INCOME TAX RETURNS.
Deputy Collectors Will Be Here On
February 5, 6, and Z.

Deputy Collectors Allison and
Jones, of the internal revenue de-
partment, will be in Bamberg on
Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Feb. 5,
6, and 7, for the purpose of assisting
the people of the community in max
ing out their income tax returns. 1t
will be we'll for those who have to
make income tax returns this year
to meet these gentlemen on the dates
mentioned. During the return Pc
riod of 1918 and 1919 there was
great rush and some confusion IN
making income tax returns, and If
those who expect to secure help in
making out their returns will meet
the deputy collectors this week it
will probably save them consider
able trouble. In order that all as
sistance may be given with great ex-
petition, income taxpayers are re-
uuested to have their figures itemized
completely.

LIT. COL LANG ASSIGNED HERE.
Officer of High Rank to Be Comman-
dant at Carlisle School.

Official orders have been received
from the adjutant generals office de-
failing Lieutenant Colonel Frank R.
Lang as professor of military science
and tactics at Carlisle school. The
school authorities FEEL that Carlisle
is fortunate in having man of Col
onel Lang's rank and experience de-
tailed here. He comes with splen-
did record in the army, and person
al endorsement of those with whom
he has been associated.
Colonel Lang was born in Maine in
1874. He served in the Spanish
American war in an outfit from his
native state, and later was commits
stoned in the regular army. He was
first commissioned in the infantry
branch of the service where he serv-
ed until 1909, when he was promoted
and assigned to the judge adjutant
general department.. A short while
after this he was retired on account
of wounds received in battle, and
when this country entered into the
world war he was recalled to active
service. Since the establishment of
the R. O. T. C. he has been assist
ant district inspector of the fifth r.
O. T. C. district, With headquarters
at Nashville, Tenn. His work at dis
trict headquarters makes him thor
oughly familiar with all phases of R.
o. T. G, work, and will prove to be
very valuable experience to him in his
work here.
In a personal letter to Colonel
Guilds, Colonel Lang sad that they
were closing up affairs at the dis
trict headquarters, and the work
would probably be through by Feb.
/. He and his family, Mrs. Lang
and daughter, will move to Bam-
berg in the near future.

Anxious to Pay Debt.

If Diogenes should be be in this
country today looking for an honest
man, he would certainly stop at the
house of a certain negro in Norfolk,
Va, according to Mr.. H. ". Beard,
who has just received letter from
the man above referred to. In the
letter the colored man states that
he feels quite sure he owes Mr.. Beard
some money; that he has written to
him twice before, but failed to get
any reply. He stated that he was
very anxious to pay the money; and
only waited to hear from Mr.. Beard
as to the proper amount. The ex-
ercise. of such perseverance on the
part of man these days in order
to pay a debt is so unusual that Mr.
Beard thinks it is entitled to men
tion in The Herald, and we quite
agree with him. The colored man
formerly lived here.

Clemson College News.

Clemson College, Jan. 31.-The
death of James R. Carpenter has
caused a pail over the entire campus
which time alone can remove. Car
penter was a member of the Fresh
man class and very promising stu
dent in every respect. He was boy
of strong personality-to know him
was to like him. He had proven him
self to be kindhearted, manful, and in
every was "good fellow His body
was taken to Hartsville, S. c., where
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Car
penter, and a host of friends mourn
his death. An escort of cadets &C
companied the body to it's home. A
memorial exercise was held in the
college chapel. This untimely death
will be deeply mourned and his loss
profoundly felt by all who knew him.
Clemson was we'll represented at
the Great Student Volunteer Confer
ence held in Des Moines, Iowa, dur
ing the first week in January. Five
delegates represented Clemson in
what was without a doubt the great
est religious gathering ever brought
together since the beginning Of time.
The fall term has been marked
success. The academic work has been
very satisfactory. Out of the eight
hundred and eight cadets, two hun
dred and seventy-six, or about thirty
per cent. were placed on the honor
roll.
The Clemson post of the American
Legion at recent meeting decided to
hold monthly meetings hereafter and
these will be held on the first Monday.
Addresses will be made by prominent
visiting speakers. The authorities OF
the college will entertain the post at
a banquet on February 7th.
The college Glee Club minstrel en-.
tertained the cadets and faculty with
numerous songs and jokes. The songs
were the latest ones, and were put
over in great style. Clemson has put
out one of the best Glee Clubs in the
State for many years and this year
will not be an exception.
Class foot ball is now in full swing.
At present the Freshman team is in
the lead but it is doubtful as to which
will win in the final. Emmanuel, an
old Carlisle star, proves to be one of
the main dependents of the Fresh
man team. J. NJ. K.

NEGRO is FLEECED.
Robbed of $2s5 BY Negro Confidence
Man Saturday.

An old but sure method of rob-
bing the 'uninitiated' has been the
confidence game, and while most peo-
pie have become suspicious of those
picking up pocket books in their pres
ence or trying to sell gold bricks,
there are those who still fall for these
tricks of slick thieves. A Bamberg
negro was on last Saturday feeced
out of s2S5 by the old gag of picking
up a pocketbook that ostensibly con-
tanned large sum of money.
This colored man, who is one of
the most substantial negro citizens
of this section, drove his team to the
rear Of the H. G. Folk company to
hitch. He saw a strange negro hang
ing around there, who entered into
conversation with him. In a few
minutes a second strange negro came
up, and when he was near them he
was seen to pick up something from
the ground. This attracted the at
tention of the local negro, and he
saw on examination that it was a
pocket book When it was opened
he says he saw what appeared to be
hundred dollar bill and several one
dollar bills. The man Immediately
proposed to divide the money between
them, although the local man says
he told the other negro he did not
want any of the money. However he
seems to have been "persuaded' to
take it, and the man told him he
wanted to see a white man on Main
street first and would be back iH a
few minutes to divide. On returning
he said that instead of there being a
hundred dollar bill in the wallet there
was a thousand dollar bill, and that
the white man told him it was "army
money" and that it would not do to
try to change the bill here, and that
he would have to go to some place
else to change it. He told the Bam-
berg negro he would have to put up
some money in order to get his share
of the big bill, whereupon the local
colored man went to the bank and
drew out every cent he had, S285,
and gave it to the man, who prom
ised to be back in town and meet
him at the postoffice at seven o'clock
that evening. Of course they did not
return, and it is understood they
were seen to walk to Midway or En-
bree and take the train.
1t is stated that practically the
same fraud was worked on two other
Bamberg colored men lately, one los
ing $3.50 and the other s400. Moth
ing has been heard Of either Of the
parties since they boarded the train.

TAKES BUSINESS FLIGHT.
First Commercial Use Made of Air
plane by Engineer Here.

The first use made in Bamberg OF
an airplane for commercial purposes
was resorted to last Saturday, when
Mr.. E. L. Filby, State sanitary engi-
neer, took a flight over 3amberg for
the purpose of making some sketches
of engineering work in connection
with the malaria control campaign.
The use of the airplane in engineer
ing work has been made in other
cities with quite a good deal of sue
cess, and while he had the opportunl-
ty, Mr.. Filby accepted the kind offer
of the aviator here to take him for a
flight in order to make some
sketches last Saturday. Those who
have been associated in the malaria
control work know the difficulties en-
countered in making surveys for the
work. It is necessary to penetrate
swamps that are almost impene-
trable in order to map out routes for
bitches. In an airplane, Mr.. Fllby
says it is very easy to accomplish
this same end, and it is done in a
very much more comfortable and
satisfactory manner, to say onthing
of the time saved. He is very en-
thusiastic over his first business air
plane flight.
The malaria control work is pro-
crossing very satisfactory, except
that more hands are needed. Three
dollars per day is being paid for Ia
borers, and there is room for many
more workmen.
Mr.. Filby has associated with him
in the supervision of this work Mr..
C. E. Buck, engineer for the Rookie
feller foundation. Both of these
young men came to Bamberg a week
or ten days ago. Captain Fisher,
Rho has a general supervision over
the work here and in several other
cities, spends a portion of his time
here only.
The big drain into Lemon swamp
has been completed for a distance OF
about one mile. There is yet some
work to be done on the Lemon swamp
end of the drain, and this will be
taken up later. The work is now be-
ing carried on near the cemetery.
The building Of this drain is an
engineering feat of considerable i'm
portance, and in some places the dig
ging of the drain has been done under
a good deal of difficulty, but perfect
drainage has already been provided
for a large area.
