Playing or Crazy.

We understand that the negro
Robert Woods, who is in jail charged
with the. murder Of Gilbert Brown,
is now attempting to play of crazy.
He shouts and sings and in other
ways attempts to create the impress
sion that he is insane. However,
this ruse is not likely to avail him
much, as it is well known that he
has never acted crazy before. He
was around The Herald Office several
days few weeks ago, and he GER
tainly seemed to be in his right
mind then. He is undoubtedly a
bad negro, and this seems.~to be the
general reputation he bears among
the negroes and whites who know
him. .,

Put Trash in Boxes.

The ladies of the civic league are
making an earnest effort to get the
town clean and keep it clean, and in
their efforts they have enlisted the
aid of city council. Acting Mayor J.
D. Copeland, Jr., has been asked by
the ladies to assist in this matter,
and he requests all merchants not to
sweep trash on the streets or out of
their back doors, but put it in boxes
at front or rear doors and the town
cart will call for it. Some who do
not sweep trash out of their front
doors, sweep it out of back doors,
and as consequence the lots IN rear
of many of the stores are kept in a
filthy condition. SO help to keep the
town clean and tidy. -

Gone to Rest.

This community was saddened
when the news came that Edna High
tower was dead. She. had been sick
only a few days-died at 9 o'clock
Sunday night. Her remains were
laid to rest Monday afternoon at 8
o'clock at the beautiful cemetery of
Clients Branch church in the pres
ence of large congregation who
had assembled to pay their last re-
spect. The floral offering made by
friends was impressive and beauti-
full.
She leaves husband, mother, sis
ters, and brothers, relatives and
friends. They have the sympathy
and prayers of a sorrowing communi-
ty: Every person that ever knew her
loved her. May her soul rest in
peace. E. NJ. H.

= Home Mission Meeting.

The April meeting of the Woman's
Home Mission society will be held
next Tuesday afternoon at 4.30
o'clock in the ladies' parlor Of the
Methodist church.
The topic for the months study,
Ignorance. Helplessness, and Sin,
is one full of interesting points and
problems for our consideration. We
urge a large attendance, and suggest
that you read each article in "Our
Homes" bearing on this subject.
The district meeting held at Den
mark, was great success in every
way-deep interest was manifested
and the attendance was excellent.
There were present ten delegates,
thirteen visitors, two officers, and the
reports showed an increase of $500
in amount raised the past year.
The success of the meeting is due
to the untiring efforts of the district
secretary, Miss Llewellyn Cleckley,
who had arranged with infinite care
a most excellent program, which she
carefully carried out. She deserves
to be warmly congratulated, and we
trust the auxiliaries in her district
will show their appreciation of her
hard work, by responding heartily to
her calls.

House-O Cleaning Week.

Every house-keeper In Bamberg
who takes a pride in her home and
has a care for the health of her fami-
ly, lays aside at least one week each
spring and fall for a thorough clean
ing, not only Of her home but of her
outdoor premises as well. With a
desire to see the town clean as a
whole for once and knowing just
what great things can be accom-
plished by concerted action, the mem
bers of the civic league ask that the
house-keepers Of the town observe
this week as house-cleaning week.
Let each one put in order her back
yard and lot as we'll as the front,
gathering up all cans, bottles and
other rubbish which is not burnable,
place them in a barrel or box and put
these on the street early Friday
morning, the 18th, as the wagons
will haul off all trash on Friday and
Saturday. Each lady is also asked
to have the street in front or on the
side of her home cleaned. We beg
that each merchant will also aid in
this most important work by thor
oughly cleaning behind his store and
all owners of vacant lots to have
them put in order. What feeling
Of pride one could have in his home
town if in driving through her
streets the latter part of this week,
no papers, tin cans, decaying fruit
,pr vegetables, broken boxes or bar
rels would meet the eye
If we would all awaken to the
dangers which threaten us from the
unsanitary condition of our, town and
be made to realize that disease and
death may be lowering near us. or
our loved ones on account of local
conditions, then we would bestir our
selves and work for the health OF
the community. Let us not wait un-
til an epidemic of fever is upon US
but try and take measures to pre-
vent it! Then putting aside all
thoughts of the good which will ac-
crue to the citizens of our town from
making it perfectly sanitary place,
let us look at it from a business
standpoint. Naturally we desire to
see Bamberg grow and thrive, her
schools to be patronized by the best
people all over the State, new enter
prises to be opened up, and desirable
newcomers to build up homes in our
town. Will they send their children
to school or settle in town which
is dirty and unattractive and noted
for it's epidemics of typhoid, hemor-
rhagic and malarial fever? Surely
not. So let us all work in harmony
for a cleaner, healthier, and more
beautiful Bamberg.h .. K.

According to a recent decision by
Judge Memminger a man who owns
or controls land on both banks OF a
river in this State can prevent any
body from fishing in the river between
his lands, even in the. open channel
of the river. The case came before
the court from Marlboro county,
where a man had control Of land on
both sides of the Pee Dee river. The
decision enjoined the defendants
from fishing in the river between the
lands of the plaintiff, or from inter
fering with the plaintiff in his ex-
elusive right to fish within the boun-
daries mentioned.

escaped lynching by being spirited

CRUSADE FOR CLEAN BARBERING
Anuseptic Shops Myth. Says Physician.
Favors Safety RaZors

A medical writer has come 10 the
defense of the safety razor in an arti-
Gle decrying the absence of antiseptic
barber shops. He is the editor of
American Medicine, and says:
The so-called antiseptic barber
shop Of to-day is in reality a myth.
Even the best Of the better barber
shops fail far short OF the aseeptic
precautions that ordinary common
sense would seem TO dictate. That
this is fact viii be borne out by the
simplest investigation one cares to
make of practically every one of the
up-to-date shops Of to-day.
1t is not meant TO imply that any
one OF these shops fails TO keep its
utensils clean or TO use clean linen.
but it is meant that a real state of
sntiseptie cleanliness is almost never
obtained. Our knowledge OF the
need OF antiseptic method raises the
question whether or not the use Of a
common brush. soap. and razor is
not a fairly frequent source OF skin
infection. and as q consequence the
prime cause in many of the skin
