First Bale of Cotton is Sold.

The first bale of cotton sold on the
local market raised in this county
was purchased on the 18th inst. by
.Rentz & Fielder from Mr.. ]. M.
Grimes. The bale weighed 524
pounds, and brought eight cents. Mr..
Grimes has since sold two more bales.
However, this was not the first bale
bought in Bamberg. Mr.. H. c. Folk
purchased a bale from Mr.. S. B. Cope
on the 18th. This bale weighed 469
pounds and brought eight cents, but
was raised in Orangeburg county,

Cotton Gins Are at Work.

Both cotton ginneries OF the city
have started operations. The Farm
ers Gin company and the Cotton Oil
company both fired up last week
and ginned out several bales for
Bamberg county farmers, being the
first bales to be turned out by the
local ginneries. The two gins of the
city have a daily capacity of some
thing like 200 bales per day, and
they usually have all they can do
through the fall and into the winter
months. However, it is not likely
that this year the run will be so long,
as the cotton crop will be shorter.

Mr.. T. J. Rentz has the contract
to extend the platform at the Bam-
berg, Ehrhardt and Walterboro term
inal. The present platform has been
found to be too small to handle the
cotton business of the new railroad.
The platform will be extended 100
feet. and will extend almost TO the
street below. The lumber is on the
ground for the extension, and work
is being pushed to complete the plat
form for the present cotton shipping
season.

Mayor of Atlanta Speaks on Leo. NJ.
Frank Lynching.

San Francisco, August 1S.-J. G.
Woodward, mayor of Atlanta, Ca, in Z
an address here last night declared
that Leo. NJ. Frank suffered the lust
penalty for an unspeakable crime"
The Atlanta mayor at the same time
warned former Governor Slaton, now
in California, not to return to Geor-
gia.
Mayor Woodward's address was
made at a banquet of the California
State Assessors association.
Little oreno applause greeted his
remarks, although ne was listened to-.
with close attention.
Mayor Woodward said:
Il am going to take, occasion to-
night to tell Of the events that have
put Georgia on the map in a very un-
desirable light. l am going to en-
deavor to set you right. People
throughout the United States have
obtained their ideas of the Frank
case from a poisoned and subsidized
press and press reports. ~
Common decency prevents me
from telling you the revolving truths
of the murder of Mary Phagan. I
wish you all knew the truths as i.
know them for have been with this
case ever since it started and l have
read every line of evidence that was
introduced. l know that there is not
a member of the jury that tried Leo.
NJ. Frank who would change his de-
cision if put to the test again.
As q Last Resort.
Georgia is the leading State Of
the South. It's people cannot be-
classed with tramps, hoodlums, BAN :
dts and law-breakers, but things had
come to a point where every avenue
of the law had been exhausted and
the judgment of the courts set aside
by one man and the people felt that
it was up to them to take the law iu-g
to their hands.
While we people Of Georgia de-
plore this deed of Monday night, Wes
know what is behind the feeling that
prompted it, and want it UNDER
stood that it is simply emphasizing
the fact that when it comes to . wo-S'
mans honor there is no limit we viii,
not go to avenge and to protect. ::
There were only two people ims
plicated in the death Of Mary Pha-i
gan. l know the negro did not CON-
nit the deed, and am positive that
Is per cent. of the people Of Georgia
are convinced that the man lynched
Monday night committed the deed.s
and they are on the ground and
ought to know.
sAs mayor Of Atlanta, I have re-
ceived tons and tons Of letters and
petitions and requests asking that
something be done for Frank, and !
they have all gone into the waste !
basket, for like all Georgia people
who are in a position to get at the
truth, I know the facts.
II know Jack Slaton, have known
him for thirty years, ever since he
was young man. I have been
friends with him. and while hate to-
say it, would not advise him to re-
turn to Georgia for a year-n ever. 3

Fairfax Beats Bamberg.

In a one-sided game filled with
errors, the Fairfax team defeated
Bamberg Friday afternoon by score
of Z to /. Witsell for Fairfax was
wild, walking seven, but redeemed
himself with the stick, getting three
hits, one a double, out Of four times
at bat. The fielders gave Witsell
good support, helping him out OF

It's jolly old world We live in,
anyway, taking things as a whole.
The best of us have so much in us
that is bad, that we can i'll afford tc
think hard of the worst of us, who
have so much good in us. We don't
see things alike, and l guess it is
we'll that We don't, because if We all
looked at everything the same way,
the path we travel would be 80 thick
with people that we could hardly
navigate. Take, for instance, the
numerous religious denominations.
They all-at least all Of them I
know of-have the same goal in
view, but they are travelling differ
ent roads to get there. Each one Of
us believe we are in the right road,
so there you are. But perhaps that
denomination which we think the
least of may reach certain class Of
people that ours cannot.

BY the way, what has become of
the sewerage and water proposition?
There was so much enthusiasm over
the matter a few weeks past that
thought l would be hearing the
trickling of water by this time.
Don't let the matter drop out Of
sight. The time to strike piece Of
iron is when it is hot, and the time
to get water and sewerage is when
the enthusiasm is up, that is If you
have time. From what 1 have OBJ
served in. other places, it takes a
whole lot of work to get big i'm
provements like this; and while
things usually start off in a rush,
the first wave of enthusiasm is soon
over, and then is the time the hard
work comes in. There are always a
lot of lukewarm people who are
ready to join in a procession while
the parading is in full view, but are
ready to drop out when the corner
is turned. OF course we haven't got
any such people in Bamberg.

Some folks say that the reason TO.
the present war is because Europe
has forgotten God. This must be
the reason. It seems to be the his
tory of any nation or country that
forgets God, that it crumbles. The
strength of a nation may oe meas
ured by it's fear of the Great Ruler.
The kings and emperors and czars
and the grand dukes and other lines
of titles in Europe are not overbur-
dened with piety. But it seems that
when it comes to influence over their
people, they have plenty of that.
If the emperor or king says the ma
tons honor has been trodden upon
it has been, of course. That's
all there is to it. Well, everybody
that wants to follow the emperor or
car or king can do it; but as for
me, give me the good old U. S. A.
Yes, sir, every time.

Most Inconspicuous,
Yet Most Powerful,
Was Mrs. Rockefeller

The most inconspicuous personality
with one of the most powerful spheres
of influence In the world was the little
wife whose individuality dominated the
financial genius of this country's great
est business man.
These are terms that have been USED
in describing Mrs. John D. Rockefel-

confidant Of the man whose very name
suggests money, commercial supremacy,
and Industrial organization carried TO
the highest degree.
There are few women In the Worlo
who have been so absolutely hidden
from the public eye as Mrs. John d.
Rockefeller. She would not be recog-
nized on the street as the wife OF q rlcn
man. She wore the habiliments Of the
woman in ordinary circumstances. She
never dressed in stylish attire. She new
g. rode in an automobile when she could
help it. She never obtruded herself
anywhere.
She had few friends and made few
calls. Her entire interest was John D.
Rockefeller and his home and their
children. 1t Is stated by people who
have watched them. that Mrs. Rockefel-
Ter supplied the impetus which sent the
great magnate through all his stormy
career. and that Mrs. Rockefeller's quiet
influence kept him going.
Laura Celestia Spelman was the
Ohio. She was an ordinary. happy.
care-free girl attending the public
schools of the Ohio city in the fifties.
There was nothing particularly conspic-
uous about her to single her out from
other girls. She grew up in family
that believed In churchgoing. In living
according to rigid routine. They were
Congregationalists and the head of the
family had originally come from New
