The Herald Thursday by Rural Carrier
H. W. Adams.
Mr. W. I. Johns, of Baldock, is a

contribute $300,000 of the $100,000,000
fund to be raised for the support
of the Red Cross during the war period.
Mr. H. M. Graham, of this
city, has been designated county
chairman for Bamberg to assist in
raising this amount.
v Several of our correspondents have
requested stationery to be sent them.
Our office is now in considerable con:
fusion, but these requests will be

before we will even know where
our stationery is in the office.
Automobilists are now required to

Main street; that is, cars going north
must park on the east side of the
street, and those going south must
park on the west side. This is undoubtedly
a good regulation, and no
doubt the wisdom of it will be fully
appreciated by the public.

A gentleman who resided in Bamberg
for a while had to move his family
away because he could not secure
a house; but he continued his office
here. Now he likes the_otner town
so well, he contemplates moving his
office there as well. Here is an instance
of the town losing by not having
houses for newcomers.
Much rain has fallen in the vicinity
of Bamberg within the past two
weeks. The rain were, in many instances.
accompanied by disastrous
hail storms, and considerable damage
has been reported from different sections
of the county. The grass is
growing fast, but good weather is
prevailing at present, and the far- ,
mers are not blue by any means.
MrrTLaVerne Thomas has purchased
from Mr. J. G. Black the Thielen
Theatre, Mr. Black having entered
tne navai service. Air. rnomas assumed
control of the theatre Monday.
Mr. Black's many friends regret
to see him leave the city; he is
a splendid young fellow, well liked
by everybody. Under Mr. Thomas's
management, the theatre will be
carried on as usual.
Bamberg was closed up tight last
Sunday, City council'recently decided
to enforce the Sunday laws, and as
a consequence those accustomed to
their morning "dope" had to dispense
with it Sunday, and those who did not
/get their cigars Saturday missed
their usual Sunday smokes. As usual
on such occasions, some are in
favor and some vociferously opposed
to the enforcement of the Sunday
laws.
The Herald, management is in hopes
of having everything in smooth running
order within the next few days,
the work of replacing the decayed
floor with permanent concrete and
cement has been completed. The motors?six
in number?are yet to be
set in place, and there is yet some
painting to be done. We have been
thrown considerably behind with our
work, but will get out all work just
as soon as possible. This issue of
the paper is a day late, on account
of the unavoidable delay caused by
the work in the office.
Sheriff Ray confiscated thirty-six
quarts of whiskey last week at Denmark.
The whiskey had been checked
as baggage from Jacksonville to
Warenvilie, Aiken county, and the
owner is unknown.
Forty-three negroes from South
Carolina have been accepted as applicants
for the training camp at Des
Moines, Iowa, for negro officers in
the national army. Among them are
Caleb J. Archer and Samuel J. Wiiloughoy,
both of Denmark.
In the last issue of The Herald it
was stated that Miss Grace Hill had
returned from the hospital. This was
an error. Miss Hill is still confined
to the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore.
Her many friends in the
county wish for her an early recovery
and for her return home.
Death of Mrs. H. C. Bishop.
After suffering for about four days

friends, who gathered to pay their
last tribute of respect to the deceased.

by the Rev. D. B. Groseclose, of Fairfax,
who for a number of years was
her pastor.
.Mrs. Bishop was 68 years and eight
months old and had been in poor
health for some time, but nothing
of a serious nature until a rew aays
before her death.
At the age of 14 Mrs. Bishop united
with the Mt. Pleasant Lutheran
church, of which she has been a
faithful and consistent member, and
was always trying to do and say
things pleasing in the sight of her
heavenly Father.
Mrs. Bishop was a daughter of
the late George Copeland and was
married to Mr. Bishop in February,
1S85, and since their marriage they
have lived a happy and devoted life

that God's richest blessings may rest
upon them in their sorrow, and guard
