The fall session of the Bamberg
graded school commences next Mon
day morning. Every child who will
attend school should be present on
the opening day and start work with |
the others. Parents have little idea |
how it handicaps their children to
keep them out of school for a few |
weeks at the commencement of a !
session,
Headmaster Guilds states that the
outlook for a large enrolment at
the Carlisle School is most encourage
ing. Indications at present are that
the school will enjoy the largest en-
rollment in the boarding department
in it's history. When the new dor
mitory, which is progressing rapidly,
is completed the school will be one of
the best equipped in the State.
Miss Beulah HERS, of Hampton,
has been employed to teach the prl-
mary classes at the Carlisle School
for the coming session. Miss HERS
is a graduate of the Carlisle School
and of Winthrop College, where she
did special work in the primary de-
partment. The school authorities
consider themselves fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Miss HERS.
The dry weather continues, and
cotton is opening rapidly in this Sec
ton. 1t is being gathered and mar
keted at a rapid rate, and the re-
ceipts at this market were very large
last week for the time of year, nearly
two hundred bales being received
last Saturday. Prices are good, and
many farmers are already paying up
their debts contracted during the
summer. The outlook for business
this fall is very bright.
The contract for boxes and equip
ment for the Bamberg post office has
been let to the Leesville Mfg. Co.
This firm does high class work, and
they will give the Office an equipment
second to none. The screen work
and boxes will be of quarter sawed
oak. highly polished, and the over
head work will be of glass in panels.
Altogether the outfit will be of the
very best, and it will no doubt be
big advertisement for the LeesVllle
people, as this class of work has
heretofore been done exclusively by
Northern firms.
