The United States Woolen Mills,
of Columbia, will within the next
few days open a branch store in
Bamberg. The branch will be located

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.

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.

.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.

a most important one, to
farmers this year, and much unless
is felt because of the continrains.
It is stated that the oat
was cut short to a large degree by
drought that prevailed for sevweeks,
but even with that there
a fairly good crop made. It is
srally reported that the wheat
was not damaged as much by
drought as the oat crop. The
