Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Peo-
pies Building and Loan Association
was held in the directors room of
Bamberg Banking Company Tuesday
evening. The meeting was presided
over by the president, j. F. Carter,
Esq. The annual report of the secre-
tary and treasurer, Mr.. H. n. Belling-
er, showed the affairs of the associa-
ton to be in a most prosperous con-
dition, and it is thought the associa-
ton will wind up in the time esti-
mated on when it was organized.
The same board of directors was re-
elected as follows: J. F. Carter,
Jno. H. Cope, G. Moye Dickinson, G.
Frank Bamberg, and DR.. Geo. F.
Hair.
A resolution was passed recon-
mending that the board of directors
hereafter lend to a stockholder the
par value of his stock, with the as
signment of said stock as security.

MIR. RentZ Wins Case.

The State Supreme Court has de-
cided the case that Mr.. G. w. Rentz
brought against the Southern Rail-
way. The decision was filed last Mon
day, and was rendered by Mr.. JUS
tice Gary The decision aftirms the
decision of the court below in over
ruling a demurrer to the complaint
in the case of C. w. Rentz rs. the
Southern Railway Company, an ac-
tion for damages on account of prop
erty damage. The plaintiff owns
lands in the outskirts of Bamberg on
which there is pond. This pond, it
is alleged, has discharged through a
ditch and passed thence through a
culvert under the Southern Rail-
ways track. About five years ago
a pipe was substituted for the cul-
vert. This pipe, according to the
plaintiff, is so small that it caused
the water to back up on his land and
damage his crops. On complaint the
Southern last year put in larger
pipe, but placed it 80 high that the
water could not flow through it ex-
cept when it was of considerable
depth.
The Southern demurred to the
complaint, because it did not allege
that the waters are those of natural
water course. The act of cutting of
the flow of surface water is not, the
Southern contends, cause of ac-
ton.
The circuit Judge overruled the
demurrer, but said he thought the
complaint should have been more
definite and certain. He suggested
that the Southern's proper course
was to make a motion that the COM
plant be made more definite and
certain

Civic Association.

With each meeting of the Associa-
ton the attendance improves, the
roll-call is heightened and enthusi-
ing was no exception to this rule.
"Whatever you do, do with your
might is one of the notices of the
League. So as the improvement of
the streets has been one of the first
and most important works under
taken, it was decided that Main
street should not be abandoned un-
til it's reform shall be complete. An
other committee was appointed to re-
quest the merchants to sweep the
trash from their back doors, or if
they must sweep it to the front, to
do so before the cart passes through
the streets in the morning. 1t was
worthy of note that it was scarcely
necessary to request this of the mer-
chants on the side which leads tc the
postoffice, as this side is now kept
clean and attractive. No doubt ere
next week the opposite side will show
just as marked an Improvement, as
the merchants are beginning to real
ize that an attractive town and place
of business will mean added sales and
increased business for them.
They, too, understand that there is
no honor or glory for the ladies in
this, their work for the betterment of
the town, but that it is merely
prompted by a love for and feeling
of pride in this, their home.
A committee was also appointed
to see the principal of the colored
graded school, asking him to coop
crate in this work by seeing that the
grounds around that building be
thoroughly cleaned and kept in a
neater and more attractive manner.
Following up this same rule to do
well whatever is undertaken, it was
decided to select some day in the
near future for the completion of the
work begun at Restland cemetery.
Next Friday was chosen as the day
for this work Let all those who
helped in this work before go. again
and those who were not present on
the other day let nothing keep them
away this time. Ways and means
for keeping this cemetery in good Or
der were discussed. 1t was proposed
that each lot-holder pay ten cents
per month for the hiring of a good,
reliable man to take charge Of the
cemetery, keeping the chickens out,
wedding the drives and walks, etc.
We hope that every lot-holder will
note this plan and make it possible
by agreeing to adopt it.
In next weeks issue the plans for
the rest room for ladies from the
country will be given.

The Trip of the Fleet.

Mr.. J. D. Copeland, of this city,
went to Norfolk, Va, last week to
visit his son, Ensign D. Graham
Copeland, who has been in the navy
ever since his graduation at Annapo-
lis a few years ago, and who is now
on the battleship Kansas. The fleet
has just returned from trip around
the world, having sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads on the afternoon of De-
cember 18th, 1907, being on the trip
a little more than one year.
Ensign Copeland's ship was one of
the fleet making the voyage, and
during the year he has been away he
has visited many foreign countries
and has been shown many attentions
by foreign officials at the landing
places in other countries. 1t has
been the privilege of The Herald to
publish portions of some of his let
ters to his parents, and they were
indeed interesting. Mr.. Copeland is
a very bright young man, and is a
close observer, and his descriptions
of the countries visited were most
interesting and entertaining.
MI. COpelduu Says Iue ud'dI ulS
play at Norfolk on the return of the
fleet was magnificent. There were
sixten large battleships in line, being
some of the finest fighting machines
afloat, and especially when all were
lighted at night by electricity the
display was grand. Mr.. Copeland
had most enjoyable trip, and he
was entertained while there on board
the Kansas, his sons ship. 1t must
have been great pleasure to Mr.,
Copeland to see practical demon
stration of the position of honor and
responsibility which his son holds
in the navy, to know how his rapid
advancement has been, and to rea'
lize the high esteem in which Ensign
Copeland is held by the other Off
