SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Monday, January 19th, Lee's birthday
was observed in Bamberg only
by the banks, which remained closed
during the day.
Tobacco beds may be seen all over
the county now. This indicates that
there will be a much larger acreage
planted in the "weed" this season.
The many friends here of Mrs. J.
B. Black, Jr., who recently underwent
an operatic^* in Charleston, will be
to knnw that she is rapidly
VX^l CVU vv .. improving
and is expected home again
in a short while.
The census enumerators are busy
throughout the county now. Every
inhabitant should see to it that he or
she is included in the census. If the
enumerator fails to see you, call his
or her attention to the fact. Let's
have a full and complete census.
Fine rains have fallen throughout
the county during the past week.
They were received with the greatest
of pleasure, as the drought has lasted
for months, and the grain crops
were beginning to show the need of
moisture in the ground. The grain
prospects are reported to be fine. i
Mrs. Fauline Jonnson ivenny, wuu
has been in charge of the work of reindexing
the records in the clerk of
court's office, left this week for her
home in West Virginia. She came
here as Miss Johnson, but was married
during the holidays. Mr. Robert
E. Lee, of Charleston, takes the
' place of Mrs. Kenny. It is estimated
that it will require about four months
to complete the work of reindoxing
the records. ^ .
Law enforcementvwas the subject
of an especially strong sermon at the
Baptist church last Sunday morning
by the pastor, the Rev. Geo. P. White.
Mr. White preached on this subject
at the request of Attorney General
Palmer, who requested all ministers
to observe last Sunday as law and order
day, law enforcement being a subject
of special interest at this time,
because of the ushering in of national
constitutional prohibition.
Bamberg now has a new ipdustry,
that of a commercial airplane. On
Tuesday Messrs. J. C. Hurts and C. H.
Siebenhausen, two ex-service aviators
who have been in Orangeburg, came
to Bamberg in their plane, which is
staying here for two or three days.
The gentlemen are carrying folks on
airplane flights at so much per. This
is the first time Bamberg has had
the opportunity of taking trips to the
sky, although it has become rather
common in many places.
The numerous friends in Bamberg
county of the Rev. W. R. McMillan,
of Westminster, Sot several years
pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church,
will learn with much regret of his
serious illness at his home. > For
some time past Mr. McMillan has
been in declining health, and it was
necessary a few weeks ago for him
to retire from the pastorate, of the
Westminster church. A telegram
received in the city Saturday stated
that he was in a very serious condition,
and much apprehension is felt
for his recovery.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
Bamberg Lumber Company Commissioned
by Secretary of State.
The Bamberg Lumber Company, a
proposed corporation with a capital
stock of $10,000, has been commissioned
by the secretary of State. Messrs.
A. M. Denbow, D>A. Gardner,
and C. W. Rentz, Jr., are the corporators.
It is the purpose of this new Bamberg
concern to ere.'t a lumber establishment
here at once, for the furnishing
to the retail trade of all kinds
df lumber. It is understood that a
location has already been secured.
Inasmuch as there is not a lumber
yard anywhere in this part of the
State, there is great promise of success
for the Bamberg Lumber Company.
It is planned to supply lumber
tn this entire section of the State.
Cotton Ginners' Report.
The following is the report of the
census bureau of the department of
commerce, of cotton ginned in Bamberg
and neighboring counties prior
to Jan. 1, 1920, and also for the same
date of 1919:
1920 1919
Aiken 39,829 49,124
Allendale 19,426
Bamberg 24,389 33.025

In South Carolina the report for
the same period follows: 1920, 1,401,226;
1919. 1,395*,765.
The HeraM erroneously gave these
same figures for-Bamberg county last
week as ginned to Jan. 21. The date
should have been Jan. 1.
BAMBERG TOBACCO MARKET.
Planters Will Not Have to Ship Product
This Season.
When Bamberg business men take
hold of things they do not do it by
' I halves. This has been demonstrated
many times in the past. The most recent
determination of the business
men and farmers of Bamberg and
surrounding territory is that there
shall be a tirst-class tobacco market
in this city the coming season. There
I has been a considerable amount of
tobacco planting in the county during
the past few years, but the growers
have been hampered by the lack of
marketing facilities in the city. It
has been necessary heretofore to ship
ttie product to marnets in ouiei yai ls
of the State for sale. This has plac- ;
ed the tobacco growing industry in
Bamberg at a decided disadvantage.
The farmers need have no fear of ;
this handicap hereafter. One large ]
tobacco warehouse was built in Bamberg
last year, but was completed too 1
late for use during the tobacco selling
season. It was then discovered .
that Bamberg could not hope to become
a good market unless there is ;
more than one warehouse so that j
there might be competition. In view <
of this fact another company has been j
organized recently, with sufficient of ;
the capital stock paid in to erect another
warehouse. Arrangements have <
been about completed for the build- ;
ing of this structure, and it will be "
started right away on a lot near the ]
Denbow warehouse on the B., E. &
\V. railroad. j
Those interested in the warehous- (
es inform The Herald that there will ;
be plenty of competitive buyers in
Bamberg this eason. They have been ;
assured that the Bamberg quality of ,
tobacco is very much in demand, and ]
that there will be lively and spirited
bidding for the weed here. Auctiontongues,will
be here to afford amuse- ]
tongues?wil be here to afford amuse- g
i- ^ iUo Anlnnlrnno of Tirol 1 O C? OQ dl I
IXIltSUL lUi LUC uuiuurvci o a.o "wi i
for the planters.
The Bamberg tobacco market being j
thus assured, no farmer may entertain
any doubts that he will not be able <
to sell his product this summer in
Bamberg. Now the moral is: Plant 1
a few acres of tobacco. You already ]
know that the boll weevil is coming. ]
It is possible that you may not get
intensely rich on five or six acres of i
tobacco, but there is every likelihood
that you will make a good profit
on it, and a good profit on five or
six acres of land will go a long way toward
dissipating a possible loss on
many more acres of cotton?and
there is a very serious likelihood of
you losing on cotton. l
MANY BLUSHES SEEN. I
March Winds Blew in January.?Fair ]
Ones Brave, Though. j
1
Bringing anger to the feelings of <
the male pedestrians and blushes to <
the cheeks of the gentler sex, real <
March winds blew Saturday, Sunday
and Monday in more or less March j
fashion,. playing havoc with the dig- (
nity of the first mentioned by whisk- ]
ing skypieces suddenly from their t
moorings and sending them far awaj} ]
to be chased after, and confounding i
the fair ones by toying with things at t
the other extremity of the human \
make-up. * <
Although the winds whistled, it t

greatly lessened volume of dust on t
Main street. Since the street has been
paved there is a minimum of dust, t
Heretofore during windy days one i
could hardly stand on Main street and i
brave'the dust. Fortunately also \
light rains had fallen just previous ]
to the windy hours, and this further j
reduced the dust in town and coun- ]
try. 1
The wind was followed by a sudden *
drop "in the temperature Saturday
night, not, however, reaching the <
freezing point. Monday the thermom- <
eter went up again, and with the ex- <
ceptlon of the wind was a fine spring- l
like day. i

WILL GET SOtP KITCHEN. i
State Highway Commission Gets
More Government Equipment. 1
It is stated from Columbia that an ;
army "soup kitchen" on wheels will i
be sent to Bamberg county for the i
use of the county chain gang. This i
apparatus, one of forty-six similar ;
kitchens?one for each county in the
State?was secured by the State highway
department from the war department,
and there will be no cost at- ""
tac-hed to the kitchen on the part of
the county other than paying the
freight on it. |
^This is part of the government's
programme of distributing to the ?
States the equipment purchased for 1
war purposes but not used on account
of the sudden end of hostilities.
Already there has been apportion- (
ed among the counties of South Carolina
more than one million dollars
worth of this unused war equipment. J
The kitchens are the latest arf'cles
ordered by the State highway department.
Each kitchen is complete with
its quota of utensils and necessary
accessories.

ELECTION IS OKEH.
Annexation Will Go Tlirough.?Miley
Introduces Road Bill.
The Bamberg delegation to the
general assembly spent the week-end
recess at their respective homes in
Lhe county. Senator Black came
borne Thursday night slightly indisposed,
and was confined to his bed
for a day or two. His friends will
be glad to know he has about recovered,
and was able to return to his
luties with the other members of the :
ielegation Tuesday afternoon. !
Representative Miley told The Her- <
ild, in regard to the election on the ;
luestion of annexing a portion of Col- :
leton to Bamberg, that the report in
;he Walterboro Press and Standard
-eprinted in The Herald last week i
vas incorrect. This statement was :
;o the effect that the managers had i
failed to report the result of the '
jlection to the oommissioners and '
;hat the commissioners nad been unible,
therefore, to declare the elec;ion
acording to law.
On reaching Columbia, the delega;ion
immediately investigated the
natter and found that the election
lad been legally declared a few days
'ollowing the date on which it was j
leld. The whole matter is on file '
n the governor's office according to
aw, and so far as known there will
De no hitch in the ratification of the
election.
About the only matter of immediate
action on the part of the deleration
so far is the road bill introduced
last week by Mr. Miley. This
bill provides for the construction and
naintenance of public highways within
the State of South Carolina and
:o raise the necessary funds therefor.
The bill is now in committee.
It is understood that the delegation
has about reached a decision on
i plan to finance the construction of
the Bamberg link of the AugustaCharleston
highway. This road extends
from near Blackville to near
Branchville, traversing the county.

'RUTLEDGE?FORBES.
Bamberg Girl Married in Atlanta on
Saturday, January 17.
The following account of the wedding
of Miss Estelle Rutledge, of this
city, to Mr. F. Cannon Forbes, ha Atlanta,
will be read with much interest
by the many friends here of the
bride. As Miss Rutledge, Mrs.
Forbes has spent twelve seasons in
Bamberg as the popular milliner at
Hooton's, and her numerous Bamberg
acquaintances wish for her much hap
piness:
"Miss Estelle Rutledge, . a veryhandsome
and popular young lady of
Bamberg, S. C., and Mr. F. Cannon
Forbes, the successful Southern manager
of the H. W. Johns-Manville
;ompany, of New York city, were married
January 17th at the home of the
bride's brother, Mr. E. A. Rutledge,
89 Blueridge avenue.
"The ceremony -was performed by
Dr. Charles W. Daniels, of the First
Baptist church.
"The wedding was a quiet home
marriage^ including only the immediate
families of the bride and bridegroom,
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Forbes,
of Athens, Ga.; Mr." and Mrs. Joe
C. Forbes, of Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr.
and Mrs. Tillou Forbes and Mr. and
Mrs. Lester Forbes, of Atlanta; Mr.
Forbes' mother and sister, Mrs. W. T.

tour being postponed until then on
account of the bridegroom's mother's
and sister's visit. They will tour in
an automobile on the east coast of
Florida, visiting Palm Beach, Daytona,
Miami and other points of interest.
"Among other bridal gifts were a
handsome silver set given by the men

and a platinum broach set with
diamonds and sable furs presented
to the bride by the bridegroom.
"The best man was Mr. Joe C.
Forbes, and the maid of honor was

TAX INEQUALITIES.
Dissatisfaction Among Merchants for
Apparent Discrimination.
The merchants of Bamberg are up
in arms?figuratively speaking. January
is the time most folks pay taxes,
and some of the merchants had their
eyes opened?and pocketbooks emptied?when
they went to pay their
annual tribute to the State and county.
As all the merchants know, the
State tax commission last year adopted
the plan of assessing merchants
along a different line than heretofore.
The result has been that mercantile
establishments are having to pay taxes
running anywhere from double to
uve nines men picviuus aiuuuui.o.
One storekeeper told The Herald
that last year he paid forty-odd dollars
taxes on his stock of goods. This
year he paid $169 on the same stock.
The objection seems to be somewhat
on this order:
The average merchant feels like he
has to work pretty hard for what he
gets and that he does not make any
greater percentage of profit than other
folks, and he believes that it is
downright discrimination to tax him
abnormally on his business, when the
finest farm lands in Bamberg county
which are worth perhaps $100 to
$150 per acre are assessed at less
than $7 per acre.

MR. FIELD RESIGNS.
General Manager of B., E. & W. Goes
With W., B. & S. Railroad.
The many friends in Bamberg of
Mr. Clarence J. Field, for nearly four
years general manager of the Bamberg,
Ehrhardt and Walterboro Railway
company, will learn with keen regret
of his resignation. Mr. Field has
accepted the position of general manager
of the Wilmington, Brunswick
and Savannah Railroad, with general
offices in Wilmington, N. C. It is
understood that the authorises of
this road have given Mr. Field time
to get the affairs of the B., E. & W.
in proper shape for turning over to
his successor before going to his new
position. It is likely that he will
leave for Wilmington about the first
of February.
Mr. Field came to Bamberg to assume
the duties of eeneral manager
of the B., E. & W. in the summer of
1916. The road had just been turned
back to the owners by the A. C.
L. Railroad company, which had been
operating the road from the time of
its completion. The road was practically
like a new one, so far as its
affairs were concerned. Under Mr.
Field's management, the road has
prospered, and was one of the fewrailroads
in the country that made
money last year.
In addition to being an expert railroad
man, Mr. Field is a genial gentleman.
He numbers his friends by|
the score, and it is a matter of genuine
regret to all of his acquaintances
that "he and his family will leave Bamberg.
Mr. and Mrs. Field gave up their
house a week or two ago. It will be
occupied bv Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Burch.
Until / their removal to Wilmington
in February, Mr. and Mrs. Field and
children are residing with Mr. and
Mrs. B. W. Simmons on Railroad avenue.
It will be of interest to Mr. Field's
friends to know that the position he
has accepted means an appreciable
promotion for him. It carries it with
it a substant'al increase in salary,
and places him in line for further
promotion. He is being congratulated
upon his selection for this important
position.
Home Service.
The following home service case I
has just been settled:
; On October 20, 1919, I received a
letter from Boyce M. Edens, director
information service, department of
civilian relief, American National
Red Cross, Southern division, Atlanta,
concerning an allotment and allowance
check due Elizabeth Laboard i
which check was returned to Wash- j
ington where it has been held until j
proper information could be secured
as would enable the bureau to deliver
the check to the person to whom it I
was due. The check was drawn to
the order of Elizabeth Laboard, of
Embree, S. C., when in truth the correct
address of said person (until re-1
cently) was Midway, S. C., thus the
trouble. As one means of locating
this woman I wrote to the postmaster
at Embree for some possible information
as to the whereabouts of Elizabeth
Laboard?this, of course, after
having written to Elizabeth herself
and after having heard no word from
her. On Nov. 24 I received a letter
from S. H. Gardner, postmaster at
Embree, stating that Elizabeth Laboard
some time ago married a man
near Embree by the name of Isaiah
Kearse. This information was gladly
received, and I thought that Elizabeth
could now be easily reached as
Mrs. Isaiah Kearse. A negro man by
the name of Isaiah Kearse called at
my office one afternoon and I got the
following information?the family
history: He, Isaiah Kearse, was the
father of Elizabeth Laboard (not her
husband, as the information from the
postmaster stated) whose husband,
Winson Laboard, served in the U. S.
army and who while in service made
an allowance to Elizabeth, his wife.
After about three months' time, and
repeated correspondence with headquarters,
I have succeeded in re-obtaining
a check for $275 from the
treasurer of the U. S., payable to
Elizabeth Laboard, at present a tenant
on the plantation of Mr. Decania
Dowling, Bamberg.

SEWERAGE PETITIONS. j
Calling for Election in Near Future '
Will I5e Circulated.
In keeping with the progressive
policy outlined by the present city
council, it is understood that arrangements
have been completed for
the circulation of petitions calling
for an election upon the question of
issuing bonds for the construction {
of a system of sewers in the city of
Bamberg.
The question of sewerage in Bamberg
has been considered seriously N
by the city council since it went into ,
office last year, and the councilmen A
feel that the time is propitious to I
launch the movement. The amount V
of bonds has not yet been determined. 1

of the malaria control work in the
early spring, it is necessary, for the ^
furtherance of the health condition I
of the city, that sewerage be install
ed as soon thereafter as possible. V
In view of the fact that all of the 1
permanent improvements that have-- M
already been completed, or are m
now under construction, have
been paid for, or payment
has been so arranged that no debt
will fall upon the posterity of the
town, there should be no objection
to passing along a few bonds that
the town's health condition might
be further improved.
It is likely that the petitions will
be circulated within the next week
or two. Two-thirds of the freeholders
of the town will have to sign the
petition calling for the election be- 1
fore the election can be ordered. A. 1
majority vote at the election is re- ?
quired. H
