ton, is conducting a revival meeting
this week at the Presbyterian church,
to which the public is most cordially
invited. Dr. Sprunt is a preacher
of ability', and those who are not
attending the services are missing
much.
A heavy rain, accompanied by considerable
wind, visited Bamberg and
surrounding country Monday afternoon.
The rain was badly neded in
some sections and was a welcome visitor.
Some damage was done by the
wind to the growing crops. There
was also a vivid display of lightning
\
during the storm.
Mose Daniels was arrested Satur^
day on a charge of violating the prohibition
law. He was caught in the
act of selling whiskey by Chief of
Police Kirkland and Sheriff Ray. He
had already been seen to accept the
money for the wrhiskey, and was in
the act of pouring it out of a bottle
when he was interrupted by the officers.
Daniels was sent to the chain
gang for thirty days.
There is now a law requiring all
business houses not incorporated to
register with the clerk of court. The
names of all partners, owners, etc.,

a penalty of $10 per day after
July 1st for each day that elapses
before registration. The fee for registration
is $1. The law further
"provides that a sign must be displayed
with the name of the business
and the owners printed on it.
The farmers of the county are now
busy gathering and curing their toC
bacco crop. While it was hardly to
be expected that so new a crop would
be very profitable the first season,
many of the planters report excellent
crops, and some of them bid fair
to make a splendid profit on their
first crop. It is believed that another
season Bamberg will have a
warehouse, with the possibility of a
good market being established here.
Sheriff Ray and Chief Kirkland
on Sunday discovered Will Johnson,
an escaped convict from Georgia, in
a negro house in the city and went
after him. They succeeded in getting
close to the house before being
seen by the negro, but as they were
about to close in on him, Johnson
made a dash for liberty and succeeded
in escaping through a cornfield.
The sheriff fired at him, but
the negro evidently had something
else on his mind, and did not stop to
argue about the matter.

is called to the fact that we are now
required to pay postage according
to zones. As this causes a considerable
increase in postage rates on
papers going to certain zones, all
subscribers are requested to sen'd in
their renewals promptly. We are
how sending some papers out at a loss
on account of the increased postal
rates, and if you want The Herald
to continue, you must renew promptly;
otherwise we shall presume that
___ you do not want it longer.
Although the official report of
sales of war savings stamps for the
week ending June 29 does not do
Bamberg county justice, it does show
a much better position for the county.
This report places the county
16th in the sales for the week ending
June 29, with accredited sales of
$19,141.75, or 98 cents per capita.
The total sales shown for that date
amount to $1.76 per capita, or a total
of $34,312.75, putting the county
21st in the total sales. A full report
to July 1 is printed in another
column.

The Red Cross Work Rooms.
Some weeks ago when the local
chapter of the Red Cross inaugurated
a beginning of the making ol
surgical dressings, the chapter was
confronted by the lack of propei
quarters for this work, which must
be handled in a very careful and
sanitary manner. The Carlisle
school came to the rescue of the
chapter and kindly offered the use
of the lower floor in the annex to the
administration building, which was
built last year, and which had nevei
been completed in the interior
Through the generosity of the people
of Bamberg, and of some friends oul
of the city, the chapter has been enabled
to fit two rooms in this build
ing in a most excellent manner foi
the work of the chapter. This wort
has now been completed, and actua
work on making dressings and othei
surgical appliances is now going on
With the completion of tnes<
rooms, the chapter now has comm#
dious quarters. The rooms hav<
been supplied with large work tables
plenty of shelving, etc., and th<
rooms are large enough to permit o
a great deal of work being carriec
on. The chapter is to be congratu
lated upon securing such excellen
quarters, and from now on much wil
be expected from the Bamberg chap
ter. This is not intended to mean
however, that the chapter has beei
other than active, for within th<
past few months the local Red Cros:
organization has made up and ship
ped hundreds of garments, in addi
tion to carrying on other work.

> Nearly $41,000 in War Stamps Sold
During Past Month.
During the month of June the sale j
i of war savings and thrift stamps ag-'
t gregated more than $40,000 in face!
i value, or $34,200.21 in actual cash,
i in Bamberg county. This added to j
1 the previous sales carries the total to j
i more than $54,000. Bamberg leads
1 the county with sales of $13,955.23
t in cash value. The totals in present
- cash value for the various offices in
r the county are as follows:
Bamberg $13,955.23

Olar 103.48
Lees 41.70
1 Total $34,200.21
No report has been received of
r sales at Schofield or Govan for the
' month. It may be stated that the
figures for Lees do not do that office
justice, inasmuch as some large purchases
were made from other offices.
The sales of $34,200.21, which is
the present value of the stamps, rep,
resents a "face value of $40,934.00.
It may be stated in this connection
that all reports issued by the State

Unsanitary, Says Civic League. j
The Herald is requested to publish I
' the following:
Whenever and wherever you see a :
town begin to grow and prosper, take i
on a new lease of life and make a j
bid for newcomers to settle there,
, and new enterprises to spring up, the |
first step taken to bring about this I
prosperity is towards making the!
town perfectly sanitary. Do we want
Bamberg to grow, do we long to have f
a perfectly healthy as well as beau-;
1 tiful town, in order that a desira- j
ble class of citizens will be attracted ,
to settle here?where parents will j
not hesitate to send their boys and i
girls to board in our midst and make !
Carlisle a power for edication and
[ cause those of us who live here to feel
. so well all the time that we will cease
. to cast our eyes upon a more health- j
ful place of abode?
? It can be done, but are any steps j
being taken in this direction? Have.
n't our city fathers and board of
j health relaxed their vigilance and
left the health of the town to take ;
J care of itself of late? Numerous pe- i
> titions have been sent in by the res- j
} idents on Carlisle street to the town j
[ council. Have these ever been act-;
ed upon? Flies have been more nu-j
> merous ths year than ever before and
the surface closets of the town should
have special attention; still in certain
locations the sanitary cart has
allowed two months to elapse bet
tween visits. These closets should
. be visited during the summer months
every week. As to the neglect of i
[ ditches, the railroad banks, etc., we |
will not speak in this artcle, but pray j
: to the members of the council and to ,
1 the board of health to awaken and j
r get to work. Lives are too precious
1 and health too valuable an asset to
neglect so important a matter.

NEGRO KILLED AT CHURCH.
Sank Williams Slays Willie Faust at
Sweet Home.
Another homicide was added to
Bamberg county's credit last Sunday.
This time it occurred at a church?
the Sweet Home church, a few miles
from Bamberg, and Sank Williams is
accused of the killing. Willie Faust
is the dead negro. The killing occurred
Sunday, and the inquest was
held over Faust's body on Monday,
the verdict of the jury being that
Faust came to his death from pistol
shot wounds at the hands of Sank
Wiliams. Williams has been arrested
and is now in jail awaiting trial.
The papers in the case ->n file in
the clerk of court's office reveal very
little about the killing. Two witnesses,
Bertha Nelson and Clara Kellev,
both testified that they saw Williams
shoot Faust in a row at the church.
As to what they were rowing about,
there was no evidence, and The Herald
has not heard any of the circumstances.
Clara Kelley, in addition to testifying
that she saw Williams shoot Faust
twice, adds that she saw him pull
his pistol out of his pocket and exclaim
to Faust, "I have got you,"
and then fire.
Dr. Robert Black, who performed
the autopsy, testified that he found
two, wounds in the dead negro's body,
one in the chest, which penetrated
the lungs, and was sufficient to produce
death; and another in the right
arm at the elbow.

Thanks Bamberg County.
Chairman J. C. Guilds, of the war
savings committee for Bamberg
county, is in receipt of a letter from
Hon. R. G. Rhett, State director of
the national war savings committee,
extending his thanks to the people of
the county for the county's magnificent
response to the call for pledges
during the campaign. The letter follows:
"Prof. J. C. Guilds, Bamberg, S. C.
"Dear Mr. Guilds:?I want to
thank you personally and officially
for the magnificent results which you
have secured in Bamberg county.
Your organization has been splendidly
worked out and has done its work
in a remarkable way. You have inspired
them with your enthusiasm
and the results must be as gratifying
to you as to all of us.
"Kindly extend to your workers
the heartfelt thanks of myself and
this entire office. They have done a
hard job at a difficult time and done
it exceedingly well. Sincerely and
gratefully yours, R. G. RHETT,
' "State Director."
To Colored Red Cross Contributors.
To all the colored subscribers in
Bamberg and community to the
second Red Cross war fund:?x
wish to call your attention to the fact
that each subscriber who has not already
paid his or her first installment
to the Red Cross fund can pay
the said installment at L. C. Stephens's
market, H. W. Johnson and
Bro., or the Royal Cafe, or to Mr.
W. D. Rhoad, who is treasurer for
this fund.
No one should fail to pay his installments
to the Red Cross fund.
The boys are giving their lives for
their country and for us. Let us do
all we can to encourage them because
it is right. The pastors at Bath, Mt.
Carmel M. E. church and Thankful
Baptist church are cordially asked
to remind the subscribers at these
places who have given to this impartant
fund that installments are
now due, and assist the collector in
getting the installments as near as
possible from each subscriber.

Tomatoes Dying.
"What can I do for my tomatoes?
They are just beginning to bloom
and are dying. I pulled one up and
could see nothing wrong."
Your soil is doubtless infected with
the Fusarium fungus. Of course you
can see nothing with the naked eye
till the plant succumbs. There is no
way to check or prevent this disease.
The only thing that does any good is
to save seed from plants that live
where others around them die, and
thus breed resistant strains. The
agricultural department at Washington,
D. C., has been doing this, and I
suppose will give you some of the
seed if application is made to the Bureau
of Plant Industry. I would suppose
that in Alabama you would have
ripe fruit by June. If you can still
get plants you can set some out in
the fields where the soil may not be
infected.?Progressive Farmer.

The Bamberg county Local Board
calls attention to the fact that the
registrants named below, who regisered
on June 5, have not returned
their questionnaires. Inasmuch .as
the time for returning has already expired,
it is suggested that it would be
wise for them to look after this matter
at once:

of the United States."
The funeral train reached Trenton
at 1:30 o'clock and the funeral services
were held at 4 o'clock in the
Presbyterian church, which stands in
a small grove of oaks in full view of
the town and the senator's residence.
The ministers who conducted the
services were the Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse,
the Rev. E. C. Bailey, and
the Rev. B. R. Turnipseed. Services
were held both in the church and at
the grave-in the Trenton cemetery.
Magnificient floral decorations
banked both the casket and the rostrum
of the church. These came
from President and Mrs. Wilson, the
members of the South Carolina delegation
in congress, the senate of the
United States, Secretary Daniels, the
Trenton Masonic lodge and countless
friends from different places.
Hundreds at Cemetery.
At the cemetery where many hundreds
of persons had gathered who
could not gain entrance to the little
village church, the total crowd numbering
about 3,000, the services were
concluded and mother earth fell softly
upon all that was mortal of the
aged senator. Loving hands then
tenderly placed flowers upon the newly
made grave andv the family repaired
to the residence just beyond
the little grove. Distinguished citizens
acted as pallbearers.
It was the desire of the members
of the special committee from Washington
to return there as quickly as
possible to their work, therefore the
special train which brought them
down started on its way back north
immediately and will make a quick
run back to the national capitol.
Among other well known South
Carolinians who were present at the
funeral were: Governor Manning,
Ex-Gov. Sheppard, Paymaster John
Shuler, a son-in-law of the deceased
senator; Paymaster George W. Stackhouse,
Charles W. Galloway, United
States civil service commissioner, and
Ex-Gov. Heyward.
Christie Benet Succeeds Tillman.
Columbia, July 6.?Governor Manning
1 late this afternoon appointed
Christie Benet, of Columbia, United
States Senator to succeed Senator
^"P ill TV* O Y\
x litiiiau.
In appointing Mr. Benet the Governor
said:
"My responsibility in appointing
Senator Tillman's successor impresses
me deeply. The occasion calls for
a man of full physical and mental
vigor who can present to the people
of our State the grave issues of the
war and the supreme necessity that
every sacrifice should be made, who
can gain for the government the full
support of our citizens, and who
knows and can explain the colossal l
task that confronts President Wilson
and his assistants. I havp appointed
one whose sterling Americanism
undoubted, who is familiar with
the plans and needs of the admin- j
istration, and who will stand four!
square and undismayed in support
of the war and the successful and
forcible conclusion of it.
"I have appointed Christie Benet,
of Columbia. He had his papers prepared
to enlist in the army, and had
notified the proper military officers
to that effect, but I am justified in
appointing him by the valuable work
he can do."
Mr. Benet, who is thirty-eight
years of age and a son of former
Judge W. C. Benet, was a star football
player at the University of Virginia
and afterwards coached the line of
the Virginia eleven. He has been engaged!
in the practice of law at Columbia
for a number of years.
Tobacco Barn Burned.
Last Friday Mr. C. R. Brabham
had the misfortune to lose his tobacco
barn by fire. The house had been
filled with green tobacco, and in the
process of curing, which is done by
means of heating the barn by a furnace,
in some way the tobacco caught
on fire. The barn and contents were
a total loss. The barn and the tobacco
in it were valued at between
four and five hundred dollars, but
Mr. Brabham's heaviest loss is because
of the fact that his tobacco
is ripening fast, and he has no barn
in which to cure it. This being Bamberg's
first season in tobacco, there
are no barns except those constructed
by individual planters.
