Another attempt is being made to restore the flow of water at the Carlisle) school artesian well, at the cor ner of Carlisle and Elm streets. Mr. R. W. D. Rowell was operated on last week at a hospital in Augusta. His friends will be glad to know that he is now rapidly improving and is expected to return home in a few days. The last prohibition meeting of the county campaign was held at the court house on Thursday. The meeting was attended by a fairly good crowd. Addresses were made by Judge R. 0. Purdy and others. After being suspended for several weeks, work was resumed Monday morning on the Rizer gymnasium, being erected on the campus of the Carlisle school. It is stated that the work will now be pushed to a rapid completion. cv\ A few days ago Mr. Ben Pearson narrowly escaped Serious injury when his hand was caught in the gin saws at the Farmers Gin com- ' pany's ginnery. His hand was bad- 1 ly cut, but otherwise Mr. Pearson 1 "escaped injury. Up to the first of September there had been only 148 bales of cotton ' ginned in this county. On the same , , date last year there had been 1,165 bales ginned. This indicates the large decrease in cotton production j in the county this season. , The Fairfax correspondent of the { State mentions "one of the loveliest receptions ever held in Fairfax" being given by Mrs. J. Fred Lightsey l , complimentary to Miss Epting and the new lady members of the teaching force.?Newberry Observer. < i On Friday more than two hun- * dred bales of cotton were weighed jj : ; ~ by the local cotton weigher. Mo6t ( of the cotton was sold to local buy- 1 ers, some of it being shipped to * other markets. The prevailing price , paid in Bamberg was 9 1-4 to 9 1-2 cents on Friday. * A Messrs. Leverett and McDuffie, of Augusta, have assumed control of the barber shop formerly operated by Mr. W. A. Lindsey, who had the f - shop under lease. Mr. Lindsey left Mbnday for Anderson, where he will *pend some time. His plans for the future are not stated. |||* * Supervisor McMillan has completed claying the / Cannon's Bridge road and repairing the road to Hunter's y V Chapel. There was some good work ( done on both roads, and they are now E in fine condition. The sandy places were clayed and the rough parts fill- t i"?* * ; * I ed in and smoothed over. ... < When your girl or boy leaves for i L . ^ college, don't forget to include a sub- j ,. scription to The Herald in his or her ^ equipment. The Herald is indeed like a "letter from home" to the col- i lege student who must spend nine l ? . .. . . ? j months of the year away from the ] v x home town and home folks. s Carlisle school will open for the i 1915-1916 session on next Wednes- ( day. Students are expected to ar- 1 rive during Tuesday and Wednesday. 1 The school opens with prospects for i the largest enrollment in the history i of the school, the probabilities being e , that the school will be filled to ca- t Pp 'x pacity. ^ Mr. Tom Berry, a white man, was 2 seriously cut here Saturday night by a negro, Ben Lincoln. The cause of * the cutting is unknown, but it seems * as if ^oth were drinking heavily. I( SSUlr-* ' c Lincoln was arrested shortly afterwards and lodged in the city jail.? ? Branchville cor.

""" The election on the question of k the continuance of the dispensarj system or the inauguration of Statewide prohibition passed off quietly in Bamberg county. There was no great deal of interest shown in the election, and the vote was light compared to the voting strength at primary elections. The full vote in the county could not be ascertained up to o intP imiir \-esterdav. but the indica tions are that the county went with the "drys" by a large majority. The g Bamberg central precinct voted for prohibition by 99 to 64, a little more than a two-thirds majority. No disturbances or unpleasantness has been reported from any box in the county. Up to vesterdav afternoon none of 1 the boxes had been brought in, and \ P the official results could not be as- i, certained. It was learned' that the \ Ehrhardt box gave 84 for prohibition and 50 against, and it was stated : that Denmark gave a large majority J against the dispensary. Cotton Worth 10 1-4. = \ Cotton sold in Bamberg yesterday j for the highest price paid since the price first declined at the beginning of the European war. The market ' opened at 10 1-16 to 10 1-4. Ten { and a quarter was freely paid for \ good cotton, the average price being \ about ten cents. A great deal of the staple is being sold, but very little money is as yet in circulation, as the first cotton is credited on accounts, generally. A well known cotton man _ was quoted a day or two ago as say- J ing that cotton would be bringing ? 12 1-2 cents inside of thirty days; mother national figure in the specu- lation markets predicts that there "" will be 15 cents cotton before the snd of the season. ,, < ^ .

Work has t] now been resumed and the class is t] going after new members with en- h thusiasm.
