SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

ing of last week.
The graded school closed Friday,
and the teachers left Saturday for
their various homes.
The dry weather this spring has
had a fearful result on the crop or
candidates in this county.
The handsome brick stores of G.
A. Ducker and W. G. Hoffman are
nearing completion, and will soon be
ready for occupancy.
Now that the stores are closing at
six o'clock in the afternoons, the fire
companies should be out practicing
after the stores close.
That was fine rain we had Tues
day, the first real heavy rain in
months. The crops can grow now
s. and the grass as well.
Those who believe it is easy to get
out a paper under circumstances like
The Herald is laboring under at pres
ent ought to try it awhile.
Considerable improvement has
been made to the interior Of the Bap-
tist church lately, and the new peWs
will soon be here and be installed.
A friend writing us from Furman,
S. c., says: 1--WE are having it very
dry here. Crops are poor; blind
tigers plentiful. So much for prohi-
bition.''
Interest in our guessing contest
continues to grow, and all guesses
must be handed in before the first Of
June. The winners will be announc-
ed as soon as possible.
A game of base ball was played on
the Fitting School campus in this
city last Saturday afternoon between
the small boys of Bamberg and
Orangeburg. Bamberg won by a
score of four to three.
Efforts are now being made to have
the city electric light plant furnish
current in the day time for fans,
motors, etc., and the day current
will be a reality if our people will
give sufficient patronage.
The recent fires gave the fire COM
panies some practice, and we feel
sure that Bamberg will have an ex-
eellent department. There should be
a friendly rivalry between the COM
panies, for this will create interest.
We do not want the earth. A small
part of it will satisfy US. Try us for
q square DEAL" c. H. MILHOUS,
Manager Denmark Realty Co.
/ While the people of Bamberg were
somewhat interested in the course of
the comet last Wednesday night,
there was no excitement among our
population generally, and even the
negroes did not get worked up over
the tail of the comet brushing the
earth.
Day electric current would be a
great thing for Bamberg, and we can
have it if our citizens will only give
the plant sufficient patronage to pay
expenses. The board of'public works
would not expect the proposition to
be a paying one to commence with,
but the town should not lose money
on the plan.
''Tote fair" is our motto, or Give
and help to live" will do as well.
{ see us before buying or selling real
estate, or you may regret it. G. H.
MIHOUS, Manager Denmark Realty
Company.
i. We have received an invitation to
:, attend and participate in the enter
tainments attending the sixth annual
convention and tournament of the
South Carolina State Firemen's Asso-
citation, to be held at Sumter June
21st, 22nd, and 23rd. This will be a
great occasion for the firemen of the
State, and Bamberg's fire department
should be represented there.
Now is the time to buy real estate.
It is going at a price that will not
grow less. We have some attractive
bargains. C. H. MILHOUS, Manager
Denmark Realty Co.
The cotton mill closed down last
Tuesday for an indefinite period. 1t
will no doubt remain shut down for
several months at least, and in the
mean time The Herald will be issued
under great difficulties, as we will
have to run our linotype machine and
our presses at night only. We hope,
however, that arrangements will soon
be made by which the city can put
on day current.
