At 6:30 Miss Kate Rentz will be be married at home to Mr. J. J. Heard, and at 7 o'clock Miss Jerolyn Bruce will be married to Mr. W. D. Coleman. The Sunday-school conference of the Charleston district was held at the Ehrhardt Methodist church last Thursday and Friday. A very attractive and instructive programme had been arranged for the conference which was well attended. Mr. Alvin M. Wright and Miss Eliz abeth Robertson were married in Anderson on June 14th. Mr. Wright is pleasantly remembered by numerous friends in Bamberg, having been a member of The Herald staff for some time three years ago. Fire Sunday night did a small amount of damage to Rentz & Felder's store on Main street. The fire occurred about midnight, and the cause is not known. When discovered the fire was in one of the display windows. The blaze was extinguished before much damage was done. Notice has been given of the re-j moval of the first regiment guard units from bridge patrol duty. For several weeks a Spartanburg company has been located at Denmark. Squads from this company have been performing guard duty at a number of bridges on the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railways. President Wilson has appointed Messrs. H. C. Folk and A. L. Kirkland and Dr. J. J. Cleckley as the county conscription exemption board for this county. The president ap* *1 /vr\ A ran. pointed <111 coumv uuaiuj uu luc icvommendation of Governor Manning, the governor's recommedations being appointed without change in each instance. Little James Bessinger, eight-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Bessinger, was operated on Wednesday of last week at the Baptist hospital, Columbia, for appendicitis. His friends and acquaintances will be glad to know that the operation was successful, and he is rapidly recovering. A few weeks ago Miss Meta Bessinger. J* brother of Master James Bessinger, was operated on at a hospital in Charleston for appendicitis. The demonstration of an army machine gun on Main street Monday attracted considerable attention. A detachment from the second regiment machine gun company is touring the State in automobiles securing recruits; and to assist in recruiting a machine gun is carried along and demonstrated. The gun is geared up to fire twelve hundred times a minute, and was operated on Main street to fire six hundred times?this being entirely fast enough to show how it works. The Red Cross'Campaign. On account of the illness of the cointy chairman for several days last week, the county organization was delayed and by reason of this delay, Bamberg county has not had an equal showing with her sister counties and the national committee has extended the time for this county for one week longer in order that! she may raise-her allotment. The subscriptions to date amount to $l,-j 700. Olar. through the untiring efforts of Mrs. L. A. Hartzog, raised its allotment in due time and had some to spare, but the other towns are still in arrears. We have never known either of the towns to fail heretofore. and we will lie disappointed if they do so in this worthy cause. The names of all contributors will be published in The Herald next week and a banquet will be driven to the workers on next Mondav night. Some other interesting features will be announced by circular^ during the week. Dixon-Crum. Married at the home of the bride. Miss Olive Dixon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. O.

Miss Cressie Breeland, and Mrs. Corbett Hiers, representing the home demonstration clubs of Denmark, Kearse, and Olar, have returned from a week's course at Winthrop college. The delegates report a very pleasant and profitable trip, and President Johnson expects to have several hundred women from the organized clubs taking the course next summer. Shower for Miss Rentz... Unique and lovely in all details, was a linen shower given by Mrs. Clarence Black and Miss Urma Black nn Wednesdav evening for Miss Kate Rentz, a fair bride-elect of the week. The handsome new home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Black was brilliantly lighted and artistically decorated to represent a Japanese tea room. A profusion" of cut flowers and- pot plants were attractively arranged about the charming rooms, the hall being in yellow and green, and the dining and living rooms in pink and green. Many Japanese lanterns swaying from ribbons festooned across the rooms shed a soft light over a scene truly oriental, which was emphasized by a luxury of cushions strewn about the floor and the picturesque Japanese costumes worn by the hostesses and their assistants. * Receiving at the door were Mrs. Miles Black and Mrs. J. C. Guilds, who introduced the guests to the receeving line, consisting of Mrs. Claranon Riark Miss TT'rma Black. Miss Kate Rentz, Miss Nan Vincent, and Miss Ethel Black. Mrs. H. N. Folk conducted the guests to the dining room, where they were refreshed with delightful punch from a bowl of ice, embowered in green, by Misses Bessie Watson and Virgie Folk. When the company was comfortably grouped, Miss Rentz was assigned a position of honor, conspicuous in its decoration and attractiveness. While Mrs. E. H. Henderson played a wedding march, a tiny cupid, Clarence Black, Jr., advanced. Arrayed only in a sash of maline, and equipped with bow and arrow, he truly personified cupid as he marched in, presenting to Miss Rentz a gift from the hostesses symbolic of the occasion, a Japanese tea pot. Immediately following, a jinriksha appeared, drawn by a fairy, Mildred Guilds! Loaded to overflowing, this vehicle contained numerous and lovely gifts of linen and lingerie for the bride's trousseau. When these were admired and exclaimed over by the happy crowd, a delicious sweet course of angel food cake and cream - t-:?t/\! was served oy .Misses vugic win. and Bessie Watson. On each plate the favor, a bird of happy omen, poised, bearing a bundle of incense sticks, a fagot burning and held in its beak added a delightful odor to a dainty feast. Among many lovely costumes those of Miss Rentz and Miss Vincent, also a guest of honor, were strikingly beautiful. Miss Rentz wore a turquoise tulle over silver cloth, while Miss Vincent's gown was also of blue in rich fabric and graceful lines, j Choice selection in instrumental and vocal music by Mrs. E. H. Henderson and Mrs. H. X. Folk added much pleasure to a very enjoyable occasion. Presbyterian Church Services. Services at the Presbyterian church Sunday.

Negro Wants to Come Home. Charlie Washington, a negro who worked last year on Mr. Barney Bishop's place, a few miles from town, answered a siren's call a short time ago, and went to Pennsylvania to make his fortune. But Charlie found that everything that glitters is not gold; the North is not what it is cracked up to be for the negro. The negro's place is in the South; this has been found to be true by the hundreds of Southern negroes who have yielded to the temptation to go North to make what was made to appear as big wages. Things are not going well with Charlie Washington. The other day Mr. Bishop received the following letter from Charlie-: "York, Pa.. June 16. 1917. "Dear Mr. Barney:?I am now got enough of this place. I get hurt. I get my feet crack 3 weeks ago and when I get better I am coming home to live and if you want me to help you work let me know at once and when I come I will come back to you. "CHARLIE WASHINGTON." It was rumored a week or two ago that someone was in the county trying to induce negroes to go North | under the promise of big wages. We do not know whether the rumor was true or not. but we hope that every colored reader of The Herald would impress upon those who are inclined ^ to go North in search of big money that they will be doomed to disappointment if they go. Hundreds of negroes are in the North now. and would come home now but for one reason?they haven't railroad fare home. He was Equal to It. A student who could not sound the letter "R" was given the following 5 sentence to read: '"Robert gave Richard a rap in the ribs for roasting the rabbit so rare." Fie studied it in silence a minute, then glibly rendered it as follows: "Bobby gave Dick a thump in the side, for cooking the bunny so little." ?Current Events. ?

Evangelist S. R. Haynes requests publication of the following: From all sections of Bamberg people are coming regularly to the big; tent-meetings. Interest is not only growing in the studies which are giv-j en every night, but the musio is taking on a new vigor. The evangelist | takes this opportunity to thank all who are taking a special interest in this phase of the meetings, both by , those in tire choir and in the audience. More are expected' to join the choir during the coming week. The subjects to be given for the next few nights are the most important of the series. Mr. Haynes will consider the great sanctuary question. The santuary will be found worthy of the attention of all Christian people, place where the mysterious process as the great central object in the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. It * ? ~ f A fVi A A]^ IS 1101 SOU!tilling tuuiiiicu lu iuc w>u dispensation, but has a place also in the new. Next to Christ, the minister of the new covenant, and the mediatorial work in which he is engaged, it claims our attention, as the pplace where the mysterious process of the world's redemption is carried forward. This subject unites the two great dispensations, the Mosaic and the Christian, and shows their relation to each other. It divides with no other subject the high honor of explaining the position and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a key to the interpretation of some of the most important prophecies pertaining to the present time. | Neglecting to use this, an expositor can hardly come to right conclusions; using it, he can scarcely go astray. It shows our present whereabouts in the world's history. It answers the question, "What of the night?" It places the law of God in its true light, draws out the heart in practical cunatianity, points the inquirer the way to Christ, shows 011 what lines the judgment proceeds, how and when the work of mercy for the world will close, Christ appear, redemption be completed, and the blessings of the everlasting covenant be secured. The studies tq be given on this great subject are as follows: Sunday, July 1, "The Prophetic History of the World; Monday, July 2, "Counterfeit Christianity;" Tuesday, "The Christian Sanctuary;" Wednesday, July 4, "The Judgment;" Thursday, July 5, "The place of the Law of God in Society;" all these subjects will be illustrated by great charts. Everyone is invited. Feints and Faints. ! An Irish recruit was being drilled in the myteries of sword-play. "Now," cried the instructor, after carefully explaining various rules of ' - J - i fencing, "what wouia you uo ir juu, opponent feinted?"
