Mr.. Sheridan Resigns.

Mr.. H. G. Sheridan, who has been
principal and superintendent Of the
Bamberg graded school for the past
two years, has resigned the position
and will 60 to Lake City as principal
of the school there. Mr.. Sheridan
leaves for financial reasons solely.
He was asked blythe board of trustees
of the school here to again accept
the principalship, but he had been
made very hattering offer at Lake
City and felt it his duty to accept.
Two years ago Lake City wanted him,
but he decided to remain here. MIR.
Sheridan and his family will be much
missed in Bamberg. They have liv-
ed here for the past eight years, Mr..
Sheridan being Head Master of the
Carlisle Fitting School before going
to the graded school. He is superin-
tendent of the Methodist Sunday
school, and is prominent in church
and social life. We all regret that
he and his family will leave US, but
the best wishes of their many friends
will follow them to their new home.
They will 60 to Lake City soon after
the closing of school next month.

Freight Train Taken Off.

The Southern Railway, in order to
reduce expenses during the dull sea-
son, has taken off one Of the freight
trains between Brancbville and Au-
gusta, so we have only one freight
train a day now. Formerly one
freight left Branchville in the morn
ing and went to Augusta, passing
Bamberg about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and Ole left Augusta, passing
here here about two in the afternoon.
Now the freight leaves Branchville
on Monday mornings and goes to Au-
gusta, returning next day. This ar
rangement is very inconvenient to
Bamberg merchants and business
men, as it causes much delay in the
transportation of freight, but there
is no relief we suppose.

New AUTOMOBILES


Bamberg is getting to be an auto
mobile town all right. Last week G.
Frank Bamberg went to Chester, in
company with Mr.. Carl Roweil,
and brought back a handsome Ram
bier touring car. He made, a fine
trip, leaving Chester about ten
O'Clock last Wednesday morning and
arriving here that night, making
stops in Columbia and Orangeburg.
Thursday morning three magnih-
cent Ford runabouts were unloaded
for COL. Jno. F. Folk, DR., V. w.
Brabham, and e. 7. LaFitte, Esq.
These, with the machines already in
use here, makes Bamberg quite a
t'honk .honk" town. Several more
machines will be purchased by others
here In the near future, and it will
not be long before there will be more
automobiles in Bamberg than any
town it's size in the State. If the
purchase of so many machines is an
index to the financial condition Of a
town and county, Bamberg must be
mighty prosperous, notwithstanding
the financial panic and general busi-
ness depression.

wiches, iced tea and mints, was serv-
ed during the afternoon, also punch

rear of the reception hall.
The ever charming and inimitable
hostess, with her guests of honor,

, Death Of B. S. Harrison. .

:, Mr.. B. S. Harrison, eldest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. IS. Harrison, of this
city, died suddenly last Saturday
about noon. He in company with
some other young men had gone to
Lemon Swamp fishing. and after
catching q nice string of fish he made
preparations to come home, when he
had hemorrhage. A fit Of cough:
ing seized him and blood gushed
from his mouth so that the young
men with him became frightened.
He asked them to help him in the
buggy, which they did, but he was
unable to get up on the seat. The
buggy was started towards Bamberg
but he soon lost consciousness and
died in a very few minutes.
His body was brought on home and
the burial took place Sunday after.
noon at Restland cemetery, the
funeral services being conducted by
Rev. S. w. Danner, pastor of the
mill chapel. Mr.. Harrison was TWEEN.
ty-five years old, and leaves a wife
and one child, a little boy about two
years old, as we'll as other relatives.
He started up in the grocery busl.
ness here several years ago.. and by
economy, industry, and close atten-
ton to business he had built up a
good trade and was doing well.
Several years ago he enlisted in the
army and was sent to the Philippines.
He served out his term of enlistment,
but his health has never been good
since. He has been sick off and on
for several months, and while all who
knew him felt that his condition was
serious, no one dreamed that the end
would come so soon and so suddenly.
He had been up. recently attending
to his store as usual, and, if anything
seemed to be improving.

Sisters Teach in tho Public Schools.

Colorado is ono Of the very few
states Of the union where Catholic
sisters are teaching in tho public
schools, and in that state they are so
employed in only one county, Conejos.
And, pleasing to note, educational con-
ditions in that county are described as
ideal by the educational authorities OF
tho state. Says the Denver Republic
can:
II found the conditions existing in
the public schools of Concjos county
tho best. There are Catholic sisters
and Mormons employed in the public
schools in Conejos county, and no.
where arc there more efficient teach
ers. The schools are in excellent con-
dition and the teachers are doing good
work.
while religion in no way enters into
the teaching of either the Catholic
Sisters or tine Mormons, IL is said that
they get closer TO the hearts OF the
people than those teachers could who
are not fully acquainted with the con-
ditions existing among the children in
their home life"
