SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Notice, is given that the Red Cross
work rooms are now open and the
ladies of the city are earnestly urged
to come and help with the work in
hand.
Mr. J. S. J. Faust has resigned
his position as clerk of the Local
Board of Bamberg county, and Mr.
M. G. Cooner has been employed as
his successor.
Mrs. E. A. Smoak received a card
last week announcing the safe arrival
overseas of her son, Mr. Marion
G. Smoak, U. S. N., this being his
third trip across.
Tho PrariMs Marion Bamberg chap
ter, D. A. R., will meet with Mrs.
McCrackin and Mrs. Moye next Tuesday
afternoon at 5 o'clock. A full
; attendance is desired.
/A message was received Monday
k from Lieut. X O'H. Sanders saying
" that he had arrived safely overseas.
Lieut. Sanders, who Is commissioned
i *
as an aviator, is a brother of Dr.
f C. A. Sanders, of this city,
v Mr. N. P. Smoak Tuesday received
, a letter from his son, Claude Smoak,
j in which Claude stated he received
t
The Herald regularly, and that he
was mighty glad to get it?even if it
is pretty old when it reaches him.
Last Saturday morning some little
stir was created by a beggar in
front of the postoffice. Becausewa
. passer-by failed to cough up when
asked, the fellow became quite insolent,
whereupon the mayor informed
him he had better move on. The beggar
retorted that he didn't think he
would get oVer $900 in Bamberg anyway,
so he would get away willingly.
The postmaster requests The Herald
to ask the patrons of the post?
. . ?_x J. XV
omce not to mierruyi, tuw iuiw uming
the "morning hours when mails
are being distributed. The force is
very short on account of the war,
and it makes a bad situation much
worse to be constantly interrupted
by requests of all sorts from the buy'
ing of stamps to handing out mail.
If the patrons will cooperate to the
extent of waiting until the windows
open, the business of the postoffice
,can be expedited to much better advantage.
Has Not Fixed Cotonseed Price.
The impression prevails among
many farmers and others that the
government has fixed the price of
cottonseed at $57 per ton. This is
- - a mistaken idea. The government
has not fixed the price of seed at all,
as the following letter from the State
food administrator will show:
"Mr. A. M. Brabham, County Food
{ . Administrator, Bamberg, S. C.
"Dear sir:?The food administration
has not fixed the price of cottonseed.
I cannot say what is a fair
price until the price of oil is settled.
As soon as the price of oil is decided
upon, the price of seed should become,
staple. Yours very truly,
"WILLIAM ELLIOTT,
"State Food Administrator."
It is understood that the cottonseed
crushers have agreed upon a
certain price, $57 per ton, we be.
lieve, but the government has nothing
to do with this action.
" Local Board News.
t . - -' :
I
The following men were sent on
, Sunday by the Local Board to the
State College, Orangeburg, for technical
training:
J. D. Kennedy and Angus Generett.
The following were sent Sunday to
Camp Jackson:
Hiram Johnson, Samuel K. Moody,
Edgar Willis, William Grant, Alonzo
Walker.
The following white draftees were
sent Wednesday to Camp Jackson:
Frederick Earl Summers and Maxwell
Earl Rizer.
Byrnes's Vote at Home Box.
It is interesting to note the vote
received by each of the candidates
for congress at the Aiken box. Aiken
is the home of three of the candidates,
Congressman Byrnes, Mr. T.
G. Croft, and Mr. G. L. Toole. As to
how these gentlemen stShd in the
estimation of their home folks is told
very briefly, but very pointedly, in
the following figures, which indicate
me numuer ui votes eaeii receiveu 111
, the city of Aiken:
J. F. Byrnes ^281
T. G. Croft .... .v 89
N. G. Evans 9
G. L. Toole - 117
All of Mr. Byrnes's opponents received
at the Aiken city box 215
votes, to 281 for Congressman
Byrnes. The people in Aiken are in
better position to know the candidates
than anybody else, and Congressman
Byrnes has every right to
feel proud of the fact that his home
folks have confidence in him.

The grand jury completed its work
for the session on Tuesday and returned
the following report:
"We have passed on all bills handed
us by the solicitor.
"We have visited the various offices
and find them in neat condition.
We did not examine the books of the
officer^ as this was done at a previous
court by an accountant.
"We visited the jail and found it
very neat and clean, and wish to compliment
Mrs. Dickinson on the sanitary
conditions existing. We found
a small amount of repairing necessary
and think the inner walls should
be painted as well as the roof, and
we recommend that the proper official
be instructed to have this work
done.
"We sent a committee to the chain
gang and they report conditions favorably
and seemingly all prisoners
were being treated well and justly.
"The committee to investigate the
office of the late Judge G. P. Harmon
have had the books audited and
beg leave to report that the auditor
found several errors, two of which, '
we understand have been settled up
by the administrator of Judge Harmon's
estate, $55.89 being paid to
Probate Judge Brabham, receipt for 1
which is hereto attached, $92.00 we :
understand has been paid to Mr. (
Jennings, treasurer, but owing to Mr.
Jennings's absence, we are unable to
secure a receipt. We attach hereto !
full report of auditor, and we sug- ]
gest that this committee be discharg- ed.
"Several minor _ matters were
brought to our attention and after
'thorough investigation, dismissed. <
"We thank the court and all the ]
officials for assisting us in the discharge
of our duty."

Colored Health Meeting.
A meeting of the colored people in
the interest of better health conditions
was held at the court house
last Sunday afternoon, Rev. H. H.
Matthews, chairman of the colored
council of defense, presiding. The
meeting was attended by about 250
colored people and a few white visitors,
and there was manifested considerable
interest in the various
phases of public health discussed at
the meeting by the speakers.
The meeting was opened with praysr
by Rev. R. H. Jones, followed by
scripture reading by Rev. L. W. Williams.
Addresses were made by Prof.
J. C. Guilds, chairman of the county
council of defense; Rev. Dr. Dillon,
i prominent colored preacher of Columbia,
and Dr. Vance W. Brabham,
public health officer of Orangeburg.
The address of Dr. Brabham was
the feature of the meeting. He is
me of the best informed men in the
State on public health questions, and
it is believed that, much benefit will
be derived as a result of the meeting
tield Sunday.
Puts Ban on Sunday Autoing.
.
Last Sunday was the beginning of
the ban on Sunday joy riding in automobiles.
The government several
days ago sent out a request to the
public requesting that everybody abstain
from riding in automobiles for
pleasure on Sunday. There was a
marked decrease in the number of
pleasure riders about the city, and it
is evident that qjuite a number of
people left their cars in their garages
throughout the day. Notwithstanding
this patriotic action on the
part of many citizens, there were a
great many who evidently disregarded
the request and were out as usual.
The request was made for the purpose
of conserving gasoline, which is
becoming scarcer every day. it is
probably the intention of the government
to simply make this request at
this time, and try out the experiment,
as in the case of sugar and flour. It
is to be hoped that the request will
be followed more closely than the request
to conserve sugar and flour,
however.

PREPARE FOR REGISTRATION.
All Men 18 to 45 Will Register
Thursday, Septeml>er 12th.
The Local Board of this county has
arranged for the registration of all
men, not already registered, between
the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, in
accordance with the man-power bill
recently passed by congress. Registration
committees have beeh appointed
to conduct the registration
at various places in the county, as
shown below. The hours of registration
will be from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m.,
and all parties may register at the
most convenient 'point, regardless of
their place of residence. It is very
important that all parties register,
as failure carries with it a serious
penalty. All white persons should
acquaint the colored people especially

Death of Little Frances Utsey.
Frances, the seven year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred A. Utsey,
died Tuesday morning at a hospital
in Charleston, after an illness of
about a week. The little'girl was
stricken on Tuesday of last week, and
was carried to the hospital last Sunday
afternoon, where she was operated
on immediately for appendicitis,
i The nnornh'nn was annarentlv pntire
ly successful, and the friends and
relatives of the little girl were most
hopeful for a quick recovery. However,
Tuesday morning she suffered
a sudden sinking spell and died in a
few minutes.
The body was brought to Bamberg
Tuesday night, and interment
occurred in South End cemetery, the
services being conducted by Rev. R.
H. Jones and Rev. G. P. White. Many
lovely flowers were laid on the grave
by friends of the little girl.
Frances was a sweet little girl and
was the idol of scores of friends
among both the grown-ups and the
little ones. Her death was a most
sad one not only for the bereaved
family but for all who knew her. The
sympathy of the entire town goes out
to the heart-brcken parents and members
of the family.
Clear Pond :100 Per Cent. O. K.
Clear Pond gets the banner in this
county of being the strongest antiBlease
box. People down that way
have no time with candidates with
question marks around their names.
They went all the way for Dial. There
were eighteen votes at the Clear
Pond box and Mr. Dial got them all.
The Clear Pond voters would not
? ? ? - ?* - am D?'aa nrntrA i
even compromise 011 xviee, uui &arc
the total vote to the Laurens candidate.
Bamberg county also has the distinction
of having given a mapority
vote against C. L. Blease at every
box in the county. Midway came
the nearest to splitting even. At
this box Blease got 10, Dial 10, and
Rice 2. Thus the box went against
Blease 10 to 12, and saved the county
from having a single Blease box
in the primary.
Two years ago Bamberg gave the
greatest percentage in the State
against Blease. Apparently we have
lost this honor this year. Hampton
seems to have walked away with the
honors.
Pension Board Elected.
A meeting of the Confedrate veterans
was held at the court house Monday
for the purpose of electing a pension
board. The following were
elected to serve for the ensuing year:
J. D. Copeland, chairman; J. B.
Kearse, secretary; J. D. Rowell; J.

J. J. Cleckley, physician.
A meeting of Camp Jenkins, No.
627 U. C. V., was held Monday after
the regular business was dispatched.
Comrade J. D. Felder offered the following
resolution: That $25 be appropriated
for the purchase of war
savings stamps, which was unanimously
adopted. Commander Owens
was requested to carry out the resolution.
Miraculously Kscuped Death.
It appears that nothing short of a
miracle could have saved Mr. H.
Fred Free, a local automobile mechanic,
from death in a collision last
Wednesday morning. As it was he
sustained painful injuries, but he is
now rapidly recovering. Mr. Free
was driving a Chevrolet car into the
city, towing a Ford at the time in for
repairs. As he came to the crossing
of the Southern spur track leading
to the cotton mill, a freight train
shifting a carload of coal into place
bore down on- him, appearing from
behind a house near the crossing so
suddenly that it was impossible to
escape a collision. The rear end of
the freight backed into the car,
throwing the machine about 25 feet
into a bed of coal adjoining the city
power house. Mr. Free was extricated
from beneath the wreckage. One
i arm was broken and other injuries
were sustained. There was hardly a
whole piece of the machine left. Of
the four wheels, three were completely
smashed, the body was splintered
almost beyond recognition. One
freak about the wreck was that although
the car was a splintered
wreck, one of the glass wind shields
was not broken. Mr. Free was hurried
to a physician and his injuries
given treatment. Mr. Paul Matheny
was in the Ford car being towed into
town. In order to escape being
wrecked, he ran his car into a nearby
tree. This snapped the cable and
released the car from the Chevrolet
and doutless saved both Mr. Matheny
and the Ford from serious injury.
Letter from Sergt. G. I. Rentz.
Mrs. P. G. Rhoad, of Branchville,
recently/received a letter from her
son, Sergt. George Irby Rentz, acquainting
her of the fact that he haa
been slightly wounded in action, and
giving some details of his hurt and
the splendid attention he is receiving
at the base hospital. His letter will
be read with interest by his many
friends in this section:
"Base Hospital No. 15.
"July 30, 1918.
"My Dear Mother: It has been
about two or three weeks since I've'
written to you, but if you kept up
with the war news since the 14th of
July you can readily see why I have
not written. We have been making:

"Haven't heard a word from 'Buck'
(19-year-old brother who is now with
the military police of the Thirtieth
division) yet. Don't know whether
he is up at the lively front or not.
Have been expecting to see some of
the boys from home at least, but
have not., Guess I will run across
him some day when I am least expecting
to see him.
"I am in a base hospital at present.
Have beelThere since the 26th.
Think if I hadn't been wounded exactly
when I was I would have had
the best chance of my life to get a few
'Boches,' but perhaps I will soon be
back with my company and then I
can get a 'crack' at them. Don't
you worry about the attention that I
am getting either, for it is indeed
first dass. In fact I don't see how
they could furnish any more comfort
than they do regarding the circumstances.
We have American nurses
and doctors and it is needless to say
what they are doing for their country,
in fact I did not know anything
about an army hospital or first aid
station until I had an occasion to
visit them. We were given hot tea
and chocolate at the first aid station.
And j;hen at the hospital-we got the
same thing plus smokes for the boys
that smoke, besides -magazines and
books furnished by the Red Cross.
They certainly do try to make it as
comfortable for us as possible.

Was no time to laugh, but occasionally

We are faring fine and in the best

Glad to see the Bamberg county
people take such great interest in
helping the government, and we boys
over here will do our best to help
win this war. Sincerely,
