a Wealthy Beggar.

A woman was making the rounds
of Bamberg residences this week beg
ging for money to buy ticket to
Chester with. The identity of the
woman is not known, but her de-
scription answers to that of beggar
who was arrested in Newberry few
weeks ago. The Newberry woman
put up the same hard luck story; she
wanted to 90 to Chester, and did not
have money enough to purchase the
ticket. She was known to the; au-
thorities there as an old offender
and a huge faker. When arrested
she was found to possess on herper-
son some fifty-odd dollars, and also
had in her possession a bank book
showing that she had on deposit in
a Columbia bank nearly $1,000: She
forfeited her bond in Newberry, and
left on the next train. Her peculiar
characteristic in Newberry was that
when anyone refused to give her
money, she became exceedingly
wroth, and fired volumes from her
tongue. Some parties in Bamberg
met with the same reception when
the beggar here was not given money.

Minstrel Wednesday Evening.

On Wednesday evening the Car
lise boys, assisted by members of the
faculty, gave a splendid performance
of negro MINSTREL" which kept
the crowded house in one continuous
uproar. The programme was so well
diversified with medlies, duets, quar-
tettes. solos, and conundrums that
the programme committee showed
evidence of having had much prevl-
Gus experience alcng such line of
amusement. 1t would be impossible
to note the particular stars for the
face of each was so black and shiny
until they fairly beamed with reflect
ed radiance. However, the two ends,
Prof. Whitaker and Prof. Daniel,
shone out brightly among the num-
Der of lesser galaxy, with their we'll
timed shots aimed directly at some
member of the audienct. The quar-
tette work of Messrs. Moore, Daniel,
Elkins, and Whitaker; the duets of
Messrs. Daniel and Whitaker; and
solos of Mr.. Austin Moore, were all
far above the average. Prof. Fairey,
as usual, showed his artistic traits;
this time in the difficult role of "cen-
ter"
The personel: Left to right
Messrs Whitaker, Cabral, Elkfns,
Harvey, Bamberg, Fairey, Stafford,
DuBose, n, DuBose, R., and Daniel.
Miss Moselle Copeland displayed an
untiring zeal in training the men,
bers, and to her large portion of
the credit is due. The memory of
that evening shall linger long in our
minds as most enjoyable one.
Come on, local talent! We give you
a most hearty welcome.-Contribut-

Village Mail Delivery.

Postmaster Knight states that up
to this time very few persons have
handed in their names for the vii
lage mail delivery service, which will
be inaugurated in Bamberg April
first. While the date of the inaugu-
ration of the service is several weeks
distant, all prospective patrons are
urged to hand in their names at the
postoffce as soon as possible, so that
the necessary arrangements can be
made for the mail delivery.
Bamberg is very fortunate in Sc
curing this service. Ordinary city
mail delivery could not have been Sc
cured by Bamberg for a number OF
years, as the postal receipts must ex-
ceed $4,000 before city delivery will
be inaugurated. Village mail de-
livery service was only recently
inaugurated by the postoffice depart
ment, and, as yet, only few towns
have secured the service. Practical
ly the same service is given under
the village delivery as the city dellv-
try service.
All persons who desire to receive
mail at their residences are again re-
minded that a receptacle must be
placed at a convenient point for the
purpose. Letters may be given the
carrier on his usual rounds to mail.
Five mail boxes will be erected at
various points of the city for mailing
letters. Two mail deliveries daily
will be made in the business district,
and one daily delivery to residential
sections.
