Special Train for Columbia.

Mr.. J. R. Owens, who is an enthu-
siastic Confederate veteran as we'll
as public-spirited citizen, is much
interested in having Bamberg make
a fine showing at the unveiling OF
the monument to the Women Of the
Confederacy, which will take place
in Columbia on Thursday, April 11th.
To this end he has been working for
q special train to Columbia, and has
succeeded in getting the railroad au-
thorities to promise that if as many
as fifty will go from Bamberg a
special coach will leave here early
on the morning of the 18th, connect
ing at Branchville with special
train from Charleston, which goes
through to Columbia without stops,
arriving there in plenty of time to
witness the ceremonies and return
ing the same night, leaving Columbia
after the regular trains, which gives
one much longer day in Columbia.
The '.l. will be only S1.55 in par
ties of twenty-five, but the special
coach will only be furnished if suf-
ficient number to fill it will go. Mr..
Owens has already thirty or more
names on his list, and if any one
wishes to go they should see Mr..
Owens or leave their name at the
Bamberg Pharmacy or at The Herald
Office
1t is likely that the students of the
Carlisle Fitting School will attend
the exercises, and a delegation from
Camp Jenkins, No. 627, U. G. ", will
also attend, and no doubt the F. NJ.
Bamberg Chapter Daughters of the
Confederacy will also send number
of representatives, which will pos
sibly make up a sufficient number to
fill two coaches. Wouldn't it be fine
if we could get two special coaches
filled with Bamberg people? Don't
delay if you want to go, but notify
one of those mentioned above right
away.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Many of life's so-called luxurles
are but base limitations.
A good place to pass away the time
is at a pawnbroker's.
The ratio of officeseekers to Office
holders is about 1900 to 1.
Poets are born just. the same as
other poor unfortunates.
Woman's inhumanity to man
makes the divorce lawyer happy.
A self-made man is seldom capable
of loving more than once.
An average man is one who thinks
he is away above the average.
Many a man who never saw a ship
is capable of handling schooners.
Some men, like mules, do little
head work and are always kicking.
1t isn't bachelors ways that count
so much with young widows as his
means.
After might has prevailed it is call
ed right by those who were benefited
thereby.

Changes in Laws.

The general assembly of 1911
changed the law in this county in
regard to electing cotton Weighers.
These were formerly elected by the
board of county commissioners, now
they are to be elected in the primary
by districts, just as magistrates The
law in regard to county commission
ers was also changed, the general as
sembly dividing the county into dis
tricts. The law is as follows:
That Bamberg county is hereby
divided into two election districts.
so far as the election of county COM
missioners is concerned, which dis
tricts shall be: District one, COM
posed of Buford's Bridge and Bam-
berg townships, and district two shall
be composed of Midway, Fishpond,
and Three Mile townships.
Each of said districts shall be en-
titled to one county commissioner,
to be elected as now provided by law.

Lyceum Course Next Season.

Mr.. Dilworth, representing the AL
kahest Lyceum Bureau, was in the
city Tuesday and arranged with
Head Master Guilds, of the Carlisle
Fitting School, for a lyceum course
for next season. The course is an
unusually strong one, the attractions
being the highest-priced yet put on
here, making the course cost consld-
erably more than in former years
There are two musical attractions
composed of ladies, two musical at
fractions composed of men, and one
lecturer, all being the highest
cless performers appearing in lyceum
courses. Mr.. Guilds and the gen.
tlemen associated with him have not
gone into this as money-maklng
enterprise but for the good of the
town and community, and as our
people will soon be called upon to
purchase season tickets, the response
should be liberal. These attractions
are indeed cheap, especially when one
purchases season ticket, and
enough tickets should be sold with
out canvassing to make the venture
absolutely safe for the public-spirit-
ed gentlemen who have pledged the
course.

Fitting School Commencement.
A~N~N
Secretary

Commencement at the Carlisle
Fitting School this year will begin on
June 1st and run through June 3rd.
It now seems that the school will
have one of the best commencements
in it's history and preparations are
being made to make it a success.
Saturday night will be student
night. For this night the students
are undertaking something that is
not only new for amateur players but
exceedingly difficult and uncommon.
They are preparing to render the old
English morality play "Everyman. .
This play was written during the
early part of the sixteenth century.
and is the best known of the morality
plays which formed an important
step in the development of the En-
glish drama. In speaking of this
play Bishop Percy says: "The SUBJ
ject of this piece is the summoning
of man out of the world by death;
and it's moral that nothing will then
avail him but well-spent life and
the comforts of religion"
The students are also getting up
choruses, etc.
DR.. J. Walter Daniel, presiding ell
der of the Charleston district, will
preach the annual sermon and also
preach before the Young Peoples
Christian Association.
Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson
college, will deliver the annual ad-
dress before the literary societies.
All who have heard these men
know what there is in store for those
who hear them at commencement.

Soil Survey Later.
Washington, March IS, 1912.
The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg,

Washington, March IS, 1912.
The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg,
S. C.
My Dear Sir:-I have for some
time endeavored to induce the De-
partment of Agriculture to make a
soil survey of Bamberg county. The
governments experts are now in
Barnwell county. Senator Tillman
very kindly Joined me in my request
to the department, urging them to
make the survey, and the chief of the
bureau, under date of March the
18th, writes as follows:
Upon examination of the status
of the field work at this time, find
that the work in Barnwell county is
only about twenty-three per cent.
completed, leaving about six hundred
and seventy square miles to survey.
The weather conditions have been
unfavorable for field work all through
the South, and I find that under ex-
ceptionally good conditions, we could
not complete the Barnwell county
survey before the latter part of June
and our schedule for summer assign
ments should begin in April. The
season for northern assignments is
somewhat limited and you can readily
see that it is impossible to extend
the time of this four-man party to
take up any work in Bamberg county.
We have about twenty parties work
ing in the field and we should have
all the men in the northern assign
ments as soon as possible in order
to satisfy, in part, the eight hundred
requests we have on file in this Of
flee.
Il am glad that Professor Marbut
had an opportunity to talk this mat
ter over with you, explaining the sit
uation in detail, and I am exceedingly
grateful to you for consenting to let
this matter go for the present. 7
shall take pleasure in recommending
the survey of Bamberg county dur
ing the next winter season."
From the number of applications
you can appreciate how important the
farmers of other sections regard this
survey, and I can assure you that I
shall, next fall, present to the chief
of the bureaI, his letter promising
to recommend the survey next win
ter.
Yours very truly,
JAMES F. BYRNES.

Church to be Built in One Day.

On the vacant lot at the corner of
South Church street and Bomar ave-
nue. a handsome, up-to-date church
will spring up between the rising and
the setting of the sun on day yet to
be named. Work will begin as soon
as it is light enough to see and at 8
o'clock in the evening the congrega-
ton will worship in the new edifice.
The members of Bethel Methodist
church, under the leadership of their
en- erprising pastor, Rev. John w.
Speake, and Chas. P. Hammond,
chairman of the building committee,
have arranged to build this church
about the first of May. The date for
the completion of the building will
be set within the next few days.
Plans and specifications have al
ready been submitted and adopted.
The auditorium of the church is to be
35x60 feet and the Sunday-school
room will be 15x31 feet. Another
class room will be 18x29 feet, and
there are to be two entrances, each
with vestibule. 1t will be hand
somely finished, painted and complet-
ed in every respect in one day. Every
carpenter and mechanic in Spartan
burg will be employed for this task,
and if there is not enough in the city,
others will be secured from other
towns. A heavy coat of paint will be
put on the building, both inside and
outside, before the hour named for
the beginning of the dedication SER
vices. Electric light fixtures will be
installed as the work progresses from
hour to hour, and not moment will
be lost.
The material will be purchased be-
fore hand and when the spade is
placed in the ground to excavate the
first foundation, the work starts.
Dinner will be served on the ground
by the ladies of Bethel church and
the workmen will not be away from
their duties more than several mo-
ments for the midday meal. The
mechanical work will be in charge of
J. NJ. Crawford, of this city, who will
superintend the building of the edi-
flee. Photographs will be made of
the building once an hour, showing
the progress that has been made
every go minutes.
This church will be a part of Beth
ell and is to be known as ''El-Bethel"
Methodist church. Rev. J. W. Speake
will act as pastor of the church for
the year, in addition to his duties at
Bethel.
The congregation and Mr.. Speake
are most enthusiastic over the new
building and are determined to see it
carried to completion. Many other
citizens of the city are interested and
the scheme is sure to be made sue
cessful.
"Churches have been erected in a
single day in other cities, and we are
not only going to duplicate the feat
here, but we are going to surpass it,
said Mr.. Speake this morning.
At Waco, Texas, building was
completed in one day, but the church
in this city is to be SO per cent. larger
than the Texas building. Others have
been built in other cities, among them

MAKE WAR A HORROR.
England Considers Shell Filled With
Smallpox or Cholera.

Smallpox or Cholera.
If the nations of the earth do not
want peace, then let them have war
in earnest. This is the nature Of the
programme now being considered by
the English government, pro-
gramme that, instead of explosives
now used calls for shell filled with
smallpox, cholera or typhoid fever,
fire bombs, "Blindite" bullets and
other methods of destruction and
desolation. The warfare of the fu-
ture, if any of these plans are adopt
ed, will be a war between chemists
instead of gunmakers, and the nation
with the most ingenious scientists
will be the one to conquer.
One of the plans now being consid-
cred calls for an alright shell, filled
with billions of germs of cholera or
smallpox or typhoid. Fired into be-
sieged city, these deadly shells will do
their work far more effectively than
any melanite, lyddite or other explo-
sive ever invented. The thickest ar
NOR plate or the heaviest guns in the
world will be useless against them.
In a week the besieged city would
be a mere pestilence-laden graveyard,
which even the victors would hesi-
tate in entering.
Another idea of chemist inventor
is a shell filled with material that will
literally set the atmosphere on fire.
When this shell bursts over town or
camp the air will be filled with blaz-
ing red-hot sparks that will settle
down and burn everything within
reach. The atmosphere itself will be-
come so heated that no living being
could exist in it for more than few
minutes.
The war office of Great Britain is
giving serious attention to a new fog
shell, long the dream of many ma
tions. When the fog shell explodes,
the air for hundreds of yards around
the spot will be filled with thick,
dense fog. The largest Dreadnought
would be rendered useless in few
minutes by one of these shells, and
that without injuring the ship in any,
way. 1t would simply be shut in by
the fog, a mist so thick that no
search-light could penetrate it. A
few torpedo boats, once the fog she'll
had been exploded, could sink their
huge enemy with practically no dan
ger to themselves. 1t would render
submarine invincible.
But the most horrible of the new
inventions has been called "Blindite.' >
AS it's name implies it is ghastly
substance which blinds anyone with
in reach. 1t is claimed that enough
"Blindite" can be put into an Or
dinary rifle bullet to blind a dozen
people. A shell filled with this would
blind every one within radius of
100 yards. Such a shell exploding
over a warship, would leave it abso-
lutely helpless, while it would put
whole army divisions out of action
at single stroke. The chemist who
discovered the substance has been al
most blind ever since.
