POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS.
Material Increase in Business Shown
Over Last Year.

A material increase in the receipts
of the postoffice for the past year is
shown over the preceding year. The
increase in receipts amounted to
about $1,000, and corresponding
increase in the other business of the
office is shown. The outlook, stated
the postmaster, for still further in
crease in the postoffice business for
the next year is good.
Rural route number has been ex-
tended one and one-half miles on the
Charleston and Augusta road, and
made a standard route. All four of
the routes from the Bamberg postof-
flee are now standard routes.
The increase in business at the
postofice is a good index of the
growth of the town. AS is generally
known, the financial depression since
the European war began, has affect
ed all lines of business, and doubt
less the receipts would have been
much greater except for this fact.

River on Rampage.

For the first time in several years
the Edisto river reached the flood
stage Saturday last. Although there
have been very heavy rains for four
weeks past, the river did not rise suf-
fciently to be dangerous, but the
rains of the past week in the upper
part of Aiken county, Edgefield and
Saluda, swept down the Edisto Sat-
urday with a rush. Much damage is
reported to river bottom crops, and
several bridges have been badly dam
aged. New Bridge, on the Orange
burg road, was "floating' Saturday
and Sunday. The water was running
over the bridge, and the causeway
was completely covered by the water,
and the bridge was impossible. Many
Bamberg people went out Sunday af-
ternoon to view the raging river.
They stated that the causeway did
not appear to be damaged, but that
portions of the bridges had been
washed away.

CLEAN UP PREMISES.
Board of Health Urges Precaution-
ary Measures.

Mr.. w. D. Rhoad, member of the
Bamberg board of health, requests
The Herald to urge the people of the
city to enter into a cleanup cam
paign Immediately. After the exces-
sive rainfall of the past few weeks,
it is absolutely necessary that all
premises be cleaned of garbage,
weeds, etc., in order to insure the
continued good health Of the city.
Many cities are now waging a clean
up campaign as a result of the rains,
in order to prevent sickness. Many
diseases often follow in the wake of
heavy rains, and the best way, Mr..
Rhoad says, to fight off these mala-
dies is to keep premises absolutely
clean. He especially urges that all
owners of vacant lots attend to cut
ting down weeds and cleaning up the
lots at once Mr.. Rhoad also urges
the people to procure kerosene and
pour into all bitches and standing
water about the house or yard to
keep the mosquitoes down. No kero-
sene is available from the town at
present, Mr.. Rhoad said; as the board
of health had recently asked council
to provide 100 gallons, but was told
that the town could not afford to buy
any kerosene now, and recommend
ed the use of disinfectant, supply
of which the town has on hand, and
which, by the way, costs about 80
cents per gallon, Mr.. Rhoad says.

Automobile Stuck in Mud.

Mr.. D. F. Hooton, who, with Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Hooton, made the trip
some days ago to Glenn Springs by
automobile, had quite an adventure
on their return. BY the hardest kind
of work Mr.. Hooton managed to
drive his car as far as Laurens, but
he could go no farther. They left
the car there and came on by train.
Sunday Mr.. Hooton had an automo-
bile driver of Laurens drive his car
to Columbia, and Mr.. Ruby Beard,
of this city, brought the car on to
Bamberg. The car bore evidences
that it had truly been in the mud, as
it was mud colored from wheel to
top. Mr.. Hooton had to have a mule
to pull his car out of the mud sew
eral times, and had man with his
mule to follow on behind for several
miles, until it finally became too bad
for even a mule.

Olar, next Wednesday, by her sister,
Mrs. B. C. Crum, on Friday morn
ing, from 10:30 to 1870. The
guests were assembled in the front

Appropriate bridal selections, consist
ing of instrumental and vocal music,

carted in, on small wheelbarrow by
little Margaret Haden and Wiley

Manning and Wilson.

Cards bearing the double picture
of President Woodrow Wilson and
Governor Richard l. Manning are be-
ing distributed in Bamberg county.
"Our governor and our president" is
the title, and the following state
ment is made: Leaders in the
State and nation. They have made
good. They stand for reverence for
law, dignity of labor, education of
mankind. Real Democratic candi-
dates for reelection on their own
merits rather than the demerits of
their opponents. The picture on
the card was taken while the presi-
dent and the governor were review
ing the parade at the celebration of
the Mecklenburg declaration of in
dependence at Charlotte, N. c., some
months ago.

HEAT KILLS TWO AN HOUR.
Prostrations Numerous and Deeds of
Violence as Result of Heat.

Chicago, July 29.-Excessive heat
killed one person every thirty min
utes here today, according to reports
made to the police and the coroner's
Office. Heat prostrations were re-
ported by scores and many accidents
and deeds of violence were attribut-
ed to the high temperature. The
maximum reached 95 degrees.
Lake Michigan afforded the only
real relief, and It was estimated to-
night that hundreds of thousands of
persons had visited the various
beaches during the day. Early in
the afternoon several beaches ran
short of bathing suits.
At the Clarendon, the newest
municipal beach, one man was in
jured and about twenty were over
come by the heat when a crowd of
several hundred persons tried to
force their way through the doors
which had been closed because all
the bathing suits were in use. Twen-
ty policemen were required to quell
the disturbance.

Governor Manning Pleased.

In conversation with Herald rep
resentative last Thursday, Governor
Richard I. Manning expressed great
satisfaction upon the reception that
he has received all over the State.
The governor stated that he is much
gratifed, in his travels over the State,
to find that there is such large num-
Der of leading business men who are
lending him their unstinted support
for reelection. Many of these men,
said the governor, did not support
him two years ago in the first pri-
mary. The governor is much en-
couraged, and feels quite confident
of his reelection by large majority.
Governor Manning was especially
gratified at the splendid reception ac-
corded him in Bamberg.

The Herald Circulates Widely.

The fact that The Bamberg Herald
is greatly appreciated away from
home is attested by the fact that one
day this week we received four new
subscriptions from various parts of
the country. One came from San
Francisco, CAL, one from Kenans-
vile, N. c., one from Baltimore, Nd,
and one from Olar. The Herald is
the best county paper in these parts,
and the folks who used to live here
but now reside elsewhere tell us it
is Joy to read it. By the way, If
you have a relative or a very good
friend who is away from home you
could not confer a greater favor on
him or her than by sending The
Herald.

Denmark a Railroad Centre.

For some time after the trestles of
the various railroads were washed
away by the floods, the little city of
Denmark was flourishing place, and
put on the appearance of big city,
insofar as trains were concerned. For
several days the Southern, the Sea-
board and the Coast Line operated
all trains to the South via Denmark.
More than 100 passenger trains pass
ed that point over the three railway
systems daily until the trestles were
rebuilt or repaired sufficiently to al
low the trains to be routed their
usual way This record beats Flor
ence, where an average of 81 pas
senger trains pass daily. In addi-
ton to the three roads mentioned
operating their trains through Den
mark, several other roads used one
or the other of the tracks for South
ern trains. Practically all the
bridges and trestles have now been
repaired, and the trains are fast re-
suming their usual schedules and
routes.

GETTING BACK TO SCHEDULES.
Southern Resumes Trains to Green
vile and Spartanburg.

Columbia, July 26.-The Southern
railway will resume running of trains
on the Greenville and Spartanburg
division tomorrow, it was announced
tonight. 1t was the intention to run
No. 10 through from Spartanburg to-
night and regular schedules to both
Greenville and Spartanburg will be-
gin tomorrow.
The Southern railway will also
probably resume the schedules on the
-Kingyille- line to-
morrow.
The trains on the Spartanburg di-
vision will be operated as far as Mel
rose grade. It is thought that trains
will be running through from Colum-
bia to Asheville within four more
days.
Rivers Falling.
The Catawba, Wateree, Saluda,
Broad and Congaree rivers were fall
ing today, while the Santee was said
to be rising, the waters which for
the last few days caused the other
rivers to rise just now getting down
to the streams in the Southern part
of the State. However, the rise is
not expected to be great, and the
rivers will hardly be forced out of
their banks.
Columbia has been visited by fire.
quent showers of rain for the past
two days, and the farmers are con-
cerned over the strides which grass
is making. The recession of the wa
ters of the Congaree and Broad rivers
from the bottom lands left the crops
covered with mud, and the steady
rainfall since the river returned to
it's banks has prevented any work
towards salvaging the crops. 1t is
hoped that the rain will cease by to-
morrow at the latest, and with a
few days of the hot summer sun the
farmers can tackle the grass, which
is Just at present making great head
way towards overrunning the fields
of cotton and corn.
