Shooting ARRAY at Olar.

\ shooting affray took place last
week on the plantation of Mr.. W. |.
Rice, near Olar. Two negroes. Will
Patterson and May Rice, were
engaged in the difficulty. 1t is said
the two negroes got into a row, and
Rice. seeing that Patterson was arm
ed with a revolver, went off to a
house and procured a carbine rifle.
He then returned and told Patterson
he was ready for him at which time
Patterson made an attempt to draw
his revolver and was Immediately
shot throught the left shoulder by
Rice. the ball penetrating the negro S
body. The wound while serious, will
not cause death unless some unfore-
seen complications set in, and Rice
is in Jail here charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill. When
an officer was sent to arrest him he
was found still armed with the car
bine rifle.

Motor Fire Truck Arrives.

At last the motor truck to be used
in fighting fires has arrived in Bam-
berg and presents very attractive
appearance as it runs through the
streets. The order for this truck had
been placed many months ago, so long
in fact, that many people had for
gotten about it, and it has been bad
ly needed time and again since the
order was sent out. It finally got
here Friday, however, after being
driven through the country from
Charlotte. The machine is splen-
did addition to the scant fire fighting
apparatus which the town had before,
and will enable the fire fighters to get
the hose and reel to the scene of fires
in short order now. The truck is
painted in bright red, the color which
practically all city fire departments
have adopted, and bears the large
gold letters, "B. F. D. meaning
Bamberg Fire Department. This is
the step in the proper direction and
may mean a great thing for Bamberg
some day.

Sailor Tom Fielder.

Nearly all the Bamberg boys who
have enlisted in the navy and some
of those in the army have paid brief
visits home since entering the service
Of their country. But the -aa7f has
one young man at least who has not
been here since his enlistment many
months ago. This is Tom Fielder.
Tom is serving Uncle Sam ably, and
hasn't had :i.ne to get back. He is
passing through some exciting and
valuable experiences. He has been
across the pond and has already
traversed the war zone several times,
having seen considerable service with
the American naval fleet on the other
side and visited both France and
Spain. While he has not had an op-
portunity to get home, his relatives
and friends here have heard from
him frequently, and Tom is sound
and we'll.

were completely destroyed. Mr.. Folk
was in Charleston at the time of the
fire, as he is working in the navy
yard down there. Mr.. Folk was
hevvy loser, as he had recently al
lowed his insurance policy to lapse,
and he, therefore, had no insurance
whatever.
The home of Mr.. w. C. Zeigler,
on the opposite side of the street to
that of Mr.. Folk, caught several
times and it was only by the hard
est kind of work that it was prevent
ed from burning. Many other homes
were endangered, and with the Sc
rious situation which confronted the
people a good many of the stores
were closed to allow everyone posi-
Bile to help fight the two fires, as the
wind was still blowing furiously. For
tunately the waterworks and hose
worked admirably and splendid work
was accomplished, the fire being
checked before any serious damage
was done to Mr.. Zeigler's home. Boys
from the Carlisle school rendered
efficient service along with the cit
izens of the town especially in saw
ing the Zeigler home.

TWO RESIDENCES DESTROYED.
Messrs. F.. G.. Bruce and j. {. Folk
Lose Homes.-Others in Danger.

Many of Bamberg's handsome res
licences experienced a narrow escape
from destruction by fire last Thurs
day. What threatened to be one of
the worst conhagrations in the town S
history occurred that day when, with
an unusually strong wind blowing,
two fires were burning at the same
time in widely separated parts of the
city 1t is a godsend for our people
that the fire did not break out in
the dead of the night, for there is
no telling what damage would have
been done had such been the case.
The fire originated in small out
house on the property of Mr.. E. C.
Hruce on Main street, close to his
residence That was about one
o'clock in the day. 1t is not known
how it got started, but when the lit
tie blaze was first noticed by Mr.. J..
NJ. Grimes it could have in all prob
ability been put out with two or
three buckets of water. 1t seems
that there was no water at Mr..
Bruce's, however, or at least none
could be found at the time, and fann-
ed by the high wind the fire soon
spread to the residence which burn
ed rapidly and was totally destroyed.
A considerable portion of the furni-
ture was saved, but much of it was
damaged and even broken up through
excitement and hasty handling by the
people, Mr.. Bruce carried 1900 in
surance on the house and $1,000 on
his furniture, but this was not near
enough to cover the property burn
ed and consequently he is heavy
loser.
The wind swept the fire in north
easterly direction, the home of Mr..
J. NJ. Grimes, across the street, being
directly in its path and once caught.
With valiant work this house was
saved. 1t is possible that the dry
shingle roof of the home of Mr.. ].
C. Folk, more than quarter of a
mile distant, may have been ignited
from flying spark With the peo-
pie working nearer the scene of the
original fire this one was almost un-
noticed until the entire house was
in flames. That gave very little op-
portunity to save anything and the
house and nearly all the furniture

3. NJ. I. Wins From Carlisle.

In a long drawn out game with
much .wrangling Bailey Military in
stitute won over the Carlisle school
here in football Friday by the score
of 90 to O. The game was marred
by considerable unnecessarily rough
playing, being probably one of the
toughest games played in South
Carolina either between colleges or
otherwise in several years. The
roughness was mostly due to lack
of experience, however, and not
generally to dirty playing. No SER
ious injuries were suffered.
Carlisle started out strong and
had the advantage of their opponents
in the first period but the visitors
probably outweighed them 20 pounds
to the man, and this with a wider
experience was more than the locals
could overcome and Bailey outplayed
them for the last three periods.
Carlisle put up a scrappy game all
the way, and showed that she has
the grit and staying qualities even
in the face of defeat. Many for
ward passes were executed by both
sides, usually with successful re-
suits. The Bailey eleven was fire.
quently penalized for off side play
and roughing it up, and twice was
called back and penalized after cross
ing Carlisle's goal line for apparent
touchdowns.
Wright, playing right half back
for Bailey, furnished the sensation
of the game, intercepting forward
passes, making beautiful tackles, go
ing for many long gains and scoring
his teams first two touchdowns, one
on a 55 yard run after receiving a
forward pass from King, a former
Carlisle student, playing centre for
Bailey. Wood, at full back for the
visitors, played a good game, as did
Phillip Cox, Denmark boy, who
played left end. Stone, Bailey's quar-
ter, handled his team we'll and went
through the line for ten yards and
the final touchdown near the close
of the game. Two OF the three goals
after touchdown were kicked Sue
cessfully. For Carlisle the best work
was done by Gibson at full back,
while Sanders on end and Manuel in
the line both starred, and Turnipseed
played we'll at quarterback. The Off
Gals were: Referee, Carter (Caroli-
na); umpire, Crum (Wofford; head
linesman, Lyon Clemson Time of
periods Is, y, Is, -.
The next game to be played BY
Carlisle. which will conclude her
schedule for this season. will be
against the Darlington high school al

Hit on Head With Hammer.

In a difficulty about six o'clock on
Wednesday evening of last week at
Midway, Lonnie Stokes, negro, was
dangerously wounded by a blow On
the back of the head with hammer.
The blow was inflicted by another ne
gro named Smith 1t is said that the
Stokes negro is half-witted and
brought about the affair, even though
Smith was trying to avoid him. The
wounded man is badly hurt, though
the injury will probably not prove
fatal. Smith is in Jail here pending
the outcome of his victims injuries
before any definite charge can be
made against him.

That's How Detroit
Became the Foremost
and Famous MOtOrtOwn

You hear it over and over again
How in the world did Detroit happen to
become the headcenter of the automo-
bile industry. where more cars are
turned out than in all the rest of the
country?'
Samuel l.. Smith, the strong, unshowy
citizen who rests from his labors at the
ripe old age OF 81, was large part of
the answer.
At the threshold Of the century he was
the first to test the gainful possibilities
of "horseless carriage" production on a
large scale.
How clearly he foresaw the commercial
future Of explosive propulsion applied to
vehicles is written in the pre-eminence
of this Industry over all other manufac-
turing developments of the century. In
1916 the number of cars produced was
approximately $4,000 with valuation
of $500 100000.
What was vision TO Samuel L. Smith
seventeen years ago has become a golden
verify, so prodigious that the govern
ment seems to think it is good for $75,-
100000 for the war chest.
1t is a splendid heritage to leave ones
family-the distinction of having been
a pioneer and pathfinder in the making
and marketing of the most useful and
fascinating product Of the age
