4 Record Meeting of Men.

Many of those present Sunday
morning at the Business Mems Bible
class declare that it is probably the
largest meeting composed entirely OF
men ever held for religious purposes
in Bamberg. There were. according
to the official count, an even hundred
men present at the class. Every
member apparently is working hard
for the class, and is leaving no stones
unturned to get every man in Bam-
berg to join the class.
This large attendance is the re-
suit of the campaign for attendance
now being waged by the class. AS
will be noted from the clippings from
the Orangeburg newspapers. the class
at that place is also hustling. The
record for last Sunday was an at
tendance of 100 and 33 new mem
bers for Bamberg, and an attendance
Of 102 for Orangeburg. Orangeburg
is still considerably in the lead, but
Bamberg is fast catching up. There
are two more Sundays of the con-
test between the two Glasses.

"Brooker" From Bamberg.

From the samples submitted so far
this season to the News and Courier
it has been decided that the best as
paragus comes from Bamberg. 1t is
the "Brooker" variety, grown on the
Mayflower Inn farms and enjoyed
daily at this season by patrons of that
celebrated hostelry. OF course, the
News and Courier expects to receive
more samples "a sample is not less
than a crate) before the season
closes, but the grass" that beats the
"Brooker" will have to be some
grass"
The News and Courier is not yet
prepared to announae a decision re-

in the eastern part of the State have

MAIL SERVICE ON B., E. & w.
Chief Clerk Investigates Looking to
Putting on Service.

Mr.. j. A. Metts, of Charleston,
chief clerk of the railway mail SER
vice of the government, visited Bam-
berg last Friday, looking into the
matter of inaugurating mail service
on the Walterboro branch Of the At
lantic Coast Line railway. The oval
terboro branch" Incorporates what is
locally known as the B., E. & w. At
present the only means of getting
mail to and from Ehrhardt is via
Charleston.
Mr.. Metts conferred with the post
master. who went over the situation
with him and gave him the required
information. The matter will now
be referred to the department, and
there is but little doubt about the
service being inaugurated as soon as
action can be taken by the Washing
ton authorities.
Mail service between Bamberg and
Ehrhardt will provide a great con-
venience to the people of both Sec
tions, and it is hoped that there will
be no delay in getting the service
started.

Another Preliminary Held.

Tuesday another preliminary in the
matter of the killing of Laurie Reed,
a negro, about the middle of last
February, was held at Denmark. 1t
will be remembered that the body OF
Reed was found near the roadside in
this county, having been killed some
time previous. The inquest was held,
but little came out to indicate the
perpetrators of the homicide. Sub
sequently four young white men were
implicated, but they were discharg-
ed at preliminary held at the time.
The matter was reported to Governor
Manning, who was not satisfied with
the matter being dropped. The gov
ernor afterward-sent a special agent
to the county to investigate the kill
ing. AS a result Of the agents in
vestigations, another preliminary was
held at Denmark Tuesday. the young
men being again implicated. Solici-
tor Gunter was notified by the gov
ernor, and asked to be present at the
hearing. The solicitor was in the
city Tuesday afternoon and stated
that practically nothing new was
brought out at the hearing, and he
did not consider the testimony suf-
fcient to hold the young men.
1t seems that about the only clue
that might lead to anything definite
as to the person who killed the negro
was hat found near the body. This
hat has never been identified, it is
stated, although it has been ascer-
tanned by the solicitor that the hat
was practically new one at the time
it was found, and that it was sold by
Mr.. c. F. Rizer, of Olar, clerk in
Mr.. Rizers store having identified
the cost mark in the hat as being the
trade mark of that store. However,
he did not know to whom it was sold.

Auto Smashed by Train.

Monday night the SIT train from
Branchville ran into and smashed the
Mitchell automobile of MIR. A. NJ.
Brabham, at a crossing on Railroad
avenue. MIR. Brabham was returning
from his farm near the city Monday
night, when his batteries gave out.
Col. John F. Folk assisted him in get
ting back to town. A rope was at
tached to Mr.. Brabhams car, and MIR.
Folk was towing it to the city. AS
they were crossing the railroad on
the avenue the rope broke, leaving
Mr.. Brabham's car standing on the
track. Mr.. Brabham looked down
the track and saw the passenger
train coming in, only a short dis
tance away. He jumped out, and
tried to push the car off, but could
not do so. He then attempted to
wave the train down, but not having
light at hand, could not. The
train struck the machine while going
at, it is said, about twenty miles an
hour. The car was completely de-
molished and pieces of it were strewn
along the track for a block. The
cow catcher on the engine was con-
siderably damaged, and it is stated
that part of the broken auto struck
the engineer about the face, inflict-
ing a slight wound. The train was
stopped as soon as possible.

IDEAL WOMEN OF THE PAST
Live In History as the inspiration OF
Men Who Led the World In
Art and Learning.

"All inspiration comes from woman.
In these words Castiglione sums up
medieval ideas and theories on the
subject. Hers it is to inspire man with
hope and courage on the battlefield
and In the council chamber, in the pur-
suit of art and learning, in the higher
paths of virtue and religion, to point
the way upward and lift hearts from
earth to heaven.
So it was that the boy Raphael grew
up in the enchanted air OF Urbino I'M
der the fostering care Of the good
duchess; so Isabella d'Este heard
young Ariosto recite the first cantos
of his great poem, or gave Mantegna
and Costa themes for their pictures
In the studio of the grim old CASTILLO
that looks down on the Mantuan lakes
and the windings of "smooth-sliding
Mincius."
So Veronica Gambara smiled on the
early efforts of the painter Correg-
gio, and Vittoria Colonna soothed the
loneliness Of Michaelangelos weary
old age.
BY their delicate culture and refined
taste these noble women brought art
into close touch with life.
By their gracious and kindly SYM
pathy they cheered the artist souls
that we're struggling toward the light,
and helped to produce immortal works.

Lack of Ginger is One Trouble With
New York Giants, Says Schibe
With That Team.

A reporter who accompanies the
New York Giants on the road has hit
upon a great cause of difficulty in base
ball, says Milwaukee Sentinel. He
says that one trouble with the Giants
is their lack of enthusiasm. All, that
is a real trouble!
The team that pats a fellow player
on the back as he comes to the bench
after a home run or play that has
broken up game, is always team
that has friends, no matter where they
stand in the percentage column.
The team composed of fellows who
sit on the bench like SO many automa-
tons, just content to do their own
little stunt at the proper time and
place, never makes hit.
Give me the team with pep" and
ginger. Give the crowd sof fellows who
are interested enough in the game and
in the play and in each sother to, make
believe, at least, that they are not
getting paid for it.
