Base Ball.

,Rowesville and Bamberg played q
game of base ball here Tuesday af-
ternoon, and Bamberg won BY a
score of ten to three. There was a
fairly good crowd out, but the boys
need larger crowds in order to pay
expenses. The same teams play
again this "Wednesday afternoon.
Friday afternoon there will be a
game between Bamberg and Cope,
and an exciting contest is promised.
Cope has recently strengthened its
team, and as the Bamberg boys who
have been away at college are re-
turning, a fast team will represent
this city. It is the intention of the
young men to have some good games
here during the summer, and in their
efforts to provide some amusement
for the dull afternoons they should
have the cooperation of our. people.
Go out to the games and encourage
the boys. They want your presence
as well as the admission fee.

Graded School Notes.

A meeting of the tax payers of
Bamberg school district was held in
the city hall last Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was held for the elec-
ton of a trustee and to fix the tax
levy for another year. Mr.. H. w.
Adams was elected as trustee for
five years, his term having expired.
The election of Mr.. G. O. Simmons
as trustee was confirmed by the meet
ing, he having been elected by the
board some time ago to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Mr.. F. NJ. Simmons, who moved to
North Carolina.
The levy for the coming year was
fixed at nine mills, the same as at
present.
The trustees will add an additional
teacher to the faculty for next year.
Miss Ruth Dibble, of Orangeburg, a
daughter of Mr.. Andrew G. Dibble,
has been elected teacher of the Sec
ond grade. A teacher for the fourth
grade and German is yet to be elect
ed, and the choice has narrowed
down to two, Misses Davis and Boyd.
A final decision will be made in the
next few days.

New Supervision.

Mr.. N. P. Smoak recently resigned
as supervisor of registration for this
county, he having been elected mayor
of the city of Bamberg and it being
contrary to law to hold two Offices.
He therefore sent to the governor
his resignation as a member of the
registration board some days ago.
The delegation was asked for a rec
ommendation, and Senator Black
and Representatives Riley and Hunt
'er held a meeting and recommended
Mr.. Geo. C. Turner, of the Denmark
section. He has been appointed by
the governor. Mr.. Turner is a fine
young man, fully competent, and his
appointment will give general salts

Clemson College, May 4, 1911.
Dear Sir: As you are doubtless
aware, Clemson College and Win
throp are planning to operate an ed
ucational agricultural train over the
State this summer. Among other
things we will have carload of live
stock, both cattle, horses, and hogs,
and it is our intention to make this
train as largely an educational feat
ure as possible. In other words we
are attempting to carry the agricul-
tural college to the farmer.
1t is planned to make stops of not
less than one days duration and we
hope to include every county in the
State in the work of this train. 1t
will be necessary to try and get over
the State by the first of August, as
otherwise the heat will be too Sc
we're for the stock we are carrying,
therefore it will not be possible to
spend more than one or two days in
each county. I am very anxious to
make these stops at points at which
we will reach the largest number OF
people and am requesting the Farm
ers' Union or it's representatives in
the different counties to advise with
me as to the best points at which
these stops could be made. l am al
so largely relying upon the Farmers
Union to awaken an interest in this
train and secure a good attendance.
I will very much appreciate 1t II,
within the next week or ten days,
you will consult with other members
of the Union in your county and give
me their opinion as to the best places
to make these stops. We will have
with us on the train a representative
Of the Farmers Union. am In
hopes that this will be the presi-
dent, but If he cannot accompany US
then some one designated by the ex-
ecutive committee.
Assuring you of my appreciation
of your cooperation in this matter,
I remain,
Yours very truly,
D. N. BARROW,
Superintendent.

Clemson College, s. c., May 20, 1911.
Mr.. J. E. Mcmillan, Ehrhardt, S. c.
Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge
receipt of yours of recent date sug-
gesting that the best point for the
stopping of our agricultural train
would be in Bamberg. In compli-
ance with your suggestion I have ar
ranged that we will be at Bamberg
on June 12, spending 'the day there.
I presume that you have seen &C
counts of this train in the paper as
to just what it will consist of, and
will appreciate it if you will do what
you can to get a good attendance.
With best wishes, I remain,
Yours very truly,
D. N. BARROW,

Negro Kills His Brother.

Last Saturday night negro named
Frank Jennings struck his broth
er, Jasper Jennings, over the head
with a bed slat and Jasper died Tues
day morning from the effects of the
blow. The negroes live on Mr.. w.
NJ. Brabham's platation near town.
They both came to town last Satur-
day and one or possibly both were
drinking. Anyway they had dis
pute just about the time they got
home and Jasper was trying to bor-
row a gun to shoot Frank, who had
gone to his own house. In a short
time Jasper came to his brothers
house, and Frank, no doubt thinking
he had succeeded in getting gun,
struck him with the bed slat as soon
as he entered the door. .,..,..
The wounded negro never spoke
after he was struck, and died, as
above stated, Tuesday morning, from
conclusion of the brain. The blow
was light one, the skin on his head
not even being broken. Coroner
Zeigler held an inquest Tuesday af-
ternoon, and the verdict of the jury
was that the negro came to his death
at the hands of his brother. Frank
Jennings is now in jail, but will no
doubt be released on bond in day
or two. He appears to have had no
i'll will against his. brother, and struck
him in self-defense.

Lawyers Rule.

The government of the United
States is run by the lawyers. The
statistics on this point are over
whelming and leaves no doubts that
the ordinary business man, manu-
facturer or agriculturist has little to
say in the affairs of the nation. How
completely the present congress is
in the hands of the lawyers may be
judged by the fact that they num-
ber more than 65 per cent. of it's
total members, says the Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
OF the 4S0 members of both SEN
ate and house, 304 are lawyers. A
few of the others hive been trained
in the law, but are now engaged in
other occupations. The judicial
branch of the government is, of
course, given over entirely to- law
yers. But the same is almost true
of the executive branch. President
Taft is a lawyer. So are Secretaries
Knox, MacVeagh, Dickinson, Wicker
sham, Hitchcock, Fisher and Nagel.
Thus of the nine members of the
cabinet, seven have had legal train
ing.
In congress the lawyer is king
beyond dispute. In the senate there
are 80 Republican lawyers and the
same number of Democratic lawyers.
In the house the Republicans have
SO lawyers and the Democrats 145.
Thus 70 per cent. of the senators
are members of the bar and 63 per
cent. of the representatives. The
representation of the other occupa-
tions in congress is so small as to be
insignificant as compared with the
army of lawyers. In both houses
combined there are only 26 merch-
ants, "a farmers, % editors and IL
manufacturers.
OF course many of the lawyers
in congress are also engaged in 9th
er occupations, such as banking, real
estate, manufacturing and agricul-l
ture, and many of them are associ-
ated with large industrial corpora
tions. But in classifying the occupa-
tions of the members of congress for
the purpose of this article, every man
has beer put down under the voca-
ton in which he is principally en-
gagged. Here is table which shows
the occupations Of United States SEN
ators in the present congress:
