Will Fr, the rr ill i v i w ?nv New Parking Rulei R. M. Rowell, painter, .'has beer busy this week "decorating" Mail street for the new parking and traffic regulations recently inaugurated bj the city council of Bamberg. As one onlooker expressed it, Main streei now looks like a huge barber pole the street being laid off into parking spaces on both sides, with a centra! passageway, in which no car is tc bevallowed to park. Main street is too narrow for a town t'he size o? Bamberg, but it is too late to discuss that now. The town has been built up with a verj Knoinaeo t Vinrnn fa rp iliau^4ua^ UUUiUVlJW WAAV* VMg4k**??* and the only thing to be done now is to make the street of. Che greatest possible benefit to the, people of the town and the visiting people, having in view the convenient use of the street by vehicles and pedestrians, and the greatest possible safety foi all. In order to carry out this idea two "dead lines" have been established a convenient distance from the sidewalks. Between these lines and Jhe sidewalks no cars may travel, and no cars may be parked outside of these lines. The parking spaces are divided into convenient parking sections, by the use of which cars may and make exit without difficulty and without overcrowding. Mayor Thomas says the new traffic regulations are to be strictly enforced. The police officers are instructed to use all necessary tact in getting the new rules into proper force, and after a brief period in whidh the traveling public may become familiar with the regulations, violators will be punished in the mayor's court. This action is taken for the convenience and safety of the public, and once the parking rules are well established there should be a great improvement on Main street, and congestion should be avoided. This congestion is especially noticeable on Saturdays and other days on which th streets are crowded. B. Y. P. U. Rally at Blackville. The following is the programme ol the B. Y. P. U.

Propose to Combine e Voorhees and Claflin d Bamberg will be interested .n the r following article printed in the Co d lumbia Record Sunday, written by a colored preacher, Rev. I. E. Lowry, e which tells of plans to consolidate Voorhees, near Denmark, with Claf lin, the joint school coming into Bami berg county, and the sale of the pres ent Claflin property to the state to be f used as additional room for expansion of the State Colored college: News has reached Columbia of a t prospective deal between the board ) of trustees of Claflin university and - the trustees of Voorhees college. The d former college is located at Orange? burg and the latter at Denmark. In f this deal it is proposed to unite the 3 two colleges which shall be called "The Voorhees-Dunton college." It i is- also proposed to sell Claflin to the 3 state of South Carolina with all of its - lands and buildings which is t? be - added to the negro state college. Tnis - will give them a greatly enlarged r plant and will enable them to provide for another thousand students. The new "Voorhees-Dunton college 1 is tb be a great college built on the 5 plan of the Tuskegee Normal and In1 dustrial institute. The Voorhees college owns at present more than 300 1 acres of good farming land. It is 3 located about two miles from the 1 tpwn of Denmark. It is well equip, ped with buildings and live stock and - has an endowment of more than $100,000. This school was founded v.. TTTwiorVit o rniinor PrtlnroH uy ?uwiyu vvngut, a. j uuu6 wiui v? woman who was educated at Tuskeegee. Ex-Senator Mayfield assisted 5 'her in her efforts to secure a site and since its founding has been a trustee, i This woman endeavored to build her i school after the plan of Tuskegee, J her alma mater. She died a few r years ago, and is buried on the cams pus of Voorhees college. But this t school has had a steady growth un> der the management of Prof. Martin f A. Menafee, manager, and Rev. E. R. I Roberts as principal. > Rev. L. M. Dunton, D. D., L. L. D., who for nearly 50 years, has been l president of Claflin, has made the > university his beneficiary. At his ' death all his property goes to Claflin, r hence J!he joint boards of trustees of , the two colleges propose to honor 5 him by naming the new college for him. ' The property of Claflin university > is held in trust by a board of trustees with headquarters in Cincinnati, > Ohio. This board sent one of its rep' resentatives to Claflin during its recent commencement, who also visit> ed the Voorhe#s plant at Denmark. - A committee of the Cincinnati board will come later to make further int vestigaticms. \ i The wisdom of planting two col' leges as close as Claflin and the State 1 college have been planted, has been ' questioned by wise men. And while there has been no serious trouble be tween them, yet little unpleasant frictions have arisen from time ,to ; time, but these were kept down by cool heads on both sides of the fence. These two colleges were once one, f and when it was thought beet to , ' separate them, the church offered to > buy the state out but the 3tate re1 fused to sell. Now the church offers ' to sell to the state and what the outcome will be waits to be, seen. Some of the patrons think well of the plan and others do nob: But; they are a group of wise men both on the ' part of the church and of the state who are handling the matter. It may ' take two or three years to consum mate the deal and to complete the transfer. Contractor Begins Work on the fBranchoille ) ' G.

Picture Contest will Close Next Tuesday Tuesday, June 20th, is the closing date of the bee-hive picture contest. All answers to the contest must be mailed on or before that date. All answers not received at this office on or before Tuesday, must be postmarked at the office of mailing not later than June 20th. Kindly bear this in mind, contestants, and be sure that your answers are mailed in time. The picture puzzle contest has proved to be quite a popular feature in Bamberg county and surrounding territory, and numerous persons have found much amusement and entertainment in finding b-words. Inasmuch as many of the contestants have waited until the last week to send in their answers, we offer a word for their benefit, as it may not be possible to reach them before the cofltest closes in any other way: Read the rules carefully, prepare your answers neatly, and use one side of the paper only; although no answers will be disqualified because of using both sides of the paper, but it will save us much time if only one side is used. Number your words f rrvm 1 rvn ? n J.i VU1 JL VU u * As we have stated previously, everyone, white or colored, may send in answers, and all will be treated alike, strictly on their merits. As to 1 whether or not a subscription is included will have no bearing on the award of the prizes, but it will determine the amount of the prize. You may send in your answers without any subscription if you like, but by inclosing a one, two or three year subscription, or one subscription, for one, two or three years, the prizes are increased according to the scale published in the contest advertisement. There are positively no strings tied to this contest. The editors of The Herald do not know the correct answers to the puzzle picture and will not know until the contest closes, therefore we could not, if w& wanted | fVlOn I IU, unci niiy ^llggcsuuno U1.UC1 muu those included in the contest adver^ tisement. A master list of words will be furnished by the artist who drew the picture, after the 20th of June, and $his master list will be used in arriving at the correct or nearest correct list of words submitted. As stated#in the advertisement, a margin of 15 words will be allowed for an 'honest difference of opinion concerning any objects shown in the picture. While all answers must be mailed on or before next Tuesday, it will probably be two weeks later before the award of prizes can be announced, as'it will require several days to go over- the numerous lists -submitted. In the meantime, if any contestant who has submitted a list of words p? without enclosing a subscription cares to do so, he^or she may forward a remittance and thus qualify for one of the larger prizes in the event of winning. The Herald will accept remittances until Tuesday, 'June 27, provided the list is submitted by June 20th. If you have submitted a * list and . sent no subscription, and you care to take advantage of this offer, send your subscription, or subscriptions not later than Tuesday, June 27.v Subscriptions mailed after that date cannot be credited on the contest answers. * We want to make this plain, however: Enclosing a subscription will havci nnsitivplv no bearing on winn ing the prizes. If your list of words entitles you to first prize, you will receive a check for $3.00, if no subscription is sent, and if a subscription is sent, the prize will be increased to $25, $35 or $5*0, according to the amount of your subscription. We think the matter is clear to everyone now, and this is the last no tice that will appear in regard to tne contest picture. Fix up your list, be sure you have it according to the rules, and mail it today, with or without subscription, as you see fit. The winners will be announced just as soon as possible; we cannot fix the exact date at this writing. And you may qualify your answer with a subscription not later than June 27, or you may increase your subscription already sent in, if you wish.

C'iz Protest Increase of Land Assessment What promises to be one of the liveliest meetings held in Bamberg in a long time is to be held Friday morning, June 16, at the court house in Bamberg, when farmers and other parties interested are invited to meet with the state tax commission to discuss the matter of the increase cf the assessment for taxation of Bamberg county farm lands from $4.69 per acre to $6.40. The meeting has been called for 10 o'clock in the forenoon7, and every one interested in the matter is cordially invited to attend this meeting. It will be recalled that the county auditor recently received notice from the state tax commission that land assessments in this county must be in? ^ rj 1 ? - creased an average 01 $r.< r per acre, or about 36% over the assessment of former years. Representative J. C. Kearse immediately took the matter up with the commission and stated the facts in regard to local conditions and asked the commission to rescind its order insofar as it concerned Bamberg county. The commission at first was inclined to dismiss the appeal, but further and subsequent correspondence resulted in the commission agreeing to comefto Bamberg to investigate for itself the conditions that Drevail in this county, setting the date above referred to for the visit. It is a free, public meeting, and you are invited to come and take part in the discussion. It is all very well to discuss the matter of taxes on the street corners, but that kind of dist cussion gets ^owhere. The order has | already been issued, and the fight | now is to have it taken off. If you fail to put in appearance, and the I order is not rescinded?and it will not be unless the commission is persuaded that it should be?you will I 'have no one to blame but yourself. I The meeting will be held on Jmday, June 16, at 10 a. m., at the court house in Bamberg. Holly Hill Couple Married. \ _____ Holly Hill, June 12.?Miss Lillie Inabinette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
