Mr. Paul Whitaker, on his rounds, stopped over in Newberry to spend a few days here this week.

Capt. W. W. Taylor has resigned Srom the local board of health, and v the city council has appointed Dr. Vance W. Brabham to fill his term.

Any person who may desire to nnite with us will be heartily wel- ] corned.- Visitors, there is a warm ] welcome awaiting you! J We want to do the best year's work ever this year. This is possible * if we will work, pray, cooperate? ^ "V ' 1 yea, if we will unstintedly consecrate ourselves to Christ, who com- * missioned you and I to be missionaries. ' * Again, wo ask that each officer and j oach member be in her place with s "'a mind to work." The fall season ] r* is on; let us tafce a fresh grip on life and its service to our fellowman. Out of gratitude to God for his lovegift to the world, let us bring our- . selves and place our lives on the altar of service. RECORDING SECRETARY. 1 t J Miss Kearse Entertains. * s Last Saturday evening Miss Claire ( Kearse entertained a few of her r friends. Those present were: Misses ? Mamie, Evelyn and Bessie Kirk- g land, Laura and Mamie McMillan and f Reba Williams; Messrs. Frankie and t Claude Kirkland, Grady and Elgin t McMillan and Copeland Zeigler. A The games for the evening were v progressive rook and "Consequence," i: the latter being lively and witty, was a fully enjoyed by all. v Miss Kearse attended Winthrop n college last year and expects to re- b turn again this fall. We all wish c her a most successful school term, t: All present went away voting a pleasant evening indeed "KUTIE." ' / * w* - . # * Manning Forces Organized. The handsome vote given Richard [. Manning Tuesday was the result of 1 thoroughly organized effort through- < 3ut this county. Mr. C. F. Rizer was the Manning organizer for Bamberg i county. Last Wednesday Mr. Rizer got busy and held a conference with < Dther Manning leaders in the county. A.s a result of this conference, a meeting was held Wednnesday night, at which was present representative ] citizens from Olar, Denmark, Ehrhardt and Bamberg. A central com- i mittee, composed of Messrs.. E. C. Bruce, of Bamberg; W. B. Chitty, of 1 Olar; M. K. Zorn, of Denmark, and Dr. J. H. KoDerts, or j&nriia.rui, wa,=> elected. As sub-committees under the central committee, workers were appointed for each voting precinct in this county. The duty of these subcommittees was to see that every possible Manning supporter was brought to the polls to vote. The efficient work of these gentlemen is evidenced < by the magnificent vote Bamberg county^ave to the governor. While it was necessary in many counties to raise funds by popular subscription to pay the necessary expenses of the Manning campaign for the second primary, this was not needed in Bamberg county. The various committees were offered the use of as many automobiles by patriotic citizens as were necessary to carry out the plan of campaigning. The Denmark committee volunteered to take care of Lees and Hightower's Mill, in addition to the home box; the Olar committee looked after Colston and Govan; Ehrhardt attended to Kearse and Clear Pond, while * the Bamberg local committee provided helpers for Midway, Farrells, and Hunter's Chapel. Excellent local committees were secured for every box in the county, men who had only the interest of the State at 1__J TT.i+V, neart, wno worKeu inccMauuj wuuout pay or compensation in any way, other than the hopes and purposes of continuing for the grand old Palmetto State good government and a regime pledged to the enforcement of all laws equally in every part of the State. The various gentlemen?and they are too numerous to mention?who helped to roll up such a large vote for Governor Manning are due the thanks of the people of the county and State generally. Home Demonstration Notes. The first contribution to the prize fund for club girls was sent by the Bamberg Banking company the second by the Citizens Exchange Bank, of Denmark. The Home Demonstration club girls will have an exhibit in Bamberg immediately after the State fair. This will consist of canned products, preserves, jellies and breads. The women will exhibit also the prizes to be blue ribbons. The girls' prizes will be announced later. The Home Demonstration club of Kearse met on Friday, September 5th, Mrs. H. M. Brabham presiding, < ind Miss Cressie Breeland secretary. Phe lesson for the months, on textiles 1 md clothing, was read, also a bul- ' etin on fall and winter gardens. A general discussion of bread-making, i reasts and the different kinds of lour followed, and many helpful sug- 1 ?estions were given. New members vere enrolled, and the line of work 1 or another year was discussed. Mrs. 1 ?aust demonstrated a home-made ireless cooker. The Biggest Bale Yet. ] Bamberg county seems to be fa- J mous for big bales of cotton. We have reported several very large bales, but Mr. L. P. McMillan (who, by the way, was not talking for publication) :old us about the biggest one yet. ! His bale weighed 734 pounds, Drought 15 5-8 cents a pound, net:ing Mr. McMillan exactly $114.68. rhe Herald will be glad to hear of my other large bales in the county, . tor it certainly gives us pleasure to jay that a bale of cotton sold for a J lundred dollars or more. < Graded School Opens. * ] The Bamberg graded school began ts 1916-1917 session on Monday norning, with a very satisfactory enollment. Appropriate exercises for he beginning of the session were teld and very interesting and intructive talks were made by Drs. E. ). Watson and J. B. Black, and the >upils were classified. No lesson rork was attempted for the day. The ;raded school has opened under most avorable auspices, and it is believed hat the session will be one of the >est the school has enjoyed. Prof, dlen and his able corps of assistants ^ere all in their places Monday mornng, and the students and teachers re now hard down to regular school rork. During the summer some auch needed improvements have 'een made to the school building, inluding the installation of septic g anks and a sewerage system. ? p Read the Herald, $1.50 per year, q * ' Annual Meeting of YV.

Cradle-Roll Reception. Delightfully informal was the par ty given oy Mrs. vv. u. Knoaa on Thursday afternoon complimentary to the members of the cradle roll of Trinity Methodist church. Chairs were arranged in the yard for the comfort of the mothers, where for some time they enjoyed animated conversation; while the babies were entertained by little Misses Lena Rhoad, Jane and Elsie Rice, in a small bungalow, furnished nicely with tables, chairs, dolls and other things which go to make a "play bouse." During the afternoon delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by her sister, Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker. When a member of the cradle roll is three years old, he or she is promoted to the primary department of the Sunday-school. Mrs. Rhoad, who i j r. 4?.. 11.. i* ? ^ was servea lamuuiiy lur a iiuuiuei of years as superintendent of the cradle roll department, has, during that time, promoted many little ones, still her roll numbers thirty-five. She is ever on the alert for recruits. The oil is never on the decrease. The babies never fail to receive their birthday and Christmas cards. Evsry year since she has had this work in charge, a nice little sum has been sent to the Epworth orphanage :hrough this department. No other iepartment in the whole church is so full of possibilities. Mr. Talmage las truly said: "God has infinite resources, and He can give presents of peat value, but when He wants to ?ive the richest possible gift to a lousehold, He looks around all the vorlds and all the universe, and then ?ives a little child." The greatest ^resent God ever gave our world He ?ave hundreds of years ago. In all tges God has honored childhood. He nakes almost every picture a failure, : mless there be a child playing on he floor, or looking through the winlow, or seated on the lap gazing into he face of the mother. It was to he cradle in which a child was laid, ocked by the waters of the Nile, that | lod called the attention, of history, t was a child that Christ set in the j nidst of the squabling disciples to ( each humility. Now, mothers, our tabies are God's gifts to us. Let us ( tonor Him by training them for His ( ervice. Where is there a better lace to begin than the cradle?? ] lontributed. ] The North for Wilson. H. M. Graham, Esq., returned a day or two ago from Philadelphia, where he went on professional business. .Mr. Graham states that he found a strong sentiment in favor of Woodrow Wilson. The opinion seems to prevail, he stated, that although they are Republicans, it would not be safe to make a change at this time. Wilson, they feel, has handled the delicate problems that have confronted the nation during the past two years with wisdom and line norn'o/1 Hi /->nn n trv CQ fP1 V liao tui 1 l^U txiv WVt Alv.4 J through the crisis with Europe and Mexico, and that he is the man to continue to carry on the destinies of the United States. School Opening At Branchville. Branchville, Sept. 8.?The Branchville graded school will begin the fall term of the 1916-17 session on Monday, September 11. The opening is expected to be an auspicious one and a full enrollment is desired on the first day. There will be a short programme at the opening on Monday morning to which the patrons and friends of th'e school are invited. Robert, the 8 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Berry died Sunday morning about '3 o'clock. The little fellow had been ill for some time. The funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon. Carlisle Opens Wednesday.

The traveling representatives of the school have been much encouraged during the summer, and have every reason to hope for a record-breaking attendance the coming session. Facilities have been provided during the summer for a considerably larger number of pupils than usual. The H. J. Brabham hall has been remodeled and thoroughly renovated. The teachers and matrons are now making preparations for the beginning of the best session in, the history of the school next week. New Advertisements. H. M. Herndon?For Sale.

Annual Incomes of the Two Thousand Osage Indians. The Osage Indians are the richest people in the world, and soon they are going to be richer, writes Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's. Their wealth is registered at $20,000 per capita at the Indian office. Secretary Lane, of the interior department, recently gave his approval to new leases running for five years, whereby the Osage Indians rent their valuable oil lands in Oklahoma to some of the big oil nnmnaniec Thic will increase the average annual income of the two thousand Osage Indians from $600 :o $1,000 per annum. The leases will cover about 680,000 acres. It is estimated that the annual income of the Osage tribe under the new leases will aggregate at least $2,500,000, in addition to the $3,233,000 received in cash at recent sales, as against about $500,000 heretofore received annually under the old leases, which expired last March. IN THE PALMETTO STATE1 SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading.?Paragraphs About ' Men and Happenings. An unknown party stole a Ford automobile from George Grant in Spartanburg Monday. Claud Price, a white boy, 14 years imp An a nnnl U1U, ? CIO U1 U " UVU 1** ?Greenville Monday, while in swimming. Poindexter Page Carter, an artist of Columbia, was run over by an automobile and seriously injured in that city Friday. Over 2,000,000 pounds of tobacco have been sold in Timmonsville this season at an average price of 16 cents per pound. Rev. George P. White, pastor of the First Baptist church of Union, was married in that city last week to Mrs. Anna Clement McEachern. John Cleveland, a negro chauffeur, was killed near Greenville early Monday morning when a large automobile which he was driving, turned turtle. The new St. Paul's Methodist Sunday-school, of Orangeburg, was formally opened Sunday by Bishop James Atkins, of Waynesville, N. C. W. S. Moore stabbed C. H. Peenioc with an ir>A nir?k in Charleston Sunday. The two men fell out about politics. The wounded man will recover. The town of Johnston will soon hold an election on the question of whether or not $50,000 shall be expended for a water and sewerage system. John Madison DesChamps, a candidate for governor in the recent primary, announced that he has decided to join the Progressive party of South Carolina. Gov. Manning has appointed Rev. John McSween, Jr., pastor of the Presbyterian church of Dillon, chaplain of* the Second regiment, South Carolina National Guard. He will hold the rank of captain and will gc to Fort Bliss, Texas, to join his regiment at once. Alton Linder, a farmer who lived in the Cannon camp ground section of Spartanburg county, died at his home Saturday of "infantile paralysis." Mr. Linder was 34 years of age and is the oldest person known to have died of the disease in this State. He leaves a wife. The Holliday sale and feed stables in Dillon were destroyed by fire Saturday night. Several horses were burned to death and five automobiles housed in a garage adjoining the livery stable were also bruned. The total loss aggregates several thousand dollars, partly covered by insurance. AN APPRECIATION. E. H. Sothern's Tribute to Charles nnsl Ttan T?iv\Vi m a n aUU 1/iUl A' M. V1A1U?UA? "Why fear death? Death is only a beautiful adventure." Thus spoke Charles Frohman as he stood with three other passengers, his arms locked in theirs, upon the slanting deck of the Lusitania as she sank off the coast of Ireland, says Mr. Sothern, in the September Scribner's. At 2:30 p. m. on May 7, 1915, the vessel was torpedoed by a German submarine. Mr. Frohman could have had no hope of escape. He was probably wounded by the explosion, and one of his legs was permanently disabled from illness. He could not walk without the help of a cane. At such a crisis a man's soul speaks and Charles Frohman's words illuminate his life and shed a radiance upon his death. God grant we may greet the inevitable hour in An U a nViall p+rilra f Ar dUUll W IOC W 1X^11 lie OllCLll Otliivu 1UA us! A man who can speak thus at such a moment can need no other epitaph. When Charles and Daniel Frohman entered upon their careers as managers the business of the theatre was frequently conducted on a haphazard plan. If a venture succeeded all went well. In the event of failure the actors very often suffered loss. Any irresponsible person could take out a play and obtain time in various theatres. I have myself been a victim of such adventures. Owing greatly to the Frohman faculty for organization and fair dealing, theatrical affairs were soon conducted on a sounder basis. The I Frohman word was as good as a bond to any man. This was Charles Frohman's especial pride. Xot Trained. "Is dem you-all's chickens?" "Co'se dey's mah chickens. Whose do you s'pose dey is?"

IS INDEED "CAR COMPLETE." Roadside Motor Camp is Queerly Constructed and Equipped. If you see what might be a land going submarine or an amphibious shark, do not be startled. It probably is merely the "Car Complete and Roadside Camp" out for a trial before it starts tomorrow for the Pacific coast. The hybrid automobile has a regulation Stutz chassis which carries a [ body built as nearly as possible like that of a motor boat, fitted with more than a hundred devices to make it the most completely equipped automobile that ever started across the continent. It carries a camping outfit for Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Law and vMr. and Mrs. W. S. Mais, who will ride in it. j Instead of a radiator, the car complete has eight port holes in its battleship gray hood. In place of small front lights there are red and green lanterns at port and starboard. A ship's bell makes it sound like an auxiliary fire truck. Wicker chairs, made originally for a motor boat, take the place of seats. ; And at the end of the long, slim body is a miniature propeller, merely decorative, and a flagstaff equipped with electric lights so that the flag is illuminated by night. Tents, cots. Dnenumatic mattress es, and all the other essentials of a 4 camping kit are packed on the run- / ning board. A bark, a bell and a / whistle are the methods by which the" car complete will clear the road. It has no ordinary wind shield, but a round pane of glass, like an immense goggle. When the car com! plete makes a sudden stop a lever is . pressed and a red signal, like the . block arm on a railway system, swings out to warn machines following.?New York World.
