Cotton Opening Fast

One taking a ride through the
country around Bamberg is on every
hand confronted by fields Of cotton
white unto harvest. The recent hot
weather has opened the aeecy staple
in swift manner, and the only OBJ
stacle in the way of early marketing
of cotton is the shortage of labor.
Already exhorbitant prices are being
paid in some sections in an endeavor
to get hands to pick cotton.
Last week II bales were ginned
by the Cotton Oil Company, and quite
a few by the Farmers Gin Company.
These bales were sold on the local
market for around thirty cents the
pound. Within the next week or two
the gins will be running full time,
and turning out the baled product to
full capacity.
Within the past two weeks the
cotton crop has met with serious de-
terioration. Several farmers have
given it as their opinion that the crop
has deteriorated at least twenty-five
per cent. from the hot drought. Up
to three weeks ago, this county had
prospects of the best crop in years,
possibly even better than last year.
But the plant has thrown off, fruit
rapidly as result of the hot wave.
Refreshing showers have fallen in
many places throughout the county
this week, and this will doubtless
be of considerable benefit to cotton,
especially to the young crops.

County Campaign Closes.

The county campaign closed Tues
day, when the last meeting on the
itinerary was held in the court house
in Bamberg. The meeting was at
tended by about 100 voters, and per-
haps twenty-five ladies and children.
Each one of the candidates was Civ
en- a very respectful hearing, and the
meeting was uneventful.
Candidates for county commission
or were the first to speak, and candi-
dates for the Legislature spoke last.
Most of the candidates spent good
portion of their time in discussing
the war and declaring their atti-
tude toward it and the administra-
tion. Nearly all the candidates were
we'll received and were literally ap-
plauded.

Automobile Stolen.

Last Saturday night, or rather
early Sunday morning, some un-
known parties stole Mr.. w. P. Hern-
don's automobile, which was parked
in front of his residence on New
Bridge street. All efforts to recover
the stolen car had been unavailing
up to yesterday morning. The car
had been put into trim for trip
Sunday morning, and the thieves
happened to the best kind of luck.
Dr. j. NJ. Love, who resides next
door to Mr.. Herndon's residence, also
had his car parked in front of his
home, right near Mr.. Herndon's car.
DR.. Love was trying to beat the hot
wave by sleeping upon his front
porch, and during the night, about
1870 o'clock, he saw some one who
had tie appearance of being negro
soldier, walking around his car.
Upon hearing some noise the party
made off, and Dr. Love saw another
party nearby. 1t is thought that
these same parties returned later
and secured Mr.. Herndon's car.
Mr.. Frank Folk, who resides at
Mr.. Herndon's home, heard the car
when the engine was started, and
upon investigating saw the car l7av-
ing. He Immediately yoke DR.. Love
and the two followed as quickly as
possible, but they never even came
in sight of the fleeing thieves. A
telephone message was sent to
Orangeburg requesting the night po-
liceman at that place to intercept the
car when it reached Orangeburg, but
when Mr.. Folk and DR.. Love reached
Orangeburg, they state that they
found the night policeman asleep,
and the thief had doubtless passed
in the mean time. Mr.: Folk con-
tinued the trail, following it tc St..
Matthews, where it was lost
It is thought that two negro SOL
diers from one of the training camps
stole the car perhaps in order to get
back to camp. Numerous incidents
of this kind have been reported from
other parts of the State.

Returns to Washington.

Congressman James F. Byrnes was
in the city Saturday. shaking hands
with his many friends, here. Con-
gresham Byrnes stated that he was
leaving the following day for Wash
ington to be present at the opening
of congress Monday morning. Con-
gress recently has been holding re-
cess sessions, and Mr.. Byrnes took
advantage of the opportunity to ad-
dress the voters of the district. How
ever, now that several matters of
grave importance are up for consid-
Grafton in the house, Mr.. Byrnes con-
siders that his duty CARRIES him to
his post. The revenue bill and the
man-power measure are two of the
most important matters now before
congress, and although the primary
election is to be held next Tuesday,
Mr.. Byrnes feels that he should leave
his interests in the campaign to his
friends and return to his duties in
Washington. The life of a faithful
congressman, such as Mr.. Byrnes has
proved himself, is arduous at it's best,
and when a district gets a bood man
in the place it is well enough to let
him stay there, as it is we'll known
fact that it requires many years to
attain the position of prominence and
influence that Congressman Byrnes
now possesses. Mr.. Byrnes feels con-
fident that he will be reelected on
the first ballot.

Tobacco Warehouse in Sight.

Application has been made to the
secretary of State for charter for
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse OF
Bamberg, with a capital stock of s10,-
900. The books of subscription are
now open at G. R. Brabham's Sons,
and it is hoped the full amount will
be subscribed at once.
The planting of tobacco in Bam-
berg county is no longer an expert
ment. 1t has proved to be immense
ly successful the first year, and prepa-
rations are being made to plant on
a much larger scale next season.
Some of the leading planters here,
realizing the imperative need of
market in Bamberg for the local pro-
duct, have made the preliminary
plans for the building of ware
house. 1t is quite certain that the
acreage next year will not only war
rant the building of warehouse,
but bids fair to make the concern a
profitable investment. With a suit
able warehouse in Bamberg, the
marketing Of the crop will be facili-
tated in a much more profitable and
convenient manner, and insure to the
planters a more ready market than
by having to ship to some distant
warehouse.

Colored Soldier Killed in France.


The first colored soldier from
Bamberg county to give his life in the
cause of liberty on the battlefields
of France was Corporal .Alonzo
Kearse, of Ehrhardt. Relatives OF
Corporal Kearse received telegram
from the war department on satur-
day advising them of the death OF
of the colored soldier, and the casu-
atty list published Monday contained
his name among those killed in &C
tion.
Alonzo Kearse was selectman
from this county. and he was draft
ed into the army last February.
Soon thereafter he was included in a
colored contingent to go to France.
That he was an exemplary soldier is
shown by the fact that he had been
promoted to corporal. No details
have, of course, been given concern
ing his death other than that he was
killed in action.
This is the second Bamberg coun-
ty soldier to meet death in action
in France, the other being Riley
G. Cope, white volunteer from this
city.
