CLEANUP WEEK.
Everybody Asked to Help Make the
Town Better Place to Live.

Mayor J. ]. Smoak has proclaimed
May II to 21 cleanup week in Bam-
berg. On these dates every resident
of Bamberg is asked to contribute his
or her efforts toward making Bam-
berg a cleaner, brighter, healthier and
better place to live. The board of
health will assist the people in every
way possible, as will also the city Off
cials. The malaria control authori-
ties will likewise cooperate. By get
ting all the agencies of the city to
work it is hoped to make the week
a great success.
The idea is to get busy during
cleanup week and clean and bright
en- things in general. There is per-
haps an accumulation of rubbish
about the house or yard or garden
or vacant adjoining lot that has not
been attended to for some time. Now's
the time to get it. The campaign is
to cover every phase of sanitation,
and therefore naturally includes the
house. If there are broken screens,
have them properly attended to. If
there's mites or "craWling things
on the premises take positive steps
to vacate them.
Especial attention is called just
now to empty cans and water contain
ers of every description about the
place. Be sure to see that not a
receptacle is left on your property
which can hold water. The malaria
control work is now progressing sat
isfactorily, but there may be many
small places of mosquito Infection
about town that only careful per-
sonal work can dispose of. Mosqui-
toes have already started to breed
Let everybody make small effort
and cleanup week can be great
event in Bamberg. The city authori-
ties will see that all trash and garb-
age neatly piled on the edge of the
streets is removed.

POSTOFFICE ADVANCES.
Bamberg Office Goes to Second Class
OH July 1st.

Official notice has been received
that the Bamberg postoftice will be
advanced to second class. The new
new rating becomes effective on July
1st, next. The advance in the class
of the postofice would have been
made before, but no Offices have been
promoted on account of the war.
The business of the Bamberg post
office has grown steadily during the
past few years, this growth being one
of the best evidences of the growth
of Bamberg, if not numerically, GER
tainly in a business sense.
With the advance of the office from
third to second class, more help will
be provided for the postoffice.

MILL CHANGES HANDS.
j. A. Wyman Buys G. NJ. Dickinson's
Holdings i'm Denmark Plant.

The Denmark Oil and Fertilizer
company recently changed hands, G..
Moye Dickinson disposing of his stock
in the mill to J. A. Wyman. Mr.. Dick
inson has owned and operated the
Denmark plant for the past several
years, and under his control the mill
has become one of the leading manu-
featuring plants in this section. The
purchase Of the Denmark plant by Mr..
Wyman will not in any way change
the status of tha mill as Denmark
ENTERPRISE, and il will be operated
as a business separate and distinct
from the Cotton Oh company of Bam-
berg, which is also owned by Mr..
Wyman.
Mr.. Wyman states that the mill
will in the near future be enlarged
and improved. The plant is already
equipped in a small way for the hand
ling of the peanut business, and If the
acreage in peanuts warrants it ex-
tensive enlargements to take care OF
this business will be installed.
It is also contemplated that pea
nut shelling plant will be Installed II
conditions demand it, as we'll as the
installation of a more extensive fertl-
lizer works. The ginnery is to be i'm
proved. and will be under the manage
nlent of competent assistants. J. K.
Mcclellan, now manager of the plant,
will continue in this capacity. Mr..
Wyman also wishes the announce
ment made that the Denmark Oil and
Fertilizer company will be in the
market this season for the purchas-
ing of peanuts.

THE CHAUTAUQUA.
Ten Attractions Given During Past
Week.-Varied Programme.

The Redpath chautauQua was held
in Bamberg during the past week.
Ten attractions in all were given,
two entertainments being given daily
at 400 and S:15 p. m. for five days.
A varied programme was offered and
there was something in the enter
tainments to please all those who seek
entertainment. While some of the
numbers appeared a bit "heavy"-
were 'heavy' in fact-there was also
light entertainment. The children
were not omitted in the programme,
and several numbers were especially
pleasing to the small tots, especially
the last entertainment, when Reno,
the magician, passed the magic wand
promiscuously over various things
and objects and brought forth shouts
of delight from the little folks, and
the big ones too.
The musical programme was, for
the most part, rather too classical
for the ordinary mortal. In order to
appreciate it one would have to be
more of a student of art than most
folks elect to be. But, then, the band
concert of Kryl was about all one
could desire in band music, and the
programme was varied enough to
please almost any audience.
The lectures which are always
difficult for an average audience, were
high class and very instructive in
deed for those who seek information
in lectures. The lecture by Bennett
was, in addition to being instructive,
highly entertaining and was spicy
enough. The others were more or
less what the average person would
term high brow" stuff.
The comedy, 1T Pays to Adver-
tise," was hilariously joyful, and un-
usually pleasing. Those who have
seen the play in the best theatres
say that the play was quite up to the
standard. The advertiser ins the
newspapers and otherwise after see
ing this play can see his money go
out with pleasant look.
The children's pageant Monday Of
ternoon was really good, and for the
short practice that was given it de-
serves high praise.
The last nights entertainment was
in class by itself, so far os pleasing
the audience is concerned. 1t was de-
cidedly the most popular number on
the programme. The entire pro-
gramme as given appears to have
pleased the people of Bamberg.
Splendid patronage was given the
chautauqua, and it is understood that
not only were the expenses met but
that the Music club, under whose
auspices the attractions were brought
here, cleared some money. The lad,
les of the club worked faithfully for
the success of the entertainment, and
deserved any profits they made.

Expensive Luxury.

The social worker was doing his
best to condole with the inmates OF
the county jail.

for?"
"Six months and six days. replied
the Door man cheerfully.
"Why, that's a peculiar sentence.
And what are the six days for?"
"Oh, dunno" responded the con-

guess. Everything comes high these

BAMBERG WINS AND LOSES.
Lost to Willistun Friday, Wins From

this time by score of s to O. Nc
Leod. of Carlisle, has now pitched IL
innings for the Bamberg league club
and las not been scored upon. He
deserves credit and the cOngratula-
tions of all Bamberg supporters. In
his two games seven hits have been
scored against him. Tuesday he did
not walk or hit man and received
in turn errorless support. The whole
Bamberg team played jam up ball,
fast and snappy, and secured L hits;
their heart and soul is in their play
ing. Price, our husky youngster,
showed up we'll at first, and hit to
advantage; Charlie RentZ, the veter-
an short stop, played sensational
game, and bagged triple and a sim
gle. The entire out field played it's
usual wonderful game, the best am
ateur out field in the world, while the
hitting of Pete Watson was feature;
he only got two doubles and a
single in four trips to the plate; he
hits them when they are needed too.
Brabham's batting and base running
was excellent, and he has never
dropped one in the field in his life;
Sanders at second played nice game.
For Denmark, Steadman at third base
played the best ball. We're off for the
pennant.
Score by innings:

Batteries: Mcleod and ~Cooner;

The second game played by the To-
Gals of the Tri-County league last
Friday resulted in loss for the Bam-
berg club by the close score of to
4. While the Williston team deserv-
ed to win and really outplayed our
boys slightly, still the game was in
tensely interesting and hard fought
all the way. Going into the ninth
inning four runs behind the Bam-
berg team demonstrated it's gameness
and staged a nerve racking rally in
which three runs were scored and the
Williston hopes nearly scared to
death. This rally was the feature of
the game. Both kits, for Wllllston'
and Warren, for Bamberg, held their
onnonents to seven hits each and each
pitcher received poor support.
