SEED HOUSE BURNED.
Damage to Plant of Cotton Oil Co.
Perhaps $10,000.
One of the most disastrous fires
that have occurred in Bamberg in
many years destroyed the hull house
of The Cotton Oil company Saturday
afternoon. While the exact damage
has not yet been ascertained, it is
estimated that the loss may approximate
$10,000. The damage is partially
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered Saturday
afternoon about 3 o'clock. When
first noticed, the smoke was pouring
from the building. Just previous to
? ? ii
the discovery or tne nre, a sman
wind storm passed over the city, and
the wind served, no doubt, to fan the
smouldering fire into a serious blaze.
The fire had the appearance of having
smouldered in the house 'for
some time.
The building, a frame structure,
was practically filled to capacity with
cotton seed hulls. The contents of
the building were completely destroyed.
The Cotton Oil Company has one
of the most perfect fire fighting systems
in any plant in this section
of the country, but the sudden wind
appearing just "upon the outburst of
the flames made it impossible for the
mill force to handle the situation,
and help was called for from the
city fire department, which responded
with fine results.
The fire department did a neat
piece of work in saving the entire
oil mill from destruction. The main
building and seed house caught fire
several times, but the blaze was extinguished.
The men of the team
placed themselves in considerable
danger in handling the fire, but they
stood by the nozzles and saved thousands
of dollars worth of valuable
property.
It is understood that steps will be
taken at an early date to rebuild the
burned structure. This is the first
serious fire that has occurred at this
plant in many years. Owing to the
nature of the plant, fires are not infrequent
occurrences, but they are
usually handled without difficulty by
the mill force.
Memorial Exercises Held.
The anual memorial day exercises
were held on last Friday at the court
house, under the auspices of the F. |
M. Bamberg chapter of the U. D. C.
Mrs. J. R. Owens, president of the
chapter, presided over the exercises.
Quite a number of old veterans were
present.
After saluting the flag, the president
read a prayer prescribed by the
general convention of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
choir and school children, led by Mr.
C. W. Rentz, sang the hymn "How
Firm a Foundation." Mrs. A. W.
Knight read a most interesting paper,
on the "Origin of Decoration Day."
The choir then sang a number of old '
Southern airs.
Committees from the chapter visit- :
ed the graves of the deceased veter- 1
ans and decorated them with flowers. 1
A special committee, appointed by
the president, decorated the grave of
Gen. F. M. Bamberg. 1

Lewis-Spann.
With all the beautiful simplicity
and solemnity which attends a home
wedding Miss Thelma Lewis and Mr.
Joe Spann were married Tuesday
morning, May the 14th, at 8:30
o'clock* at the home of the bride's
mother, Mrs. C. P. Hooton, Rev. Geo.
P. White reading the service and pronouncing
the benediction.
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Spann left on an automobile
tour for Atlanta and other
Southern cities, after which they will
be at home in Bamberg. The bride
was most becomingly attired in a
handsome suit of velour with accessories
to match.
Mrs. Spann is the daughter of Mrs.
G. P. Hooton and is a young woman
of many lovely traits of character,
which make her most popular in this
her home town. Mr. Spann is a son
of Mr. ;J. A. Spann and is of unusual
business ability and worth. He
has a host of friends here. Both the
young people are widely and prominently
connected and their many
friends and relatives wish for them
a wedded lif^of unalloyed happiness
and prosperity.
Death of Infant.
The friends and acquaintances of
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Hill, of near
Bamberg, were shocked and grieved
to hear of the illness and death of
their little baby girl, Sarah Russell,
which occurred on Wednesday, after
an illness of about a week. The remains
were laid to rest in Restland
cemetery Thursday at 10 o'clock. Mr.
and Mrs. Hill have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community in this i
hour of bereavement.
Dr. Cleckley Moves Offices.
Last week Dr. J. J. Cleckley moved
his1 offices to the front rooms upstairs
in The Bamberg Herald building.
Here he is fixing up four nice
offices, all being connected, and supplied
with handsome furniture and
other furnishings, as well as many
of the latest and newest appliances
for use in surgery, etc., including a
large x-ray machine of the latest
and most improved type, which will
be installed in the next few days.
Dr. Cleckley has found it necessary
to put in all these instruments at
great expense on account of the
growth in his practice along special
lines. He will hereafter devote much
of his time to office practice, and will
specialize in this work. His office
telephone has already been installed.
In many of the larger towns of this
State physicians are giving their time
mostly to office practice, and Bamberg
is to be congratulated on the
fact that Dr. Cleckley has decided to
do this.
A Correction.
The Herald' made an error last
week in its notice as to Mr. Paul J.
Zeigler. The statement was made
therein that he was drafted into the
national army from Orangeburg
county. The fact is that he was born
and reared in Barnwell county, at
Adlendale, and after graduation at
the Citadel -had an important position
in Panama, which ne gave up
and enlisted in the army. His preference
was for the aviation corps,
but as the matter of his assignment
to training seemed slow, he entered
the officers' training school at Camp ,
Jackson, where he recently graduated
as a second lieutenant and will
shortly receive his commission.

What To Do In Case of Fire.
We are requested to ask, on behalf
Df the fire department, that the public
desist from calling: upon the tele)hone
operators for information when
an alarm of fire is sounded. When
the operators are deluged with calls
for information it causes a lot
Df confusion and prevents proper
notification of the fire department.
The other day it is
said that perhaps fifty calls were
fired in to central asking where tlie
fire was. Of course it was quite impossible
for central to answer all
these calls promptly and at the same
time send the alarm in to the fire
department. If the public will coDperate
with the department in this
respect it will be possible for more
prompt service to be rendered by
the department The public is asked
to notify central of a fire, and central
will notify the fire department,
who, in turn, will turn in the alarm,
[n a few moments the fire whistle
will inform the public generally of
the approximate location of the fire.
It is not necessary to bother central
by asking the location of it.
l ne sare arrival iu r rauce ui uie
118th infantry was noted in the
news dispatches of Tuesday morning.
It is of interest to note that a
number of Bamberg county boys are
in this regiment, among whom are
Privates D. E. Folk, of Denmark;
R. K. Kearse, of Olar, and James C.
Kearse, of Olar. There are possibly
a good many others from this county
in the 118th infantry, whose names
are not known to us at this time.

SECOND RED CROSS WAR FUND.
Campaign for Baml>erg County on
From May 20th to 27th.
Having been appointed by the
Southern division office (Atlanta,
Ga.) of the American Red Cross, to
act as chapter war fund chairman
for Bamberg county in the campaign
for the second Red Cross war fund,
I desire to bring to the attention of
our people the campaign that is to be
made, with the view that Bamberg
countj* may perform her part in the
work that is to be undertaken.
The period set apart for the campaign
is May 20th to 27th, and for
the purpose of making clear the full
purpose of the campaign I quote the
language of President Woodrow Wilson
in his proclamation issued a fewdays
ago, which is as follows:
"Inasmuch as the war fund of
1917 so generously contributed to
the Red Cross for the administration
of relief at home and abroad has been
practically exhausted by appropriations
for the welfare of our military
and naval fnrpps and thnse dpnendent
on them, and for the yet more urgent
necessities of our allies, both
military and civilian, who have long
borne the brunt of the war; and inasmuch
as the year of our participation
in the war has brought an unprecedented
demand upon the patriotism
and liberality of our people and
has made evident the necessity of
concentrating the work of relief in
one main organization which can respond
effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress
of war; and inasmuch as during this
war the closer and closer cooperation
|6f the Red Cross with our own army
and navy, with the governments
of our allies and with foreign relief
organizations has resulted in the discovery
of new opportunities for helpfulness
under conditions which translate
opportunity into duty; and inasmuch
as the Red Cross war council
and the Red Cross commissioners in
Europe have faithfully and economically
administered the people's trust;
now, therefore, by virtue of my authority
as president of the United
States and president of the Red Cross
I, Woodrow Wilson, do hereby proclaim
the week beginning May 20,
1918, "Red Cross Week," during
which the people of the United States
will be called upon again to give
generously to the continuation of the
important work of relieving distress,
restoring the waste of war and assisting
in maintaining the morals of
our own troops and the troops and
people of our allies by this manifestation
of effort and sacrifice on the
part of those who, though not priviileged
to bear arms, are of one spirit,
purpose and determination with
our warriors; in witness whereof I
have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed. Done in the District of
Columbia on the seventh day of May,
anno domini one thousand nine hunATI/Y
crVitoon on/1 nf tha indp
U1CU auu gibucwvu, uuu w*. vmv
pendence of the United States of
America one hundred and forty-second."
. The amount of money the American
Red Cross is undertaking to
raise at this time is one hundred
million dollars," and Bamberg county
is requested to raise six thousand
five hundred dollars of this sum.
While the campaign will be conducted
under the management of the Red
Cross organization of the county, the
appeal is made to the entire citizenry
and every person of the county, white
or black, rich or poor, will be given
an opportunity to subscribe to the
fund in such amount as the conditions
of life will permit and the dictates
of an honest conscience demand, be
the amount large or small.
The following named members of
the Red Cross have been requested
to conduct the campaign in the respective
localities named, and to serve
in the capacity named:

"The men are in excellent spirits,

ense point of view and force him te x

"Personally, I cannot see the end
ust yet. Of course, no one knows
,'hat a day may bring forth, and
;hen the war will end is a question 0
pon which no one seems to wish to
isk a prophecy. Our cause is a
ighteous one. The ultimate outome
is practically assured, but it is

"The people back home will be
ailed upon to make greater sacrifices
i the future than they have in the

now that they are behind us in splr:,
thought and resources.
"As the time goes on I am gradully
becoming more and more accusDmed
to the new surroundings and
onditions under which we are forced
3 exist. In the beginning things
'hich I regarded as great hardships
ave now become a part of my daily

ig these little sacrifices for such a

"I have made several moves since 4
last wrote you. At present we are

lade to feel that he is taking an
