Hon. j. 0. Patterson Should Be Re-
turned to Congress.

The following editorial appeared
in the New Era, an Aiken county pa
per, on the 18th instant, and seems
to express the sentiment of the entire
district:
Hon. J. o. Patterson, who is
again in the field for denomination
for congress from this district, de-
serves the thoughtful and critical
consideration of every voter. His
record as it comes to us from those in
whose judgment we have every con-
fidence is good and clean and Demo-
cratic to the core, which is rare
just now.
Handicapped, as all Southern
Democrats are, by belonging to the
minority in congress, he is to be COM
mended for what he has accomplish
ed by his great tact and good judg-
ment.
LAS there is a good prospect for a
Democratic majority in congress the
next term, it would be good politics
for all congressman from this State
who "have made good to be re-
turned, and Mr.. Patterson has GER
tainly done So"

A Good Roads Rally for Bamberg.

City council has undertaken a
movement for the betterment Of the
streets and roads of the town, and
if the hearty cooperation of the citi-
zens can be secured, the town will
be put in better condition than in
many years past.
The plan is in substance as fol-
lows: To have the Business League
call special meeting of the citizens
of the town and secure the names of
all parties who will furnish one or
two or more teams during a certain
time to be decided upon later. These
teams will be used to haul clay into
the town and will be in charge of a
committee from the council and
from the League. 1t is proposed to
secure a road grader and to do some
grading in the town also. The rally
would last during a period Of per-
haps two weeks. The purpose of the
rally is to clay and grade the streets
of the town and build them up in
every possible manner. To this end
it will be necessary to have a great
many teams. Now that the crops
are laid by and the teams will be
idle, the men of the town have a
splendid opportunity to cooperate
and do lasting work. This work, if
done by the town, would cost a great
deal more money than the town can
afford, and yet if cooperation is
secured it can be done without much
cost to any one. One citizen, the
mayor of the town has already sig
niied his intention of furnishing six
teams for a period of two days.
This matter has been referred to
the Business League, but as the presi-
dent and the secretary are both out
of the city, it is not known what &C.
ton will be taken by the League.
In the meantime let everybody dis
cuss the Good Roads Rally and have
your mind made up to offer some
thing for the cause when the meet
ing is called

Very Good Corn Crop.

Mr.. J. H. Cope, near Cope, has a
field of ninety acres in corn which
will average forty bushels to the
acre. This means a crop Of $500
bushels, and upon being asked how
much it took to run the place, the
manager said $500 bushels, which
would run it to it's full capacity. Mr..
Cope has corn and cotton on five
foot rows, and his cotton just at this
time is as good as cotton can be,
meeting in the row and fruitful to
it's full capacity. Mr.. Cope has
also another profitable crop, hogs,
having a fine drove of something
over a hundred head. These he fat
tens on peanuts, planting from 20 to
80 acres generally.-Orangeburg

Goodwin, the palmist and clairvoy-
ant and all-round swindler, who was
arrested ia Relair, O1o, ard brought
back here on swindling charge, has

something over two dollars seized.

LAWN PARTY.
An Enjoyable Event Given in Honor
Of Misses Ray and Black.

A most delightful event enjoyed
by the younger set was the lawn
party given at the hospitable home of
DR.. and Mrs. Ed kirkland last We'd
nesday evening, the 10th instant in
honor of Misses Hattie Ray and
Leize Black, who are visiting Misses
Kathlene and Annie Laurie Kirk
land. The guests were met and in
troduced by Mrs. Kirkland and Misses
Kathlene and Annie Laurie, and af-
ter all had arrived they repaired to
the beautiful lawn which had been
freshly clipped and nicely lighted
with Japanese lanterns, and INDUCED
in games, and in the book contest.
Miss Thelma Faust won the first prize
of a box of chocolate candy and G.
D. Free won the BOBBY prize OF a
large kitchen spoon, after which de-
licious refreshments, consisting OF
sherbert and cake, were served on
the lawn by the little Misses Eloise
Kirkland, Eva Mae Spann, Cornelia
Black, and Harrie Dele Free.
Those present were: Misses Leon
ard Folk, Urma Black, Ethel Black,
Evelyn Free, Julia Easterling, Jero-
lene Bruce and Ruth Riley, and the
boys were Messrs. c. D. Free, Carl
Kirsch, Joe Spann, Phillip Murphy,
Willie Dickinson, Bob Aver, Tommie
Black, Kirkland Graham, Bissel
Beach, Pinckney Bellinger, Henry
Kearse and NJ. o. Munnerlyn.
The young folks certainly enjoyed
themselves as the hour at which they
left will attest, for they stayed till
the lanterns began to burn out.

Trinity Sunday-School Notes.

The Trinity Bugle is the name OF
the official paper Of the school.
The Herbert Adult Bible Glass will
have charge of the opening exercises
at Trinity Sunday-school next Sun
day afternoon at o'clock. A COM
mittee will have this in charge.
Bible Class Day at Trinity should
be attended by every member OF the
class. 1t is hoped that not less than
sixty will be present.
The banner system has been insti-
tuted and is now being carried on.
Handsome banners have been placed
in the school, one for attendance and
one for offering. The contest began
August 7, and will be carried on each
month. The class having the largest
per centage of members present. dur
ing the month will be awarded the
banner for attendance and will be
given charge of the banner for the
ensuing month; the plan for offering
will be based upon the largest per
centage of offering to pupils present;
for instance, if one class with forty
present gave two dollars and another
class with ten present gave one dol
lar. the class giving the dollar would
receive the banner, because they
gave more per member.
ORGANIZATION seems to be in the
air. Aside from the Herbert Adult
Bible Glass there are two other fully
organized classes in the school now.
The Busy BIS and the II rs" are
hard at work to prefect the organiza-
ton, and they will doubtless he
heard from in the near future. The
work of organized classes throughout
the country is attracting great at
tention.
The attendance this summer has
not yet fallen below one hundred and
five. The average attendance has
been about one hundred and twenty
or more. This is one of the results
of organization. Last summer the
attendance dropped down to about
eighty five several Sundays. This
summer there are probably more
members out of town than ever be-
fore.
When a visiting pastor came to the
school lately and was asked to ad-
dress the Bible Class, he seemed in
credulous when told that that large
number occupying one entire side Of
the auditorium was the Bible Class.
If all the members had been present,
he would have doubtless wondered
still more.

years.-Columbi State, August 13.

Cid Negro Accidentally Strikes Him.
self on Leg.

St. Matthews, August 15.-Ben
Butler, negro railroad section hand,
lost his life in a most peculiar man
ner to-day. While working with his
hammer he missed his mark, the en-
tire force of the blow falling on his
leg in the vicinity of the knee. But
Ter suffered great pain and lost con-
siderable blood. In about an hour he
died. The blow is supposed to have
so completely shocked the entire sys-

heart.

years and was considered one of it's
most faithful employees. He was a
negro of advanced age.

Bank for SmOaks.

We understand that an effort is be-
ing made to organize bank at
Smoaks in Colleton county. Mr.. j..
E. Smoak is the prime mover in the
organization. There are some mighty
good men in that section and it may
be that a bank will pay, but it ap-
pears that every nook and corner is
trying to engage in the banking
business. If the deposits can be Sc
cured, the institution ought to do
we'll: but it takes deposits to make a
bank if there are to be any profits.

COUNTY EXPENSES.

To the Democratic Voters of Bam-
berg County:
A statement having been circulat-
cd, showing an increase in the ex-
penses of the county for the year
1909-1O over 10000, I beg to say
that if you will examine the state
ment given below that there has been
really no increase at all. The settle
ment between the auditor and treas
urer for the fiscal year 1908-09
shows total paid out on County Com
missioners order s17691.05, the set
tlement for 1909-10 shows a total
paid out of s20116.51. This would
show an apparent increase OF
s2425.46, read statement below
showing extra expenses, which were
not published for the previous year,
and you will see that the increase
has only been s593.5S. Now, as in
telligent men, ask you to connsider
the fact that for the year 10000
the convicts on the chain gang aver
aged about 25, while for the year
19O9-10 the average was about 35,
and at no time since the first Of Oc-
tober, 1909, there has been not less
than 35 convicts. Now, when you
take into consideration the increased
cost of all commodities, and the in
crease in the gang, you will see that
there has been no increase in actual
expenses for 1909-10 over 190S-09.
