Company
off on Encan1pment

The Bamberg military company,
officially known as the medical de-
tachment, one hundred and eigh-
teenth infantry, 30th division, left
Sunday morning over the Southern
railway for Columbia, where the COM
pany joined some 1900 other nation
al guardsmen, to go into training for
two weeks. The company left in a
special passenger car at 9:02 a. m.
Sunday, reaching Columbia about
noon. The company carried the re-
quired number of men, and was join
ed in Columbia by Capt. A. S. Week
ley, NJ. D., commander of the medical
detachment, who went through to
the capital city in an automobile.
The guardsmen will remain in
training at Camp Jackson, near Co.
lumbia, until July 30th, when the To-
cal company will return to Bamberg.
The boys left in high spirits with the
expectation of enjoying fine outing
while at Camp Jackson.
The remainder of Sunday was
spent in getting accustomed to the
new surroundings, while Monday was
occupied with preparations for the
encampment Actual training was
started on Tuesday, when the nation
al guard commenced target practice
on the range. Range practice also
included firing by the howitzer COM
pany which carried along it's 155s
ready for action, and machine gun
practice by the machine gun COM
panies.
The local boys were not exactly ac-
uuainted with what duties they were
to perform at Camp Jackson. Being
medical corps, they had an idea
that the hard work Of the encamp-
ment would probably escape them.
They hoped so at least. Col. T. e.
Marchant, of Columbia, is command
er of the one hundred and eighteenth
infantry. More than twenty units
are in attendance upon the annual
encampment. AS the Bamberg COM
pany was only recently organized,
with DR.. Weekley commanding, this
is the first encampment to be attend
ed by the local boys, although this
little touch of army life is nothing
new to some of them, who saw SER
vice during the world war.

board of control is not having the
third story of the dormitory complet-
ed at this time. The inside wood
work will be completed at later

will be needed for the coming session,
in which case the entire work will
be completed.

to the block Of stores occupied by A.
Rice, Rentz & Fielder and LeVerne
Thomas is about completed. In ad-
dition to the work on the front, the
entire interiors of the three stores

three of the most attractive places of
business in town now. The entrances
to Thomas's and Rice's stores are

ing, while Rentz & Felder's place is

County Gets Share
Some Extra Funds

Bamberg county treasury received
quite a nice little lift during the past
few days by receiving funds from the
gasoline tax and from the state game
warden, the two special funds net
ting the county nearly $500.
Over s10S,O0O was distributed
among the counties of the state from
the gasoline tax, the tax for the past
three months amounting to double
that amohnt, the state treasury re-
tanning half and the counties getting
the remaining half of these funds.
Under the law this entire fund is
to be used exclusively in road work.
The state game warden distributed
a little more than $4,000 to the
county treasurers, and under the law
these funds are to be used for school
purposes. Following are the amounts
received by neighboring counties:

Wire Carries Bolt;
Two Cows Killed

]. A. Griffith, who was in the city
for his usual visit Saturday, told The
Herald of an interesting, as we'll as
disastrous, happening near his home
the other day during an electric
storm. Mr.. Griffith saw the effects
of the stroke of lightning and vouch-
es for the correctness of the story.
Raysor Antley, who lives across
the Edisto river some distance from
Cannon's bridge, had two fine milk
COWS killed by lightning, and the kill
ing occurred in quite peculiar man
ner. The COWS were in the pasture,
which is enclosed with barbed wire.
AS is frequently the rule in wired
pastures, the wire was nailed to some
of the trees which happened to be on
the line of the fence.
The two COWS were eating grass
on the outside of the pasture, putting
their heads through the wire to ac-
complish the feat. Lightning struck
piEe tree to which the wire was
attached, and the wire acted as
conductor for the electricity, and
both COWS were killed on the spot.
Mr.. Griffith says the COWS were
one to two hundred yards dis
tant from the tree, which was splint-
cred by the bolt, and every indica-
ton pointed to COWS being killed in
the manner above stated.

Newberry, July 15.-Watson Lu-
ther and Miss Louise HaltiWanger
drove to Little Mountain Sunday and
were married at the parsonage by
the Rev. John J. Long. After the
ceremony they drove to Newberry
and informed their friends of what
they had done. From here they left
Sunday night for Columbia, where
Mr.. Luther is one of the pitchers OF
the Columbia South Atlantic base ball
team.
Miss Haltiwanger is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Haltiwanger,
and is very popular young woman

though he is we'll known in Newberry,
having been the mainstay of the
Newberry base ball team for the past
several years.

No Applicants for One Office.

The last day for filing pledges for
county offices passed without single
candidate filing a pledge for the Of
fee of cotton weigher at Bamberg. 1t
is rumored that the boil weevil sat
watch at the court house and scared
away all corners for this office, which
used to be much sought for. In the
palmy days of much cotton several
thousand bales were weighed by the
official weigher in Bamberg, and the
Office was quite a lucrative one for
several months in the fall and winter.
However, the cotton weigher now en-
joys a long vacation since the advent
of the weevil.
The Office is really an appointlVe
one; the good old Democratic prin-
ciple of letting the people choose is
merely a courtesy. Of course, the
delegation always appoints the sue
cessful candidate. In this instance,
the present cotton weigher, Garland
smoak, holds his office until Novem-
ber. and will, therefore, weigh the
bulk of this years crop anyway. 1t
will then be up to the county delega-
tion to recommend the appointment
of his successor.

Former Carlisle Boy Weds.

sThe following announcing the we'd
ding of Watson Luther will be read

ther laurels in athletics. 1t will be
recalled that he declined an offer
from the manager of one of the big
league teams while at Newberry in

Campaign Opened
at FareN's Fndau

Inc Llme IOr IllluS pleuSeS dS Call
didates for county offices has closed,
and the first meeting of the county
campaign has been held. The execu-
tive committee has fixed number of
meeting to be held during the next
few weeks at various points in the
county, the first being held at Far
rell's the others to be held each Fri
day one week apart until the county
is covered.
Among the last to file his pledge
was Representative w. L. Riley, of
Denmark, for the house Of represen-
tatives. Mr.. Riley signed up just a
short while before the list was de-
clared officially closed.

sented in the general assembly by
Senator J. B. Black, NJ. D., who does
not have to run this year, and Rep
resentatives ]. Carl Kearse and Mr..
Riley. Mr.. Kearse announced his
candidacy several weeks ago. The
trouble is that due to the fates Bam-
berg county can only elect one repre-
sentative this year, inasmuch as the
recent census failed to give BamIberg
county quite enough population to
hold two representatives. Mr..
Kearse and Mr.. Riley will make the
race, there being no other aspfrants.
G.. Victor Kearse, of Olar, was
late entrant for county supervisor, in
opposition to the incumbent, w. B.
Smoak, and J. C. Copeland, was last
day entrant for magistrate at Ehr-
hardt.

we'll attended, and came off in fine
style. The candidates were given a
splendid hearing, and the event was
quite pleasant. Nothing\ out Of the
usual developed at the first meeting.

day night by son of his uncle, Julius
Henderson, the shot taking effect
in his legs. The elder Henderson
heard the dogs barking on his prem
ises and seeing some one whom he
thought was a thief or burglar, the
boy fired. He says that he had no
idea at the time that the party was
his nephew. The boy appears to
have been aimlessly wandering about
with no thoughts of evil doing.
Terrific rains have fallen in some
sections of the county during the
past several days, one of the hard
est downpours of recent years falling
in Bamberg Saturday. The rain is
said to have been even heavier be-
tween here and Orangeburg. At the
same time, it is notable that in the
Ehrhardt section up to Monday after
noon there had been no excess OF
rain; in fact some gentlemen from
Ehrhardt said Monday it was rather
dusty down there; that the seasons
so far has been fine and that the croI
prospects were splendid.
