George J. HERS
Died Last Friday

Geo. J. HERS, for many years a
we'll known citizen of Ehrhardt and
that community, passed away at his
home near there last Friday after q
lingering illness, and was laid to rest
in the Ehrhardt cemetery Saturday
afternoon at o'clock.
He had been in failing health for
several years, and the end, though
sad, was not altogether unexpected.
Mr.. HERS was a progressive and
successful farmer. Though he had
never entered personally into politics
he had at times become an active
worker in political campaigns in be-
half of worthy candidates, and Mr..
HERS had friends throughout the
county who deeply deplore his
death.
He leaves four children, all grown,
two sons and two daughters, as fol-
lows: Haskell and John HERS, Mrs.
Nell Clayton and Mrs, Willie Hughes,
all of Ehrhardt.

Apollo Music Club.

The Apollo Music club held a most
DELIGHTFUL meeting despite the incle'
ment weather at the home. OF Mrs. j.
J. Heard on Friday afternoon, March
8 Mrs. E.. H. Henderson presided
in the absensce of the president, Mrs
B. D. Carter.
The programme for the afternoon
was dispensed with because of much
business to be discussed. A very sat-
isfactory report was given of the pre-
sentation of "Cinderella" in Den
mark. Plans are being made now to
give the opera in Blackville and Will
liston at the earliest possible date.
Due to the resignation of our vice
president, Mrs. Paul Whitaker, Mrs.
Laurie Smiak was elected to fill the
unexpired term.
Mesdames c. F. Gilchrist and H.
N. Folk were elected delegates to the
state convention of the national fed
Grafton of music clubs, which will be
held in Spartanburg March 13 and
IA.
The hostess, assisted by Mrs. Lau-
rie Smoak, served a delicious salad
course with coffee.

viii Resuscitate
Local Red Cross

At meeting of number OF
persons here Thursday afternoon, it
was decided to reorganize the local
chapter of the Red Cross, which had
been allowed to lapse on account of
no membership fees having been
paid for a year or two.
The meeting was held at the THE
len theatre, and Miss Dawson, a rep
resentative of the Red Cross head
quarters, Atlanta, was present to ex-
plain the proposition. The former
local chairman, NJ. G. Cooner, and the
Jno. H. Cope, were also present and
told of the work that has been going
on here for some time past, al
though there was no recognized Red
Cross chapter.
Miss Dawson explained that the
funds in the hands Of the local treas
urer, E. H. Henderson, would revert
to the general treasury unless the
chapter is revived. She explained
many useful ways in which this
money might be employed locally,
and urged that steps be taken to
keep the money in the local treasury.
After deciding to resuscitate the
Bamberg chapter, the election OF
officers resulted as follows: Chair
man, C. w. Rentz, Jr.; secretary and
treasurer, E. H. Henderson; chair
man social service department, Mrs.
John H. Cope.
There is a balance in the chapter
treasurer of approximately $1,000
remaining over from the fund raised
for Red Cross war work, the local
chapter retaining rs per cent. of all
collections made at that time. 1t is
expected that definite plans will be
made for a proper expenditure Of this
fund so as to give a maximum
amount of benefit to as many per-
sons throughout the section as pos
sible. The new chapter has started
out with a number of members,
those present enrolling themselves
on the spot, and a membership cam
paign will probably be put on at an
early date.

WORK PROGRESSING.
Edisto Causeway Under Construction
Bridge Work to Start.

l.. P. Mcmillan and E. w. Watson,
Bamberg gentlemen who have the
contract to construct the river swamp
causeway on the Orangeburg road
have the work of construction well
under way, and if the weather condi-
tions permit expect to complete the
work in next few weeks.
Work was started two or three
weeks ago. All of the grubbing has
been completed and the hauling of
earth was started some days ago. The
recent heavy rains have hindered the
work considerably, but satisfactory
progress has been made up to few
days ago.
Mr.. Shaw, representing Austin
Brothers, of Atlanta, who have the
contract for the erection of the Eds
to river bridge on the Orangeburg
road. arrived in the city last week.
Mr.. Shaw will be in charge OF the
work of building the mammoth con-
crete bridge. A shipment of materials
was expected in Bamberg this week,
and a construction house will be COM
pleted, it is expected, during the
present week. It is expected that the
actual work on the bridge construc-
ton will start, next Monday morning.
Two hundred working days from
January are allotted the contract
ors to complete the bridge. These
working days do not, of course, in
clude any days on which work can
not be carried on, and it will doubt
less be the first of the year before
the bridge will be open to travel.

HarrisOnCOnnOr.

Her many friends in Bamberg will
be interested in the announcement of
the marriage of Miss Estelle Fleming
Harrison to John Rutledge Connor,
which took place at the home of the
bride in Charleston Monday, March
9Th.
Miss Harrison is quite we'll known
in Bamberg. She is a trained nurse,
and in this capacity has spent many
months in this city, during which
time she has made numerous friends.
She is the daughter of Mrs. John D.
Harrison, of Charleston, and is a most
charming and attractive young wo-
man. Mr.. and Mrs. Connor will be
at home in Eutawville after April
18th.

Street Signs and
House Numbers

At a recent meeting of the Bam-
berg city council the contract was
awarded for the numbering of the
houses of the city and the placing of
proper street signs on street corners.
r. keenan,, of Augusta, Ca, was
awarded the contract for 1865, and
Mr.. keenan, was to have started the
work this week, but was probably
delayed on account of the incessant
rains.
Several years ago when the free
delivery of mail was instituted in
Bamberg, it was required by the post
office department that this work must
be undertaken. However, it was
realized at the time that conditions
would not permit the immediate car
rying out of this requirement. Upon
the assurance to the postofice de-
partment by the postmaster that the
council had agreed to do the work
as early as practicable, a resolution
to this effect having been passed, the
department instituted the city mail
delivery.
In order that the city can retain
city delivery it was necessary that
this work must be done. AS Mr..
Keenan's offer was an attractive one,
he was given the contract, and will
be paid by the council out of the
general treasury funds.
The contract requires the placing
of a house number on every resi-
dence and place of business in Bam-
berg. These numbers are on metal
plates, blue background and white
figures in bold relief. Street signs
of similar design are to be placed
on street corners all over town.
Heretofore it has been matter
of impossibility to direct stranger
to any particular residence or place
in Bamberg. About the only way
to designate any particular residence
is its proximity to John Does home,
the other side of the vacant lot, ct
cetera, all of which was not at all
enlightening to a stranger. AS Bam-
berg has grown to be real town,
such small town descriptions are be-
meath our dignity, and it will be
real pleasure to the residents to know
that we all may now know where we
are at"
The Herald offers the suggestion
that hereafter all business houses
have their street and business num-
Der printed on their stationery.

adopted at the special meeting of the

From early morning until along to-
