Enlisted in Army.

Mr.. Everett Leon Hanberry has
enlisted in. the army for three years.
He is the youngest son of Mrs. Lena
E. Hanberry, of Denmark. His many
friends, both of Denmark and Bam-
berg, will be pleased to hear he is
now pleasantly situated at Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio, Texas. He
writes home he would rather be a
soldier than a farmer.
Fort Sam Houston is one Of the
most important posts in the South,
and has the largest garrison in the
United States. 1t covers more than
$4,000 acres, on which large bodies
of troops can be modified and drill
ed. This brigade post consists of
two regiments Of cavalry, one of in
fantry, and one Of artillery; one
hospital, one engineering and one
pioneer corps, and also everything
belonging to the headquarters OF
such q post.

Big Cotton Fire at Cope.

Last Thursday morning about one
o'clock a fire, which is supposed to
have originated from a spark from
a passing freight engine on the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad, at Copes,
Orangeburg county, destroyed about
twenty-five bales of cotton belonging
to Green-Brabham Company of that
place, which cotton had been LETT
upon the railroad platform over
night.
It is difficult to understand, after
one has been on the scene, how 1t
was possible to prevent the total de-
struction of not only the depot but
a number of box cars as well which
were standing on the tracks at the
time and were in close proximity to
the fire. It must have been heroic
work on the part of the citizens who
turned out at the first alarm to as
sist in rescuing what cotton they
could from the flames. The burning
bales were rapidly tumbled from the
platform and were hauled as fast as
possible to Snake Swamp, creek not
far distant from the town, where a
crowd worked for hours trying to ex-
tinguishe the fire, but with little e1-
feet. E
There was no insurance on the cot
ton and unless the railroad company
can be held liable for the damage
Green-Brabham Company will sustain
a loss of something like $1,000 to
200 from the fire.
This, however, calls to mind sim
chant sustained a loss by the burn
ing of the depot at this place, on the
platform of which he had placed sew
eral bales of cotton to be shipped. In
this case the railroad refused to pay
the merchants claim for damages
and suit was entered. A verdict was
given the merchant on the courts
ruling that the platform OF the rail-
road company was their warehouse
and that they were, therefore, liable
~ If claim is meas by the Green:
Brabham Company for damages, and
payment is refused by the railroad,
the final outcome will be watched
with interest by the merchants OF
this place. Mr.. Vernon Brabham,
who is a son of Mr.. H. ]. Brabham,
and who is former resident OF this
place, is the Brabham of the Green
Brabham Company, and his many
friends here hope that he will sus-
tain no loss from the fire.

Quiet Marriage.

Last Sunday afternoon at half past
three o'clock Mr.. Harry A. wright
and Miss Florrie Black were happily
married. The ceremony took place
ct the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Black, in this
city, and was very quiet ana1r, only
the immediate relatives and a Few
friends being present. Rev., Chas. b.
Smith, presiding elder of the Orange
burg district, was the officiating min
lister. Immediately after the cere-
mony the happy couple left for Or
angeburg, which city will be their
home in future.
The bride is the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Black, and is
young woman of fine character. She
has always been popular among a
large circle of friends, and their best
wishes 20 with her to her new home.
The groom was also born and rails
ed in Bamberg, he only moving TO
Orangeburg few months ago.
"Doc," as he is known to his many
friends here, is one of the finest
young men we know. He is quiet
and unassuming, but his sterling
worth is known and appreciated by
all the people of Bamberg. He is q
capital business man, and until go
ing to Orangeburg was book-keeper
for the Cotton Oil Co. He is now as
sistant cashier of the Planters Bank
in Orangeburg. In common with
their many friends, The Herald ex-
tends congratulations and good
wishes.
The popularity of the young couple
was evidenced by large number OF
handsome presents.

Card of Thanks.

Editor The Bamberg Herald
Please permit me space in your paper
to return my sincere thanks and ap-
probation to my many friends who
have been so kind and eonsiderate to
me during my recent Illness. Such
kindness 1 shall ever remember with
all the gratitude of my heart. And
to those friends, my faithful physi-
clan and the attentive nurses, that
stood by me and kindly administered
to my wants even when the lamp of
life burned low and apparently there
was but little hope of recovery, to
you also, my kind friends, I wish to
extend my heartfelt appreciation.

Two Negroes Killed.

Last Saturday night there were
two killings in this county, the vic
tins in each case being negroes. A
negro named Joe Bryant was shot at
the house of Austin Downing, anoth-
er negro, on the plantation of Mr.. v.
G. Behre, a few miles below town.
There seems to be a good deal OF
mystery connected with the affair,
as the coroner's jury brought in a
verdict that Bryant came 70 his death
at the hands of unknown parties.
Bryant lived on Mr.. Joe I. Copeland s
place in the same section. We have
not been able to see the testimony
taken at the inquest held by Coro-
ner Zeigler, therefore can give no
facts in the case. No arrests have
been made.
At a hot supper on Hon. S. G. May
fields plantation near Denmark Sat-
urday night a negro named Sam Dig
gins was shot to death. Four ne
groes are lodged in Jail. Hamp Wash
ington is charged with the killing,
with Henry Rice and Aubrey Con-
nelly as accessories. A negro woman
named Minnie Stroman is also in
Jail, but it is stated that she is wit
ness only.

RALLY DAY EXERCISES.
Interesting Program Of Methodist
Sunday.schOOl Last Sunday.

Indian summer in all of it's beauty
and splendor, with it's rich colorings
of gold and deep bushes of. scarlet,
was a truly beautiful setting for RAJ
ly Day exercises held at Trinity Meth
odist church last Sunday afternoon.
With the passing of the summer, and
the arrival of autumn, and the gen.
eral harvest time in full blast, the
time was ideal, and immediate
thought for the day was to brig in
the sheaves and all sing Harvest
Home" The little children OF the
Sabbath-school. with their decora-
tions of rich and pure golden rod and
leaves of crimson, as they marched in
to the auditorium was truly an inspir-
ing sight, and the large gathering of
people which filed the auditorium
and the Sunday-school room, was Wis
IDLY impressed by the sacredness and
childlike beauty of the procession.
The church was beautiful with dec
orations of evergreen and autumn
flowers Al large arch, with Rally
Day" suspended therefrom, occupied
the center of the altar railing, and as
the procession wended it's way just IN
front Of the arch, the choir began the
services, singing Rally for Jesus
The afternoon was then devoted to
the program, which had been well
and skillfully prepared by the pub
fishers of the Methodist Church,
South. The manner in which the
children performed their parts and
carried out the exercises was great
credit to themselves, but especially
to the ladies of the committees which
trained them. 1t required much time
and patience on the part of all con-
cerned, but all should feel well re-
paid by the success of the services.
The chief object of the day was to
inspire new life, add new names to
the roll of classes, and, above all,
to make the school a better place Tor
training the minds OF the pupils IN
the right direction.
The reorganization of the school
has already been mentioned in these
columns, but another word might be
added, and it is this: The Sunday
school of Trinity (or any other
church for that matter) depends
largely on the interest manifested
by the older members or the cnurcn.
The idea that the school can be made
to succeed by merely having the
classes organized ard taught, is one
which has been a great detriment
to the work of the schools. But now
that the idea of making the Sabbath
school a place for the old as well as
the young is gaining ground, the life
of the schools is being added to.
Primarily the object of the school
is to train the children, but is is a
true fact that the older members
should take part in the services as
well as the children. During the af-
ternoon last Sunday cards of applica-
ton for membership were handed out
to a large number in the congrega-
ton, and it is believed that the roll
will be largely increased.
The collection for the afternoon
was given to missions, in this in
stance foreign missions was favored.

Country Correspondence.

Our usually quiet community was
in quite a stir last week, due to the
Barnwell Baptist Association, which
met with the Springtown church.
Many delegates, pastors, and visitors,
besides the surrounding congrega-
lions, were in attendance all four
days. The entire program was inter-
esting, and some able speakers dis
cussed the various subjects. One OF
the most interesting addresses was
from DIR. Pitts, of Blackville, on mis-
sions. In his able, masterful way he
handled his subject as easily as the
ordinarily conversationalist would a
common chat.
Special mention, too, must be made
of Rev. A. T. Jamison's address on
the orphanage. Rev. Jamison held
his CONGREGATION, children and all, in
the most attentive manner from start
to finish. It can be truly said OF him
that he has associated with the little
folks to such an extent that his mouth
Is a gateway to express his true and
childish feelings, which seem to be
his innermost thoughts. Special
prayers were offered Mr.. Jamison and
his two hundred and sixteen children.
An excellent sermon on Sunday by
Rev. w. M. Jones seemed to be spec
tally fitted to every individual. His
text words were "Thy kingdom
come" and Gods kingdom is ever
lasting" Moderator Nixon, of Will
liston, dismissed the Association with
a grateful and appreciative address,
to meet at Bethel in 1909.
