Farmers Union Organized.

There was a small but enthusi-
astic meeting of farmers in the court
house last Monday, the purpose of
the meeting being to organize a
Farmers Union for this county.
The meeting was called to order at
11o'clock and addresses we're made by
President B. Harris, of the State Or
ganization; Capt. w. R. Parks, a
member of the executive committee
from the second congressional dis
trict; and Capt. J. E. Mahaffey,
county organizer. These addresses
were listened to with much pleasure
by those present. After the address
es county union was formed, with
the following officers:
D. H. Rice, president; Raymond
Matheny, secretary and treasurer; j.
J. England, door keeper ; j. P.
O'Quinn, conductor. D. H. Rice and
J. w. Stewart we're elected as dele
gates to the meeting of the STATE
Union, which convenes in Columbia
on Wednesday, January goth.
A resolution thanking the editor
of The Bamberg Herald for his kind
ness in publishing notices of the
meeting was passed.
The next meeting Of the county
union will be at the court house on
the second Monday in February at
eleven o'clock. It is hoped that there
will be a large number present, so
that many new members may be en-
rolled

Protective Association.

There is a movement on foot
among our merchants to organize
what might be termed Merchants
Protective Association, such as has
been organized in other towns in the
State, which will have for its pur-
pose the protection of its members IN
regard to extending credit to people
who will not or do not pay. AS we
understand the idea, practically all OF
the merchants of the town are to be
members, and none of the merchants
who are members will extend credit
to any person who owes an account
at the store of a merchant who IS a
member. There will be what might
be termed black list, and no mem
ber can extend credit to any person
on this list until he pays the MEMBER
he is owing. The idea is good one.
Persons who will not pay their debts
should not be given this accomoda-
ton, and there is no reason Why a
store keeper should extend greater
accommodation than bank or any
other business which loans money.
When one gets goods which cost a
merchant money he should be made
to pay for them, and when the mer-
chant trusts to the honor and 1nteg-
rity of a customer and extends credit,
he should be paid.

An Up-to-Date Office.

It was the pleasure Of the editor
of the Herald and News to spend a
day in Bamberg recently We were
so impressed with the neatness and
tidiness of the Office that we cannot
refrain from commencing Brother
knight for the neat Office which he
keeps.
We have been in nearly every
printing office in South Carolina and
we have never seen as neat an Office
as is the Office of The Bamberg
Herald, and we would suggest to the
executive committee of the press as
sociation to ask Brother Knight to
prepare a paper for the next annual
meeting ON the subject of neatness in
a printing office.
It is really worth trip to Bam-
berg to be convinced that a printing
office can be kept neatly. In add1-
ton to this Brother Knight publishes
tone of the best country papers In
South Carolina.-E. H. Aull in New
berry Herald and News.

MARRIAGE IN BLACKVILLE.
Mr.. Kearse and Miss Everett Surprise
Their Many Friends.

Blackville, Jan. 8.-The many
friends OF Mr.. Victor Kearse and
Miss Ila May Everett were greatly
surprised to hear of their marriage,
which occurred at the Baptist par
sonage in Blackville Wednesday
evening, Rev. DR.. ]. D. Pitts per-
forming the ceremony. Though the
marriage was expected to occur
some time in the near future, it was
not expected at this time or at this
place. The bride was passing
through Blackville on the Southern
railway and was met here by the
groom. They Immediately proceed
ed to the Baptist parsonage, where
the ceremony was performed. The
bride is an attractive young lady OF
Sumter and is of high social stand
ing, and the groom is well known
young man, of good character and
parentage. He is the youngest son
of the late DR.. H. w. Kearse, OF Olar,
Bamberg county, who was noted for
his skill as physician.
Mr.. Kearse is now in the mercan-
tile business in Allendale.
The bride and groom are both
popular young people, who are start
ing out on the matrimonial sea under
the most favorable circumstances and
the best wishes of all of their friends
who were deprived of witnessing the
happy marriage, go with them along
the tourney of life.

Palnist Located Watch

The following special from Concord
to the Charlotte Observer tells it's
own story:
Seven months ago Mr.. James c.
Gibson lost a watch, and he believed
that the treasured jewel had been
stolen until yesterday the matter was
solved. Mrs. Leonard Cowen, q
daughter of Mrs. Gibson, concluded
to consult Madam Eldon, a scientific
palmist, who is here this week with
a carnival company. After reading
the lines of the young lady's hand the
knowing one described the watch and
then told her that the watch had not
been stolen, but misplaced. The de-
scription tailed with an immediate
search and the watch was found just
where it had been placed by the hands
of snue member of Mrs. Gibson,s
FANNY. This happened yesterday,
and last might all the people Of the
city who had lost something or want
ed to, find something, consulted
Madam Eldon. In OTTER words, she
did a great business last night, espe-
cially with the ladies"

Thursday night and awarded the con-
tract for the new city hall to Messrs.
B. e. Grandy & Son, of Pickens.

ed school building in this city, and

Suggestions to Our Merchants

It is stated that the large cata-
logue houses in the big cities expe-
rienced a shrinking in business the
past year amounting to $10,0O0,0O0.
This was mainly due to the greater
activity and systematic efforts put
forth by the retail men and their
trade journals all over the country.
This is gratifying to the retail trade
and indicates one of the most enec-
tive ways of combating the cata-
logue houses, and of keeping trade
at home. If the retail merchants
would realize more than some OF
them do that what the catalogue Is
to the mail order houses, that the
home papers are to local merchants
the business of mail order firms
would show still further decline
to the great gain of the home trade
and the prosperity of the home mer-
chant. Business firms have tried
all kinds of advertising, but expe-
rience proves that the most profit
able is attractive and liberal adver-
Using in the local paper or papers.

Don't Mistake the Name
EIDON

Strangely fascinating are the words
that come from the cultivated lips OF
this most interesting woman, whose
journey of life has already taken her
through all the renowned physic
schools of Egypt, India and Europe.
1t seems indeed as if her knowledge
must come from that mysterious
world of which we all would know,
yet longing, cannot know. She looks
as far away in the dim, mysterious
future-the great beyond-across the
dark chasm which separates the hu-
man body from the fitting soul-and
that which is to be told. The separat-
ed are brought together, foes are
made friends, lost property is recov-
cred, the mist Is brushed away from
business ventures, the hand Is so
guided that failures are averted, the
earth's face is explored, its treasures
laid bare to perceptive mind, and
while she gives dates, facts and fg-
ures, her visitor sits dumb-founded
at the revelation she makes to him.
She is surely woman Of the passing
time.

ture of man beyond death. Theme
presented Sunday night was, The
final judgment, the fact, the time,
the judge and his judgment:
The large congregation listened
with marked attention to the solemn

solo at the close, impressively rem
dered by Bro. c. w. Rentz.

Restaurants Will be Abolished.

Mr.. J. H. Murphy has notified the
tenants of the tin buildings below the
postoffice that after the 18th of this
month they will not be allowed to
conduct restaurants in any of the
buildings. He gives them the privi-
lege of keeping fruit or anything that
is clean, but he says the restaurants
are a nuisance and they will not
be allowed. We congratulate him
on this step. All property owners on
Main street should not allow their
buildings used as negro restaurants:
This action of Mr.. Murphy will
very much improve the condition OF
lower main street, and we are CRATE
full that hereafter our sense OF smell
will not be offended by the vile odors
of fried fish emanating from these
places.

She Tells Your Name and Al.
50 the One You Will Marry

Who reads your life from the era
die to the grave, and is known from
sea to sea as one of the best palmists
in the world. During the Omaha
Exposition she read the hand OF
President Mckinley and predicted
that he would die by the hand of an
assassin, which prediction came
true. She it was, who, while filling
an engagement in Pittsburg, traced
on the map the famous Beaumont,
Texas, oil fields, and located what has
since proven to be the greatest oil
fields in existence.

When subscriptions to The Herald

When subscriptions to The Herald
expire we use rubber stamp to no.
tify them that their time is out.
Last week we stamped an old sub
scriber's paper with this expiration
stamp, and he renewed promptly,
SAYING that he could not do without
The Herald and he wanted to get the
stamp off his paper. That he couldn't
read much anyway, and with that
stamp on it he couldn't read at all.
Let others follow his example. There
won't be any blur or stamp on papers
where subscriptions have been re-
newed, 80 we hope all whose subscrip-
tions have expired will follow the
plan of this good friend and renew
promptly.
