Business League Organized.

A meeting to organize business
league for Bamberg was held in the
city hall last Friday afternoon at six
o'clock. J. F. Carter, Esq, called the
meeting to order and W. P. Riley was
made Secretary. Mr.. Carter then
made the report of the committee on
constitution and bylaws, which COM
mittee had been appointed at pre-
vious meeting. During the reading
of this report, Hon. H. C. Folk pre-
sided over the meeting.
The report Of the committee was
adopted with but few changes. It
was decided to call the organization
1.-The Bamberg Business Mems
League" Monthly meetings are to
be held, and the dues are fifty cents
a month, payable in advance, with
an initiation fee of one dollar.
After the constitution and bylaws
were adopted, election Of officers be-
ing in order, the following were
elected: J. F. Carter, president; j..
A. Hunter, vice president; w. P.
Riley, secretary and treasurer. These
officers are ex oficio members Of the
executive committee. Four addition
al members of the executive commit
tee were elected as follows: H. c..
Folk, G. Frank Bamberg, Thos.
Black, w. A. .Klauber. There are a
number of committees to be appoint
ed by the president with the advice
of the executive comittee, and these
will be announced at an early date
and the body will get to work.
The organization can do much
good for Bamberg if the members
will only work, but unless they take
some interest in it and are prepared
to put forth some time and effort, it
can amount to nothing. If the COM
mittees and members will cooperate
with the president and secretary, we
feel sure the organization will be a
live factor in the growth of Bamberg.

Teachers Elected.

A meeting of the board of trus-

Woman Succumbs to Burns.

Lexington, May 9.-Mrs. Bunion
B. Sharpe died at her home, near
Pelion, this county, to-day at l
o'clock after suffering terrible agony
for more than two weeks, caused by
burns received in a mysterious man
ner. Yesterday two weeks ago Mrs.
Sharpe was standing before the fire
place, when her dress became ignited.
Her husband was nearby at the time,
but it seems that there was NO
water in the house at the time, and
the unfortunate woman, not knowing
what to do, was horribly burned
every vestige of her clothing being
burned from her body.
The case has excited considerable
interest in the community and all
sorts of rpmors have been rife.
She is survived by her husband
and two little children.
Her remains will be buried to-mor'
row in the Lucas burying ground
near her late residence.

Memorial Day.

Tuesday afternoon of this week the
ladies of Francis Marion Bamberg
chapter u. D. G. observed memorial
day, and an interesting program was
carried out. The exercises were held
at the court house, and consisted Of
an address by J. F. Garter, Esq,
readings, recitations, and song by the
school children. Prayer was offered
by Rev. o. J. Frier. Mayor ]. AL
drich Wyman presided over the exer-
cises. Mr.. Carter made short but
good address. He devoted much of
his time to discussing the work
which the chapter here has in hand,
the erecting of a monument to the
Confederate dead.
After the exercises the children
were taken in charge by the ladies
and they decorated with flowers the
graves of all Confederate dead in the
three cemeteries of the city. Mem
orial day was thus for the first time
observed in Bamberg, and it was in
deed a success, for every one seemed
to take much interest in the matter.

Two Fires.

Last Friday night about eleven
O'Clock the barn of Mr.. J. A. Mitch
ell was destroyed by fire. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. Mr..

the house and contents, and he states
that his loss was about 5000 on the
building and contents.
Sunday morning about three
O'Clock the barn of Mrs. NJ. E. Bam-

lost horse and buggy and some

Pinic at Old Zion.

A crowd just large enough for
every one to have good time gath
cred at Old Zion near the old Howell
mill pond Thursday, May 5th. Bam-
berg, Branchville, and Ehrhardt were
we'll represented, while the immedi-
ate community turned out almost in
full. Free lemonade and bountiful
dinner were served, and all seemed
to have a good time. This old pond
is a favorite place for picnics and fish
frys, and pleasure hunters are often
found here.

Loyal Temperance Legion.

The Bamberg Loyal Temperance
Legion held it's regular meeting in
the Sunday-school room of the
Methodist church last Friday after
noon. Am sure it rejoiced my heart
for me to have a good attendance.
Besides the members and two visi-
tors, who joined our band at this
meeting, we were glad to have pres
ent our newly elected organist, and
another one of our Womans' Chris
tian Temperance Union members,
Miss Sallie Free, who is to assist us
in our work all she can. In honor OF
our new worker and new members
we sang our beautiful welcome song.
After a short song service we had
our dear young president to read
few verses from the Word Of God,
then we had sentence prayer by the
children and the assistants. This
was beautiful! To think that so
many "grown-ups" will refuse or
shrink back from praying to our
Heavenly Father publicly and yet
their very own children willing, rev.
erently and beautifully did that which
their elders will not do. I am deep
ly impressed that this should not be
the case. Another thing the children
of this noble band are active. They
are easily persuaded, if persuaded at
all, to take an active part in singing,
reading and reciting. The one thing
that I have found them just bit
backward in is in making motion
and so on, but they are coming.
It was voted to have member
ship committee and lookout COM
mittee. The president appointed
three Legioners to serve on each
committee for period of two weeks.
Because of their 1abors we hope to
win new members and claim others
who are enrolled, but for one cause
or another do not meet with us regu-
larly.
We are grateful because of the
success we had at our bazaar and
therefore will be permitted to liber-
ally contribute to our State work,
and Anna G. Gordon fund, not in
Guiding our expenses.
We have several departments OF
work, namely: Flower Mission; Press
and Literature. The first depart
ment is indeed a beautiful one, for it
is the means of carrying cheer into
sick, needy, sorrowing, sin-sicT
hearts. Flowers carry their mes
sage of cheer and good vii! and
oftentimes they are accompanied ''y
scripture verses.
Before we adjourned we had
reading and a recitation.
Before I close, let me say that. ]
honestly believe that we are fortu-
nate in having one of the very best
and most faithful little recording
secretaries to be found anywhere.
| Her minutes are we'll gotten up.
After repeating our pledge and pray,
ing our L. T. L. prayer-"Ged bless
the L. T. l.. everywhere" we were
adjourned to meet again two weeks
hence. B. L. B.

Patterson for Congress.
To the white voters of Bambert

To the white voters of Bamberg
county:
The campaign will soon be open
and I desire to say to my friends In
the Second Congressional District that
I shall be a candidate to succeed my
self to the 62nd Congress in the pri-
mary to be held during the coming
summer.
This announcement, will, trust,
dispel the erroneous idea in the minds
of a few, created by recent exagger-
ated reports that my capacity for ef-
fective work had been diminished by
reason of i'll health.
Realizing by experience that a Rep
resentative's usefulness is in direct
proportion to his length of service, l
feel that I am better qualified to
serve my constituents now than at
any time in the past and, If am re-
turned to Congress they shall receive
the benefit of the experience I have
gained by reason of participation in
public affairs.
Like other members of the minority
party in Congress I have been handl-
capped, and as a result Of partisan
action some of the plans I have for
imDroyement in our district and
State, for which I have labored most,
have not been disposed Of yet, but
sharing in the belief of my colleagues
that democratic ideas of government
will prevail in Congress after the No
vember election, I am more anxious
than ever to be member of the next
Congress and consummate the work
have already projected in the interest
of our district.
am deeply grateful to my friends
for their past friendship and support
and hope to be honored with it again.
I am enjoying good health and am
very much alive to the needs and well
fare of my constituency and, if hon
ored with the nomination, pledge
the best efforts of both head and
heart to your service.
Yours very truly,
J. o. PATTERSON.
