The Herald is now receiving con- n(

campaign fund. Below are the names h

j Bamberg county is not showing up
well in the campaign fund lists, and w
I we think the people of the city and a]
county should make liberal contributions.
The time is now shorthand
funds are sorely needed. Don't wait
until someone calls on you for a contribution,
send it to The Herald to- m
r day. We will acknowledge all con- cr
tributions through The Herald, and U1
forward the money to the proper ^

Negroes Buy Automobiles.
This is dictinctly a year of proserity
for the small farmer. Especally
are the colored people prosperus.
The one and two-horse colored
armers all have pretty stiff bank acounts
now. One result that has
ome from the negro's prosperity is
he buying of automobiles. Never
efore in the history of man has so
aany automobiles been sold to neroes.
It has been said that a negro
rill not keep money, and it certainy
seems that this is true of a large
umber of them. Having several
ales of cotton left after paying their |
ill obligations, any number of them
ave poured a large part of their
rofits into gas buggies. Never be3re
has there been such a demand
or second hand cars. What has
eretoforo been the deadest stock the
utomobile dealers have had to con2nd
with was the old fcars they had
5 take in exchange for new ones,
fo longer is this true. The colored
lan with the bank account is wait1
g for every car the dealers can lay
tieir hands on.
And the colored people are not all
[mtenting themselves with old cars,
[any of them have bought new autolobiles,
and doubtless many more
ill be sold, as more seventeen cents
Dtton is put on the market.
A Word With a Personal Touch.
A good many Bamberg people are
ossessed with the idea of sending
way to otner places ror ineir prim1
matter; they say they get it a lite
cheaper. Perhaps they do; peraps
The Herald force could get their
othing, shoes, etc., a little cheaper
y sending to Sears & Roebuck or
)me other mail order house for
lem, but we don't do it, because we
re trying to make our living in Bamarg.
There is at least one organization
i Bamberg that has sent "away" to
Jt a little book printed, because our
notation was a little higher. In a
jar's time, if that organization paid
>ace rates for everything published
y it and about it, The Herald would
j richer by many good dollars., But
-that is a cat of another color.
^1 j. 1 "U ^
mere is one inercuaiii uere wnu
epects the people in town to trade
ith him, yet he sends away tg get
is printing, because The Herald
ants an honest profit on its investent
and labor. This merchant does
ot attempt to sell as cheap as the
altimore Bargain House, but The
?raid is expected to be cheaper than
lybody else.
Funny world, isn't it. But, oh
ell, what does it matter? It will
1 come out in the wash.
Bamberg Boys Enlist.

RALLY DAY AT TRINITY.
Wesley Class and Sunday-School Re
organize for Fall Campaign.
The Rally Day exercises of Trinity
Sunday-school brought a full attend
ance at the Sunday-school hour lasi
Sunday, and the exercises were noi
only interesting and impressive bui
showed rare equipment for the greai
work of training young people in th(
knowledge of the Bible and the ser
vice of Christ.
The efficient, wide-awake superintendent,
Mr. A. B. Utsey, and his able
assistants have been steadily striving
to make the school not merelj
large as to enrollment, but really efficient
as a church school. Mr. Utsej
has now gathered about him a consecrated
band of efficient, trained
helpers as officers and teachers that
must approach very nearly the idea'
of Sunday-school efficiency. W(
doubt if such an organization can be
found in many other schools of the
| State, and ve do not believe a superior
organization can be found anywhere.
The school, under the general superintendency
of Mr. Utsey, is now
divided into departments, each under
an efficient superintendent. Prof. E,
P. Allen is educational superintendent,
and with his trained skill will
steadily strive to perfect the grading
and apply the n^ost effective plans for

enecuve leauiimg. iviiss. m. \j. xvus^u
is superintendent of the junior and
intermediate departments, and with
her experience, ability, and enthusiasm
will aid in making these departments
most efficient. Miss Alma
Elack, who is most liberally endowed
by nature and training with the
graces, accomplishments, and enthusiasm
required in that most vital department,
will have the superintendency
of the beginners and primar^
department. Mrs. D. J. Delk, with
consecrated enthusiasm', will push
the work of the home department,
striving to enlist all who cannot attend
Sunday-school in the study of
the lessons and tie them to the
school. Mrs. W. D. Rhoad will continue
her splendid work with the
cradle roll department, which has already
proven so efficient an agency of
the Sunday-school under her management.
Special temperance and missionary
teaching will be" under the
direction of committees headed by
Prof. R. T. Fairey, and Miss Bessie
Lee Black. Messrs. Glenn W. Cope
and E. L. Price, Jr., will serve as
secretaries, Mr. W. D. Rhoad as
treasurer, Mr. M. P. Watson as marshall,
and Messrs. Clarence Arm
strong ana Marion ?tnoaa as uDrarians,
and Prof. S. A. Merchant will
assist Mr. Utsey in the work of general
superintendency. In each of
these departments there is a corps of
trained teachers, each practically a
specialist, realizing very nearly the
ideal that prevails in the common
schools of only trained men and
women for the work of teaching.
These officers and teachers were
formally installed with appropriate
and impressive ceremony Sunday-afternoon,
after which the promotion
of pupils was announced and each
class, practically full, was organized
for the year's work.
The list of officers and teachers installed
follows:
A. B. Utsey, superintendent; E. P.
Allen, educational superintendent; S.
A. Merchant, assistant superintendent;
^irs. E. O. Kirsch, superintendent
advanced department; Miss Alma
Black, superintendent beginners and
primary department; Mrs. D. J. Delk;
superintendent home department;
Mrs. W. D. Rhoad, superintendent
cradle roll; Glenn W. Cope, secretary;

Business Men's Bible Class Rally.
The Business Men's Bible class ol
Trinity Methodist church gathered ir
their class room last Sunday morn
ing and after their rally attended
the morning church service in a body.
It was an impressive sight to see this
body of earnest men filling a large
part of the centre of the church. The
sermon by the pastor was, by request,
on "The Holy Grail of the Bible
Class," and especially directed to the
class.
Dr. Watson told of the meaning of
the word "grail"?cup, the symbolism
attaching to the cup in all ages,
and the legends that had formed
about the "cup, or grail" in preChristian
times. He then explained
how these pre-Christian legends took
form in the middle ages about the
cup used at the last supper by Christ
and his disciples, which cup, according
to legend, was a cup of emerald
originally presented to King Solomon
(* by the queen of Sheba, and handed .
. down from generation to generation,
I until it came into the possession of;
t Joseph of Arimathea, in whose)home j
I it was used at the "Last Supper."
t In this cup Joseph was supposed to
j have caught drops of the Saviour's
. blood as he hung upon the cross.
Then the cup, according to the leg.
end, miraculously nourished and de}
livered Joseph of Arimathea when he s
. was cast into prison and walled up
t to die without air or food. The cup <
. was brought to Britain by Joseph,
r and wrought wonderful blessing to c
the land, finally given into the keeping
of knights of a castle thereafter
known as the Castle of the Grail.
The keepers were always to be pure
and stainless, giving their lives in *
service. In course of time a keeper
of the grail departed from this way <
of purity and service, and the grail
disappeared. Thereafter it was the ]
greatest proof of consecrated goodness
and knightly chivalry to seek j
to find and bring back this cup. The
desire to seek it was interpreted to .
mean a desire for communion with
God and the knowledge of truth, to
dream of seeing it, even veiled, was 1
regeneration, to even glimpse it in
. fact was salvation, and the belief was 1
[ that at last some one of absolute
; purity should find it nd bring it with
/ _ _ .... .?
t all its 'power to bless black to tne
. land. Such a knight, by name Gala
. had, came at last to Arthur's table
round, and thence going forth on the j
[ quest after varied experiences saw
i it, and following it, rode throughout
. the land shattering every evil cus.
torn with the power of ten because
. his heart was pure, and at last was
i himself crowned in the far off city,
since when none has even dared say
he saw the grail.
These legends were shown through
all their wild vagaries to express the
deep longing of the human soul for
communion with God, for personal
holiness and service to mankind.
Their influence was traced as the
star dust of literary material in art,
music, and literature, and finally applied
to the work, aims and ideals of
the Wesley Bible class movement;
the red and white of the class badge
signifying "no purity without sacrifice,"
"no remission of sin without
the shedding of blood,"?and the
motto of the. class "My Brother and
\
I," symbolizing the service that men
banded as knights of the cross in the
New Testament} covenant of the blood!
of Jesus might render mankind.
This Bible class movement, as or
, ganized under the different denomi,
nations and under an international t
association, is among the greatest of I
modern Christianity, and the Busi- a
ness Men's Bible class of Bamberg s
has done, and is doing, much toward t
the realization of the ideals of noble
Christian service. The class, in ad- c
dition to the study carried on, has s
done much in the way of helpful I r
