
It is very unpleasant for us to call '
attention of our subscribers to their '
failure to renew when the time expires,
and we wish everyone would
pay promptly so that it would not be
necessary for us to mention it. But 1
the fact is we have many whose subscriptions
are past due. Cotton is
now worth nine cents, and the news- 1
paper man needs the money. We 1
hope everybody can see the moral. ^
Cotton is now bringing nine ctents j
and upward on the local market.
This is the best price cotton has
brought since the European war be
gan, and is doubtless higher than the
staple would have brought had there ]
been no war. It is Very doubtful if ]
the price will remain at nine cents
very long, as it is generally considered
merely a spout in the price and
only temporary, as the last crop
amounted to sixteen million bales, i
and it is estimated that at least five i
to six million bales will be carried t
over this year. i
