Daughters Celebrate Lees Birthday

At the celebration of Robert T..
Lees birthday last Friday in the par
lors of the Garland hotel, at which
the Francies Marion Bamberg Chap
ter was host to the veterans of the
county, there was charming pro-
gram of papers and music, and be-
stowal of Is crosses of honor. There
are 13 yet to be bestowed upon vet
Grams who were absent on this oc-
casion, and list of these names
will be found elsewhere in these col
umns
The program was as follows:

Comparison of Genls. Lee and
Jackson-Miss Hattie Newsom.
Song-The Cross of Honor-Miss
May Zeigler.
Paper-Lee as a Christian-Mrs.
H. w. Beard.

The veterans as we'll as the men,
bers entered in to the spirit of the oc-

good will, and after refreshments and
half an hour spent socially the rebel
yell added a fitting climax to a de-
dightful morning.

The Crosses Of Honor.

At the bestowal of crosses of honor
by the Daughters of the Confederacy
on Lees birthday, out of % veterans
who had applied for crosses, only Is
were present to receive them. The
rules of bestowal are very strict and
the remaining 13 crosses are held by
the chapter president, who under the
rules, can hold them only 80 days
from date of bestowal, at which time
they must be returned to the recorder
of crosses at headquarters. A list of
the absent veterans is given below
and the chapter president urges that
they call upon her before the time
is out and receive their crosses. Un-
der the rules they cannot be convey
ed to a veteran except through the
hands of the chapter presidents. The
Daughters value so highly this honor,
that they guard very closely the. be-
stowal of each cross, fearing that one
may be lost or go astray and fall into
the hands of some one who is not
entitled to the honor of possessing
one.
Some one has asked, What does a
cross COST" The reply to the stranger
was, "A fortune in money and four
years of marching and fighting to
boot. The wealth of the world can
not purchase this emblem unless the
buyer wore the gray, too, for it shows
to mankind the works of a hero-a
man who to honor and country was
true" Is it any wonder that the
Daughters guard them closely? No
one but a Confederate veteran can
wear one-they bequeath them to
whomsoever they care to, but after
the passing of the veteran it can
never be worn by any one, neither
widow nor oldest lineal descendant
1T is held then as a priceless her.
itage and laid away in the treasure
box.
The following vterans will please
call on the chapter president, Mrs.
G.. Frank Bamberg, at as early date
as possible to obtain the crosses in
her possession. If illness prevents
ones coming, please write her: W.

Gifts to G.. F. S. Library.

Rev. o. J. Frier, who leaves Bam-
berg this week for his new work at
Winnsboro, has shown himself a
friend indeed to the Carlisle Fitting
School, having made several valu-
able contributions to the school IL
brary and reading room. The most
valuable of these is series of twelve
volumes, issued by the Funk and
Wagnalls Co., entitled "The Sermon
Bible" This is an authoritative
work, full, interesting, helpful, and
makes quite an addition to the IL
brary. Among the books also is a
complete history Of the Spanish
American war, profusely illustrated.
At the beginning of the year Mr..
Frier gave the school a years sub
scription to the Baptist Courier for
the reading table.
1t is needless to say that the
school authorities appreciate these
gifts very highly. Not alone because
of their value but because OF the
manifestation of interest Mr.. Frler
has in the school.
Head Master Guilds has recently
placed an order for some forty VOL
umes to be placed in the library. 1t
is expected that these books will ar
rive this week.
One of the most prominent edu-
Gators in South Carolina said some
months ago, on being taken into the
school library, 81 do not know a
school in the State that has such a
library" But the library needs books,
modern books. There are many
friends, perhaps, who have books
they would be glad to contribute but
who had really never thought of IT..
Think what few other such con-
tributions as the library received last
last week would mean.

One of the Twelve.

S,748 hours in the year 1912.
Twelve hours asked for by the Wo-
mans Home Mission Society. The
hearts of the faithful leaders of the
society were gladdened by large
attendance at the meeting Tuesday
afternoon at the Methodist church.
The president, Mrs. Kirsch, opened
the meeting with devotional exer-
cises, Bible reading, singing and
prayer.
Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg gave
lovely little gem, Thoughts of the
New Year."
Mrs. ]. F. Brabham read a sweet
story telling of the Joy that comes
to those who make real gifts-gifts
that cost something-to the Master.
Surely the woman who supported her
fatherless little ones by bending over
the washtub knew something about
giving the widows mite' when she
brought fifty cents to the missionary
meeting.
Miss Llewellyn Cleckley read a fine
paper on the needs of Woman's
Home Mission work and the obliga-
tions placed upon the women of the
church to take part in the work OF
oox,;ro o,,r country
All had been given an opportunity
to write a new years wish for. the
society. These were collected and
read-wishes as varied as the minds
of those who made them and all
breathing a spirit of earnestness that
promises we'll for the future of the
society.
Mrs. Jennings then read strong
appeal for the "Pledge," paper pre-
pared by Mrs. Kirsch. This money
is used to help in the schools, or
phanages. and rescue homes of the
society.

sponse in the hearts of those who
heard, more than $40 being promised

Miss Llewellyn Cleckley made the
pleasant announcement that Orange
burg district was the banner dis
trict of the State, and Bamberg miss
ed just little being the banner So
ciety in the State, Greenville coming
in by a few dollars.
The literary part of the program
being completed, delightful half
hour was spent socially. Fragrant
coffee and delicious sandwiches were
served through the courtesy of Mrs
Henry Bamberg.
Two new members were added to
the roll. And thus passed the first
of the twelve.
The house Tuesday night voted
to expunge from it's permanent rec
ord all of the special veto message
of Gov. Blease on the libel act, ex-
cept his specific objections. The
vote was SO in favor of expunging
and &c against doing so.

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON.


 New York, Sept 27--Reports of bet ter weather in the south and claims of increased southern offerings were accompanied by very heavy selling on the local market today, the close being barely steady at net decline of from ' to 16 points
 The opening was steady at decline of 4 to points and active months sold z to points net lower right after the call under liquidation attributed to the circulation of October, notices, bearish Liverpool cables, higher tenn peratures in the southwest and claims that the cold snap had run its course without having caused any widespread damage to the crop. The October no- tices were estimated at about 60,000 bales, but leading spot houses were good buyers of October around the ring at about 35 to 40 points under January. while profit taking by recent sellers of later months also helped to steady the market at the decline. Aft CT working up to approximately the closing figures yesterday on this sup port, however, the market weakened again shortly after midday under a continuation of active liquidation, par ticularly through Wall street brokers, and the lowest level of the day was reached in the late trading. when ac- tive months sold about 13 to Is points under the closing figures of yesterday.
 Reports that the National Ginners' Association made the condition of the crop 691, compared with their report of 76 per cen. last month. indicating less deterioration than had been an ticipated in view of the mid-month's report of CHA per cent, undoubtedly contributed to the late break when sentiment was also influenced by re- ports of lower southern spot markets and of increased southern hedging.
 Cotton futures closed barely steady.

 DuN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Sept. FIR. c. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Proof accumulates on every hand of a developing national prosperity, broad, wholesome and quite independ- ent of controversial issues that usually breed uncertainty and hesitation. Many years have passed since there has been unanimity of testimony as to the widening of business activity. Even some of the lines which have been tagging are now developing the same progressive spirit which for some time has existed in the iron and steel industry and is making that trade break all previous records. Consumption has not only overtaken production, but is rapidly pressing ahead of it, and in some important points scarcity of facilities. scarcity of labor and scarcity of transportation appear as the inevitable accompani- ment of an accommodating demand.
 In the iron and steel trasle the pres sure in the market for deliveries is reflected in the sharp demand for pig iron this week, quotations tending high CT and the market as whole being in a very strong position Orders con tinue to come in freely and the mills are provided practically to the close of the year. Merchant pipe. steel bars and sheets are in urgent request and the movement of plates and shapes is heavy. Heavy buying Of rails for next years deliyry continues. As the pres ent need for new supplies is urgent, the outlook for the new year is partic- ularly promising. Crude steel mate rial is scarce and premiums are paid for immediat delivery.
 Copper products and consumption are both enormous. Not only is the distribution of dry goods In the various branches of the trade larger than last year, bur the leading merchants are looking forward to q year Of general prosperity. Conditions in the shoe trade are now tending to the same degree of activity. The great middle west is experiencing all the benefits Ecf big crop year. The Pacific north, west is rejoicing in a revival of the lumber industry Building operations continue active in many of the large cities Heavy rains have interfered to some extent with retail distrlbu- tion. but this Is merely temporary.

RRADsTREET's REPORT.

New York, Sept. -Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Buying in person, by mail order or through the medium of road sales, maintains activity in the various lines Of dfstributive trade. Shipments on orders previously booked are going forward in volume, and one of the most significant features of the gen eral situation is the insistent call for prompt deliveries which indicates that stocks do not lag superfiuous on pur- veyors' shelves. In host of lines one hears the expression that conditions as regards sales, ar better than for some years past. Withal buyers are not making large forward commit ments, probably fearing future polit ical developments, but within the week purchasing of heavy winetI goods became more animated, a touch of frost in parts of the west, north west and southwest having been the stimulating factor.
 The shortage of cars is. becoming more noteworthy, industrial operations are moving along at brisk rate, labor continues in very scant supply and col lctions range from fair to good, al though payments from the south are still slow, chiefly because of wet weather and the lateness of the cotton crop.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending Sept. 26 were 22S against 279 last week PAS in the like week of 1911, 211 in 1910, l95 in 1909 and 225 in 1908.
 Business failures in Canada for the week number 23, which compares with r in the previous week and 27 in the same week year ago.
