To Build Episcopal Church.

A movement is being agitated
to erect an Episcopal church in Bam-
berg. There are number of mem
bers of the Episcopal denomination
in the city, and under the leadership
of Rev. A. E. Evison, of Barnwell, it
is hoped that in the near future a
church building can be erected.
Mr.. A. NJ. Denbow received a let
ter from Mr.. Evison few days ago,
in which it was stated that if the
Episcopalians here would make con-
tributions toward the erection of a
church, the Diocese would lend finan-
cial assistance toward this end.
1t is contemplated to erect the
church on the Simmons estate, on
Railroad avenue, and permission has
been secured to locate the church
there. Rev. Mr.. Evison will begin
next Sunday to hold Episcopal SER
vices here each first and third Sun
day evenings, in the Presbyterian
church.

We have passed on all bills hand
ed us by the solicitor. We have
visited all of the Offices and find the
books of the officers neatly kept. The
Jail and surroundings iare very neat
and sanitary. We are delighted to
report that the county's finances are
in fine shape, there being now about
fourteen thousand dollars out on in
terest, and all of the public schools
are running and teachers are being
paid promptly.
Learning that there are women Of
questionable character in and near
Bamberg, whose behavior is inju-
rious to the welfare of society, we
recommend that the proper officers
of the law look into this matter and
put a stop to same.
We also recommend that all towns
