County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt EtchingS.

EHRHARDT, October 14.-Cotton
came in brisk last week, and found
ready market at good prices-sell-
ing at the close of the week at 11sss
Rev. ]. H. Wilson was in town sew
eral days last week. He preached a
fine sermon Sunday afternoon at the
Ehrhardt Lutheran church to an ap-
preciative congregation.
Several went possum hunting last
week. They caught two possums
and one coon. They say that the first
possum they found was up small
tree. They cut it down and bird
dog was the first one to get hold Of
Mr.. Possum, so he took the game and
ran off in the dark and so they went
to cutting other trees down in search
of the possum, and did not find that
the dog had the possum until they
cut five or six, the dog laughing at
them all the while. One of the
Young men was out all Sunday, hunt
ing coon tracks; says he found where
twenty-four coons went into Mr.:
Geo. Kinard's pindar patch last
night. Says he saw where they went
in and out. Wonder how he counted
them?
DIR. J. L. Copeland is trying to
work up an interest in the new rail-
road from Ehrhardt to Denmark by
way of Bamberg. He has some Sue
cess, but nothing like enough to
build one mile.
Our moneyed men are somewhat
afraid that the railroad will be
another enterprise like the cotton
oil mill at Bamberg years ago, so
don't bite at Bamberg towns enter
prises much.
DR.. J. H. Roberts was called to
Allendale last week to see the re-
mains of little Loadholdt Roberts
placed in his last resting place. Lit.
tie Loadholdt is the youngest son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyce Roberts. We
extend to the bereayed parents our
sympathy.

night; any way he left his card, stat
ing that he would give us a call soon.

OIL MILLS IN TROUBLE.
THEY ARE NOD MAKING ANY
MONEY THIS SEASON.
The Price of Seed is Very High and
There Has Been a Slump in
the Price of Oil.

COLUMBIA, Oct. 10.-There were
several prominent cotton seed oil
men in the city for a conference yes
terday. They had nothing to give
out for publication, but they appear
ed to be worried. The price Of seed
is advancing while there is a slump
in oil. >,
81 could not run my MILL" said
one well known manufacturer from
the eastern part of the State, If it
were not for the fact that l had sold
oil in advance. l had a contract for
Is cents and oil has gone to 81 cents.
Otherwise / would lose So on every
ton of seed crushed.
''The oil mills are in a serious pre-
dicament. They can't stop work,
for that means ruin. The machinery
would go to pieces and the labor
would become demoralized. Labor
is costing US from 10 to 20 per cent
more. We can't quit buying seed,
for our buyers would become dis
gusted and quit. And we can't exist
on the present prices. I know some
mills which are losing So to S. on
every ton of seed manufactured.
"Some people think the oil mill
business is a bonanza. I assure you it
is not. Some small mills have been
known to clear in one year a profit
nearly equivalent to the entire capi'
talization. But there must be con.
ditions favorable to such success
Such conditions do not exist today
Unless the price of oil should ad.
vance I do not know what will be

About the Herald.

This newspaper does not like to
blow it's own horn, but we want to
let the people of Bamberg know
that out-of-town patrons appreciate
awell-printed, attractive paper, with
the advertisements set up IN good
style. There is no question but that
a good newspaper helps town as
much or more than any other one
agency, and we are not displaying a
vulgar egotism when we say that
The Herald would reflect credit on q
much larger city than Bamberg:
We have had numbers of adyer-
tisers outside of town to compl-
ment us on the neat paper we get
out and the attractive manner IN
which their ads. were displayed, and
we publish in another column an ex-
tract from a letter received last
week, It is the same with our job
work customers. Time after time
have they written us letters saying
how well pleased they were with the
work we send out. Of course we
charge a little more than some print
ing houses, but the work we do is
worth it, for we take pains with
every job and use good paper. But
we don't charge more than the work
is worth. We are not getting rich.
as some people seem to think. We
manage to pay our debts by working
very hard, watching expenditures
closely, and living within our income
things every business man ought
to do and must do if he would be
successful.
We only mention these things oe-
cause some people in Bamberg seem
not to appreciate our work, and we
want to let them know that other
people do.

Death of frs. J. n. Fielder.

Mrs. j. M. Fielder Qled IN InlS Guy
Sunday afternoon after short IL
ness. She was fifty-four years old.
The burial took place Tuesday morn
ing at the family burying ground
on the Charleston and Augusta road,
a few miles below town. The SER
vices were conducted by Revs. A. j..
Foster and Peter Stokes.
Mrs. Fielder was a Miss Hooton
before her marriage, being sister
of Mr.. D. F. Hooton, cashier Of
Bamberg Banking Company.
She was a devoted Christian, and
had been member of the Baptist
church here for many years. She
is survived by her husband and seven
children, four boys and three girls,
the youngest of whom is about
grown, as we'll as numerous relatives:
The pail bearers at the burial
were: Messrs. C. R. Hooton, G. B.
Free, Jr., C. D. Fielder, j. E. Fielder,
I. B. Fielder and E. A. Hooton.
The strength and beauty of a good
woman's character is never shown so
plainly as in her discharge of the du-
ties of wife and mother. As to how
lovingly and devotedly she lived for
her home and her childrenis best at
tested by those who loved her so
tenderly and so well. Truly she
was devoted wife and mother, and
! she has left a place vacant in the
home which can never be filled. To
those who are so sorely bereaved we
extend sincere sympathy.

Kilroy e Britton's AN Aristocratic
Tramp" is just the sort or a melo-

Der of specialties of the play tell a
story of heavy villain, Stephen Grad
dock, and his efforts to secure him
self in the possession of the fortune
of Rose Darlington, an heiress. A
blow on the head deprived Ralph Oar
rington, the girls father, of his mem
DRY for many years, and their mother
is murdered by Craddock. BY a singu-
lar stroke of fate, after the lapse of
sixteen years another blow on the
head struck by a mission of the same
villain, Craddock, restores memory to
Darlington, who in the interval has
been wandering about the country in
the guise of a tramp. his identity hid
den even from himself and he recalls
the murder of his wife, then of course
there is a reunion of father and daugh-
ter Craddock dies the death he has
earned and all ends happily. The plot
offers opportunity for realistic rail-
road scene, an automobile race in the
mountains and many other features TO
delight the hearts of the gallery god. .

H9RN GROWS FROM
WOMAN'S FOREHEAD
An Unusual Case Comes to
light at Gratis in Preb-
lie County, Ohio
REMOVED BY AN OPERATION
ENTIRE GROWTH WAS SAWED
OFF-IT RESEMBLED A RAMS
HORN WOMAN'S GENERAL
HEALTH NOT AFFECTED.

Hamilton, o., Sept. 28.-An extra
ordinary and fully authenticated med
ical case has developed at Gratis, q
village in Preble county, ten miles
from Hamilton. II is reported by DR.
r. G. Lawrence, and substantiated by
several Hamilton doctors.
A woman. fifty-five years old, in the
village, developed horn on her fore
head. 1t grew to length of two in
ches and was attached to the skull.
Some two years ago she struck a door
and broke one inch from the Eony
growth. 1t again developed more rap
idly than before, and attained length
of five inches. 1t was about one inch
in diameter at the base and tapered
to a point.
Dr. Lawrence recently sawed off the
entire horn, which in every way re-
sembles rams horn. He confirms
the statement in all details and has
exhibited the growth to many Hamil-
ton physicians, who pronounce 1T
genuine horn. The woman's general
health is not affected.

Perhaps there has never been so
lavish and adequate production of
Uncle Toms Cabin as that which
VIM. kibbie will offer amusement
lovers October 8, matinee and night,
at the Gennett. The scenes. which
are large enough to fill the most spac-
ious stage, could not easily be improv-
ed. Those representing the Ohio riv-
er in winter, the rocky pass in which
George Harris protects his family, the
st. Clair plantation, the levee at New
Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom
and the Celestial City" are all the
most notable efforts, each picture be-
ing the reality as closely as that
which paint and canvas will permit.
and the stage perspective is SO deep
that the ef>ct is exceptionally pleas
ing. The company IS worthy OF its
environment So many skilled actors
have never before been engaged to-
gether as in this play. Frank Lee,
the eminent minstrel star, offers an
excellent study of Uncle Tom, pre-
serving the atmosphere and accent of
the old slave to a remarkable degree.
