F Lang learn with regret of the illnes of their bright little daughter, Louis< W. I. Johns, of Allendale, has bee appointed a trustee of the John D la Howe school, a state institutio located in McCormick county. A postal card from Aruthur Nin mons, now located in Washingtoi D. C., states that he is getting alon fine, and that his family is well. Rev. W. J. Snyder, of Bamber: preached Sunday evening at the Metl odist church to a very large and a] preciative congregation. ? Barnwe Sentinel. D. A. Reid, Bamberg jeweler, hs been adjudged a bankrupt, and ti first meeting of his creditors has bee - called to be held at the office of ti referee, Pelham L. Felder, in Orang< burg on April 25. The Woman's Missionary society < the Methodist church will meet at ti church next Tuesday at 'four o'cloc] Miss Bessie Lee Black will be leade The ladies of the society are earnest: requested to be present, and visitoi will be welcomed. Saturday night the barn on ti plantation of G. fcloye Dickinson nes Bamberg was destroyed by fire, large quantity of corn and fodder w? lost in the blaze. The stock in ti stables were carried to safety in tim to prevent their injury. A burned trestle between Barnwe and Denmark caused the Atlant Coast Line train from Augusta to t delayed two hours Sunday afternooi The train was detoured from Bari well to Denmark by way of Blacl ville.?Orangeburg Times and Demi crat. Saturday night policeman Hutt arrested a negro named Wood, an while carrying him to the guardhous the negro jerked loose from the p< liceman and ran, whereupon the ofl cer fired a shot at the negro's le? to stop him, inflicting a slight fles wound. The friends of Rev. T. L. Belvii pastor of the Ehrhardt SMethodk church, will learn with regret thj he is seriously ill. He was stricke with paralysis about two weeks ag< Mr. Belvin is serving his second pa torate at Ehrhardt, having serve four years there some years ago. The farmers are busy setting oi tobacco plants. A considerable a< reage of the weed has already bee set out, although the recent col days has delayed the work somewha The frost does not appear to ha-s done a great deal of damage to ti bacco, as the plants are hardy, an stand the cold well. The Bank or Brancnvuie was r< opened for business this weefr, aft* having been closed for two or thr* weeks. It is stated that satisfactoi arrangements have been made for 1 nancing the institution, and that tt bank is in a perfectly solvent cond tion. Inability to secure cash mone is said to have been the cause of ti bank's temporary embarrassment. Treasurer Jennings says that t collect all the taxes on the books b< fore the first of May, when the seve per cent, penalty will be added, woul keep him constantly busy, but tha as a matter of fact, he is doing not! ing now, which would seem to ind cate that a great many are not goin to pay their taxes this month. Thos wishing to avoid the penalty had be . ter come in and pay up at once. The weather during the preser April has been much colder than u: ual at this period of the year. I contrast to the warm weather c February and March, the temper? ture has been low enough for frof several mornings recently. Tuesda morning most of the tender garde j^iauio i> ci c Aiucu, auu ii cue giuun had not been very dry, it is likely the all gardens would have been wipe out. Two carloads of sweet potatoe were shipped from the Bamberg P( tato Curing House recently, the la: car being shipped Wednesday t Spartanburg. Th? potatoes were sol through the marketing associatioi and it is understood that good pric< were secured. There are still seve al carloads of tubers in the potat house. The potatoes have been ke] in a perfect condition, and it is sai that they are far superior in flavc to potatoes cured in the ordinal manner. 1911 1921 To All Chapter Members and Ladi( of the Town.

Refresi ments.?adv. j WORK AT POWER HOUSE. " Big Engine Being Overhauled.?Re_ duced Service Temporarily. Because of the fact thai no large ? engine at the city power house is being overhauled and put into first-class condition, the commissioners cf o?:bl lie utilities of Bamberg have issued s a circular to the people requesting 3 their cooperation for the next two or three weeks, during which time the work is being done, in order tna: o constant electric service may be givn en. Monday morning a machinist from 1_ the Lombard Iron Works, of Auguslf ta, which has the contract for the S ~ J. ? T) K /A T- nr t Vi cr i r> tVlP vv u i n., cauie LU uainucig, tu uv8m work of working over the large unit. It was at lrst thought the entire work could be done here, and that it would 3~ not take more than a week. Howli ever, it has been found necessary to send the engine to Augusta, as certain is needed work could not be done here, ie and this has somewhat upset the prem vious plans for furnishing the town ie with current temporarily, e- While the large unit is out of commission, the commissioners are having to rely entirely on the small unit ie to supply light and power to the ^ town. The small unit is not capable r of carrying the full load at its peak, [y and for this reason the people are rs urgently asked to use light as sparingly as possible until the large engine is back on the job again. This conLe servation may be accomplished very easily by all householders using only one light in the house at a time, and is , _ power consumers may help by running their machinery just as little as Le possible during this period. The commissioners are arranging ^ to give the town better service. The 1C power house equipment is badly in )e need of repairs, and it is confidently believed that when the contemplated 1_ improvements are made the power house will be in position to furnish enxipitr sci viutJ lu uie euuic tn,v. Supt. Tobiri has re-arranged his :o wiring so that the small engine at d the power house is furnishing far e, better service than heretofore, and 3- with the cooperation of the citizens of i- the town, barring a breakdown, the js town will continue to have service, ih though limited. Mr. Tobin has already proven himself to be an elects trician who is capable of producing 3t results, and the commissioners are to be congratulated upon securing his (T1 services at a time when an expert is 0 required. s- ? ? COULDN'T COME ACROSS. id Si]a Green, of New Orleans, Fails to Bring* Forth Stipend. c !n Silas Green, of New Orleans?ever td hear of him??was scheduled in the t. usual bill poster way to appear in Bamberg with his mighty aggregation 0- of minstrelsy last Monday. Silas id came in duly with a carlod of gingers and noisy horns, but the show failed e- to materialize for the good and suffi-, >r cient reason that he failed to produce >e the material substance required as y city and county license. 1- After the aggregation reached the Le town, the manager called at the court same work last year. Closets are be?s ing installed in the court house, and ^ closets will be installed in the jail .j both upstairs and down stairs, to^ gether with bathing facilities at the jail. These improvements have been r_ needed for many years at the county institution, and the officials are gratified that they will soon be completed. HEALTH BOARD COMPLAINS. Citizens Are Hindering Health Work in Some Instances. The following statement is made by the local Board of Health. The Herald gladly gives space to this complaint and appeal, and feels sure it will only be necessary to call attention to the practices complained of. and that when brought to their attention, the citizens will render to the men who have pledged their efforts and money that Bamberg's health may be improved, a better spirit of cooperation from the people of the town: "Efforts are being made for the improvement of health and sanitary . r\r n^itiAn r\ f nur /-?? + Tr An* Vi qo 1 f Vi ll m l 1 U XX KJ X VJ 111 V-> i ? vy u, x XX ^ u. 1 lil officer makes weekly reports to the board of health, and recommendations are made with respect to removal of hogs from the corporate limits, moving closets from ditch banks, destroying breeding places of mosquitoes?by filling up old wells and keeping all receptacles of water which stagnates about your premises turned over, and cooperate with the board of health in the maintenance of work of the health and drainage district as begun last year by the International ^Health bo^rd. We notice in some places ditches are being completely filled up and fences built in the ditches. Again, a road has been made across the ditch by filling up the ditch, and where ditches are near dwellings quantities of tin cans, bottles, and all kinds of trash are thrown in the ditch. All this is discouraging to the fifteen citizens who have borrowed $3,500, and are paying interest on same, in order that this important work be carried on, and such carelessness and deliberate hinderances compel the health board to use the law. "Citizens, we need cooperation? cooperation, please, for your health's sake. We have a good supply of ^critics, kickers, and riders. Oh! for nore sympathizers, pullers, and work- j ers.

The Redpath clrautauqua will be presented in Bamberg from April 20 to 25, both inclusive, under the auspices of the Apollo Music club.

He Le was told the law provided no license at all for shows of his variety, that 0 the law did allow lyceum attractions, 3_ chautauquas, and circuses to give pern formances here for stated amounts, 3 and inasmuch as the outfit did not t resemble either a Chautauqua or a lv1_ ceum attraction, the only thing left * in the category was a circus. If he ^ cared to consider his show a circus, ,e he could pay circus license of $100 t_ a day and go ahead. Likewise the town clerk slipped the information that the town would have to collect $25 a day for showing; total, $125. This caused some reflection, and n > the crowd gave Bamberg up as a bad proposition and beat it out of town, l~ and probably the town will live to get over it. The Florida "blossoms'' (not orange) was here a few days before and succeeded in raising the "spon." d INSTALLING SEWERAGE. G. O.

Dr. E. W. Sites, of Coker College, Will Be Here Sunday A. M. President E. W. Sikes, of Coker college, is expected to speak at the Baptist church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. He will probably address the men's class at 10 o'clock. Dr. Sikes is an able man, a scholar of note, and it will be a source of disappointment if you fail to hear him. One of the tragedies of this day is that so few parents have their children stay to the preaching service, in the forming of habits in these young lives it is necessary that the spiritual nature as well as the mental should be developed. The men's class wrill have charge of the prayer meeting this week. The prospects for a good service are fine. The best testimony to the power of religion is a consistent Christian life. That was a fine B. Y. P. U. meeting last Sunday evening. A number of the young people agreed to help in the regular mid-week prayer meeting. The B. Y. P. U. meets every Sunday evening an hour before preaching service. All young people are invited to attend. The pastor will preach Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. The service will be evangelistic. Come and bring your friend. Next Sunday is the day for you to s begin attending Sunday school. Be there by 10 o'clock. "0.*' Renew your subscription today. A GREATER CARLISLE. 9 Education Movement of Methodist Church Means Much. The value of an institution of learning in a community can hardly be estimated. Whenever one is proposed many towns immediately _ bid for it and vie with each other in their efforts to secure its location. Chester recently pledged to the Baptist denomination one hundred thousand dollars for a preparatory school. Bamberg is fortunate in having Carlisle school located here, and has watched with pride its growth from a small institution with few scholars to one of the largest and best preparatory schools in the south. Col. J. C. Guilds, under whose adm irn'stratinri thp cr>hnn1 has ripvplon ed to its present standing, had the vision and planned for more than a preparatory school, and the present management is carrying forward the same progressive idea. Another class was added and today the institution is practically doing junior college work. The education movement now on in the Methodist church will mean much both to Carlisle school and Bamberg. The amount allotted to Carlisle is one hundred and five thousand dollars. When the allotments were being considered the administration, in view of the advanced work being done, endeavored to have the amount made larger but could not as each preparatory school in the church was placed on the same basis. The money that will come to Carlisle will be used to liquidate the present indebtedness and add to the equipment. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars is needed to place the school in a position to thoroughly do the work demanded. The present pressing of the school is another modern dormitory, infirmary, and auditorium, together with a central heating plant. These will be erected as soon as sufficient funds are available. It is the hope of many that the time is not far distant when Bamberg will be a real college city. How soon this will be depends on the loyal cooperation of her citizens in an enterprise that means much to the moral, intellectual and financial welfare of the community. t m * m SPEAKING TOUR. Hi*. C. E. Burts and Secretaries to Visit Barnwell Association. Rev. C. W. Jones, chairman of the conservation commission of the seventy-five million dollar campaign, announces that Dr. C. E. Burts, secretary-treasurer of the Baptist general board of this state, with his secretaries will visit the Barnwell association on a speaking tour on Sunday, April 17. The following engagements are announced: Ehrhardt field: Dr. C. J. Thompson will speak at St. John's at II a. m.; Hunter's Chapel 4 p. m., Ehrhardt 8:15 p. m. i Dr. T. W. Derieaux will speak at Mt. Calvary at 11 a. m., and at Williston at 8 p. m. Dr. C. E. Burts will speak at Barnwell at 11 a. m.; Cypress Chapel in the afternoon, and at some point at night, to be arranged. Dr. M. W. Whiteside will speak at Ulmers at 11 a. m.; Bethel at 3:30 p. m., and at Sycamore at 8 p. m. Dr. Chas. A. Jones will visit the Double Pond field. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Davis, will arrange the schedule. It is urgently requested that as many as can visit these points and hear the speakers, and it is hoped that as soon as possible speakers will visit all the churches. ^ < > m* Fairfax 2, Ehrhardt 4. Ehrhardt won a fast and snappy game on her home grounds from the Fairfax ball team by a score of 4 to 2. Keel, the Fairfax receiver, was hurt in the first inning, making a change in pitcher necessary. Kearse, the Ehrhardt hurler, received air tight support except in the sixth when errors filled the bases, but he tightened up and pulled out. The spectacular playing of Morningstar on second and a long running catch, which looked like a sure hit, by Herndon in left, wer& the features. Purcell, for Ehrhardt, got two hits out of four times up, thus maintaining his percentage of 500 for the season. The score by innings: R H Ehrhardt ..2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 *?4 6 Fairfax ..0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0?2 4 Batteries: Kearse and Zeigler; Barker, Youmans, and Keel, Barker. 3 base hits: Fennell; 2 base hits: Burckhalter.

I NO TIDINGS FROM EVANS. Escaped Murderer is Still at I^arge. T Several Clues Followed. Up to the time of going to press Wednesday there had been no tid- b< ings from Preston Evans, the self- s( confessed murderer of Tobe Williams, m who escaped from the Bamberg coun- 11 ty jail Tuesday night of last week. r: A number of clues have been fol- Si lowed, and the officers are continu- ti ing their vigilance, but up to this time nothing definite has been heard tl of Evans since he was met in the road tl between Bamberg and Edisto river a D short time after his escape. E Saturday Sheriff Ray received word tl that a suspected character had been arrested in Columbia, who answered S the description given of Evans. Sun- P day the sheriff went to Columbia to see the suspected negro, but found ^ that he was not his man. e The local authorities were also advised of the arrest of suspects at h Kingstree and Cheraw. Full descriptions were wired to both places, with E the request that the men be held t until it is certain whether either of them is the man Wanted in Bam- ^ berg. Sheriff Ray announced last week E that a reward of $50 will be paid for the apprehension of Evans. Walton, the white man who escaped at the same time from the jail, ^ likewise has not been heard of since. Walton presumably came from Au- gusta, where it is said that he has a family. He was in jail on the charge of car breaking at Denmark. tl JAIL IN BAD SHAPE. Sheriff Calls Attention to Lack of Security at Prison. Sheriff Ray states that the condition of the county jail is such that it is well-nigh impossible to prevent jail deliveries. The recent escape ofvPreston Evans, and Walton, a white man, f causes the sheriff to renew his re- _ i suest that steps be taken to equip the county jail properly so that escapes may not be easily accomplish- ~ ed. The sheriff says that the bars to the windows are nothing but ordinary " $ iron, very small at that, and that j any two strong men working toge? ther can pry them open sufficiently to escape. He says the bars should be made of steel that cannot be bent. c Several jail deliveries have been ef- g fected in recent years because of this condition. . The sheriff hopes that arrangements will be made for the proper E improvements at the jail in order that E criminals might not be able to so eas- ~ ily effect their escape. ^ 4 g County Census Figures. ^ b The following county census figures are announced by the census bureau for the counties in this section: q Pop.
