The Epworth League met Tues
day night as usual, in the Sunday
school room of the church. Missions
were discussed, Japan being the
main subject. Rev. T. G. Herbert
conducted the services, opened with
a song by the choir, then scripture
lesson and prayer. Miss Annie Lou
Byrd gave beautiful selection on
the violin, accompanied by Miss
frankie Folk at the organ.
DR.. V. w. Brabham made a short
talk on Japan Before the Dawn" "
Miss frankie Folk sang in her
soft, sweet way, "Glory to Thee, My
God, in the Highest" :.
Prof. J. G. Guilds spoke on the
Regeneration of Japan" Both talks
were very interesting and instruc-
tive. Mr.. Herbert complimented the
League on it's good work and special
improvement.

song by the League choir, and the
benediction.

Civic Association

Proud and fond as are all those
who claim Bamberg as their home, of
this little city, they cannot fail to see
that she has room for Improvement
in some respects, and chiefly in the
care of her streets. The municipal
powers have co-operated with the
Civic League in that they have ad-
dod unto their city ordinances still
other laws relating to the keeping in
order of her streets, especially Of
Bamberg street. One of these ordi-
nances requires each merchant to
sweep all trash from his front door
early each morning, so that the city
cart might remove it ere the traffic of
the day is begun. How much better
still would it be to sweep this refuse
from the back door and make bon
fire of the same! Another forbids
the throwing of peelings and refuse
of any kind on the streets. But OF
what good are city ordinances If they
are daily violated? Any citizen who
walked or drove through Bamberg
street last tSunday--or the day follow
ing-must have had their day dreams
of a neat, well-kept home city rudely
aroused. Old. pieces of boxes, ex-
celsior, papers blowing in all direc-
tions, orange peelings in great
masses, were a few of the sights
which met the eye in front OF some
of the best stores. Stores which take
a great pride in their interior, DO
they dream how much the disorder in
front of their door detracts from that
same neat interior? Surely not.
It is only through the awakening
of a. civic pride and feeling OF per-
sonal responsibility that we can ever
hope to feel a just pride in our little
city.
The Civic Association. will hold it's
regular monthly meeting next Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock in the
FITTING School chapel. Let every old
member be present, bringing with her
q new member.

cruise. He will have a furlough of
thirty days while the ships are in

The Herald Book Store received

papers, Office supplies, school sup
plies, etc., ever shown anywhere
around this town. We have the
prettiest line of fine box papers you
ever saw Come in and see what we

whether you buy or not.
Last Wednesday after we had
gone to press, the horse of Mrs. Cox
ran away on Railroad Avenue, be-
ing frightened by passenger train
which was running through town at
a high rate of speed. Mrs. Cox was
thrown out and painfully hurt, but
she is getting along nicely. The
buggy was broken up some.

and by your presence encourage your
children to do their best.

The news of the shooting of Mr.. j.
w. Reed by Mr.. w. N. Carter, over
near Norway, in Orangeburg county,
caused much interest in Bamberg,
where both men are well-known. Mr..
Carter is originally from this county,
and was in town right often, as was
also Mr.. Reed. The tragedy was a
fruitful source of conversation, and
it occasioned much surprise, as those
who know Mr.. Carter regard him as
a quiet, peaceable citizen.

Entertainments at Graded Schoo

Entertainment at Graded School.
The entertainment given at the
graded school building Monday even
ing of this week was largely attend
ed, Notwithstanding the very bad
evening, and was highly enjoyed by
the large number present. The first
part of the program was carried out
by the pupils of the school, and those
who trained them should feel proud
of the way they acquitted themselves.
The proceeds will be used to pur-
chase needed equipment for the
school, and we understand that about
ninety dollars was realized for this
purpose.
The purpose of the entertainment
was most praiseworthy and both
teachers and pupils are to be COM
mended for the work of preparing
the program. The play presented by
the young lady teachers and others
was also very much enjoyed.
Following is the program rem
dered:
Boston Tea Party-Third Grade.
Flag Drill-First and Second
Grades.
National Song Fourth, Fifth, and
Sixth Grades.
Patriotic Medley-High School.
Next came the play, 1.-TWO of a

Solicitor Byrnes' Good Work.

Aiken, Feb. 18.-The court just
closed was the first term for Sollcl-
tor James F. Byrnes, and the
amount of work he turned out
shows for him splendid record. The
court was in session only IL days,
and considerably more work was
done in these II days than IN any
previous session of any length In
many years. Thirty-nine cases were
disposed of as follows: Six cases mol
pressed on account of witnesses be-
ing beyond the State or insufficient
evidence; cases tried 33; mistrials
l. convictions 25; acquittals Z, or
about FL per cent. of acquittals. Mr.
Byrnes has won the complete conf
dence of the people by this good rec
ord.

DIR: &. p. Erwin Dead.

News was received aere Tuesday of
the death of Rev. c. P. Erwin, which
occurred in Philadelphia, where he
had gone for an operation. A letter

previously telling of his serious ill
ness and of his being taken to the

took place at Landrum, where he has
been living for several years past.
Mr.. Erwin lived in Bamberg for a

A Birthday Party.

There was quite a crowd of little
folks entertained Tuesday afternoon

thing to say on this subject, so for
bear at this time. Mrs. E. c. Cronk,
of Columbia, and an enthusiastic
worker in the home department., was
elected as superintendent OF the
State home department.. The paper
she read was by far the best paper OF
the kind heard at the convention:
DR.. Howard Lee Jones, OF the Clta-
del Square Baptist church, OF Charles
ton, delivered an admirable address
on Wednesday evening.
The fitting climax for the conven-
ton was Thursday night, when with
every available seat taken and stand
ing room was hard to obtain, Mr..
Marion Lawrence gave utterance to
his excellent address, What Shall
the Harvest Be-" With a personal
magnetism devoid of any touch or
even hint of egotism, the speaker
drew forth a series Of thoughts
which could not fail to interest. At
the close of his address numoer
stood for prayer and every pastor,
Sunday-school superintendent ana
teacher and church worker stooo,
pledging their word that they wished
for a better spiritual harvest uurlue
this year than ever before and that
they would work for chat end.
fhe further I go in this rambling
article the more I realize how I'M
possible it is to give anything like a
fair idea of what was done IN the
convention. But this much was un-
doubtedly true: Gods spirit was IN
and through it all and no man or Wo-
man could attend such a meeting and
go away without some good. l hope
when the time comes for our county
convention, which we are going to
hold this summer, that every church
will be represented and we can &C
over some of the plans which were
set forth at the convention.
A column could easily be written
on the home department alone. The
cradle roll could be dwelt upon at
great length. The Bible class is a
subject too broad to attempt here to
explain. The Sunday-school as an or
SANITATION is a great topic. But l
can't close without adding one word,

There will be a regular monthly

and it is in reference to the great
common spirit of every church.
Every denomination retained it's
unity, but all contributed to make
the glow of the convention fire burn
brighter and each came away with his
fagot burning with a brighter and
stronger flame than ever before.

Denver, March 23-Secretary Ar
thur F. Francis, of the TRANSIT Mis-
sissippi Commercial Congress, has
issued the official call for the Goth
annual session of that association, to
be held in Denver, August 16 to 81,
inclusive Added interest attaches
to this meeting from the fact that

take part in the proceedings. A
large attendance of representatives
of the Latin-American countries is
also expected, in the interest of
closer international relations be-
tween this country and the republics
of South and Central America and

Among the questions to be dis
cussed are: National defense, with
special reference to the needs of the
Pacific Coast and Hawaii; an ade
quate merchant marine and the need
of government aid in it's upbuilding
and maintenance, and conservation
of natural resources.

Dispatches from Washington City

unite with the Northwest and the
