Raised Rice This Season.

Mr.. w. F. Hughes, who lives on
route one, was in the Office Tuesday.
He brought with him sheaf Of rice,
which he pulled from a two-acre
field he has in rice this year. The
rice is a fine specimen, measuring
about four feet in height, and the
heads are we'll filled out, being from
seven to nine inches in length. Mr..
Hughes says that he should harvest
something like rs bushels from the
field. It is stated that the lands
about Bamberg are splendidly adapt.
ed for the cultivation of rice, and
that it may be easily and successful
ly grown here. It is stated that many
years ago rice. was grown somewhat
extensively hereabouts, but with the
advance in price of cotton years ago,
rice was forgotten when the cotton
fever struck the South. 1t is to be
hoped that the rice industry may be
revived here, and that the farmers
will at least plant enough for their
own consumption. The prevailing
price for rice in bulk is about $3.50
per bushel, and at this price good
money may be realized from its cul-
tivation.

Large Enrolment Registered OF
Opening Day.-Work Arranged.

Carlisle School opened the 1918
1915 session Wednesday morning,
having on the opening day large
enrolment, and the most promising
outlook in the history of the school.
Students have been arriving at the
school auditoriums since Monday
and every indication points to a rec
ord-breaking session from every
standpoint. Notwithstanding the fl
nancial depression, the enrolment
this session will be larger than at
any session since the school was
founded. Both Guilds hall and the

The County Barn.

The location of the county barn,
now being erected by Supervisor Nc
MILAN, was the subject of discussion
during the sitting of the grand jury
this week. The barn, the erection
of which was begun some time ago.
the foundation now being laid, is
located just in the rear of the court
house grounds. Mrs. c. J. S. Brook
er, whose property is near the site
of the barn, objected to it's location
on the ground that it spoiled the
appearance of the court house square
and was also detrimental to her prop
erty. A petition, asking that the
location Of the barn be changed, was
presented to the grand jury, and af-
ter considering the matter the
grand jury recommended that the
barn be located near the Jail, and
that no blame be attached to the SUI
pervisor for locating the barn on the
court house square,.

Gives Almost Two to One Against
Dispensaly.

The commissioners of State and
county elections for Bamberg county
met at the court house on Saturday
and canvassed the vote cast in the
prohibition referendum election on
September 14th. The total vote poll
ed was $50, of which 44S voted for
Statewide prohibition and 232 vot-
ed for the continuance of local op-
ton. The prohibitionists lacked just
16 votes of casting twice as many
as the local optionists. Colston and
Midway voted for the dispensary, be-
ing the only boxes in the county
registering a majority against State
wide prohibition. The biggest ma
jority cast for prohibition was at
Kearse, where the vote was 80 for
prohibition and one for the dispen-
sary. The vote by boxes follows:

Stockholders Meeting.

On Monday the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Bamberg Cot
ton Mills company was held at the
mill. The meeting was well attend
ed. The report of the president,
Mr.. Verdery, of Augusta, was pre-
sented and discussed. The same
board of directors was reelected. The
mill, it was reported, like most other
cotton mills, has not made a profit
for some time, but with the recent
change in the grade of goods manu-
factured, it was expected that the
mill would be in better financial
condition. The manufacture of the
new grade of cotton goods can be
carried on with lower grades of cot
ton than formerly, and it is thought
that this will be of benefit to the
mill.
After the stockholders meeting
the board of directors held a meet
ing, at which all of the present Of
ficers were reelected.

NATURAL COLOR COTTON.
Mr.. A. W. Brabham Attracts Nation
wide Attention.

That South Carolinian who an
nounces he has produced cotton OF
warm tan, yellow green, light brown,
olive green and bronze colors, and is
sanguine he will produce black cot
ton in the near future, has solved
the dyestuff problem, in part at
least, if his statement is true. Luth-
er Burbank thinks it doubtful that
black cotton can be produced this
generation, if ever.
Still, is is possible South Carolina
has a Burbank or possibly even a
greater than Burbank. Americans,
at least, will wish him success in his
efforts to produce natural cotton COL
ors. Natures alchemy certainly is
capable of producing more beautiful
tints and colors than any German or
Swiss chemist in his laboratory, but
so far the open sesame to the secrets
of her color scheme has not been
found. And natures colors are
FAST" they do not run, and her
mordants do their work with a per-
fection no laboratory can achieve.
\ But natures laboratory secrets are
carefully guarded. She fashions her
colors in accordance with laws which
the greatest chemists only happen
upon occasionally, as in the discov-
cry of the coal tar colors. The best
the chemists could do, even in that
case, was by the painful process of
the synthetic production of alizarine
from it's constituent elements.
To get nature herself to perform
this work would be one of the great
est triumphs of science in modern
times. In fact, it is so great that it
will require abundant demonstration
and confirmation before the world
and cotton growers especially, can
be convinced that the South Caro-
linian's reported discovery is gen.
uine.-New York Sun.

Suffers Injured Foot.

One day last week Mr.. S. W. San
differ suffered painful cut on the
foot while cutting wood. The piece
of wood was considerably decayed,
and when he swung a heavy blow
with the axe, it went through the
wood and cut long ugly cash in
the foot. A small artery was sever
ed, and Mr.. Sandifer was weakened
from loss of blood. A day or two
later the cut developed into a serious
wound and Mr.. Sandifer had to be
carried to a hospital in Charleston
on Saturday. His many friends hope
for him an early recovery.
Information from Charleston Tues
day was to the effect that Mr.. Sandi'
fer was considerably improved.

He had another one that weighed
5 Ia pounds. Mr.. Hughes also has
several acres of the same variety OF
potatoes, and has realized q good
yield. Mr.. Hughes says that ne
wishes that he had planted larger
acreage, as he has found a good mar

A New Well for Carlisle.

All efforts to restore the flow OF
water at the Carlisle school we'll
have met with failure. After work
ing for several days on the we'll last
week, the attempt to restore the we'll
was abandoned, and it is stated that
another well will be bored for the
school. Work will commence, it is
expected, right away, and good ar
tesian water will be supplied the
school in few days. It is thought
that the piping in the old we'll has
rusted out and caved in, preventing
a flow of water or the passage of a
drill through it.

Cotton in Natural COlOrs.

Instead of having to dye cotton,
we may in future grow it in what
ever color we desire. Colored cot
ton is already grown in various parts
of the world, and we have only to
assemble the colored varieties in our
own country, and produce interme-
date tints by interbreeding, to OBJ
tain the result suggested above. In
order that this may be brought
about, of course, the different color
ed varieties must breed true; that is,
the seeds of yellow, green, or red
cotton must always produce cotton
of that one particular color. That
this is true, and that the colors are
not due to the influence of soil or
other environment, have been proved
by A. w. Brabham, plant breeder,
of Olar, South Carolina. Says a
writer in New York World Sunday
Magazine:
'"The production of cotton tinted
by nature with any color desired is
the newest and most revolutionary
departure attempted in the cotton
growing industry, and one which may
have far-reaching effects in the Unit
ed States.
Commercially, the achievement
of natural colors in cotton would OBJ
viate the use of chemical dyes,
which, besides their expense, are
said to damage the fabric of the
cheaper varieties of cotton-stuffs.
With the perfection of the new pro-
cess it would be possible to feed to
the looms, to suit any design, cotton
threads colored by nature with tints
which could not fade.
"The leading apostle of colored
cottons is "A. w. Brabham, of Olar,
S. c.. He points out what is scarcely
known to the American public-ac-
ouainted only with white cotton
that already there exist species of
cotton of many various hues.
Besides the white cotton OF the
United States, Peru produces a cot
ton with reddish lint; brown cotton
is grown in Egypt, Peru, and Hawaii;
yellow cotton is produced in China;
and India has gray cotton. In ad-
dition, a green cotton has been
evolved in South Carolina, and even
a iet-black cotton is said to have
been developed in Mexico. c. H.
Clarke, of Boston, has written to
Brabham that it has proved feasible
in laboratory experiments to produce
blue cotton.
"Brabham's chief contribution to
the introduction of colored cottons
is his proof that the different species,
whether from Peru, Egypt, or China,
| will breed true to color in whatever
soil they are planted. It was at first
thought that the hues Of the lint
we're due to peculiarities of the earth
in which the cotton grew. But by
experiments in South Carolina, ne
has established that the seed from
gray cotton in India produces gray
cotton wherever planted; and that
| the same is true of red cotton from
Peru, yellow cotton from China, and
brown cotton from Egypt. 1t is we'll
established that white cotton from
North Carolina or Texas also remains
white cotton in the tropics.
The American experimenter' may
thus have at his dfsposai eight or
ferent hues of cotton-whlte, reo'
brown, yellow, gray, green, blue and
black. According to Brabham, by in
terbreeding it will be possible to
blend these colors into all the inter-

June and Matrimonx.

The first people to adopt the month
Of June as sacred to Hymen. the god OF
marriage, were the ancient Romans.
who considered June the most propi-
tious season of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The Ro-
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con-
tracted in any other month Of the year,
especially II the day chosen were tina,
of the full moon or the conjunction Of
the sun and moon. They also held
that of all months May was to be most
avoided. as In that month newlywedi
would come under the influence OF spir
tts adverse to happy households. Thes'
ancient marriage superstitions were re
tanned by the Christians In the middle
ages, and even today June is consid
