Says Some Workers shirk.

This builder said he did not see how
the workers could get along on a
lower wage until the cost of living
goes down. but he complained that
some workers in the building trades
do not give eight hours work for
eight hours pay.
1t is likely that the chief aim of the
committee will be to find out how
much building is being done in other
cities what the builders in other
cities are paying for materials and
what the prospects are for a drop in
the cost of materials.
A proposal that the District Commits
sioners be made associate members of
the Board of Trade was referred to the
committee on law to draft an amend
ment to the bylaws.

Board of Trade to Investigate
Reason for Dearth of Pri-
waite Operations. -

An inquiry to determine why pri-
Vate building operations have not
been resumed on a larger scale in the
District since the ending of the war
will De made by a special committee
OF the Board of Trade.
The directors of the board author
ized the appointment of such a COM
mittee at meeting yesterday after
noon, following a long discussion of
the building question
1t was agreed that there is need for
more homes in Washington, but a
builder present expressed the belief
that the cost of materials and labor
have deferred many operators from
starting new buildings.

OLAR BOYS RETURN.
Morris Brothers Back From Ambu-
lance Duty in Italy.

Information has been received Of
the return to the United States Of the
five hundred and twenty-sixth ambu-
lance section. The section arrived at
Newport News, Va, few days ago,
and will be ordered to Camp Dix, N.
j., where the boys will be mustered
out of service. Included in this Sec
tion are two Bamberg county boys,
Messrs. Athen R. Morris and Corin-
THAN G. Morris, brothers, of Olar,
who volunteered for service at the
beginning of the war.
This ambulance section made for
itself an envious record while in the
service in Italy. Recently the entire
personnel of this section received
italian war crosses for heroic work
in removing casualties from the Ital-
ian front. The company evacuated
1882 patients between September
l and December Is, last fall. This
section was organized by DR.. Marion
H. Wyman, Of Columbia, brother of
Mr.. J. A. Wyman, of Bamberg.

NO ACTION TAKEN.
Another Meeting to Decide Sale of
Bamberg Cotton Mills.

On account of the absence of some
of the stockholders of the Bamberg
Cotton Mills company, no action was
taken last Thursday in regard to the
proposition of the Seaboard Mills, In
corporated, of New York, to purchase
the stock of the local manufactory
By far the largest proportion of the
stockholders present agreed to accept
the offer of the New York concern.
In view of the fact that considera-
BILE portion of the stock was not rep
resented, it was decided to postpone
action on the sale of the mill, and
another meeting of the stockholders
has been called for next Tuesday,
May 6, at II o'clock, at which time
it is hoped an agreement can be Sc
cured upon the matter. 1t is stated
that something like $4,000 is need
ed at this time by the mill in order
to put in new and needed equipment,
and it is necessary to make arrange
ments to secure this amount if it is
decided not to dispose of the con-
Germ.

BATTLE TANK IS COMING.
War Implement Will BE Seen in Bam-
berg on May 8 and 10.

The greatest feature of the victory
loan campaign in Bamberg county
will be the visit to this city on May
9 and 10 of a "whippet" tank. This
tank is one of three brought from
Europe and displayed in this State
during the victory loan campaign.
The tank is expected to arrive in
town from Barnwell on the afternoon
of the ninth and will remain here
overnight, leaving the next morning.
The tank, it is expected, will be
unloaded here and the tank crew,
which is one of those that were in
actual service at the front. will de-
monstrate the use of this awful
weapon of modern warfare. In other
cities visited the tanks have been
driven through the streets, and
doubtless the same programme will
be carried out on the occasion OF
the whippet's visit to this place. The
tank is equipped with French l.
pound gun
The people of the county will not
be afforded the opportunity to see
a tank at any other place in this Sec
tion of the State, and doubtless there
will be large number to visit Bam-
berg for the purpose of viewing the
one thing that first brought fear to
the heart of the oncoming German at
time when he thought Paris would
soon be entered triumphantly by the
hordes of the fatherland.

RAID ON LIQUOR STILLS.
Sheriff and State Constable Round
Up Five Plants.

The county authorities have had
reason for some time to believe that
considerable liquor was being made
around Bamberg. Sheriff Ray has
been desirous of rounding up these
offenders, but, while he received
many reports of stills, definite in
formation was hard to get. The
sheriff, in company with State Con-
stable Smyrl, last Thursday went out
after them, and as a result of the
days work, four stills were captured,
a fifth was located, and five arrests
were made of alleged liquor distill-
ers.
The parties arrested have been put
under bond for appearance at the
next term Of criminal court for trial.
One of these is a white man. Frank
Richardson; the others are negroes,
Hightower, Minigan, Hays and Wash
ington, all of whom, it is charged,
operated stills within few miles of
Bamberg.
About a gallon of homemade Ii
quor was captured during the raid,
and something like 100 gallons of
beer or mash" was destroyed. The
location of one of the stills was
found, and evidence that it had been
in recent operation was apparent, but
the still was missing. However, a
good case was made out against the
party believed to be it's owner.
This makes six alleged blind tiger
still operators rounded up during the
last two or three weeks, the sheriff
having captured still from a negro
woman some two weeks ago.
The sheriff complains that one
thing that makes enforcement of the
law in this respect difficult is the fact
that the guilty parties are permitted
to plead guilty in court and in this
way receive very light sentences,
mostly in fines. The average blind
tiger distiller does not object very
seriously to the paying of fine, as
he can soon make this money back
out of his illegal industry. and the
sheriff believes that if the courts
would impose heavier sentences and
discontinue letting offenders off with
fines, it would go long way toward
stopping the operation of stills in the
county.

FRANK MCMILLAN WINNER.
Former Bamberg Boy Wins Two Ora.
tOrical Medals at Greenyille.

The Bamberg friends of Frank Nc
MILAN, son of Rev. W. R. Mcmillan,
former pastor of the Bamberg Bap-
tist church, will learn with interest
that at the recent contest of the
Piedmont Oratorical and Athletic as
sociation he won the oratorical prize
for the Westminster school, and was
also awarded the Endal individual
medal for first place. Mr.. McMillan's
subject was ''The Flag on the Firing
Line. The following is taken from
report of the oratorical contest ap-
pearlng in one of the Greenville pa
pers, the event having been held at
the Greenville Woman's college last
week:
The Westminster high school for
the flrst time in the II years it has
been a contestant in the Piedmont
Oratorical and Athletic association,
won first honors last night at the
Greenville Woman's college with
speakers representing 10 other

DIR, WYMAN INJURED.
Automobile Struck by Train at Den
mark.

Denmark, April 2S.-Dr. Joseph
w. Wyman met with a painful acct
dent while attempting to cross the
Atlantic Coast Line tracks this morn
ing in his automobile. Two freight
trains were passing each other, one
on the main line going east and the
other on the side track westward
bound. When the rear end of the
east bound freight passed the road
crossing, DR.. Wyman attempted to
make the crossing, not knowing that
a train was moving westward, his
view being completely obstructed by
the east bound train. The automobile
was caught by the engine and pushed
a considerable distance down the
track. DR.. Wyman leaped out of his
car toward the locomotive and caught
a landing on the cow-catcher. In the
mix up he was very seriously cut
about the head and otherwise hurt
about the body. He was taken to a
hospital at Columbia on the after
noon train, for X-ray examination,
after which the doctors will be able
to determine the seriousness of his
wounds.

"THE PRICE OF PEACE"
Hundreds of Persons Saw Picture
Portrayal of Warfare.

"The Price of Peace" the official
picture of the United States govern
ment, was shown in Bamberg to hum
dreds of persons last Wednesday aft
ernoon and night. The picture was
accompanied by Lieut.. NJ. L. Glenn,
who recently returned after service
at the front Lieutenant Glenn is no
stranger here, and he was warmly
greeted by his many friends in Bam-
berg. The picture is a portrayal OF
the part taken by the United States
in the war. In a most graphic man
ner the activities of our men IN
France and Belgium were shown.
Many actual battle scenes were
shown, and some of the horrors OF
war were impressed on the audience,
the purpose of which was to show
the necessity of paying the bill by
buying victory bonds.
Before the picture was shown,
the Rev. Mr.. Lyons, United
States army chaplin, made one of
the most impressive addresses ever
heard in the city 6n connection with
the war loans. Having seen years
of service at the front, right in the
midst of the fighting, the chaplain
was in position to give many first
hand incidents. One of the most in
teresting things he related was con-
cerning the reduction of human
bodies by the Germans for the pur-
pose of extracting greases for can
non and other purposes. The stories
of these reduction plants have been
read by most persons with a certain
degree of doubt. The captain as
surred the audience that there was
no doubt of the truth of the state
ments for he had seen with his own
eyes the remains of such a morbid in
dustry.
He also displayed small flag, os-
tensibly an American flag, which he
secured in a Belgian city. Before the
entry of the American army into the
Belgian city, the natives knowing
that the American forces would soon
reach their city, wished to decorate
for the occasion, and all the white
and blue cloth in the town was gath
cred for fag-making purposes None
of the people knew just how many
stars were in the American flag, so
they guessed at 20. There was not
enough of the colored cloth to be
had to complete the flag, so there
were II and a half bars made into
it. This emblem, he said, he prizes
most highly, as it shows the splendid
spirit of the peoples released from
virtual slavery by the American
forces.

FORD TURNS OVER.
Young Man Received Painful Injury
Sunday Afternoon.

AS the result of the overturning Of
a Ford runab bout car Sunday after
noon, young Mr.. Stevenson, of the
Cope neighborhood, received painful
injuries. There were five in the run
about at the time, and it is said that
the car was running at only a mod
crate speed on the Ehrhardt road.
When about two or three miles of
Bamberg, the car struck sand in the
road, the front wheels suddenly
swerved, and the car turned over on
it's side. The five occupants of the
machine were thrown out, and young
Stevenson was caught beneath the
car. An ugly cash was cut in his
leg, which necessitated the taking of
several stitches to sew up. After
receiving medical attention, the
young man was carried to his home.
While the injury was very painful, it
is not serious. Another occupant OF
the car was slightly hurt.
The Ehrhardt road is now being
repaired by the chaingang, and as a
result of the dry weather the fresh
soil thrown on the road has not be-
come hard. Careful driving is re-
quired to prevent accidents.

GREAT INTEREST IN REVIVAL.
Many Additions Being Received Into
the Baptist Church.

What is described by. those who
are taking part in the Baptist re-
vival as one of the most stirring
church meetings ever held in Bam-
berg is now being conducted here.
The meetings began more than a
week ago, and as a result of the
earnest preaching Of the Rev. Mr..
Davis and the cooperation of the
pastor and members Of the church,
many additions have been received
into the church.
Up to Tuesday evening there had
been 62 to unite with the church by
the usual methods of church connec-
ton. The greatest number of these,
however. were received for member
ship by baptism.
AS an indication of the unusual
interest that is being taken in the
services, the stores are closed each
afternoon from 4 to ) to allow the
clerks and others to attend services.
A most gratifying result of the meet
ing has been the addition to the
church of large number of business
men who have not heretofore had
any church connection.
Tuesday evening large number of
the members of the Baraca class OF
the First Baptist church of Orange
burg attended the revival in a body,
and were very much impressed with
the earnestness of the meeting.

COTTON ACREAGE REDUCTION.
Strengthening Of Price No Reason to
Hold Up on Reduction.

Because the price of cotton has
streneilened a little is no reason We
should not carry out fully the plans
Of the cotton acreage reduction
movement We can get just as much
money for a small crop as for a large
one and not have to pay it all back
for hay and other feed and food
stuffs, provided We use the acreage
cut off for such. To give you an idea
of the opposition to this acreage re-
duction movement, I quote the fol-
lowing from our State chairman:
"You will doubtless be surprised
to learn that we are being bitterly
fought by a thoroughly organized
and we'll financed movement. This,
to our mind, is proof of the fact that
those who have long lived on the
life-blood and toll of the South are
desperate in their efforts. and they
realize that our success means their
total defeat.
eve have in our possession quite
a number of letters being sent out
by those who are fighting the move
ment. These letters would be a
great surprise to the general public.
We are quietly trying to ascertain
the moving spirit behind this propo-
sition."
Every one by all means do your
bit to carry out in every respect the
intention of this movement, and my
humble opinion is you will within
the next year find it the greatest
movement in a business way we have
ever entered into.

FARM WORK UNDER WAY.
Fine Weather Enables Farmers to
Make Good Progress.

General farm work, over this en-
tire section, is we'll under way and is
being pushed very rapidly. The very
favorable weather of the past few
weeks has enabled the planters to
make good progress in getting the
crops planted, and cultivation is now
going on very satisfactorily. Cotton
acreage has been materially reduced
this season, and there will be a con-
siderably larger acreage in corn.
There is also an increase in the
acreage planted in oats and wheat.
The small grain crops indicate that
there will be good harvest of oats
and wheat this season. The oat crop
is now heading out, and rains are
very much needed. If the usual
spring rains come, there will be with
out doubt a good crop of oats this
year.
