ELLOREE DEFEATS LOCALS.
Home Boys Lose Second Game in New
Series by Score of 4 to 2.

Bamberg suffered it's second defeat
of the season on the home grounds
Tuesday afternoon when the Locals
took the count and went down before
the hard hitting Elloree team by
score of 4 to 2. The game was In
terrupted by rain in the sixth inn
ing, but was finally completed and
was we'll played and thoroughly en-
joyed. Luther was tapped for eight
hits, but was steady in the pihches.
Schultz was hit rather freely, a total
of ten hits being obtained from his
delivery, but his support wobbled
slightly in one inning. Aside from
that the Bamberg infield played fast
ball. Welsh at short put up re-
markable exhibition, Charlie Rentz
at second fielded in major league
form, and the stellar play OF the
game was pulled by "Gyp' at thlro
when he nailed runner at secono
after making the most sensational
stop ever seen at Rhoad park. This
bow gets better every day, but there S
M more room for improvement now.
Large playing left field couldn't 40
much at bat, only getting two SIN
giles and triple. Ulmer at hrst Dase
for the visitors put up neat nelolns
game.
It isn't so bad to see. the home
team lose when they play great pail
as thew did Tuesday, the kind that
is sure to win many more games lot lot
them before the season is over: II
is altogether probable that the Team
would have won Tuesday had 1t not
been for a bad break against us IN tne
first inning. The visitors scored nrst
in the third inning, one run on d
passed ball, Bamberg tied up QUICK
" when Pete Watson romped nome
from second on a single to left by
Schultz. Then the fatal inning came
and with everything going wrong the
visitors chased in three runs and the
game. Things rocked along tnls
way until the ninth inning when Otto
Large got mad and slammed one over
the left fielder's head for a clean
three-bagger, and scored as Charlie
Rentz singled sharply over short.
That was all. Not by way of crltl-
cism, but merely trying to offer a
helpful suggestion, pinch hitter to-
wards the close of a game sometimes
works mighty well, and no ball play
er ever got a two-bagger when the
umpire called the third strike on him
right over the base. The next game
will be here Thursday with Spring
field. Score by innings:

FAREWELL SERMON.
The Rev. p. W. .DuBose Concludes
Pastorate of Bamberg Church.

Sunday evening at $50 the Rev.
Pierre W. DuBose brought to a close
his pastorate of the Bamberg Presby-
terian church. He now goes to Will
mington, n. c., where he becomes
assistant to a large pastorate. Mr..
DuBose has been pastor of the Bam-
berg, Denmark, Blackville and Barn
we'll churches for several years, con-
ducting services at each of the church
es twice each month, and it is with
keen regret not only among his own
congregations, but among his num-
erous sincere friends in these towns,
that he ceases his pastoral work in
this state.
He is most conscientious and
hard working young pastor, and he
threw every ounce Of his energy into
his ministerial work in Bamberg and
at his other churches. AS a result OF
his hard work he has built up some
strong chruches, and established or
ganizations that will carry forward
the work after he has gone.
A meeting is scheduled to be held
in Blackville this week by the Off
GERS of the four churches with a
view 10 discussing the matter of Sc
curing a successor to Mr.. DuBose,
and it is hoped that within a short
time a pastor will be in charge OF
these churches.
Mr.. DuBose was married during his
local pastorate, and his charming
wife has accompanied him to BAN
berg on many occasions. She has
formed many warm acquaintance
here, and the very best wishes OF
their friends accompany Rev. and
Mrs. DuBose to their new home.

Another Cotton Pest?

Farmer E. c. Bruce exhibited to
The Herald Wednesday peculiar
sort of cotton pest, which he found
in his field. The insect was worm
about one-half or three-fourths of an
inch in length. 1t had completely
eaten a young cotton boil, and from
it's huskiness appeared to have a ca
pacity for many more.
It is not thought to be the army
work, which is wreaking SO much
havoc in portions of the state. The
worm was sent to Clemson college
for examination.

HARDING NOT A PROFIT.
Drys Have Also Camped On the Trail
Of Republican Nominee.

Senator Harding holds that prohl-
bition without compensation is con-
fscation. At least, he. did at one
time take that. position. The Anti
Saloon League now fears that if he is
chosen president, the liquor men put
out of business will have the right
to ask of him that they be compensat-
ed for the business losses put upon
them because of the Eighteenth
Amendment. In voting to submit
the amendment to the general as
semblies of the country, Senator
Harding asserted that he was not
prohibitionist, and never had been,
and that in sending the amendment to
the states, he reserved to himself
the right, in the event of ratification,
to move for compensation, for, the
financial losses resulting On federal
prohibition.
On August /, 1917, in the senate,
Mr.. Harding said: D..
'''I do not hesitate to say that l
approach the question from strong
sense of justice, and if this, amend
ment is submitted to the people Of
the United States and receives the
sanction of three-fourths/ of the Gen
eral Assem- blies, then, if my tenure
of office still stands, am willing to
go further and join in. a movement to
make it effective through a: process
of compensation to the business de-
stroyed."
The Enti-Saloon League is violent
ly opposed to compensation. 1t de-
clares that fair and full notice was
given, years in advance, of the ap-
proach of prohibition, and that the
man who did not heed the warning
has only himself to blame. They
would consider compensation USE
less waste of the peoples money.
They are going after Senator Hard
ing for an explanation and a state
ment. at this time, of what he is going
to do about it.
During the debate in the senate on
the prohibition amendment Senator
Harding declared: II am in sympa-
thy with the opposition to the resolu-
tion about the unfairness of adopting
a federal amendment under the pro-
visions of the constitution on ques-
tion relating to personal liberty, and
if there were any other method OF
subp ting an amendment l should
be very glad to employ it. l am not
prohibitionist and. never have pre-
tended TO be. do not approach this
question from moral viewpoint, be-
cause l am unable to see it as great
moral question.
81 do not think prohibition
amendment will be effective, You
can not make any law stronger than
the public sentiment which sees TO its
enforcement
Mr.. Harding regretted the 'pres-
sure brought to settle' the prohibl-
ton issue at this time, August l,
1917, but felt himself impelled to
vote for the prohibition of the people
doing the pressing.
Ever since have been in public
have seen men continually measur-
ed by the wet and dry yardstlck, =,
said he, ''and the submission of this
amendment is going to measure every
candidate for public Office by the wet
and dry yardstick until the final set
