At Rivers Bridges.

Times change and men change with
them, but there is no waning in the love
and loyalty of the good people OF the
Saltkehatchie valley for the memories OF
the cause sanctifed for all time in their
hearts by the sufferings and sacrifices OF
the heroic men and women of the sixties.
The gatherings, year after year, at
Rivers Bridges testify to that, and meyer
before was that devotion more gloriously
pictured than on Thursday last in the
brave array of the grazing veterans,
their wives and their descendants to pay
honor to the stranger yet not forgotten
dead
The addresses of J. F. Carter, Esq, OF
Bamberg, and W. w. Lumpkin, Jr., OF
Columbia, were worthy Of the occasion,
as honorable to their heads as to their
hearts and as types of the new genera
tion on which the mantles Of their fathers
are falling they gave assurance that they
will keep the future as the gray heroes
made the past.-Barnwell People.

We thought the request blank feature
of the dispensary law was to be carried
out, but we understand that it is not be-
ing enforced in this county. What's the
matter?
Our prospects for new freight depot
for some time to come seem to be grow
ing beautifully less. A mass meeting OF
our citizens should be called to take
action on the matter. The Herald has
been trying to push matters for some
time, but all We have been able to secure
is promises.
~
The letter from the railroad commits
sion in another column in regard to a
new freight warehouse at Bamberg ex-
plains itself. 1t appears that the con-
tract for the building has not even been
piyen out. 1t looks like we will not have
the depot in time for the approaching
fall business. There should be some way
to force the railroad to relieve the stu
alton. We warrant if the company had
to pay forfeit for every day the town
was without the depot, it would soon be
built.

Dead az q Doofnat1.

"As dead as a doornail'' at first
seems utterly senseless, but becomes
lively and picturesque when we re-
member that knockers were once uni
versally used. Beneath the knocker, in
order to prevent disfiguring the door, q
large nail or bolt was driven. An i'm.
patient caller, waiting for the door to
be opened, would frequently use the
knocker with great force. and the ir'
responsiveness of the nail gave rise to
this expression.

One of Our Greatest Needs.

EDITOR Tue BAMBERG HERALD:-l was
pleased to see in your last issue the men-
ton of much needed warehouse. In
almost every town of any size there are
one or more standard warehouses costing
from $1,000 to $4,000, either already
completed or in course Of construction.
Our enterprising and manufacturing
town seems quite Indifferent on this sub
ject, though undoubtedly, it should inter
est every man in each line of business.
The time has come for enlargement, en-
lareement to meet the increasing de-
mands of commerce which we have in
vited to our door. The large supplies OF
cotton coming into this market must
necessarily be sacrificed unless some
place of storage is provided, and the sup
porters of our town, the farmers, will be
hurs. That will naturally cripple the
speed of business, but give them protec-
ton, and they will help to put into circu-
lation the large surplus which seems to
lie idle most of the fall months in our
banks. Should their cotton hit low
market when brought in, all that would
be necessary for them to do would be to
deposit in the warehouse, get certificate,
take it to the bank, and have it cashed
within few dollars of what the cotton
will bring, and at very low rate OF in
terest. This will enable the banks to
keep their money in circulation instead
of lying idle so long, and at the same
time the fermer who gets advancements
from the merchant can pay over to him
the certificate, or such monies as he may
draw on it from the bank. This would
relieve the merchant of any incum-
brances, incurred by such advancements,
hence it naturally behooves the mer-
chants to take very active part in es-
sablishing standard warehouse here for
what the farmers interest is should be
his pure and simple, and furthermore by
having such building at his command,
it is natural to suppose that he could
with impunity make unlimited purchases
in lots satisfactory to himself and thereby
get the advantage of not only the lowest
prices, but the lowest freight rates also.
The mills would find it very convenient
to store away their commodities; also
the broker who handles large supplies OF
hay, CORE, -four, ETC., and equally so for
those who handle buggies, carriages,
wagons and furniture in large quantities,
and all can enjoy the privilege of this
great convenience at moderate cost.
Ihope these suggestions may induce
Others of broader views and more
facile pen to bring this to the attention
of our citizens and cause immediate
action in this important matter.

the wishes of the council in reference
to the care of the tracks and street by
the company.
Both companies want to lay their
tracks on Main street, and there was
for time some discussion of the ad-
visibility of devoting such a large
proportion of the street to that pur-
pose. 1t was pretty clearly understood
from the tenor of the discussion how
ever, that both companies will be let
into the city nan equal footing and
that both will be allowed to use Main
street. The street is full 80 feet in
width and will allow plenty of space
on each side of the tracks should they
be placed side by side in the middle of
the street.
