Hampton, July 12.-In deciding
game of series of three, the Hamp-
ton baseball team defeated Fairfax

1t is peculiar that in all the games
between these rival teams the score
was 4 to 3. Fairfax won the first
at Fairfax in eleven innings by this
score, and Hampton the last two by
the same score.
By this victory, Hampton claims
the championship of this section Of

From the Boil Weevil Section.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Mcmillan and
family, of Hahira, Ca, are spending
some time visiting relatives in the
city and county. Mr.. Mcmillan paid
his usual and appreciated annual Wis
it to The Herald office Monday. He
lives in the very southern portion OF
Georgia, something over a hundred
miles below Savannah, on the Flor
ida line. Mr.. Mcmillan plants sea
island cotton and is making quite a
success of it. He says that last year
he raised about twenty bales or fif-
ty acres. The prevailing price OF
sea island cotton is around seventy
cents per pound. Sea island cotton,
said Mr.. Mcmillan, is no more diff
ficult to raise in his section than or
binary short staple, except, of course,
the yield per acre is not so great.
About the same amount of fertilizer
per acre is required, and the long
staple is cultivated in pretty much
the same manner as short ~. pie is
grown here. Mr.. Mcmillan says the
boil weevil has struck his farm and
this will be his first experience with
that gentleman. He does not know
vet to what extent his crop will be
DAMAGED. With the exception of the
possible damage from the weevil, MIR.
Mcmillan has fine prospects for
good crop of sea island this fall.

Large Shipment of Oats.

The following clipped from an Ala
bama newspaper, will be read with
interest in Bamberg:
That the South can feed herself is
no longer question, it is concrete
fact.
"Houston county gave demonstra-
tion in this line yesterday when
Spann Bros, of this place, shipped to
Augusta, Ca, two car loads, contain
ing 2,1O0 bushels of Fulghum oats,
the oats being raised on Spann Bros. s
farms near Dothan and which
brought the neat sum of $1.45 a
bushel. Spann Bros. have about
1000 more bushels on hand. This is
probably the first time that enough
oats were raised to justify shipment
to outside markets in the history of
Houston county"

Methodist Missionary Meeting.

In spite of the rainy afternoon
which was the regular meeting day
of our adult missionary society sew
eral members went to the home OF
Mrs. E.. o. Watson, who graciously
entertained US. We had pleasant
meeting on the porch where the
breezes famed us bit.
Mrs. Cleckley, our corresponding
secretary, who has charge of the
stewardship side of our local work,
was the leader. She presided with
ease and grace. After prayer and an
appropriate Bible lesson taken from
2 Chronicles 31:1-5 we passed to the
head of reports and miscellaneous
business. A reading on our steward
ship slogan" was given by the lead
er. Then she called on some of the
members to ask and answer number
of questions on why we should
grow"
Miss Llewellyn Cleckley followed
these questions and answers with a
reading on "Relief from the
Vanguard" This surely set us
to thinking. How little we pay
the men and women who go
to the darkened places OF the
earth as our gospel representatives.
How much these faithful men and wo-
men have to endure in this day Of
high prices!
During a social while together our
hostess served cream and eake.-

\ Great Base Ball Game.

The fats and leans played game
of base ball Friday at Rhoad park
Mayor Rentz umpired the game. He
was unique for his extraordinary de-
cisions; for instance, he called the
side out when the first man up struck
out, but he came prepared-he was
armed with an old army rife, sup
posed to be loaded with slugs, rusty,
nails and other death dealing mis-
siles. Col. Klauber maintained his
reputation for high balls" he claims
that he struck out fifteen, Marion
Rhoad says he struck out ten. 1t
was impossible to get an authentic
record of the game. Each claims to
have won. Shortly after the game
started it commenced to rain. Did
they stop? They did not, for this
was the first opportunity that some of
the players ever had and they would
have played through hail storm.
big Mack" got run and two safe
hits. After repeated efforts Glenn
Cope got a base hit. The ball got
lost in every inning, which gave the
players a chance to rest after their
strenuous efforts Finally, after an
unknown number of inning 80" I'M
pire realized that it was abou ime
to quit, and called the game ended.
However, tidy sum was realized
for the Red Cross and large crowd
was greatly amused.

a most enlightening and instructive
manner.
Messrs. Bristow and Derrick made
talks that sparkled' with wit and hu-
NOR. but withal containing stirring
messages for the lodge and for the
order. Bamberg lodge was highly
commended by the grand officers, the
lodge being characterized as being

State.

Coal is Dear in France.

A housewife in Paris cannot buy a
so pound sack of coal at any price,
but large consumers have been OBJ
tanning it in lots of from two to ten
tons at SIS a ton. This situation
was disclosed in the debate in the
chamber of deputies on the economic
situation. 1t is attributed to facil-
tiles afforded for speculation by the
licenses through which the govern
ment hoped to regulate the traffic.
The licenses acquired at once a
trading value that was put to profit
by people who had never even had
anything to do with the coal trade.
Dressmakers, lawyers, society men,
commission merchants Of all kinds,
dealt in these licenses, each one TAX
ina as big profit as he could get
in passing it to the next buyer:
Maurice Violette, minister of pro-
visions, cited typical case. The
price of coal originally bought at
s36 a ton went to SIS ton by pass
ing through the hands of six inter-
mediaries, none of whom had any
thing to do with the coal business
before this license was issued.
M. Brunei, deputy from Paris, cit
ed a consumer who was able to buy
ten tons of coal, a five years supply,
while tenanats of the same building
could not obtain enough to cook a
meal and were obliged to use gas.
These facts have so impressed the
public" said NJ. Brunei, that peo-
pie of very moderate ideas have de-
clared to the authorities that if the
situation continues it means revolu-
tion."
The minister Of provisions has de-
cided to issue no licenses to import
ers who were not regular dealers be-
fore the war, and proposes law pun
ishing speculation in coal by fines
and Imprisonment.
Trading has gone On not only in
importation licenses but in options
for the purchase of ships. One con-
Germ pretending to have options on
60 vessels was asked for statement
of it's affairs. It's real capital was
found to be $50. The minister de-
clared that this traffic had been stop
ped.
The rate of coal importation which
had improved in January, February
and March, has been affected by the
submarine campaign and gone down
to 100000 tons month below last
years figures. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to increase the pro-
duction of French mines and thus
reassure the population as to the
situation this coming winter.

MAJOR ALBERT PFAENDER
ON GUARD RETIRED ROLL

Major Albert Pfaender informs the
Review that he has been placed on the
retired roll of National Guard officers.
and not on the reserve list, as has been
reported. This has been done under the
provisions of the laws which allow an
officer OF at least ten years standing, on
his own request, to be placed on the re-
tired roll OF officers. These are not sub
1ect to call, altho they would have pre-
ference In case they offered their services
under call for volunteers.
Major Pfaender states frankly that he
has no present desire to volunteer, as he
cannot see what duties the land forces
will be called on to perform, except it be
under the same circumstances as the
service on the Mexican border.
Under the status of the retired roll,
Major Pfaender still retains his member
ship in the National Guard Association
OF Minnesota, as an honorary member,
and at present holds the office of Vice
President Of that organization.
