The ginning report for Bamberg
county up to December 1st, as shown
by the government report, is 24,O91

the 1913 crop for this county will
reach nearly thirty thousand bales.
If you owe The Herald anything,
don't wait for a statement to be sent
you. We are So busy we haven't
time to send out statements, but we
sure need every dollar due us. That
new post Office building is costing a
lot of money.
Looks like the new post Office is
going to be rather more of Christ
mas than Thanksgiving present to
the people of Bamberg, but we feel
sure that they do not regret the long
wait, as they are getting so much
nicer equipment than they expected.
City council has not held an elec-
ton to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. c.. c. Rowell as
night policeman. Temporary officers
are now being employed, and we un-
derstand that an election will be held
soon. Several applications have been
filed.
AS soon as a permanent night po-
licemap is elected, the postmaster
here hopes to effect an arrangement
t7 which first class mail can be re-
ceived here by the 5:45 a. m. train.
II this arrangement can be made
Bamberg will then have a fine mail
service.
There will be a big Masonic meet
ing here tomorrow (Friday) evening.
The local lodge will confer the NJ. NJ.
degree and a banquet will be served.
Several out of town lodges have been
invited, and pleasing time is antlcl-
pated. Officers for the lodge for the
coming year will also be elected.
Graham & Black moved their law
offices this week to the new brick
building opposite The Herald office,
erected for them by DR.. J. B. Black.
The building is a two-story brick
structure. Graham & Black occupy
the lower floor, and we understand
DR.. Thomas Black will have his den
tai offices upstairs.
The tiling in the post Office lobby is
now being laid, the fixtures are in
place, and it is thought the building
can be occupied the first part of next
week. Those who have not yet Sc
lected boxes are asked to see the
post master at once and pick out
the box they want. He can be found
around the old or new post office
most any time and will be glad to
have you select your box without
delay.
The many friends of the family in
Bamberg will be interested in the
approaching marriage of Miss Hen
rietta May Steadman, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Spann Steadman.
She will be married on Tuesday after
noon, Decent Der 23rd, to Prof. Walter
Reid Wightman, and the wedding
will take place at Emory Methodist
church in Saluda county. Mr.. and
Mrs. Steadman formerly lived in Bam-
berg, and have many friends and
relatives in the city.
