services were held at the chautauqua
tent. all the churches Of the town|par-
ticipating in the semi-open air SER
vice. Rev. o. B. Falls, of the Bap-
tist church, preached. One of the
chautauqua singers, a member Of the
Gretchen Cox company, rendered a
solo during the evening, and the pas
tor preached strong evangelist1c
sermon, in keeping with his usual
Sunday evening services at the 9ap-
tist church.
There was a large crowd present.
and much interest was evidenced in
the service. Owing to slight mis-
understanding, no arrangements had
been made for song books, and con-
gregational singing was omitted with
the exception Of one familiar song,
There is a Fountain Filled With
Blood" which was enthusiastically
sung by the audience. Rev. S. ..
Cantey, of the Methodist church, was
too unwell to be present at the SER
vice.

Candidates Announcing
For the County Offices

Announcement of candidates for
county offices are coming rather
slowly this year. This is partly due
to the fact that there are few Offices
to be filed Very little interest is
being taken in county politics so far.
For county commissioner, j. B.
Mccormack, R. H. Jolly and G. W.
Hunter are announced for the lower
district, while J. S. Tant, the incum-
bent, announces for reelection from
the upper district.
Ernest F. Free is announced as an
opponent of w. D. Rowell for coun-
ty auditor and superintendent of
education.
Congressman James F. Byrnes is
announced for reelection in this is
sue of The Herald. No opposition
has developed so far to Mr.. Byrnes.
Representative J. Carl Kearse an
nounces today for reelection to the
house, this being the only announce
ment to date. Bamberg will elect
only one member of the house this
year. Representative Riley has not
yet announced his intentions in re-
gard to offering for reelection.

Mrs Martha Johns
Passed edAwqyFndqy

In the death last Friday Of Mrs.
NJ. L. JOHNS, of this city, Bamberg
lost one of her best and most be-
loved women, and there has perhaps
been no death in recent years which
touched more hearts than the pass
ing away of this most est;mable char
acter.
Nine days previous to her death
Mrs. Johns was stricken with paraly
sis. and for several days before the
end came no hope was held out for
her recovery.
The remains were inferred Satur-
day afternoon at four o'clock at Rest
land cemetery in the presence of a
large concourse of relatives and
friends. The funeral services were
conducted, in the absence |of her
pastor, by Rev. J. R. Cullom, of Al
lendale, friend of the family for
many years. The pallbearers were
grandsons and husbands of grand
daughters of Mrs. Johns, as follows:
Wilson and Ralph Johns, F. w. Shea
ley, Ben Foreman, Will and Brown
Bradley, Council Dunbar, and Henry
Zeigler. The grave was covered with
a profusion of lovely flowers bearing
mute testimony to the love of many
friends and relatives.
Mrs. Martha Louise Johns was
born in 1851, being in her 1lst
year, the daughter of the late j. W..
and Senia Brown, of Colleton coun-
ty She was married SIS years ago
to Alfred Brown, who preceded her
to the grave by II years. For some
forty years Mrs. Johns has resided
in Bamberg or nearby. During much
of this time Mrs. Johns devoted her
energies and talent-and she was
talented in this manner-in con-
Quoting boarding houses in this city.
She loved this work, and there are
hundreds who sat at her table who
will carry with them tender mem
ories of this good woman as long as
life is with them.
Mrs. Johns was a member of the
First Baptist church Of Bamberg,
and was a devoted Christian charac-
ter. Cheerful and solicitous of those
about her, she was universally loved.
The following children survive
Mrs. Johns: W. I. Johns, of Allen
dale; J. P. Johns, of Baldock; Mrs.
W. B. Harrington, of Laurinburg'
n. c.; B. S. Johns, of Bamberg; Mrs.
l.. w. Bradley, of Allendale. Two
brothers and two sisters also sur
vive:B. S. Brown, of Beaufort; DR.. G.
w. Brown, of Lawtey, Fla; Mrs. 5.

Nucleus is ReceiUed
For Banberg Library

The shower that the Friday After
noon Book club gave last Thursday
afternoon was quite success. Be-
cause of the fact that many things
are going on in town the club did
not expect a big crowd; however Is
volumes of books were received, and
about SIS in money was contributed
to the establishment of public IL
brary. A small library has been start
ed and books can be donated at any
time.
Charles Carroll Simms, Of Barn
we'll, made splendid address on
this occasion, pleading for the ladies
to have clean books in the library
and have them all inspected by some
capable person who is a judge OF
what young people should read, and
accept only that kind.
The musical numbers by the Car
isle band and the violin solos oV
Prof. Pinault were very much en-
loved. Delicious punch and sand
wiches were served after the pro-
gramme, and every one felt that a
move had been started in Bamberg
that will mean much to the town and
community. 1t is hoped in the course
NJ q few years that library building
can be had, providing reading rooms
and a community building to afford
. place for popular gatherings.
