Weekly Weather Forecast.
Issued by the United States weather
bureau at Washington, for the
week beginning Wednesday, May 19.
i ftis
For the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States:
Fair Wednesday, followed by
showers Thursday and Friday in East
Gulf States and probably from Friday
to Sunday in the South Atlantic
^ States, followed by generally fair
f _ weather thereafter. Moderate temperatures.
The commencement exercises of
the graded school will begin the lat- :
ter part of this week, and the closing
exercises of Carlisle will begin
" next week. Both schools are closing
very successful terms, and have cause
to feel very proud of the accomplishments
of the closing school year.
Two new newspapers are among
our exchanges, the Aiken Standard
and the Johnston Times. The Standard
is edited by Mr. Walter E. Duncan,
who has had considerable experience
in both daily and weekly
/ journalism. The Times is edited by
?-lin also
.Mr. J. nuueuge ~
edits a newspaper at Batesburg.
The Herald has been quite lenient
with its readers since the war started, j
We realized that the farmers were
endeavoring to hold their cotton in
order to secure a fair price for it.
Most of them have sold their staple
now, and secured a good price for it
considering all conditions and circum^
stances. Conditions in general have
greatly improved, and we should like
to ask our friends not to forget us. A
^renewal from each of our friends
whose subscriptions has expired
would make us forget there was ever
a war in Europe.
In looking over the local page of
one of our most valued contender's
aries, it made us qjiite sad to count
something over a hundred lines of
reading matter that was pure advertising,
presumably given away, inasmuch
as it was not marked advertis
' J/v
ing. Nearly every ween wneu uecline
to print advertising matter as
news in our columns, we are told
that such and such a newspaper gladly
accommodates them. In our opinion
it not only lowers the standard
of a newspaper to scatter free advertising
through its news columns,
but lowers the advertising value of
the newspaper. We know of only a
few good papers that persist in the
practice, and we hope that they will
soon see the light.

What Orangeburg Is Doing.
Just how the Orangeburg Young
Men's Bible Class is waging its con
test against isaiuuerg ior attendance:
during .May, may be seen by the following
clippings from Orangeburg)
newspapers of last week:
Young .Men's Bible Class.
The Young .Men's Bible Class of
St. Paul's .Methodist church recently
entered a contest with the Business
.Men's Bible class of Bamberg. At
the beginning of the contest we had
a membership of thirty-eight. Now j
we have a membership of eighty-1
eight. Last Sunday we had seventyfive
present, this Sunday we are en-!
deavoring to make it one hundred, j
We feel justly proud of the progress i
this class is making. We feel sure!
that such a body of men gathered ;
together Sunday after Sunday to |
study the word of God will mean the!
moral uplift of the people of Orange-1
burg and will awaken the people to!
the fact that such a class will mean I
one of Orangeburg's largest and j
greatest assets. We specially invite!
all young men to join with us on
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.?

Bible Class in Contest.
Just at this time there is a most i
lively contest being conducted in j
which the Young People's Bible Class;
of the Bamberg .Methodist church and j
the Young People's Bible Class of;
St. Paul's .Methodist church, of this;
city are in hot competition.
A formal challenge was issued;
some weeks ago for a contest in at- i j
tendance for the month of May.
Since the challenge was issued and;
accepted the members of these two j
classes have been very enthusiastic
and have been working hard for large
attendances each Sunday.
In this city the class has been divided
into two contending forces.
Each Sunday there is a lively competition
between the two sections of the
class to see which can have out the
largest number. They are known as
the Red and the Blue section, and a
number of new members have been;
added^to the class in this way. The
interest is growing and it is expected
that by the end of the month the
enrollment of the class will reach a
record.
In Bamberg there is also reported
to be a most lively interest manifested.
The members there are resorting
to many' unique plans to bring
about attendance. The work of the
class is also being extended in order
to hold the interest of the members
after they have once been secured.
In this way it is expected to continue
the good work which has been started
and to continue holding the interest
and securing the cooperation
of a larger number of young people
in church work.
The final outcome of the contest
during this month is awaited with
interest.?Orangeburg Evening Sun.

perior, numerically, to Johnston's,
but seemed to realize that he fronted
his former able competitor whose removal
from command of the army of
' >? waot noor Atlanta hv President
Davis had been hailed with delight
by Sherman, and his assaults on our
lines were steady, gallant and repeated.
but not fierce and reckless. We
repulsed assault after assault until
the enemy fell back in the dusk of
the evening, leaving many dead and
wounded in our front.
My regiment was hotly engaged and
suffered quite severely. Some of the
wounded we brought in and sent to
the rear with our own wounded. We
were gratified by results, but weary
when night came on, and as soon as
our line of skirmishers and pickets
had been placed in front .Major Hazzard?grown
from a young lieutenant
to captain, then to major?then
in command of the regiment, and I
prepared for rest at the root of quite
a large pine tree, its thick-ieavet
branching boughs affording us sonii
shelter from tlie cold drizzle of rail
falling. Our preparation was Haz
zard's thin rubber blanket on tin
damp earth, we on that and my thii
rubber blanket on us for coverlet
The enemy was still giving us sho
and shell from his artillery at a dis
tance in the darkness. As soon as H
and I had nestled closely together 01
and under our narrow blankets Haz
zard said:
"Don't you reckon we'll have th<
dickens to pay here in the morning?"
( Dickens" was about as vile a wort
as Hazzard ever uttered.) "No,"
said, "only in the way of getting uj
and skedaddling to right or left t<
meet Sherman's flank movement."
"I wouldn't be surprised," he said
after a moment's silence, "if you an
right, but I wish that battery in ou
front would stop shooting those ball
and shells over us and let us rest ii
peace." "No danger." I said, "the:
haven't got our range and their mis
siles go from 1") to 2<> feet above u
and that is evidence that the batter
ies firing on us this evening havi
been withdrawn and Sherman is mov
ing. The constant, random shootin;
is simply to deceive us into the be
lief that -lie is there for all night an<
ready for attack in the morning."
"Right." said Hazzard. and the nex
moment I realized he was sleeping.
I did not fall suddenly to sleep,
thought of the morrow, Hazzar<
an 1 I had spent many hours togethe
pleasantly. Perhaps this was ou
last night on earth alive. The mor
row would bring desperate strife fo:
us somewhere. Hazzard was gallant
reckless in action. Tomorrow nigh
might find one or both on the fielc
pale and cold as some of those brav<
fellows who had charged so gallant
ly now flying in front of where w<
had fought. 1 wondered if Hazzarc
was dreaming of the girl whose fail
hands had fashioned so neatly th<
beautiful little pocket case of crim
son and purple velvet containing ?
few needles, a few buttons, somt
thread, a small paper of pins and i
pair of -slender, silverrplated scis
sors?a little present both beautifu
and useful?in camp. He had no
been the happy possessor of the tast:
little article fifteen minutes before
was admiring it while Hazzard reat
again, his face suffused with blushe:
