Public Market Will
be Established Here

For several years the people Of
Bamberg have been, trying to devise
some plan by which the country peo-
pie can dispose of their produce. The
city council, along with the Book
club, are going to open up curb
market within the next week or two.
The idea is, the farmer can bring
his produce to town, say every Sat-
urday, and the housekeepers in town
will go to the designated place (Ihe
place yet to be decided upon) and
buy vegetables and eggs and chick
ems. In turn the farmer in exchange
will buy from the grocer his flour,
sugar, etc. In that was the farmer
will find ready sale for his produce,
and the people in Bamberg city will
be helped. 1t is hoped this plan will
be met with approval, and times
won't seem half as hard to any of us.
A suitable place will be fixed up with
in the next two weeks and the mar
ket will be opened by the first week
in September. The ladies in town
who have any produce to sell will be
at liberty to bring it to market too.
BY earnest cooperation by the people
of the town and country a better &C
uuaintance in every way will be rea-
lized and the exchange Of wares will
be beneficial to everybody. " y

6O-GaNon Copper
Still is Captured

One of the largest and most COM
plete liquor distilleries yet captured
in this section of the state was con-
fiscated last Friday, when raid was
made near the Edisto river. The still
was one of sixty-gallon capacity, and
was complete, it is said, in every de-
tail. The distillery was not the usual
homemade variety, but an A-No. l
affair. Along with the still 900 gal
Ions of ''mash" was destroyed. This
quantity of mash was sufficient, it is
said, to have made $50 gallons of
liquor. No whiskey was found on
the premises. This still was located
about half mile from the home OF
Charlie Robinson in the Edisto river
swamp.
A warrant was served on Charlie
Robinson, charging him with the
ownership and operation of the still.
Along with Mr.. Robinson, four ne
groes, Gus Jennings, John Rucker,
Calhoun Rowe, and Willie Gardner,
were arrested charged with being op-
orators. All were released on $500
bond for appearance in the state
court, and it is also understood that
this case will be carried to the United
States court.
Thursday afternoon, raid was
made on the farm of J. W. Price,
near the Edisto river, and small
homemade outfit was confscated,
along with about three quarts of al
legged homemade liquor. Mr.. Price
was arrested on charge of operating
this still, and was carried before the
United States commissioner in
Orangeburg Thursday afternoon. He
was released on $500 bond pending
a preliminary hearing.
These raids were conducted by two
state constables and one United
States revenue Office In raid some
two or three weeks ago, W. D. Blume
was arrested on a charge of viola
ton of the prohibition laws and was
placed under bond, along with Jonah
Cowart, Mr. Blume's clerk, and a ne
gro upon whom was found small
quantity of LIQUOR at the time.

Pri1nary Election
on Next Tuesday

The end of the county campaign
has arrived, and next in order is the
primary election. This big biennial
event will be held next Tuesday. The
notice of the primary election appears
in another column of The Herald, and
as it contains full details, we refer
our readers to that notice, which
should be read carefully. The Her.
aid especially urges the ladies to read
this notice so that they may familiar
ize themselves with the rules. This
will prevent much confusion sat the
polls. All of the club voting places
will be governed by the rules of the
Australian ballot system with the
exception of four small boxes. AS
this system varies much from the
usual election rules, it will be well
for all voters to study the rules be-
fore going to the polls next Tuesday.
A copy of the official ballot is
printed below for the information OF
the voters. The form of the ballot
differs with different clubs. For in
stance, Bamberg voters will vote a
ballot containing the candidates for
congress and all county officers and
the candidates for magistrate in Bam-
berg. All the clubs included in the
Bamberg magisterial district will
vote this same ballot while Denmark
voters, and other voters included in
the Denmark magisterial district,
will vote the same ballot, with the
exception that the !: strate at Den
mark will be voted for instead OF
Bamberg magistrate. The same thing
is also true of the voting for cotton
weigher. There is no cotton weigh
er candidate in Bamberg, and there
fore none will be voted for. All
other clubs in the county vary in the
same manner!
The ballot as published below is
a composite ballot for the entire
county, showing all the candidates
for all county Offices and congress.
A different ballot is provided for
state officers, and all these ballots
are the same all over the county,
and are deposited in. a separate box.
New voters should bear in mind
that the ballots should be folded,
after the voter has properly scratch
ed it, so as to leave only the number
on the coupon visible, and especial
care should be taken that the county
ballot is deposited in the county box
and the state ballot in the state box.
Under the Australian ballot system
all ballots deposited in the wrong
box are thrown out and not counted.
The Democratic primary election
is a great institution, and deserves
all of the thought and care that is
bestowed upon it.

This is to warn all those who have
not paid their taxes that the time

Executions being already written, we

There can be no late orders or back
dates attended to by me, the situation
being different this year to other
years, and all who do not pay before,
or by the 31st, will have to take
same up with the sheriff. I have here
tofore tried to favor those sending

News from Kearse.

Kearse, Aug. 22.-We are glad. to
see the sun shine again after a siege
Of, rainy weather. Farmers are some
what blue over the cotton prospect:
While the boil weevil has not dam
aged the crop so much as. in former
years, the bolls are rotting now in
the fields. Still we sthink that we
have much to be thankful for, for
we feel sure that conditions are not
so bad with us as with neighbors
across the Buford's bridge line. One
of our truthful CD farmers of that
section tells us that he can't even
rest at night after working hard all
day on account of mosquitoes and
rats, stating that the rats had run
all the cats off the place, and so anx-,
ious were the mosquitoes to chant
their lullabies till they bore through
the plastering of the walls. He also
states that his cabbage patch was
almost failure this year on account
of the rabbits invading it, not only
eating the juicy cabbage but por-
tions of his wire fence.

bank states, on information from all

incMding Bamberg, is credited with
an increase, while general decrease
of nearly 25 per cent. is predicted.
The following are the estimates for
~ tbic coofinn.

Fair Meeting For
Friday at 6 p: M.

AZ d MSSIluS VI d uumUGl VI C1Ll-
zens Monday afternoon interested in
the holding of a county fair in Bam-
berg this fall, it was decided to call
meeting of all the citizens of the
county interested in this matter. This
meeting is to be held at the court
house on Friday afternoon at 6
O'Clock.
A meeting of number of citizens
interested in this matter was held
some time ago, at which it was de-
cided to hold the fair along the same
lines as last year. This meeting was
enthusiastically in favor Of the fair,
and Mayor Thomas, who acted as
chairman last year, was authorized
to appoint a general working COM
mittee to make the necessary ar
rangements.
Since that time, however, condi-
tions have arisen which seriously in
terfere with the plans for holding the
fair. It has been found that it will
not be possible to use the tobacco
warehouse for this purpose this year.
Last year both warehouses were
used, and these buildings were donat-
ed free of charge, and Served very
nicely indeed for this purpose. Re-
Gently, however, as is generally
known, the Denbow warehouse has
been destroyed by fire, while the
Farmers warehouse has been taken
over by the Tobacco Growers Cooper
ative association. The association
will keep the warehouse open at least
until December 1st, and perhaps
longer, and this would put the dates
for a county fair, if held in this
warehouse, entirely too late in the
fall, as it would be at least three or
four weeks after getting possession
of the warehouse before it could be
properly arranged for fair.
The proposition now, as. viewed
by those at the committee meeting
Monday, is to raise little money
and put up some inexpensive build
ings. However, if anybody can offer
a better suggestion, it will be listen
ed to with interest and attention.
At any rate, it is earnestly urged
that everyone interested in the fair
attend this meeting It has been ar
ranged at such an hour that it will
provide nice ride for those out OF
town to attend in the cool of the
evening. The promoters of the fair
wish it distinctly understood that
the fair is to be county fair and
not a Bamberg fair. Unless the CO.
operation of the people Of the county
can be secured, any kind of a fair
will not be the success It should be.
Mayor Thomas will endeavor to
have some facts and figures ready to
present at the meeting, and final
disposition of the matter will be
made at this time. It would be most
unfortunate to allow the fair to die
aborning, especially after such a nice
start was made last year. But the
facts are as stated and it is now up
to the people to decide what they
wan: to do. If everybody will join
in, the burden will be so light that
no one will feel it in the slightest.
We can get together on other things.
Times are hard, it is true, but 1t
would be unfortunate to miss an op-
portunity such as now presents 1t
self. ,'> ,tr
The women especially are asked to
attend the meeting. Their assist
ance and cooperation is needed.
Remember the date and time, Fri
day, August 25th, at o'clock, at the
oonrt horse and he there

1t will be noted that while IN
creases are predicted in each of these
counties, except Calhoun, where the
same crop is estimated, practically
all of the Piedmont and Peedee coun-
ties show a tremendous decrease;
principally because of the more seri-
Gus weevil infestation than last year.
