HARD TO FIGURE.
L. NJ. Aver Trying to Pay Expenses on
5000 Melon Profits.

l.. NJ. Aver, local farmer, has
quite a problem on hand. He is try
ing to pay the expenses of a load of
watermelons on the profits he recently
didn't receive from Baltimore
broker. The proposition looks simple,
for while there is a good deal of ex-
pense attached to growing water
melons, Mr.. Ayers statement shows
that his profits run into three figures,
which if they represent dollars, ought
to pay expenses and leave some over.
Mr.. Aver recently loaded a fairly
good car of melons and shipped them
to commission merchant in Balti-
more for disposition. In due time
he received a statement of the sale
of the melons, The statement is so
neat and BALANCES SO we'll, that we
herewith reproduce it:

BIG GAME SCHEDULED.
Charleston Sally Team Comes to Bam-
berg On August 19.

Base ball fans in Bamberg and ad-
joining counties will be interested in
the announcement of the Bamberg
base ball club of a game between the
local team and the Charleston South
Atlantic league team, which will be
played in Bamberg on Thursday. Au-
gust 49, This is the biggest game that
will ever have been played on the
home diamond, and no doubt by far
the biggest crowd Of the season will
be here.
The Charleston team had an off day
on the 18th, and number of teams in
this section tried to secure the en-
gagement, but before closing the date
the manager of the Charleston club
gave Bamberg tho REFUSAL The Bam-
berg boys snapped at the opportun-
ity and started to work at once to
advertise the big event. Charleston
announces that it will play the regu-
lars lineup.

DOLLAR A POUND TOBACCO.
Bamberg Market Sets New Standard
of Season for Weed.

Bamberg again comes to the front
in the tobacco market. A new high
record was attained Tuesday, when
a basket of tobacco on the floor of
the Denbow warehouse was bid in
for $4,000 per hundred pounds. The
lot of tobacco was the property of j..
B. Mccormick, and while it was a
small lot, it was carefully selected
and OF the very finest tobacco to be
had.
The sale Tuesday was very satls-
factory. There was considerably
more good tobacco on the warehouse
floors than usual, and the good grades
broug excellent prices. Several far
mers received from As to SO cents a
pound.
Tobacco growers are urged by the
warehouse managers to bring their
product to the market promptly, as
the prices are good now, and they
suggest that it is better to get the
good prices while they prevail than
to wait and take chances on lower
prices

WILL CARE FOR POTATOES.
Potato Curing House Will BE Ready
i'm Six Weeks.

The promoters Of the Bamber9
sweet potato curing house announce
that the contract for the erection OF
the plant has been awarded, and that
the house will be ready for business
within the next six weeks, which will
be in time to take care of the season S
crop of potatoes.
Some delay in the erection of the
potato curing house was occasioned
recently by some trouble with a pota-
to house man who was interested in
the local concern. This matter has
now been Strengthened out so far as
1t concerned the erection of the plant,
and the work will go forward. The
house will be built according t9 gov
ernment specifications.
1t is the intention Of the company,
which is composed of J. H. Cope, C.
w. Rentz, Sr., Dr.. George F. Hair,
and E. G. Hays, to buy the potatoes
or cure them for the farmers. Farm
ers may store their product in the
house, have it cured, and then sell
when the market conditions are most
favorable. Proper crates will be pro-
vided for shipping the potatoes to
any of the markets. The use of the
crates prevents bruising the potatoes.
The erection of the sweet potato
curing house in Bamberg is a step
in the right direction, and it will add
another means of beating the boil
weevil. 1t is hoped that the farmers
will back the enterprise to the limit.
Sweet potatoes is one of the most
valuable, and at the same time one of
the most sadly neglected, crops of
Bamberg county. 1t is a crop that is
easily made, and can with the assist
ance of curing house be grown with
fine profits.

A Beautiful Century Plant

Many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Utsey were given the opportunity
Saturday and Sunday nights cf seeing
very beautiful specimen of flower
popularly known as the century
plant which was open on these
nights in their front yard. The plant
belongs to Prof. w. G. Duncan, who
left it in Mrs. Utsey's care while he is
on his vacation. The plant is not
what is listed botanically as the cen
tury plant, but IS probably species
of it. The real century plant attains
the age of 70 to 100 years before
blooming, and once the blooms open
the plant perishes. The plant in Mrs.
Utsey's yard bore some dozen flowers
the size of a good size platter, with
marvellous beauty. The buds began
to open only upon the approach OF
darkness, attaining full beauty by ten
O'Clock, and then closing before dawn
the next morning. The blooms open
only once, and all Of the buds had
opened by Sunday night. The plant
is a very unusual one and excited
a great deal of admiration.

Mrs. Burch EntertainS.

Two very pleasant visitors from
Florence, Mrs. Burch and Mrs. Thom-
SIS Burch, have been guests of Mr..
and Mrs. James Burch, of this city.
The other Saturday morning at elev-
en- o'clock, the home of Mrs. James
Burch was the scene of an informal
party given in their honor. Quite
a few friends of the hostess came to
meet her visitors. The house was
tastily decorated with ferns and yell
low daisies.
Mrs. Burch and Miss Bessie Lee
Black greeted the ladies at the door,
and in turn. presented them to the
honorees. While seated in the parlor
and large reception hall, lively con-
versation was entered into while
sweet music was played On the piano
and Pathe. The guests were invited
to- a sewing party, but it appeared
by the folded hands that these women
chose to play and not work single
bit. Surely, they decided that they
needed to play some lest "all work
and no play should make Jack dull
boy"
Most delightful punch was served
by Mrs. Laurie Smoak and Miss Nell
Black. Minutes changed to hours all
too quickly, and just before time
for the guests to go to their homes,
Mrs. Laurie Smoak and Misses Bes-
sic Lee and Nell Black served
block cream and delightful crackers.
Mrs. James Burch was gracious
hostess on this delightful occasion
and no doubt her friends went away
hoping that they would be so fortu-
nate as to again be invited to her
home in the near future.-Contribut-

More Truth Than Poetry.

The slickers swarm around the
farm and try to wheedle us and
charm the ducats from our weasel
skins, for imitation diamond pins,
and dopes to cure us of all ills, and
boxes from which dollar bills will
roll out when we press the knobs,
and make us wealthy in great gobs;
or else they offer us a brick of plated
brass four inches thick, or stocks OF
western silver lodes and shares in
ranches raising toads, or chances IN
great wealth to roll them all in the
Dismal Swamp athwart of which the
turtles romp.
They talk and talk and hand us
out their good cigars the while they
shout, and slap us on our toil-Worn
backs with many hearty whole-souled
whacks. I'spose I've got enough cl-
gars to load at%east two motor cars,
and whacks enough to dent my shell
and make it sore for quite a spell.
I've also heard the latest jokes to tell
Of evenings to the folks. In fact,
I've got from each such gent what
ever didn't invest in anything that
they didn't suggest.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The many friends of Miss Gertrude
Smoak, who has been very i'll with
appendicitis in a Charleston hospital,
viii be glad to know that she is now
rapidly improving.
D. A. Patterson exhibited in the
city this week the first specimens Of
sweet potatoes for rhis season. The
tubers we're of fine size, and Mr.. Pat
terson has his potato patch is full of
them.
\. A. Boyajian, the young Armen-
ian graduate who recently visited
Bamberg and spoke here in the inter-
est of the Near East campaign, has
returned to this state after spending
several weeks in Tennessee in the in
terest of the campaign, and will con-
tinue the work in this state as field
secretary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Zeigler carried
their little infant son to Augusta re-
Gently for treatment for sCOm-
ach trouble, Mrs. Zeigler re-
naming with the little fellow. Their
many friends will be glad to know
that the little boy is now much i'm
proved and will soon be able to re-
turn home.
The new freight and passenger rates
go into effect on August 26. Official
notification of the increased passen-
ger rates has been sent out. The in
crease in passenger fares is 20 per
cent, while Pullman tickets will cost
so per cent. more than at present.
Present mileage books will be valid,
but more coupons will be required
to purchase tickets.
Mrs. Mary Bessinger. of Fairfax,
aged So years, died last week at
Columbia hospital where she was car
ried three weeks before her death for
treatment. She is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Ida Lain, of Colum-
bia, and Mrs. J. G. Gunnells, of Au-
gusta, besides a host CT other re:a-
tives. She was we'll known through
out this section. Interment took
place at Fairfax.
In an article recently published IN
the Columbia Record, the health au-
thorities are quoted as saying that in
their belief no more new cases of
malaria would develop in Bamberg-
contingent, of course, on the main
tenance Of the malaria control work.
Recent inspections have failed to dis
cover the presence in the city of any
anopheles mosquitoes, the only kind
which are said to infect the human
system with the germs Of malaria.

Rev. Wiggins on Vocation.

Rev. ". E. Virgins, pastor Of the
Denmark Methodist church, accom-
panied by Mrs. Virgins, left Monday
for New York city for a vacation trip
of about three weeks. They will
probably visit Niagara Falls and other
interesting points before returning to
Denmark. The congregation of the
Rev. Mr.. Virgins, in appreciation of
his unselfsh devotion to his pastoral
work, presented him with a purse Of
money to pay his expenses while away
on his vacation. Mr.. Virgins some
weeks ago suffered a very painful af-
fection of the right eye, but his
friends will be glad to know that he
is now very much improved. This is
the first year of Rev. and Mrs. Wig
gins in Denmark, but they have form
ed many warm acquaintance
throughout the county.

MINNOWS AT WORK.
Little Fish Are Helping to Eliminate
Mosquitoes Here.

One of the most interesting features
of the anti-malaria work in Bamberg
is the use Of the top minnoW." These
little fishes, the smallest species, now
infest every place in town where there
is water standing which may develop
into propagating beds for the ano-
pheles mosquito. The use of the top
minnow is now employed in all sci
entific malaria control projects. and
the results obtained are satisfactory
indeed.
In the bitches myriads of these lit
tie health workers are constantly kept
busy eating the eggs of the mosquito
and in this way prevents the eggs
from producing more 'skeeters.' 1t
is a source of much interest to the
little kids when they first discover
that a ditch near their homes con-
tains real fish-though they are so
small that one has to look closely for
them.
Contrary to popular ideas there is
nothing marvellous about these little
fish. They were not imported to Bam-
berg. There are millions of them in
the waters of Lemon Swamp and near
by ponds. They are only the ordinary
"minnows,' although few people have
suspected that they were of any earth
ly use except for bait.

BYRNES CONFIDENT OF VERDICT.
South Car6linian Certain of Demo-
Gratis Carrying Western States.

Aiken, Aug. 7.--Representative
Byrnes today returned to Aiken. Al
ter attending the convention at San
Francisco he joined his committee on
appropriations which was engaged in
visiting various reclamation projects
for which money was appropriated by
the government. His work IN this
connection took him into the farming
communities of the west and when
asked about the political situation in
that section of the country he said
that he was confident that Governor
Cox would carry Montana, Idaho and
Utah, and that he had an excellent
chance of carrying California and
Washington. Mr.. Byrnes stated that
he returned via Washington and COM
municated to those in charge of the
Democratic campaign the result of his
observations while in the west.
He stated that in town in wy
oming he heard travelling salesman
offer to wager even money that Cox
would be elected and several Republl-
cans who were in the hotel lobby, Who
announced that while they would have
bet on the Republican success before
the convention they would not now do
so. This, Mr.. Byrnes contends is an
indication of the sentiment in the
west.
Mr.. Byrnes has promised the COM
mittee to make a number of speeches
in debatable later states in the cam
paign.

Methodist Ladies' Glass Picnic.

The welcome class, better noWn as
the ladies Bible class, of the Meth
odist Sunday school, gave a picnic
Thursday afternoon at Springtown
church, to which were invited Method
lists who were not members Of our
class. The l. les who arranged this
picnic decided that it would be the
right thing to invite the Methodist
ladies and girls and those men whom
they could see in the limited time
they had for arranging for this little
social outing.
About 4::30 o'clock on a pretty,
clear afternoon quite few went out
to old SpringtoWn church, where the
trees are beautiful with long hang
ing moss. How restful it is sometimes
to HE ourselves away to the country
where everything is so quiet and
peaceful and where the air is so
fresh and invigorating. We were
happy in our selection of a place for
a picnic. Somehow, God seems very
real and very near to US in place
like the one to which we went.
While we missed some Of our faith
full members who are away at differ
ent resorts, We were glad that as
many as did set aside the labors OF
the day and betook ourselves to the
country to mix and mingle socially
with fellow churchmen and class Sis
ters. Soma games were entered into,
and after d while everyone went to
the table where a bountiful supper
was spread. Each person seemed to
do Justice to this afternoons meal.
