HEALTH BOARD COMPLAINS.
Citizens Are Hindering Health Work
in Some Instances.

The following statement is made by
the local Board of Health. The Her
aid gladly gives space to this COM
plant and appeal, and feels sure it
will only be necessary to call atten-
tion to the practices complained of,
and that when brought to their at
tention, the citizens will render to the
men who have pledged their efforts
and money that Bamberg's health
may be improved, a better spirit of
cooperation from the people of the
town:
efforts are being made for the
Improvement Of health and sanitary
condition of our city. Our health
officer makes weekly reports to the
board of health, and recommended
tiOns are made with respect to re-
moval of hogs from the corporate linn
it's, moving closets from ditch banks,
destroying breeding places of mos
quitoes-by filling up old wells and
keeping all receptacles of water which

over, and cooperate with the board of
health in the maintenance of work
of the health and drainage district as
begun last year by the International
Health board. We notice in some
places bitches are being completely
filled up and fences built in the ditch
es. Again, a road has been made
across the ditch by filling up the
ditch, and where bitches are near
dwellings quantities Of tin cans, bot
ties, and all kinds Of trash are thrown
in the ditch. All this is discouraging
to the fifteen citizens who have bor-
rowed $4,000, and are paying inter-
est on same, in order that this i'm
portant work be carried on, and such
carelessness and deliberate hinder
ances compel the health board to use
the law.

JAIL IN BAD SHAPE.
Sheriff Calls Attention to Lack of
Security at Prison.

Sheriff Ray states that the condi-
tion of the county jail is such that it
is well-nigh impossible to prevent jail
deliveries. The recent escape ofPres-
ton Evans, and Walton, a white man,
causes the sheriff to renew his re-
suest that steps be taken to equip
the county jail properly so that es-
capes may not be easily accomplish
ed.
The sheriff says that the bars to the
windows are nothing but ordinary
iron, very small at that, and that
any two strong men working toge-
ther can pry them open sufficiently
to escape. He says the bars should
be made of steel that cannot be bent.
Several jail deliveries have been ef-
fected in recent years because of this
condition.
The sheriff hopes that arrange
ments will be made for the proper
improvements at the jail in order that
criminals might not be able to so cas-
lily effect their escape.

A GREATER CARLISLE.
Education Movement of Methodist
Church Means Much.

The value of an institution of
learning in community can hardly
be estimated. Whenever one is pro-
posed many towns Immediately bid
for it and vie with each other in their
efforts to secure it's location.
Chester recently pledged to the
Baptist denomination one hundred
thousand dollars for a preparatory
school.
Bamberg is fortunate in having
Carlisle school located here, and has
watched with pride its growth from
a small institution with few scholars
to one of the largest and best prepa-
ratory schools in the south.
Col. J. G.. Guilds, under whose ad-
ministration the school has develop
ed to it's present standing, had the
vision and planned for more than a
preparatory school, and the present
management is carrying forward the
same progressive idea. Another class
was added and today the institution
is practically doing Junior college
work
The education movement now on
in the Methodist church will mean
much both to Carlisle school and
Bamberg. The amount allotted to
Carlisle is one hundred and five
thousand dollars When the allot-
ments were being considered the ad-
ministration, in view of the advanced
work being done, endeavored to have
the amount made larger but could
not as each preparatory school in the
church was placed on the same ba-
sis. The money that will come to
Carlisle will be used to liquidate the
present Indebtedness and add to the
equipment. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars is needed to place
the school in a position to thorough
ly do the work demanded. The pres
ent pressing of the school is another
modern dormitory, infrmary, and au-
ditorium, together with a central
heating plant. These will be erected
as soon as sufficient funds are avail
able.
1t is the hope of many that the time
is not far distant when Bamberg will
be real college city. How soon this
will be depends on the loyal coopera-
ton of her citizens in an enterprise
that means much to the moral, intel
lectual and financial welfare of the
community.

WORK AT POWER HOUSE.
Bic Engine Being Overhauled.-Re-
duced Service Temporarily.

Because of the fact that ne large
engine at the city power house is be-
ing overhauled and put into Hrst-class
condition, the commissioner cf orb-
lie utilities of Bamoers have issued
a circular to the people requesting
their cooperation Cor tho next lwo or
three weeks, during which time the
work is being douc, in order tina,
constant electric service may be Civ
en-
Monday morning machlnlst from
the Lombard Iron Works, of Angus
ia, which has the contract for the
work, came to Bamberg to begin the
work of working over the large unit.
1t was at lrst thought the entire work
could be done here, and that it would
not take more than a week. How
ever, it has been found necessary to
send the engine to Augusta, as certain
needed work could not be done here,
and this has somewhat upset the pre-
vious plans for furnishing the town
with current temporarily.
While the large unit is out of COM
mission, the commissioners are hav-
ing to rely entirely on the small unit
to supply light and power to the
town. The small unit is not capable
of carrying the full load at it's peak,
and for this reason the people are
urgently asked to use light as sparing-
ly as possible until the large engine
is back on the job again. This con-
servation may be accomplished very
easily by all householders using only
one light in the house at time, and
power consumers may help by run
ming their machinery just as little as
possible during this period.
The commissioners are arranging
to give the town better service. The
power house equipment is badly in
need OF repairs, and 1t is conndently
believed that when the contemplated
improvements are made the power
house will be in position to furnish
ample service to the entire city.
Supt. Tobin has re-arranged his
wiring so that the small engine at
the power house is furnishing far
better service than heretofore, and
with the cooperation of the citizens of
the town, barring a breakdown, the
town will continue to have service,
though limited. Mr.. Tobin has al
ready proven himself to be an elec-
trician who is capable of producing
results, and the commissioners are to
be congratulated upon securing his
services at time when an expert is
required

Fairfax ?, Ehrhardt 4.

Ehrhardt won a fast and snappy
game on her home grounds from the
Fairfax ball team by a score of to g.
Keel, the Fairfax receiver, was hurt
in the first inning, making change
in pitcher necessary. Kearse, the
Ehrhardt hurler, received air tight
support except in the sixth when
errors filled the bases, but he tight
ened up and pulled out. The spec
tacular playing of Morningstar on
second and a long running catch,
which looked like sure hit, by Hern-
don in left, were the features. Pur-
cell, for Ehrhardt, got two hits out
of four times up, thus maintaining
his percentage of 500 for the season.

COULDN'T COME ACROSS.
Sila Green, of New Orleans, Fails to
Bring Forth Stipend.

Silas Green, of New Orleans-ever
hear of him?-was scheduled in the
usual bill poster way to appear in
Bamberg with his mighty aggregation
of minstrelsy last Monday. Silas
came in duly with carlod of gingers
and noisy horns, but the show failed
to materialize for the good and sufi-
cient reason that he failed to produce
the material substance required as
city and county license.
After the aggregation reached the
town, the manager called at the court
house to ascertain the amount of the
county license required to show. He
was told the law provided no license
at all for shows of his variety, that
the law did allow lyceum attractions,
chautauquas, and circuses to give per-
formances here for stated amounts,
and inasmuch as the outfit did not
resemble either a chautauQua or ly-
ceum attraction, the only thing left
in the category was a circus If he
cared to consider his show circus,
he could pay circus license of S100
day and go ahead. Likewise the
town clerk slipped the information
that the town would have to collect
SIS day for showing; total, s125.
This caused some reflection, and
the crowd gave Bamberg up as bad
proposition and beat it out of town,
and probably the town will live to
get over it.
The Florida BLOSSOMS" (not Or
ange) was here a few days before
and succeeded in raising the "spon."

NO TIDINGS FROM EVANS.
Escaped Murderer is Still at Large.
Several Clues Followed.

Up to the time Of going to press
Wednesday there had been no It'd
ings from Preston Evans, the self
confessed murderer of Tobe Williams,
who escaped from the Bamberg coun-
ty jail Tuesday night of last week.
A number of clues have been fol-
lowed, and the officers are continu-
ing their vigilance, bit up to this
time nothing definite has been heard
OF Evans since he was met in the road
between Bamberg and Edisto river a
short time after his escape
Saturday Sheriff Ray received word
that a suspected character had been
arrested in Columb bia, who answered
the description given of Evans. Sun
day the sheriff went to Columbia to
see the suspected negro, but found
that he was not his man.
The local authorities were also ad-
vised of the arrest Of suspects at
Kingstree and Cheraw. Full descrip-
tions were wired to both places, with
the request that the men be held
until it is certain whether either of
them is the man wanted in Bam-
berg.
Sheriff Ray announced last week
that a reward of $50 will be paid for
the apprehension of Evans.
Walton, the white man who escap-
ed at the same time from the Jail,
likewise has not been heard of since.
Walton presumably came from Au-
gusta, where it is said that he has a
family. He was in jail on the charge
of car breaking at Denmark.

INSTALLING SEWERAGE.
G. 0. Simmons Gets Contract for I'M
proyements at Court House.

G. O. Simmons Gets Contract for I'M
provements at Court House.
A few days ago G. o. Simmons was
awarded the contract for the install
lation of sewerage in the county
court house and the county jail. Work
was started at once, and is now near
ing completion in the court house.
The contract involves an expendi-
ture of 1885 for Mr.. Simmons's part
of the work. The excavation for the
septic tanks is being done by the
county labor and is not included in
the contract.
It is stated that this sum is about
$500 less than the lowest bid for the
same work last year. Closets are be-
ing installed in the court house, and
closets will be installed in the jail
both upstairs and down stairs, to-
gether with bathing facilities at the
jail. These improvements have been
needed for many years at the county
institution, and the officials are graft
fed that they will soon be completed.
