Crops in this section are improving

But it will not be built unless those
whom it will benefit will take stock.

played, and Bamberg won by score

Rev. Peter Stokes hit some of these
selfish people in Bamberg a hard blow

pensary.
Last Wednesday Mr.. ]. D. Cope
land, Jr., lost railway ticket on
Main street. 1t was from Bamberg
to Tryon, N. c., made out in his
name, and nobody else can use it.
Reward will be paid if returned to

We heard the other day of an old
negro woman in town who raised a
lot of chickens in a peculiar manner.
She put the eggs in a box down by
the fire and kept them until they
hatched and then raised the chickens
around the fire. This beats hens and
incubators.
The Bamberg boys went down to
Branchville Monday afternoon to play
a game of base ball. Branchville
won by score of 10 8. Our boys
expect to have some good games
here soon, as some of the young men
have gotten together and Mr.. +. M.
Moye has been made manager.
j. H. Ralstin and his missionary
band of workers left town Monday.
They were to go to Columbia from

version, and four were baptized at
the river last Sunday. Two or more
of their converts left town with them.
MIR. R. w. D. Rowell, county audi
tor and superintendent of education,
spent last Friday in Columbia. He
went up to sign his settlement sheet
with the comptroller general and to
look after the high school matter.
His settlement sheet shows balance
on hand of county funds of $4,000.
Misses Carrie and Laura Bamberg
desire to extend thanks to the many
friends who assisted in saving their
furniture last Sunday. To the peo-
ple of the town, the mill hands, and
the colored people, and in fact to all
who worked so hard in the intense
heat to save their effects, they are
truly grateful.
Buford's Bridge school district in
this county. will soon hold an election
on the question of establishing a high
school in that district. Bamberg is
the banner county so far in the mat
ter of holding these elections. This
is only reasonable and to be expected,
for we have fine country schools and
our people are awake on educational
matters.
Mr.. C. w. Hughes, the 3O0-pound-
er of the Ehrhardt section, and the
largest man in this section, was in
town last Friday, that very hot day,
and yet he did not seem to be mind
ing the excessive heat any more than
we little fellows who only weigh
about 100 pounds. Mr.. Hughes
weighs over 800 pounds, is something
over 6 feet tall, and wears No. II
