TRADE AT HOME

No little has been published from

order houses of the cities that cater
entirely to customers who shop by
mail. The advantage Of personally

Mough of slightly inferior ,11aiity,

At the present time it would be
wise to make fair comparison be-

and price both carefully considered,
ycu will find that in the vast major
.Ity of cases, your local merchant can
do better by you than the large
city houses.
There is very good reason for this
change. During the past two years
The cost of raw materials have in
creased by leaps and bounds and
labor in the city has advanced with
them. In the smaller towns and
cities there has been no great adj
vance in wages, rent or other items
and the merchants are now able not
only to compete with those in the
city, but in many instances u1dersel
them.
Even though the price of goods in

to supply the home with poultry and

saved by serving poultry it pays to

SWAT THE MOSQUITO.
Board of Health POurs Oil on the
Mosquito Waters of City.

Mr.. w. D. Rhoad, chairman of the
city board of health, says that If
there are mosquitoes in Bamberg now
they are not breeding in the bitches
and standing water in town, for the
board has only recently poured 200
gallons of oil in these places to pre-
vent the Matching Of mosquitoes. Mr..
Rhoad also takes occasion to ask the
people of the town to cooperate with
the city authorities in the annihila-
tion of these disease-spreaders by
seeing that every old can and re-
ceptacle of any sort is overturned and
not allowed to retain water. He
states if the householders will see
to this carefully. and also see that
their premises are made mOsquito-
proof. this form of pest will not be
prevalent in Bamberg this year
It is urged that a solution Of oil
and creolin be sprayed over the prem
ises, especially in those places where
the anopholes delights to propagate
Fowl houses are ideal, when insani-
tary, for the breeding of the mosquito
and should be treated to a thorough
spray. Stables likewise should be at
tended to. Only very small amount
of disinfectant is required for this
purpose, and parties may secure this
free of charge from the city authori'
ties by applying to the town marshal
These suggestions are important
The prevention Of the breeding ot
mosquitoes means the prevention o1
many of the diseases of mankind, ane
it is nothing but just good, ordinary
horse sense to use every possible pre-
caution against the pest.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.
Confederate Dead Honored-HOn. j.
F. Byrnes Speaker.

Annual memorial exercises were
held last Saturday under the auspices
of the U. D. C. chapter Of Bamberg.
Quite few of the old veterans were
present. Hon. J. F. Byrnes, congress-
man from this district, was the orator
of the day, and he made one of his
typical entertaining and instructive
addresses.
Several musical selections were
rendered by the school choir, and in
addition there were other musical
numbers, all of which were greatly
enjoyed.
After the memorial exerciss. din
ner was served on the ground 70 the
audience, the dinner being given free
to all Confederate veterans. The
graves of the old soldiers were deco
rated with flowers, as was also the
Confederate monument on the court
house grounds.

OPPOSE SUNDAY OPENING.
Churches Petition Council Not to Per
init Sunday Selling.

Petitions have been presented to
the new city council by the Baptist
and Methodist churches and the
Methodist Business Mems Bible class
asking that council will not permit
the opening of places of business for
the sale of soft drinks, cigars, etc.,
on Sunday. Resolutions were unani-
mously passed last Sunday by the
congregations of the two churches
and the Sunday school class, in which
it was stated that it was commonly
reported that efforts were being
made to allow certain business places
to dispense drinks and smokes on the
Sabbath. Such action is strongly OPP
! posed by the resolutions which call
on the city fathers to preserve the
sanctity of the Sabbath day.
Sunday closing Of all selling estab-
lishments was instituted in Bamberg
several years ago, and the petitions
declare that it would be a step back
ward to again permit the opening OF
these places on Sunday; that they
create temptations, and that such
sales are wholly unnecessary.
It was explained on presenting the
resolutions that the city council had
not made any decision to allow the
opening of soft drink and tobacco
stores, but that the resolutions were
being passed to indicate to the new
council the attitude of the churches
on the matter and to assure the coun
Gil of the cooperation of the congre
cations in the preservation of the
strict observance of the Sabbath day
While not generally known, cit!
council had previously refused to al
low places of business to be opened
on Sunday.

BEGIN ROAD WORK SOON.
Contractors Preparing to Build High
way Through County.

It is expected that the J. r. Beaz-
ley company, of Norfolk, Va, will
begin work within the next few days
on the construction Of the Bamberg
county link of the Columbia-Savan-
nah highway The contract for this
road construction was let by the
county commissioners. with the ap-
proval of the State highway depart
ment. some weeks ago to the Vir-
ginia contracting firm. The specifi-
cations provide for the work to be
started as soon as possible. The ad-
vance agent of the concern stated at
the time the contract was awarded
that work would begin about the first
of May, but some delay has been oc-
casioned. 1t is likely that the road
building material will be sent to
Bamberg this week.
The road will be completed, it is
expected, before the first of the year.
The road extends across the county
from New bridge to Buford's Bridge
1t is hoped that some arrangement
can be made whereby the city Of
Bamberg will be enabled to construct
the road through the city limits, in
asmuch as the contract does not pro-
vide for any road construction in the
city of Bamberg.

TANK EXHIBITED HERE.
One of the Kind That Made the Amer
lean Boys Famous.

Keen interest was taken mere sat
urday in the exhibition Of whippet
tank. The "Charleston Tank No. 3
arrived here from Barnwell Friday
night. and remained here throughout
the day on the sidetrack opposite the
passenger station. Hundreds Of per
8 ms from all over the county availed
themselves of the rare opportunity
of inspecting this newest Of war i'm
plements.
The tank shown here was one OF
the medium sized ones intended for
use in going to Berlin. AS it is now
generally known, the American army
was prepared to make the big push
in the spring of 1919-just about
now. In preparation for the greatest
drive ever contemplated in the his
tory Of the world the American gov
eminent had made and had in the
process of making sufficient tanks to
place one at an interval of every 75
feet of front.
Three sizes Of tanks we're intended
for use in this great campaign-the
baby tank, operated by one man; the
whippet tank, similar to the one
shown here, and the big giant fell
low.
The whippet tank is operated by
two men--a driver and a gunner. 1t
measures about Is feet over all, with
a driving mechanism about 10 feet
in length. The tank Is so equipped
that it presents angles almost all
around. In this way bullets are de-
fiected. When closed and locked from
the inside it is impossible to open it
from without. Thus, if surrounded
and mounted by Germans they would
be powerless to harm the tank crew
because it cannot be opened.
The tank is equipped with 40
horsepower engine and is armed with
a 1-pound gun, which is mounted in
the revolving turret. Before being
put into use all tanks are thoroughly
tested, and the whippet seen here
bore the marks of this test. There
we're numbers Of bullet dents on the
metal sides of the machine, while
one steel high-powered rifle bullet
had penetrated the turret.
Owing to an accident to the tank
at Orangeburg it was not possible to
unload the machine and demonstrate
it here. For some reason the engine
had gone dead and the tank could
not be run at all. The tank was load
ed on a fiat car, and all those who
cared to do so had the privilege of
mounting the car and inspecting it to
their hearts content. The tank crew
courteously answered all questions
asked of them. The tank was due
here Friday, but was delayed in get
ting to Barnwell and was day late
in getting here. Bamberg was the
last point visited by the tank and
crew.
