To the People of Bamberg County:
At a meeting recently held in the
city Of Bamberg you, in my absence,
elected me as president Of the good
roads movement for Bamberg coun-
ty.
I was absent from that meeting on
professional business, and while
would have preferred that you had

this matter, yet as have been call
ed up on to render this service, / ac-
cept the same and will do my whole
duty.
Let me call upon you individually
and by communities to join hands and
make good roads in Bamberg county.
The government has rendered the
aid of supervisor to construct a
mile of road in the county under gov
ernment supervision, and I am con-
vinced that it will not only supervise
the construction of the mile but any
number Of miles that any community
may choose to build, and for this
purpose I want to call upon the towns
as business centers to join hands and
have good roads built on the lead
ing public highways, and when this
has been begun the side lines can
be completed.
Thanking you in advance for the
honor shown me, am,
Yours very truly,

Some More Figures.

The Orangeburg Times and Demo
crat asys The Herald has recently
been indulging in some hot air about
the cotton markets of this place and
Orangeburg, in claiming that Bam-
berg is paying more than Orange
burg. We were too busy last week
to get up some comparative figures,
but we present the figures below for
the past week, commencing with
Tuesday a week ago, which shows
that Bamberg is certainly paying
more for cotton than Orangeburg.
The figures for Orangeburg are TAX
en- from the News and Courier, and
the figures for Bamberg were OBJ
tained from reliable merchants here
who are cotton buyers.
The figures for Orangeburg are:
Tuesday go to 10 cents; Wednes-
day $50 to 10; Thursday $50 to
10; Friday $50 to 10; Saturday
$50 to $50; Monday $40 to $50;
Tuesday $50 to $50.
Bamberg: Tuesday 10 1-8; We'd
nesday 10 IA; Thursday 10 1-16;
Friday 10 1-16; Saturday 10 1:S;
Monday 10; Tuesday 9 5-S; Wednes-
day 3 5-8.
We started to keep this record
Wednesday a week ago, as the re-
ports from Orangeburg were publish
ed, with the intention of publishing
the figures for a week, no matter
which way it turned out. We did
not get any Bamberg figures until
Saturday morning, and we obtained
tho ha1ance this "Wednesday morn
ing just before going to press. Take
the figures for a week, two weeks, a
month, or the season, and it will be
found that the Bamberg market will
average higher than Orangeburg.

capitol were discussed The plan is
to Spend about one million dollars in

go ahead and appropriate the money
without any instructions from the
tax payers.

Electric Lights at Last.

Last week a workman arrived and
wired the passenger station for cleo
trio lights. The ticket Office, bag
gage room, and white and colored
waiting rooms are now we'll lighted,
and several lights have also been
placed on the outside of the BUILDING:

burn all night for the convenience
and safety of those people who use
the midnight trains.

Carlisle Fitting School Lyceum.

Once more the citizens Of Bam-
berg have honored themselves and
shown their public spirit in making
possible a lyceum course for the
community and the Carlisle Fitting
School by their advance subscr1p-
ton for season tickets. The lyceum
to-day is no longer local enterprise,
restricted to a small territory, but a
movement as wide as the United
States, calling for the best people in
every line Of artistic perfection and
endeavor. A good lyceum course Is
of untold value to any community,
putting that community into touch
with all the world, besides bringing
to our very doors the concrete ex-
preston, illustration and emphasis
of what is best and highest in litera-
ture, music, art and entertainment.
The man who either villifies or Is
unappreciative of a good lyceum Sc
ries shows a Lack of early training,
atrophy of the finer sensibilities, or
a shortsightedness that is almost
criminal.
The lyceum is not member OF
the church, neither does the Iyceum
20 to school, but It is movement
concerned with every vital and legiti-
mate interest and concern OF a COM
munity. And while not in the same
category as the school and church,
yet as the supporter Of both is de-
serving Of the highest respect and
consideration and should be main
tanned even by sacrifice and effort.
The citizens of Bamberg have hon
ored themselves by entering subscrip-
tions for season tickets, thus max
ing the course possible for another
season under it's present most excel
lent management.
The lyceum of Bamberg is even
more important in it's relation to the
student body of the Carlisle Fitting
School. There is no greater factor
for good in this section than this
most excellent institution. It is a
light-tower for the community and
the surrounding region. Within it's
walls will be gathered a student
body of some of the best youth of
our section in and growing out of
their adolescence, the most import
ant period in the life of any idivid-
ual. Now through this splendid ly-
ceum course for the coming fall and
winter there will be made to impinge
upon the receptive minds and con-
sciousness of the stu dent-body the
work of some of the best men and
artists from various parts of the
United States. Who can tell what
streams of gracious influences will
be unloosed from the lives of the
growing youth by this splendid Sc
ries of attractions. And Professor ].
Caldwell Guilds, the head master,
and his splendid helpers, deserve
the praise, support, and commenda-
ton of the entire community for
their spirit and enterprise in this un-
dertaking , Every citizen should se-
cure a season ticket and thus make
the course more than successful, and
lay the foundation for a larger
course next season.
The following attractions embody
the course for the coming season:
The La Barge Musical Company;
Sidney Landon; Ross Crane; Wilbur
Star Quartette Company; The Otter
bein Male Quartette and Bell Ring
ers.
Season tickets can be secured from
Prof. Guilds. The season will open
with number to be given by the
La Barge Musical Company, Thurs
day, October S.

The Cotton Market.

Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-
day Wednesday, at 9 5-8 cents the
pound. The receipts continue heavy,
as the high prices paid on this
market are bringing lots of cotton
here from a distance. The fact is
that Bamberg is paying more this
season for cotton than other markets
in this section, and the farmers are
finding it out. Bring your cotton
to Bamberg.

U. D. G. Meeting.

The Francis Marion Bamberg
Chapter U. D. G. will hold it's regu-
lar monthly meeting with Mrs. Rob-
ert Black and Miss Newsom at their
home next Tuesday afternoon, Octo-
Der 10th, at o'clock. All the mem
bers are urged to be present, to COM
plete plans for the 26th, the day
set for the unveiling of the Confed-
crate monument.
The 26th will be the biggest day
in the history of Bamberg, and the
chapter invites everybody from the
county and adjoining counties to
come and enjoy with her the exer-
cises of the unveiling-they will not
only be beautiful, but interesting.
Senator E. D. Smith will be the ora
tor of the occasion, and there will be
other addresses, which will be an
nounced later. The cords holding
the veil will be drawn by thirteen
little girls, daughters of the Chap
ter members, and grand-daughters
and great-grand-daughters Of Con-
federate soldiers.
The monument is a mighty shaft
of Winnsboro blue granite, surmount-
ed by typical Confederate private
soldier in dress uniform iwth gun
at parade rest. It was made in Italy
of Italian marble, and is an exquisite
piece of sculpture. 1t stands 35 feet
in the clear and is an object of ad-
miration to all who have been for
tunate enough to see it. 1t stands veil
ed now, and will remain so until the
26th when it will be dropped by the
thirteen little girls, emblematic of
thirteen States that seeded from the
union.

The work of erecting the Confed-

day of this week, the statue being
put in place Monday afternoon. 1t is
very pretty and has attracted a great
deal of attention. The yelling was

was accepted by the Chapter, and this
covering will remain until the un-
yelling the 26th of this month.
The little EXETER for the new gen.
orator at the electric light plant went
to the bad Tuesday morning just be-

were no lights Tuesday night. How
ever, Mr.. Camp got the machine in
shape yesterday morning, and the
lights are all right again. He is
now at work repairing the big gen.
orator which was damaged by light
ming some time ago.
We have been so busy the past
week or so that we have not had time
to arrange the details of the contest
we propose to put on in the near
future, but We hope to give a full an
nOuncement soon. 1t will be one Of
the greatest contests ever inaugu-
rated by any newspaper in this Sec
ton, and the prizes will be valuable.
The way in which it will be conduct
ed we feel sure will appeal to all
contestants, for our past experience
puts us in a position to handle con-
test that will be a winner.

AFTERMATH OF GREAT
NEW YORK FIRE
Known Dead Number One Hundred
and Forty-one-Thrililng Expert
ence of One of the Survivors.
by Associated Press.1

New York, March 27.-The loft fire
victims death list this morning still
stood at 141, of whom sc have been
identified. Sixteen of the identified
were men or boys. Twelve injured are
still in hospitals.
Ida Singer, a nineteen-year-old girl,
had the strangest experience of all.
She fell from the ninth floor of a fire
escape and was caught on the wall of
the third floor by a hook which pierced
her clothing and only bruised her. She
was rendered unconscious from the
fall, but recovered to find herself
swinging from the hook, whence for
some time she watched the horrible
scenes on the ground below until she
was rescued.
1t is now known that the fire started
in a heap of rubbish which it is be-
lieved was ignited by a lighted cigar
cite.
The fire marshal said today ii would
have taken the seven hundred girls
three hours to reach the street by the
only fire escape available, and that
over a thousand other buildings in
New York are in a similar condition.

How Atlanta Youngsters Celebrate
Easter.

The annual egg hunt at Atlanta, Ga,
is another unique celebration, ilsti.
tuted by the authorities of that city
several years ago, for the delectation
of its juvenile population. On the Sat.
urday before Easter, Grant Park, one
of the city's most popular breathing
places, is closed to the public and in
the shrubbery and grass are hidden
some 10000 or $4,000 candy eggs, one
of which is gilded. At noon on Easter
day, when the band strikes up Dixie"
the throngs of waiting youngsters are
admitted and the hunt for the eggs
begins. The fortunate finder of the
gilded egg is presented by the city
with a goat, harness and wagon as a
prize. The eagerness with which the
children prosecute their search is a
source of infinite amusement to their
grown-up guardians who accompany
them and there is a concerted rush for
drinking fountains and refreshment
stands when the hunt is over.-Charles
