Judson Mayfield Injured.

Judson Mayfeld, 10-year-old son
of MIR. and Mrs. S. G. Mayfeld, of
Denmark, had both bones of his right
forearm broken at 10 o'clock Satur-
day night, while cranking the family
automobile. Judson had driven the
car to the union station to meet the
local Seaboard passenger train from
Savannah, for Mrs, Maybel Peoples,
of Estill, on visit to Mrs Mayfield.
DR.. Johnson, of Estill, changing cars
for Charleston, was near by when the
accident occurred, and accompanied
the injured boy to his fathers resi-
dence. DR.. Wyman, the family ply
sician, was called in and the broken
limb was attended to.

Found Unconscious on Track.

An unknown white man, seeming
ly about 25 years old, was found on
the Seaboard Air Line railway about
two miles above Fairfax in an un-:
conscious condition by the section
foreman, who carried him to Fairfax
and summoned DR.. w. R. Tuten, who
took charge of the case and tried to
restore him to consciousness but fail
ed. DR.. Tuten started to Savannah
with the patient about 3 o'clock but
the man died shcr1ly after the train
left Fairfax. The man seemed to be
tramp and the only clue to his
identity was these words stamped on
the sweat band of his hat: ''H. c.
Williams, Middendorf, S. c., and the
words ''L Williams, Olar, S. c."
written on a book of cigarette pa
pers found on his person.

told of the very pleasant way in
which the delegates were entertained
and of the many delightful social af-
fairs given them.
After reading by Mrs.

Medical Society Met.

The passage of a law including the
Wasserman test in the work of the
State laboratory is urged in a reso-
luton adopted by the Bamberg coun-
ty Medical society at its meeting
held here last week. An appropria-
ton to carry on the work is asked.
After reciting the increasing dan
ger to the people of South Carolina,
and asserting that only action by the
State can meet the problem, the res
olution says:
Therefore, be it resolved by the
~Bamberg County Medical society,
Il. That we petition the general
assembly of the State of South Caro-
lima to pass, at this session, such an
act or acts as MAY be necessary to
include the Wasserman test in the
work of the State laboratory, and to
make such appropriation as may be
necessary to carry on this work, ef-
fectively, and we beg to assure the
general assembly that with the pres
ent equipment of the laboratory the
cost for this work will be infinitesi-
mally small compared to the good to
be derived therefrom.
"2. That we respectfully call the
attention of the physicians and med
ical societies of the State to this mat
ter, and request them to take prompt
action in presenting to the general
assembly now in session petitions
urging action in this vital matter

To Advertise Bamberg.

Mr.. c.. A. Maull, advertising agent
of the Atlantic Coast Line railway
company, visited Bamberg last Thurs
day and addressed mass meeting of
citizens at the court house at 10
o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Maull
outlined a, plan of the A. c. L. to ad-
vertise the communities through
which it passes, for the purpose OF
securing immigrants to locate in the
South. He proposed to raise fund
of several hundred dollars from nine
South Carolina counties, one of which
is Bamberg.
This fund.-. supplemented by sum
to be appropriated by his company,
will be used to print booklet de-
failing the advantages of these coun-
ties. This booklet will be widely dis
tributed throughout the West,
and other sections from which
it is possible to attract most desirable
agricultural immigrants. Fifty dol
lars was asked from Bamberg. The
amount was readily made up among
those present. Mr.. Maull expects to
return to Bamberg within the next
few weeks at which time information
and data will be collected from this
county for use in the advertising
booklet.
In this way Mr.. Maull proposes to
use his efforts towards building up
the agricultural sections through
which the A. G.. L. passes. Every
new and desirable citizen who To-
Gates in Bamberg county is worth
several hundred dollars to the coun-
ty and is worth quite sum to the
railroad as we'll, and if only few
good families could be induced to To-
cate in the county and build up some
of the soil that is now lying dormant,
the efforts of the railroad and of the
citizens who are cooperating with the
railroad, will be we'll repaid.

dresses were made by visitors.
The Carlisle girls won their first
basketball game Friday afternoon,
defeating the Bamberg high school
girls p to IS. AS the score indi-
Gates, the game was hotly contested,
both teams showing up we'll. A big
crowd of enthusiastic "rooters" for
both sides witnessed the game. In
winning this game the Carlisle girls
have gained a two-fold distinction:
First, so far as there is any record
they have won the first interscholas-
tic athletic contest in which the girls
of this school have ever engaged; Sec
ond, they won the first game to be
played in the new G.. F. Rizer gymna-
SUM. They and their friends are
proud OF tnelr victory.

basketball teams and are working out
schedule of interclass games. The

games have sufficiently revealed the
strength of the men on the various
teams. The following captains have
been elected: Senior team, James
Skinner; Junior team, John Bunch;
sophomore team, st. Pierre Lenoir;
freshman team, Purdy Mcleod.
Rev. w. R. Mcmillan, pastor of
the local Baptist church, addressed
the Young. Peoples Christian associa-
tion at it's regular meeting Friday
night. His discussion of ''The Ideal
Son. was appropriate and helpful.
The school had the pleasure of
having as visitor last week the Rev.
A. J. Cauthen, presiding elder of the
Orangeburg district and chairman of
the Carlisle school board of control.
Mr.. Cauthen came over to discuss
with the members of the local board
some plans for enlarging and improv-
ing the plant for another year.

Young Peoples Christian association
will begin on Monday evening, Janu-
ary "a; and continue through the
week. DR.. R. S.HTruesdale, pastor of
