serted his name in the paper last
week as candidate for alderman;
but says that he has already been
to the mill, and is not going again.
Which means, we take it. that he IS
not offering his services to the city
at the present time.
The Carlisle school band left Mon
day morning on tour of several
days, during which concerts were CIV
en- at Holly Hill, St. George and Ello-
rec. Sixteen band members, includ-

DR.. E. w. Skies, president of Coker
college, Hartsville, was visitor in
the city Sunday. Sunday morning he
addressed the Baptist mems Bible

vice.

The Bamberg friends of Hammond
Bamberg, of Charleston, learned this
week with much regret of his serious
illness at his home. Mr.. Bamberg,
who is the son of Capt. w. S. Bam-
berg, of Bamberg, is suffering with
a serious case of pneumonia, and for
several days very little hope was held
out for his recovery. His brother,
Col. G. E. Bamberg, has been spend
ing sevral days at his bedside. The
last adyices from the sick room indi
Gated that Mr.. Bamberg is somewhat
improved.
The "cash and carry" idea became
infectious in Bamberg week or two
ago, when some out-of-town parties
decided to cast their lot in town. A
store was rented and the grocery
was opened up. In about a weeks
time, the store was closed for lack of
patronage, presumably. 1t might be
remarked, parenthetically, that the
store did not carry line of advertis-
ing while trying to do business here.
The Herald does not say this caused
the stores failure. Our readers may
draw their own conclusions.
The friends of N. P. Smoak regret
ted last week to learn that he had
been stricken with acute appendicitis.
The attack came on him Thursday,
and Friday morning he was rushed to
a Charleston hospital for an opera
ton. Mr.. Smoak's condition grew
considerably worse while on the way
to the hospital, and it was found nee
essary to operate Immediately upon
arrival in Charleston. His condition
is believed to be somewhat improved,
and his friends sincerely hope that an
early recovery will result from the
operation.
That whitewash can be used for a
more worthy purpose than covering
investigations is exemplifed in the
use of lime in Bamberg at
this time In several parts of town
whitewash and brush have been in
evidence. Carlisle school is the latest
addition to the list The school is
having all the trees painted white,
and it is astonishing to note the i'm
proved, clean appearance. All Of the
trees of the school property are being
thus treated to a coating of white. If
every property owner would do the
same, the town would have much
neater appearance
