Otherwise the day was not observed in Bamberg. Work is progressing on the Rizer gymnasium for Carlisle school. Work ' was begun on the brick work several days ago, and is being pushed rapidly. It is expected that the building will be completed witnin me dwi few weeks. The United States Woolen Mills, of Columbia, will within the next few days open a branch store in Bamberg. The branch will be located in one of the new stores in the rear of the Johnson hotel, which have been recently completed. Those of our friends who are due us on their subscriptions are urged to pay us an early call. It takes a lot of money to run a newspaper as we endeavor to run The Herald, and Vhile a $1.50 is a small amount, a number of 6uch sums count up rapidly. Last Thursday the srx-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Duensing, of Midway, died. The remains were buried at Midway on Friday, Mr. Albin Kirsch, of Bamberg, conducting the funeral services. Mr. and Mrs. Duensing have the sympathy of the community. Notwithstanding the cry of hard times during the past nine months, The Herald has enjoyed a spienaia advertising patronage this spring. A large increase in local patronage will be noticed. The merchants of the city are realizing that advertising in The Herald pays. The work of remodeling the Johnson hotel has been about completed. A considerable amount of work has been done on the building, which now presents a much improved appearance. Several store rooms also have been built on the hotel property, facing on Railroad avenue. Mr. J. H. Walker is preparing to inaugurate a jitney bus line in this county. Lines will be established between Denmark and Bamberg, Bamberg and Williston, Denmark and North and Denmark and Olar. Regular schedules have been arranged. and two trips a day will be made between several points, and one trip between the other points named. ifiTTivft np riTV rnrvni, Extension of City Waterworks is JHscussed by Members. ? At the regular monthly meeting of city council on Tuesday night, the matter of extending the city's waterworks system was discussed, and plans were informally formulated for laying before the taxpayers the matter of floating a bond issue for this purpose. It was pointed out that the present status of the city's water. works is unsatisfactory, and that provision must soon be made by council to provide the city with an adequate and plentiful supply of pure water. It was suggested at the meeting r , that the present water mains be extended through the main streets of the city, in easy access to houses in all parts of the town. This will necessitate the laying of perhaps a , 'mile or more of water mains, at an estimated cost of perhaps 50 cents per foot. It was further suggested that the water should be supplied from an eight-inch artesian well to be sunk in some desirable and convenient location of the city. The matter was referred to the city attorney, who is to investigate the legal aspects of the proposition. As soon as he completes his investigations, he- will report the matter to the mayor, and a call meeting of council will be held. At this meeting plans will be made for calling a mace mootinp' r>f <Mti7pn* tr> consider the matter of floating a bond issue for the purpose of extending the waterworks system. As this was a preliminery discussion of the waterworks extension matter, the approximate cost of the proposed improvements has not been ascertained, but full information will be obtained to present to the citizens' meeting. No other business of importance was transacted at the meeting Tuesday night. s CAKLISLK (*().M.MKXCKMEXT. Successful Session Ill-ought to a ( lose .Monday Night. The twenty-second annual commencement of the Carlisle school came to a close .Monday night with the awarding of diplomas to fourteen young people who had completed the course of study. This commence-j t ment has been one of the most nota-'j b!e and successful in the history of; the sc-hoot. On Sunday morning in the Trinity j .Methodist church Bishop .John C. j Kilgo. of the .Methodist Episcopal] Church, South, preached the com-: I mencement sermon. Bishop Kilgol was active in working tor the establishment of the school and one of the literary societies bears his name. He came back to the scene of the activities of his early days with the reputation of being one of America's foremost preachers. He lived up to his reputation on Sunday morning. His sermon, based upon Paul's attitude towards Athens, was a fearful arraignment of some modern practices and a strong plea for the divine attitude towards the world. The music rendered by the church choir added much to the pleasure and inspiration of the occasion. On Sunday evening the sermon before the Young People's Christian association was preached by Dr. E. i O. Watson, pastor of Trinity .Metho-| dist church. Dr. Watson, always j strong in his preaching, brought the J | young "people a peculiarly appropriate and helpful sermon on having and being faithful to a "heavenly vision." Hoard of Control Meeting. At a meeting of the board of control on .Monday afternoon many things looking towards the best interest of the school were discussed. It was decided that during the summer septic tanks and closets would be installed in the dormitories, and other improvements in the way of equipment ma'de. .Mr. Paul Whitaker. who for the past two years has been assistant, gymnasium instructor at Wofford college, an? who takes his A. B. degree at Wofford this year, was elected instructor for the C. F. Rizer gymnasium, now being erected. Mr. Whitaker will also have charge of some of the out-door athletics. Literary Address.
