Farm Traction Engine.

DR.. F. F. Johnson has purchased
a traction engine for use on his large
plantation near town. This is some
thing new to the farmers of this Sec
ton, and it is believed will prove
great labor saving device as we'll as
economical. The name of the ma
chine is the international traction en-
gine, and it will harrow. plow and.
in fact, do almost any kind of farm
work. Only one man is required to
operate it, and it runs from two to
three plows at time. and will easily
plow six acres day. 1t uses about
16 gallons of gasoline per day. max
ing the cost of operation per acre
about 35 cents. The engine has ten
horse power in the field and
twenty at the pulley. The cost Of
the engine and the entire equipment
is approximately s1,250, and many
experiments and demonstrations dur
ing the past week indicate that it
should work admirably in this Sec
tion. Our farmers are eager for i'm
proyements, and doubtless in a few
years not few of these traction en-
rgines will be seen on the farms OF
Bamberg county, if they prove to be
successful.

Ambulance Company Number 20.

Mr.. R. T. Fairey, who taught for
the last few years in Carlisle School
here, was in Bamberg on Monday of
this week. At the close of the
session at Carlisle MIR. Fairey
volunteered for the ambulance corps
of the army and was placed in am
bulance company number 26 and sent
to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for train
ing, where he has been ever since.
He has been granted six months
furlough from the army and will be
in this section during most of that
time. Mr.. Fairey stated that the
boys of ambulance company number
26, of which he is member and
which is composed entirely of South
Carolinians, are now reasonably
certain of not being sent to France
before next spring, and in that event
he will probably go across with them.
Three other Bamberg county boys
are members of this company, two
Morris brothers and Mr.. James R.

NEGROES DISPLAY LOYALTY.
Enthusiastic SendOff Given to rs
Drafted Colored Men.

On last Friday morning Bamberg
icounty's first contingent OF negro
soldiers left here As strong in a
snecial car over the Southern railway
for Camp Jackson near Columbia.
There they will enter into several
months of military training and prep
aration for the new national army.
The interest which the colored peo-
pie of Bamberg and the surrounding
sections took in these men and their
mission was manifested time and
again. and hundreds of them gathered
at the train to see them off.
But the climax of the negroes en-
thusiasm was reached on THURSDAY
night. Probably no more enthusiast
tic celebration was ever held in Bam-
berg county than that which these
people carried out in honor of the
IS drafted negro soldiers. Their
display of patriotism and loyalty to
the cause was really inspiring and
they deserve much credit for the or
derly and dignified manner IN which
it was carried out.
The drafted negroes were escorted
from the court house to the colored
Baptist church by a guard of honor.
being led by the Bamberg colored
brass band playing the appropriate
tune of The Battle Cry of Freedom.
At the church the exercises we're
opened with brief remarks by Rev.
H. H. Matthews, master OF cere-
monies. at the conclusion of which
the audience arose and sang the
opening hymn, MY Country 'Tis of
Thee This was followed by Rev.
W. W. Chappelle reading the 46th
Psalm from the Scriptures. Prayer
was then offered gy Rev. L. W. Will
liams and a song, "Onward Chris
tian Soldiers" was rendered. Five
minute talks were then made by j..
Arthur Nimmons, Rev. E. W. Graham.
Rev. J. D. Sanders, Rev. E. Sims, and
Rev. L. W. Williams. All of these
speakers talked in a patriotic vein.
expressing their opinions that Ameri-
cas- cause was righteous one and
declaring in each instance their rea-
sons for so believing. Hattie Stewart
next rendered a recitation. The Col
ored Soldier" GLORY Halleluyah'
was sung. and then the principal
speaker of the evening, Rev. W. G.
White. was introduced and made his
address. At the conclusion of this
speech R. P. Bellinger. Esq, was
called upon and responded with few
remarks on behalf of the white peo-
pie present. J. D. Jones, one of the
drafted negroes, then made an eX-
temporaneous speech from the stand
point of the drafted men. using the
most perfect flow Of English that it
has ever been our privilege to hear
from a negro speaker. Here the au-
dience again stood and this time sang
the Star Spangled Banner. after
which the programme was concluded
with the benediction.
The assemblage was then adjourn
ed to the church yard, where an ele-
CANT feast was served to the drafted
nesroes and their friends under bril-
liant electric lights which were in
stalled especially for the occasion.
The church was filled to its capacity,
probably as many more people hav-
ing to remain on the outside. Quite
number of white people were pres
ent and those who did not attend de-
prived themselves OF something real
ly worthwhile The church was taste
fully decorated with red, white and
blue colors and American flags.

thriving business nowadays, and
many mules are being sold to the
farmers in this section. They all
seem to have the cash to pay too, and
in.the great majority of sales the ami

mortgages being given and no credit
asked for. That is little unusual
and is sure sign of prosperity for
our farmers. Several car loads OF
stock have already been received here
from the Western markets.

\ PASSING INVITATION.

A cursory reading of British conl- ment on the Presidents last note may lead to the impression that it has stirred up a feeling akin to resent ment in the English breast, and su- perficially, that may be true. But there is another view of the matter. In every discussion of the note there is full recognition of the Presidents good will, of his sincerity, of the diff ficulty of his position and of his abil- ity as a statesman.
 In the affairs of everyday life, when an able man comes to his friends with advice that is recognized as springing from good motives and sincerity, the advice may be displeas- ing. There may even be some dis Iussion from the one who receives the advice upon the propriety of minding ones own business. But in the long run wisdom, sincerity and friendliness do not make enemies. Their effect outlasts any immediate irritation they may produce and in the end is good.
 In substance the President has asked the warning nations, all of whom profess in general terms the same ends, to make their professions specific. That is a thing that must be done sometime. There is hope that it may be done now and the leader of this Nation occupies place which makes him the man of all men to ask if it may not be done now.- St. Louis Republic.
