HAD FINE EXHIBIT.
Mr.. W. B. Chitty Had Fine Display
at the State Fair.

Bambers county was represented
at the State fair in Columbia last
week by 2 most creditable exhibit.
prepared by Mr. W. B. Chitty, OF
Clar. The exhibit consisted o. farm
products grown by Mr.. Chitty, every
thing practically that can be grown
on a Bamberg farm being shown.
Those who saw the exhibit describe
it as being one of the best displays
of the entire fair, and MIR. Chitty is
due the thanks of the people of the
county for his efforts in preparing
the exhibit. Mr.. Chitty is himself
one of the county's foremost farmers,
and he has proven concluslve!y by
his exhibit at the fair that it is not
necessary to send much money out OF
the county for home and farm sup
pies, for nearly everything needed
can be grown right at home. 1t is
stated that this is the first time
Bamberg county has been represent
ed at the fair in Columbia. Although
Mr.. Chitty is as good a cotton farm
er asa"raise-your-own-supplies' as a far
mer, he did not feature cotton in his
exhibit, as this is not calculated to
be a time for telling the Southern
farmer much about cotton.

Civic League Meeting.

The regular meeting OF the Civic
league was not held last month as
an unusually important and interest
ing programme was being prepared
for the next meeting, and it was
deemed best that more time be given
for preparation.
This meeting will be held next
Thursday afternoon at four o'clock,
the place to be designated later.
Each member of the league is urged
to attend and every lady in town,
who is at all interested in civic af-
fairs, is invited to be present.
Special papers will be read on the
following subjects: What the Civic
League has done for Bamberg,' y
What might be accomplished
through cooperation of the munich
pal powers and citizens with the
League" and What it takes to make
a successful league" These papers
will all be short and still will show
not only that good has been accom-
plished. by the league but that it has
offered to do other things for the
town, asking only little help from
the town council, this help never be-
ing given.
The cook books will be in hand
at this meeting and each member is
asked to try and bring in one extra
order for a book, even though she
may have disposed of the required
three or more. Quite a number OF
books are still on hand and it de-
pends on the interest Of the mem
bers whether they are sold or not.
Those who still have books unsold,
are requested to make an especial
effort to dispose of them before this
meeting.

GENERAL ELECTION.
Held All Over Country Tuesday
Bond Issue Not Voted On.

Tuesday the general election was
held in Bamberg county-as we'll as
all over the State and country. The
election was a dull ocassion in this
city and county, and the vote was
very light. The election was with
out incident.
Eleven amendments to the State
constitution were voted upon, nearly
all of them being Of local nature.
A Socialist ticket had been nominal
ed for all State offices, but the tickets
were not generally distributed
throughout the State. In fact few
persons even knew there was a So
cialist ticket.
The bond issue was not voted up
on-at least not in this county. The
tickets had been prepared, and we're
shipped to one of the county officers
here. but as he had no instructions to
do so, they were not distributed. The
bill fell through because the governor
took advantage of his constitutional
authority by holding the measure for
three days consideration. The three
days were not up until some hours
after the polls closed.

mains were inferred at Sprinstown

years ago. Mr.. c. 3. Free. of this
city, was half-brother.
Mr.. Free was stricken with para
lysis about two and half years ago,
and never. recovered. Some months
ago he was again stricken and had
been confined to his bed up to the
time of his death.
The deceased was veteran Of the
war between the sections. Early in
the war he went to Coles island to
enlist in the service of his country,
but was rejected because he was un-
der age. He very reluctantly re-
turned to his home, remaining about
a year, when he went to the front to
act as substitute for his father, serv-
ing in the artillery corps. He made
one of the best soldiers in the South
ern cause, serving through the re-
mainder of the war. He returned TO
his home without injury, though he
was in some of the bloodiest battles
of the mighty conflict.
While he had never become men,
Der of any church, he took a keen
interest in the affairs of the Spring
town church; was true and loyal
citizen, and had scores of friends
throughout the county.

Gin Caught on Fire.

Tuesday the ginnery of Mr.. D.
Bowling, located on his plantation a
few miles from the city, caught on
fire. The fire was extinguished with
but little damage. 1t is thought the
fire was caused from match in some
seed cotton being ginned. The gin
was slightly damaged, and several
bales of cotton in the seed were
scorched, but not badly damaged.

BERLIN, March "A fraH and
lettering woman in black stepped
from a train In Handkerchief, In
Rhineland, and half carried, half led
passed down the garlanded high
street to a house on which hung a
wreath inscribed welcome Home"
She was Frau Hamm, the middle
eyed widow of farmer, and she had
Just been released after serving Ave
and one-half years penal servitude
In Siegburg Prison, where she was
undergoing a sentence Of fourteen
years for alleged completely in the
murder Of her husband.
The courts, In response TO Par1ia-
mentary pressure. decided that the
prisoner was entitled to a retriai, on
the strength Of evidence that she was
wrongly convicted.
Although Handkerchief was en- fete
in her honor. Frau Hamm, unable to
comprehend the meaning of her tri-
umphal Homecoming, could neither
laugh nor cry. A nervous twitchlns
was the only expression of her emo
tons. Her brother. who went to the
station to fetch her, hardly recognized
her, and his greeting was alhysterical
outburst of tears,
Z Frau Hamm gave no sign of realiz-
ing her surroundings until curly
haired boy of six advar ced reluctantly
with a bouquet. He had to be pushed
toward the woman, whose appearance
frightened him. The boy was her
second child He was only fortnight
old when she was arrested, and she
had not seen him since. When friends
made her understand he was her son.
she drew the boy passionately to her
breast and smothered him with
kisses.
The conviction Of Frau Hamm Is
now attributed to the zeal OF detec-
tive who Is said to have set himself to
the task OF convicting her at all costs.
Two farfnhands now in custody are
believed to be the real authors OF
the murder.

I'm fact, / know q number of fash

special circumstances manage with
considerably less than that; but for
an American woman newly arrived In
London to do likewise would be i'm
possible. a1 Iis sFs
THE popularity of American wom-
en- here is steadily growing. Eng
fish society likes American brains.
They give a certain snap to social
functions that adds immeasurably TO
the piquancy of the occasion. 1t is
something in the personality of an
American woman that is largely re-
sponsible for her prominence abroad.
1t is a native something that is ac-
quired only in America, and for this
reason, if for no other, it seems a
pity that so many American mothers
are allowing their children to be edu-
Gated in Europe.
Accent a Drawback.
American women coming to Lon
don are often handicapped socially by
the American accent, which is consid-
cred here to be very bad form. II
seems to me that for this drawback
there is no excuse. Every girl ought
to be brought up tc speak pure Eng
fish and not a colloquial dialect. When
was a girl my father insisted that !
speak the pure tongue, and every time
made a slip I was summarlly sent
to clean my teeth, to wash away the
sion to which had been indiscreet
enough TO give utteranee.
The American woman who has
married into European nobility often
has been accused of selling herself for
the sake of title. However true
that might have been In years gone
by, o-day the woman OF our country
who marries a, title from mere ambit
tious motives is, extremely rare. Many
women do leave America to become
the wives of foreign noblemen, not
because IL was a distinguished man
who has won a bride, and not because
of the ancient name and the title, but
because OF the admirable qualities OF
the man himself
ut must be remembered that the
American woman, of all women. is the
cosmopolitan, and IL needs scarcely to
be wondered at IL she attracted all
manner Of men from the four corr
ners of the earth.
when married out OF her native
land she does not expatriate herself.
she merely goes out into the world to
do an Americans work abroad
