Rev. Henry Grady Hardin.

The following from the Charleston
News and Courier will be of interest
to the many friends in Bamberg coun-
ty of Rev. Mr.. Hardin:
The Rev. Henry Grady Hardin, the
new pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, who opens his ministry here
tomorrow; is yet a young man. He
entered the South Carolina confer
ence in November, 1911, since which
time, after two years service in, a
pastorate in York county, where he
spent his youth and commenced his
ministry, he has served the two i'm
portant fields of Denmark and Nc
Coll. He comes here from McColl.
He has been a success in church
work from the very start. He began
as a lay officer in the circuit in which
he first served as youthful pastor,
while a boy in knee breeches. He
was the last of four brothers to grad
uate at Wofford college, where he
made a fine record as a scholar, and
took the intercollegiate prize in or
atory at the close of his college
course. He is the younger brother of
DR.. E. K. Hardin, who recently died
at Asheville from pneumonia follow
ing grippe. Mr.. Hardin is on the
threshold of what promises to be a
successful career in the Method
list ministry. His father is of the
Hardin family of Chester and his
mother was a Clinkscales, a sister of
Prof. ~ClinkscaIes, of Wofford college.

Schools Closed Friday.

The graded school closed Friday
for the Christmas holidays. On &C
count of the fact that the school was
closed several weeks when the infu-
enza quarantine was on, only one
week of holiday vacation will be CIV
en- this year, and school will be re-
sumed on Monday, December 80. On
Friday many of the classes had
Christmas trees in the various class
rooms, much to the enjoyment of
the pupils and teachers.
Carlisle school closed Friday also
for the, holidays, and the students
and teachers are now enjoying one
weeks vacation for the Christmas
festivities.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The weather for the past three
weeks has been about as bad as II
we'll could be. The fall previous,
though, was so ideal that there
should be no cause for complaint.
The friends of Miss Dorothy
Adams, who is teaching school in
Colleton county, will be panied to
learn of her illness. A few days
ago she was stricken with appendi-
citis. She was operated on last week
at the Clara EsDorn hospital, Wal
terboro.
There are but a few days remain
ing in which you can redeem your
savings stamp pledge made in June.
The county is way behind, and 1t is
earnestly hoped that the people will
remember their obligation and save
the county the disgrace of having
pledged money and failed to keep
the pledge.
The holiday trade in Bamberg this
year was the heaviest in several
years, according to many of the mer-
chants. Money seemed to be plen-
tiful, and about the only thing that
held down a still larger trade vas the
scarcity of goods. This was espec-
tally true as to holiday gift goods,
which many of the merchants found
it almost impossible to secure at all.
There is a general disposition
among the farmers to hold on to
their cotton. Very little of the staple
is being placed on the market now,
and there is rather lively bidding
when a good lot of cotton is to be
found. On Thursday, though the
market price for cotton was only
around 20 cents, n gentleman dis
posed of a bale of good cotton for
20 IA cents. Most of the farmers
seem to think they are entitled to at
least 35 cents and are holding in the
hope of getting it.
Lieut., and Mrs. E. H. Hender-
son arrived in the city last week from
Waco, Texas, where Lieut.. Hender-
son has been located at an army
training camp. Lieut.. Henderson has
received his discharge from the army,
and will soon reopen his law Office
in this city. He was the first man in
Bamberg county to be drafted into
the army. Within a few months after
he entered camp, he received an ap-
pointment to the officers training
school, from which he was gradual
ed with the rank Of second lieuten-
ant. He was later promoted to first
lieutenant.

How Mr.. Smith Rode.

Lawyers are sometimes put to ii
with witnesses as Vas a lawyer who
was cross examining a witness as to
the way in which a Mr.. Smith rode
a horse.
"And how does Mr.. Smith ride a
horse?" asked the lawyer.
Generally in a saddle, sir" was
the answer.
"Yes?" said the lawyer. "Quite
remarkable. But what gait does be
ride?"
"He never rides any gate at all,
sir" was the answer. "But I have
seen his son take every gate on the
farm"
"Ah," said the lawyer. "Perhaps
you will tell the jury how Mr.. Smith
rides when he is in company with
Others"
eyes, SIR" said the willing wit
ness. "He keeps up with them when
he can and when he can't he falls
behind"
The lawyer by this time was ruff
fed.
NOW I want a clear answer to my
next question:" he said. "How does
Mr.. Smith ride when he is alone?"
ri don't know, sir" was the reply.
81 have never been with him when he
was alone

The surgeon has extracted the in

But it doesn't keep correct time.
This business Of calling "T1me I" a

It wants something, and 1t doesn't

to you on a plate. But General Per

And the War Department won't let her

Then you're taken to a Red Cross.

ment Of TeutOns Through Ter
ritory OF Russians.

London, February 2l-From the
Gulf of Finland to the southern bor-
der of Volhynia, the German advance
into Russia is progressive, but tele-
gram from Pctrograd, dated Wednes-
day, says:
"Bolsheviki leaders declare that II
the German advance continues they
will defend Petrograd with the Red
Guard, and harass the German adj
vance by guehilla warfare. No plans
had been made for evacuation of the
city.
1.-THE Bolsheviki say this is a new
war, not the old war, and that they
will present united front against the
Germans. They believe the proletar-
lat of Russia will be able to continue
the struggle"
The main detectives of the German
advance at present are said to be Re-
val, on the coast of Esthonia; Pskoff,
between Dvinsk and Petrograd, and
the important centers Of Minsk and
Vitebsk.
Hapsal and Werder, in Esthonia,
southeast of Reval, have been occu-
pned. The invaders also are nearing
Pskoff, Mohiev and Minsk. The i'm
portant railway junction of Mol
dechno, fifty miles northwest Of Minsk
is reported to have been captured by
the Teutons. The occupation OF
Dvinsk on Monday was complete
surprise to the civilian and military
population The Germans met with
hardly any resistance and took artill-
cry and much ammunition.
The German advance probably will
continue until an authenticated copy
of the message of surrender is re-
ceived from the Bolsheviki govern
ment in Petrograd This is now on its
way.
Foreign Minister Won Kuehlmann
told the German Reichstag that he be-
lieved the new war would bring pea "e

to appeals for help, DR.. Won Seydlcr,

DRAFT CALL
Is Expected May War Secretary
Able to Equip 5OO.O0O Men-1O,.
900 Recruits a Week to
Send Overseas.

Washington, February 21-Secre-
tary of War Baker has on his desk a
l memorandum from the General STAFF
of the Admy, recommending that the
second increment of the National
| Army be called under the draft on or
about May /, and while the Secretary
has not given his official o. X. to this
programme, there is little doubt that
| he will do so within the next two or
three days.
According to the plan now pro
\ posed by the General Staff, 10000 men
| will be drafted at a time, all of them
to be recruited from class |, created
under the QUESTIONABLE system OF
classifying the men of military age.
| Instructions have been prepared for
dispatch to the local Exemption
Boards about April Is, apportioning
the number of men which each will
be called on to produce. The exact
number of men which will be called
has been determined, but the general
| impression at the War Department
today was that only 100000 would be
needed in the immediate future. If
this is true the apportonmcnt will be
made on that basis.
1t is the purpose of the War De-
partment to call the men to the col
)rs in bodies of 10000 each a week
It the beginning Of the draft, but If
he transport service increases to the
joint where more than that numbc
IAN be moved to Europe each sevC
lays the men will be called more rap,
dly.
There are approximately 100000
men in Glass |. This is the class
made up of young men found to be
me- st available for military service.
1t includes these without dependent
families, without occupation in vital
Industries and without any of the dis
qualifications named in the law, eX-
err such physical disqualifcatons as
'ay be developed on examination. 1t
calculated by Provost Marshal Gen.
al Crowder that the entire $4,000
zen to be called in the near future
al be obtained without exhausting
lass |.
Before this draft is concluded it is
> expectation of the War Depart
Il mt that Congress will have passed
Z nending legislation providing that
all young men who have attained the
az of Il years since the first regis
{ alton took place shall be registered
and classified. 1t is figured from cen
us and other statistics that there are
approximately 100000 youths in this
COUNTRY who would be required to
register under such law.
