Carlisle School Notes.

On last Wednesday evening Mr.
Ralph Parlette appeared in the last
lyceum number of the season. Mr
Parlette was at his best and is sub
ject, Happiness" was indeed skill
fully handled. Such lecturers as Mr.
Parlette are always in demand and
Bamberg was truly fortunate in hav-
ing him included in her course this
year. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Par
lette can be with us again before very
long. The Young Ladies' Music club
rendered two vocal numbers before
the lecture. Their part in the pro-
gramme was greatly appreciated.
The audience gave them prolonged
applause.
Prof. Whitaker went to Orange
burg last Tuesday night on business.
Prof. Guilds spent the weekend
in Sumter, where he went on matters
pertaining to the school.

X. of P. Anniversary.

Monday, February 10Th, was the
anniversary of the founding of the
order of knights of Pythias, and was
generally observed throughout the
country. While no special pro-
gramme was arranged for the meet
ing of the Bamberg lodge Monday
evening, the anniversary was OBJ
served by conferring the rank OF
page, under special dispensation, up
on seven applicants. The following
were the applicants: Messrs. J. c.
Guilds, Paul Whitaker, Walter W.
Daniel, J. J. Heard, j. B. Black, Jr.,
John Schwarting, and Cecil E. Cor
bett. Two others, who have been
elected members of the lodge, but
who were not present to receive the
rank of page Monday night, are
Messrs. F. E. Dozier and D. A. Reid.
This is perhaps the largest class ever
received into the lodge at one time
since the lodge was organized.

DELIVERY SERVICE ORDERED.
Bamberg Will Have Mail Delivery on
April First.

Postmaster Knight was Informed
in a letter from the postoffice depart
ment Tuesday of the village delivery
service to be inaugurated here April
first. The necessary arrangements
are to be made previous to that time,
and the regular trips of the carrier
will be started on that date.
Mr.. Emile Price has been desig-
mated carrier. Bamberg is the third
town in this congressional district to
secure this service, Barnwell and
Blackville being the other towns.
The postmaster requests all per-
sons who desire their mail delivered
at their houses or places of business
to hand in their names at the post
office at once.
It will be necessary for all resi-
dences, where mail is to be deliver
ed, to provide suitable receptacles.
AS there is no regulation box requir-
ed for this purpose, any kind of box
will answer.

Sold Carload of Hogs.

Recently Messrs. J. K. and w. D.
Mayfeld sold a carload of hogs raised
on their plantation a few miles from
the city. The shipment was sold to
E. w. Evans & Co., produce and COM
mission merchants, Richmond, Va,
for s9S9.65-lacking just s10.35 of
being round thousand dollars. This
is probably the largest single ship
ment of hogs that has ever been
made from Bamberg county.
: It is understood that Messrs. May
field raised these hogs principally on
velvet beans, which are grown at a
small cost. The beans are planted in
corn rows, when the corn is laid by,
and are grown with but little further
attention. Where the fields are
fenced, the hogs are allowed to run
at large in the fields after the corn
is gathered, thus saving all expense
of gathering. If gathered, velvet
beans are found to be profitable
crop for the markets, but are usually
more profitable to raise hogs on.
The possibilities of the velvet
bean apparently are not realized by
the farmers. The velvet bean is said
to be one of the finest hog feeds
known.

Site for Public Building.

The Herald has been asked by sew
eral parties what has become of the
appropriation for a public building
for Bamberg. In this regard, We will
state that the item of $4,000 for a
site in Bamberg for postoffice build
ing, was inserted in the public build
ings bill by Congressman Byrnes, but
it is not likely that the public build
ings bill will be passed at this ses-
sion of congress. There are so many
other matters of grave Importance
before congress that it is not thought
that the public buildings bill will be
even considered at this time, so it is
practically certain that Bamberg will
receive no appropriation in the i'm
mediate future.

Death of Mrs. Nj. Y. MouzOn.

Blacksburg, Feb. 15.-On Friday
morning at the Hickory Grove Meth
odist parsonage, Mrs. Mamie Varna-
doe Mouzon, wife of the Rev. H. G.
Mouzon, died. Her body was brought
here the following day and inferred
in the new cemetery of the town.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church by the pastor,
the Rev. J. B. Traywick. The many
and appropriate floral offerings and
the large congregation, both from
Hickory Grove and Blacksburg,
which attended the services at the
church and the last sad rites at the
grave attested the high esteem in
which this excellent woman was held.
Mrs. Mouzon was native of Georgia
and was born January 25, 1857. She
was married on April 6, 1898 to the
Rev. H. C. Mouzon and although for
several years in feeble health she had
always taken an active interest in
her husbands ministerial work. The
two past years during his pastorate
here by her intelligence, genial dispo-
sition, patient faith and unwavering
devotion to her church and it's duties,
she was not only true helpmeet to
her husband, but also endeared her
self to those of our people with whom
she came in contact and her bereaved
husband has the heartfelt sympathy
of our entire community.

Preparing Credit Guide.

"Pay as you 60, or stop going.
That is the slogan recommended
now by the Merchants association
of the Chamber of Commerce, to the
people Of the city who have been in
the habit of running accounts. 1t is
not meant, of course, for those who
always pay promptly; it is meant for
| those who, either purposely or other
wise, become addicted to the habit OF
allowing their accounts to go over
from week to week, or month to
month. and finally lose all sense of
obligation to the man who has ex-
tended them favors in the form OF
credit.
The warning is sent out just at this
time because there is to be issued
shortly in Bamberg Credit Expert
ence guide, in which every
man or woman carrying credit will
be rated according to the manner in
which they meet credit obligations.
It is thought that such system will
eliminate much loss Jon the part OF
the merchants, and at the same time
will protect those who need and dc
serve credit by eliminating those
who will rot pay, thus maintaining
credit system in the city on a more
scientific basis.
The merchants interested in the
publication of this guide will send
out communications to their patrons
who carry accounts and are now
slightly behind. These patrons were
asked to pay as promptly as possible
in order that their rating may be
good. Now the Merchants associa-
ton issues a communication to citi-
zens of the city in which the gos-
pei of prompt pay is advertised. This
communication follows:
"The celebrated John Randolph
said he discovered the true philoso-
piers stone in the expressions, pay
as you co. and 'out of debt, out of
danger
LAS remedy for hard times, paste
the above in your hat, write it on
your cuff and commence each day by
reading it and then practice it by
paying your newspaper subscription,
grocery bills, doctors bill, druggist
bill, ct ais. They all have mouths to
feed, rent to pay, and little ones to
clothe. If you are unable to pay in
full, pay little; show disposition
to be honest and help the man who
helped you when you were in need.
Get in line by practice before the
merchants complete the plan of their
organization; when list of the bad
pays will be kept and it will then be
mo tickee, no shirtee.
