The Cotton Oil company has recently
secured a ^upply of fuel, and
is now again operating, after an enforced
close-down of some weeks.
The friends of .Messrs. \V. G. Hutto
and J. F. Kilgus, both of whom
have been sick for some weeks, will
learn with regret that they are still
every ill.
Miss Bomar, manager of the basket
ball team of the graded school,
wishes it announced that the game
with Memminger scheduled to be
played here this week, has been called
off for the present.
The warm weather of the past
week has caused much activity in
garden work. As a general thing,
the people of the city are planting
large gardens this year, preparatory
to canning much vegetables this season.
Subscriber J. H. All?for many
years a reader of The Herald?writes
that he has changed his address from
Ehrhardt to Ulmers, and says: "Although
I will be in another county,
I cannot do without The Herald."
Death of Mr. J. D. Milhous.
John Darling Milhous, 65 years of
age and a native of Denmark, Bamberg
county, of this State, and for
the past six years a resident of this
/ city, died at his home 1002 Sumter
street, yesterday morning at 7:10
after an illness of several months.
He has been in bad health for the
v -past year, and five months ago became
worse and was confined to his
bed. He suddenly took a turn for
the worse on Sunday afternoon when
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy,
gradually sinking until the end came.
Mr. Milhous was born and reared
near Denmark, where he lived until
about six years ago, moving to this
city. He was widely known and respected
both in his native county and
in his adopted home. For the past
four years he has been in the emi
ploy of the State company. He was
highly regarded by his business associates
and was respected and admired
by his numerous friends through
out the city, who were shocked to
learn of his death.
Mr. Milhous is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Martha Kittrell,
of Denmark, and five daughters: Mrs.
R. L. Tyler, Savannah, Ga.; Misses
Helen, Von Etta and Martha Milhous,
of this city. The body will be
taken to Denmark for interment this
morning, accompanied by the family.?Columbia

Sweptson Saunders l)ead.
Florence, Feb. 11.?Mr. Sweptson
Harrison Saunders, one of Florence's
best known citizens and a prominent
business man, died at his home, 425
South Dargan street, this city, about
9 o'clock last night, aged fifty-five
years. Mr. Saunders had been suffering
for many weeks with an
ailment that slowly sapped his life
blood and which finially resulted in
bis going away. He recently returned
from Baltimore, where he went to
John Hopkins with a hope of being
benefited, but only to learn that
human effort could not Way'the
disease.
Mr. Saunders was a son of the late
Sweptson Harrison and Mrs. Harriet
Rebecca Saunders, of Statesburg, S.
C., and came to Florence about
fifteen years ago. He conducted a
large sales stable business and
several farms at this place. He
was married twenty-eight years ago
to Miss Janie Sue Counts of Bamberg,
S. C., and she with four sons
. and two daughters survive him.
Mr. Saunders was a member of
Emanuel Baptist Church and was a
high-toned Christian gentleman. The
funeral services will be held here on
Tuesday, the 12th, and the interment
made in Mount Hope Cemetery.
The friends in Bamberg of Mr.
Saunders will regret very much
to learn of his death a few days ago
at his home in Florence. Mr. Saunders
lived in Bamberg many years
ago, but he moved from here to
Florence where he has been a prominent
business man for a number of
years.
*V
Major .J. Wilson Riley.
An official announcement from the J
war department at Washington which
is of much interest in Bamberg appeared
in a recent issue of the New
York Times. This was that Capt.
J. Wilson Riley, of New York city,
a son of Capt. and Mrs. W. A. Riley,
and a former Bamberg boy who was
raised here and now has hundreds
of friends in this city, had been commissioned
a major in the army. Major
Riley, when a boy, attended the
Citadel in Charleston and later received
his appointment to West
Prtint ?rafiliated from that in
X V/lll V. ? V,
stitution as a second lieutenant in
the army, and served a good many
years, being promoted to a first lieutenant
and then as a captain, which
commission he held at the time of
his resignation from the army about
two years ago. Major Riley is very
popular here at his old home
and it will be gratifying to his numerous
Bamberg friends to know
that he has reentered the patriotic
service of his country and been rewarded
with the further promotion
of the high rank of major. The
country is fortunate in obtaining the
services of men of such competence
as officers. Major Riley should be
congratulated. In addition to his
former experience and training, Major
Riley is a thorough gentleman
at all times, which is a fine qualification
for one to possess in handling
men and one of the highest of tributes
that could be paid to an army
officer. Bamberg is. proud of such
sons.
The newspaper announcement did
not state, but the appointment probably
takes effect at once. Since his
retirement from the army, Major Riley
has been in civil life In New
York city, where is now a prominent
and successful business man and also'
very popular socially.

Olar, Feb. 11.?This community
was shocked Saturday morning as a
result of the sudden and unexpected'
death of one of Olar's most influential
citizens. Charles A. French,
foreman of the Saltkeatchie- Lumber
Company's plant at Schofield. Mr.
French had not been in good health
for several weeks, but through his
remarkable will power he worked
until the time of his death. He had
made up his mind to go to Columbia
for medical treatment on the 10 a.
m. train yesterday, and worked until
a half hour before train time. He
then went to his home to dress and
as he attempted to put on his coat
he fell dead. Mr. French was respected
by all who knew him. He
was 59 years of age, and was a consistent
member of the Olar Methodist
church. The funeral services
were held at his late resdience yesterday
afternoon by his pastor, the
Rev. Achille Sassard, of Olar, after
which his family left with the remains
for Benezetts, Pa., his old
home, where the interment will
take place Tuesday.
Mr. French leaves a widow and
two children. T. L. French, of Schofield,
and Miss Verna French, of the

of Columbia College and from
Miss French's music class.

will take me from southern Italy to

Our Allotment of Thrift Stamps.
The national war savings committee
in Washington, which is handling
the sale of war savings and
thrift stamps throughout the nation,
has estimated the population of Bamberg
county at 19,454 people, and has
alloted to this county a minimum
sales apportionment for the two combined
of $389,080 which should be
bought by the people of the county.
Other counties are attaining their
allotments and Bamberg should be
up and doing. This is a matter in
which every single one, even the
very poorest element, could help
themselves and also help the government
with only a dollar or two.
Bamberg ranks 40th in population
of the 45 counties of the State, and
should have two agencies for the sale
of these stamps, etc., or an average
of one agency for each 9,727 people.
Let's come to the front with Bamberg.

I BAMBERG,
II? A. 31. Denbow, Pres. Dr. C
>Iiss Howell Hoes to Washington.
Miss Mattie .J. Howell, teacher in
the Bamberg high school, received
a message last week to proceed to
Washington at once-, where she has
accepted a very Mattering position doing
clerical work as a clerk in the
war department. Miss Howell im- j
mediately resigned her position as!
teacher here and left Friday for
Washington, which is her home, and
where she has probably already en- j
tered upon her duties.
Miss Howell's resignation came as i
a source of much regret to trustees,
parents, students and teachers alike
here, and her place in the school will
indeed be difficult to fill. She/ is a
gratuate of Converse college, Spar
tanburg, and is tnorougniy competent
both as a teacher and for the
patriotic service which she goes to
perform. She was very highly re-1
garded by the school trustees and her J
ability and skill as a teacher were
eminently commended by those in
a position to know her qualifications, j
The loss to the school will therefore
be great. She had taught here for
the past two years and had made
many friends here as well as in Denmark
where she taught before coming
to the Bamberg school.
To fill Miss Howell's place in the
high school Miss Ella May Martin,
of the primary department, has been
changed, and Mrs. E. P. Allen will
substitute for Miss Martin in the primary
grades. This arrangement, it
is believed, will prove satisfactory to
the patrons of the school, but will,
nevertheless, only be temporary unless
it is found that a permanent
teacher can not-be procured for the
remainder of the session. J
