Herewith is presented for the first
time the official returns Of the No

Total party votes, comparisons OF
present and past strength, the in
crease and decrease of party power
in representative States, and doz-
en- other features of the record OF
American politics for the past two
years are especially interesting at
present. on account of the great po-
litical upheaval which upset politi-
cal calculations two years ago, gave
birth to new political party. which
polled 4.119.507 votes at its first
election, relegated the party which
had been in power for years to third
position, and placed Woodrow Will
son and the Democrats in power at
Washington.

veal much concerning the aftermath
OF the upheaval, and on them may
be built many political conjectures
regarding the political probabilities
of 1916. The parties have been re-
adjusting themselves. Between one

Mrs. Ann E. Matthews, who died
in Blackville on last Thursday, was

In many respects she was woman
of remarkable character. She was
born a member of the Rice family
which was so we'll known in what is
now Bamberg county. In her early
life she was married to Mr.. G. C. Mat
thews, who was killed in the service
of the Confederacy and buried near
Battery Wagner. To be left widow
with eight children and to raise them
to manhood and womanhood in the
trying years that Immediately sue
ceeded the war did not deter her.
She was possessed of high ideals and
an untiring energy and retained her
vigor until her life ended at the close
of her Saith year. She was one Of the
charter members of the Williston
Baptist church and was loyal and
consistent member of it until her
death. Four of her children died be-
fore her but she is survived by Mr..
John C. Matthews, of Blackville, Mr.
G. c. Matthews, Mrs. NJ. T. Willis
and Mrs. J. NJ. Hair, of Williston.
Her pallbearers were selected from
her grandchildren. In addition to
these she is survived by a large num-
Der of great-grandchildren. After
the funeral services, conducted by
her pastor, DR.. w. NJ. Jones, the in
terment was made in the family lot
in the Williston cemetery.

Mr.. Green Buys Hotel.

The friends in Bamberg of Mr.. 7.
A. Green, who formerly resided here,
will be interested in the following
from the Wilmington, N. c., Star:
MIR. T. A. Green, of this city, is
now sole proprietor of the Whining
ton hotel, having purchased the in
terest of his partner, Mr.. R. c.. Gres-
ham, of Spartanburg, S. c. The deal
was consummated some days ago, but
the formal papers in the transaction
were not filed for record until yes
terday.
According to the agreement filed
in the Office of the register of deeds
Yesterday, the price paid Mr.. Gres-
ham for his interest in the hotel was
$4,000 and this includes his inter
est in the hotel building, the real es-
tate on which it is located, also in a
house and lot adjoining and in all
furniture, fixtures, etc.
The transaction, it was stated by
Mr.. Green last evening, will involve
no changes in the personnel of the
management and staff of the hotel.
MIR. Ham Adams, who has been in
charge as manager ever since the
Wilmington opened last summer, will
continue in this capacity.
The Wilmington was built by Mr..
Green and Mr.. c. Gresham, Of. Mt.
Airy, N. c., and was first operated
under their joint ownership. Later
Mr.. C. Gresham sold his interest in
the property and business to his son
Mr.. R. C. Gresham, of Spartanburg,
S. c., who in turn sold to Mr.. Green
The Wilmington is the city's new
est hotel, and is a handsome and
modern structure Since it opened

and favorably known among the trav-
cling public all over the country, and
it commands large share OF the pat
ronage of those visiting Wilmington. y

PITHIANS GET TOGETHER.
Enjoyable Smoker Given on Last
Monday Evening.

Bamberg lodge, No. 3S. Knights OF
Pythias, entertained about forty of
their members and friends at an in
formal smoker in their spacious lodge
rooms on last Monday night, and it
is believed that no more pleasant oc-
casion has been enjoyed at any time
by the knights or their friends.
This function was the outgrowth
Of an idea which originated among
members of the order at a meeting
a few weeks ago, at which time it
was decided that in future there
would be held at intervals such get
together" meetings as stimulus to
the interest of members and prospec-
tive members of the order, and to
promote good fellowship generally.
That this first attempt was crown
ed with such success is looked upon
as a splendid omen and many pre-
dict that the future will witness good
work along the lines of exemplifying
the cardinal principles Of Pythianism
by the local lodge.
DR.. J. B. Black. one of the most
faithful and valued members of the
order, as we'll as one of the oldest in
point of membership, presided, and,
after the Knights and their guests
had partaken of a delightful sand
wich course. presented the speakers
of the evening in his happy fashion.
DR.. E. o. Watson, who was the
principal speaker of the evening, de-
livered an inspiring address and was
followed by number of others, all of
whom brought some thought or sug-
gestion of value for the advancement
of the order and of the community in
general and all were well received.
TO the ladies who so generously
gave of their time and talent in pre-
paration of the refreshments the
thanks Of every one interested are
due, and it is with pleasure that the
writer extends to Mrs. B. W. Sim
mons, Miss Mary Motion, Miss Julia
Kibler and Mrs. G. F. Hair, on
behalf of the lodge, heartiest thanks.

Chautauqua a Success.

When the arrangements for the
chautauqua were being completed, 1t
seemed very doubtful if expenses
would be made. The committee Of
ten gentlemen who guaranteed the
amount report that the expenses were
fully met, with the exception of the
payment of the band, this being un-
dertaken by the ladies of the civic
league. The chautauqua afforded
considerable entertainment for the
people of the town, and the various
numbers were good. Considerable
enthusiasm was aroused by the va
rious entertainments, and especially
by the free attractions provided. TIE
athletic events brought out a large
crowd, and all other morning at
fractions were we'll attended. though
not as much so as they should have
been. The automobile parade was
without doubt the prettiest thing
Bamberg has ever seen, and it was
witnessed by hundreds of enthusias-
tic admirers. Steps were immediate
ly taken to organize a chautauqua
committee for next year, and the sig
natures of 21 gentlemen were secur-
ed without trouble. This being the
| first chautauqua Bamberg has had,
it was a new undertaking, and good
many things that should have been
done were overlooked, and with these
details attended to next year the fes-
tival will be more of a success than
it was this spring.

though small, is one of the best coun-
ties in the State, and as other coun-
ties with no more resources than we
have are having their annual fairs,

have one.

Wins One Game; Ties Another.

An interesting game Of baseball
here Wednesday afternoon between
Carlisle school and Potter Military
Academy resulted in a tie, to 8.
Porter's led off in the first inning by
three successive hits, filling the bases
with none out. A pretty double play
was then pulled off by the home boys
and the visitors were retired without
a run. Carlisle scored one run in the
first, one in the third and third in
the fifth, and it seemed that the game
was safely won until batting rally
by the Charleston boys in the ninth
inning forced three runs across the
plate, tying the score. Umpire Rentz
then called the game on account of
darkness.
