( SHOUT LOCALS. c Brief Items of Interest Througliout jj the Town and County. n o The many friends in this county t of Miss Eda Belle Morris, of Davis- h boro. Ga., are very sorry to learn of h her illness and hope she will soon n he out again. | n The many friends of Mrs. I. f>. r Felder, who has been very ill for sev-1 u eral weeks at Commerce. Ga., will | oe delighted to know that her condi- s tion has greatly improved. b The thermometer in front of Hoffman's stoie Monday afternoon regis-j11 tered 103 degrees. The thermometer j ^ in The Herald's window registered jv 10o. even. This was the warmest day j ^ of the summer, so far. * * r Mr. Decania Dowling is erecting on his place near the city several brick farmhouses. This, we believe, is the , first time in this county that farm ^ houses were built of brick. Col J. ^ F. Folk has a number of concrete ' houses on his plantation. The r.unual reunion of Co. G, 1st p c r volunteers. will be held at Beth- {. esc!a church on July 29th. The pul>- j. lie. and especially all Confederate j( veterans, are cordially invited to be v present. A good programme has q been arranged. A picnic dinner will be served on the grounds. ^ Watermelons have not been a very 0 successful crop this year with the i average planter. The crop did not a turn out as well this year as usual, and the market has not been very a N good, except for the finest melons. a The freight rate on watermelons i3 t exceedingly high, averaging about i $85 per carload to New York, and, c of course a very high price is neces- e ^ sary to make the crop a paying one. i The average condition of cotton in this county appears to be far below the ordinary. Field after field maybe seen only a few inches in height. ?n some places, on the other hand, the staple is in splendid condition. Most of the farmers have cleaned their cotton fields of grass, but a ^ Rood deal or grass may yei De seen. The (rendition of, corn is more encouraging, though it appears to be suffering from the lack of rain. A Day Current Possibility. There is a disposition among the authorities to put on day electric current in Bamberg next summer, starting about April or May, with an idea of making the current a permanent fixture. Looking to this end, those interested in the matter will begin shortly an effort to build up a patron-' I age for day current, to insure expen-: ses for operating the plant. The people will be asked to cooperate with the commissioners, and a proposition will be put up to Bamberg in the near future. If the proper support is given, it is stated that the current wlil be given. This is something that a great many people have dream ed of for years, and it is to be hoped I that the movement will be met with 1 success. 1 ? ? Discuss Waterworks and Sewerage. The proposition to install a system of waterworks and sewerage in Bamberg is meeting with a great deal of enthusiasm, and is being talked and discussed with much zeal among the citizens. The proposition is to supply the town with a plentiful supply of pure water, and to put it in access of the entire town, and to supply sewerage connections in the same manner. There are many de- , tails of the matter that necessarily c take a great deal of time that have ' to be worked out, but we are assured by those who have the matter in hand that the town will undoubtedly secure these great improvements. Wej are assured that the system will be I . ? <?? ai'arir rocnopt nnH that! JLLIUUCiU iU ^ ? vwfvv?| { no citizen need fear that it will not j he thorough.

The Bamberg Cotton Mill6 comiany is now making the necessary ihanges in the machinery of the mills 'or the production of a different jrade of cotton goods. It has been 'ound that by changing the grade of he output, the capacity of producion can be greatly increased without naterial increase in cost of producion. Also the new product has been ound more marketable at this time. Some of the machinery has already ieen changed, and 6ome of the goods ire now being turned out. Although inly a small quantity of the new rrade of goods has been manufactured up to this time, a ready market las been found, and the output for some time ahead has been contracted for. Meeting With Encouragment. Prof. J. C. Guilds, who is now spending most of nis time traveling in the interest of Carlisle School, stated to The Herald Tuesday that tie is meeting with much encouragement. He stated that the number of applications received up to this date is in excess of the number received to the same date last year, and considerably above the average. While he has been encountering the plea of hard times, Mr. Guilds does not believe that conditions will be as bad as last year, and that if the price of ^otton is anvthing like normal, the school will perhaps enjoy the best enrollment in its history: and that if cotton does not bring any more than last year, he believes conditions will be equally as good as last year, and perhaps better. Students entering the school this year will find a material improvement, in that a gymnasium will be in readiness for the opening of the school. Read The Herald, $1.50 per year. V. I>- C.

'1 Governor Hold Oliveros Legally But > Not Morally Entitled to Office. i J Columbia, iluly 20.?"As I cannot * t proceed without legal grounds, I can- f \ t not take any action unless further e ateps are taken," is the dictum det livered by Governor Manning in -the case of L. M. C. Oliveros, master of j 3 Aiken county, which has created 4 t much attention. 1 j g It appears that the late Capt. W. e M. Jordan, who was master of Aiken J g county, died before his term of office ] expired in June, 1913. Former Gov- V . h t ernor Blease appointed L. M. C. Oli- ^8 veros to the office and an effort was jj t made to have T. G. Croft, then sena- ' 8 > tor from Aiken county, confirm Mr. e Oliveros for .Master. This Mr. Croft/'- . ,'A >t agreed to do, after Mr. Oliveros, in J e the presence of the senator and D. S. 1 a Henderson, of Aiken, ? signed an e agreement to go in the next primary, ? and. if defeated, resign in favor of r the successful contestant, according r to a letter from Mr. Croft. Mr. OH- -j veros was nominated, the State seni. ate confirmed the appointment and " I r he was commissioned on January 10, ' e 1912. In the primary election J. E- .. j e Murray, of Aiken, was nominated for t ? j. master, and Mr. Oliveros refused to relinquish his office, claiming that /' p his appointment held until January s 10, 1916. J In his statement today Governor i if Manning said: \ i- "Mr. L. M. C. Oliveros in response r to a letter from me called at my office , } h this morning and discussed with me the circumstances of the present ino cumbency of the office of master of y j j, Aiken county. I told him that 1 h stated in my campaign speech that I u would appoint nominees of the prin mary. I have read the agreement be- ' is tween Mr. Oliveros and Mr. T.

Mr. Oliveros also * exhibited to me his announcement of his candidacy /or master, published it in four papers in Aiken county, dur3 ing the campaign, in which he ana nounced his candidacy, 'provided that , i> j. I have not already the right to hold k this office under the recent appoint- " j n ment of the governor and conflrma- . j d tion of the senate, for a period of ' v j n four years, as the present law proa vides.' I have also examined into ly s- the statute on the term of master. j. In view of Mr. Oliveros having the ^ i e agreement with Senator Croft, I hold r - * i. that Mr. Oliveros is morally nof en-' ! d titled to the office, but that legally ! e he i?, and that as f cannot proceed ,-fa t- without legal grounds, I cannot take any action unless further steps are V I- taken." 1- ? NEGRO KILLS WHITE BOY . f j e Tragedy Causes Considerable Excitement at Union. " j Union, July 14.?:Haskell Martin, a \>f lt young white man about 17 years 0 of age, was stabbed in the heart here 14 this afternoon by Allan Johnson, a colored man, living only thirty minutes after being injured. s The negro was arrested by Policemftn Eller as he was trying to make v '.-fl u his escape, and was landed in jail. ^ ^ The negro was a sweeper in the Union mill. While out pitching ball 'r near the mill a bobbin was thrown . out of the mill window and struck i . e the negro. It is claimed he accus- ; e ed the young white boy of having t_ ? :S done this and, becoming very angry, ( j| D drew his knife and stabbed him to ;v e the heart. The boy's father, who is Ervin Martin, of Lockhart Shoals, J was wired for. > . Considerable excitement has devellt oped over the killing and Chief of 4 "" Police Evans, to safeguard the nea gro, took him in charge and carried * ? him away for safe-keeping. ~J y ? , g Syd Jones,, hanged in the county ' it jail yard at Birmingham, Ala., left >t a note in his cell in which he conit fessed responsibility for thirteen s murders.
