The minstrel performers of the

was repeated at Bamberg last Fri
day night was said to be even better

We have received a letter from
Prof. D. N. Barrow, of Clemson col
lege, stating that while the authori-
ties will spend a good deal of time
this summer operating their live
stock train, they have no idea of neg
lecting the regular farmers insti-
tutes, and it will facilitate his work
very materially if sections desiring
these institutes will make application
as promptly as possible. If the farm
ers of Bamberg county want an in
stitute this summer, they should
make application at once.
In discussing the population of the
town of Bamberg as shown by the
recent census, it should be remem-
bered that when the census was
taken both the cotton mill and oil
mill. were closed down and most OF
the operatives with their families had
moved out of town. We understand
the enumerator stated that he had
only about 20 cotton mill people on
his list, while our cotton mill popu-
lation is nearly 400. This alone
would make our population several
hundred more than the census gives
us.
