SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
The Ehrhardt school was closed
last week on account of the influenza
epidemic.
The nomination by President Wilson
of Cecil S. Rice as postmaster at
Denmark has been confirmed by the
senate.
C. E. Black and Claude Smoak are
out on the streets again after recent
illnesses, their friends are glad to
know.
Tno ciriAwalk on the north side of
Railroad avenue has been completed,
and work is to begin at once on the
side side of the avenue.
Work is expected to be started
next week on the construction of the
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse on the
lot recently vacated by J. H. Dixon's
saw mill.
Washington's birthday coming on
Sunday this year, Monday was observed
as holiday in Bamberg. The
postoffice maintained Sunday hours,
and the banks of the city remained
closed throughout the day.
The Bamberg friends of Mrs. Hardin
will be interested in the following
dispatch from York: "York county
relatives and friends of Mrs. Olive
Walker Hardin, wife of the Rev. H.
Grady Hardin, of Charleston, are glad
to know that she is much better after
an illness with influenza. Mrs. Hardin
is a daughter of Mrs. Miles J. Walker,
of this place."
Mr. H. K. Clayton, of Cayce, a recent
new subscriber to The Herald,
writes: "I sure was glad to get the
* " * * I
home paper, wnicn i nave wauieu
since I moved, but just put off sub-1
scribing. Hope everybody is doing
fine down there. The influenza is
sure raging up here now; chicken pox
also; hope it is not as bad in Bam-:
berg. Don't think I will ever be
without The Herald any more."'
D. J. Delk happened to a painful
accident at his shop in this city Saturday
evening while working at a cir%
cular saw. In looking around his
right hand came in contact with the
saw and the thumb was cut almost
off, leaving it hanging only by a
small fragment. The injured num*
ber was sewed back and efforts made
to save it, but it is still doubtful as
to whether or not Mr. Delk will lose j
his thumb.
Several new cases of influenza have
been reported in the city during the
past few days. Mrs. B. S. Johns and
little Mary Louise Johns, J. Frank
Folk, and Mrs. Frances Folk are
among those confined to their
homes. Mrs. \T. Frank Folk is now
recovering from the malady. Mrs.
M. A. Bamberg and Mrs. E. B. Walker,
both of "whom have been confined
to their homes with influenza, are
now recovering.
While a number of new cases of
influenza have developed in the past
week, the epidemic is not spreading
to any alarming extent. Saturday the
board of health decided that it would
be wise to continue the quarantine
for the present in the hope of confining
the disease as much as possible.
Consequently the churches and
schools were not opened as had been
expected, and no public gatherings
.are being permitted.

MRS. MOLLIE DICKINSON.
Beloved Bamberg Woman Died Friday
After Long Illness.
On last Friday the angel of death
visited the home of Edgar Dickinson,
when his wife, Mrs. Mollie Hewitt
Dickinson passed to the great beyond.
Mrs. Dickinson had been in ill health
for more than a year past, and for
the past two months she has been
unable to leave her room, being afflicted
with Bright's disease. The
remains were interred Saturday at
Restland cemetery, the Rev. S. O.
Cantey conducting the funeral services
at the grave.
Mrs. Dickinson is survived by two
children, Mrs. D. A. Kinard, who lived
with her, and J. H. Dickinson, of
Charleston, who is now very ill wiin
influenza. She is also survived by
her father, J. M. Hewitt, of Latta;
and three brothers, Ed Hewitt and
Sam Hewitt, of Latta, and the Rev.
R. M. Hewitt, of New Orleans.
Mrs. Dickinson was 55 years of age.
Eefore her marriage she was Miss
Mollie Hewitt, of Latta. She was
married to Mr. Dickinson 30 years
t ago. For many years past she has
been the jailer for Bamberg county,
I and in this capacity she has received
unstinted praise from the authorities.
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections has frequently praised
her work in behalf of the prisoners,
and has several times referred to her
as being the best jailer in South Caro|
lina. The care of the jail and pris|
oners has been a constant source of
pride to Mrs. Dickinson.
In her home life she was cheerful
and never tired of her service to oth
ers. Even during ner weens or serious
illness she never ceased to be
cheerful to those about her. She was
a member of Trinity Methodist
church. In living a life devoted to
service, Mrs. Dickinson leaves behind
her the love of her many friends and
relatives.
POPULATION GUESSES.
Herald Readers Estimate Bamberg's
Size in Varying Degree.
There is a wide divergence of opinj
ion concerning the size of Bamberg.
I Below is given a list of the guesses
j received on Bamberg's population as
will be shown by the 1920 census.
The lowest guess received is that of
G. F. Hiers, of Ehrhardt, 2,250, and
the highest number guessed is by Joe
E. Bishop, of Ehrhardt, 10,000. The
other guesses vary according to the
estimation of the guessers between
these two figures. Most people think
that the town has made a material
growth, and none of the guesses come
within several hundred of the population
of ten years ago. As soon as
official announcement is made, the
| Herald will announce the winners in
i the guessing contest. The guesses
are arranged in order below, beginning

Session of Court Postponed.
On petition by the members of the
Bamberg bar, Judge I. W. Bowman
has issued an order postponing the
I session of court scheduled to be held
j in Bamberg beginning next Monday.
| The request to postpone the court
was because of the prevalence of the
j epidemic of influenza. Jurors have
been drawn for the March session of
i court, but these jurors are advised
that it will not be necessary for them
to appear, as no court will be held
i at this time.
NEGRO BOY KILLS BROTHER.
Edmund Mitchell Stabbed in Heart by
Samuel Mitchell.
Monday night Edmund Mitchell,
about 26 years of age, was stabbed in
the heart by his brother, Samuel
Mitchell, aged 13, and instantly killed.
Both are negroes. Coroner
Zeigler held an inquest over the dead
body Tuesday morning, the verdict
being that Mitchell came to his death
from a knife wound at the hands of
his brother.
It seems that Edmund Mitchell,
who is the son of Jerry Mitchell, has
been running his father's place since
the elder Mitchell died a year or so
ago. Jerry Mitchell was a well-todo
farmer and a most respectable
colored citizen, and on his death he
left a very nice estate to his wife.
Edmund Mitchell has been carrying
on the farm of his mother since his
father's death, and is generally said
to be a reliable man.
Monday night Mitchell's mother
had occasion to chastise Samuel
Mitchell, and she administered punishment
with a switch, and appears
to have had some difficulty in doing
so. Edmund was present and after
the switching had occasion to slap the
b,oy, possibly for his attitude toward
his mother because she had punished
him. Edmund was stabbed just
about this time, and fell. The boy
states that his brother in slapping
him fell against the open knife he
had in his hand, and that he did not
kill his brother intentionally. Mitchell's
mother does not know the exact
circumstances at the moment of the
stabbing, and did not know her son
had been cut until she saw him on
the floor with the blood streaming
from his wound.
The boy has been arrested and is
now in jail on the charge of murder.
The killing occurred at their home
near Orange Grove colored church,
nhmit. six miles from Bamberg. The
affair is greatly deplored among the
the colored people, as the Mitchells
stood well with their neighbors and
with the white people. The dead man
was a hard working fellow with a
good reputation.
STATE HIGHWAY BILL.
Praise Given Mr. Miley for Successfully
Piloting Measure in House.
The following is a portion of an
editorial recently appearing in the
Spartanburg Herald:
"The house of representatives passed
& state highway bill Tuesday night
that constitutes a beginning of the
development of a system of state
roads. The measure is constructive
and is looking to the future progress
of highway building and maintenance
in the state along lines that will
eventually lead to existence of a state
highway system systematically and
uniformly maintained by the state.
The passage of the bill was not with'
j * ?
out opposition, ana an opposition tnai
was organized and thoroughly acquainted
with its own purposes, but
through the very able leadership of
Representative Miley, of Bamberg
county, who handled the bill on the
floor of the house for the joint committee,
it was intelligently presented
and successfully piloted to a passage.
The friends of the measure
believe it is going to mean much to
the state in the future, and if such
proves true, Representative Miley
should be remembered as the worthy
champion of the bill when it was under
fire. He was ably assisted by
Representative Atkinson, of Spartanburg;
Representative Burgerson, of
Charleston; Representative Belser, of
Sumter; Representative Kinard, of
Laurens, and others, but the handling
of the bill on the floor of the house
was his."
March 1 to 5 Week of Prayer.
The Woman's Missionary society of
the Baptist church will observe March
1 to 5 as a week of prayer for home

Thursday?Mrs. W. H. Chandler,

Friday?Mrs. John Cooner. at Mrs.
C. W. Rentz, Jr.'s.
All the ladies of the church are
urged to attend these meetings, as
they are very interesting and helpful.
Meetings will begin promptly at 4
o'clock. If the quarantine is still on,
these services will be postponed until
a later time. The ladies are asked to

WHITE MAX SUICIDES.
W. O. Polk Takes Own Life With a
Shotgun Saturday.
Saturday afternoon the body of
Willie O. Polk, a white man about 50
years of age, was found in the woods
near his home on the Elijah Goodwin
place, a few miles from Bamberg,
with a gunshot wound in his head. An
inquest was held Sunday over the
dead body by Coroner Zeigler, and
the jury found that Mr. Polk came
to his death at his own hands.
Palmer Polk, his son, testified at
the inquest Sunday that he went out
in the woods to get some wood, his
dog following him, and that the dog
> .1- - 1- - _1 _. TT_ ... 4. 4. ? 4-V, ^
iouna tae uuuy. ne went iu mc
place and looked at the body, finding
it to be his father. He returned home
and reported it to his mother. Oscar
Crider was one of the first to arrive
after the finding of the body had been
reported. Dr. Robert Black, who performed
the autopsy, testified that the
gunshot literally tore off a portion of
the head and caused death.
No motive is known for the act,
but it is said that the dead man was
scarcely in his right mind. He had,
it is said, previously attempted to
kill himself. When found, the shotgun
was lying across his lap, with
the shell discharged. It appeared
that he had pushed the trigger of the
gun with a stick.
BROOKS JOHNSON CAUGHT.
Killed His Father Near Denmark
Several Weeks Ago.
Pt*aa17p TnBneAn f li a \rr\ un c A oor A
IJI UUI\fl UIUIOUU, 111V. J UUUj5 uvgiu
who shot and killed his father, Lloyd
Johnson, near Denmark several
weeks ago, has been arrested in Asheville,
N. C., by Chief of Police W. D.
Raysor, of that city. Johnson will
be brought back to Bamberg and
placed in jail to await trial on a
charge of murder.
The negro left immediately after
the killing for parts then unknown
and nothing was heard from him for
several weeks. Johnson, however,
began writing letters under the name
of Willie Johnson, to parties at Denmark,
and his whereabouts were
learned by means of tracing these
letters. Nothing was done until his
exact location was ascertained, and
as soon as Sheriff Ray came in possession
of this information he wired
the Asheville chief requesting Johnson's
arrest.
Johnson is generally considered a
bad negro, while his father was considered
an upright man and was well
thought of. They had been having
trouble between them for several
days prior to the killing, and on that
occasion, the testimony at the inquest
shows, the elder Johnson became
angry at his son for some offence
not mentioned in the inquest
papers, and threatened him. His pistol
was lying on a table, and as soon
as he turned his back the younger
negro grabbed the pistol and shot
his father, killing him. It has been
stated from other sources that Lloyd
Johnson was preparing to chastise
the boy for using the former's automobile
after he was forbidden to do
so.
Washington Birthday Banquet.
The annual Washington Birthday
banquet of Carlisle school was held
Saturday evening in the dining room

The following was the menu: Fruit,
pickles, olives, roast chicken, country
ham, steamed rice, giblet gravy,
oyster dressing, sweet potato croquettes,
green peas, macaroni, salad,
beaten bisquits, hot rolls, chocolate

Trinity Church Services.
In case the quarantine is lifted before
Sunday, services will be held at
the Methodist church at the usual
hours.
The regular congregations will be
expected. In addition all children
j are specially invited to the morning
| service, at which time the pastor will
preach especially to the children.
It is hoped that many children will
come and take the front seats.
At night, Rev. Peter Stokes, the
presiding elder, will he present to
preach and hold the first quarterly
conference for the year.
It is hoped that all the people will
come out Sunday and show that they
are glad to worship together again. |
MANUFACTURE ICE.
Cotton Oil Company Purchases Equipment
for Plant Here.
A new industry, that of an ice manufacturing
plant, is soon to be added
to Bamberg's industrial activity. Jas.
A. Wyman, president of The Cotton
Oil. company, a local corporation, announces
that his company has purchased
complete equipment for the
installation of an ice manufacturing
plant at the oil mill. The contract
has already been awarded for the installation
of the machinery, and the
plant is expected to be in operation
by early spring. The first equipment
purchased will provide for a small
plant, the output of which will be six

tended, primarily, to meet the local
demand. Later it is expected, it is
stated, to enlarge the plant to meet
any demands that may be made for
ice.
Mr. Wyman states that either Bamberg
city water or water obtained
from a private artesian well will be
used in the manufacture of the local
ice, a,nd that every precaution will
be taken to insure absolute purity.
The difficulty experienced in the
past in securing ice by local dealers
has made the lack of an ice plant here
felt very keenly, and with this plant
in operation no shortage of ice in
Bamberg is anticipated. Mr. Wyman
states that it is not the purpose of his
company to go into the retail business,
however.

Major F. R. Lang, accompanied by
Mrs. Lang and daughter, arrived
Wednesday afternoon to begin his
new new duties as professor of military
science and tactics. He has|
been expected for some time, but
was detained on account of other R.
U. T. c. duties. as processor 01 j
military science and tactics, he will
have charge of alPmilitary work.
Just after breakfast on last Sunday
morning, the campus was alarmed
by the cry of fire from the sentry
near Bamberg hall, and it was soon 1
learned that the hall was on fire.
Luckily, the sentinel saw the flames
before they became in any way uncontrollable
and in the period of a
few minutes everything was restored
to order.
Last Saturday night the school
auditorim was a scene of laughter, the
occasion being a "mock faculty meeting"
presented by nine of the cadets^
The striking resemblances and characteristics
of the respective members
of the faculty were so closely reproduced
by the boys that the audience
was in one volley of laughter after
another. Col. Guilds was represented
in this mock meeting by Fred Plott:

Gone to Detroit For Cars.
The poor freight facilities offered
to the public by the railroads during
the past few years has caused ,
it to be a common practice among
southern automobile dealers to send
personally to the factories for cars
to be driven back to the.local markets.
Saturday morning a party of
six youife men left Bamberg for Detroit
to drive back' six automobiles
to be distributed here.^ They went by
train, and it is figured that they
should return in about two weeks
with no bad mishaps to mar the journey.
The route by rail is nearer than
the return trip on which the cars will
be driven; this is estimated at approximately
1,400 miles. Their
itinerary after leaving Detroit will
include the cities of Toledo and
Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Hagerstown,
Md.; Washington, D. C.;
Richmond, Va.; Raleigh, N. C., and
Columbia. Those making the trip 1
are: James T. Burch, Eddie Jackson,
George Fender, Talbot Padgett, M.
G. Cooner and E. L. Spann.

TO HAVE WATERWORKS.
Denmark Takes l^ogressive Step
Forward.?liond Issue.
Some time ago Denmark decided
to take a decided step forward by the
voting of a bond issue of $50,000 for
public improvements. The election
was held in January, and it was almost
unanimous. Sixty-seven votes
were cast in the election, and 64 of
these were registered in favor of the
bond issue.
This bond issue will be used for the
purpose of installing a system of waterworks
in the town, and arrange
ments are now being made to begin
work at once. A contract has been
awarded for some of the work already,
and as soon as the bonds can
be issued, the red tape of which requires
some necessary delay, the contract
will be let.
It is expected that the work will
be completed during the coming
summer. A deep artesian well will
be bored to supply the town with
pure water, and a plentiful supply
will be provided, it is stated.
