W)t ^Bamberg ^eralb Thursday, Nov* 28,1918. SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Annual union Thanksgiving services were held at the Baptist church Thursday evening. Quite a few new cases of Spanish influenza have occurred in the city recently, all of whom are recovering. Cotton ginned in Bamberg county prior tb Nov. IS amounted to 27,796 bales, compared with 22,870 to the same date last year. * Ernest Fairclotli, of Embree, this county, wis reported in the casualty list from France published Thursday morning as being dead of wounds. Private Julious Holman, a draftee from Denmark, this county, was reported in the overseas casualty list of Nov. 22, as having died of disease j in France. The studnts of Carlisle school have now received their military equipment, and present a very "warlike" appearance. Strict military rules are enforced in the student body. Thanksgiving day in Bamberg was a rather gloomy one. Rain started in early in the morning, and cortinued pretty well all day. The rain | prevented many hunting parties from | t going out. Mr. A. J. Huntef presented The Herald a few days ago with some fine fall Irish potatoes and a quart of nice cane syrup. In making syrup Mr. Hunter is an expert. He says v he made a nice crop of fall potatoes this year. The State insurance commissioner has apportioned to the different counties of the State the sum of $46,250.42 additional license fees paid on insurance premiums from June 1 to June 30. Bamberg's share is $473.82. x Letters have been received in the city from Private Leighton Rentz, who was wounded several weeks ago by a shrapnel in the leg. After spending some time in a hospital in * France he was tranferred about two weeks ago to England for recupera.tion. This probably indicates that * - ? 1. i i I He win soon oe nomewaru uuuuu.

C., to move to Ehrhardt to be here, to see, I feel and write up the happenings ieach week and give us a creditable I show in our worthy pape"ri\The Bamberg Herald. Everybody here that can write says, "I haven't got time," and those that have time are no good. We expect Mr. Brabham too to be a busy man but as he has passed "the sleepy" stage in life, may be j he could do this writing to while | away the time these long nights, until time to hit the "Hay." We want and need some one to write and that can represent the city, and if Mr. Brabham can't come who is going to do it? The .weather man got busy last week and broke the "dry spell' all to pieces. Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning; a good rain fell. It rained slowly 'but was real rain and seemed to wet things especially the dust on Main street, which was rolling in clouds. At last the "Flu" is entirely gone, not a case to be heard of. In its wake it certainly left a deep and sad wound, one that will take years to heal and then in some places there *vill be a large scar. All the churches are now holding their regular meet| ings, the school is back at work again jand now in the new school auditorium?a $10,000.00 building. The Royal theatre reopened last Thursday, to the enjoyment of the movie lovers. During the epidemic it was a common sight to see two to three coffins leaving town at once. The Carolina Gin Company is breaking all records this season in turning out the "baled staple." Their first season (1912) they ginned about fifteen hundred bale6, increasing each season until this seasnn sr? far thev have sunned about five thousand bales. Plenty people in town now every day, especially on Saturdays, and everything is very orderly and quiet. Nevertheless the chief says that he is looking for a little rough about the time "sou-cat" (sow cat) has time to. sour good. Miss Grace Moore spent the weekend with relatives in Ba^mberg, returning home Saturday afternoon accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. E. H. Duncan. Speaking of the people profiteerj ing from the war, reminds me of an | old merchant that I heard of durj ing the civil war (and he lived in South Carolina, too.) He required all of his clerks to board at his house and made it a rule for all to attend his family prayer each night just before retiring. Just before .prayer would start he would ask: "John, did you put rocks in the coffee?" Yes, sir. Henry,^did you put sand in the sugar? Yes, sir. Then he woulcl ask MoSe, the cow boy, did you put water in the milk? Yas, suh. Alright, you all come on in to prayer?and he wound up by saying "May God bless you my boys." Say, did you see John's lip how it was tooched out last week when The Herald did not come? Well, he was mad and disappointed. The lyceum attractions were pulled off Saturday evening in the town hall, but owing to the cold and wet weather the crowd was not as large as usual.

Will be gone about two weeks. Thursday is a national holiday, "Thanksgiving." We all have a lot to be thankful for, but some of us are not going to be able to give any thanks over "Dat Turkey." JEF. 4 Ehrhardt, Nov. 20.?The young ladies are now wearing their dresses a bit longer, because "Jack Frost" is on the ground looking around in the town. We had an awfully big gathering in the grove back of the Lutheran church last Sunday afternoon. Owe it all to Rev. Felder's ability to advertise on short notice. Several speakers, one a French lieutenant, from Camp Jackson. He gave a glorious description of the war and the brutal manner in which the Germans (dogs as he called them) treated the women and children of France and Belgium. A nicfe amount was given tVio n'ar u-r?rlrprs Some of our vvr ?? 4** v ??? w. ?- ? people -had a real "fat" purse. What and where is our city's correspondent? They gave a., few good letters and for some reason stopped. Friend, shake a fist and let us have some more. The war is over, The "Flu" is gone; Makes us all glad that We were born. We had quite an electrical storm last Sunday about 6:30 p. m. Struck Mrs. J. W. Priester's clothes line, killed a chicken for Mr. Joe Copeland and knocked down and stunned several of the ladies and children | that were near. The rain was very Smoak-Conkiin. Georgetown, S. C.f Nov. 27.?A marriage of much interest to theii many friends throughout the State was that of Miss Margaret Smoak, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Smoak, of Georgetown, to Mr. 0. R. Conklin, of Charleston, on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The ceremony was solemnized at the Methodist parsonage by the Rev. L. L. Bedenbaugh, with only a few friends present. The young couple left on the 5:25 train for Florida where they will spend some time. On their return they will be at home at No. 70 Van* derhorst St., Charleston. We carry fuses for automobile lighting systems; also "Spot Lights" and other accessories. FaulknerI FUpr.trio SorvioA Co.?adv.

Our young men have rung "Old Liberty Bell" again and now they will be marching home and if all tales are true there are to be some / "wedding bells" ringing pretty soon. There is one "sport" down here that seems to have a choking sensation that overcomes him. He takes his girl out in the auto with the expectation each time of making a proposal ?but can't get any further than a cough. He has already burned up one hundred gallons of gas for this purpose. How will it be when he has to see papa? If he ever gets that far, something like this, I guess. John and his girl had things fixed between themselves, but she insisted that he see papa. He kept putting it off until one Sunday afternoon he he went out to the barn with the "old man" to feed the cattle. John thought now was his time while the "old man" was getting the basket of corn. He was swallowing trying to kpep the lump out of his throat and after some time he managed to say, Mr. Johnston, er-er-er?. The old man looked up and aksed, what do you want? Please, sir, give me a chew of terbacker. JEF. NOTICE. All persons are forbidden to hunt, haul wood or trash or trespass in any other shape or form on our lands. No permission granted. D. M.
