MUCH IMPROVEMENT.
Carlisle Campus Now a Very Attrac.
tive Place.

The work of making improvements
and additions to the Carlisle cam
pus is about completed. The finish
ing touches are now being put on the
work, and within the next week or
two the debris will be cleared away.
Everything will be in shape for the
opening of the school next month. A
great deal of work has been done
on the main building and the H. J..
Brabham hall. A total expenditure
of about $4,000 will have been made
when all the work is completed.
The old Brabham hall has been re-
made into a new building, bearing
but slight resemblance to the old
hall the students knew in past years.
Eight rooms have been added to the
building by the erection of an ad-
dition to the rear of the hall. This
addition is similar to the portion of
the building fronting on Carlisle
street. The steeple has been torn
away, and a very attractive portico
stands in it's place. The greatest
improvement to the appearance of
the building was made on the side
facing the campus. The old piazzas
were torn away, being replaced by an
entirely new arrangement. Large
brick columns on, either side of the
campus entrance beautify the view
from the campus. In addition to the
outside improvements, the whole of
the inside of the building has been
renovated and remodeled.
Four new class rooms have been
added to the main building, these
rooms being housed in an attractive
addition to, the rear of the structure.
These additional rooms will provide
long felt need in the school, and
will relieve the crowded condition OF
the main building.
Sewerage has been installed
throughout the campus. Septic
tanks were installed some months
ago. This improvement adds much
to the sanitary condition of the vari-
Gus buildings, and adds further pro-
lection to the health of the students
The health of Carlisle students has
always been excellent, and will be
further safeguarded by the addition
of a sewerage system.
A heating plant is yet to be in
stalled in the main building. With
the installation of this plant the i'm
provements will be completed.

A $4,000 Bale of Cotton.

Saturday Mr.. J. NJ. Grimes sold a
bale of cotton on the local market
for almost s100.000-lacking just
forty cents of being "even money.
The bale weighed 664 pounds and
was bought by Rentz & Fielder for
fifteen cents the pound, bringing Mr.
Grimes S99.60. Together with the
seed, of which there were 80 l-3
bushels, the bale was worth S119.
Cottonseed is now worth 60 cents
per bushel, making the seed from
this monster bale worth S19.40. This
is perhaps the biggest price that a
single bale has sold for in Bamberg
within the past seven or eight years.
A number of years ago cotton was
North-for a very little while
II 1-2 cents a pound; this price be-
ing forced on account of the activity
of Dan Sully. When the staple
reached this unheard-of figure, Sully
suddenly went "busted," and cotton
went down to its real value. How
ever, the present price is the result
of actual supply and demand, and
from the present outlook, it is like
ly to go a good deal higher.

MIR. j. X. Breedin Here.

Mr.. J. K. Breedin, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon league of South
Carolina, was in the city Sunday and
made an address at the Baptist
church at the morning service. Mr..
Breedin, in addition to his duties as
the head of the league in this State,
is editor of the Manning Herald, pub
lished at Manning. Mr.. Breedin de-
voted his talk Sunday morning to a
brief review of the work of the Anti
Saloon league, and told of the needs
for the continuance of the league.
He also told of the enforcement of
the prohibition law throughout the
State, stating that the results of the
law had been very gratifying. Es-
pecially in Charleston had wonders
been worked, he said. Mr.. Breedin
was born and reared in Charleston.
and he said that if he had not known
conditions before and after at first
hand, it would be hard for him to be-
lieve the reports of the enforcement
Of prohibition in Charleston; but he
is thoroughly familiar with the situa-
ton and knows that the open sale of
whiskey is not tolerated.
Mr.. Breedin highly complimented
the State administration and the va
rious county officials for their cooper
alton in enforcing the law, stating
that, with very few exceptions, the
magistrates and sheriffs had perform
ed their full duty, although many of
them had previously expressed them
selves as not being in sympathy with
the law. Mr.. Breedin especially COM
mended the cooperation on the part
of Governor Manning in enforcing
the law, stating that the governor
had appointed, on his recommends
ton, constables who were not Man.
ming men, and whom the governor
knew were not his followers; but
they were men especially suited for
the work required and were given
commissions by Governor Manning
without question.
He urged upon the people to be
vigilant, stating that the battle for
prohibition had not been won, and
would not be won as long as there is
a drop of whiskey sold in or shipped
into South Carolina.

The Bamberg Cotton Market.

The following Bamberg dispatch
was published in last Sundays News
and Courier:
''The cotton market at Bamberg is
booming as never before at this early
date. Fifteen cents cotton is causing
the farmers to make extra efforts to
harvest their crop and rush it to mar
ket and the buyers are kept busy as
is usual in October. About 200 bales
were sold here yesterday and the
average amount obtained per bale
was more than $50. Bamberg coun-
ty will make at least 25 per cent.
more than last year, and if present
prices hold throughout the season,
farmers will make big money and
business will boom"

C&nteloupes and Watermelons.

"The canteloupe and watermelon
srowers in the southeastern part OF
the State are just winding up their
movement. The growers and ship
pers received unusually good prices
for this year, both f. o. b. and in the
markets." says Clemson College
bulletin issued last week. "As a re-
suit of these good prices there is
every indication Of an increased
acreage for next year. There is also
movement on foot to perfect an or
ganization among all the growers fol
next year.
"Blackville is the heaviest ship
ping point for canteloupes in the
State. A considerable amount OF
canteloupes have been shipped from
the following points: Barnwell, Es'
till, Williston, Ulmers, Govan and
Sycamore. The total number of cars
shipped out of South Carolina this
season was Is.
'The green meated canteloupes
are grown in these parts. They are
put up in flats holding 9, IL, Is and

Prospects Bright for Carlisle.

ct wish that every Methodist in
the State could step upon the Car
lisle campus and see what really
great plant they have here" says
Head Master J. C. Guilds, of Carlisle
school, in the Southern Christian Ad-
vocate. 81 think their eyes would
bulge in surprise and their hearts
would swell with just touch of
pride.
eve have been working on our
plant all summer. The two original
buildings, the Main building and the
boys dormitory, now known as the
III. J. Brabham hall, have been re-
modelled, enlarged, and renovated
throughout. The work is just about
completed. They look like new
buildings and the campus like new
place.
t'On the campus there are now six
splendid buildings used for school
purposes, the C. F. Rizer gymnasium,
and the home of the head master.
We must not lose sight of the fact,
however, that the church went into
the field of education to teach the
world, among other things, that the
value of a school does not depend
upon the size of it's campus, the num-
ber of it's buildings or the size of it's
student body, but depends upon the
influence that is(brought to bear from
day to day upon the life of the indi-
vidual student. Carlisle strives first
of all, therefore, to be safe school.
Prospects are bright for large
opening. We have room for forty
five more boys than we had last year
and will be glad to hear from parents
who are seeking a good school with
prices in easy reach"

Fairfax Man Killed.

Reports were received here yester-
day that Columbus Spradley, news
butcher on a Charleston and Western
Carolina train, had shot and killed a
Western Union lineman, named Car
yer, who worked out of Fairfax, S.
C.. The shooting occurred at Yem-
asee. Spradley is in custody.
Details of the affair could not be
learned last night, but it seems some
bad feeling had existed between the
two men for some time.
Spradley has two brothers living
here, Charles and Frank Spradley.
He, also, formerly lived in Augusta

The Herald's Representative.

Mr.. w. H. Chandler, who will tour
the county for The Herald, will start
on his rounds on September first
Friday. Our friends are earnestly re-
quested to be ready to settle with
Mr.. Chandler when he calls. 1t costs
a lot of money to travel these days,
and Mr.. Chandler does not want to
make but one call. He is going to
endeavor to see every family in the
county within the next few weeks.
If you are already subscriber, and
your subscription has expired-Or
will expire this fall-kindly pay him.
If you are not subscriber, get ready
to subscribe. Of course, you always
have intended to subscribe for your
county paper-the best in this Sec
ton of the country-but you have
just neglected to do it. Our repre-
sentative will save you the trouble of
coming to town. He will call On
you.
Now, we want to say personal
word. You all know how the war
has played havoc with the paper mar
ket. Our paper jobber informed Us
the other day of still another advance
in the price of printing paper. 1t is
now worth five to five and one-halt
cents per pound-the same paper
that cost us 265 per pound the last
time we bought, paper that we are
still using. The house also Informed
us of a serious probability of not be-
ing able to get paper at all, and ad-
vised us to stock up now while we
can get it. The mills are six months
behind with orders, and no more or
ders are being accepted until they
catch up. Acting on this advice, we
ordered a shipment to be made at
once-enough to last us about year.
We, will have to borrow money to
meet THIS bill, which is strictly cash,
not even cash discount being al
lowed.
It is simply impossible for us to
send the paper to anyone except bona
ide paid-in-advance subscribers. We
cannot wait a year after buying pa
per to pay for it,, therefore, we must
be paid in advance by our subscrib-
ers, as we have to buy paper in ad-
vance. Now, we don't wish to de-
prive anyone of The Herald, but Mr..
Chandler will report to us who pa,
and who don't pay, and there is moth
ing left for US to do but cut off those
who do not pay in advance. Please
remember this.

Had a Busy Vacation.

Rev. w. r. Mcmillan, pastor of the
Baptist church, returned to the city
last week, after enjoying very busy
vacation. For the past five weeks the
Baptist pastor has been on his annual
outing. Instead of taking the usual
method of spending vacation and
going to the mountains or seashore,
Mr.. Mcmillan elected to work. And
he is still at it, but will wind up his
evangelistic services the latter part
of this week and return home to re-
sumo his pastoral duties. Last week
he conducted a revival meeting at
Goucher Creek, in Cherokee county,
closing the meeting the latter part
of the week and returning in time to
be present for both services here Sun

STRIKE is ORDERED.
Unless Settlement is Reached Rail.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Labor Day,
Monday, September 4, is the date
fixed for the strike in the tentative
orders prepared by the railroad
brotherhoods and carried home by
the members of the committee of
$40 when they left Washington yes
terday.
1t was learned today that the
brotherhood leaders decided negotia-
tions here must end one way or an
other before Labor Day, and selected
the holiday with a view to having
two million or more workers in all
lines of labor march in great demon
strations in favor of the strikers
cause.
President Wilson tonight definite
ly decided to 60 before congress to-
morrow or Wednesday to recon-
mend legislation aimed to avoid the
threatened nationwide strike or to
stop it, if it comes before congress
can act. He worked until late to-
night on his message in which he
will tell members of the senate and
house the negotiations to date and
lay before them a definite legislative
programme.
The strike order is brief. 1t is ad-
dressed to all members of the four
brotherhoods, is signed by the vari-
Gus general chairmen and reads as
follows:
"Sirs and Brothers: This is to ad-
wise that the vote of the employees

Tells of Visit to France.

Bamberg people will read with in
terest an account Mr.. Carroll C..
Green has given of recent visit to
France. Mr.. Green is son of Mr..
T. A. Green, former Bamberg citi-
zen now residing in Wilmington, N.
G. An interview with Mr.. Green, re-
Gently published in the Wilmington
Evening Dispatch follows:
"Mr. Carroll C. Green, son of Mr..
T. A. Green, proprietor of the Will
mington hotel, arrived in the city last
night from New York, where he re-
Gently landed from France after an
interesting trip to that country and
through some of the European war
zones. Mr.. Green speaks most in
terestingly of the scenes which he
saw while on his way across the At
lantic and also many things he saw
in France.
"Mr. Green sailed from New York
aboard the British liner Moorish
Prince, on July IS. The vessel car
ried a cargo of horses for the allied
armies to La Pallice, France, where
it landed July 25th. On passing
through the war zone Mr.. Green
states that the master of the vessel
took every possible precaution. The
lights were extinguished and all of
the life boats were swung over the
side for a hasty embarkation in case
of being struck by mine.
"While about sc hours out of La
Pallice Mr.. Green was fortunate
enough to pass within a short dis
tance of a French battleship fleet of
about 20 vessels. The Moorish
Prince was not stopped, but num-
Der of code signals were exchanged.
When about Is miles out two scout
aeroplanes hovered over the steamer.
"On arriving in La Pallice harbor
none of the crew of the steamer was
allowed to go ashore except the cap
tain and the first mate. However,
Mr.. Green states that he saw quite a
good deal of the city's water front
and noticed in almost every instance
women were doing the work that was
formerly done by the men who are
now in the trenches.
"In sight of the wharf where the
vessel moored was stockade where
II, 900 German and Austrian prison
ers were being detained by the
French. The greatest vigilance was
maintained over the vessel in order
that no one might leave. A detail
of 25 French soldiers guarded the
dock at all times and Mr.. Green only
succeeded in walking about the dock
and taking a swim in the Bay of
Biscay, on which the city is located.
AT night, when the city was quiet,
Mr.. Green states that heavy firing
on the front could be distinctly heard
in La Pallice.
after discharging the cargo of
horses the Moorish Prince cleared
light for New York, arriving in the
Metropolis about IL days ago."
