The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-09-14

platform room to fully accommodate
the rush like there has been for the
past two weeks.
The growth of the town still con-
tinues. Several dwellings have been
built this year. L. NJ. HERS and
Sons have erected a handsome brick
store, and now Mr.. S. w. Copeland
is preparing to build a store house
on the north side of his present store,
moving the old wooden building that
is now there to the rear. Success
seems to succeed down this Way-all
except the school house.
Mr.. J. C. Kinard came home about
ten days ago from Charleston, where
he was under special treatment for
large carbuncle on his neck, which
caused blood poisoning. Mr.. Kinard
was critically i'll for some time and
it was feared that his recovery was
doubtful, but he has been spared and
is now doing fine and with no back
set will soon be able to join the boys
with the "rod and reel' and make
up his lost time. Mr.. Kinard is the
city's present mayor, having been for
several years past.
Well, tomorrow is election day
again, which will satisfy some, as far
as being elected is concerned. The
governorship race between Messrs.
Manning and Blease being the hard
est fought, Some folks are working
hard for the wrong man, but we sin
cerely hope the right one will get
the Job. There is lot of money in
circulation now and for "booze' to
be easily secured will cause plenty
of trouble-we will soon know who
is who.
What has become of Col. Brab-
ham, the colored cotton "specialist?'
We have not seen anything from him
regarding this years success or fail
ure with growing the different
shades, as he promised last year that
he was going to accomplish. May
be he is at the border, or will tell us
about it when the election is over.
According to the present styles (with
cotton goods) if Mr.. Brabham will
just grow enough colors to have a
big black, pink, yellow or green stripe
descending or ascending the skirt,
or circling the waist) every now and
then, he will be every woman's man.
Messrs. C. Ehrhardt and J. E. Folk
rallied forth last week and tried to
catch out the entire finny tribe at
Howell's' Old Mill. They caught
some nice perch and jack. Just be-
fore leaving time Mr.. Folk landed an
old mud" that tipped the scales at
four and one-half pounds. He says
to pull a fish like that with a long
line through bushes and snags with
one hand and fight mosquitoes with
the other is some job. Getting on
to fish stories; guess it is time to
stop.
1t was noticed few weeks ago
that Mr.. Chas. Henerey, bookkeeper
at the Farmers & Merchants bank,
was looking after The Herald's in
terests down here. We thought then
that Mr.. Henery was going to furnish
some good news letters for the pa
per, but so far he has failed to con-
tribute any. Guess he is getting all
that he can do this time of season
at his post of duty. Mr.. Henery is
a worthy young man and we don't
think The Herald could have gotten
came down last week on visit to
any better man for this work.
Mrs. L. P. Mcmillan, OF Bamberg,
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Le-
macks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Ehrhardt
and Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt motored
up to Newberry last Tuesday on a
visit to friends and relatives, return
ing home Saturday.
Messrs. Stacy Kearse, Raleigh
Kinard and Harry Copeland visited
the city by the sea Sunday evening,
returning early Monday morning,
making the trip in an auto.
