Passing of the QuartO Herald.

The mechanical mountains Of diff.
ficulty which have been almost in
surmountable obstacles in the path
of publication of the "NEw HER
ALD," have so seriously delayed the
issuance of this paper-therefore re.
stricting its space-that 'FSecundo," !"
of the above captioned article, has
to 60 over until our next publica-
ton day.
1t relates the mishaps aud diff
culties which marked the journey
of the Printer and the Devil, across
the country to Orangeburg, to get
printed the forms for the issue of
The HERALD dated July Is, and is
as full of the tragedy of despair. and
the comedy of failure, as the article
which described the "Setting up of
the Press"
1t was the original purpose of the
writer to relate the story IN two
numbers, but the crowding in of
new experiences makes it necessary
to publish three articles. In our
next issue will appear the "Secun-
do" and the following week we
shall print the "Tertio' and final IN
stalment of as interesting story OF
difficulties overcome as the average
man ever reads.

Bamberg Guards Organized.

The young men of the town met
last Wednesday evening at the ar
mory and reorganized the Bamberg
Guards.
Mai. Havelock Eaves was called
to the chair, and explained the OBJ
iect of the meeting, the benefits to
be derived from military company
in our county, etc. The following
officers were then elected:
: Cantain-Havelock Eaves.
First Lieutenant-W. R. Wright.
Second .Lientenant-D. Bowling.
Orderly Sergeant-E. L, Price.
@. NJ. Sergeant--H. A. Wright.
Sergeants-C. 1. Barton, T. O..
OFT. ". G. Dickinson, E. G. Hunter.
Corporals-I. B. Fielder, +. J.
Free, James Spann, Henry Bamberg,
T. ". Pearlstin, S. H. Wentworth.
The company was then formed,
and, after a short practice drill, was
dismissed till further orders.
We hope that our citizens will
support the company literally, in
order that the organization may be
made one of which we all may be
proud. The young men give their
time and money to the cause, and
surely our citizens will give them
all the financial assistance they may
need.

sally LOYed. PaSSeS Away.
Capt. Allen F. Free has closed his
eyes in that sleep which is eternal.
The long and useful life of this
Christian gentleman, this man of all
those virtues characteristic of the
man of "the old school," was termi-
mated last Monday morning at $50
o'clock. The sad news of his death
was a great shock to the community,
for while Capt. Free had been indis-
posed for several months, nobody
realized, save those nearest his fam
lily, the seriousness of his condition.
All Barnwell county vii! say: "a
good man is no more-his was a
character that was spotless.
Deceased was public spirited, was
widely loved, and took an active in
terest in public matters and ques-
tions, AS evidence Of the esteem in
which he was held by his fellowmen
and the confidence imposed in him,
he was twice elected to the Legisla-
ture, and served this county as
Treasurer from 1890 to the time of
his death, He was a jealous and
painstaking official.
In the affairs of life he did not
forget his duty to his Maker. He
was a consistent member of the
Baptist Church, to promoting the
welfare of which he contributed
generously.
Capt. Free was seventy-three years
of age, A wife and large family
survive him, to whom deep sympathy
is extended.
The burial took place at Spring
town Church. Rev. ". d. Rice
preached the funeral sermon. The
remains were inferred with Masonic
honors.
Thus the sun has set on a life
marked by all that was noble and
worthy-the pen Of man cannot do
it justice.-Barnwell Sentinel.
