SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout (
the Town and County.
(
The friends of Air. C. R. Brabham, j
Sr., will learn with regret of his illness.
He is suffering from sunstroke.
A building boom lias struck Bam- ,
berg. x There are now in course of .
c
construction, or about to be con- j
structed. several residences and busi- (
ness buildings.
The steel bridge over the North t
Edisto river, between Bamberg and
Orangeburg has been closed by the (
Orangeburg authorities, who pro- (
thp hridae unsafe for travel <
XXl/l444V\y V?W ? ?w
until necessary repairs have been
made.
The W. G. Hoffman company has
been commissioned by the secretary
of State. The corporators are Messrs.
W. G. Hoffman and C. H. Mitchu
.V ell, and the purpose of the concern
is to engage in the grocery business
in the city of Bamberg. Mr. Mitchell
has resigned his position as telegraph
operator here to go into the new firm.
' The price of cotton dropped about
two cents a pound within the past
week, in spite of the fact that reports
from all over the cotton belt
are to the effect that the crop is far
shorter than previous estimates, and
is deteriorating every day. Cotton
experts are advising the people to i
continue to hold to the staple on z
hand. 1
The rural ro.ute carriers from the i
Bamberg postoffice had a hard time 1
last week making their rounds. In t
many places bridges were washed r
' away and streams too high to ford, c
and in others the roads were so badly
washed as to be impassable. It *
will cost the county thousands of dol- ^
lars to repair the damage to roads (
and bridges, caused by the recent 1
heavy rains. 1
T
Mr. J. L. Wilkes narrowly escaped
injury a few days ago while *
crossing the Edisto river at Cannon's x
bridge.* While his car was in the mid- ^
die of one of the approach bridges, 1
T
the bridge gave way allowing the
water to come into the car, killing *
the engine. He hastily got out of 6
the car with his little girl, and got 1
over the bridge in safety, but was unable
to get his car out until later. *
Mr. C. R. Calhoun, who has been
appointed and confirmed as postmaster
at Greenwood, is well and favorably
known in Bamberg, where he j
was principal of our graded school
a number of years ago. He has many
friends here, who are glad of his
promotion. He has been the assis- j
tant postmaster at Greenwood for t
some years, and won the position of c
postmaster through a competitive ex- ]
amination. r
A Dillon dispatch to the News and I
Courier states that Mr. A. B. Jor- c
dan is being urged to make the race t
for congress to succeed the late J. W. s
Ragsdale, and that Mr. Jordan has r
\ the matter under consideration. Mr. e
Jordan is a former resident of Bam- c
berg, being many years ago connect- y
ed with The Herald. He is the son t
of Mrs. A. D. Jordan, of Bamberg, I
and has been editor of the Dillon r
Herald for 20 years. t
Supervisor McMillan requests The t
Herald to say that the recent rains t
have torn the roads up all over the v
county, and that he will do all he can
to repair the roads just as soon as s
possible. He asks for the patience s
of the people and also for their as- v
sistance. Where it is possible for I1
* anyone to do some repair work, the ^
county will gladly pay for it, and will 11
appreciate the assistance thus render- t
ed. The damage to roads is not just
' ip any one locality, it is all over the
county and it will take some time to
get over all the roads. 1
EDISTO RIVER OX RAMPAGE.
, i
Highest Waters in Memory of Oldest ^
Inhabitants Reoorted. r
* *.
s
The greatest freshet the county r
has ever known, with the possible I
exception of the, August storms of
1893, has been experienced by the I
residents in the lowlands on either c
side of the South Edisto river during r
the past few days. Scores of farmers
* have lost hundreds of acres of crops f
* in the river bottom lands.
At some points on the river the a
water extended for several miles cov- i
ering thousands of acres of land. At f
Embree conditions probably were ^
worse than at any other point 1
in the county. The lumber mill
there was put entirely out of commission,
and there was considerable
danger to the residents of the lum- a
ber camp for several days. The camp 1'
was largely under water, and it was c
necessary several times to get pro- r
visions to the men of the camp to 1
prevent hunger. The water started f
to recede Saturday afternoon. Bridg- J
es over the Edisto were all more or i
less damaged by the high water. I
CARLISLE MADE FIXE RECORD.
Represented at R. O. T. C. Camp by
Twenty-three Boys.
Carlisle school was represented at
ramp Lee, Virginia, by twenty-three !
cadets. The R. O. T. C. infantry
amp at Camp Lee is just coming to 1
i close this week, and the Carlisle 1
joys made a very enviable record,
carrying off far more than its share
)f the camp honors. Col. J. C. 1
Guilds, headmaster of Carlisle, spent 1
i few days at the camp recently upon
nvitation of the commanding officer.
:ol! R. L. Rowel 1.
The Carlisle boys were distributed
hrough the three companies. 10th,
11th, and 12th. comprising the junior '
livision, of the third and fourth R.
3. T. C. districts, composed of the
States of Pennsylvania, District of
Columbia. Maryland. Virginia. North 1
tnd South Carolina. Georgia andj
Florida. The idea was to change
jfficers of each company each week,
md during the first six weeks of
lamp, of the six captains of company 1
II, in which most of the Carlisle
>oys were placed. Carlisle secured
he captaincy four weeks. Nine pre>aratorv
schools were represented in
his company.
During the last or seventh week
)f the camp, the officers were given
daces based on their previous six
veeks' record. Carlisle had in the
nth company five officers out of 23.
he officer? being first and second
ieutenants and three sergeants. This '
s a fine record for the local school,
md Col. Guilds was congratulated
>y the camp officers on the fine sliowna:
made by his school. Porter acade
ny and Wofford Fitting school were
lie only other South Carolina prep atory
schools represented at the
:amp.

iigh Waters of Edisto Invade Home 1
of Mr. J. D. Utsey. ]
1
Mr. J. D. Utsey, who resides near 1
didway, and a short distance from
he Edisto river, was forced to va- 1
:ate his home and come to Bamberg
ast week, on account of the of the (
ising water during the freshet. Mr.
Jtsey's home is located in the valley
>f the river, but a considerable dis- ]
ance from the normal bed of the 1
tream. When the Edisto began to j
ise last week, the water came near- (
;r and nearer to Mr. Utsey's resi
lence, until it finally reached the
ard and began climbing into the \
touse. Mr. Utsey's son, Mr. A. B. ]
Jtsey, of Bamberg, went down* to the
iver and waded through the water
o the house and assisted in rescuing
he family, who arfe now staying in \
he city until normal conditions pre- 1
ail again on the Edisto. (
It was necessary for the mules to s
wim out in order to get them to I
afety, while a platform was imprO- <
ised for the farmyard chickens. Mr. (
tsey is a heavy sufferer from damage
iy the flood, which many say is the (
tighest on record or in memory of i
he oldest inhabitants. (

COUNTY GETS TRUCKS. V
U. S. Government Sends Two 3-ton
Aviation Trucks to Bamberg.
On Saturday the county commissioners
received from the United
States government two heavy threeton
aviation trucks, which were recently
apportioned this county, for
lire on government highways. These
trucks, the heaviest ever used in this
county, came loaded on flat cars,
and required a great deal of ingenuity
to unload, there being no derrick
facilities here.
The trucks are mammoth affairs,
with steel bodies, weighing many
tons. They were built for the gov- j
eminent for use in whipping the Ger- |
mans. All of the counties in the
State where government highways
have been constructed, or are under
course of construction, were alloted
some of these government trucks for
use in maintaining the roads.
Bamberg county has about thirteen
miles of highway under construction,
on which the federal government is
paying one-half the cost. It is likely
that the county may receive some
more of the trucks at a later date,
when other allotments are made, inasmuch
as the county has already applied
for federal aid in the construction
of some twenty miles more of
roads.
The allotment of the government
motor trucks is in keeping with the
good roads programme of the United
States government. The trucks will
be used to fine advantage by the
county commissioners in mainintaining
the federal roads, and will save
eht county a great deal of expense,
as it will not now be necessary for
the county to buy trucks for this
purpose.
BAMBERG RANKS HIGH.
Seventh County in State in Literacy
Percentage Among Whites.
Bamberg county ranks high among
the counties of South Carolina in the
percentage of literacy among both
the white and colored population.
Bamberg ties Beaufort county for the
seventh place in South Carolina, for
literacy among the whites, while it
occupies the seventh place in literacy
among the colored population. In
total percentage of illiteracy among
both races the county stands loth
with a percentage of 23.6 of the population
who cannot read or write.
In this county, according to the
statistics of the 1910 census, just
made public, there are 3,054 persons
over ten years of age who canaot
read or write. Four and
two-tenths per cent, of the white population
of the county is illiterate,
while 33 per cent, of the colored population
is illiterate.

Roads Badly Washed up and Bridges
in Bad Condition.
Supervisor McMillan started his
?angs out Monday morning repairing
:he roads and bridges which were
iamaged by the rains and swollen
streams. Mr. McMillan stated that
:he roads are badly washed up all
Dver the county, and repairs are necessary
to almost every bridge.
While none of;the important bridges
have been carried away by the
*iver streams, ajl of them are more
)r less in almost impassable condi:ion.
/londay Mr. McMillan had just
started out to investigate the damage
:hat had been done, the high water
preventing ascertaining the injury
iarlier.
No passing has been done across
:he Edisto river for some days, as
:he bridges were under water. All
)f the main bridges held throughout
;he freshet, but many of the approach
^ridges were either washed away or
"endered impassable.
The work of repairing will be push3d
as rapidly as possible, and by the
last of the week it is likely that all
:he bridges will be patched sufficient
!y to allow passage.

COTTON SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
Rains Play Havoc With Fleecy Staple
Tn This County.
The incessant rains for the past
two weeks have wrought havoc to the
cotton crop in this county, according
to farmers and business men with
whom we have talked. For some ten
days rain fell in torrents almost daily,
and sometimes practically all day
and night. The number of inches of
rainfall is not known here, but it
must have been something fearful.
Hundreds of acres of cotton have
been under water for days, the result
of which is. according to the cotf
a? r\lont/%vf? f b a Arttf am if Tivo nf 1
tun f;iaiiici s, iuc tuuun is i/ianirally,
if not quite, dead. The low
lands suffered most from the rains.
The rains were followed by days
of hot sunshine, and this has caused
a great deal of "shedding." One
prominent planter estimates that the
crop in the county this season will
not go above 20,000 bales, as compared
with 2,0,000 last season. Others
estimate the crop even 'lower,
some stating that there will not be
more than one-third of an average
crop harvested.
The voluntary reduction in cotton
acreage in the county is variously estimated.
While the pledge cards secured
from the farmers at the beginning
of the season indicated that
there had been a reduction of abou4,
one-fourth, later estimates greatly
reduce the acreage* cut. But the unfavorable
cotton weather that has
prevailed this season has served to
reduce the acreage perhaps to as
great if not greatdv extent than at
first estimated. Acres upon acres
have been abandoned because of
grass and inability to cultivate. On
top of this, the crop has been undoubtedly
seriously damaged by the
rainfall, which means that nothing
like an average crop can possibly be
hoped for.
FARMERS SELLING TOBACCO.
Prices Prove T>isapi)ointing to the
Planters of the Weed.
A great deal of tobacco has been
shipped from Bamberg county within
the past two weeks to the markets
of the Piedmont section. The prices
received have proved very disappointing
to the farmers here, and it is not
likely that very large dividends will
be realized by the tobacco growers
this season. It appears that the very
good grades of tobacco are selling
for a fancy price, while the lower
grades are scarcely wanted by the
buyers at any price. The prices received
by local growers have ranged
from four cents a pound to 50 cents.
The average for the earlier pickings
ranged from 11 cents to 20 cents.
While these prices are much lower
than those received last season, it
is yet likely that where good crops
were made a handsome profit will be
realized, as the earlier pickings are
usually low grades, or "sand lugs."
Tobacco marketed hereafter will command
much better prices and will
doubtless carry the average price to
a Considerably higher figure.
A carload of the weed was shipped
from here this week. No returns on
this tobacco have been received yet,
but better average prices are expected.
It has been calculated, according
to one local planter, that the cost
of growing tobacco this year is about
12 cents a pound. If this estimate is
correct, there is no cause for alarm
on the part of the growers here; as,
even at that pride, it is likely that
more profit will be made on tobacco
than on cotton.
Sheriff Ray.
Occasionally an officer's loyalty to
his duty is so exemplary and commendable
that it cannot escape the
notice and approbation of the general
public. In the recent trouble at Denmark
in whioh his son fell an inno
cent victim of the handy gun of a
negro desperado,. Sheriff Ray, of
Bamberg county, set an example that
might well be followed by other officers
of the country. His attitude and
conduct in every way was commendable.
And in speaking of the manly characteristics
of men, we must hesitate
long enough to chronicle a few words
of the praise of young Mr. Ray, who
was killed, that we have heard. We
did npt know him personally, but certain
of our friends were with him in
the military service and they speak
most highly of him.?Allendale Citizen.
A Valuable Patent.
An old colored minister announced
that he had invented an automatic
collection basket, which would be
passed around by the deacons of his
church. "It is so arranged, my brethren,"
said he, "dat if you drop in a
quatah or a half dollah it falls noiselessly
on a red plush cushion: if you
drop a nickel it will ring a bell dat
can be distinctuallv heard by de entiah
congregation; but if you let fall
a suspender button, my brethren, it
will fiah off a pistol."
TKESTLE CLOSED.
Xo Trains Have Passed Over Tlie Kdisto
Sin:e Monday Morning.
On account of the unprecedented
high water of the Edisto river, traffic
over the Southern railway crossing
at Einbree was closed Monday
morning. Xo trains have crossed the
Edisto at this point since. The river
I had begun to recede, when the breaking
of a large dam in Orangeburg
county caused the river to rise again
about a foot. This last flood of water
made it impossible to keep the railway
crossing in safe condition, and all
attempts to cross the river were abandoned
Monday until after the water
sufficiently recedes to allow the trestle
to be repaired. Water was over
the track in many places.
At present the trains are backed
from Blac-kville to Embree. which is
just this side of the Edisto. Xo mails
or passengers have been transferred
across the river as yet.
Up to Monday a large gang of
workmen worked constantly to keep
the crossing in a safe condition foi
the trains to cross the river, but the
terrific force of the onrushing waters
after the breaking of the dam washed
away all materials as fast as they
' could be placed in the river.
Later:?The trestle was opened
Wednesday morning.
ATTENDS GREENWOOD REUNION
Mr. M. O. Kinard, of Ehrhardt, Reports
Fine Entertainment.
-Mr. M. 0. Kinard, of Ehrhardt, atI
tended the reunion of the Confederate
veterans at Greenwood last week
being, as he stated, the only veterar
i from Bamberg county present at the
| reunion. Mr. Kinard states that the
| entertainment afforded by the people
of Greenwood was all that could be
hoped for, and he en|oyed the meeting
of the old "vets" immensely.
Mr. Kinard is one of the best citizens
of the county, and he keenly
enjoys meeting and conversing with
his old comrades in arm?. He relates
many interesting as well as pathetic
incidents of the reunion, and is very
enthusiastic about the growing and
enterprising city of Greenwood. He
says he was very sorry that Bamberg
county was not represented at the
reunion by a large number of veterans.
Chews Up Dynamite.
A hog will eat anything, even dynamite;
but he won't eat dynamite
but once. It's poor food for swine,
anyway, avers J. H. Baxter, a farmei
living near Pageland, S. C., who is
minus one of his best hogs because
the greedy thing gulped down a stick
of dynamite without stopping to investigate
it beforehand.
Some men have been blasting out
stumps on the farm, and one of the
workmen carelessly left a stick of
dynamite lying on the ground. The
hog saw it and made a dive for it.
As he swallowed it it exploded,
and the .porker was minus a head
in less time than it takes to tell.
However the body was not injured
and the Baxter family now has plenty
of fresh meat for a while at least.
