A. G.. l.. Extension Needed.

The people of Bamberg and Bam-
berg county have read with consid
erable interest of the efforts of the
Orangeburg chamber of commerce
to induce the Atlantic Coast Line
railway company to build a connect
ing link of railroad between Bam-
berg and Lorine crossing, near Cope.
The Orangeburg commercial body
has gone after the proposed eXten-
ton with vigor, and is not leaving
unturned any stone that may help
along the cause The following dis
patch appeared in the Charleston
News and Courier day or two ago
under an Orangeburg date line:
AN effort is being made by the
chamber of commerce to secure a
connection between the Bamberg,
Ehrhardt and Walterboro railroad
and the Atlantic Coast Line, from
Bamberg to point near Cope, dis
tance of about 4 1-2 miles. Such
connection would mean a great deal
to this city and more business for the
railroads. If it is made it is likely
that trains will be operated from
Cope through this city to Pregnal1.'
The same conditions that would
help Orangeburg would be of great
benefit to Bamberg. In fact such
short line of railroad as four and
a half miles would put Bamberg into
direct touch with several counties and
cities now reached only by indirect
routes. The connection would put
into close touch the counties of Bam-
berg, Beaufort, Walterboro, Orange
burg, Sumter, Florence and Barn
we'll, whereas, as present, they are
reached only by more or less circuit
Gus travel. Orangeburg is. more
than 80 miles distant from Bamberg
by rail; the connection would place
it within about II miles by direct
travel.
Also, it has been stated, by con-
Meeting the Coast Lines road from
Florence to Augusta with the B., E.
& W., which is now operated by the
Coast Line, it would give the A. G.
L. a splendid connection with, the
Florida resorts, and it is believed
that the Florida trains could be op-
Grated over the extension by way of
Bamberg with better service than at
nroSant

In Honor of Miss Hamiter.

One of the most beautiful recep-
tions of the season was given We'd
nesday evening at the Mayflower Inn
on Railroad avenue by Mrs. G. J. S.
Brooker, in honor of Miss Lille Ham
tier, who is her house guest.
The guests were met at the door
by Mrs. Brooker and Miss Hamiter
and were ushered into the beautiful
parlors, lovely with decorations of
pink roses and hyacinths. The color
scheme, pink and green, was carried
out not only in the decorations, but
also in the beautiful dress of the hos
tess and in the refreshments. Rook
was the game played, and a splendid
programme of vocal and instrument
al music was furnished by Prof. J. A.
Klein, Miss Hamiter, Miss Moselle
Copeland and Mrs. E. H. Henderson,
after which dainty and delightful re-
freshments were served by two sweet
little maids. The guests prize was
awarded to Miss Hamiter. Mrs.
Kathleen Riley was the winner of
the first prize and Mr.. E. H. Hen
derson of the gentleman's prize.

New Railroad Talk.

Railroad rumOrs are always pro-
life subject upon which to write.
Sometimes the rumors are founded
upon fact-sometime not. Here are
some "rumors" from the Walterboro
Press and Standard which may be Of
interest to Bamberg:
"Is Walterboro soon to have new
railroad2 This question recurs at
almost every turn, and there can be
little doubt that there is serious talk
of such a consummation. Ever since
the Seaboard began to build its short
line from Charleston to Savannah,
the rumor has appeared and reap
peared with such a persistency that,
like Banquo's ghost, it will not down.
Sunday one of Walterboro's leading
citizens was on the Pullman en-
route to Charleston, and entered in
to conversation with gentleman on
the train who turned out to be a
representative of a large locomotive
manufacturing plant. The conversa-
ton turned on railroads, and this
gentleman remarked that the Atlantic
Coast Line was going to build a short
line between Salkehatchie and st.
Stephens.
"Another statement has been made
that Charleston is up in arms against
this proposed railroad, and has as
serted that if the Coast Line should
dare build this road, her fertilizer
manufactures would give every par
ticle of their business to the new
Seaboard.
"Still another rumor has it that the
gentlemen who have secured the
right of way between Ehrhardt and
Denmark have turned this over to
the Seaboard and that soon this
road will construct a road to unite
with the Hampton and Branchvllle
railroad, near the H. & B. Junction.
There must be some talk in the
air about this new railroad, but 1t
is not expected, of course, that the
Coast Line railroad will give out any
thing till the time is auspiclous.
Meanwhile Walterboro will watch
with interest every proposed rail-
road move in this territory"

Escaped Convict Caught.

A few days ago Jeremiah Hender-
son, negro, was arrested and placed
in the county jail. Henderson, with
two other negroes, effected a Jail de-
livery during the first part of last
year, by breaking through their cell
door and climbing through the CELL
ing of the jail to the top Of the build
ing and sliding down by means of an
improvised rope made by tearing the
bed clothing into strips.
Henderson is the last of the three
negroes who escared to come to
grief. John James, one of the three,
was captured a few weeks after his
escape, and recommitted to Jail. He
has since served out his time; COM
mitted another crime, tried and con-
victed of that. The third negro,
Walker, was never recommitted to
the Bamberg Jail, for the good and
sufficient reason that he met death
some time ago by being run over by
a train near Columbia, while at
tempting to steal ride.
At the time of their escape, Hen
derson was charged with stealing a
bicycle, James with larceny, and
Walker with assault and battery.

Death of MIR. T. P. Weekley.

The friends and neighbors of MT.
r. P. Weekley, of Fairfax, we're
shocked last week to learn or his
death. Mr.. Weekley had been in BAD
health for some time, in fact for sew
eral years, and while it was general
" known that his health had not
been good, it was a surprise to near
of his death because only few had
heard of his recent turn for the
worst. Immediate cause OF his death
was due to la grippe and pulmonary
consumption.
Mr.. Weekley was about seventy
two years of age and had been a
credit to his county through all these
years. He leaves a large 1amll!'
many of whom are settled in and
near his old home. His many
friends deeply sympathize with those
who are stricken and at the same
time feel that they themselves have
suffered a personal loss.-BarnWell

Orangeburg high school defeated a
similar team of the Bamberg school
by a score of 16 to IA Friday after
noon. The game was good one and
was witnessed by number Of peo-
pie, many coming over from Orange
burg.
Last Thursday the Denmark basket
ball team of girls defeated the Barn
we'll girls by a score of 21 to 20.
On the following day Carlisle
school was defeated by score of 13
to 9. The Denmark girls have played
seven games, winning five, having
won two from Barnwell. two from
Carlisle and one from Bamberg. They
have lost only two games, one to
Orangeburg and one to Bamberg high
school.

Baptist Mission Study Class.

Two months ago through the ef-
forts of Miss Mamie Hartzog mis-
sion study class was organized among
the members of the missionary socie-
ty women of the Baptist church.
There were fifty members in all,
making the study class so large that
circles were formed, but the class
itself was taught very successfully
by Miss Hattie Newsom. The text
book used was "The Kings High
way" and the members have been
very much refreshed in going over
the journey as it has been taught.
Great interest has been shown all
along and the ladies have shown
their enthusiasm by unanimously vot-
ing to support a native Bible woman
on some foreign field. There has
been subscribed already $4,000 to-
ward this fund, leaving balance OF
$500. 1t is hoped that all the mon
ey will be raised before the district
meeting, which meets in Denmark
on the 9Th of April, so we can report
it at the meeting. The class has
been discontinued until fall; then
another book will be studied. Much
praise is due Misses Hartzog and
Newsom for their excellent work.

Sold Big Lot of Cotton.

Mr.. J. I. Valentine, a large planter
of the Cope section, sold the other
day one of the largest lots of cotton
recorded in some time. There were
about two hundred and fifty bales in
the lot, and Mr.. Valentine, it is stat
ed, received an average of about
eleven cents per pound, or a little
better. In addition to being a large
planter, Mr.. Valentine also operates
a large ginnery, turning out several
thousand bales of cotton, and has
other business connections.
