Lola and Alma Folk with Mrs. J. w.
Crum were gracious hostesses at this
camping party. Picnics, parties, au-
tomobile tours, boat rides, etc., were

ty.

bia; Sara Neeley, Of Olar; Gertrude
Manning, of Latta; Mrs. Powell and

merry by leap year party and a
mock marriage, characterized by
great solemnity and seriousness. The
bride was bewitching in mosquito
netting held in place with wild asters
and wire hair pins. Mr.. Chris. Folk
was the officiating, unlicensed minis
ter.
Friday morning breakfast hour
was unusual in subdued atmosphere

Enrolment Books Close.

The club rolls of the various Dem
ocratic clubs were closed Tuesday
night, July 25th being the last day
upon which the club rolls could be
signed. The enrolment seems to
have been very satisfactory all over
the county, Judging from various
reports. In Bamberg, while the
exact number had not been counted,
it is stated that there were about 42o
to enroll their names, this being a
material increase over the enroll
ment Of two years ago.
The club rolls will now be brought
to. Bamberg and turned over to the
county executive committee, who will
examine the rolls, and take off such
names as are improperly enrolled.
AS the club lists are prepared from
these books, only such persons as
have correctly signed their full
name, place of residence, occupa-
ton, etc., will be allowed to vote in
the primaries.

A Big Advertising Project.

In The Herald this week will be
found an advertisement of the Asso-
ciated Railways, giving the argu-
ments of the railroads in the matter
of the demand for increased wages
by the employees. This is a remark
able advertisement from several
standpoints. The first of these ad-
vertisements appeared two weeks
ago. This was the first time in the
history Of the country that the rail
ways bought space in the newspapers
to present their side of a controver-
sy. It may be stated that the adver-
tising is carried in practically every
newspaper published in, the United
States. The same advertisement ap-
pearing today was published in g.
900 daily newspapers and $4,000
weekly newspapers, and for it's ap-
pearance one time the cost was ap-
proximately 100000.

Had q Flood Experience.

The State relates the following ex-
perience of Mr.. J. B. Halliburton,
formerly district telephone manager
of this territory, in making a trip
from Charlotte to Columbia last
week. The State says:
81. B. Halliburton, of Columbia,
connected with the Southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph company, re-
lates an interesting experience of a
trip from Charlotte to Columbia,
which necessitated much detouring
owing to the washed up condition of
the railroads. The party of which
he was a member went from Char
lotte to Camden via Hamlet, N. c.;
from Camden via McBee and Harts-
vile to Sumter; from Sumter via
Lanes to Charleston, and from Char
lesion to Savannah and then to Co.
lumbia. The distance travelled was
more than six times what it is in or
dinary times and the time consumed
was three nights and two days."

The Crop Condition.

The condition of the crops in Bam-
berg county is considered good.\ Al
though there has been a great of
excess of rain during the past month,
the damage so far has not been great
The past week was a fine one
for the farmer, and the absence of
rain enabled him to catch, up pret-
ty we'll with his work, although there
is much work to be done before clay
ing by time"
Corn is good, and if there is not
too much rain for the next two or
three weeks, there will be fine crop
of cotton made in this county. In
fact some farmers predict the best
crop the county has ever made, con-
sidering, of course, the acreage
planted this year. With the practi-
cal assurance of good price for
cotton this fall, the farmers are only
worrying over the prospect of too
much rain.
Hard rains have again visited the
county. There was a steady down
pour all day Tuesday. AS cotton is
now at a critical stage, serious dam
age is possible from too much rain.

Bamberg on Trunk Line.

For the past week or more Bam-
berg has been on trunk railway
line. More passenger trains now
pass through Bamberg in day than
usually pass in several. All railway
service between Branchville and Co.
lumbia has been suspended on ac-
count of the floods, and trains are
detoured from Charleston to Colum-
bia via Blackville. The passenger
service includes all of the regular
Columbia trains and also the Caro-
lima special, from Charleston to Gin
cinnati These trains do not handle
any local passenger business. The
detouring of the Colum bia-Branch-
vile train service by way of Bam-
berg was necessitated on account of
the dangerous condition of the tres
tie at Kingville the first of last week.
Later in the week the trestle gave
completely away, carrying with it. a
number of loaded cars placed on the
trestle in an effort to weight it. down
to combat the force of the river.
It is announced that it may be
several weeks before the normal
train service can be resumed, mas
much as the trestle will have to be
rebuilt and many stretches of track
repaired before trains can be run
over the division.
The Atlantic Coast Line Florida
trains, which were operated over the
Southern from Charleston to Den
mark for several days last week, are
now detoured over the A. G. L.
tracks via Sumter and Denmark.

WatermelOns Profitable.

Local watermelon growers this
year have found splendid market
for their product. Melons are plant
ed largely around Bamberg, a great
many farmers usually planting a
more or less large acreage. Recently
there have been a number of cars Of
fine melons sold on the local market.
Buyers from other places have
bought in most of the melons on the
tracks here. Average good melons
are now bringing from S85 to $50
per carload on the cars in Bamberg.
This price is much better than was re-
ceived last year, and a nice profit is
realized when melons can be sold at
this price, the growers state. Extra
fine melons are worth much more,
some even bringing as much as $50
per carload on the sidetrack.

w. Nj. s. Entertained.

In July of every summer the aux
iliary to the Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church is en-
tertained at the home of one of its
members, and to this regular meet
ing is added a social feature that
brings the workers closer together,
and proves a stimulus to the work
which might lag during the hot sum-
mer months. At the meeting last
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. w. D..
Rhoad was hostess to the society,
and a most profitable time was spent
with her. The faithful president,
Mrs. E. o. Kirsch, was in the chair
and opened with reading from the
11th chapter of Proverbs. After a
hymn the secretary read the minutes
of the June meeting, which stood ap-
proved. The first vice president had
no report to make. The superintend-
ent of social service gave a report of
local work and money expenditures
for same.
Mrs. J. R. Owens asked questions
concerning the work of the auxiliar-
les, which questions were answered
by Mrs. NJ. A. Bamberg. Another
paper, composed of questions and an
swers, was read by Mrs. Frank Bam-
berg and Mrs. Bowman Still. The
president, whose duty it is to give
an annual talk on stewardship, made
a most interesting plea for more
tithers in the society, declaring tith-
ing to be the only way to give to the
Lord. The president read poem
of unusual tenderness, after which
she gave a report of the splendid
district missionary meeting held re-
Gently in Branchville, which meeting
she attended and brought home to
her auxiliary much enthusiasm.
After repeating the Lords prayer
in concert the meeting stood ad-
journed. A delightful social half
hour was spent while the hostess
served a delicious ice course.
