Mr. J. J. Brabham, Jr., Appointed.
Last week Governor Manning ap,
pointed Mr. J. J. Brabham, Jr., as
probate judge of Bamberg county, to
succeed Mr. G. P. Harmon, who died
a few weeks ago. Mr. Brabham was
nominated in the second primary to
fill this position, and would have
taken his office on the first of Janu1
ary, but the death of Mr. Harmon vacated
the office. Mr. Brabham has
already assumed the duties of the office.
The County Chain Gang.
The main force of the county chain
gang is now at work on the BambergEhrhardt
public road, and Supervisor
McMillan says that this road is going
to be made into a highway before he
is through with it. It will probably
be next July before the work on this
road is completed. It will be
straightened and broadened. This
road has been in need of rebuilding
for a long time. Some parts of the
road were in especially bad condition,
and Mr. McMillan has been
wanting to get to work on it for several
months. A good road to Ehrhardt
is one of the greatest needs of
the county, and the announcement
that work has now started will be received
with pleasure by the people of
Ehrhardt, Bamberg, and in fact, the
whole county.
(ieneral Election Held.
Tuesday was general election day.
The Bamberg boxes were placed at
the court house, the State and county
box being in the clerk of court's
J f a/1 V\av tk^i n or in
UlllVC, diiU llic icuciai UUA uviiig n>
the court room upstairs. Everything
passed off quietly here. Xo Republican
or Progressive tickets were furnished
Bamberg boxes, these parties
evidently looking on Bamberg county
as a hopeless case. The people all voted
the straight Democratic ticket.
None of the Blease "bolt" tickets
were in evidence in Bamberg county.
Very little interest is ever taken
in the general election in Bamberg, as
everything is solidly Democratic. For
this reason it was impossible for The
Herald to learn the vote in the county
in tffhe for this week's issue.
The vote at the Bamberg box was
as follows:
State and county officers, with the
exception-of county commissioners,
202.
For county commissioners, 10.
For congress apd Democratic presidential
electors,'197.
The small vote for county commiscirmorc
xi-fls thp result of the failure
to have the names printed on the
tickets.
Carlisle Enjoys Trip to Denmark.
Last Friday evening about twenty-five
citizens of Bamberg drove up
to the Carlisle campus in their automobiles
to take the students to
Denmark for a service at the Andrews-Curry
meeting. The boys, the
: girls, the teachers, and matrons, were
soon "all aboard" and probably the
largest procession of cars which ever
left Bamberg were speeding away
to Denmark. There were between
125 and 150 persons in the party.
Special seats had been reserved for
the Carlisle delegation at the front
of the large tabernacle.
During the course of the evening
Mr. Curry, the song leader, called on
the students for some school songs
and yells. The boys responded vigorously
with "Fifteen Rahs," "Skyrocket,"
and "There are no Flies on
Us." The girls held up their end
with "The Carlisle Boys are HighMinded,"
and "Razzle, Dazzle, Frazzle."
The audience seemed to enjoy
and appreciate the songs and yells
of the students and applauded them
enthusiastically.
Mr. Andrews preached an unusual
ly strong sermon and quite a good
deal of interest was manifested by
the young people of the school.
Everyone voted this one of the
I most pleasant and profitable trips the
I students had ever enjoyed. The
school authorities join them in expressing
their gratitude and appreciation
to those who so liberally
made the trip possible by the use of
their cars.
