SUPPORT THE WAREHOUSES;.

To be the success it should be, the
Bamberg tobacco market must have
the cordial support of all the farm
ers. We have in Bamberg two OF
the leading warehousemen in the
country, men who have been in the
business all of, their business lives.
They know tobacco from A to
2; they have interests at other places,
but they have come to Bamberg and
are staying here during the selling
season in the interest of establishing
the best market in the state in Bam-
berg. They deserve the support of
the people in their efforts. While,
of course, in, promoting the interests
of the local market, they are likewise
promoting their personal interests,
surely any man is worthy of his hire.
Bam5erg has more to gain Shan eth
er of these gentlemen.
The purpose of this editorial is to
suggest, and to strongly urge, that
every ounce of support possible be
given both of the local warehouses
1t is absolutely necessary, in order
to have market, that at least two
warehouses must be in competitive
business, and it is to the interest Of
the market that both warehouses are
successful. We mention this lest
some of our big tobacco planters un-
consciously do an injustice to one or
the other of the warehouses. Give
your support to the market by giving
your support to both warehouses.
1T takes warehouses to make the
market; therefore it is necessary tu
sustain them.
ss Bamberg is fortunate in having
warehousemen who are congenial
gentlemen, They are pulling together
for the, Bamberg market. In return
let our people pull for both of them.
Give them all the patronage you can.
The Bamberg market is very young;
it requires nurturing. This is said
without word of intimation from
either of these gentlemen, and we
say it simply in the interest of Bams
berg's newest industry.

A straightforward Reply.

The clerk Of a court in the west
which examines many applicants fo1
American citizenship, tells of one
alien who had not much difficulty in
filing out the question blank given
to him. The first three lines thereof
bore these questions: "Name?'
"Born?" "Business?''
The alien answered in these terms:
'Name-Max Guttman.'
"Born-Yes."
Business-Awful."

A NEW HOTEL FOR BANiBERG.

The coming of the tobacco market
to Bamberg has opened up new ave-
nues of necessities in this city. one
of these necessities is additional
hotel facilities. This matter has al
ready become so apparent that there
is definite talk of the erection OF
100000 hotel here. Arrangements
must positively be made at once TO
care for the stranger within our
gates. There is plenty of money IN
Bamberg, and for the good OF the
city, there is no better way OF In
vesting some of it than by putting it
into a hotel that will advertise Bam-
berg far and near. People cannot be
expected to some here if they cannot
get a place to stay. We have known in
the past of people leaving town at
night because it was absolutely i'm
possible to get a room to sleep in.
This is bad; very bad.
We know of some towns in the
state that make it a point of offering
plenty Of the best hotel facilities, and
this in a large measure covers many
of the towns deficiencies. There is
no doubt about it, the best ADVERTISE
ment, town can make is to furnish
ample modern hotel facilities to it's
visitors.
Bamberg must have a hotel large
enough to take care of the people
who come TO town

BAD ROADWAY
RESPONSIBLE
FOR COLLISION

That the bad condition of the road
near Ash Creek was responsible for
the collision between an automobile
driven by Frank B1acker, SIS Beacon
street, Waterbury, and a motorcycle
driven by William Fuchslowcher, 1856
Second avenue, New York City, was
the general opinion of the witnesses
at the hearing this morning, conduct
ed by Coroner John J. Phelan. The
collision which occurred on Tuesday,
July 27. resulted in the death of the
motorcycle driver, yesterday, at St.
Vincent's hospital.
According to the report of Con-
stable E1wood, of Fairfield the Oak
land touring car, driven by B1acker,
was travelling at a moderate rate of
speed on the west side of the street.
The motorcycle was coming in the
opposite direction, also at a low rate
of speed. The road between the troll
ley tracks is very rough, and it was
said that the vibration caused the
front spring of the car to break.
causing the driver to lose control of
the auto.
Testimony of A. Money of 81 Eliza
beth street, was that the two vehi-
cles were in the single track, at the
same time, and because of the cond1-
ton of the road it was impossible for
the driver of either vehicle to avoid
the accident.
Valentine Blacker. a passenger in
the injuring auto. stated that the
spring broke. and it was impossible
to guide the steering wheel toward
the right. He claimed that the con-
dition of the road caused the spring
to snap. Frank Blacker, the driver
of the auto, stated that a truck in
front of him, had caused him to turn
the car into the tracks, and when Ee
| was ready to turn back into the war
ranited part of the road, the spring
snapped, and he was unable to keeI
| the car from crossing the tracks, te
| the left side of the road.
Louis Goldberg of Wells street, who
was standing on a nearby corner, ane
| saw the accident stated that the
| driver admitted at the time of the &C
| cident that the steering wheel was GU
| of order.
Coroner Phelan will continue the
| hearing until August 16. TIL driver
| is being held by the Fairfield police

MOHAMED Tells
POPE OF indian
REPRISAL PLANS

Rome, July 29.-Mohamed Ali, head
of the Indian Mussulman delegation,
has been received by Pope Benedict.
After his audience a the Vatican he
reported that the pontif had heard
his statement sympatheticalay and had
expressed pleasure at the spirit of
tolerance toward other religions being
shown by the Indian Mussulnan.
Mohamed said his principal protest
was beca use England has not main
tanned the pledges made with respect
to the holy places, having instead
practically abolished the Caliphate
and placed the holy places all under
direct or indirect British domin sion
After declaring that the entire east
has fallen into the hands of Lloyd
George 'Mohamed declared:
1--WE cannot tolerate British and
French mandates over places where
the Mussulmans consider themselves
as Gods and manufactures"
Mohamed then explained the pro-
gram which the Indians intended car
rying out against Great Britain as
follows: First, the return of all deco
rations and titles received from the
British government; second, the re-
signation of positions occupied by
Indians in the British administration
third, the resignation of all Indian
soldiers and policemen, which would
prevent British occupation of Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine, and fourth, re-
fusal to pay taxes.
If these actions were not sufficient,
Mohamed added, then a molly wal
would be proclaimed.

FARE. COMMISSION
TO MEET MONDAY

According to Percy T. Litchfield,
chairman of the Fair Fare Commits
sion, appointed by Mayor Wilson I'M
der the resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
the Commission will hold its first
meeting Monday.
The committee is not complete as
yet and Mayor Wilson said today that
he would appoint several additional
members in a short time.
The mayor has already named be-
sides the chairman, Alderman Arthur
Brown, Edward J. Dillon and Stanley
H. Billiard. AS Mr.. Dillon is going

his place.
The meeting Monday will be for
organization purposes and the COM

campaign to get data on which they
can base their recommendations to
the aldermen.
Chairman Litchfield thinks that it
will take some time to gather suffi-
cient facts on which they can base

NEW FARE WILL
INCLUDE CITY
Continued from Page One. }


Uses, a fiat rate system of fares, So
called, with an initial fare of Z cents
for the first zone and cents per
zone thereafter; the zones in cities to
be approximately three miles in
length, radiating from traffic centers,
and corresponding substantially to the
present three one-rnile zones; and all
other zones to be substantially two
miles in length, corresponding ap-
proximately in length to, and includ-
ing two of the present mile zones;
with free transfers at all transfer
points.
The company shall issue commu-
tation tickets, good for round trip
daily between the traffic center of any
incorporated city or borough having a
population of 25,0G0 or more, accord
ing to the latest authenticated census,
land points more than five miles dis
tant therefrom, on all lines radiating
from such traffic centers, for the num-
lber of days in any month less Sun
days and legal holidays; said commu-
tation tickets to be sold at the rate OF
2 IA cents per mile; to be issued to
the individual commuter; to be non
transferable, and to expire at the end
Of each month. School tickets shall
BE issued at one-half regular rates.
ION account of the uncertainty OF
| zone limitations in the 7-cent zone
plan submitted by the company, and
the creation of new fare limits there
| by, it was deemed advisable to estab-
fish a 6-cent zone for areas already
substantially determined under the
present mile zone system, but retain
ing cents as the initial fare.
'NThe commission is not satisfied
that the temporary rate herein au-
thorized is a proper rate or that il
will produce the revenues needed an6
| expected by the company, but it is
permitted on the urgent request of the
company as a temporary and ar
emergency rate.
| THE commission is of the opinion
that If there is to be a return to the
| fiat rate system, the general public
would be better satisfied with re-
| turn to substantially the old fiat rate
zones or fare limits, but it is now
claimed by officers of the company
that a fiat rate of cents on the ole
fiat areas would not produce sufh
cient revenue to allow the company
to continue operation.
| Believing that the old zones or fla
fare limits are closely connected with
the industrial and commercial devel
opment of the communities of the
state, and would, subject to certain
notifications of grave inequalities
meet with public demand, we there
fore direct the Connecticut Compan.
to present at the adjourned hearing
of this case a plan and rate schedule
contemplating the use of said old far,
limits.
In conformity with suggestion:
made at the hearing, this case is con
! tinued from the date hereof to Octo
Der 1, 1920, at 1880 o'clock in the fore
non, daylight saving time, at the off1c'

London, July 31-Charges that the
Sim Fein is part of a great world
wide conspiracy in which Bolshevism
and German revenge are playing an
active part aiming at the destruction
of Great Britain, have been made by

which Carson and the Duke were
chief spokesman for the Unionists.
The Duke said an alliance was
