the only evidences of prosperity and
progress in this little city and coun-
ty, the latter, by the way, being the
smallest of the As in the State.
A lar ge amount of building is go
ing on in the town just now and has
been for the past several months. A
number of new residences have been
built and several are under construc-
tion now. In the business section of
the town, especially, has progress
along building lines been noted, sew
eral new structures having gone up
in the past few months.
Just now the city is expending a
considerable amount of money in a
most worthy cause.-the putting down
of a large conduit across wide sec
ton of the city which will serve as a
drain for about half of the town.
This tunnel is being constructed of
brick and covered over with earth as
it is finished. 1t is believed that the
laying of this system Of drainage
means more for the health of the
community than any step which has
been taken along similar lines in a
decade.
The present year has seen the
opening up of third bank in Bam-
berg and another building and loan
association. All three banks are in
f1ourishing condition, and during the
past season something like million
and quarter dollars were on deposit
"a splendid showing for a town OF
Bamberg's population.
Situated in the heart of one of the
finest farming sections of the State,
and the home of some of the largest
planters in South Carolina, and for
years the largest live stock market OF
the State, besides being the abode of
some of South Carolina's very best
people, the secret of the little city's
prosperity is not hard to discover

Improvements Going Forward.

City council has contracted for a
lot of sidewalk paving, and that body
will have the thanks of many citi-
zens who have heretofore had to
wade through mud and slush. Com
mencing at the old post office build
ing on the East side of Main street
the cement sidewalk will be extend
ed down to the cotton mill corner,
and on the West side of the same
street cement sidewalk will be laid
from Hays's corner to the cotton mill
corner, thus giving concrete side
walks on both sides of Main street
from the passenger station to the
cotton mill corner This is going
some for a town the size of Bam-
berg.
But council is not yet through
with the work of improving the side
walks, for a contract has also been
let for concrete sidewalk from Main
street to the Carlisle School on Elm
street. The walk will also be widen
ed. Work has already begun on the
Main street walks, and all the work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

ERA OF MUCH PROGRESS.
CHARLESTON POST REVIEWS
GROWTH OF BAMBERG.
New Railroad, Postofice, Bank,
Stores, Homes, and
DOrnitOry.

Bamberg, June 12.-The people Of
Bamberg county are soon to witness
an event which means more for the
upbuilding of that community than
any. one thing that has transpired in
that section of the country in gen
eration=-the opening to trafl c. of
the Bamberg, Walterboro and Ehr-
hardt Railroad.
A line of railroad traversing the
rich section of the county between
the county seat, and Colleton county,
tapping the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
roads line extending from Ehrhardt
to Green Pond, where connection
with the main line of the A. C. L..
from Charleston to Savannah is ef-
fected, was a dream for years of the
citizens of Bamberg. That dream
is now reality, or will be so within
the course of two months, for the
line of railroad will be opened to
traffic in the next two months.
The Bamberg, Walterboro and Ehr-
hardt Railroad has been completed
from Ehrhardt to a point within city
limits of Bamberg. Last Saturday a
deal was closed for 1 IL acre tract
of land near the centre of the town
which will be used as terminal site.
Within the next few days the road
will be laid up to this depot site, and
then the long-dreamed-of steel high
way connecting the towns of Bam-
berg and Ehrhardt will have been
finished in it's entirety. The next few
weeks will be devoted to putting the
finishing touches on the road, levell-
ing up the rails and making firm the
roadbed.
The distance between the two
towns, by the newly built railroad,
is something like IA miles. At Bam-
berg connection will be made with
the Branchville-August line of the
Southern Railroad, thus allowing the
interchange of freight between the
two roads. The entering into the
town of new railroad will make
Bamberg a competitive rate point,
and in this particular alone the busi-
ness interests of the town will be
amply repaid for whatever sacrifices
may have been made in promoting
the new road. The new line opens
up a virgin section of country and
a new field for the merchants and
other business men of Bamberg.
The railroad is being built by the
Ajax Construction Company, compos-
ed of Jones A. Williams and E. G..

Death of MIR. G. F.. Hutto.

Mr.. G. E. Hutto, a prominent plant
er of this community, died at his
residence a few miles below town
Monday afternoon of this week, after
an illness of about three weeks. His
illness was of a serious nature, and
it had been feared for some days
that he could not recover. The
burial took place Tuesday afternoon
at the Lutheran church situated in
the same community, the services be-
ing largely attended by the friends
and relatives of himself and family.
Revs. w. H. Hodges and w. R. Nc
MILAN conducted the religious SER
vices, while the Masons and knights
of Pythias also conducted the SER
vices of these orders, Mr.. Hutto be-
ing a member of both orders. The
pail bearers were selected from the
Masonic LODGE
Mr.. Hutto was born April goth,
1853, and was sixty-one years old at
the time Of his death. He was born
in the same section where he lived
and died. He is survived by wife
and two sons, and several grand
children. Mr.. Hutto was not only a
large planter, but he with his sons
conducted saw and planning mill
and ginnery./ Mr.. Hutto took great
interest in political and other affairs
pertaining to his county and State,
and was always prominent in gather
ings which meant the progress and
prosperity of the community. He
served the county in various capaci-
ties where he could be of benefit, but
he never cared to run for political
office, although he was a man OF
strong character and always took part
in political campaigns. He was
strong friend to those whom he liked,
and his very large number of warm
friends in this city and community
deplore his death. For years he had
been a strong personal friend of the
editor of this newspaper, and we
feel deep sense of personal loss in
his death.

Haves. of Bamberg, and w. G. Wolfe,
of Orangeburg. To the worthy cause
the citizens of Bamberg contributed
between $4,000 and $4,000, prac-
tically all of which has been paid IN.
The Bamberg and Ehrhardt Railroad
Company is officered by the following
prominent business men of Bamberg:
J. Aldrich Wyman, president; Thom-
as Black, vice president, and w. D.
Rhoad, secretary and treasurer.
While the railroad was constructed
by private parties, it is generally be-
lieved that it will be operated by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, which,
as stated before, already has a line
extending from Green Pond to Ehr-
hardt. The two roads being connect
ed at Ehrhardt, gives the Atlantic
Coast Line it's first and only direct
and continuous line through Bam-
berg county. 1t is also generally be-
lieved that the Bamberg, WATERFORD
Ehrhardt Railroad will not terminate
permanently at Bamberg, but will
be extended on across the county
and connected with the Atlantic Coast
Lines road between Orangeburg and
Denmark. The road would have to
be extended but three or four miles
to make this connection.
A Splendid Postoffice.
It is generally conceded that Bam-
berg has the most up-to-date post
Office quarters of any South Caro-
lima town of less than 5000 popula-
ton, and few cities of the 10000
population class can boast of any
thing that is better. Not only has
there been a great improvement re-
Gently in the postoffice quarters OF
the town, but the general service has
been increased in efficiency to the
point where there is not more ably
conducted institution of the kind in
any city of the State. Credit for
these improvements, both in the post
office quarters and the service, is
due in large measure to the untiring
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1914-06-18

efforts of A. W. knight, owner and
editor OF The Bamberg Herald, who
was appointed postmaster several
months ago. The postoffice is en-
sconced in a handsome two-story
brick building, erected for the pur-
pose by Mr.. Knight, and adjoins and
matches his building in which The
Bamberg Herald is quartered.
The postofice building is complete
to the minutest detail. The structure

The Station Situation.

1t appears that the movement
for new passenger station or i'm
proving the present one is at a stand
still at present. Supt. Arthur, of the
Southern Railway, was in the city
last Thursday with the blue prints
showing the improvements at the
present station. The plans were sat-
isfactory to some of the citizens,
while others did not like them. Some
felt that we should have a new sta
tion entirely and that it should be
moved from the. present site.
The plans of the railroad, which
suited some, included remodeling the
present building, building baggage
room about where the tool house is
now located, placing the white wait
ing room at the East end of the
building and the colored waiting
room at the West end, putting a con-
crete pavement in front of the build
ing next the tracks and ebert paw
ing behind the station, covered ap-
proaches at the back so that pass
engers in carriages could enter the
depot and depart without getting
wet in case of rain, the track in front
of station to be placed farther away
from station and out farther in the
street, butterfly sheds in front and at
ends of building, which would close
the street at West end of station.
Some objected strongly to closing this
street, also to placing the track far
ther out in the street. The railroad
also had plans for septic tank and
sanitary toilets in all waiting rooms.
The changes outlined on the plans
were great improvement over what
we have at present, but Mr.. Arthur
stated he could not consider any
proposition which would mean NOV
ing the present station, as it would
mean abandoning the property, which
he felt the company should not be
called on to do.
AS the present plans for improve
ment call for moving the tracks far
ther out in the street and the clos
ing of the street mentioned above,
to which so many were opposed. it
seemed impossible to get together,
and the conference broke up with
out any decision being reached. AS
the railroad commission will have to
approve the plans for station i'm
provements before anything can be
done, those who were not pleased
with the plans presented will no
doubt take the matter up with the
commission and see if the railroad
cannot be forced to give Bamberg
passenger station improvements
without closing one street and en-
croaching on another still more with
their tracks.
AS there is a congested condi'
ton at the passenger and freight
stations, it makes the problem a
hard one to deal with, and what is
best to do with justice to the citizens
as well as the railrod is a hard
proposition to meet, but if, as argued
by some, the improvements planned
are only makeshift and temporary
it would seem to be good business
Judgment on the part of the railroad
to erect new station at some less
congested point, putting up build
ing that will serve the town fol
twenty-five or more years.
