Monday evening Ernest l.. Allen,

a visit to Bamberg lodge No. 81

interesting talk. After the lodge

The communication road tax in Bam-
berg county has been reduced by the
legislative delegation from s4.00 to
$500, and the special two mill road
tax has been reduced to one and one
half mills. The latter action was
taken because it is estimated that
the two-cent gasoline tax, a portion
of which comes to the county, will
supply the balance for the carrying
on of the county road construction
work.
In the advertisement of the play
at Ehrhardt in last weeks issue OF
The Herald, an error occurred. 1t
was stated that the part of Wilkes

have been Claude kirkland. Young
Mr.. kirkland played this part in a
most excellent manner, as did all the
other characters in the play, which

tive audience. The error in the
name was The Herald's.
