We republish our election tables this
week, as this is the official result. Very
few changes were made in our figures,
and no results were changed, but 1t IS
well to have the official result as declared
by the executive committee as matter
of record.
Mrs. A. J. Foster, who has been visiting
relatives in Tennessee, was called home
to the bedside of her husband, Rev. A. j.
Foster, last Tuesday, who is sick with
typhoid fever. Miss Corbett, trained
nurse of Charleston, is attending him.
The Peoples Bank opened for business
Yesterday in the new building, and Cashier
w. Paul Riley is willing and anxious to
receive your deposits and cash your
checks, provided you have the money to
your credit. The building is certainly a
beauty and is handsomely finished inside.
Our election returns in last weeks is
sue were practically correct, the official
figures making few and only unimpor-
tant changes. This is record made by
few weekly newspapers which printed
their issue so soon after the election, and
we feel that we have right to be proud
of it.
Managers of election will please send
in their returns early next Tuesday after
noon, either by phone or wire, giving re-
suits for both State and county offices.
There are few candidates, and we ought
to get complete returns in Bamberg be-
fore sundown, as the polls close at four
o'clock.
Rev. Peter Stokes returned last Satur-
day morning from his vacation trip, but
did not preach at the Methodist church
Sunday morning, as he had to go to Den
mark to conduct the funeral services of
the little child of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Hand.
Mr.. H. G. Sheridan made an address at
the morning service and Mr.. Stokes
preach.d at night.
Misses Hannah and Edith Gale, who
have been conducting millinery bust
ness in Bamberg for the past two years,
moved their stock to Sumter this week,
where they will continue in the same
business. These young ladies were we'll
pleased with Bamberg, but there are now
three millinery stores here, and they be-
lieve Sumter is a more inviting field.
The public artesian well at the corner
near Copeland's store did not stop flow
ing entirely, as stated last week, but
went on after the the pipes were cut of
and it was opened up at the well proper.
1t is all right again now, and it is thought
that the flow is permanent. However,
the connections should again be made, so
that the people can get water in other
parts of town.
The Herald feels rather proud Of its
election news last week. We gave the
figures of the State candidates by day
light Thursday morning, and the people
of Bamberg knew the result several hours
before the daily papers arrived. Our
county table was complete also, and the
vote for every Office was given. Our
force worked all night to do this, but
we believe in giving the news while it is
news; no matter if it does cost us more
than we get out OF it.
