What the Carlisle Fitting School
Does for Bamberg.

Itwas not a misplaced investment when
the people of Bamberg put their money
into this institution. When Bamberg
lacked a good preparatory school, the
Fitting School supplied that need and
many of our young business men, ana
nearly all of our college graduates obtain
ed their preparatory training here. 1t is
today fitting school for our boys and
girls either for business or for college
work. 1t has brought to our people
DIVIDENDS in life and character OF our
sons and daughters.
Financially it has paid and is paying
larger dividends to our town than any
other enterprise in proportion to money
invested. There has been invested above
eighteen thousand dollars in land and
buildings. There comes into the channels
of trade to our merchants sum not less
than eight thousand dollars. Does the
cotton factory pay as well in proportion
to capital invested?
1t brings into our community young
life with its buoyant spirit and enthusiasm
from the country districts. Our chnrch-
es, our people feel the inspiration of the
presence of her students. We are glad
the institution is here and our town awaits
with interest the return of the Fitting
School boys and girls in September.

Fitting School Notes.

A most urgent need of this institution
at present is, as we see it, an infirmary.
Two hundred and fifty dollars would
build such a one as the present needs re-
quire. Will not the friends and citizens
generally respond and contribute funds
Sufficient to supply this need? 1t will De
good investment from a business point
of view. We make the suggestion.
Looking over the catalogue OF students,
we find the great majority of then from
other counties. Sumter, Darlington,
Florence, Georgetown, Richland, Collie
ton, Lexington, Berkeley, Orangeburg,
Bamberg, Barnwell, Dorchester all send
students, but we find very few students
from our town. 1t seems to us that III the
Senior and Post-Senior classes ought to
be found more of our young men and
young women There are opportunities
and advantages at the Carlisle Fitting
School not had elsewhere. The literary
societies, fine library, a full faculty to 90
the work required, association with young
people from abroad-these advantages
belong in part to US.

Horse Race.

The trotting race between Nellie, the
black mare belonging to Jones Bros, of
this city, and bay mare owned by G. B.
Kittrell, of Orangeburg, took place yester-
dav on the track near town. The race
was for a purse of 5000, and three heats Of
one mile each, the winning horse to win
two out of the three.
The race came off about ten o'clock in
the morning, and was attended by large
crowd, many people from Orangeburg
county and from this county being pres
ent. The judges were Col. Jno. F. Folk
and Mr.. W. S. Miley, of this place, and
Mr. W. NJ Hughes, of Cope.
Nellie won the first heat easily by
several ngths, the time being 2.4O for
the mile.
After an intermission of a half hour the
second heat took place and again the
black mare came in ahead, the time being
2.39. This ended the race, as she had won
the two heats. The driver of Mr.. Kittrell:
horse whipped his animal while she was
running, but no foul was claimed by the
Messrs. Jones, as their mare won the race
Mr.. w. P. Jones drove Nellie, and Mr.
Pepdarvis drove Mr.. Kittrells mare.

work in his chosen profession.
Prof Boyd has returned to his Spartan
burg home to enjoy a needed rest with
his home folks, and to gather inspiration
from association with college men for

students. He is admirably fitted for this
work.
Miss Pet Stephens, the popular and ef-
ficient lady assistant, is enjoying her rest
in her Colleton home. Miss Pet is uni

BASE BALL.

Our neighbOring town of Danes sent
down on last Friday an aggregation OF
rooters along with their base ball team
determined to put Bamberg out of busi-
ness as far as playing base ball was con-
cerned. At quarter past five the game
was started at the ball park IN tins city.
1t was clearly seen from the beginning
that Denmark was not "in it, at all with
the home team Special features were
CONSPICUOUS only on account OF their
absence The game was not fast but
rather slow one For Bamberg Brab-
ham G. caught good game, allowing a
very few stolen bases. Moye played his
usual good first, covering the first bag
with only one error and that hard one.
For Denmark Faust did the best batting,
placing two second base hits safely out IN
the left garden. Osteen, Steadman A. and
Blume played the game for Denmark.
The visitors succeeded in pushing three
men across the rubber during the Irst
four innings of the game, after which they
never scored.
Score by innings:
Bamberg 0 ) 2 y U 0-l0
Denmark 1911 5000 o. 3

Mrs. Herbert'y Visit.

Mrs E. S. Herbert, of Orangeburg, vice
president of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society and Wonan's Home Mis-
sion Society and State organizer of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Workers,
came to Bamberg Saturday and remained
here until Tuesday evening. While Mrs.
Herbert is very earnest, enthusiastic
missionary worker, the object of her visit
work being done by the Christian Tenn
perance Workers. On Sunday afternoon
at o'clock at the Methodist church she
made an address on temperance to the
Sunday-school and visitors who came
especially to hear her on this important
subject. She is very earnest and fluent
speaker, and entertained, interested and
instructed the children and older ones
with pointed and appro lriate stories, sett-
ing forth the evil effects of strong drink
and showing plainly the responsibility of
parents, in teaching and by example, to-
ward the great temperance question.
Surely her earnest and beautiful words
will not be forgotten.
On Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock she
met with the ladies and children, as an
nounced on Sunday, at the Methodist
church for the purpose of organizing.
The result Of the meeting was the organic
alton Of society of Christian Temper
ance Workers among the ladies and a
Band of Hope for the children numbering
about q, with Misses Fannie Warn and
Gedelle Brabham managers. This is an
undenominational work, and it is hoped
that all the ladies and children interested
in the cause of temperance will join,
thereby com bining their influence against
the horrible effects of strong drink.
Tuesday evening at o'clock she met
with the ladies in joint meeting of the
w. F. NJ. and w. H. NJ. Societies, heard
their reports and gave them an encourag
ing talk. The flourishing condition of
both these societies was very gratifying
to her. She left on the evening train for
Denmark, where she goes on like mis-
sion.
1t was a pleasure to have had this
Christian worker in our midst and to have
had the pleasure and profit Of her interest
ing and instructive talks.

improvements on the Campus.

The trustees of Wofford College have
recently purchased the Eaves property
adjoining the Fitting School campus, ad-
ding two and one-fourth acres to this
valuable property. Upon the corner lot
will be built neat and commodious re-
sidence for the Head Master and his
family. This arrangement will be all ad-
mirable one, affording him easy access to
and supervision over both boarding de-
partments. Two cottages will be built
on the same plot of land facing on Car
Isle street; these will be offered for rent.
The friends of the institution, with help
from the town council, have arranged to
construct flowing we'll at the junction
of Elm and Carlisle streets. This will be
quite an acquisition to the institution as
we'll as a great convenience to the public.
We are glad to see this public spirit dis
played by our citizens. 1t will be money
well spent, adding to the attractiYeness
of our town and conducting to the gener-
al health of our people. Let it be we'll
known that our community is as healthful
as apr .ther community, and let the ed
ucational advantages afforded by our
schools be we'll advertised, families from
other sections will move into Bamberg to
educate their children, our business will
increase and our town will grow.
