BASEBALL MORE POPULAR
 THAN BULL FIGHTS

According to the latest reports from Venezuela, baseball beats bull fighting. From the American point of view there IS nothing remarkable in such a state ment. We always knew it did But Pitcher Mutis of the Borinquen Stars the Porto Rican baseball club that recently visited Venezuela for a series of game, says that the sentiment has got hold in the South American re- public where for centuries 'Fla corrida de toros' has been the national sport. People there still go afternoons to see the "toreador' give the deadly thrust to his victim, but a greater number at tend the morning baseball game, and their enthusiasm at the "juago de pelota" is more intense and continu ous. They howl at the players and at each other, convincing proof that the fan has appeared in the South Ameri- can republic. AS players, the natives have not reached Porto Rican stand ards, they are rather weak fielders and batters. But throw Ave Maria how they can throw. According to Mutis, Walter Johnson and Iris Speaker would sit up and take notice if they saw the "Venezolanos" ''tirando la pelota."
 So great is the desire of the people of Caracas to learn the American game that Nuts and one or two of his companions were persuaded to remain after the series to teach enthusiasts how to play it. It looks as if the pitchers of the future may come from Caracas or Maracaibo instead of the Texas league.

Gil. J. F. Carter, ESQ.,, 'of this city,
was appointed to represent Bamberg
county on the State council of de-
tense.
The appointment of Mr.. Carter is
a most timely one, and better Sc
lection could not have been made,
Mr.. Carter, in addition to being one
OF the leading members of the Bam-
berg bar, is one of the county's lead
ing and most progressive citizens.
He is popular with and knows every
body in the county, and no one
doubts that Bamberg county will be
well represented on the State council
in the person Of Mr.. Carter.

A Pair of French SHOES.

A few days ago Lieut.. G. D. Ryan
sent to a friend in Bamberg a pair
of wooden shoes from France. The
shoes have been shown to number
of people and are quite a curiosity,
being perhaps the first wooden shoes
ever seen in this city. Wooden shoes
are used extensively throughout Eu-
rope, especially in the Dutch coun-
tries, and since the war has caused
a great scarcity of leather across the
water, many other countries have
adopted them more or less generally.
These shoes are made from solid
blocks of wood, with the block cut
out to fit the foot. They do not look
nearly so ludicrous as one may lmag-
Inc, and are doubtless a whole lot
better than no shoes at all.
Lieut.. Ryan enlisted in the service
several months ago, having won a
lieutenant's commission in the Off
GERS reserve training camp in Geor-
gia. He sailed for France some
weeks ago, in the engineers corps,
and is probably now engaged in the
big battle, where several thousand
American engineers are taking part
in the great struggle.

Six Leave for Camp Jackson.

Monday morning 6 young Bamberg
county men left on the SAB train for
Camp Jackson, Columbia, to enter
the military service of Uncle Sam.
Bamberg's quota in this call was on
ly five men, but the sixth, Mr.. L. H.
Lancaster, of Denmark, who was one
of the substitutes summoned to ap-
pear before the board Sunday, told
the board that he was ready to go
and anxious to do so, and upon his
own request was sent along with the
other five. Special mention is made
of this, inasmuch as Mr.. Lancaster
was not one of the five selected for
this call, and would not have had to
report for some time, at least, had
he waited his turn in the draft. The
board states that any others of the
registered men who desire to do So,
may enter the camp at any time by
applying to them for permission.
The following are the five selected
men who left Monday morning: John
S. Tyler, Denmark; E. c. Barker,
Olar; Ennis Breland, Olar; R. T.
Lewis, Cope; j. G. Dukes, Florence.

False Answers is Charged.

Hyman Gordon, young white
man of this city, left for Brooklyn,
n. Y, last Wednesday night, being
summoned to appear before the local
exemption board at that place to an
swer to the charge of falsely answer
ing certain questions in his question
naire. Young Gordon was arrested
here a few days previously by Unit
ed States Marshal j. L. Sims. Bond
was furnished for his appearance in
New York.
Young Gordon states that the
charge is the result of misunder
standing, and is positive that he has
not Intentionally falsified his ques-
tionnaire. 1t is alleged that he stat
ed in his answers that he was mar
ried and had one child, whereas up
on investigation, it is said, it was
found that the child was dead at
the time the QUESTIONABLE was fill
ed out. Gordon states that he reg
istered in New York State, but came
to Bamberg before he received his
QUESTIONABLE, which was filled out
here and forwarded to Brooklyn, and
he further says that he did not know
that his child was dead when he an
swered the questions.
Gordon came to Bamberg several
months ago, and has been employed
in a local barber shop, and has made
quite good many friends here, who
are inclined to the belief that any in
correct answers were not made in
tentionally to keep out of the army.
The young man was confident that
he could easily straighten out the
matter when he reached his old
