Say, boys, don't forget old NJ. Moye:

Counts & Co.'S store.
Those who need Dowlaw cotton plant
ers, guano distributors, corn drills, or disc

The water works idea is being can
yassed by many of our people, and we
are glad to say that many OF our largest
taxpayers are in favor of the scheme.
The oil mill is running day and night,
on full time, and yet its product is being
moved as fast as it can be made. This
enterprise is certainly great thing for
Bamberg.
Don't send your money out of town
for afticles that can be bought at home.
Help the town and yourself by patroniz-
ing home merchants. You can see what
you are buying, and will save money in
the end.
Supervisor E. C. Bruce spent several
days in Columbia last week on business
for the county. He visited the Richland
county chain gang while away. in order
to see how they work the public roads
up there.
With fifteen conyicts from the State
and the county chain gang, Supervisor
Bruce will he able to do great deal OF
work on the roads, as he proposes TO de-

Bamberg's tax levy for this year has
been fixed at three mills for county pur-
poses, and the special levy of two mills
for roads in the Denmark school district
remains in force. Then we have the
constitutional school tax of three mills.
Let every man in town who favors
water works talk the subject to those
who are not posted Agitation is the
best thing for the project, for it can be
shown to the taxpayer where he will save
money if a water works system Is cstah-
lished.
