Mr.. J. B. Brickle has almost COM
= pleted his new garage building on
Main street, and will occupy it soon.
The building is large and roomy, af-
fording a great deal more floor space
than the building now occupied by
Mr.. Brickle.
Mckenzie Brothers, Of Ehrhardt,
have filed voluntary petition in
bankruptcy in the United States dis
trict court at Charleston. The pc
titioners allege their liabilities to be
$4,000 and their assets $4,000, ap-
proximately.
Magistrate J. c. Copeland Monday
tried Isaac Brown on three charges,
violation of contract, carrying con-
cealed weapons and firing on public
highway, and resisting an officer. The
negro was convicted on all three

gang.
Mr.. ]. J. Chassereau, of Barlow,
Ca, in renewing his subscription,
SAYS: "I am from Ehrhardt, S. c.,
so you see can't do without The
Herald. 1 am always glad to get The
Herald to hear the news from home" "
Mr.. Chassereau adds that he still has
his cotton crop on hand, not having
sold any.
The fellow who thinks that the
newspaper is able to carry over sub
scription accounts until after the
war closes has certainly gotten the
thing sized up wrong. Printers and
paper houses expect their pay when
it is due, and the newspaper man
certainly cannot pay his debts un-
less his subscribers pay theirs.
Moral: Make an effort to pay your
subscription today, if it is due.
At noon Wednesday fatal acci-
dent occurred at Brooker Zorn's gin
merry at Govan. Two men, Lewis
Kennedy, white, and Luther MINI
mons, negro, were entrapped be-
meath the press and mangled beyond
recognition. They were in the act
of setting the press preparatory to
packing a bale of cotton when the
follow block slipped, catching them.

The job department Of The
Bamberg Herald last Saturday
printed for a firm in this. city
5000 double page circulars. The
printing was done on the Miehle
press in this Office in just three and
one-half hours. The job was ready
for delivery in about As hours after
the copy was handed in, notwith-
standing the fact that we have no
electric current on Saturday after
moons.
Headmaster J.. c. Guilds, Of the
Carlisle school, has received up to
this date 80 bales of cotton in re-
sponse to the offer of the school to
accept two bales of cotton at ten
cents per pound in part payment of
tuition and term fees in the school.
The patrons of the school accepting
the offer feel very grateful to the
school for the liberal offer, and many
of the parents sending students to
the school were quick to accept the
proposition.
The Farmers Gin company will in
stall some time before next season
an up-to-date -four mill, to accomo-
date the farmers this coming. year
who expect to plant wheat. This
is a mighty good step in the right
direction, and will doubtless encour-
age the planting of wheat crops this
season. The price of flour is high in
ordinary times, and has gone up
higher since the war in Europe start
ed. The lands in Bamberg are said
to be we'll adapted to wheat raising,
and there is no reason why every
farmer should not plant at least
