Tick Eradication in County.

The bureau of animal industry. .
S. department of agriculture, has re-
Gently sent out circular letters and
printed matter concerning the work
of tick eradication in Bamberg coun'
ty. This work " instituted in BAN
berg county on .pril first. The cir
cular says, in part:
"Bamberg county has an area OF
81 square miles with cattle popu-
lation of 1868 head; the annual loss
to the cattle owners due to the cattle
tick is $15,450.00. When the ticks
are eradicated from your county cat-
tie will increase in value an average
of 1888 per head; this will amount
to $12,05O.00. The great loss you
are sustaining now and the increase
in value Of your cattle after your
county has been freed of ticks means
a profit of $3.50 per head for each
head of cattle you own, and it costs
you nothing but a little cooperation. .

DAY ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Comforts of Electric Fans May Now
Be Had.

A few days ago, as result of ex-
periments at the city power plant,
the commissioners Of public works
decided to put on day electric cur
rent during the summer months. 1t
has been realized for some time that
day current would be good thing
for the city, but on account Of the
small number of users of day current
in the town the authorities have been
confronted by the question of max
ing expenses. 1t is now believed that
there will be sufficient current useu
in the day time to warrant the pow
er plant running continuously.
A great many stores, offices, etc.,
in the city have longed for the COM
forts of electric fans during the day,
and the announcement of the plant
running throughout the day was re-
ceived with much pleasure. In or
der that the power plant may run
profitably it will be necessary for
everybody to use electric current
during the day as much as possible,
and persons having machinery to run
would do we'll to install electric mo-
tors. There are not a great many
towns the size of Bamberg that have
day current, and this fact will doubt
less be appreciated by the people of
the city. 1t is to be hoped that day
current, at least during the summer,
may now be a permanent fixture. 1t
is stated that the plant will be operat-
ed for about four months.

The Carlisle school catalogue has
Just been issued from the presses of
The Bamberg Herald. The cata-
logue this year is a very attractive
one, being, in the opinion of those
who have seen it, the best the school

er, embossed in gold, ornaments the
booklet, and large number of views
Of the school, grounds and school or
ganizations, illustrate it to good ad-
vantage. Head Master Guilds says
tht he has lready received a large
number of requests for catalogues,
and that the prospects of the school
were never so good in all the his
tory of Carlisle.

Carlisle improvements Started.

The contractor in charge of the
work of remodeling and adding to
the buildings Of Carlisle school has
arrived in the city, and the work is
now being started. The improve
ments include additions to and re-
modelling of the H. J. Brabham hall
for boys, the addition of class rooms
to the main building, and the in
stallation of a heating plant for the
main building. The work contem-
plated will cost the school authori-
ties about $4,000.
The improvements begun will be
completed in plenty of time, it is
stated, for the opening of the school
in September, and will render the
school many more advantages than
heretofore.
Already septic tanks and sewerage
have been installed in the boarding
halls, having been recently complet-
ed. The school last term enrolled
81 boarding students, the greatest
number by far than has been enrolled
at any previous term. With the ad-
ditions and Improvements now going
on, the school will have facilities for
the accommodation of 1876 boarding
students, and the authorities believe
that every place will be filled during
the coming summer vacation.
