CHAUTAUQUA OPENS.
First Number Of Programme Given
Wednesday Afternoon.

The FIVE days programme of the
Redpath chautauqua was opened in
Bamberg yesterday "wednesday
afternoon at four o'clock, the first
number presented being grand con-
cert by the Artists Four Singers and
Players. An excellent attendance
marked the opening entertainment.
Wednesday evening the same enter
tainers gave concert, which was fol-
lowed by a lecture, "The War on
Hunger" by George L. McNut.
The big chautauqua tent is located
on Carlisle street, the same lot being
secured as was used for this purpose
last year.
1t is understood that these is ex-
cellent reason to believe that the ad-
vance sale of season tickets, supple
mented by the cash gate receipts, will
amply cover the cost of the five days
entertainment. The Apollo Music
club, under whose auspices the chau-
tauqua is presented in Bamberg, has
made a guarantee of about $3.50 to
the chautauqua people. The advance
sale of seats has been very satisfac-
tory, even though the conditions are
very unfavorable at this time.
The chautauqua is offering splen-
did programme Of entertainment dur
ing the next four days, including sew
eral lectures, concerts and other en-
tertainments. Saturday night the
play, Nothing But the TRUTH" will
be presented at he tent. This play
play is said to be one of the best
comedies on the road. and has been
highly praised wherever given. The
last night of the chautauqua, Manday,
will be the "joy night" Of the chau-
tauqua. On this last evening the
Swiss yodlers will give concert, fol-
lowed by cartoons and readings by
Evelyn Barge1t.
The talent is making Bamberg
this year under considerable difficult
ty. The dates on the programme
were changed to prevent a possible
local conflict, and in order to give
Bamberg different dating, it was
necessary to arrange for the talent
to come here from Thompson, Ga.
They leave that point on the night
preceding their appearance in Bam-
berg, reaching here at 5:15 a. N.
They leave Bamberg the next morn
ing for Williston.

CANDIDATES NOMINATED.
Six Candidates for Mayor and 1S for
Aldermen Named.

Pursuant to the call of D. J. Delk
and others in the last issue of The
Herald for a citizens meeting. at the
LaVictoire Theatre Tuesday after
noon, small number of men assem-
bled and named six candidates for
mayor, eighteen candidates for al
| dermen and three candidates for COM
missioners of public utilities.
D. j. Delk, who was instrumental
in calling the meeting, stated that it
was his idea not to nominate a single
ticket, but to pursue the good old
Democratic rule of letting everybody
run. The main trouble seems to have
been that none would voluntarily
offer for the offices.
In order that there may be wide
field to select from, six aldermen were
nominated for mayor and eighteen
for aldermen. 1t being felt that a bet
ter selection could not be had for
commissioners than the gentlemen
who are now holding the Office, they
were nominated.
E. H. Henderson was made chair
man of the meeting, and R. NJ. Hit
secretary. The following gentlemen
were nominated:
For mayor-L. P. Mcmillan, F. K.
Graham, D. J. Delk, LaVerne Thorn
as, w. D. Coleman, John Cooner.
For Aldermen-O. A. Simmons, W.
H. Chandler, W. D. Rhoad, Sr., H. D.
Free, E. L. Price, Jr., M. G. Cooner,
B. T. Fielder, DR.. H. ]. Stuckey,
w. M. Brabham, Jr., H. l..
Kearse, Clarence B. Free, DR.. F. B.
McCrackin, A. McB. Speaks, c. w.
Rentz, Jr.
Commissioners Of public utilities
| G.. Moye Dickinson, E. G. Hays, G. w.
Rentz, Sr.
Several of the citizens present
at the meeting have request
ed the secretary to add the name of
NJ. J. Black to the list of nominees
for aldermen, his name having been
| Inadvertently omitted.
The following were also nominated
for aldermen, but have declined to
accept the honor: J. D. Copeland, E.
A. Hooton, w. E. Free, B. D. Carter,
| G. R. Brabham, Jr., and l.. G. Smoak.
Mayor Smoak presented the meet
ing with telegram he had received
| in regard to state meeting to pro-
test against the increase in telephone
rates in the state, requesting that
delegates be named from Bamberg,
j. J. Smoak and LaVerne Thomas
were named to attend this meeting
| in Columbia.
There being no further business,
| the meeting was adjourned.

GREAT COMN1ONER AT OLAR.
William Jennings Bryan Addressed
Audience Saturday Night.

William Jennings Bryan, thrice nom
mated by the Democratic party for
president of the United States, and
former secretary of state in the cabi-
net Of President Wilson, addressed
an audience of Bamberg county pec-
pie at the Olar high school audito-
rum Saturday night last. Unfortu-
nately weather conditions were bad,
and this perhaps contributed largely
to the smallness of the audience. Per-
haps not more than $50 persons heard
the great commoner.
Mr.. Bryan had been secured by a
committee of Olar gentlemen for the
engagement Saturday night. Mr..
Bryan had been wintering in Florida,
and is on his way to his home in Ne
braska. The day before he spoke in
Savannah. 1t was quite an enter
prising venture for the citizens of
Olar to secure the great orator, whose
fame is known around the world, and
it was a matter of great regret that
conditions prevailed which prevented
packed house, as Mr.. Bryan is one
of the greatest orators in the world,
and has message which apepals for
the betterment of the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced, after a
prayer by the Rev. Peter Stokes, pre-
siding elder of the Orangeburg Metho-
dist conference, by R. Fair Goodwon,
cashier of the Bank of Olar. The
subject of Mr.. Bryan's address was
"Man's Relation to Government, So
ciety, and God"
The speaker made, as usual, no
attempt to produce laughter, but in
replying briefly to the introduction of
Mr.. Goodwin, Mr.. Bryan stated that
it was customary when he was intro
duced, to be spoken Of in terms of
greatness; a form, he said, he did
not sanction. The best introduction
he had ever had, said Mr.. Bryan, was
given when he was young lawyer
and was about to give an address,.
The chairman was an Irishman, and
Mr.. Bryan thought it would be a good
opportunity to get some good adver-
tising. He asked the chairman to
introduce him as William Jennings
Bryan, attorney at law. The Irish
man forgot the words and was coach
er in the phraseology several times,
but at the last moment the Irishman
again forgot, and introduced him say
ing, "Mr. O'Brien will now speak"
The address was one of Mr.. Bry-
ans celebrated lectures and was pre-
sented in the commoner's usual strik-
ing manner. Politics figured very
little in the lecture. Mr.. Bryan did
take occasion to say that the first
four years of Mr.. Wilson's presidency
was one Of the most progressive ad-
ministrations in the history Of Ameri-
ca. He also stated that had America
signed the peace treaty soon after
the signing Of the armistice the coun-
try would now be much nearer a nor
NAL condition than it is.
Mr.. Bryan remained in Olar Sat-
urday night. He was entertained at
the home of DR.. and Mrs. L. A. Hart
zog. A number of Bamberg gentle
men braved the stormy night to hear
Mr.. Bryan.

Ho, for the traffic constable! In the not far distant future he'll be a common fixture at country crossroads. With narrow roads and constantly in- creasing traffic over them congestion is already apparent in many sections. At several rural points in Ohio traffic officers are now on duty on Sundays and holidays. Motorists will be glad to see rural guardians of the peace en- gagged in directing traffic instead of planning speed traps.
 Running on under inflated tires Is a dangerous practice. Soft tires make steering difficult, consume more powe- and may more easily be pulled off the car than when not properly inflated. When car is travelling at a high speed and throws tire it Is extremely dangerous. Aside from the danger running on soft tires is needlessly ex- pensive. It quickly destroys the cot ton fabric of the tire and shortens its life.
 A removable track for rubber tired road vehicles is one of the newest de- velopments in the industry. Located between the front and rear regular wheels four additional wheels are pro- vided. All wheels run on two tracks consisting of two rubberized fabric belts With the tracks an automobile may be used in deep snow, bottom less" roads and plowed ground.

 There Is frequently danger of short circuits in the battery because of the fact that one of the terminals Is To- cated near the metal handle used for lifting the battery. To obviate this danger 1t is only necessary to slip a short length of rubber tubing over the wire at the point where the contact might be made. To do this Nthe tubing should be slit lengthwise, slipped over the wire and taped firmly in place.
