The friends of Bert Dannelly, of Ekrhardt, will regret to learn of his illness at a Charleston hospital. Mrs. Hattie M. Stubbs is confined to a hospital in Charleston for treatment, and her many friends trust that she will soon be able to return home. Wilmot Compton, who has worked at the power house for some ten or twelve years; died Saturday morning. Compton was a good workman and his death is a matter of general regret among whites and blacks. Carlisle played the Wofford Fitting school in Spartanburg Tuesday to a tie, 5 to 5. The local fans were very much elated over this result, as the, Fitting school is one of the most formidable of the teams Carlisle is goiner ud against this season. The ladies of the Baptist missionary society have invited the ladies o? the Methodist and Presbyterian societies to meet with them Tuesday afternoon at the Baptist church at 4 o'clock. There will be discussions of such nature as will tend to uplift the community and create Christian fellowship. The annual memorial exercises of the Rivers Bridge Memorial associa- ' tion will be held today at Buford's Bridge. Hon. J. F. Carter, of Bamberg, Hon. George Warren, of Hampton, and Mrs. Lawton, of Charleston, ar? speakers on the programme. A large number, as usual, expects to attend the exercises from Bamberg. A number of Bamberg people went to Williston Monday afternoon and to Blackville Monday night to hear Gypsy Smith, Jr., the famous evangelist who made addresses at these places. Mr. Smith is conducting a great revival in Augusta, and Monday being his off-day, he was induced to come to this state for two sermons. Solicitor Hydrick, of Orangeburg, stated Tuesday that the case against G. W. Land, under charge of misappropriation of funds, would be called at the spring term of criminal court, which meets in Orangeburg on Monday. Land was the former manager of the Palmetto Business college. ^ A number of former patrons of Land's school in this county are interested in this case. The election on the question of giving the commissioners of public utilities the authority to sell th? power house and water system of the city will be held on May 12th, according to the notice of election elsewhere in The Herald. Voters may register for this election ten days? before the election date, and those who have registered for the regular council election next week need not register again for the special election. ? A letter from a colored subscriber contains such good logic that we hope he will pardon us for printing it just as written: "Thanking you ever so 1 much for sendin my paper on for I raly love to Read The Herald while i am at Kline for a few month but 1 when i gets Home i all ways Reads ] The Herald first so i in close .50. cts ' in Stamps to Keep it com ing. Yours s troly." He" might not write as well as some folks, but he certainly knows good literature when he sees it. 4 The Carlisle base ball team left j Monday morning for Spartanburg, . where the boys engaged the Wofford Fitting school in mortal combat Tuesday afternoon. From Spartan- J burg the boys go to greenwood, ? i - ? j. ?;.v, 1 4 wnere mey piay iwu sanies ?nu Bailey Military institute, and from there they will go to Augusta and play two games with the Richmond academy. Tne band and the school / battalion saw the boys off, and gave them a rousing send-off at the train. The Ehrhardt base ball team played three games during the past few days, with the Santee Mills team, ] the Denmark team, and the Dunbarton team. The game with Santee Mills resulted in a verdict for Ehrhardt 16 to 1, like the proverbial , free silver plank of William Jennings : Bryan; the Dunbarton game was lost ] by Ehrhardt 5 to 6, while Ehrhardt j won the Denmark game 12 to 6. The 1 Herald regrets its inability to print : detailed accounts of these games, but 1 owing to a delay this week consid- ( erable matter is omitted. It will be interesting news to the 1 congregation of the Presbyterian church, especially, and the town gen- 1 erally, to know that the pastor. Rev. : Phillip A. Mikel, expects to move to Bamberg in the next week or so, and that he and his estimable wife will I remain here at least during the summer months. Rev. Mr. Mickel and Mrs. Mickel have endeared them- < selves to the people of the town during their short connection with the Presbyterian church, and a warm wel- < come awaits them upon making Bam- < berg their home. It is hoped that ; their residence here will be permanent. SIGNED FOR ANOTHER YEAR. Chautauqua Closed Monday Evening, and Contract Again Signed. With the entertainment of Monday evening the Redpath Chautauqua came to a close. The closing entertainment consisted of a prelude by the Swiss yodlers and cartoons by Evelyn Bargelt. During the intermission the floor manager, Mr. Kelly, arranged for the signing of a contract for the return of the Chautauqua next spring, with the assistance of Rev. S. O. Cantey and C. W. Rentz, Jr., who secured the necessary number of guarantors. Thirty gentlemen combined their signatures to guaram tee the Chautauqua people $1,250 for the return engagement next year. Only 25 signatures were necessary. The Redpath Chautauqua bureau has given the people of Bamberg five days of excellent entertainment, and while some of the people feel that the times are too stringent for the expenditure of such i large sum for entertainment, it seems t/be the prevailing majority of opinion that it is money well spent, in that it provides high class entertainment that is elevating and helpful,to fhe community. The prdgramme rendered during the five days was one of variety and provided entertainment for all classes of entertainment-seekers. There were classic numbers, light operatics, jazz music, humorous selections, serious lectures, and a wide variety of musical numbers. If there was a number that did not appeal to all, there was a number to take its place, and it is safe to say that the vast majority of patrons of the Chautauqua were decidedly of the opinion that they received their money's worth. The first afternoon's entertainment consisted of a concert by four young ladies, who rendered a variety programme of classical and popular selections. The same evening another concert was given followed by a lecture by George L. McXut. Thursday's programme consisted of a recital of classical numbers by the Stolofsky company, and in the evening another prelude by the same company and a lecture by Harry L. Fogleman. Miss Stolofsky was undoubtedly the finest violinist ever heard in Bamberg, and her renditions were enjoyed immensely by all classical music lovers. The lecture by Gatling Gun Fogleman was a feature of the whole programme. He spoke at the i rate of 300 words a minute for an hour and a half, and electrified his listeners with facts, figures and conclusions. Friday's programme brought Dunbar's hussars, a band organization that cativated the people. The programme was so varied that it suited every taste. This was perhaps the most versatile organization that has ever entertained the people of the town. It was in every way a most worthy entertainment. In the afternoon Beulah Buck gave a short programme of readings and sketches. Saturday's lecture by Dr. E. T. Hagerman was said by those who heard it as being the finest lecture ^ ^ Dft A + n i f o SVtjr IieclI'Q lil JDCUIUJC15. U.1&J.11, a. comedy, "Nothing But the Truth," was given by a New York cast. The comedy has been on the road for many years, but it was new to most Df the hearers here, and was enjoyed ilmost as much as "It Pays to Advertise" was last year. The concluding entertainment was rendered by the yodlers and Miss Bargelt, both of which were excellent numbers. "Daddy" Grobecker inbedded himself firmly in the hearts Df the chautauqiua patrons, and it is safe tc^say that if his company ever returns to Bamberg it will meet with i warm reception. The children's hour was a very at:ractive feature of the entertainment luring the five days. -Miss Ralston, a jharming young woman, entertained the little folks in a royal manner 5verv day. TELEPHONE PROTEST. Bamberg Citizens Attend Meeting in Columbia On Tuesday. A number of representative citizens named as delegates from various parts of the state met in Columbia Tuesday and perfected an organization, the purpose of which is to seek to bring about a fair adjustment of telephone rates and service to the patrons of the Southern Bell company iri South Carolina. C. F. Rizer, of Olar, was named as one of the executive committeemen. LaVerne Thomas and J. J. Smoak attended the meeting as representatives from Bamberg. The executive committee is vested with the authority to take such ac;ion as is necessary to bring about the result desired by the organizaion, which is the result of the recent increase in telephone rates in this state. The friends of N. P. Smoak will be delighted to learn that after his recent operation in Charleston for appendicitis, he is recovering, and it is thought that he will be able to return home in the next week or two. CITY ELECTION TUESDAY. Mayor, Alderman and One Commissioner to be Selected. Those who have been hoping and praying for live politics in Bamberg have their wish fulfilled. The town election to be held next Tuesday bids fair to be the warmest of many years in this city, and it is safe to predict that whoever is elected Tuesday will appreciate the honor for there is a sure-enough contest on. A feature of the election this year will be the voting of the ladies. It is said that about 125 ladies have registered for the municipal contest, 9nH flint thpv nrp p\'npcfiner to have a finger in the town pie this time. Their participation in the election is a welcome addition to town politics, and if the ladies decide to pool their votes, it is also a safe prediction that they will elect their choice. However, like men, they have varied tastes, so it is about as broad as it is long, and it is not likely that the. results of the election will be any different than if the election were left to the men. Another feature of the campaign is the fact that there is going to be a "big speaking" at the court house Thursday night at 8:30. All of the candidates are expected to make their maiden or old-maiden speeches and tell the voters all about their political aspirations. It is expected that the candidates must give their views on everything from the league of nations and their opinions in regard to the occupation of Yap down to the paving of Railroad avenue, I or up to it, just as you look at it. The Carlisle band will furnish music during the evening. Inasmuch as the ladies have $a special invitation to attend the meeting, the gentlemen will kindly refrain from stage-fright, and not make the fatal mistake of addressing the audience as fellow citizens. The candidates will have to dope out the cor rect salutation, as The Herald has not sufficiently studied political etiquette to offer any suggestions along this lfne. Every candidate is expected to reI ceive at least two votes, his own and his wife's. If he has not sufficient executive ability to induce his wife to vote for him, he ought to be defeated anyway. Seriously, though, the campaign is going along nicely. The gentlemen were nominated in good faith, 'and they have accepted the nomination in the same way. None of them expressed any desire to really want any of the offices, but as good citizens they are going to serve, and more than that, they have accepted the nomination with the spirit to win, and they are working for the honor. The Herald wishes to publicly commend every candidate for the public-spirited manner in which he is going after the honors, and it's only regret is that somebody is not going to be elected. However, that is not worrying any of the candidates. The following are in the race for mayor: F. K. Graham, IX J. Delk, LaVerne Thomas, W. D. Coleman, John Cooner. ^ J - ?? - Ai * rt /tATM lilt? aiuermaiixc Linnet ia './Uiiiyuocu of 0. A. Simmons, W. H. Chandler, E. L. Price, Jr., M. G. Cooner, B. T. Pelder, Dr. H. J. Stuckey, W. M.

Rhoad request The Herald to make the announcement that they are not in the race for aldermen. ?r-j ? BANKRUPT CASE HEARD. f Compromise Offered to Creditors by D. A. Reid, of Bamberg. A meeting of the creditors of D. A. Reid, of Bamberg, who was recently adjudged bankrupt, was held at the office of Pelham L. Felder, Jr., referee, in Orangeburg Monday. Attorneys representing Mr. Reid and his creditors were present, and the bankrupt was examined. Mr. Reid testified that he considered the value of his assets about $4,000, while claims against him aggregate about the same sum. S. G. Ray was appointed trustee, and he was authorized to take an inventory of the stock and convert the assets into cash. A compromise was offered by Mr. Reid to pay his creditors 25 per cent, of their claims. The offer was taken under advisement, but it was stated in Bamberg yesterday that the proposal had been rejected by a majority of the creditors. It is understood that the petitions calling for an election on the question of issuing $30,000 bonds for the erection of a high school building in Bamberg school district are being freely signed, and there appears to be n? doubt of the election being called. I What? Clean-up Week. Why? For better health.-r-adv. ANNUAL METTIXG HELD. Home Building and Loan. Association Makes Fine Showing. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Home Building and Loan association was held in the offices of Carter, Carter and Kearse Monday morning, at which the annual report of the secretary and treasurer was read and directors were elected for the ensuing year. The annual report showed the affairs of this youngest building and loan concern to be in splendid shape. The management of the association was roundly complimented by th? stockholders, and they felt that with such a splendid showing during a period of such difficulties that the association bids fair to make for its shareholders a most profitable investment during the remaining years of the series now running. The association has loans aggregating more than $50,000, and the association now has an income of considerable magnitude. The report of the secretary and treasurer was very neat and minute in every detail. The auditing committee had previously checked the statement. The statement showed that there are 1,810 shares of stock now outstanding on which hionthly payments are made. The concern has a maximum capitalization of two million dollars. The following gentlemen were reelected directors: J. W. Barr, N. P. Smoak, J. F. Carter, A. M. Brabham, H. X. Folk, J. J. Smoak, and A. L. Kirkland. At a subsequent meeting of the directors, the following officers were elected: President, J. F. Carter; vice president, J. W. Barr; secretary and treasurer, J. Carl Kearse. XO SECOND ELECTION. Plurality Vote Elects in Municipal Election Next Tuesday. An interesting question in regard to the municipal election next Tuesday is whether or not there will be a second election in the event one candidate for mayor and six for aldermen do not receive a majority of the votes cast. The city attorney has given it as his opinion that there will be no second election, and that a plurality vote' will elect next Tuesday. ^ Tsasmnch as there are five Drom inent gentlemen in the race for mayor, it is not at all unlikely that none of the candidates will receive a majority of the votes cast, and in this event the candidate receiving the highest vote will be declared elected mayor. In like manner, the six candidates receiving the highest vote for aldermen will be elected. The question has occasioned considerable discussion, and the city attorney, E. H. Henderson, looked up the law at the requestjof some of the candidates. . mm *mif mm REPORT OX BAMBERG WATER. Dr. Parker Says City Water Source is Free of Contamination. The following is the report of Dr. F. L. Parker, chemist and bacteriologist of the state board of health on analysis of sample of Bamberg water supply:.

The Carlisle base ball boys journeyed to Charleston on Saturday and engaged the Porter Military academy. The boys returned with a broken record, as Porter literally walloped them, the final score being 16 to 5 in Charleston's favor. This was the first reverse of the season for the Carlisle aggregation. Previously Carlisle had defeated Darlington in two games and Batesburg in two games, Orangeburg in one game, and also an off-game with Den mark. McLeod started out for the Carlisle team but was benched after the opening inning had been made. Fairev held the Porter boys well after that. He walked two men and fanned three. Sanders hurled a fine game for Porter, not extending himself because of the commanding lead. Women conductors employed on the Kansas City street cars do not work at night. Does Bamberg want to be in second place? Then get behind the cleanup campaign.?adv. 7T FUNERAL OF COMRADE. Body of John Henry Morris Interred at Olar. Olar. April 23.?Yesterday at Friendship Baptist church the remains of Private John Henry Morris, Company E. 178th infantry, Thirtieth division, were laid in their final resting place. Private Morris was killed in action about the time that Old Hickory was making itself famous as a breaker of the Hindenburg line. The body was brought from France, arriving in Olar Thursday. The Kearse-Morris Post, No. 64, American Legion, at Olar, took charge of the remains. The legion was assisted by the Rev. C. E. Peeler, Miss Amabel Neeley, the expression teacher at the Olar school, who rendered a solo, and Miss Sadie Harter, who accompanied Miss Neeley and furnished all the instrumental music. In spite of the inclement weather, a large crowd assembled to pay their last respects to one who made the supreme sacrifice for his country. It was for Private Morris and Private Ruby Kearse, also of the Thirtieth, the only other soldier from the vicinity of Olar who was killed in action, that the Olar American Legion post was named. A. M. Brabham Director. At a meeting of the newly organized South Carolina Public Health association in Columbia a 'few days ago, A. M. Brabham, of Bamberg, was named as one of the directors of the association. Mr. Brabham has taken an active part in the health movement in Bamberg and was one of the leaders in the malaria control work here. The association has as its object the centralization of the health organizations of the afate that better conditions might prevail throughout South Carolina. Membership is open to all who caret, to take an active part in public health work. ? m < >> Sunday School Day at Cope. Cope, April 24.?What used to be children's day, but now Sunday school day exercises, was observed at Union Methodist church this morning at 11 o'clock. The exercises were carried t out with a precision that did credit to the children and also to those who drilled them for this occasion. The church was decorated with cut flow- ' ers and potted plants, every seat was occupied and quite a number were compelled to stand. .Mr. Ingraham, ; the pastor gave a short talk, in place of an address that was to be given by Mr. Porter.

Drose. He leaves his widow, one brother, Jimmie Middleton, of Charleston, and two halfbrothers, Joe Dannells, of Charleston, and Robbie Dannells, of North Augusta to mourn his departure. j The remains were laid to rest at A the Midway burial grounds Sunday afternoon at two-thirty, Rev.

It should haves stated I one commissioner would be elected. The mistake was the result of the entire board resigning last year, at 1 which time the city council elected for the unexpired terms. Only one ^ j cimmissioner's term expires at the -j present time, that of Mr. Dickinson. ,, A Messrs. Rentz and Hays hold their J office for some time to come. It will fl be good news to the people of the ^ town to know that Mr. Dickinson has H consented to accept the office again ( if elected, and inasmuch as he has 9 no opposition, his election is assured. * Will Entertain Veterans.
