Saturday and Sunday were tne
hottest days in five years for Bam-
berg.
We have experienced the hottest
weather of the summer the past

to open rapidly, and the receipts at
this point are good.

The postofice was closed Monday
and the rural carriers did not make
their usual trips, as it was labor day
and a legal holiday.
The idea of opening the eleven
O'Clock mail on Sundays after church
seems to be a popular one with the
patrons of the Office generally.
Many of the summer swallows are
at home from mountain and seashore
resorts, as cotton is coming in ana
business will soon be opening up.
The many friends of Mr.. H. N.
Folk will be glad indeed to know that
he is getting along nicely and no
doubt will be out before very long.
w. R. Fishburne, a Bamberg boy,
was defeated for the legislature I'D
Richland county, but he put up
good fight. He opposed the governor
strongly, and this no doubt accounted
for his defeat.

close it.
Maner Morris, the white man OF
Olar who was lodged in jail some
time ago charged with the killing
of young Willie Reed, is still in jail,
no effort for bond having been made

of court.
The fall session of the Bamberg

A number of tracts of land were
advertised to be sold for taxes last
Monday by the sheriff, but only one
tract was sold, as all the others set
tied up before the day of sale. The

bought by e. L. Spann for s23.00.
Beginning September 1st positive
ly no lamps will be charged when
bought at The Herald Book Store.
We do this under instructions from

claiming they had not gotten lamps
there. Remember they will not be
charged to anybody, so don't embar-
rass US by asking that they be charg-
ed.
The recent hot, dry weather has
played havoc with the cotton crop.
In some instances the crop was late

the yield short. There will be
no top crop in this section this year,
