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

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.

Breeland, and Mrs. Corbett Hiers,

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.

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.

- beans, cabbage, potatoes and root

Evangelist Haynes's Meetngs.
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]^

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.
