TOBACCO CURING STARTED.
Cutting of the Weed is Now Progress
inS Satisfactorily.

Several Of the planters of tobacco
around Bamberg started this week
harvesting and curing their product.
Many barns in the vicinity are now
fired up and preparing the tobacco
for the market. The crop is some
what late in this section, generally
speaking, and curing on large scale
has not yet been started.
The early curings will be ready in
the next few days for the market.
However, there will hardly be suffic-
lent tobacco ready for sale before the
18th of July to open the market here.
Tobacco buyers will begin to arrive
in Bamberg about the first to tenth
of July, and from then on the two
tobacco warehouses in Bamberg will
be centers of much activity.
Bamberg folks who have never wit
messed a tobacco sale have something
yet to live for. We do not know what
preparations, if any, will be made for
the opening Of the market in Bam-
berg, but there should be big crowd
of folks out on the opening day, for
it will mark new day in the history
of Bamberg. Aside from small to-
bacco market in Summerville, Bam-
berg will have the only market in
southern Carolina. This is distinc-
ton which will be worth much to
Bamberg both in precedence in the
tobacco raising business and from an
advertising point of view.

Leans Defeat the Fats.

Monday afternoon remarkable
game of base bail was played at
Rhoad park for the benefit of the
Bamberg fire department. The "fats''
of the town were arrayed in battle
royal against the ''leans,' but the
overplus of avoidupois scored against
the big men, and they went down in
defeat, though they put up a stub
born resistance. The score was the
biggest thing about the game, 22 to
21. One of the players was asked
how many innings were played and
he replied "about go" The scorer
was quite swamped and had hard
job to keep accurate tab on the game
but the score is approximately right
if not quite So A neat sum was
realized for the fire department, and
the "teams'' are now busy morning
noon and night with the mustang try
ing to soothe the overWorked but
rather flaccid muscles.

Allendale and Williston Quit.

Solomon Blatt, of Barnwell, presi-
dent of the Tri-County league, an
nounced Tuesday that Williston and
Allendale had withdrawn their clubs
from the league. This action had
been expected for some days and oc-
casioned no surprise here. 1t is un-
derstood that one reason for the de-
cision not to complete the schedule
Of games was that both of the above
named towns wished to use more hir-
ed players than we're allowed them
by the rules of the league, and thus
give their fans a faster brand Of base
ball.
However, this does not mean that
the league will disband, as new
schedule has already been arranged
for the remainder of the season be-

BAMBERG AND ALLENDALE TIE
Games Goes to Credit of Locals in
League Standing.

In a fast and snappy game of bal
at Rhoad Park last Friday afternoon
the|ocals tied a team from Allendale
by a score of 2 to 2. Only nine in.
nings were played, as it was agreed
to call the game at o'clock before
it commenced. Although the game
ended in a tie, it will go to the credit
of the locals in the league standing
as Allendale played more than its
allotted number of hired men, &C
cording to the rules of the league.
The Allendale team was jundoubt-
edly one of the strongest teams, in
dividually at least, that has been in
Bamberg in years, being composed OF
eight hired men, only one man on the
team being from Allendale, but al
that they did not appear to have any
thing on the local bunch, either ir
the field or at bat.
Schultz, an eX-Sally league prayer
started on the mound for Allendale
but lasted only about three innings
being relieved by Daniel, south-paW
Of Savannah, who with good luck an6
fast fielding held the locals to tie.
McGee Bamberg, who has been a.
school, made his first appearance Of
the season in a Bamberg uniform
and played a mighty nice game al
first, also securing a hit.
Smith pitched we'll for the local!
and Large made an EXCEPTIONAL!
good catch in left field.
Batteries: Smith and Cooner, fol

Bamberg Z, Blackville e.

Bamberg and Blackville played
ball here Tuesday, Bamberg winning
7 to 6. The game was an exhibition
of good. bad and Indifferent base
ball. Gilman started the game pitch
ing for the home team, but his arm
was not right and he was relieved IN
the third inning after six runs had
been made The runs were not all
made on account of the pitcher, how
ever. as he received very poor sup
port. Smith pitched from the third
inning on and was only touched Tor
one hit. The fielding of Smith was
an outstanding feature of the game.
Charlie Rentz, who was playing what
would likely be his last game OF this
league season, as he leaves Thursday
for Atlantic City, was the star of the
game. Charlie, as usual, was the fel-
low to drive in the winning run. In
the ninth Bamberg went to bat one
run behind. Cooner led off with a
single, but was forced at second by
Smith. Then Lackey walked both f..
Bamberg and Turnipseed. Large
brought in Smith with single and
then it was that Charlie Rentz got
the hit, (his third of the game), that
won the game, he bringing in F. Bam-
berg with timely single. Summer
land, for Blackville, got two hits, one
a three Dagger and the other a two
base hit. Browning. for Blackville,
played well. Score:

Frank, the nine-year-old son of
Clerk Of Court A. L. kirkland and
Mrs. kirkland, was seriously injured
on Tuesday of last week when pony
the little boy was riding fell. Frank
sustained internal injuries. He was
rushed to a hospital in Savannah for
treatment, and for a time very little
hope was held out for~his recovery.
A postal card from Mr.. kirkland
Monday stated that his condition was
slightly improved. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kirkland are at the bedside of their
little son.
His father had just bought Frank
a little pony and the little fellow was
having great sport riding him. Tues
day Frank attempted to open a gate
without alighting from the pony, and
in doing so pulled rather harder than
he expected on the bridal. The pony
reared up, lost it's balance and fell
backward on the lad. The weight OF
the animal fell upon the boys som
ach, causing very serious Internal in
Jury, including the perforation o1
some Of the intestines.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
Kirkland and of the little fellow sin
cerely trust that he will recover from
the injury and soon be among his IT.

tricotine coat suit with accessories to
match and carried shower bouquet

yer, cut glass, china and other useful
and ornamental articles, among them
being a chest of very beautiful silver
ware, the gift of the brides parents,
and substantial bridal check from
her uncle, A. J. Knight.
