Mr. Alex Barton suffered an ex-

day at the gin of the Farmers Gin
Company here in town. In some way
his right hand got caught in the gin
and three of the fingers were badly
cut, the flesh being literally taken off
of them to the bone on one side.
However, medical attention was
quickly obtained, and the injury will
not be permanent, as none of the
fingers had to be amputated. Mr..
Barton was working at the gin.
A Bamberg county student in one
of the State colleges recently sub
scribed to The Herald for the school
year. In sending his remittance for
the paper he says: II am receiving
your paper. and don't see how 1
could do without it, 1t is next to
being at home. All the Bamberg
county boys come around to read it.
If your boy is in college. you could
not do anything more pleasing to
him than sending him The Herald
for the school term, which costs only
one dollar.
