Dispensaries Sold Out.

Those depending on the county
dispensaries to furnish the supply OF
whiskey for the holidays were doom
ed to disappointment-that is unless
they purchased before last Thursday.
for on that day the last bottle at the
Bamberg dispensary was Sold For
some days previous, the dispensary
had had nothing in the line of whis-
key but high-priced goods, and
though the sale on these was slow
even the high-priced went very readi-
ly as Christmas approached. The
county is now dry, all the dispen-
saries having closed out their stocks.
The county dispensary board is
now winding up the affairs of the
dispensary, under the law, which re-
quires that after January first all
dispensaries, whether or not they
have disposed of all the stocks, must
discontinue business. The stocks in
the county being all sold out, the
Bamberg county dispensary is now
winding up it's affairs.

4 Quiet Christmas.

Christmas in Bamberg passed off
very quietly, no accidents worthy OF
mention occurring. Practically every
body in town observed the day as a
holiday, all the stores and public en-
terprises being closed either all day
or for the greater part of the day
The crowd in the city on Christmas
eve, composed largely of negroes, was
exceptionally orderly. The chief Of
police stated that he saw but three
drunken persons during the day,
which was considered remarkably
good considering the large crowd.
With the exception of one or two
minor disturbances, there was no dis
orderly conduct. The banks of the
city observed both Saturday and Mon
day as holidays. Excepting the
banks, all business was resumed
Monday morning as usual.

away. These forests built the ships
of Egypt, of Greek Syrian rules, of
Asia Minor cities, and Of Turks, and
all that remains of their once much
heralded glory are the pine growths
on the mountains. Today the whole
central plain is bare and treeless, and
with the extinction of the forests
many disadvantages of climate have
come upon the land, so that Cyprus
of the present is not the bright home
for men so bravely praised by the
Greeks of classic times. 1t is, never
theless, valuable land, and much of
it's former splendor could be brought
back to it by the proper administra-
tion and development. The English
have already begun this work of re-
habitation.
THE population of the island is
estimated at 100000, Greeks and
Turks. The chief towns are Nicosia,
the capital, with $4,000 inhabitants,
the largest city, Limasol and Larna-
ca. Most of the people gain their
livelihoods by agriculture. The meth
ods employed are almost as ancient as
are the traditions of the island, and
the inhabitants are sturdily opposed
to innovation. The olive, mulberry,
grains, grapes, and other fruits, oil
seeds, cotton and all sorts of vegeta-
bles are grown. Numerous steps
have been undertaken for the recla-
nation of the soil, so fruitful of old,
and many acres have been brought
back under cultivation. In passing,
it may be stated, that the miles of
Cyprus have found favor in all O"
Britain's wars since that waged
against Russia in the Crimea.
Cyprus does an, annual trade Of
about s1,500,00O. 1t is handicapped
in the development of it's commerce
owing to a want of natural harbors
and to an eastern fatalism too thor
oughly learned to permit of much
initiative. Since the British occupa-
tion some energy has been brought
into the little land, but there still re-
mains great deal to accomplish be-
fore a west Europe commerce and
business management can become in
digenous. Great Britain administers
Cyprus through high commissioner,
with the powers of colonial COVER

Captured Whiskey.

Last Friday Sheriff Ray confiscated
twenty-four quarts of whiskey from
two negroes. The sheriff received in
formation that there would probably
be an attempt to transport some
whiskey to Bamberg from Cope, the
supply of "good cheer" being ex-
hausted in Bamberg, and he set
watch near the river, and when the
suspected automobiles, two in num-
Der, appeared coming from the di-
rection of Cope, he stopped them. Be
tween the two machines, he found "a
quarts, which he confiscated. Hav-
ing no proof that the whiskey would
be sold, no arrests were made. This
is the first whiskey haul to be made
since the county went dry.

Alleged Robbers Caught.

Last Thursday night, Chief Of Po-
lice Miley, with the assistance of
some citizens, arrested two white
men who were wanted at Branchville
on a charge of robbery. There were
three in the. crowd, one making his
escape. The two were carried back
to Branchville Friday morning to
answer the charge against them. The
chief received message from
Branchvil1e just before the arrival of
the night passenger train to be on
the lookout for the men riding the
blind The men were sighted, and
two of them were caught when they
tried to jump. from the train and
make getaway It was stated that
the men attempted to rob lady on
the train at or near Branchville.

THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS.
One of the Most Important in the
Mediterranean Sea.

Cyprus is one of the most import
ant islands in the Mediterranean,
says a bulletin given out recently
by the National sGeographic society,
which describes England's reported
offer to the Greeks for their aid in
the world-war. There are just two
islands in the broad inland sea larger
than Cyprus, and these are Sicily and
Sardinia. There are few islands in
the world more rich in historical as
sociations, and none, probably, more
coveted by powerful neighbor.
''The island lies in the mouth, Of q
pocket formed by Asia Minor and
Syria at the northeastern end of the
Mediterranean, being about equally
distant from the mainland to the
north and to the east. 1t has an area
of 1854 square miles. or is as large
as the states of Delaware and Rhode
Island combined. It's greater length
is 141 miles and it's greater width is
so miles, while it's average width is
more than 35 miles. A great part OF
the island is taken up by two noun
tain ranges, one of which fills much
of the southern and central part, and
the other of which stretches along
the northern coast.
"The coast of Asia Minor lies 40
miles to the north, and that of Syria
between so and 55 miles to the east.
Although nominally a possession OF
the Ottoman empire up until the out
break of hostilities between the
Turks and the Allies, Cyprus has been
administered by Great Britain since
1878, and now forms an internal part
of the British empire. England occu-
patton has done much to improve the
conditions of health on the island, as
it has been a stimulus to the CONNER
cial development.
'The mountains of the island are
wild and beautiful and upon their
sides the forests are still growing
that were famed and priced in early
Egyptian times. TheHals contain the
mines of copper, celebrated among
the ancients and still richly produc"
tive. The highest altitude is attain
ed by Mount Troodes, with a summit
6.4O6 feet above sea level.
"a wide valley runs east and west
through the central part of the island.
This valley is about 60 miles long,
with a breadth varying from o to 20
miles. The mountain ranges on eth
er-side send their waters to the val
lev through intermittent torrents.
Much of this lowland is uncultivated, d,
though in the northern parts grain is
grown. The soil of the whole valley
is good, and there is no reason why
the uncertain water supply might not
be supplemented, bringing, all of the
land under cultivation. In the days
when western civilization was in it's
swaddling clothes, Cyprus was widely
known for it's impossible forests,
which not only clothed the sides and
SUBMITS of it's mountains with thick
dark masses of green, but which over
grew the whole floor of the valley be-
tween with such an interlacing stur-
DIV tangle of trees and undersrush,
that it was difficult to clear the land
for cultivation.
"The wonderful forests of the land,
however, in more than 1000 years of
exploitation, that have passed over
them have been almost entirely cut
