Warehouse Company is Organized.
Officers and Directors.

The organization of the Bamberg
Cotton Warehouse company was conf
pleted Friday last, when meeting
of the stockholders was held. The
following officers were elected:
President, w. D. Road; vice presi-
dents, G. Frank Bamberg and c. B.
Free: secretary and treasurer, H. NJ.
Graham; directors: w. D. Road. G.
Frank Bamberg. c. B. Free, H. NJ.
Graham. J. w. Stokes, D. F. Hooton,
James Aldrich Wyman, W. NJ. Brab-
ham. c.. R. Brabham. G. Moye Dick
inson; bylaws committee: G. Moye
Dickinson. H. NJ. Graham: building
committee: J. w. Stokes, c. E. Free,
G. Frank Bamberg.
The charter will be secured at
once, material for the warehouse has
been ordered, and within the next
few days cotton will be received for
storage. The company will not wait
until the entire building is completed
to receive cotton, but storage will be
commenced as soon as the ground
floor is laid.
A warehouseman and night watch
man will be elected within the next
few days. These officers, with the
secretary and treasurer, will be bond
ed. Receipts for storage of cotton in
the warehouse will be recognized by
any bank, and advances will be made
on such cotton stored.
The company wishes it understood
that all parties, whether stockhold-
ers or not, may store cotton in the
warehouse; and cotton will be wei
coined from anyone, whether a resi-
dent of this county or not.
To begin with storage facilities for
1000 bales will be provided, and the
warehouse will be added on to from
time to time as the demand is in
creased.

The Carlisle School and Cotton.

Head Master Guilds furnishes The
Herald the following, which is self
explanatory:
A very important meeting of the
local board of control of Carlisle
school was held Monday afternoon
at which the present financial situa-
ton in the South was discussed. The
men behind the Carlisle school rea-
lize that many a boy and girl will be
denied the privilege Of attending
school this winter unless parents put
forth extraordinary effort and are
willing to undergo much personal
sacrifice. The Carlisle school has al
ways been run for the good it could
do and never as money-making en-
terprise. We want to do what we
can to help in the present crisis.
Prospects we're never brighter. Ap-
plications are fifty per cent. in ad-
vance of last year. We have enough
applications in hand to fill Guilds
hall, our handsome new dormitory
for boys, and to all but fill Mary Ann
Bamberg hall with girls. However,
there are Accommodations for about
forty boys in the H. J. Brabham hall
and eight more girls in the Mary Ann
Bamberg hall.
Until these places are taken the
board has agreed to accept as pay
ment two bales 1,000 pounds) of
good cotton, delivered here, at 10
cents pound and $50 cash. payable,
if desired, in six monthly payments
of $40 each, the total expense for the
year being s160.
This will make it possible for many
farmers to send their boy or girl who
could not otherwise. We advise
those interested to write at once for
room as these places will doubtless
be rapidly applied for. The session
begins September 90.

Warehousing Cotton.

The citizens of Bamberg are GER
tainly doing their part toward hold
ing cotton. Last week Ehrhardt be-
gan her warehouse to hold 1850
bales. .
The farmers around the town of
a charter and ordered the material
to begin the erection of their ware
house. 1t is expected that at this
point there will be more than 5000
bales of cotton held.
At Denmark a meeting was held
Saturday, which completed their or
ganization. A charter was applied
for. and the material has been order
ed to erect a warehouse to hold
1000 bales and they expect to hold,
around Denmark, $500 to 1000
bales.
Let the good work go on. The
farmers have long needed ware
houses, in which to store their cot
ton, so as to take care of it and sell
the cotton throughout the entire
year instead of a few months.

Barnwell-Bamberg s. s. Convention

This interesting occasion opened
it's 47th annual session at Healing
Springs Wednesday morning last and
continued in session till Friday af-
ternoon.
R. B. Fickling was reelected pres
ident; DR.. Robert Black and R. R.
Johnston, 1st and End vice presi-
dents; w. G. Britton, secretary; and
A. B. Hair, treasurer.
Thirty-three schools were repre-
sented by delegates. The attendance
was the largest ever gathered for the
occasion, from start to finish, and
much interest was manifested. The
topics for discussion we're well chosen
and lively debates grew out of some
of them.
Every one who has ever had an
opportunity of visiting this hospita-
BILE, big-hearted people want to go
again, and the convention was no ex-
ception to the rule.
Rev. w. R. Mcmillan, of Bamberg,
preached the Introductory sermon in
his usual forceful style. DR.. c. E..
Burts made an able and well studied
address.
A good many of the schools SEEM
ed to think that there was no expense
in getting up a convention of this
character and sent up no funds; trust
that next year this matter will be
considered.
The exercises on Friday evening
we're good; it would not be fair to
those taking part to make any one
more prominent than the others: all
were good. but l can't forbear men
tioning the little tot from Blackville
who talked out without nervous
tremor, little Merl Wroton. God
bless her and may she devote her
talents as she grows older aud larger
to the service of God.
The Healing Springs school gave a
dialogue; each verse representing a
letter in the word "convention,' ten
children spoke. 1t was good.
The banner for the largest con-
tribution per capita was won by Bam-
berg. The one for largest average
attendance was won by Denmark.
The next convention goes to Coils
ton. W. U. b.

l could cite hundreds and hun
dreds of just such cases. Those I
have mentioned all refer to rural
schools. I have not touched on the
conditions in the towns and in the
mills. My work is largely among
rural districts. In mill villages we
find the conditions just as bad or
worse. Little boys from six to
twelve years of age may be seen any
day in the week smoking cigarettes,
chewing tobacco, and shooting craps
around the stations and on the
streets. 1t seems to be considered
as a matter of course, and is taken
as an everyday event-which it. is.

amples to show you how determined
they are to get an education and
they are accomplishing this without
our public school aid. Compulsory
education is needed for the white
man who is too sorry and indolent
to send his children to. school but
prefers to keep them at home and in
ignorance in order that they may
make the living and allow him to
sit around and do nothing.

Work on Depot.

Material has been ordered for the
erection of the warehouse of the
Bamberg Cotton Warehouse COM
pany. 1t is expected that the ware
house will be ready for storage of
cotton in a few days. AS has already
been stated in The Herald, the ware
house will simply be an enclosed lot
with temporary covering--the whole
can be built in a short time. Imme-
diate relief is sought, and the farm
ers will be enabled to draw on cot
ton stored in any approved ware
house.

The School Question.

Editor Bamberg ald:-My work
has taken me into the following
counties: Aiken, Chester, Darling
ton, Williamsburg, Florence, Lexing-
ton, Berkeley, Union, Greenwood,
Greenville, parts of Chesterfield, Sa-
luda, Edgefeld and Barnwell. In
every county l have found the
amount of illiteracy to be appalling.
In Lexington county two years ago,
white woman who lived within one
mile of a school told me that neither
she nor her husband could read or
write. Her children, eight in num-
ber, had never been to school. l was
told this by her when / gave her
medicine with printed directions.
asked her to get her neighbor to read
the directions and she told me fam
lily of negroes lived near and she
could get one of them to read the
directions for her. Could anything
be more notifying to a white citizen
of South Carolina?
Two months ago at Monetta, in
Aiken county, l found the white
school closed and the negro school
running. When / asked why this
was ! was told that the public school
funds for the negroes had been ex-
hausted two months previous but
they were now running the school
on private subscriptions. In another
county l found this same condition.
The negroes were paying the teacher
ten cents per week for each child.
In Clarendon county this week l
was told by trustee of a school dis
trict that the white school in his dis
trict the past year had seventeen
pupils and that the negro school had
one hundred and twenty-seven. He
also told me that the negro school
ran only three months and the white

school closed a night school was
opened by them and is still in ses-
sion. To this night school are going
grown negro men and women and
ten cents per capita is charged each
week by the teacher.
In Berkeley county at one school
house where no school was in session
| in November, l asked how long the
school term was and trustee told
me that it ran only three weeks the
year before.
Some time ago a father with his
sixteen-year-old son came into my Of
fee. The boy was lad with good
intelligent face, and had the misfor-
tune to have his right hand cut on
three years ago. Neither the father
nor the son could read or write.
asked why he did not send his boy
to school-they lived within stones
throw of the school house. l tried
to explain to him that this boy with

nOuncement.

Thursday night Percy White, a
negro, tried to commit suicide in the
county Jail. White was committed
some days previous, the authorities
believing that he was insane. Thurs
day night he broke one of the win
dow panes and cut himself in the
throat. DR.. H. J. Stuckey was hur-
riedly called, and he succeeded in
stopping the flow of blood. 1t was
thought one time that the negro
would not recover, but it is now be-
lieved that the injury is not serious.

GRADED SCHOOL OPENS.
About go Pupils Enrolled on Open
ing Day.

The Bamberg graded school began
the session of 1914-15 Monday Sept.
7. The prospects are the brightest.
Many parents and other visitors
were present ct the opening exer-
cises. The Rev w. R. Mcmillan and
DR.. J. B. Black made suggestive and
encouraging talks which were appre-
ciated and enjoyed.
We are much pleased with the en-
rollment of about 250 pupils. But
We are particularly happy to see the
entire tenth grade of last year return
ing to the eleventh grade this year
This is a wise step. Our school offers
the best opportunity for excellent
preparation. Our graduates do well
and never regret having finished the
whole course. We would like to see
this become a custom-enter the
high school and finish the course.
Our faculty is strong. All OF
them have diplomas from one good
institution. Many Of them have done
postgraduate work.
We feel that we are beginning the
year under the best conditions and
we bespeak a session full of the
finest results.
As many of our teachers are OF
the same alma mater as others of
our town and as we all love the "col-
lege tie that binds" l shall give the
institutions attended by each. The
decree received will follow the COL
lege from which each was graduated:
