CONFISCATE MUCH WHISKEY.
Denmark Authorities Make Two
Seizures of Trunks.

The municipal authorities at Den
mark seem to be on the alert for
violators of the prohibition law, as
quite few seizures of whiskey have
been made there within the past few
months. Most of what has been
seized, however, was not consigned
to Denmark, but was in transit to
Augusta or some other point be-
yond Denmark. On Friday of last
week a leaking trunk was noticed at
the Seaboard and Southern passenger
station there, and upon examination
it was discovered that this trunk
and another one with it contained
about 13 gallons of whiskey in small
packages. Both trunks and their
contents were Immediately confis-
Gated by the officers. The whiskey
was in transit from Jacksonville to
Augusta, and was awaiting transfer
from the Seaboard to the Southern
road when seized The following
day another trunk in transit between
the same two places was seized by the
officers at the same place in Denmark,
and upon opening it they found 80
quarts Of whiskey and two quart
bottles of beer. All the liquors are
being held by the proper authorities,
but will be poured out in accordance
with the law.
A white man by the name of Nor
ris was arrested in connection with
the seizures, and was turned over by
the town officers to the federal au-
thorities at Orangeburg, where he
will be given preliminary hearing
before United States Commissioner
Dukes. Morris stated that his home
is in Jacksonville, but he notified
several parties in Augusta of his
hard luck, and requested the authori-
ties to postpone any definite action
against him until their arrival on the
scene. The penalty for this offense,
if convicted under the federal stat
utes, is very severe.

Nav Annex Part of COlletOn.

1t is probable that small strip
of Colleton county will soon be an
nexed to Bamberg county. The pro-
posed territory includes a portion
of Warren township about four miles
eng and two miles wide. 1t is said
to contain fine farming lands, but is
such a small area that no great fight
will be made over the matter of an
nexation, and as practically all of the
voters of the territory in question
are in favor of the change the addi-
ton of this territory to Bamberg
county is almost a certainty.
Several months ago petition with
the names of all the voters except
one residing in the proposed addi-
ton was presented to the governor
asking that a commission be appoint
ed in regard to the matter, and that
an election be held for the purpose
of coming into Bamberg county. On
Monday Governor Manning appoint
ed the following members OF the COM
mission: H. S. Padgett and w. A..
Smith, of Bamberg county, and ]. NJ.
Strickland and A. R. B. Smith Of
Colleton county. 1t is hoped that
the election can be held some time
between now and Christmas so that
the legislature can take definite ac-
ton on the matter of this addition
to Bamberg county at its next ses-
sion. Bamberg county welcomes the
change.

Carlisle School Faculty.

Many changes have been necessary
this year in the faculty of Carlisle
school, only two of the members of
last years faculty having returned
for this session. But it is believed
that wise selections have been made
and good men obtained. Prof. ]. G.
Guilds, headmaster since the reor-
ganization of the school, is again at
the head, and the trustees were ex-
ceedingly fortunate in retaining the
services for this session of Prof. w.
C. Duncan, who has been with them
for a number of years. Prof. w. w.
Daniel, who taught here last year,
returned to take up his duties at the
beginning of this session, but was en-
listed in army duty, and will have to
report at an early date. He left
Saturday and is now in Columbia.
He was succeeded by Prof. z. l..
Madden, who graduated from Wof-
ford college in the class of 1913, and
has had several years experience in
teaching, having been superintendent
of the Blackville public schools last
year. Another new member of the
Carlisle faculty is L. A. Brooks, also
a graduate of Wofford, and a man of
considerable experience in teaching.
The other new men are R. S. Schei-
der, a 1917 graduate Of Wofford col
lege, and C. S. Major, who finished
Clemson in 1916 and also took post
graduate work there last year. The
music department is in charge of
Prof. and Mrs. J. A. Klein, and the
primary department is conducted by
Miss May Bowman, of Orangeburg,
a Winthrop graduate. The girls hall
this year is in charge of Mrs. Emmie
Jennings, while Mrs. Josephine Beach,
who has done so much for the school
in the past and has endeared herself
to the hearts of all the old Carlisle
boys, is again matron of the boys
dormitories.

Concrete Silo Bursts.

Mr.. J. K. Mayfeld sustained a loss
on Thursday through one of the most
singular accidents that has occurred
in Bamberg county in long while.
Mr.. Mayfield has a large silo erected
on his place in the Lees section OF
the county for the purpose of storing
corn products and other foodstuffs.
The silo is probably one of the largest
in this section of the State, being
As feet high and 16 feet in diameter
and having the capacity to hold 2l0
tons Of farm products. 1t is con-
structed of concrete, and was there
fore supposed to be absolutely reliable
so far as it's stability was concerned.
The products, when placed in the
silo, were kept alright and thus pre-
served indefinitely. The project served
it's purpose admirably until it was
stocked to it's full capacity, and then
the concrete bursted, practically the
whole way from top to bottom, which
left an opening about Is inches wide
in the side of the silo all the way
Gown. That, of course, let in the
air. and unless the hole can be patch
ed up within a few days the food
stuffs will nearly all spoil, after
undergoing the process which they
we're subjected to. Mr. j. J. Heard,
the Bamberg county farm demonstra-
ton agent, and also man sent here
by Mr.. Long, State demonstration
agent, went to assist Mr.. Mayfeld'
who. it is said, had about $4,000
worth of farm products liable to be
ruined. 1t is likely that the greater
part of them will be saved. The
cause of the accident has been
ascribed to two possibilities, either
faulty construction of the silo or
improper mixing of the concrete.

WILL GRIND VELVET BEANS.
Proposed That Machinery to Manu-.
facture New Crop be Installed.

The Cotton Oil company here may
shortly install an addition to it's
plant which will be splendid thing
for our farmers. The vast crop of
velvet beans raised in this section
this year requires additional facilities
for grinding them into feedstuff for
cattle, hogs and stock. 1t is pro-
posed that the oil mill install in con-
nection with its other machinery a
very large mill which will grind up
these beans either alone or will grind
the beans, hulls, corn stalks and
vines into an excellent mixture Of
feeds. The food value of the beans
has been analyzed and found to be
considerably in excess of that of cot
ton seed meal, hulls, or anything of
the kind.
Previous to this year, several small
mills here have been all that was
needed for this purpose, but the far
mers have taken to planting them in
such quantities that these private
mills will not be sufficient this year.
The acreage of the BEANS has been
wonderfully increased and the yield
is also more profuse. Thousands
and thousands of bushels of them
will be harvested in Bamberg county
shortly, and their value when ground
into feed preparations will reach
thousands of dollars. So that the
operation of big mill here for grind
ing them has come to be almost
necessity.

Naval Reserves Called to Colors.

Last week two young Bamberg
men who previously enlisted in the
American naval coast reserve forces
were called to the colors. These
Young men are J. Garland Smoak
and Glenn w. Cope. They have both
now reported to headquarters at
Charleston for active duty. Orders
were sent to them last Thursday, and
Mr.. Smoak reported on Friday, but
as Mr. Cope was lin New York at that
time he had to be wired and con-
seuuently left here for Charleston on
Monday.
There are six other Bamberg boys
enlisted in the coast reserve who are
daily expecting orders to report for
duty. Mr.. Cope and Mr.. Smoak en-
listed at Charleston, while the others
enlisted at Beaufort, which accounts
for them not yet being called out.
But as the Georgetown enlistments
were called out about two weeks ago
and then Charleston, the boys think
it would follow in order for Beau
forts contingent to come next.
The duties of the men in the naval
coast reserve will be confined TO
patroling the American Atlantic coast
during the period of the war unless
an exceptional emergency arises
when they may be given any general
assignment in the navy. The SIX
Bamberg boys who volunteered their
services at Beaufort are: George
Fender, Willis K. Herndon, J. Ben
jamin Black, Jr., Laurie c. Smoak'

Chief Bruce Resigns.

The Bamberg police force has re-
Gently undergone two important
changes, effective Monday October
1st. Mr.. E. c. Bruce, who has been
chief of police since some time last
spring, has resigned that position to
devote his time to farming and other
duties: He has been succeeded
temporarily by Mr.. J. w. Jen-
nings, who has been acting as
night policeman here for the
past few months, but who has
also been a member of the local force
for number of years, serving in
various capacities. Mr.. L. C. Myers,
who moved to Bamberg about year
ago from California with Mr.. D. A.
Reid is now filling the position
made vacant by Mr.. Jennings's s
elevation to chief. Mr.. Myers was
originally from Colleton county, but
went West many years ago, and
served eight years in the army. We
are informed that city council will in
the near future make an addition of
another man to the local police
force.
City council will hold an election
on October 18th for the purpose of
filing the positions of chief OF police
and one night policeman.

Death of MIR. G. S. Folk.

Denmark suffered the loss OF one
of her substantial citizens Friday
night, when Mr.. Christian S. FOLK
a prominent merchant and farmer
of that place, passed away after a
short illness. His death will prove a
distinct loss to Denmark, and was
quite a surprise to friends in BAN
berg, who had not even heard OF
his illness.
Mr.. Folk was 81 years of age, and
had been a resident Of Denmark
since 1881, moving at that time from
his home county of Newberry. IN
1885 he was married to Miss Della
E. Sojourner, who, with twelve chill
dren, survives him. He also left one
brother, DR.. William Folk, of New
berry. Mr.. Folk was we'll known
and admired by all who knew him.
