SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Mr. James A. Vernon has been appointed
postmaster at Sycamore. Mr.
Vernon is a former resident of Bamberg,
and has many friends here.
It is stated that work on the paving
of Main street is likely to be commenced
any day. The time limit for
the completion of the work is 110
working days from July i<?, ai wuk-u
time the contract was awarded.
The police force of tlie town is engaged
in rounding up "delinquent"
(Togs. All canines in town must be
provided with tags, and the tags cost
$2.00 apiece. After the first of August
a penalty will be attached, it is
4
stated.
Ground was broken this week for
the erection of the $10,000 stable
building for Jones Brothers on Railroad
avenue. The large stable building
is being erected by a Charleston
firm of contractors. The material
is now on the ground and the work
will be pushed rapidly.
The numerous friends and acquaintances
of Dr. X. F. Kirkland, one of
( the county's veteran citizens, will
loom with dppn regret that he is
AVC* A JUL V* AVM w
quite ill at his home near Buford's
bridge. The doctor's health has been
on the decline for some weeks. It is
sincerely hoped that he will soon recover.
# The county has been virtually
flooded with water during the past <
week or so. Rains have fallen in torrents
every day, and the damage to
cotton and other crops, according to
the farmers, is enormous. The rivers
and streams of the State are at
high water stage and the rains continue.
According to reports from various
parts of the county, there is likely
to be a shortage in all crops this year.
The grain crops turned out only fairly
well. The early corn crop appears
to have been damaged by dry weather,
and the present wet season is apparently
seriously damaging cotton.
Cotton is also damaged in some sections
by the red spider.
It must be rather nerve racking to
possess cotton now. The price first
goes up a cent or two a pound and
then tumbles down about as fast as
it rose. There has been a gradual
> advance in price, however, and usually
when a material advance is
made there follows a decline, but
not quite to as low a level as it was
9 previously. Quite a great deal of
cotton i? being held in this county.
The Herald learns with a great
deal of pleasure that M~. A. M. Denbow,
president of the Peoples Bank,
; * *will have building operations commenced
in a short time on a bandsome
residence,, which he will have
erected on the lot nexi to Dr. George
^ F. Hair, on Railroad avenue, wfticn
he purchased some time ago. "Work
will commence in a few days, possibly
this week. We trust that others
will follow Mr. Denbow, as more
homes are needed in Bamberg now.
According to published reports,
there is likely to be a serious coal
shortage the coming winter. It appears
that the coal mine^ at the present
time are able to supply the country,
but that so ihany people failing
to order their next winter's supply
in the summer is very likely to cause
a congestion during the early months
of winter when the demand will be
so much greater. It will probably
be wise for Bamberg people to order
their coal now while they can get it.
Mrs. Pauline DeWitt, of Blackville,
announces the engagement of her
daughter, Xanaline. to Prof. Z, L.
- Madden, of Laurens. Miss DeWitt
was formerly one of Prof. Madden's
pupils while he was superintendent
of the Blackville school. The marriage
will take place in August. Prof.
Madden is well known and has a
large circle of friends here, having
taught for some time in Carlisle
school. Miss DeWitt has been a frequent
visitor to Bamberg and has
many friends here.
Col. Owens Very HI.
The many friends of Col. J. R.
Owens, a prominent citizen of Bamberg
and an old Confederate veteran,
will be pained to learn that he continues
to be very ill at his home at the
Y-- ^ ^ i i
Maynower inn. ^oi. vjwens nas ueeu
in very bad health for many months,
and while he has frequently rallied,
owing to his strong will, his condition
has been gradually growing
worse for some weeks. Col. Owens
is one of Bamberg's fine old men, and
his genial smile and cheerful greetings
on the streets are deeply missed
by his hundreds of acquaintances.

FOUR KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Mr. N. J. Thomas, Three Hands and
Two Mules Meet Death.
The entire community was shocked
to learn of the tragic death near
Cope of Mr. X. J. Thomas, one of the
most prominent citizens of this section,
and three of his colored workmen,
which occurred on Mr. Thomas's
place last Wednesday afternoon during
an electric storm. The colored
men killed were Henry Moody, Jeff
Henderson and Ernest Curry.
Mr. Thomas was in a field at the
time the storm came up and he and
his negro hands had started to the
iinnco wprp a limit a. half mile
11VU OV i liV,' V. V w v
from Mr. Thomas's home in a twohorse
wagon when they were struck
by a bolt of lightning. All four occupants
of the wagon and the team
of mules were instantly killed by the
bolt.
The tragic incident was witnessed
by some tenants in a house a few
hundred feet away, who spread the
news. Dr. Stuckey was phoned for
from Cope, but nothing could be
done as the men were instantly killed.
The colored men were all working
on Mr. Thomas's plantation, and one
of them was operating a farm for
Mr. Thomas.
The funeral services and burial of
Mr. Thomas occurred Thursday. Interment
took place at Oakland burying
ground, in the presence of a
large congregation of friends and
relatives. Many beautiful floral trib
utes were laid upon his last resting
place in token of the high esteem
in which he was held.
In addition to being a prominent
farmer, Mr. Thomas was a director
of the Bank of Cope and the Cope
Telephone exchange and was chairman
of the board of trustees of Union
township. He was a member of
Bethlehem Methodist church. Although
not a resident of the town of
Cope, nearly all of' the business
houses were closed in'respect to him
during the funeral and burial.
Mr. Thomas is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Janie Tatum, and
five children: Nathan Gerard Thomas,
of McCormick; Mrs. T. M. Boulware,
of Barnwell; Misses Avis and
Mary Thomas, and Little Master Dick
Thomas. Two brothers also survive
him: Mr. J. D. Thomas, of Cope, and
Mr. Frank Thomas, of Bell's Cross
Roads.

WORK BEING PUSHED., .
The Denbow Warehouse Will Be One
of Largest in This Section.
Work on the Denbow cotton and
tobacco warehouse is being pushed
very rapidly. The contractor has
the work well under way, and the
large building will soon be completed.
The warehouse is being erected
by the Denbow Warehouse company,
which was recently commissioned by
the secretary of state, and which w?s
organized by Mr. A. M. Denbow. president
of the Peopels Bank of this city.
This warehouse will fill a long felt
need in this city and community. It
will be one of the largest buildings
in this section, and will be used as a
tobacco warehouse in the summer
and as a cotton warehouse in the
winter, thus serving in a two-fold
capacity. As It-tobacco warehouse,
this?concern will dd much to encourage
the planting, and marketing of
tobacco here, an industry which is
in the embryonic stage in Bamberg
county. At the present time the
farmers are placed at th disadvantage
of having to ship their tobacco
to markets elsewhere in the State.
With the tobacco warehouse operating
here next year, and buyers here
from the tobacco* companies. Bamberg
county farme'rs will be saved
hundreds of dollars in transportation
charges, to say nothing of the
fact that frequently tobacco shipped
to other markets is sold at a disadvantage
because of market conditions.
This condition would be regulated
if the tobacco were sold on the
Bamberg market.
As a cotton warehouse, the concern
is giving the people of the community
something that is badly needed,
and which will do much to save
its patrons money in preserving and
insuring: cotton. It is understood
that the cotton warehouse will be
operated by the State warehouse system.

HENRY MURRAY RAY.
Victim of Unfortunate Pistol Duel
Buried Monday Morning.
The body of Henry Murray Ray
was laid to rest Monday morning at
Denmark, in the presence of a large
congregation of sorrowing relatives
and friends. The death of this excellent
young man has shocked the
entire community. Mr. Ray was
shot during a pistol duel on Main
street in Denmark Friday afternoon
between other parties. He was merely
a bystander and was in no way
connected with affair which caused
his death. He died in Columbia Sunday.
Mr. Ray was about 25 years of
age. the son of Sheriff and Mrs.
Shannon G. Ray. of this city. He
had returned from service with the
A. E. F. in France only a few weeks
ago, being" a member of the famous
fighting thirtieth division. He went
Xl. .. ^ ^ Ah a Anrti h a A A 1 a rf
lliruugu suiut; U1 uic ?ic<n.c?i uauica
in history frith his division but came
home without a wound. He was a
quiet unassuming: young man, and
was a hard worker. Upon his return
home he spent only a few days
in resting up. Securing a position
with the insurance agency of* Mr.
Winchester Graham, he has been
employed in Denmark since he was
discharged from the army.
He was carried to a Columbia hospital
for treatment soon after he was
wounded, but as his spinal cord
was almost severed by the bullet
nothing could be done.
LIME CAUSES FIRE.
Water Coming in Contact With Lime
Causes Conflagration.
Fire Sunday night at the stables
of Jones Brothers on Railroad avenue
appears to have had its origin
in a pile of unslaked lime which was
stored in a wooden building at the
rear of the site of the old stable
building preparatory to starting the
erection of the new and modern
brick stable building, ground for
which was broken several days ago.
It appears likely that the heavy rains
Sunday afternoon must have caused
a leakage in the roof of the building
and that the water came in contact
with the lime, starting the conflagration.
The fire alarm was sounded, and,
althmurh thp building was nraoticallv
a complete loss, the fire was easily
brought under control when the water
was turned on by the fife company.
This is the second fire Jones
Brothers have had this year. Fortunately,
for the occasion, the other
buildings were water soaked and
there was very little danger .of the
fire spreading.

Trees With Two Kinds of Peaches.
Mr. H. ?W. Herndon showed The
Herald a panful of peaches Monday
which afforded the casual observer
something of a curiosity. Some of
the peaches were as fine Elbertas as
we ever saw; the others were very
small and not at all attractive. The
curious part of 'it is that they came
from the same tree; in fact Mr. Herndon
says he has some six or eight
trees and each one of them "cut up"
in the same fashion. One side or
part of the trees bore fine luscious
Elberta peaches while the other side
bore the small whitish peaches. The
trees were not grafted, he says, at
least they show no sign of having
been tampered with. He picked up
one each of the specimens and showed
them to Mr. W. E. Free, with the
question: "Did you ever see anything
like that that is of the same
family?" Mr. Free unhesitatingly
replied. "Nothing unless it is Fred
Free and myself," they being brothers,
which expressed it about right,
considering the difference in size.
On Staff of Paper in France.
Mr. McKinley Crosby, of Colleton
county, a former student of Carlisle
school, has the distinction of being
a member of the staff of a newspaper
printed in France. It is "Le Petit
Meridional," or the Soldier Student,
in plain English. Mr. Crosby is editor
of the department of excursions of
the paper, which is quite unique. A
copy of the sheet was handed The
Herald the other day by Col. J. C.
Guilds, headmaster of Carlisle school.
The paper is printed one-half in English
and the other half in French.
The Soldier Student is printed at
, the American University in France-.
This is said to be the biggest univer,
sitv in the entire world. The school
. was instituted by the American gov,
ernment for the benefit of American
soldier boys who cared to pursue their
studies while overseas. Mr. Crosby
, is doing his bit over there, and has
taken the opportunity to proceed with
his studies while awaiting demobilization.

QUADRUPLES CAPITAL.
Capital Stock of Baml>erg Ranking
Co. Increased to $200,000.
The Bamberg Banking Company,
of this city, will celebrate its thirtythird
anniversity by increasing Its
capital stock from $.*>5,000 to 200,000.
This action was decided on at
a stockholders' meeting held Friday.
t A meeting of the stockholders was
held a month ago, called to decide
on whether or not the bank would
increase its capital stock to not more
than $150,000. After a full and free
discussion of the bank's business and
prospects, it was decided to call anI
other meeting to decide on increasi
ing to $200,000.
The increase in capital stock will
be made effective January 2, 1 920,
at which time the new stock will be
issued. The unusual increase was
made necessary on account of the
demand for stock on the part of the
old stockholders and the desire of
the bank to issue stock t-o others desiring
it.
This new move on the part of the
Bamberg Banking company places it
as one of the leading financial institions
in the State, and the largest
in this section. The increased business
of the bank has made it neccessary
to enlarge the capital.
The latest statement of the bank,
made on June 30, showed that this
institution has a capital, surplus and
undivided profits account of $126,724.70,
$55,000 of which is capital
stock. The total deposits of the
bank on the same date amounted to
$525,614.76. The total assets and
liabilities were $652,339.46.

THE RED SPIDER.
County A sent TelJs How to Get Rid
of the Cotton Pest.
The red spider, a dangerous cotton
pest, is doing some damage to cotton
in this county. Several farms
around Denmark have become infested
with the spider, and considerable *
injury has been done in some instances.
County Farm Agent Geo.
R. Briggs has prepared the following,
giving instructions for ridding
cotton fields of the pest:
The red spider outbreak on about
:en farms around Denmark is in some *
instances rather severe and I find
that control measures are not taken
as promptly and as thoroughly as
should be. \
A good spray pump is a practical
necessity and either the barrel pump
or a good compressed air sprayer or
n.wai>aav;i\. sprayer snouia oe usea to
get over the field quickly and thoroughly.
Several solutions have given good
results against the red spider. These
are:
Two per cent, solution of commercial
lime-sulphur tone gallon to 50
gallons water.)
One ounce potassium sulphide to
two gallons water.
Five per cent, solution kerosene
emulsion.
Use the one which is most convenient
to buy or make.
Make the five per cent, solution
of keresene emulsion by dissolving
one-half pound of hard soap in one
gallon of water. Remove the kettle
from the fire and add two gallons of
keresone and stir or agitate thoroughly
for at least ten minutes. If
you have a pump use it to pump the
solution back and forth into itself.
This will give a smooth, creamv solution.
Then add 37 gallons water
and use the same day it is made stirring
well before using each time.
Hold the cotton bent over with a ^
stick as the spray is applied so that
the under sides of the leaves will be.
covered, for this is where the spiders
are.
Apply the spray again in a week to
kill the spiders that hatched from
eggs after the first spraying. v
Spray several rows beyond the infested
area. Do not walk through the
infested area and then walk in other
cotton. The spider gets on your
clothes and is spread in this way to
a large extent.
At. this writing an outbreak is reported
between here and Hunter's x
