terror of his barber shop kalsomlned

The crops in Bamberg county, es-
pecially in the Bamberg section, are

Reports from all over the county
are to the effect that continued
drought is injuring cotton very
much. The yield will be far short
from what was expected at one time.
The livery and sale stables of Mr..
J. J. Smoak have been remodeled,
being very much enlarged and i'm
proved. His facilities for handling
stock are about double what they for
merly were.

Miss Eulalie Coleman, of this city,
was the winner of the scholarship in
Winthrop college, she winning over
a number of contestants. Miss Cole
man graduated at the city graded
school in June, and she is to be con-
graduated on the high stand taken
there and on winning the scholar
ship.
It would be good idea to do some
work on the road to Ehrhardt. 1t is
right rough in places, and some OF
the bridges are higher than the road
bed and somewhat out of shape,
which makes automobile riding over
them somewhat unpleasant. Wei
trust the chain gang can get to this
road in a short time.
Last week we stated that the first
bale of cotton for the season came
to town Wednesday, the 18th. This
was an error, as the first bale OF
new cotton came to town Saturday,
the 18th instant. It was brought in
by Mr.. w. P. Mcmillan, and was
bought by H. J. Brabham, Jr., for
12k cents the pound
A municipal election is soon to bel
held in the city of Orangeburg, and
we nete that the friends of Col. W.
G. Smith, formerly of Bamberg, have
nominated him as a candidate for al
derman. Col. Smith was former
member of the city council, but was
not candidate two years ago. When
a member of council he was in charge
of streets and railroads.
The first bale Of new cotton for
Orangeburg was sold in that city last
Wednesday morning, being sold by
Mr.. J. D. Cleckley, Of the Cope Sec
ton. It brought liz cents the
pound. The first bale sold here for
121k cents the pound, and bales
brought in since sold at IL cents the
pound. This shows the difference be-
tween the Bamberg and Orangeburg
markets. One cent a pound is right
good difference.
The cotton mill here will start
operations again next Monday morn
ing, the 2sth, after shut down OF
over four months, it shutting down
about the middle of May. Instruc-
tions to start up next Monday were
received by Superintendent Dunn
last week, and it will be good news
to the operatives and the business
men of the town that the long shut
