Contract Signed.

At last it seems that the Southern
Railway is going to install electric
lights in the passenger station. Last
week the contract for the lights was
signed by A. w. Knight, chairman
of the commissioners of public
works, and the railroad authorities,
and it is their intention to hurry
the matter as rapidly as possible, so
they say. This will be good news to
the travelling public, for the station
has been without adequate lights
for a long time. The board of pub
lie works has been after the railroad
for several years about this light
matter, and naturally they are graft
fed that at last their efforts are to
meet with success.

Fire Last Week.

The house of J. j. Brabham, a
negro, situated just outside OF the
city limits, was burned Monday OF
last week. He says that the house
contained five rooms and was in
sured for $500, with $3.50 insurance
on the furniture. The fire broke out
about II o'clock in the morning, and
much of the furniture was damaged
in moving, while a portion of the
household goods were destroyed.
Brabham says the fire originated
from the kitchen stove flue.
The house was to have been sold
the first Monday in October under
mortgage to the Peoples Building &
Loan Association, but the sale has
been withdrawn, as the house was
insured in favor of the association.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

On and after this date the
subscription price Of The Bam-
berg Herald is $1.5O 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 con-
tract with us to furnish the pa
per at $1.OO year and had paid
for it. The new rate will apply
to new subscriptions and old
subscriptions as they expire.
The rate now is $3.50 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
matterethan 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.

q. D. G: Chapter Meeting.

The members of the U. D. c. Chap
ter were entertained at the hospitable
home of Mrs. Jno. Cooner last Tues
day afternoon. After two months of
inactivity it was a pleasure to come
together and enter with new vlgor
and ardor into the work which is
now of all-absorbing interest to the
Daughters of the Bamberg Chepter-
the raising of funds for the Confed-
crate monument so soon to be unveil-
ed. This undertaking to raise an
amount sufficient to. erect a monu-
ment which will be a credit to the
town and county, an object of pride
to the surviving veterans and to the
loved ones of those soldiers who have
gone on before, and an inspiration to
the childref of coming generations,
has been no mere child's play. This
band of patriotic women, led and
aroused into enthusiasm whenever
their spirits tagged, by their presi-
dent, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, whose
enthusiasm never wanes, has man
aged to raise goodly sum. But
5000 is still necessary before the last
payment can be made, and on the
loyal patriots-men and women-of
our town and county, they must de-
pend for help in raising this amount.
Right generously has every appeal
ben met, but some have given moth
ing as yet, others have promised to
increase their subscriptions when
the monument had been erected.
To these this appeal is directed; a
bountiful harvest has been given US,
and now, if ever, each citizen is able
to do his part.
Pay your subscriptions directly to
Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, or, If more
convenient to those coming in from
the country, to Mr.. A.. W. Knight.
He will be glad to receive them and
give you credit for the amount. Re-
member that history demands the
erection of these monuments, for in
coming years our glorious past
would be unknown but for their i'm
perishable record. This monument,
our tribute to our fallen heroes,
will soon be erected. Can you feel
satisfied in years to come if you sh1rk
your duty and have no part in its
erection?
The unveiling ceremonies will be
held some time in the latter part OF
October, the day will be given in our
next issue. This is going to be the
day which will go down into the an
nails of the history of Bamberg. We
want not only the whole of Bam-
berg to have part in. it but the sur
rounding country, and all Of our
friends throughout the State.

Cotton Receipts Large.

Last Friday and Saturday the
sight of the cotton platform would
have done the heart good. Cotton was
coming in from every direction, and
the crowd of wagons was so great
that the streets were lined with them
waiting their turn to get to the plat
form. Over five hundred bales were
received here last Saturday. The
reason is that Bamberg is paying
higher prices than other markets.

Preacher Arrested.

]. ]. Brabham, a negro who has
been conducting a tailor shop here
for several years, but who joined the
ministry some time ago, was arrest
ed last Saturday on a warrant charg-
ing him with beating his wife, the
warrant being sworn out by his faith
er-in-law, George Kearse. Brabham
was put in Jail but was later released,
the warrant being withdrawn. The
Rev. objected very strongly to being
put in jail, as he said that it would
ruin his reputation, and he begged
the editor of this paper not to pub.
lish it, as it would injure him in his
work. He even offered to pay US if
we would leave it out. Brabham
said the case did not amount to any:
thing, but he admitted to us that he
slapped his wife. Brabham was in
the same fix with, a lot of white pee-
pie. They do wrong and then expect,
the newspaper not to publish the
facts, but the newspapers do not add
to their troubles. ,'~>

Worth the Price.

The Bamberg Herald has raised it's
subscription price from one dollar to
one dollar and half per annum.
This is a wise step on the part of The
Herald, and it should be promptly
responded to by it's subscribers. If
a newspaper like The Herald is not
worth one dollar and a half per an
mum we confess that we know moth
ing of newspaper values. All coun-
try newspapers now published at one
dollar per annum ought to follow
The Herald's example, and raise
their subscription price.-Orange-
burg Times and Democrat.

The Cotton Market.

Cotton Is selling in Bamberg to-
day at eleven cents the pound, the
price having gone down in the last
few days. The receipts at this point
are very heavy, wagons coming in
from every direction, as the buyers
here are paying more than at other
towns in this section, and in fact
more than in most towns of the State.
The record shows that the Bamberg
market has been away ahead all
the season, and as consequence
lots of cotton is being hauled here
from a distance.

freshments the guests were given
paper hearts and requested to write
their favorite recipe for domestic
happiness. These were read and han
ded to the bride to be. After this
