SHORT LOCALS.'

Brief Items of Interest Throughout |the Town and County.

A good rain fell Tuesday in Bam-"berg and vicinity, the first in about

three weeks.

The friends of Mr. Charlie Mitchellare glad to see him in the ticketoffice after several days' illness.

The board of county commissionersheld the regular monthly meetingMonday. Only routine matters were

transacted.Large congregations will no doubt

attend the church services next Sunday,as it is Easter and people will

want to show their new clothes.

Good progress is being made on

the Bamberg-Denmark road. SupervisorBruce says the road will be

completed in about three months.

Monday was the first Monday in

the month, but there were no publicsales and few people from the countrycame to town. They are too busynow to visit much.

Messrs. J. A. Hunter, G. D. Ryanand A. M. Denbow, of Bamberg,motored over to Barnwell Thursdayand attended the barbecue at

Hagood's mill in honor of JudgeSease..Barnwell People.A commission has been issued by

the secretary of State to the Home

Building and Loan association, of

Bamberg, with a capital stock ofnafitinnora hoin? Dr.

, V,VUU, IIIC M mw.Q

George F. Hair and Mr. W. Des,Portes Coleman.

Rev. W. R. McMillan assistedin the dedication of the new Baptistchurch at Hilda on Sunday. Inhis absence, Rev. Mr, Bozeman,traveling representative of the BaptistCourier, preached at the*Baptistchurch, morning and evening.

Mr. W. D. Rhoad says the races

are certainly mixed up badly in Cuba,and it is a pretty hard matter to

tell who is really white. He also

says there is considerable socialequality among the races, that he

saw all colors at a masquerade ball,all dancing together.

;C -, The new county board of registrationmet at the court house Mondayof this week, this being their first

meeting. The board organized andelected Geo. J. Hiers chairman. Themembersof the board are: Geo. J.wi^re "Rhrhardt: Geo. Turner. DenMark; J. G. Rhoad, Fishpond.The rails of the Bamberg-Ehrhardtrailroad are laid to a point

just outside of town, and the whistleof the locomotive can be plainlyheard. There is some work to

be done on the Lemon swamp trestle,and this will cause some delay.Otherwise the rails would be laid to

town this week.T

We learn that Mr. H. W. McMillan,the new depot agent, will occupythe residence of Capt. W. R. Wright,on Bridge street. Capt. Wright'sfamily will move either to Savannahor Augusta. At present Mrs. Wrightand daughter are spending a whilein the country with her daughter,Mrs. B. F. Hill.

Supervisor Bruce tells us that hestarted w<-rk last Friday on the new

road from Bamberg to Denmark.Work was started on the Denmarkend. He proposes to make this thewidest and best road in the county,and it should be, as it is the most

important highway we have. Thework is being done with the countychain gang.

If you don't believe that advertisingpays, ask any patron of The Herald.Two weeks ago Mr. H. M.Graham advertised that he was startinga new series of the StandardBuilding & Loan Association, andhe showed us letters from a numberof out-of-town parties stating theyhad seen the advertisement andwanted some shares. He says theadvertisement paid him handsomely.

Advertising in The Herald certainlypays, &s our advertising patronagehas increased very much over

what it formerly was. In fact we

are growing a little all the time, forwhich we thank our customers andfor which we try to give them fullvalue for their money. Our circulationcontinues to grow steadily. Wehave added more new subscribersthis year so rar man ever ueiore

except when we were running a contest.Some Fish Story.

As a disciple of the mighty Ximrod,Mr. Roy Kearse, of Ehrhardt,has entrenched himself behind a

most enviable record. A few dayssince he drew forth a bag net withthe following variety of water dwellers:One alligator, three "cooters,"one cat fish, one trout, one "sucker,"and four perch. If there is one in

Bamberg county who can beat thisfor a single catch, we would like to

know it.

Glendale Spring.

This spring, on the plantation ofCol. Jno. F. Folk, is getting to be

a most popular resort for people intown. A number of people go outthere every day to get the water,and it is no unusual sight to see threeor four automobiles at the spring at

one c. Numbers of people bringthr water home with them, some of' jem drinking no other water. Allwho have tasted the water are charmedwith it. It is certainly a fine waver,and the analysis shows t to have

considerable medical propertieswhich are beneficial to anybody.

The flow of the spring has increasedvery much recently, owing toimDrovements which Col. Folk has

made. The flow now is somethinglike seventy gallons a minute, a

four inch iron pipe has been putdown to the rock and the flow of waterfills this pipe, it flowing out at

the top and falling over like a fountaininto the cement basin. The waterhas also broken out in nearbyplaces, and Col. Folk will soon havea much larger basin put in and tryto control the flow. It is his ideathat the spring is really located a

short distance from where it springsout, and that the water is now comingout through fissures in the rock.He will endeavor to locate the exact

spot where the spring really comes

from.There is no question but that the

spring is susceptible to development,and it may be piped to town or a

regular resort be made of the place.It is certainly beautifully situatedfor development.

Married" in Spartanburg.

The following clipping from theSpartanburg Herald will be of interestto the many friends of the bride,as she with her parents formerly livedat Denmark, this county:A marriage which came as a delightfulsurprise to friends, not only

Cement Horse Trough.On his Glendale plantation a fewdaysago Col. Jno. F. Folk showed

us a new departure for this country.He had recently put in a well curb ofbrick and a cement horse trough.He had made a most excellent troughof large size for the small amount of^$3.20, and it will last a life time.One of lumber would have cost nearlyor quite as much and it would havebeen rotten in a few years. He hadthe mould of the trough made from

cheap lumber and into the mold was

poured the cement and sand after itwas mixed. When the mixture hardenedthe mold was removed. Thisis a movement that could be followedwith profit by many-of our largefarmers, especially as lumber is gettinghigher and the quality poorerall the time.
