Electrical Demonstration.

Mr.. R. L. Calender, Of the Gen
eral Electric Co., was in the city
last Friday and gave public demon
stration of cooking and heating de-
vices at the Peoples Drug Co. the
same afternoon. A number Of the
ladies of the city visited the demon
stration and were surprised and de-
lighted at the many labor saving de-
vices for the home. These articles
will no doubt come into general use
in Bamberg when a day current is
installed, which the board hopes to
put on next spring. In the meantime
the board will put in stock of these
cooking devices and will sell them
to the customers at cost. With the
servant problem getting worse all
the time, the ladies will have to use
these electrical cooking appliances
and thus save themselves so much
household drudgery.

Electrical Storm.

The electric light plant was put out
of commission last Wednesday night
by lightning. The storm was very
heavy, and the lightning was very
bad. The big generator at the plant
was damaged some by lightning, and
for the balance Of the night there
were no lights. However, the new
engine and generator were started
next day, and the lights were on
Thursday night. This instance shows
the wisdom of installing duplicate
machinery, for if the plant had not
had the new outfit the town would
have been without lights for several
days. 1t is hoped and believed that
the big generator is not materially
injured, but the insulation is burnt
of one of the coils. It can no doubt
be repaired here without much cost.

Graded School Opening.

The fall session of the Bamberg
graded school begun last Monday
morning with Superintendent Allen
and all the teachers in their places.
A number of patrons were present at
the opening exercises, which consist
ed of scripture reading by Rev. ..
J. Frier, prayer by Rev. w. H.
Hodges, and the singing of "Ameri-
ca by the children.
Short talks were made by Revs.
w. H. Hodges and o. J. Frier and
Senator J. B. Black, after which Su-
perintendent Allen made a few re-
marks. The regular work Of the
school was then begun. There was an
unusually large enrolment for the
first day of the school. The assign
ment of the teachers to grades was
as announced by Superintendent Al
len in last weeks issue.
The school opens up auspiciously
We all know of the good work done
by the superintendent and teachers
last year, and we feel sure the new
teachers will do equally as well.
Bamberg has a right to feel proud
of her school, and we want to say
here that we know of no school any
where which has finer teaching
force.

Harper-Blume.

On last Sunday night Mr.. Lee
Blume and Miss Mary Harper, Of St.
George, came here on the night train
which arrived here about 9 o'clock.
Immediately upon their arrival the
Rev. Steadman was sumomned tc
unite them in the sacred rites OF
wedlock, which he did at once. The
bride and groom left Monday for
their honeymoon.
Mr.. Blume was here some time ago
and clerked for Mr.. R. L. Klauber.
While here he made many friends.
Miss Harper was a popular young
lady Of ST. George.

Visit of the Good Roads Train.

The Southern Railways special
"road improvement train," now tour
ing the South in the interests OF the
good roads movement, will be IN
Bamberg on September 21st at $3.50,
to give a demonstration on the I'M
portance of good roads and how to
build them and keep them in repair
It will visit Denmark the same day
at 2 p. m.
With exhibits, photographs, work
ing models and the aid Of stereop-
ticon, two road building experts OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture, L. E. Boykin and H. S.
Fairbanks, assisted by W. J. Hurl-
but, of the land and industrial de-
partment of the Southern Railway
will conduct free lectures which are
sure to be of interest to. the person
at a loss how to improve his road.
The train consists Of two demon
stration coaches and a sleeper foI
the use of the men in charge. One
car is fitted as lecture room and
is provided with stereopt1con equip
ment. Views covering every phase
of the good roads movement are
shown during the lectures, lending
point and interest to the subject dis
cussed. The second car is filed WITH
enlarged photographs, exhibits OF dlf-
ferent road material and working
models, which are shown in actual
operation, teaching the visitor not
only what materials are best to use
in the building or Improvement OF a
road but how the road is built and
kept in repair at the smallest neces-
sary cost.
The Southern Railway, believing
that the construction of good roads
will result in great benefit to the
people of the South whose inerests it
considers identical with it's own, is
sending this train out over its en-
tire system in order that the people
may realize the full economic value
of the movement, at the same time
affording valuable instruction in the
building of roads. The entire ex-
pense of the campaign, which en-
braces the whole South. is being

borne by the Southern Railway and
affiliated lines.

borne by the Southern Railway and
affiliated lines.
The train has received most cor
dial welcome in it's tour through
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
North Carolina and Virginia, the
people on all sides turning out in
large number and showing an ap-
preciative interest in the lectures
and exhibit. The tour began May
1 and daily exhibits will be
made until the whole territory serv-
ed by the Southern Railway and af-
flliated lines is covered. The final
exhibition will be made during the
good roads convention to be held in
Richmond, Va, late in the fall.
It is hoped that the train will
stimulate interest in the good roads
movement in those sections that have
not been aroused. Those in charge
of the train extend a cordial welcome
to the citizens of this section to at
tend the meeting at the train.

After Blind Tigers.

Mayor Smoak is right after the
illicit LIQUOR business and is deter
mined to break up blind tigers in
Bamberg. He found Tom Gray
guilty of selling liquor, and fined
him 500 or thirty days. Steve
Johnson, a negro, was arrested Satur-
day night for selling liquor. He was
before the mayor Monday morning,
He wanted to plead guilty, and
Mayor Smoak gave him a respite OF
a few days to raise the fine, and did
not allow the case to come up, He
is out on bond, Mr.. D. R. Matheny
being his bondsman.

Case Decided.

The. case of G.. Frank Bamberg
against c.. Harrison ct al has been
decided by the Supreme Court, and
the judgment of the lower court was
affirmed, which means that Mr.. Bam-
berg loses the case. The suit grew
out of the seizure of a horse sold by
Mr.. Bamberg to Harrison and which
Harrison sold or traded to Mr.. FL
lis, a stock dealer. Mr.. Bamberg' s
mortgage was not recorded ahead of
the later mortgage, although it was
sent to the clerk of court of Hampton
county in plenty time. The case
hinged on the time of the recording
of the Bamberg mortgage.

Electric Light Plant.

There has been a lot of work to
do at the electric light plant on ac-
count of starting the new engine. 1t
was not ready to run, and as soon as
the big generator was damaged by
lightning last week, work was begun
on it to get it ready to run. There
has been lot of work to do, but the
service was interrupted for only a
short time Saturday night. The out
fit is all right now, and when the big
generator is repaired there will never
be any reason for the service to be
interrupted except for just a few
minutes, caused by changing from
one engine to the other.

FITTING SCHOOL OPENING.
Public Exercises Wednesday, Sep
tember Goth, at 8 p. m.

The public exercises in connection
with the opening of the Carlisle Fit
ting School will be held in the even
ing, Wednesday, September 20, at
8 o'clock. The public is most cordi-
ally invited to attend these exercises.
In addition to the regular speeches
of welcome, etc., an opportunity will
be given to see the improvements re-
Gently made, and to become acquaint-
ed with the new teachers and stu
dents.
Boarding Department.
Applications are steadily coming
in and it is confidently expected that
during the next week every one of
the few remaining vacancies will be
taken. More applications from girls
have already been received than can
be accommodated at the dormitory.
Some will have to be accommodated
at the home of the Head Master.
There are a few vacancies in the
boys dormitory. Those who wish
to place their boy or girl in the
boarding department will do we'll to
apply at once.
Day Pupils.
It is hoped that the school will
enjoy a large local patronage this
year. It has always received the
support of the people of the town,
and it will be in better shape to give
proper training next session than
ever before in it's history. While the
boarding department will be full a
large patronage from town will be
necessary to meet the increased ex-
penses of additional teachers, and
the maintaining of teachers who are
in demand elsewhere. It takes a
considerable sum of money to pay
four men, each of whom could COM
mand a splendid salary as superin-
tendent of a public school. And yet
patrons should realize that they are
receiving superior teaching when
each teacher is a man of that type.
The study hall maintained for the
boarding students is open to day
students without extra charge. The
students meet in this hall for one and
one-half in the afternoons and for
three hours at night preparing their
recitations for the next day. No boy
can sit four and one-half hours day
for nine months, under the direction
of teacher, and not be wonderfully
helped. We take it that the privil-
ege and training of the study hall
alone is worth more than the small
tuition charged.
All students will assemble at
1880 on Wednesday morning, when
matriculation and classification, will
take place. This refers to those en-
tering the primary department as
well.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

On and after this date the
subscription price Of The Bam-
berg Herald is $3.50 a year.
Persons who have paid in ad.
vance for the paper will not be
affected by the change in price
until the time they have paid
for expires. OF course we
could not change the rate on
them after they had made a con.
tract with us to furnish the pa
per at $1.OO a year and had paid
for it. The new rate will apply
to new subscriptions and old
subscriptions as they expire.
The rate now is $1.5O a year,
Is cents for six months, or SO
cents for three months. Please
remember this. Subscriptions
must be paid in advance.
This increase in price is made
necessary by the advance in
everything which enters into
our business, and we cannot
publish such a paper as The
Herald at one dollar a year and
live. Our expenses have gone
up more than fifty per cent.
and a dollar paper is no longer
possible. The Herald is worth
$3.50, too. 1t is all printed at
home, and gives more reading
matter than any weekly in this
section, and we feel sure that
none of our readers will object
to the increase in price, but that
all will realize the justice and
necessity of it.

Telephone Booth.

It is a settled fact that the Bell
Telephone Company will install an
automatic booth in the Peoples Drug
Co. for the accommodation of the
public. The installing of the booth
has been approved and the booth and
material has been ordered out. 1t
is expected that the booth will be
installed and ready for business some
time next week. Certain it is that
the work will be done just as quickly
as possible, as the company is anxious
to get the booth in for the accommo-
dation of fall business.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Pastor Frier, as announced,
preached last Thursday night and
Friday night, as we'll as Sunday at
both morning and evening hours.
Good congregations attended both
services Sunday, and especially the
night service. Two were received
for baptism at the morning service,
Miss Nelia Coleman and little Miss
Lurline Herndon. At the evening
service two more were received:
Miss Eulale Coleman and Miss Matt
land Jennings. Six candidates now
await baptism on Thursday evening.
We are rejoiced over these young
lives who have become disciples OF
our Lord. The quiet personal work
of some of the members and earnest
prayers, together with the simple
truths of the gospel, we're facts used
and blest by the Holy Spirit in this
good work. Let us keep it up.
Our Sunday-school has been our
livest factor in church work, and is
still doing we'll, but it will have to
look out, for the Sunbeam Band is
forging to the front under the ef-
ficient leadership of Miss Sallie Free,
assisted by Mrs. Frier. Their list of
members is steadily growing, the at
tendance on their meetings good,
and they have raised over $50 for
the benevolent objects Of our de-
nomination this year. They haven't
missed having a regular meeting
during the year.
Mrs. Frier and Mrs. Cooner ex-
pect to attend the annual woman's
missionary meeting of the Barnwell
Association next Friday and Satur-
day at Williston. Each of them have
a part in the program. Mrs. Alice
Zeigler expects to attend also.
The pastor made a mistake week
before last in having the celebration
of the Lords supper announced in
the papers for the first Sunday. The
first Sunday in next month Is the
regular time. This explains why it
wss not celebrated last first Sunday
as announced.

Oscar Faust, the negro who was
convicted by city council some
months ago on the charge Of selling
liquor, and who appealed his case to
the Circuit court, has compromised
the cases against him by paying a
fine of $375.00. Faust was out on
bond until recently, when his bonds
men withdrew from the bond, and
he was put in Jail. He then compro-
missed the matter with council by
paying fines amounting to $375.00

Carlisle Fitting School.

The two fitting schools, the Wof-

will doubtless be taxed to their full

and this is as it should be. Good
schools for training of boys are
scarce, and wise parents will take
advantage of the opportunities Offer
