Cuts First Watermelon.

Mr.. F. G. Brabham has the dis
tinction of eating the first watermel-
on in Bamberg this season. Sunday
he cut 4S-pound melon, and he says
it was fine. Mr.. Brabham did not
have the honor, however, of picking
the melon from his patch. 1t was a
gift from Mr.. J. Ham Kirkland, OF
Olar, who is growing melons for mar
ket near Lakeland, Fla.
Mr.. Kirkland wrote Mr.. Brabham
that he was loading a carload of mel
ons the day he sent the fine specimen
to Bamberg. The car, he said, would
contain 500 melons about the size as
the gift to Mr.. Brabham, the balance
slightly smaller. This would mean a
car of very fine melons. AS present
prices are from $500 to $500 per
car, it is likely that Mr.. Kirkland will
realize a very neat profit from his
early shipments.

Four Young Ladies Receive Certifi-
., Gates of Graduation.

The 191S-1919 session of the
Bamberg graded school came to a
close last Thursday evening, with the
commencement exercises in theschool
auditorium. Four young ladies re-
ceived certificates of graduation. The
exercises were attended , as usual, by
a large audience of friends and pa
irons of the school.
The exercises were opened with
class songs by the freshman. sopho-
more and junior classes, and prayer
was offered by the Rev. R. H. Jones.
The salutatory address followed, de-
livered by Miss Aegina Knight. The
welcome song was sung by the senior
class, which was followed by the his
tory and prophecy of the graduating
class by Miss Elizabeth 1nabinet.
Miss Knight then rendered an instru-
mental solo and the class will was
read by Miss Lucille Folk. An instru-
mental solo by Miss Folk was fol-
lowed by the awarding of diplomas
by the superintendent, Prof. E. P.
Allen.
Professor Allen awarded certifi-
Gates to Misses Aegina Knight, Lu-
cille Folk, Mamie Faust and Eliza
beth Inabinet. In presenting the di-
plomas, Professor Allen took occa-
sion to compliment the class on the
excellent record the class made dur
ing the four years in the high school.
Miss Mamie Faust, who won first
place, made an average of $3.50 per
cent during the session, and Miss
Aegina knight, who was second,
made an average of 1854 per cent.
The class made an average of over
80 per cent. during the entire four
years.
The prizes were presented by the
Rev. Geo. P. White. The prize for
the highest average in the first grade
was won by Martha Sandifer. The Sec
ond grade prize was won by Theresa
Blume; fifth grade, by Irma Utsey;
sixth grade, by Hortense Sandifer'
The sixth grade attendance prize was
won by George Dickinson, who made
a perfect score, not having missed a
day during the session.
The valedictory address was de-
livered by Miss Mamie Faust, after
which the farewell song by the SEN
ior class concluded the commence
ment exercises.

WORK NOT STARTED YET.
Contractor to Build Highway Nearly
Month Behind Schedule.

Although the J. R. Beazley COM
pany, of Norfolk, Va, was scheduled
to begin work on the Columbia-Sa-
vannah highway through Bamberg
county on May Is, work has not yet
been started on the road. The reason
for the delay has not been made pub
lie, but it is presumed that delay in
completing road construction else
where has caused delay in starting
the work in this county. The contract
specifies that work is to be completed
in 200 days after May Is, but as this
is one of the largest road construc-
tion firms in the South, it is very
likely that the work will be pushed
very rapidly when started, and the
road will doubtless be completed in
contract time.
Mr.. H. B. Humbert, engineer for
the State highway commission, has
been in the city for several weeks.
He will remain here to supervise the
road construction, on the part of the
commission, until the work is COM
pleted. He has been making a sur
vey of the road for some days past.

$4,000 SUBSCRIBED.
Council Secures Pledges to Pave Main
Street at Once.

entered with solemn determination
upon a programme Of civic improve
ment, and as a starter the council,
encourag ged by the favorable attitude
of the citizens of the town, decided
that the business section of Main
street must and will be paved, and
paved at once. Now, those who have
watched the progress of paving pro-
grammes in other cities and towns
know something of the legal OBJ
stacles to be overcome in order to
accomplish this much desired end.
There is usually the matter of elec-
tions to be held, bond issues to be
voted and f1oated, and all sorts and
kinds of opposition to be encounter
ed.
Fortunately there is no outright
opposition in Bamberg to paving
Main street. Everybody wants the
street paved, though there are some
different views as to how it should be
DONE
Having settled upon the fact that
the paving is going to be accom-
plished the new council immediately
went about obtaining the necessary
wherewithal to do it. At the same
time of the election for mayor and
aldermen an election was held, put
ting in force the bill recently enacted
by the legislature to allow towns to
assess abutting property for por-
tion Of the cost of permanent street
improvement. This obstacle was,
therefore, overcome at once.
The next matter was that OF rails
ing the city's portion of the cost OF
paving. The exact cost of the paw
ing is not yet known, but it is rough
" estimated to be around SIS, 5,00O;
thus the portion to be raised by the
council would be $500. To hold an
election and vote on bond issue,
then float the bonds would require
weeks, months, perhaps. The coun-
Gil then evolved the idea of raising
the money without bond issue. Con-
sequently petitions were prepared
and circulated among the citizens.
Up to yesterday something over
$1,000 had been subscribed by the
citizens. A large part of this money
was contributed by Main street prop
erty holders, who will also have to
pay for one-fourth the cost of paving
in front of their property. But they
realize that if the town can escape
bond issue, they will perhaps save
more in taxes than the amount OF
their subscriptions.
The result of the canvass so far
has been so successful that the pro-
moters of the idea confidently hope
to secure the entire amount, in which
case IL Will uOI U0 uCSSoooAS Iva 'ANN
city. to borrow a dollar for the pro-
posed improvement. 1t is hoped to
secure the amount necessary and to
start the work of paving the street
this summer.
It is very likely that there are
some who have not yet been seen by
those presenting the petitions. II so,
they are invited and urged to add
their names to the list and swell the
amount. If everybody will pull to-
gether the street will be paved and
the town will not have to borrow the
money to do it. Following are those
who had contributed up to yesterday.
Additional subscriptions will be pub
lished next week:
