Notwithstanding the dull times,
several real estate deals were made
here last week for city property.
The county dispensary board was
in session here last Monday. Bids
and samples for the ensuing quarter
were opened, and purchases were
made.
Rev" Peter Stokes is still sick at
Williamson, and there was no
preaching at the Methodist church

better.

the oil mill, who has been occupying
the T. S. Rice residence, will occupy
one of the Folk cottages on Midway

entered suit against the Atlantic

juries received while working for the
company.
Bids will be received from contrac-
tors for the building of brick church
at Denmark. Plans and specifications
can be seen by calling on Rev. j. B.

The election for an alderman for
the town to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of M. M. Smoak is
to be held next Monday, but so far
we have not heard any candidate
mentioned for the position.
G Marshall Moore, who lived in
Bamberg at one time, but who is
now editor of the Piedmont, a daily
afternoon paper in Greenville, was
elected last week as one of five police

There will be reunion at Olar on
Thursday, August 18th, of Companies

crate veterans and the public gen
orally are invited to attend, with well
filled baskets. Capt. w. T. Cave has
the reunion in charge.
If the dispensary is voted out next
Tuesday the town of Bamberg will
have no source of income until taxes
are collected next spring. There is
no money on hand. and it seems that
the electric light plant will have to
shut down if the dispensary goes.
The Orangeburg Collegiate Insti-
tute, Orangeburg. S. c., is one of
the best schools in the State. Boys

Prices are very reasonable, and you
can get any course of study that you
want. Send for a catalogue today.
ADV:
A postal card from Rev. Peter

liamston for the past two weeks,
states that he expects to arrive in
Bamberg this "wednesday evening
and will preach as usual at the Meth
odist church next Sunday. Mr.. Stokes
says that heis getting all right again,
and his little son, Peter, is improving
rapidly.
Before our next issue the voters of |
Bamberg county will have decided
the dispensary issue. We hope to
publish the result in next week s pa
per. The election is to be held Tues
day and we print The Herald We'd
nesday morning. We will appreciate
it if the managers will send us the
vote at the various precincts, either
by wire or phone.
No doubt a very light vote will be
polled in the dispensary election next
Tuesday, many people being without
registration certificates. Then, too,
nobody seems to be taking much in
terest in the election one way or an
other. Both dispensaryites and ants
seem perfectly willing to let the mass

from them.
