Cattle King Miller.

In his "Gold Hunters of California
Thomas E. Parish tells some interest
ing anecdotes of the men of the early
days.
Speaking of Henry Miller, a Wes-
tern cattle king, Mr.. Parish says that
none knew better than he the value
of a reliable, efficient man. "Once,
on one of his Kern county ranches,
he had had a foreman with whom he
uuarreled. The foreman said, If it
were not that you are smaller man
than I, l would beat you half to
DEATH. At this Miller threw off his
coat and went for the man. The fore
man succeeded in giving him good
thrashing, then demanded a settle
ment which was made. That all over
with, Miller apologized and hired the
man over again with an advance OF
wages. He knew he had good man. y
Another story of Miller: Il remem-
Der Miller once at Firebaugh's fer
ry, on the San Joaquin river, when he
was buying so much land. 1t was at
breakfast and man called Hog
Johnson began to criticise Miller's
purchases, when Miller turned to
him and said: Hog, you knows dere
iss more peoples born into de world
effery year dan dies out of it, don't
you?' Yes admitted Hog. Vel,
dey all hat to live off de land, and
dere is no more land borned efery
year. Lon Angeles Times.

Miss Black Entertains.

Last Friday night Miss Bessie Lee
Black entertained at her home for
her Sunday-school class. The house
was beautifully decorated. for the oc-
casion with ferns and cut flowers.
Souvenir booklets representing school
days were presented to the guests
at the door by Harriet Virgins. By
them partners and tables were found
for progressive school anagrams. At
each table a different study was TAX
en- up. After this much amusement
was created by portrait drawing
lesson, in which the young artists
were blindfolded.
For a sewing lesson there was a
relay needle threading race. Miss
Mary Williams and Mr.. Marion Rhoad
won in this two out of five times: At
ter these games the young people en-
tered the dining room where they
found their school lunches" hidden
under paper bags presided over by
school Ounce. The lunches con-
sisted of a delightful salad course.
Punch was served from beautiful
booth in the hall at intermissions
during the evening. Misses Minnie
Lee Aver and Alma Black and Mr..
and Mrs. J. B. Black, Jr., helped
Miss Black to make the evening mer-
ry for her guests. A box of candy
was won as first prize by Miss Mary
Williams, and Ounce caps were pre-
sented to Mr.. Roy Free and Miss
Jean Price.

CARLISLE DEFEATED.
Opening Foot Ball Game Lost by Lo-
cal Boys in Charleston.

Carlisle School opened her 1871
football season Saturday in Charles
ton with defeat at the hands Of the
naval training station team. The
game was not played as an inter-
school contest, but was more of a
practice game for both elevens and
served to give Coach Major line on
the weak spots and holes which need
patching up on the Carlisle team.
The coach will devote special atten-
ton to the positions where the first
game proved it most needed, and by
the time the team gets into action
again it will probably be greatly i'm
proved The Carlisle boys were
heavily outweighed by the giant navy
team, but fought gamely, and judg-
ing solely from weight and expert
ence should have been defeated by a
much larger score than they were.
The final count was 20 to nothing,
which is not an overwhelming score
in football, and the local team put
up a creditable exhibition and favor
ably impressed the spectators. They
improved as the game progressed,
and held their heavy opponents to a
draw during the last two quarters.
Turnipseed, who played quarter
back for Carlisle, was the star for
his team, playing a splendid game all
the way through. Nearly all the
Carlisle players are absolutely new
to the game of football, having had
no experience at all. This makes
Coach Majors task exceedingly diff
cult, but before the season is over he
expects to have rounded out team
worthy of representing any prep
school on the gridiron.

Yarborough.Riley.

Chester, Oct. 13.-The wedding of
Miss 10 Marlborough and ]. A. Riley,
which was solemnized Wednesday
afternoon at the lovely country home
of the brides parents, the Rev. and
Mrs. J. H. Marlborough, nine miles
east of the city, was a beautiful and
delightful event. Great crowds OF
friends, neighbors and acquaintances
had been invited to witness the cere-
mony, which was solemnized on the
front veranda, which had been beau
tifully decorated with goldenrod and
autumn foliage, and with it's sylvan
setting furnished scene of the usual,
with romance and nature intermin-
gled in primeval loveliness. There
at the altar improvised among the
lordly oaks with their interlocking
boughs and leaves of multi-colored
tints, with rare and beautiful impress
siveness, the ceremony was performed
of the First Baptist church, and the
solemn VOWS taken that made the two
lives one. Advancing from the hall,
the bride entered with her maid of
honor, Miss Jennie Oates and was
met by the groom who was attended
by w. B. Vaughn. The bride was
becomingly attired in a brown coat
suit with accessories to match, and
carried white carnations, while the
maid of honor wore costume of old
rose taffeta and carried pink carna
tions. AS the bridal party approach
ed the veranda, Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march was beautifully rendered
on the violin by Miss Maggie Turner,
of Winnsboro.
After the ceremony the guests were
invited into the house, where they
rendered congratulations and best
wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Riley, and
were shown the imposing array of
presents, which attested so strikingly
and with such emphasis to the popu
larity of the young couple.
After a short reception Mr.. and
Mrs. Riley motored to Lewis, where
they took the north bound train for
few days trip to Asheville and other
points. Upon their return they will
keep house at 116 Pine street.
This marriage is of local interest
because Mr.. Riley is an old Bamberg
county boy. His home is at Den
mark, and he is a brother of Mr.. w.
L. Riley, of that place. He is grad
uate of Clemson college and for the
past several years has been county
demonstration agent for Chester
county. Mr. Riley was very popular
in Denmark, and has numerous
friends here and throughout the
county, who will congratulate him
upon his good fortune.

How About the County Fair?

We don't suppose it would be
plausible to start such thing now,
but when the war is over and things
begin to get normal again one of the
first public enterprises which Bam-
berg should enter into is a county
fair. There is no reason why great
success could not be made of such a
project from a financial as we'll as ad-
vertising standpoint. Other neigh
boring counties hold them now and
have. been deriving much benefit
therefrom in more ways than one for
several years. We have abundant re-
sources and a rich agricultural coun-
ty, and to postpone the organization
of Bamberg county fair association
longer would be to not only display
lack of public spirit and communi-
ty pride but poor business judgment
also.

Miss Miriam Rice, superintendent
of the Woman's S Missionary society of
the Bamberg-Barnwell associati ton,
requests publication of the following:
Because of congested condition in
Charleston, due to war activities, the
Citadel Square church has found it
impossible to entertain the w. NJ. U.
convention. Several towns were in
terviewed in regard to extending an
invitation to the body, but all efforts
were futile to secure place. A call
ed meeting of the board was held in
Columbia on the 9th instant for the
purpose of deciding what it was best
to do.
The action of the board was as
follows: !:
i. That instead of the regular
meeting of the w. NJ. u, we hold ex-
ecutive board sessions with confer
ences for associate officers of asso-
Citations.
2. That we accept the invitation
of LaurenS to meet with them.
"3. That the delegates be limited
to members Of the eXevut ye board
suparintendents OF associations and
associate superintendents and chair
men of mission study.
The sessions of executive board
will be held Nov. 18th at 800 and
7:30 p. m. Associate superintendent
will hold conference Wednesday a.
m. Full sessions will open Wednes-
day 1890 a. m"

Corn Meal Breads.

The most common substitute for
wheat -four in use in the South is
corn meal, the water ground meal be-
ing the best to use for quick-breads
such as wafles, mullins, and pan
cakes. The following are some re-
cipes used by demonstration work
ers. All measurements are level. Re-
cipes will usually serve six persons:
CORN MEAL AND WHEAT WAF.

1-2 cups milk; 8 cups -four; table
spoons sugar; 1 tablespoon baking

spoon melted butter; 1-2 teaspoon

Chief W. G. Kirkland.

City council held meeting Tues
day afternoon at which the police
force of Bamberg was reorganized,
due to recent designations and chang
es. Mr.. w. G. kirkland was elected
chief of police. Mr.. Kirkland filled
this position several years ago and
gave general satisfaction. Mr.. L. G..
Myers, who has been temporarily on
the local force for the last few weeks

manently, and Mr.. J. w. Jennings,
who has been acting as chief lately,
will now resume his old place on the
force as head of the street depart
ment, where he has done good work.
This makes three men now regular

to organize for active general health
work, and to employ a physician to

ing the people to live under proper

forward step, and are deriving much
benefit therefrom. DR.. Vance w
Brabham, formerly of Bamberg, is
conducting this work in Orangeburg
county with much success. All the
physicians of the county are expect

which will also be attended
by DR.. Riser, of Columbia, member

Ray met the Southern train from Au-
gusta, and discovered trunk un-
loaded therefrom containing whis-
key. The trunk was sent from Jack

ed and confiscated and is now being
held by the authorities at Sheriff
