A Nice Compliment.

We take the liberty of quoting the
following from letter just received
from a friend in the upper part OF
the State: II am just in receipt OF
the. last issue of your paper. It Is
bright, clean, and newsy, and in
every respect most creditable paper
and one that your people should be
proud Of" Of course we appreciate
this, and while we are proud enough
of our paper to publish this COM
ment, our main reason is to show the
people of Bamberg what a good
advertisement for the town 1t is to
have a newspaper like The Herald.

An Ornament to Bamberg.

We desire to congratulate The
Bamberg Herald on moving to its
new home. The building and office
constructed by Brother Knight is
an ornament to Bamberg and a mon
ument to the builder. 1t is, besides,
encouraging to know that one county
weekly is making 50 much money
out of the newspaper business. We
are glad of it.-Walterboro Press

This is Editor Knights rendering
of the old Biblical excuse giving.
There has to be new excuses for
new shortcomings, and we do not
imagine there were many editors
invited to that feast, so we suppose
he may justify himself that way.
What ever the reason, his friends
regret that he could not be present
at the conference here, to which he
was a delegate. Congratulations
on the new Office and improvements.

DEATH OF j. A. RENTZ.
Blood Poisoning Caused from Bone
Felon on His Toe.

Mr.. J. A. Rentz, most estimable
young man, died at his home few
miles below town last Saturday,
after an illness several weeks. His
death was caused by blood poisoning
brought on by bone felon on his
toe. He suffered very much, and al
though three physicians attended him
skillfullv and faithfully, the condi-
ton of lis blood made all efforts to
relieve him futile.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Rentz came
home from a picnic, and at night felt
a pain in his foot, caused by his shoe
being too tight. His toes were slight
ly bruised, and from this bone felon
developed. The physicians first slit
the toe and then other portions of the
foot, finally amputating toe. These
brought no relief, and finally his foot
was amputated just below the ankle.
But the poison had spread through
his system, and he died a few days
later.
MIR. Rentz was a son of Mr.. Jacob
Rentz,. who died last year. He was
about thirty years old and unmarried, |,
and lived at the old homestead with
a married sister. He was economical
and energetic, and had accumulated
considerable property, being a good
business man. He leaves a number
of relatives, to whom we extend SYM
pathy. The burial took place Satur-
day afternoon by, the side OF his
parents in the family plot at the
Lutheran church in that neighbor-
hood, the services being conducted
by Rev. Jacob Hoffman.

KILLED BY PASSENGER TRAIN.
Mrs. Pass Wilson Crushed to Dealt
Crossing Railroad.


Aiken. May 25.-A most deplor-
able accident occurred at Jackson
Station yesterday, when Mrs. Pass
Wilson, one Of the oldest and most
highly respected women of that sec
ton. was run over and instantly
killed by a train.
There was freight train on the
siding at Jackson, waiting for a
passenger train to pass. Mrs. Will
son desired to cross the railroad
track and made her way to the rear
Of the freight to cross behind the
caboose. Just as she was about to
cross around the caboose, the Allan
tic Coast Line passenger train came
dashing by at a high rate OF speed.
It is thought that Mrs. Wilson saw
this train just before it got to her,
but did not have time to get out or
the way.
Mr.. Wilson and one Of his sons, a
step-son of the deceased, went on
fishing trip down the Savannah rlv-
er, and up to l o'clock searching
parties had been unable to locate
him and apprise him of the SAD
news.
The death is one of the saddest
in the county in years. Mrs. Wilson
was a very aged lady, being about
70 years old, and was universally
loved by all who knew her. She was
a strong Christian character and was
highly connected. Previous to her
marriage to Mr.. Wilson, she was
Miss Pettis, of Barnwell county, the
daughter of Mr.. John Pettis, one OF
Barnwell's staunchest citizens in his

in the roof of the kitchen, and no
doubt caught from the flue. A

apparent discrepancy in price is ex-
uiained by the fact that while the
liquor is of the same brand as that
