A very enjoyable fish fry was given | on .Monday evening at the Edisto river. Tuesday afternoon the Bambergj baseball team played the cotton mill j team. The former won by a score of j 7 to 2. There will be a music recital at , the graded school Friday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The public is cordial- , ly invited. i I tis stated that express service on the B.. E. & \V. will be started now I soon. At present express is brought over the Coast Line only as far as < Ehrhardt. Mr. and .Mrs. W. P. Sandifer, who! 'have been occupying the residence 1 recently purchased by Sheriff Ray. have moved into the old dormitory of the Carlisle school. t The catalogue of the Carlisle school ~ Is being put on the press by the job department of The Herald. The catalogue this year will be especially attractive in design, and quite different from former catalogues. i Work is expected to be commenced shortly on the construction of a telegraph line for the B.. E. & W. between Bamberg and Ehrhardt, to connect with the lines on the Walterboro branch of the Coast Line. The good old summer time arriv- ; ~ * * " p - "'aaI' Tlio mor.l ed in run ion:*? nuo cury went up rapidly, and although the real "almanac" summer will not be with us for some weeks yet, it feels very much like mid-summer. Dirt has been broken for the erec. tion of the Rizzer gymnasium at the Carlisle school. Part of the brick has been received, and it is expected that the work of construction will be begun within the next few days. The gymnasium will be erected between the Guilds hall and the main building of the school. The gymnasium will be completed by the beginning of the next term, which commences in September. No information has been secured as to the identity of the unknown white man who died here last Wednesday. The body was buried in the cemetery here by the county authorities. Just before he died, the man told those about him that he was from 6ome mill in Augusta; that he ?? r*t wrtrir and was trvine to c woo UUV VI ?V4 ?, ? ... w c get to Sumter, where he had rela- ^ tives. He tried to give his name, but t only his first name, "Harry," could } be understood, the man being too s weak to talk audibly. i Another Preliminery Held. Tuesday another prelimiuery in the a matter of the killing of Laurie Reed, 1: a negro, about the middle of last a February, was held at Denmark. It a will be remembered that the body of c Reed was found near the roadside in c this county, having been killed some d time previous. The inquest was held, 1 but little came out to indicate the s perpetrators of the homicide. Sub- c sequently four young white men were I implicated, but they were discharg- ? ed at a preliminery held at the time. I The matter was reported to Governor c Manning, who was not satisfied with the matter being dropped. The governor afterward-sent a special agent to the county to investigate the killing. As a result of the agent's inV vestigations, another preliminery was ^ held at Denmark Tuesday, the young ^ men being again implicated. Solicj- ^ tor Gunter was notified by the governor, and asked to be present at the hearing. The solicitor was in the city Tuesday afternoon and 6tated that practically nothing new was c brought out at the hearing, and he ^ did not consider the testimony sufc ficient to hold the young men. ^ It seems that about the only clue } that might lead to anything definite as to the person who killed the negro ^ was a hat found near the body. This hat has never been identified, it is ^ stated, although it has been ascer- , tained by the solicitor that the hat c was practically a new one at the time j it xc-ac fonnr? and that it was sold bv , 1 Mr. C. F. Rizer, of Olar, a clerk in ^ Mr. Rizer's store having identified r the cost mark in the hat as being the| trade mark of that store. However, r he did not know to whom it was sold, j Death of Mr. H. R. Hunter. 1 I Mr. H. R. Hunter died at his home ? in Charleston Tuesday. The remains c were brought to Bamberg this (Wed- t nesday) evening, and interment will c take place in Bamberg Thursday at a 10 o'clock. Mr. Hunter has been a S resident of Charleston for about 20 I years. He is survived by three \ brothers, Messrs. J. B. Hunter. D. 0. Hunter, and A. J. Hunter; and one > sister, Mrs. J. G. Rentz. 1 Every time a man makes a fool of * himself by acting contrary to his own judgment he gets made. I CO.MMKAt KMK.XT KXKIK 1SKS. ('ai li?le School Comes to Clo>e |?i> of .Month.

Chief Clerk Investigates Looking to Putting on Service. Mr. J. A. Metts, of Charleston, chief clerk of the railway mail service of the government, visited Bam' berg last Friday, looking into the 1 matter of inaugurating mail service on the Walterboro Drancn or ine ai( lantic Coast Line railway. The "Walterboro branch" incorporates what is locally known as the B., E. & W. At present the only means of getting ' mail to and from Ehrhardt is via " Charleston. Mr. Metts conferred with the postmaster. who went over the situation ' with him and gave him the required; ' information. The matter will now j be referred to the department, and 1 there is but little doubt about the j service being inaugurated as soon as \ ' action can be taken by the Washington authorities. Mail service between Bamberg and ' Ehrhardt will provide a great convenience to the people of both sec-j * tions. and it is hoped that there will be no delay in getting" the service; started.

Of course, th - News and Courier expects to receiv more samples (a san;ple is not les li than a crate) before the seasoi closes, but the "grass" that beats th - "Brooker" will have to be "som grass." 5 The News and Courier is not ye prepared to announ^ a decision re garding strawberries, as the storm in the eastern part of the State hav 5 evidently delayed some of the sam pies expected from that quarter.?
