SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Prof. S. A. Merchant, formerly of
this city, has been elected principal
of the Cheraw public schools, at Cheraw.
Mrs. E. C. Bruce received a telegram
Tuesday morning trom her
son, Lieut. Edwin C. Bruce, announcing
his safe arrival overseas.
Mr. W. P. Herndon was operated
on last Saturday at a hospital in
Charleston. His friends will be delighted
to know that he is now doing
nicely.
The friends of Mr. Fritz Kilgus
f will learn with much regret that he
is suffering with appendicitis. He
was carried Monday to Charleston
for an operation at a hospital there.
The county campaign meeting was
held at Denmark Tuesday. Probably
the smallest crowd of the campaign
attended the meeting, it being estimated
that not more than 85 voters
were present. About the usual
speeches were made, and nothing out
of the ordinary occurred.
Bamberg's first bale of cotton was
ginned yesterday moaning by the
Cotton Oil Co., for Jesse Gray, a tenant
on Mr. J. M. Grimes's place near
the city. Gray is a progressive colored
farmer, and he sold the first
bale on the Bamberg market last
year. The bale weighed 560 pounds,
and brought an attractive price.
Mr. G. Moye Dickinson recently
lost a valuable calf, which died der
spite all efforts to save it. After
death, to satisfy his curiosity, Mr.
Dickinson dissected the body and
found in the calf's stomach a regulation
size baseball, and this was
doubtless the cause of death. In some
way the calf swallowed the ball, and
the foreign object defying all at- j
tempts at digestion produced fatal,
results.
The last half of last week and the
first days of this week constituted
the hottest spell Bamberg has ex-J
perienced in some time. The very!
hot wave following so closely the
wet spell has caused a great deal of1
damage to the cotton crop. The cotton
plants have been shedding pretty j
badly for the past few days, and this
wave will without doubt seriously deteriorate
the condition of the crop
in this secticn.
Earning His Fee.
In Mississippi they tell of a young
lawyer retained to defend a man
charged with the theft of a pig. The
young man seemed determined to j
convince the jury that he was born j
to shine, and accordingly he delivered !
the following exordium:
"May it please the court ahd gentlemen
of the jury, while Europe is:
bathed in blood; while classic Greece j
is struggling for her rights and lib-!
erties and trampling the unhallowed
altars of the breadless infidels to
dust; wrhile the United States, enter\
ing the war, shines forth the brightest
orb in the political sky?I, with
due diffidence, rise to defend the
cause of this humble hog thief."?

A humble man," who one July afternoon
in 1914, left at two hours' notice
his Parisian shop or workshop,
or his ripe wheat fields, or his ripening
vines, writes Ernest Dimnet, in
the Atlantic, for a military depot he
had never liked and had managed to
tolerate only because soldiering, and
all things soldierly, are lovable to the
Frenchman, and take on halo in his
imagination; was packed to the Belgian
frontier; made the acquaint-ance

Exhibited German Relics.
Mr. Rowland Campbell, of Anderson,
recently returned from France, |
gave a lecture at Carlisle auditor-:1
ium last Friday evening for the benefit
of the local Red Cross chapter.
Unfortunately a very small crowd
was in attendance, and those who did
not hear the lecture missed a treat.
Mr. Campbell enlisted in the French
army when war was first declared,
and he saw several years of actual
trench fighting.
Mr. Campbell exhibited a number j
of relics he had collected in trips
through No Man's Land, including
a German machine gun, helmet, gas
mask, bayonet, etc. An interesting
part of the entertainment was the j
| exhibition of a large number of ste-j
rioptican slides made from snap- j
shots taken by himself during his j
service in the trenches. These slides j
depicted in realistic manner what i
j modern warfare is, and some of the j
j pictures were so weird that theyi
i would make one shudder to look at
them.
Mr. Campbell was sent home bei
cause of a serious illness, from which
he is now recovering'. As soon as he
is able, he will go into the great conflict
again; but this time he will be
one of Uncle Sam's army.

I Reunion of Co. G.
The annual reunion of Company
G was held last Thursday at Bethesda
church. As usual a large crowd
was in attendance. Company G, a
famous organization, is growing thin
in its ranks, only about thirteen survivors
now being alive. It is stated
that five or six were in attendance
upon the reunion last Thursday,
Two addresses were made by Col.
F. X. K. Bailev. of Greenwood, and
Rev. Geo. P. White, of this city. The
addresses dealt largely with the problems
of the present war. Both
speakers spoke in the highest terms
of the valor, bravery and patriotism
of the soldiers of the Lost Cause.
A magnificent basket dinner was
served on the grounds plentifully
to the large crowd. Excellent music
;added much to the enjoyment of the
occasion.

SAW PARIS AIR RAID.
I
Olar Boy Also Saw One German i
Brought to the Earth.
The following letter written by Sergeant
J. B. Barker, of Olar, was recently
received by his father:
"Dear Folks: Guess you think I
have decided not to write any more,
but I have been on a trip for the past
eight days and have just returned.
Was called away very suddenly and
didn't have time to write before leaving.
Traveled over some of the finest
parts of France and my opinion of
France certainly has changed since
taking the trip. Was on the road
eight days and visited some historic
places of course. I had the pleasure
of stopping in the town where Joan
of Arc was born. I also had quite a
long stay in the wonderful city of
Paris.
"I also had quite an exciting experience
while I was away. Was in
an air raid for one hour and 19 minutes.
I have been more excited and
then, too, I have felt safer. It was
quite an experience and one I shall
never forget for I saw some wonderful
things and I was so fascinated
that I forgot my danger and stood
out in the street and watched them
fight.
"One of the Germans was brought
down in flames, and I don't suppose
he will murder any innocent women i
and children for quite a time. Can
tell you more about it when I see
you."

Confederate Reunion.
Col. J. R. Owens, commander of
Camp Jenkins, No. 627, U. C. V., is
in receipt of a letter from N. B. Forrest,
general secretary of the U-. C.
V., advising him that Director General
McAdoo has issued an order instructing
all railroads to make a
special rate of one cent a mile to the
annual reunion to be held at Tulsa,
Okla., on Sept. 24-27. However,
tickets at this rate will be restricted
to members of the U. C. V., members
of the sons of veterans, a member
of their families, and to members
of the Southern Memorial association
or a member of their families.
Identification certificates will be
forwarded to the local commander.
In order to avail themselves of. this
rate, it will be necessary for all veterans
or members of their families
who desire to take advantage of this
rate to communicate at once with
Col. Owens, as a certificate of identification
will be necessary to secure
this rate.
A fund of $100,000 is being raised
in Tulsa for tne purpose of entertaining
the reunion. An attendance
of 100,000 is being looked for. Ar
rangements for the free care of from
5,000 to 10,000 veterans are being
made. President Wilson has approved
of the holding of the reunion as
an example of patriotism while the
nation is at war.

to furnish 3,250 white and colored
draftees for army service. These

You will please start The Herald

be appreciated for I am about 1,500

me feel a little more at home. There
are about 16,000 men in camp now
