self in this issue as candidate for

Mr.. w. D. Sease announces him

There are plenty more candidates

so they might as well come along.
Rev. J. w. Speaks, an Episcopal
minister of Charleston, conducted
services here last Sunday at the
Presbyterian church.
In renewing for his subscription,
Mr.. Jas. E. Delk, of Barnwell, writes:
Cant do without your paper. 1t
is the best paper l know Of"
The date of the exhibition of the
Wofford gymnasium team at the Car
Isle Fitting School auditorium has
been changed to tonight (Thurs-
day.
The governor has appointed Hon.
S. G. Mayfeld, of this city, as DEL
egate to the Southern commercial
congress which meets in Nashville,
Tenn, next month.
Next Monday is the first Monday
in April and salesday. Only one
public sale is to be made, and that
by the Master, of house and lot
in the town of Bamberg. The county
board of commissioners will hold a
regular quarterly meeting here that
day.
While here several days ago Mr..
w. D. Mcmillan, of Hahira, Ca, left
with US a sample of the long staple
cotton grown over there. This cot
ton is worth 2714 cents the pound
at the present time. The sample is
on exhibition in our show window,
and everybody can come in and see
it.
We heard this "wednesday
morning just before going to press
that there was wreck on the South
ern at Blackville last night, pas
senger and freight train having COL
lided. We have not been able to
verify the truth of the report. 1t
was said that the engineers of both
trains were right badly hurt.
Bamberg is suffering badly from
leck of mail facilities on account of
delayed trains. We have never
known the trains to run more be-
hind time than they have for the
past few weeks. Can't We get re-
lief? 1t would seem that the trains
which carry the mail should be forced
to run something like on time.
Fire broke out this morning about
ten o'clock in the kitchen of Mr.. L.
M. Ayers residence. Although the
distance was about 1900 feet from
the nearest fire hydrant, line Of
hose was strung and the house
saved. Considerable damage was
done, especially to the kitchen, but
it is covered by insurance. Again
has the water works prevented dis
astrous fire.
The 30th annual convention of the
South Carolina Sunday-School Asso-
citation will be held at Greenwood
April 16, II, and 1S. 1t will be
remarkable gathering of the religious
forces of the State. Bamberg coun-
ty is entitled to eight delegates.
Those wishing to go should apply at
once to Mr.. Alfred B. Utsey, at Bam-
berg, who will furnish credentials
for the county.
Of course The Herald is making
plenty Of money, but it takes a pow
erful lot of it for expenses. When
it's not salaries it's taxes and insur-
ance, or some other expense, all Of
which takes cash money. When a
country newspaper has to raise forty
dollars or more every Saturday night
for salaries alone, it means that COL
lections must be made promptly or
the help will go lacking, something
which is not allowed in this Office.
The commencement exercises OF
the Carlisle Fitting School will be
held June 1-3 this year. Rev. j.
Walter Daniel, D. D., presiding elder
of the Charleston district, will preach
the annual sermon, and the address
before the literary societies will be
delivered by Prof. D. w. Daniel, Of
Clemson college. The school has en-
joyed prosperous year under the
able management of Headmaster J.
C. Guilds and his corps Of assist
ants.
