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


A large crowd from Bamberg spent
last Sunday at the Isle of Palms.
Our people ought to wake up on
the subject of good roads. Nothing
will enhance the value of farming
lands more.
Several bales of cotton were sold
on the Bamberg market last week.
Cotton is opening rapidly in this Sec
ton, and the receipts here will soon
be large every day.
Our merchants are back from the
Northern markets, having bought i'm
mense stocks of goods, which are ar
irving daily. A fine fall and winter
business is expected.
Next Monday is the first Monday
in the month and salesday. One
sale of real estate is to be made by
Master H. c. Folk, in the case of P.
c. Dukes against Geo. w. May ct al.
The cotton crop in this section has
been much damaged by the recent
dry weather and the yield will not
be as large as was expected some
weeks ago. Never have we seen
cotton shed more than for the past
three weeks.
The pool room will be moved Sept.
1st from the Hoffman store into the
store now occupied by Mrs. A. Mob.
Speaks & Co., this firm moving into
the Pearlstine store, next door to
their present stand. A barber shop,
run by two white BARRIERS, will open
in the front part of the pool room.
Persons who live on the rural
routes and who happen to be in town
any day before the carriers leave can
get their mail by calling at the post
Office and asking for the carrier on
the route they live on. 1t is a pleas
ure for the postmaster to accommo-
date the public, and persons VINO
want their mail as above can get 1t
for the asking.
Building operations are lively IN
Bamherg just now. The handsome
residence of DR.. Robert Black, the
b,ick building on Main street being
erected by DR.. J. B. Black, the large
dormitory at Carlisle School, and the
new building for post Office makes
the town have a buster appearance
than usual. Bamberg is not a I'm
ished town by long ways.
Work has commenced on the new
dormitory for boys at Carlisle School,
: and the work is going forward rapid
.ly. Messrs B. E. Grandy & Son have
the contract. 1t will be remembered
that these gentlemen built the graded
school building and the city hall,
this structure being Bamberg's SKY
scraper." The work on the dorml-
tory will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
The first dance at the river pa
vilion was held Tuesday of this week.
Good music was furnished during the
afternoon and evening by Bearden's
band from Augusta. The weather
was delightfully."- cool, and the dane
ers enjoyed the dancing in the open
air. A number of young lady visitors
from Orangeburg, Barnwell, and
other points were present, as we'll as
& very large crowd of young men.
The law now authorizes the SEN
ator and members of the house to
recommend three members of the
county hoard of control, instead Of
the old plan of one being appointed
by the mayors, one by the delegation,
and one by the county board of edu-
cation. We understand that our dele
cation will recommend the very best
men they can find for the position,
in order that the dispensary in this
county may be conducted on busi-
ness basis.
Commencing with Monday, August
f25, the carriers on the rural routes
out of Bamberg changed their sched-
ules. This was done on application
of the postmaster to the department,
as the daily papers are now arriving
here on the early trains, and there
is very little mail coming in on the
1907 train. They formerly left at
- o'clock, but their leaving time is
now 1890 a. m, and they will arrive
in the afternoon at five o'clock. In
terested parties will please take no
tice of this change.
