THEY ARE TRAVELLING
THE PARKER ROAD.

Alfred H. Parker, of the Sardis
community, was in town last Monday
and informed us that the people gen
orally, except the mail carrier, are
now travelling what is known as the
Eastern Sardis and Lexington road,
the attractions of which thoroughfare
were advertised in the Progress
some time ago. The road leaves the
other road, coming from Sardis, at
the Baptist church, 1lh miles from
that town and again merges into the
other road at the Greasy d Hopper
store 5ls miles this side of Sardis.
Alfred says it pays to advertise roads
or anything else good for the people
to use.

Fire Yerterdqy Morning

Early Wednesday morning, fire
completely destroyed tenant house
on the plantation of Mrs. W. P. Hern-
don, few miles west of Bamberg.
The house was occupied by Mary
Owens, colored woman, who cooks
for the family of Mr.. Jolly, a short
distance away. She had left the house
in the early morning for her duties,
and when she was some distance
away, she looked back and discov-
cred the house fire.
She had left her little child in the
house alone, and when she returned,
the fire had completely enveloped the
house, and the child could not be res
cued. Nothing but the bones were
left when the embers died down.
Magistrate Dickinson was notified,
but no inquest was held, as the cir
cumstances of the child's death ap-
peared to be plain. The Bamberg
fire alarm was sounded. but no as
sistance could be rendered.

ternoon last. In the cozy home tall
vases Of chrysanthemums were ev-
erywhere to be seen, displaying in
their arrangement the artistic taste

Judge Euans Opened
Court With Praye,

For perhaps the first time in the
history of Bamberg county, court was
opened here last week with prayer.
Attorney N. G.. Evans, of Edgetield,
who was commissioned by Governor
Wilson G. Harvey to hold this term
of court in Bamberg, announced
Tuesday morning, when court open
ed, that the sessions Of the court
would be begun by the invocation of
the blessings of the Heavenly Father,
and in keeping with this announce
ment, Rev S. O. Cantey was asked to
be present at the opening of court.
Judge Evans has been roundly
commended by many people for this
innovation, for an innovation it is in
view of the fact that it is so rarely
done.
Judge Evans stated that practically
every public meeting held for any
purpose is opened with prayer, but
when it comes to the sessions of the
courts. the most important of all
bodies for the good of the common
wealth, it is customary to proceed
without asking the aid and guidance
of God. 1t was pointed out by the
Judge that of all meetings at which
divine guidance is needed, the courts
stand at the top.

Good Results From Advertising.

Rentz & Fielder on Monday held
the second aluminium ware sale they
have put on this fall. Both sales
proved very successful. and in both
instances this firm used Herald publ
city entirely. The publicity of the
sale consisted of an advertisement in
The Herald and few handbills from
the advertisement. The store at the
opening of the sale on both occas-
ions appeared like the main entrance
of Barnum & Bailey's circus. Great
crowds awaited the opening of the
front door. Herald advertising pays.
Ask the man who uses it.

Carlisle Defeats
the Porter cam
Jews and Courier, Sunday.


Using straight football almost en-
tirely, the heavy eleven from the
Carlisle School. Of Bamberg, march
ed it's way to 81 ito 0 victory over
Porter's light, but game team, in
the annual game Of the two at
Hampton Park yesterday morning.
The Carlisle eleven, unusually
heavy for a prep school team, push
ed the Porter forwards to and from
and pierced the cadet line virtually
at will. It must be said for the
Porterites, however, that they fought
gamely to the end; but the terrific
driving power of the big backs of the
Methodists and their very heavy line
was more than the game little cadets
could withstand.
The Carlisle attack was not va
ried; it revealed nothing new. 1t
merely resorted to old and establish
ed tactics to advance the ball, but
this proved sufficient. The team, be-
sides it's ability to buck the line,
showed that it knew how to furnish
it's backs with good interference, and
as a result also gained consistently
around the ends, several runs of the
long and sensational variety being
made by Large, captain of the team
and a good broken-feld runner. His
running is reminiscent of high
stepping horse. He runs with his
knees very high and the cadets found
it hard to tackle him. Large runs
hard, and though his movements are
rather awkward, he is consistent
ground-gainer, and local followers Of
football on the lines yesterday praised
him.
Next to Large in successfully ad-
vancing the ball. came Folk, who
is big and who hits the line with
much power. Folk very seldom
failed to register a gain when called
upon. He also proved to be a good
defensive player. Thompson, the
smallest of the backfeld men, but not
a midget by any means, is also good
plunger and was very successful in
yesterdays game. Fairey, center;
Moorer, tackle, and Hogan, end, did
the bulk of the work in the line,
Moorer, especially, playing fine
brand of football.
Greene, captain and quarter back
of the Porter eleven, who weighs
only 1913 pounds, and Gonzales, guard
starred for the cadets. Greene gained
more ground than any other Porter
back, did all of his teams kickingand
passing and contributed some fine de-
fensive work. Gonzales back in the
game after having been out of sever
al recent contests on account of in
juries, was a tower of strength in the
line. He tackled hard and stopped
many of the Methodists' plays. Tom
Miller played well at end and Bell
cared for the center position nicely
Rollins was very much in the game
and did some good work.

MqyJfeld Recouers
For Damaged Seed

Court adjourned Tuesday morning
after being in session a little more
than one week. Court was convened
the previous Teusday morning, with
Special Judge \. G. Evans, of Edge
field, presiding. Last week was taken
up with the trial of jury civil cases.
The cour. recessed Friday night, hav-
ing completed all of the jury matters
for this session, and on Monday and
Tuesday morning, Judge Evans heard
equity rratters. No jury cases were
tried th1S week.
One of the most interesting cases
of the court last week was that OF
J. X. Mayfeld against the n. l.. Will
lett Seed company, of Augusta. This
case resulted from the alleged sale OF
damaged seed 10 Mr.. Mayfeld, who
asked for $4,000 damages. The court
held, however, that the seed company
was liable only for the amount paid
for the seed purchased, the amount
whereof was $3.50, and the jury
awarded this amount.
1t was alleged that Mr.. Mayfield
purchased $3.50 worth of Excel
watermelon seed from the seed COM
pany, and that on account of the seed
being damaged or other than claimed
for them, Mr.. Mayfelds watermelon
crop was a failure.
Other cases disposed of by jury
were as follows:
D. Landreth Seed company versus
the Mayfield company; verdict for
plaintiff for s213.45.
Beck & Gregg Hardware company
versus Mayfeld company; verdict for
plaintiff for s55S.23.

School Bonds Sold
For Good Premium

Bids for the sale of $4,000 school
bonds for Bamberg school district No.
II, were opened last week. The high
est bona fde bid submitted was ac-
cepted; the bonds going to the Han
chot Bond company, of Chicago. the
successful bidder offering par for the
bonds, plus a premium of 81, 50. to-
gether with all accrued interest. The
bidder also agreed to pay all costs
attached to the bond issue, such as
printing the bonds, payment Of at
torney's fees, etc. The bonds are is
sued at six per cent. interest, pay
able semi-annually, and the bond is
sue is so arranged that after one year
two bonds are retired annually.
Some seven or eight bids were sub
mitted, and a couple of bids were re-
ceived too late for consideration. One
of these offered slightly better than
the accepted bid, but could not have
been considered anyway, because OF
the failure of the bidder to accom-
pany the bid with certified check to
guarantee good faith. The bonds will
be dated December 1, 1922, and will
be delivered as soon thereafter as
they can be printed.
Thursday bids for awarding the
contract for the erection Of the high
school building were opened. All bids
were rejected, however, as the low
est bid submitted, on the plans al
ready secured by the trustees, was
for $4,000. The next lowest bid
was only a few dollars more than this
amount. In view of the fact that the
total bond issue does not exceed $780,
900, plus the premium on the bonds,
none of the bids could be considered.
The bond issue must cover the cost
of the building and the furnishing of
the same.
In order to complete the building
within the specified limit, the trus-
tees have found it necessary to alter
the present plans of the building,
probably reducing it in size, and
making other necessary eliminations.
1t was hoped to erect a building of
three stories, with twelve class
rooms and auditorium. 1t is likely
that the number of class rooms will
be reduced Present plans call for
the entire lower floor to be thrown
into an auditorium, with seating
capacity of 1900. The second and
third floors would contain class
rooms, but only the second floor
would be completed at this time, as
this will be sufficient for the present
needs of the high school. The re-
naming class rooms will be COM
pleted when needed.
The architect is now working over
the plans and making necessary re-
visions. 1t is hoped by slightly
changing the plans in certain par
ticulsrs no great change will be nee
essary in the size of the building.
As soon as the plans are revised,
bids will again be opened. 1t is ex-
pected that the contract for the
erection of the high school building
will be awarded within the next
uroaly frn
