Short Locals.

Miss Lillian NIX IS the winner VI tue
scholarship in Winthrop college from
this county.
The election here passed off quietly
Tuesday. Little interest was manifested
and a small vote polled.
Mr.. NJ. Jennings is at work on the
well at the graded school, and hopes to
have flow in short time.
Fine weather we've had recently for
harvesting cotton and hay, and the farm.
ers are taking advantage of it.
G. Frank Bamberg has moved into his
large brick sales stables and buggy re-
pository. His large new stock is arriving
daily.
Rev. c. NJ. Billings, pastor of the
Blackville Baptist church, will supply the
Baptist pulpit in Bamberg on next Sun
day evening
Chief of police s. A. Hand is having
the trees on the streets trimmed. The
work is being we'll done, and the improve.
ment is very noticeable.
City council ought to have street signs
put up ON all the street corners of the
city containing the names of the streets.
The cost would not be great.
On account of the sickness of some OF
our force and the absence Of the editor,
several local matters of interest were
omitted in last weeks issue.
If you owe The Herald anything, kind
ly let US have it at once. We need every
dollar due US, and we need it now. Our
creditors are getting impatient.
We regret the contemplated departure
of Mr.. Henry J. Brabham, Jr., and faml-
". Bamberg can i'll afford to have such
people leave US. We need such young,
energetic, progressive business men.
A number of Fitting School students
arrived Tuesday and Wednesday, and
others will arrive this and next week.
The indications are for the largest en-
rollment in the history of the school.
We congratulate Brother Rowell, of
the Bamberg Times, on his reelection as
school commissioner and auditor OF his
county. He cleaned up two opponents
on the first 60 round.-Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.
We regret that we have not been able
to deliver job work promptly for the past
two weeks. The absence of the editor
and the sickness of most of our force has
put us badly behind. We hope to catch
up this week.
The public artesian well shows dis.
position to stop flowing, 80 all private
pipes have been cut off. If you want
water now, you must 60 to the we'll. The
watering trough for stock has been
moved to the well from Hsys's corner.
Court convenes next Monday morning.
There are few criminal cases to be tried
and there Is not q great amount OF civil
business. It is likely that court will not
continue longer than one week and that
the second week petit jurors will not be
needed.
Cotton is coming to this market right
along, and fine prices are being paid.
Buyers are here representing the firms OF
Heath & Co., Inman & Co., and Sprunt &
Sons. In addition to this, most OF our
merchants are in the market, and our
farmers can rest assured OF receiving the
highest prices.
Mr.. W. d. Bamberg died at his home
few miles above town last Saturday a
week ago. The interment was at the
Denmark cemetery the following day.
He was about ffty-six years old and
leaves wife and several sons and daugh.
ters. He had been in bad health for a
year or more.
The cotton mill will probably. shut
down Friday and Saturday OF this week
in order that the final connections may
be made from the large new engine to the
machinery. An extensive rope drive is
to be- used from the engine to the mill
machinery, and it will take several days
to connect it all up.
Mr.. G. NJ. Harvey, who was born in
Barnwell district, about three miles from
Broxton's Bridge, 72 years ago, was shot
and killed on the 26th ult. at the home of
his son in Beaufort county. William
Bennett, negro who went from Ehr-
hardt, is in jail charged with the crime.
-Bsrnwell People.
jeff ]. Hughes, who was confined in
Jail here for beating his wife, gave bond
last week and was released. The case
against him is to be tried at the term OF
court next week. The charge against him
is assault and battery Of a high and aggra.-
vated nature, and the amount of the bond
is $500. Mr.. C. R. Brabham and Col. I. j.
Counts are the bondsmea.
CT. Rizer at Olar will soon receive
large and well assorted stock Of millinery.
His milliner, Miss Pullen, will arrive on
Wednesday, September 10Th, from the
Northern markets, where she has purchas-
ed line of millinery and fancy goods
which will certainly please her customers.
She will be pleased to show the ladies the
latest fashions, SO call early.
Some newspapers inveigh against the
practice of candidates filling the columns
of the county papers with cards of thanks
after the primaries. If all editors would
do like The Herald, charge for these
cards as all other advertising, candidates
would soon stop the practice: 1t has
about died out in this county. Most poll
ticians do not care to give thanks when
they have to pay for 1t.
There are three firms of cotton factors
represented here by special buyers.
These three firms are among the strong
est in the South, and this outside bidding
will give an impetus to the local market.
While the buyers will make their pur.
chases from the local buyers, still there
