March has been doing fine so far
in the matter of new subscribers and
renewals We only hope it will keep
up this way all the year.
A. NJ. Denbow, as trustee, sold the
bankrupt stock of groceries of 0. L..
Lain last Saturday. Mr.. B. W. Sim
mons was the purchaser.
The woman's home mission society
will meet as usual in the ladies' par
lor of the Methodist church next

The street hands are engaged in
opening up the side drains on Main
street and otherwise improving the
street.
At the bankrupt sale Saturday of
, the stock of Mr.. o. L. Lain, the en-
tire stock was purchased by Mr.. B.
W. Simmons, who is now conducting
the store.
The governor has appointed the
following as members Of the county

ner, Denmark; George J, HERS, Ehr-
hardt; Julius G. Rhoad.
The various township boards of
equalization were in session here

of their townships. The county
board will next consider them.
The total sales of the various dis
pensaries in Bamberg county for the
month of February amounted to S11,-
962.46, according to the report of
the dispensary auditor just issued.
The men who work for The Her.
aid spend their money in Bamberg,
and therefore every interest receives
a benefit from their earnings. The
Herald, therefore, wants all the home
business.
Those veterans, descendants of
veterans, and widows wishing to OBJ
tain cross of honor, must apply to
Capt. J. H. Risher or Mrs. j. H. Muir
ply for application blanks. The
blanks must be properly filled out
and returned by March goth, instead
of April 1st, as was published in last
weeks issue.
A rainbow at midday when there is
not a cloud in sight is somewhat un-
usual in Bamberg; but was seen when
connection was made with the water
main on Main street the other day.
An opening was made in the water
main and for while a spray of wa
ter shot up, against which the sun
shine produced the colors of the rain
bow.
The acquittal of Woodward for
killing Haley, the trial taking place
at Walterboro last week, reminds
us that Woodward showed us let
ter 3 little more than year ago,
written by Haley to Woodward's
wife, saying that he was going to
kill Woodward and wanted her to
run away to Georgia or some place
with. him.
AS soon as possible our Mr.. R. NJ.
Hit will visit every town in the coun-
ty and get in touch with the mer-
chants and other business men at
each place. He has been busy max
ing out bills and attempting to COL
lect most of the time since his ar
rival. We would certainly appreciate
it if all who have received statements
would forward checks promptly, as
we need the money.
Service on the two new rural
routes is rapidly being gotten in fine
shape. Already there are more than
sixty boxes erected on route num-
Der 4, and more than forty on route
number 8. The people certainly ap-
preciate the service, and the only
wonder is that these routes were not
established several years ago. The
postmaster here is glad that he was
able to secure this service for the
people.
Our merchants should remember
that The Herald brings lot of out
ef-town money to Bamberg. We do
printing for a number of other towns
in this section, and the money we
receive is spent in Bamberg. Fact is,
if we depended on Bamberg alone,
our business would not be sufficient
to employ near all the men we have.
Every additional man employed in
the business means that much more
money spent in Bamberg.
The Herald has the finest equipped
printing office in this section of the
State, and we are prepared to do
work which usually has to be sent to
