SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

There was a large party OF IolAS
from the Ehrhardt section in the
CITY Yesterday on their way to the
State Fair in Columbia.
The Columbia Record is now is
sued seven days in the week, it's first
Sunday edition appearing last Sun
day. A fine edition it was too.
The special term of court convenes
here next Monday morning and the
regular term one week later. Only
civil cases will be tried next week.
Next Monday is the first Monday in
the month and sales day. Several
tracts of land are to be sold by the
Master and one by the Sheriff for
taxes.
A number of people from this city
and county have gone to Columbia
this week to attend the State Fair.
Several people went up in automo-
biles.
Our people are in earnest about a
new passenger station for Bamberg,
and it looks like their efforts are 60
ing to result in a nice new building
in the near future.
Mrs. ]. A. Wyman and Mrs. E. B.
Walker will entertain tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon at the handsome
home of Mrs. Wyman, compliment
tary to Mrs. L. P. Mcmillan.
Several negroes were arrested here
last Saturday afternoon and night,
and as a result the treasury Of the
city was enriched to the extent Of
about one hundred dollars Monday
morning. Negroes can't stand pros
perity. They have plenty of money
nowadays, and many of them must
get drunk and disorderly in order to
let other people know it.
This prosperity hits the newspaper
man just the same as hard times.
In hard times the merchants say that
it is no use to advertise as the people
haven't any money. Now they are
not advertising very much, as they
say they can sell all of the goods they
want to without advertising. So
there you are. What is the poor
newspaper man to do, after all?
The people OF Bamberg county GER
tainly have money this fall. The
clerk of court informs us that he is
kept pretty busy these days marking
mortgages satisfied, many of them
being mortgages of real estate which
have been standing several years. He
gave it as his opinion that the people
generally are in better financial shape
than since the county was formed.
More old debts are being paid than
ever before.
The new post ceice building, now
being erected by the publisher of
this newspaper, is costing us lot of
money, and we need every dollar
due us. Especially will we need mon
ey during this month, and we beg all
who owe us dollar to send it to US
not later than the 18th of November,
as the building will be practically
completed by that time. If your sub
scription is due, or if you owe us for
advertising or job work, or a book
store account, pay us by the 18th.
The hospital movement is getting
along nicely. Plans and specifications
from several architects were consid-
cred by the committee at meeting
held several days ago, and another
meeting of subscribers to the fund
will be called in a few days. The
committee in charge of the matter
is going carefully into all matters
connected with the enterprise, and
at the next meeting the entire propo-
sition will be presented in definite
form in detail as to all arrangements.
The dispensary at Bamberg open
ed up for business last Saturday and
soon sold out the supply of whiskey
on hand, as all the stock was the
samples sent by various houses when
bids were opened. Some of the sam
pies were sent to Denmark, and they
were soon sold out there also. Some
of the whiskey arrived Monday, and
the dispensary here was opened and
is doing business. Dispensaries at
the various towns in the county will
be opened up in few days, as the
whiskies arrives. The dispensary at
this place took in about $3.50 Satur-
day.
Building operations in Bamberg
are progressing nicely. The post
Office building will no doubt be
ready for occupancy in the next two
weeks or such matter The fixtures
