Suggestions
for 1909 Spring Season

Next to the problem of sleeves the
amateur dressmakers find the problem
Of skirt lengths one of the most difficult
to adjust. For one year skirts, even for
street wear. are made with short trains.
while another season they will reach only
to the ankles. This year there will be
only one rule in regard TO the length of
walking skirts. and that is the clearing
the ground all around" no matter what
fashion may decree.
Variations, however. of the short skirt
NAV be made to suit individual needs.
For instance. the very short or stout
woman should wear her skirt just as long
as she possibly can without its touching.
By SO doing She adds to her height, ap-
parently Women of medium build will
find a skirt that escapes the ground by
two inches an effective length. while the
tall thin figure may wear a skirt shorter
and find il becoming. for apparently 1t
decreases her height and increases her
breadth.
Skirts With Trains for Afternoon.
The skirt of the new tailored suits for
morning and shopping are all in walking
length Handsome suits OF broadclotn.
ra ajahs and similar expensive fabrics show
skirts in slight sometimes more) train
length Such gowns, Of course are Tor
afternoon or ceremonious wear and as
the skirt must be lifted when worn on
the street the style is really only adapted
for carriage use. or course, the long
skirt is always more graceful, but. II
one cannot afford accessories IN keeping
with 1t the better plan is to choose some
neat. practical model more in harmony
with waist hat, etc.
In genuine princess models the skirt
portions should always display trains. A
perfectly fitting princess made an inch
or more from the floor is ruined, in my
opinion So, unless a train Is practical.
the princess style should not be chosen.
No matter what the height or build of
| the Wearer.
skirts in semi-princess style are not
subject to this hard and fast rule, for
many of the most effective gowns made
on these lines have the lower part in

Ellis county Texas. claims the
distinction Of being the banner cot
ton producing county of the world.
Nor is fl an empty claim, for it Is a
fact that in 1906 Ellis county, Texas,
of which WaXahachie Is the county
seat. produced a little over 10000
bales OF cotton. As far as the record
shows. no other county in the world
has ever equaled this. At the prices
then prevailing for cotton the crop
of that county brought the immense
sum OF SS.250.000, while the cotton
seed from that crop brought little
over 100000. making a total for
the crop of S9.150,0O0 Other field
crops grown in that county during
The same year We're valued at So
o0O. 600. while the value OF fruit
vegetables, poultry, eggs and dairy
products would swell the years ag-
gregate crop to the sum of SIS
coo coo. According to the last cen
sus that county had population Of
about 10000. Allowing five persons
to each family, this would mean a
per capita of $500, or $500 per
family. 1t is claimed that the total
value OF all crops grown in that
county in 1906 was about equal to
the total taxable values OF all prop

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-04-01
Kind Words for The Herald.

A lady subscriber of ours recently
wrote to friend in Bamberg, and we
were privileged to read the portion OF
the letter which referred to The
Herald Here is what was said:
Il want you to tell the editor of
The Herald that | am back from the
land of flowers, and although it is a
fine place to live, it is not to be COM
pared to the old Palmetto State, and
as The Herald is too good paper
for any of it's readers to miss, | want
him to send my paper back to its old
address. | think every one who ever
lived in Bamberg county should be
interested in The Herald, and those
who are not taking it, should sub
scribe at once, as they are missing
news and good advice which they
need"
We thank our friend TOR her kind
words, and hope tina. we may con-
tinue to merit her good opinion. Few
can boast of more appre-
ciative and loyal subscribers, which
shows us that our efforts to print a
good newspaper are appreciated by a
large number of people.

How About Baseball?

1t will not be long before the
long afternoons will be here. 1t will
not be long before the stores will be-
gin their early closing. How about
those afternoons, how are the peo-
pie of Bamberg going to spend them
for the most part? A lot of questions
perhaps, and what do they mean?
Well, it is just this: Bamberg
should organize some kind of ball
team. Not necessarily league team
and not necessarily a hired lot Of ball
tossers, but this town should have a
team that will bring some sport to
the town during the afternoons of
the approaching spring and summer.
If the men who are interested in
base ball will go to work and get
together, making some kind of work
ing organization and then get uni
forms and other equipment, the ball
will be set to rolling and there will
be something doing. Games can be
arranged with Denmark, Orange
burg, and other towns, and then the
Fitting School can be taken on for a
number of games, and Bamberg will
be in the swim.
If other towns in the State, some
of them no larger than Bamberg,
can have league ball, why cannot
Bamberg also have baseball of some
kind? The writer was talking to
ball player of Orangeburg sometime
ago, and he stated that while Or
angeburg did not expect to be in a
league, they would play some inde-
pendent teams with their local men.
They expect to have a very strong
aggregation in that city this year.
It is said that they have nearly
enough college players there to COM
pose a team. Bamberg can say
about the same thing, and so let's
get to work. Will some one make a
proposition of some kind which will
lead to a meeting of the fans?

Sun(lay.School Convention.

Much progress has been made
during the past week towards max
ing the Sunday-school Association OF
Bamberg county an assured tact
Committees have been appointed to
act in preparing the way for the
coming association and some OF them
have already gone to work. II the
committee on homes comes to you
at any time please remember that it
is part of your convention and that
YOU should take part in entertaining
the DELEGATES. Sunday-school work
ers from all over Bamberg county
will be here. The names of the dele
gates have commenced to come in
and homes will be needed to provide
for the entertainment of these mon
and women. If you will agree to take
two or more delegates, or even one
if you cannot possibly do better, give
YOUR name to the chairman OF the
committee and he will see that you
have your guests. It would be a great
deal easier for all of the members
if the citizens would communicate
with them telling them that they
will take a certain number.
The superintendent all through
the county have begun to respond to
the appeal for the organization, and
several of them have been to Bam-
berg recently and made inquiries
about the proposed plans. Programs
have been prepared and have been
sent out to some of the schools. II
other schools will write for them or
lust state that they expect to be rep
resented at the convention, pro-
grams will be sent them.
Mr.. Frank F. Whilden writes that
he expects to do his very best in
helping with the singing, and that
means that the musical part OF the
program is an assured treat for
everybody. 1t will be possible to get
I'D a choir of thirty-flve or even nifty
voices for this occasion, and that
means that it will take such leader
as Mr.. Whilden to lead them in a
musical way.
Mr.. J. M. Way also writes that ne
is going to put his whole heart, head
and soul into our convention. He is
scheduled for a number of talks on
practical subjects, and every one can
rest assured that the practical SIDE
of the convention will be just as
helpful and pleasing as the music.
Any school desiring to become a
part of the county association will
please send the names of delegates to
either Mr.. G.. w. Rentz or Mr.. Thos
Black.
The following committees have
been appointed and are requested tc
hold meetings at an early date anc
map out their plans fully:
Committee on homes: MIR. Thos
Black, w. Frank Johnson, j. H. Fen
der, and D. ]. Delk.
Committee on reception of dele
gates: w. D. Rhoad, J. F. Carter, c
w. Rentz, and j. E. Fielder.
Committee of music: G. w
Rentz, Mrs. R. w. D. Rowel, F. F
Whilden, of Columbia, and Others
who will be invited to assist.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The pastors theme Sunday morn
ing Was EzekieI's vision of the
Gospel, Ezek. 47:1-12, coupled with
the APOSTLE Johns in Rev. 22:1-2,
showing it's heavenly and earthly
sources, its spread and it's effects in
the world, using the blackboard, and
illustrating the great thought by the
true philosophy of flowing spring
or artesian we'll.
The pastor announced that next
Sunday morning he would discuss
the Baptist position on the COM
munion question, followed by the
celebration of the Lords supper.
Anyone desiring to know truly why
Baptists hold their views of this
ordinance that they do, need not
hesitate to come, since the subject
will be discussed in the spirit of
Christian kindness, and without, in
any sense, belittling any other de-
nomination.
The Sunday-school formally de-
cided to join with the B. Y. P. U. in
undertaking the support of native
worker on the foreign field. So the
church will do it's foreign mission
work this year through these auxil-
iary societies.
The pastors theme at night was
voluntariness in religion. He showed
that the appeals to human volition
in regard to salvation, marked
mans free moral agency, and his
utter dependence on the grace of
God for salvation. That the free
dom of the Gospel and calls for VOL
untary obedience, service and Offer
ings, of Christians, did not free them
from moral obligation to God, but
only showed the acceptable spirit in
which these should be rendered. So
any offering that is not freely and
cheerfully given is not acceptable to
God; and anyone refraining from
giving of themselves, time and
money to God as he demands, is con-
demned, because he is guilty of rob-
bing God and insubordination to
him. So, only a cheerful, voluntary
response to Divine demands can win
the Lords well DONE"
Let every member of the church
that reasonably can be at the COM
munion service Sunday. Remember
Christ said, eff ye love me We will
keep my commandments. (R. w.
Remember it is love for and to
Christ, not to loved ones, that is
tested here. This must be the su-
premeSt love.
