Three High Schools for Bamberg.

Auditor Rowell, of Bamberg, who
is ex-officio superintendent of educa-
ton, was in the city today to put in
his claim for a portion of the high
school fund, as three high schools
have been voted in his county, one at
Bamberg, one at Denmark and an
other at Olar. In these three elec-
tons only one vote was cast against
the high school establishment and in
each instance two districts have join
ed in the election. The schools at
Bamberg and Denmark will this sea-
son add commercial course to their
curriculum, teaching stenography
and typewriting. Mr.. Rowell states
that there is now only one section of
the county which needs a high school
and that it is likely one will eventual
ly be established there. Columbia

VOTING CONTEST CLOSES.
Miss Blanche Garland and Mr.. n. N. Folk Win
Free Trip to Jamestown.

With grand rush and final strenu-
Gus day of it, the voting contest at
Moye's fount closed Saturday night.
The voting strength of each candidate
was fully tested, and those who worked
hard all the time for their favorite did
not give up the fight until the last min
ute. A total of nearly $4,000 was the
result of the contest. Just think of it.
Vote upon vote was piled up and when
the work was done, the time for shout
was due, for this unheard of contest
was closed with unheard of figures.
Miss Blanche Garland is the winner of
the free trip to Jamestown, and she de-
serves it, with over 5000 votes to her
credit. Mr.. H. N. Folk is the winner
of the trip to Jamestown among the
young men, he also received over 5000.
Miss Eula Rowell is the winner in this
the last month of the contest, she re-
ceiving a handsome box of candy, and
Mr.. H. N. Folk is the winner of the
candy among the young men.
Saturday night was scene OF ballots
equal to any campaign ever conducted
in Ramberg county. Vote getting was
seen on every hand, and drinking was
the order of the day and smoking also.
Ali in all, the contest has been very
successful affair, and Moye's fount will
lcng be remembered as setting the pace
in the matter of voting contests in BAN
berg. And it will probably be long
time before such another contest will
be witnessed here.
The votes in the final count were as

Mr.. H. A. Ray has gone to work or

sured of $500 from the town and $500
from the county, as well as subscrip-
tions from private parties, which
brings the total amount subscribed
up to about $1,000. Mr.. H. J. Brao-
ham had been at work for this mon
ument last year, and he had sub
scriptions of about 81 200, so now as
Mr.. Ray has increased this amount 20
nearly $4,000, it seems certain that
the monument will be erected. We
trust the matter will be pushed, so
that the shaft may be in place before
the first of January.
