Reports from .various pa*rts of the
county indicate that the crops are in
fine condition. This -is especially
true of cotton. The recent warm .
weather has brought the plant out
wonderfully. Most of the farmers
are up with their work, and if the
good weather continues a few days
longer all of them will be out of the
grass.
The Red Cross campaign has developed
some wonderful incidents.
Many of them have been related.
The success of the campaign in tht,
^ county .is a matter of deep pride to
the workers and to the people of the
county generally. ^Through the efforts
of Mr. C. F. Rizer, Henry Ford,
of Detroit, has made a subscription
of $500 to the fund in this county.
The friends of Mr. Will Brabham
will be interested to learn that he
has- entered the officers' training
camp at Camp Sevier, Greenville.
"Bill" is one of Bamberg's popular

doubt. He was in the city Tuesday
en route to Greenville.
Mr. J. K. Faulkner is opening up
an electric supply store in the building
formerly occupied by Mrs. Poliakoff,
which will be operated under
the name of the Faulkner Electric
Service company. 5 Mr. Faulkner
states that in addition to his DelcoLight
business he will carry a complete
line of electrical supplies and
appliances. He says he will make
his store more complete than any of
its kind to be found nearer than Augusta,
Charleston and Columbia.
Bamberg has long been in need of
such a store.
According to the statement of the
insurance commissioner Bamberg
will receive from the one per cent,
fire insurance premium tax $124.17.
This amount is to be paid over to the
fire department for maintenance. The

the additional license fees on premiums
collected $515.74.
Mr. J. B. Black, Jr., who several
montlis ago enlisted in tne navai reserves,
recently stood the examination
in Charleston for pay clerk in
the navy and has been notified that

of South Carolina, is one of
Bamberg's popular young men.
The following from the State
Board of Charities and Corrections
quarterly bulletin is listed under the
head of local laws enacted, for Bamberg
county: "No. 298 appropriates
$150 for jailer's salary and $650 for
'j^il expenses, including dieting of
prisoners' at 40 cents. The dieting
fee was formerly 30 cents. The sum
of $1,300 is appropirated for 'poor'
(Bamberg county has no county almshouse.)"
The catalogue of the Carlisle school
is just off the presses of The Bamberg
Herald. The catalogue this year is
an especially attractive one. The
booklet is gotten up in two colors,
with "Old Glory" in colors for a frontispiece.
Each page is surrounded
by a patriotic border, the reading
matter being printed in blue. The
cuts are printed on brown paper with
brown ink. A number of new scenes
are shown this year.
v
There has been no clue as j et as to
the fate of the Cyclops, the merchant
vessel of whose crew Henry S. Felder,
of Bamberg, was a member. Information
from the navy department,
however, is to the effect that hope .
has not been given up. The vessel
was literally swallowed up, disappearing
shortly after it left a West Indian
port and has not been heard
from. As to whether the vessel was
captured by the Germans, sunk or .
otherwise disposed of is unknown.
Letters have been received in the
city from R. P. Bellinger, Esq., and
Mr. M. G. Cooner, who were both recently
drafted into the army. Mr. ,
Bellinger has been transferred from
Fort Screven, Ga., to Camp Wads
worth, and is doing clerical work
there. Mr. Cooner has been assigned
to clerical work at Camp Jackson. ,
Mr. Albert McMillan has also been j
transferred from Fort Screven to ]
Camp Wadsworth.
The case against D. Bessinger in i
connection with his alleged disorderly 1
conduct at the graded -school some :
weeks ago has been disposed of in the 1
magistrate's court. Mr. Bessinger i
pleaded guilty to one charge, ]
and a fine of $25 was imposed by the j
magistrate. The other charge against <
him in connection with the same in- i
cident was dropped. It is understood l
that Mr. Bessinger has disposed of
his business in Bamberg and is re- s
moving to Columbia. i
James D. Rice, a little negro boy, 1
was struck by a Southern passenger 1
train last Thursday, and sustained 1
such serious injuries that death re- ?
suited shortly after. An inquest was
held over the boy's body Friday. 1
Roderick Rice is the boy's father, 1
and the accident, occurred on Mr. (
W. M. McCue's place. It seems that *
the little boy and another child were 1
playing about the railroad at the (
time, and that he attempted to cross 1
the track just in front of the train.
Thursday night' fire did a small *
amount of damage to the residence on 1
Midway avenue occupied by Mr. and !
Mrs. Decania Dowling. It is stated
that the fire caught from an oil stove, '
being discovered about nine o'clock.
The alarm of fire brought the motor J
fire truck to the scene promptly, and J
in a minute or two the chemical device
on the truck had extinguished
the flames. A portion of the roof j
over the kitchen was burned, and
considerable damage was done to the
contents of the house.
\
President Wilson and Governor ,
Manning have issued proclamations j
calling upon the people of the State ;
and nation to observe Thursday, Mav .
30th, as a day of fasting and prayer. 3
In accordance with these proclama- ]
tions, a prayer service will be held ,
at the Baptist church Thursday morvn- (
ing at 11:30 and at 6:00 in the af- ]
ternoon. These services will be union (
meetings for all congregations, and j
the people generally are not only j
invited to attend, but are urgently ]
requested to do so. ,
The many friends of Mr. A. M.
Denbow will be pleased to hear that
he is improving at the Hygeia hos
pital, Richmond, Va., where he is 1
well looked after by his banking t
friends and old Bible class. Mrs. ]
Den bow, wiio is witn ner nusDana, ]
witnessed a few days ago the daring 1
exploits of an airplane which came <
unheralded over Richmond celebrat- I
ing the anniversary of the entrance 1
of Italy into the war. The plane was <
driven by an Italian ace, and the ]
performance included the dangerous i
head and tail spins, the '"wing over ]
wing," the "loop," etc. i

Cross chapter was organized at Go- i
van with a membership of nineteen, i
which continues to grow. s
Through the efforts of those who i
joined a subscription of fifteen hun- t
dred dollars has been raised, includ- ]
ing a considerable amount of cash j
money. c
Mr. McPierce Eubank, chairman of <
the publicity committee, wishes to \
thank every one who so willingly assisted
in making the canvass for the i

success could not have been attained, i
He wishes also to extend his very c
grateful appreciation, in behalf of the i
chapter, to both Rev. Achille Sassard (
ind Mr. C. F. Rizer, who rendered i
?reat help through their speeches. ]
On Friday Mr. Sassard made a t
splendid address at Salem school, and ^
igain on Saturday he spoke to the i
people of Govan and persuaded many c
:o contribute who had not, and others 1
:o double what they had already subscribed.
An Cnn/Sav Air T?i7or in fl VPI*V
appealing and inspiring address, intermingled
with biblical facts and a t
ievelopment of historical events in s
:he United States, from the Revolu- 1
tion through the present European 1
crisis, opened the minds and pocket t
books of the colored people at Honey t
Ford church, to the 'seriousness of ^
the present world war. The splen- ^
lid response of the colored people is i
?reatly appreciated. s
At this writing the prospects for t
i Red Cross chapter at Govan are 1
bright and we expect to continue the s
?ood work already started. Join us s
and help win the fight of justice and t
liberty. c
We appreciate the contribution of t
everyone. Through Mr. Rizer Honey 2

The friends^of George H. Render, t
vho is serving Uncle Sam in the navy, 1
will learn with regret of his illness i
in a base hospital in Maryland. Mr. r
Fender was recently stricken with \
appendicitis, and was operated on a c
few days ago*, Saturday his mother 3
received a telegram summoning her 2
Lo his bedside. It was feared that 1
complications had set in. Saturday
light his mother and Mr. Edgar Fen- I
ler, his brother, left for the hos- 2
pital to be with him. George is a c
fine young fellow, and it is sincerely 3
hoped that his illness will not prove 2
serious. t

A prominent citizen of Bamberg, ^
who asked that his name be with- 1
held for the present, stated Monday ?
:hat The Herald could announce that t
Bamberg would have an ice factory
next season. This gentleman has
been interested in this matter for
some time past, and he says he is
fully determined to put in the plant i
before next summer. This is an in- c
iustry that should be a good invest- I
ment here, and it is to be hoped that c
the gentleman does not change his <
mind, and he says he positively will t
not. <
