Rally Day Sunday.

The workers of Trinity Methodist
Sunday-school will hold a big rally
day this coming Sunday. In the
afternoon the regular Sunday
school hour will be devoted to car
rying out carefully selected and
we'll prepared program. The school
will be largely represented In the ex-
ercises. That is to say that the ex-
ercises will not be given by only a
few of the pupils, but large number
will take part in them.
The general purpose at this time ts
to rally the forces of the school and
have all of them come together again
after the summer time and band
themselves together with renewed de-
termination and energy. Especially
are the efforts being made looking to-
ward building up the Bible class
which has held up 80 well during the
summer. It is no longer the truth
that the Sabbath-school Is place
for the children alone, but it is now
a recognized fact that the older folks
have q place in the school and the
old idea of sending the children to
Sunday-school" has been displaced by
the broader and more intelligent
view of Lets go with the children
to their school on Sundays"
It is hoped that everyone will take
advantage of the general invitation
and be present next Sunday after
noon at O'Clock. Cards will be
found convenient whereon your name
may be written if you desire to join
the school.

The Civic League.

The first monthly meeting of this
winters series of sessions of the Civic
League of Ramberg was held IN the
ladies rest room on the last Thurs
day afternoon in September.
Quite number were present, and
interest In the work, which has
seemed to lag during the summer
months, has again been revived
among the members.
After the regular business was
over, members were invited to make
suggestions as to the needed improve
ments and decisions as to where the
first work had best be done. Many
comments were made upon the dusty,
unkept appearance of waiting room
at depot. It seems that man is kept
here whose duty it Is, among other
things, to attend to this room. 1t
was decided that the president should
request the agent to see that this man
did not neglect his duty but should
give the waiting-room a thorough
sweeping and busting each morning,
airing the room each day and keep
ing the sashes clean.
A petition was then made by the
lady teachers Of the graded school
that an unoccupied room in the school
building should be fitted up by the
Civic League to be used by them In
the care of pupils who are taken Ill
during school hours. A committee
consisting Of Mrs. Moye Dickinson
and Mrs. G.. R. Brabham, Jr., was ap-
pointed to fit up the room, and sew
eral contributions, consisting OF a
feather pillow, cases for pillow,
sheets, etc., were made by the ladies
present. ..
The advisabillity. of having some
form of entertainment for the rails
ing of funds was then dicussed.. A
committee was appointed to formu-
late plans for a carnival or fall fest1-
val. This carnival would mean a
great deal to Bamberg in an advert1s-
ing way, drawing big crowd for the
day, and so benef1tting the merchants
as we'll as furnishing the means by
which the League hopes to make
Bamberg cleaner, healthier, and
more beautiful town. But without
the cooperation of the business men
it is impossible for ladies alone to
successfully prepare for a carnival.
1t is also impossible for a few
ladies to do this, but with the entire
town working together, most mag
nifcent and successful carnival can
be the result. A wise man once said:
There are three kinds OF people In
the world: the wills, the won'ts, the
can'ts. The first accomplish every
thing; the second oppose everything;
the third fail in everything" To
which class do we members belong?

G.. r. Brabhafn'S Sons
Methodist Church to Have Paid Choir

At meeting of the board OF
stewards of st. Pauls Methodist
church, an important step was taken
looking towards having paid choir
at that church. The move Is an I'M
portant one, and it is expected that
as soon as arrangements can be made
that singers will be engaged, and that
the singing at this church will be
something out of the ordinary.
According to the action OF the
stewards, Mr.. o. K. Wilson has been
given entire charge of the choir, and
he will have charge Of employing the
singers who will furnish the music.
The money for the singing will be
turned over to Mr.. Wilson and ne
will have complete charge.
It is probable that Mr.. Wilson Will
employ a quartette for the choir, and
these together with the organist will
furnish music at all Of the church
services.
The paid choir will not be inaugu-
rated at once, however, but will be
started at the opening Of the confer
ence year.-Orangeburg Evening

The Cotton Market.

Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-
day "wednesday at thirteen cents
the pound. The receipts of the past
week were one thousand bales and
upwards, and the receipts here for
the season are about seven thousand
bales. Some farmers have about fin
ished gathering, while others have
part of their crop still in the field.
The weather this fall has been very
dry, and no bad cotton has come to
this market.

Central College for Women has
just completed what is consider
ed the most universally satisfac.
tory year in its history. Under
the able management of Pres
ident George Miles Gibson it has
advanced in its work and in
creased in attendance. One of
the most noteworthy features of
the past school year has been
the good feeling among faculty
members and between faculty
and students. The young ladies
were put largely on their honor
and given far more freedom than
ever before This proved re-
markedly satisfactory for both
teachers and pupils. The former
on account of the lessening of
their disciplinary duties were
able to give more attention to in
structing and the latter showed
themselves worthy of the conf
dence placed in them. During
the year there we're few breaches
of discipline and great harmony
prevailed at the college.
The raising of the course of
study of the institution has in
creased the attendance rather
than diminished it, as some had
feared, and it has made the
STUDENT body on the whole more
mature.
Next year, it is announced, the
course will be raised still higher
so that Central College for
Women will rank scholastically
with the best universities and
colleges Of the country. AS Dr.
Palmore stated at the final ex-
ercises, it is the ambition of the
Southern Methodists to make
Centr college for Women stand
in theA lme relation to the young
ladies of the South that Van.
derbilt university bears to the
young men.
The calendar Of commence
ment exercises this year began
on last Saturday and continued
until Tuesday noon. The exer-
cises were more extensive than
usual and thoroughly in keeping
with the advancement of the
institution. A large number of
guests from out of town, includ
ing former students and friends
and relatives of the members of
the graduating class and Meth
odist minister's, was in atten-
dance.
CLASS Day.
Saturday was class day and
she seniors held their exercises
on the campus. They planted
the ivy and made a bonfire Of
their books with due ceremony.
Miss Mary CHM read an inter
esting history Of the class; Miss
Blanche Blackburn amused the
audience with the prophecy;
Miss Dingle Rucker read
a delightful class poem. The
last win and testament of the
senioss was presented in proper
form by Miss Marie Youngs and
Miss Ivy Shelton made the re-
sponse for the juniors.
