The Bamberg Herald boasts of the fact
that there are so few failures in business

A negro left his team of mules stand
ing on the street last Saturday morning,
with only a little negro boy to hold them.
They decided to 60 into the lot back of
Nimmons' barber shop and the boy could
not stop them. On the way they ran the
wagon into top buggy belonging to
Mrs. Sallie Sandifer and crushed one Of
the wheels. A little child was seated in
the buggy which came very near being
overturned. Had it been no doubt the
child would have been seriously hurt.
The negro was arrested and made to pay
for new wheel. This is only the result
of allowing teams to block Main street.
The street is entirely too narrow to be
used as hitching ground.
