No new cases have been reported recently, and most of those who have recently suffered attacks of the disease are out again. Very few cases of the disease have been reported from other ^ * sections of the county. That peanuts will be one of the county's important crops is apparent. Conversation with a number of farmers recently has disclosed the fact that hundreds of acres of peanuts are being planted all over the county. One farmer in the Denmark section^ stated a few days ago that he was planting 120 acres of the ci^)p this season, and many others will plant on a large scale. Work is progressing rapidly on the erection of the Farmers Tobacco warehouse, which will be the largest 'hi-ii'Minor nrip rnnf in this sec UUllUlU^ UliUVl * w tion. The floor space in the building is about one acre in size, and even at that the warehouse authorities have been advised by tobacco men that there will likely be % shortage of space. It is contemplated that in the near future it will be necessary to make an addition to the building. LaVeme Thomas has purchased the Willard service business from J. K. Faulkner, and John Schwarting will hereafter operate this battery service in connection with Mr. Thomas's service station. Until the new service station is completed Mr. Schwarting will operate the battery business in Mr. Faulkner's place of business. Mr. Schwarting has just completed a two weeks course in battery service in Augusta and will return to Bamberg today to assume his duties. Three new citizens of Bamberg county were in attendance at the county convention last Monday: J. H. Smith, J. M. Strickland and J. C. Goodwin. These gentlemen are voters at the new voting precinct of Lit- ' tie Swamp. t Formerly they were cit- ' Izens of Colleton county, but this dis- ' trict has now been annexed to Bam- ' berg. They will vote in Bamberg county the first time this dimmer. The addition of this territory gave some fine citizens to this county. IR. E. lee, who has had charge of , the work of reindexing the records in , the office of the clerk of court, has returned to Charleston, and George ( T. Murdaugh, of North Carolina, is ] now in charge of the work. He was ] formerly register of mesne conveyance for eight years in his home coun- | ty and is throughly conversant with this work. He is being assisted by . Miss Lake, of Quincy, Fla., who ar- 1 rived in the city Sunday. The work ( will be completed within the next < few weeks. The H. C. Folk company experienc- ] ed a very narrow escape from possible ] serious loss some time between Saturday night and Monday morning, when i rats got into the matches on the < shelves. Two boxes of matches had i been ignited in different places on the shelf near where matches are usu- ] ally kept. Fortunately there was ] nothing of an inflammable nature : near the ignited matches and nothing ; was burned except the wrappers of a pile of soap. There was no doubt of ; it being the work of rats for tattered ! ^fragments of paper were scattered < over the shelf, and some bars of soap i had been eaten freely by the rodents, i Hereafter the store will keep matches : in a safe place from rats. I1 COl/XTV (OXYKXTIOX HELD. Strong Endorsement of Wilson; Delegates L'ninst! acted. The county Democratic convention was held at the court house Monday morning. The convention was well attended, every club in the county being represented, only three or four delegates being absent of the entire number. The convention was entirely harmonious, and there was not the slightest trace of factional politics. The administration of Woodrow Wilson was warmly endorsed, and while the delegates were not instructed in the interest of any candidate, the delegation to the state convention was instructed to support anv resolutions that might be pres ented at the state convention endorsing the league of nations. The convention was opened with prayer by Rev. S. O. Cantey, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, after which the county chairman, J. F. Carter, Esq., made a short address, in which he praised the county for its record of clean politics and alluded to the absence of fraud in Bamberg county with pride a.nd satisfaction. J. F. Carter was elected temporary chairman and R. M. Hitt secretary, and the following credentials committee was. named: J. Arthur Wiggins, J. B. Bl^ck, and W. L. Riley. The' delegates to the convention were enrolled as follows: Bamberg?J. B. Black, J. W. Stokes, J. D. Felder, J. C. Guilds, A. W. Knight, B. W. Miley, W. E. Free, E. H. Henderson, B. D. Carter, H. L.

J. Y. Hicks, J. P. O'Quinn. Mr. Hicks was absent. Little Swamp?J. H. Smith, J. M. Strickland. Embree?R. F. Carter. Clear Pond?G. W. Folk, Two new clubs were represented in the convention: Little Swamp, with the voting place at Little Swamp school house, in the portion of Colleton recently-annexed to Bamberg, and Embree, with the voting place at Embree. At a previous meeting of the executive committee these clubs had been admitted to representation at the convention. The credentials committee reported that no contests had been filed and approved the roll. The convention approved the report of the committee and the convention was declared organized with the roll of delegates as read by the secretary. At this juncture it was ascertained that the Lees club had elected two delegates whereas under the new rules the club was antitled to only one delegate. Considerable parliamentary discussion prevailed with several motions to straighten out the matter, all of which the chairman ruled out of orderder as the credentials committee had already reported and the report had been adopted. J. Arthur Wiggins moved that the temporary1 officers be elected the permanent officers of the convention, and the motion was carried. As no temporary treasurer had been elect sd, K. M. Hitt was nominated ana sleeted to fill this office. Mr. Wiggins here offered two resolutions, both of which were unanimously adopted, as follows: (This resolution was prefaced by an excerpt from the address of President' Wilson in the United States % senate July 10, 1919.) "Whereas, The most partisan'drive known in American politics has been made against President YVhlson, personally and against the treaty of Versailles which he submitted to the United States senate for ratification, and that the said venomous attack has been made for the sole purpose of discrediting the great Democratic statesman and his party under the sham veil of assumption that our national rights as well as our political integrity and civic honor were CAKL1SLK SHOWS FORM. Bamberg Hoys Win From Bailey Seven to One. Carlisle defeated Bailey here Thursday afternoon, winning the game by a score of 7 to 1.

"Whereas, the approaching campaign for the nomination of a Democratic presidential candidate promises most clearly to precipitate the call of the people of the nation for a business man, possessing business ideals as well as political sagacity and deep knowledge of plans of restoration of normal living and safe and sound commercial correlation of nations, therefore, "Be it resolved by this Democratic convention ,of Bamberg county here assembled, "First, that this convention instruct its delegates to the state convention to introduce and support a resolution that the delegates named by the state convention* to the national convention, tc be held at San Fran Cisco, Cal., shall go unhampered and be left free to cast 'their ballot for the greatest Democrat available as our standard bearer for national victory."

The Embree club having failed to elect a committeeman, the convention adopted a motion to allow the club to reconvene and elect a member of the executive committee. Nominations were called for for county chairman, and J. F. Carter was the only nominee. The motion was put by Col. J. C. Guilds and Mr. Carter was unanimously elected. J. Arthur Wiggins was reelected state executive committeeman without opposition. The following six delegates were nominated and elected by acclamation to the state Democratic con-! vention in Columbia: C. F. Rizer, W. L. Riley, J. Arthur Wiggins, Col. J. C. Guilds, B. W. Miley, H. B. Grimes. A motion was adopted that each delegate be authorized to name his own alternate in the event he cannot attend the state convention. J. Arthur Wiggins was elected to represent the county convention on the state convention credentials committee. There being no further business the convention was adjourned. I HEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

A young negro named Summers' was arrested Sunday night by Policeman Nevils charged with housebreaking The negro was captured red handed, he having previously broken into the store of E. Dickinson' on Railroad avenue. When arrested he was in the building hid under a counter. In the early part of Sunday night J. M. Kinard, who is living in the home of W. B. King since his house was burned last week, heard the breaking of a glass in Mr. Dickinson's store, Mr. King's house being only a few yards distant. While Mr. King wont after a policeman Mr. Kinard approached the store, but before he reached it a man jumped out and escaped. On arrival of the policeman the three men went into the store and upon searching it found the negro Summers hid in one of the rooms of the building which was formerly a residence. The negro denies that there was anyone with him, but Mr. Kinard is positive that he saw a man jump and run away. * Advertising Pays. Of course everybody knows that or # ought to, but not every person knows a good thing when h^ sees it. J. M. Grimes, one of our progressive citi"* T - ~-J- ^ r?n zens, does, i^asi weeh. nc mscucu cm advertisement in The Herald that he had a quantity of peanuts for sale. L. R. Clayton, of Ehrhardt, is another man who knows a good thing when he sees it, and as soon as he received his Herald he read it?and gained \ thereby?for he wanted some peanuts. Early the next morning he drove up to Bamberg and bought the entire lot from Mr. Grimes. The Herald has the satisfaction of knowing that it has brought two farmers together, both of whom wanted something and got it. And the only loser is The Herald, because Mr. Grimes ordered his advertisement taken out at once. However, we freely forgive him for this. The cup won by the Carlisle school rifle team is on exhibition in the display window of the Herald Book Store. The cup was won in contest with the other schools of the southeastern district, comprising ten states, Carlisle making the highest score. HAMBURG WINS FIRST GAME. Defeats Blackville 4 to 0 on the Local Diamond. Before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds ever seen at a base ball game in Bamberg the local team of the Tri-County league shut out Blackville at Rhoad park Tuesday afternoon in the opening game of the league by the score of 4 to 0. The game was enlivened with music by the Carlisle band, and but for bunched hits by the locals Ln the second inning the situation would have been uncomfortable for the home fans all the way through. The game was well pitched for both sides and furnished some pretty fielding stunts. In the second inning Sanders, of Carlisle, first up for Bamberg, singled to left field, went to second on a passed ball and scored on the smashing drive down the right field line for two bases by Watson. Brabham-struck out as did McLeod, but in the meantime Price was hit by the pitcher and both he and Watson had advanced a base on another passed ball for the visitors' catcher. Both runners their'scored on a two-base hit to center field by Bamberg. One more run was scored by the home team in th? eighth inning, and that was all for both sides. Decidedly the feature of the game was a throw by Bamberg from left field killing a runner at the plate. He was easily the star of the game, although the entire Bamberg team played good ball. Preacher, of Blackville, bids fair to be one of the' league's best pitchers, and in appreciation of the splendid work of McLeod, Carlisle's pitcher, the local fans presented him with a nice contribution at the close of the game. Sanders, the only other Carlisle player with the locals, also received $10 presented by an enthusiastic fan . for scoring the first run. Mayor J. J. Smoak opened the season by pitching the first ball. With the exception of a pitcher, which is lacking, Bamberg has the best ball team composed of all home playerspp which the writer fyas ever seen.

Men of Baptist Church Hold Meeting # at Church Sunday Afternoon. A meeting of the men of the Baptist church was held last Sunday afternoon for the purpose of discussing ways and means of meeting the increased demands that are being made upon the church. A representative body of men was present and it was unanimously decided that in order to keep pace with the spirit of progress and to meet the pressing , i needs of the cnurcn a numoer or 1m- . provements are necessary, chief of which is the need of Sunday school j facilities. A committee of fifteen members r was appointed for the purpose of investigating the needs of the church j and to undertake the work of securing the necessary improvements. It was further decided to effect a J men's organization in the church. j While the consideration of the im- 1 Drovements will be in the hands of this committee, discussion at the ] meeting disclosed the imperative need of Sunday school rooms and ( equipment, and it was suggested that , J an addition could be built to the ( church in such manner as to provide several Sunday school rooms, by the 3 slight changing of the interior ar- j rangements. ] MEMORIAL DAY. j 1 1'.
