Christmas Packages.

The parcel post business at the
Bamber postofice has grown to tre-
mendous proportions, and at this sea-
son Of the year we are crowded for
room to accommodate incoming and
outgoing parcels. Persons receiving
notices of parcels should call for
them promptly. There will be con-
siderable congestion as Christmas ap-
proaches, and persons having parcels
to send away should pack them care
fully, wrap and tie securely, and mail
them early. It will be impossible for
the Office force to render satisfactory
service during the rush just before
Christmas, and those who wait until
two or three days before Christmas
to mail their packages will have on
" themselves to blame if they wait a
considerable time at the office before
being served. It takes time to weigh
packages, write receipts for those to
be insured, cancel the stamps and
otherwise prepare the packages for
dispatch, and those persons who bring
in packages during the rush hours
may expect to have to wait. Bring
your packages early-don't wait till
two or three days before Christmas
and don't bring them to the Office be-
tween the morning trains, for that is
always a rush time at the Office, and
don't wait until late in the afternoon,
lust while we are busy as can be get
ting ready the mail for the six o'clock
train. A. w. KNIGHT,
Postmaster.

PREPARING TO PLANT TOBACCO
Many Acres Will be Devoted to the
Weed the Coming Year.

The past year about 700 acres OF
tobacco were planted in the immed-
late vicinity of Bamberg, and in near
ly every case splendid profits result
ed therefrom. A conservative esti-
mate of the average yield per acre is
700 pounds. The coming year it is
practically certain that at least 1900
acres will be planted in tobacco in
close proximity to Bamberg. With
only ordinary seasons for the crop,
it is reasonable to figure therefore
that the city of Bamberg will market
at least 100000 pounds of tobac-
co for the year 1920, far more than
ever before in it's history. This is a
good prospect and Bamberg bids fair
to become an important tobacco mar
ket in the future, which will mean
much to the business interests and
prosperity of this community. With
the idea of combating the work Of the
boil -weevil the reports from several
other sections of the county indicate
that a large peanut crop will also be
planted.

SON KILLS FATHER.
Lawyer johnson Was Taking His Son
to Task When Shot Was Fired.

On Wednesday of last week Law
yer Johnson, a negro living on the
plantation of Dr. J. S. Matthews about
three miles from the town Of Den
mark, was shot with a revolver by his
own son, boy about 1S or 19 years
old. Johnson was shot only one time
but the bullet wound proved fatal,
and he died Friday night at the Voor-
hees hospital in Denmark. The ell
der Johnson bore a good reputation
as negro, but his son who did the
shooting is said to be bad charac-
ter; he escaped shortly after the
shooting and has not been captured
It seems that Lawyer Johnson own
ed an automobile which he prohibited
the boy from using, but the boy had
evidently got hold of it in some way
and his father was admonishing him
about the car and started to whip
him. The result was that the boy
opened fire upon him and inflicted
the mortal wound.

lamation ordering an election to de-
eide the matter of annexing portion
of Colleton county to Bamberg coun-
ty, and the election will be held on

ton.

animously, and that the election will
be ratified at the next session Of the
general assembly. In the territory
involved there are a number OF fine
families, and the section will be quite
an addition to Bamberg county.

INTERESTED IN TOBACCO.
Tobacco Expert Addresses Bamberg
Farmers Last Friday.

Mr.. E. l.. Ring, tobacco expert of
the Southern Railway, in cooperation
with the extension division of Glenn
son college, held meeting at the
court house in Bamberg last Friday.
The meeting was attended by about
fifty farmers of Bamberg county in
terested in tobacco growing.
Mr.. Rings talk was both interest
ing and instructive. He advised the
farmers to form into community
groups and to get an experienced man
to oversee their tobacco crops the
first year, although he said that the
growing of tobacco was not so mys-
terious as some folks seem to think.
Tobacco that is we'll grown, free from
ravages of bud and horn worms, ga
thered of uniformly ripe leaves and
cured by using good common sense
would always sell for good price.
Mr.. Ring stated that there was not
as much to the curing as most peo-
pie in new territory think, but that
a great deal of properly cured tobac-
co was allowed to ruin by not being
carefully handled after the curing
is over.
The demand for bright tobacco is
so great, he said, that it would prob
ably suffer more from lack Of an ade-
quate supply than from increased pro-
duction. There are only certain linn
tied sections of the country where
good bright tobacco can be grown and
this is one of them.
One farmer said that we have red,
black and gray soils here, and want
ed to know which soil is best suited
to tobacco. The reply was that gray
soils are best suited to tobacco.
Mr.. A. NJ. Denbow has tobacco seed
of a good variety to give away to the
farmers who ask for them. Mr.. Ring
stated that the seed are good. There
are no strings attached to to the seed
offer

Hurt BY Fall.

Little Edwin Utsey, the two-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Utsey,
who live about six miles from Bam-
berg in the Midway section of the
county, suffered the misfortune ola
painful and what might have been
very serious accidenet about week
ago. He fell from a flight of steps
on the side of the Delk building on
Main street, in Bamberg, making a
clear fall of about ten feet and hitting
solidly on his head on the concrete
sidewalk. Two physicians were hur-
RED to the scene and for time some
anxiety was held out for the little
fellow, but he has now recovered and
it is not thought the fall will occasion
and serious results.

SHOOTS BROTHER'S SLAYER.
Mixup at Hot Supper Fatal For One
Another in Serious Condition.

Mixup at Hot Supper Fatal For One.
Another in Serious Condition.
On last Friday at negro hot sup
per and general frolic in the High
towers Mill section of the county be-
tween Denmark and Govan a serious
shooting affray occurred. 1t is said
there was plenty of tussick liquor on
hand and this so far is the chief cause
assigned for the more or less general
row. The parties implicated were
all young negroes. Cleveland Faust
vas shot with a revolver in the hands
OF another negro named Nose Muir
ray and Faust died almost instantly.
Murray was then in turn shot by a
brother of the dead Faust, and the
Faust who did this shooting is now
in jail in Bamberg awaiting trial
and the outcome Of Murray's wounds.
Murray is shot in the stomach; the
wounds are dangerous and he is III a
critical condition with little hope OF
recovery.

DIR. Watson HOnOred.

DR.. E. o. Watson, who has been
secretary of war work in Washington
for the Southern Methodist church,
read an interesting report of his
work and announced that he had &C
cepted an appointment to continue
the work he has been doing for the
Methodist church for all the Protes-
tant churches. The several denomi-
nations have merged their work and
DR.. Watson will represent all of them.
This is a distinct compliment to DR..
Watson and the work he has done.
The position was unsought and came
through the nomination of Bishop
Mcdowell, of the Northern Methodist
church. The position carries fine
salary. DR.. Watson will return to
Washington at an early date to as
sumo his duties.-From report of the

BAMBERG OVERsUBSCRIBES.
Local Baptists Raised More Than
Thirty Thousand Dollars.

Bamberg city and Bamberg coun-
ty have responded generously in ev-
cry campaign that has been Waged
for funds for the relief of suffering
and the uplift of humanity. Anoth-
er success was added to the local rec
ord this week, when the Baptists in
the SIS, 100000 campaign oversub-
scribed by several thousand dollars
their apportionment. The Bamberg
church was apportioned S24,S35, and
before sunset Sunday approximately
$4,000 had been reported by the va
rious teams in cash and in five-year
pledges. Monday night the total had
exceeded 100000, with about 100
members whose subscriptions had not
been tabulated.
The local campaign began at SUM-
rise Sunday morning, when a short
PRAYER service for the success of the
canvassers was held at the church,
attended by about 100 persons. AT
the morning service the pastor, the
Rev. Geo. P. White, preached, his
sermon being suitable to the occasion
of the beginning of the campaign.
At two o'clock, the teams, nine in
number, each composed of five per-
sons, assembled at the church for the
beginning of the canvass. The local
director, DR.. Robert Black, with the
pastor remained at the church to re-
ceive the reports of the teams. The
subscriptions were tabulated and
placed upon a blackboard as they
were turned in.
The local campaign has been pro-
nounced success, according to the di-
rector and managers. The allotment
of $4,000 was by far the greatest
sum of money ever attempted to be
raised at one time by church in this
section for general church work, but
the workers went to the task with
zeal. The amount of the oversub-
scription cannot be stated at this time
as the campaign does not close until
next Sunday, but it is estimated that
the amount raised in excess Of the
allotment will doubtless be from s6,-
900 to $4,000

TELEPHONE CABLES SEVERED.
All Phones Out of Business Several
Days.-Lnes Now Repaired.

Many complaints have been ex-
pressed recently concerning the poor
telephone service being rendered by
tn Bamberg office of the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, and on Thanksgiving night
some one sawed the large cables in
two, thus disconnecting all local
telephones as we'll as the long dis
tance lines out of Bamberg. The
work was done just in the rear Of
the store of J. Cooner & Sons, and for
several days there was absolutely no
use of the telephones in Bamberg
whatever. However, repairs have
now been made, and the poor service
which the company has rendered in
the recent past was resumed the first
Of this week.

TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS.
Bamberg Citizens More or Less In
jured in Orangeburg County.

Bamberg Citizens More or Less In
jured in Orangeburg County.
Last Friday night two more or less
serious automobile accidents occurr-
ed in Orangeburg county, and it was
only through providence and good
fortune that the wrecks did not re-
suit fatally to Bamberg citizens. The
accidents both happened about II
o'clock at night and early Saturday
morning when the news first became
general in Bamberg considerable anx-
iety was felt for the occupants of the
cars, as the injured parties are all
prominent young Bamberg men.
DR.. H. J. Stuckey and Mr.. w. D.
Rhoad, Jr., were returning from the
Shriners' convention in Florence,
where they had been for few days.
The trip was made in DR.. Stuckey's
Dodge turing car and he was driv-
ing when about two miles on the
other side of Orangeburg the car
swerved from the road and crashed
into tree on the left of the road.
Both parties were dazed and badly
shaken up and bruised. DR.. Stuckey
was slightly crushed by the steering
wheel and received very severe cut
on his left knee, which required about
seven stitches. Mr. Rhoad received
two painful cuts on the leg and was
badly cut in several places on the
right side of his head and face, the
small vein in his right temple being
severed. He bled profusely. Nobody
else was in the car. A remarkable
thing about the accident was that al
though the car was extremely badly
torn up and the rear seat was thrown
about twenty feet, neither passenger
was thrown out and the lights re-
NAMED burning after it happened.
The injured men were soon picked
up by a gentleman from St. Matthews
going back after the play at the Or
angeburg opera house that night, and
were first taken to hotel in Or
angeburg where medical aid was sum-
moned and they were carried to the
Orangeburg hospital where their in
juries were treated and both reached
Bamberg the next day. They are
both out now to the delight of their
friends.
Messrs. Will Brabham, Clarence R.
Armstrong and H. G. Delk had been
over to Orangeburg to the play. They
were coming home in Ford road
ster and about three miles from Or
angeburg the car struck a sandbed
and turned completely over standing
up on end. Both Mr.. Brabham and
Mr.. Armstrong were practically un-
injured, but Mr.. Delk was pinned be-
meath the front of the car and the
other two gentlemen had to lift it OH
Of him. Gasoline was pouring from
the tank and it is fortunate that he
was not badly burned. Mr.. Delk was
also carried to the Orangeburg hos
pital and rendered medical attention
and after an x-ray picture was made
it was found that his right shoulder
was broken. He returned home Sat-
urday night, however, and is now i'm
proving rapidly.
