Many Weevils Found.

Inasmuch as everybody is expect
ing the boil weevils to be here this
year in myriads, there is very lit
tie news in the fact that they are al
ready being found in large numbers.
However, there may be some interest
in this item: Sheriff Ray was telling
it Tuesday afternoon that a colored
farmer near Bamberg had told him
Of finding forty of the hustling little
pests within an area ten feet square.
The sheriff wasn't doubling anybody S
word, but in order that he may be
fully convinced Of the story, he in
vestigated for himself. He found
the weevils prevalent as indicated.
They we're perched up on nearly all
of the cotton plants waiting for some
thing to happen.

CARLISLE LOSES THREE.
Locals Suffered Reverses Last Week
Right Along.

Last week was Carlisle's off week
week in base ball circles. She
played three games and lost con-
sistently throughout, bringing down
her splendid record to such close
margin for the state championship
that the game of the following Tues
day narrowed down to the "cham-
pionship BOUT for the locals. How
ever, fortunately for the cadets, two
Of the games of last week were not
included in the state contest.
Thursday Carlisle played Orange
burg high school, and the visitors
turned the tables. Previously Bam-
berg had won the game from the Ed
isto boys, but the game Thursday
went to Orangeburg to 2.
Friday the A. R. G. team from Au-
gusta came down and played the ca
diets, winning 10 to 0. This was a
veritable walk away, and the game
is one the locals are not very proud
of. Saturday another game was
played with the same team, and a
little better showing was made, how
ever the visitors again won 6 to 2.

REFUSE TO SELL PLANT.
Citizens Overwhelmingly Opposed to
Disposing Of Property.

In the election held in Bamberg
last Thursday to decide the question
of whether the city. of Bamberg
should sell and dispose Of the city
waterworks system and plant and the
electric light and power plant the
vote was overwhelmingly against the
proposed sale. About three citizens
voted against the proposed sale to
one voting in favor of the proposition.
It seemed to be the prevailing idea
that it would be a dangerous thing
for the city to dispose of its public
utilities property, and large ma
jority voted accordingly. While the
election was not for the specific pur-
pose of making transfer of the prop
erty, as there are no bidders for it,
the proposition was to confer the
authority on the city to make the
sale in the event that a suitable offer
was received. The result of the elec-
tion means that the title to all the
property involved in the waterworks
system and power plant will remain
in the name of the city and will be
operated by the municipality.

Bamberg in the class of the larger
towns in point of mail facilities. All
classes of mail are handled in this de-
livery, including newspapers, first
class mail and parcel post.

(By waldo Lever.
A commencement of school like

We think of the students who have

think of the aspirations Thich will
be awakened, we feel that it is not
a common occasion which we are
preparing to observe. We know that
no better programme could have been
prepared than the one which has
been perfected. 1t may be Of interest
to the friends of our school to know
that with the exception of one or
two) the present faculty will return
next year. The scribe knows it to be
fact that no company of men can
be more congenial and sincere than
the present Carlisle faculty. The
present student body is one of the
best behaved group of boys that can
be found anywhere. They have had
several compliments for good deport-
ment throughout the year from men
of national repute.
Commencement exercises will be-
gin Saturday night, May %, and will
end Monday night, May 80. The
speakers will need no formal intro
duction to their audiences because
they are men of wide renown. DR..

Enjoy Fine Picnic.

The membership of Trinity Sum
day school enjoyed it's annual picnic
at New Bridge, on the Edisto river,
last Wednesday. I Weather condi-
tions came near doing away with the
outing, but after the storm the day
dawned fine and a great picnic was
enjoyed by the several hundred per-
sons present, including the entire bat
talon of Carlisle school. Captain Roy
Webster, whose powers of description
are broad, especially when table
laden with eatibles is before him, thus
describes the scene in The Carlisle
Bugle:
"A table one hundred twenty feet
long literally weighted down with
good things to tempt the appetite;
fried chicken galore and baked chick
en- in abundance; whole hams of the
highest quality boiled so perfectly as
to melt in the mouth when tasted;
sandwiches of all kinds, including
pimento and lettuce; the most delic-
ious pickles of all kinds, in variety
almost sufficient to equal the famous
$751;" an endless nj nber of pies, re-
calling to mind the kind that mother
used to bake in the sweet long ago;
the finest cakes of all descriptions,
including chocolate cake, raisin cake,
cocoanut cake, and many others
which the reporter was unable to test.
In addition to all these good things,
w. D. Rhoad presided at a magic
barrel which turned out quantities of
lemonade in a manner which dehes

haustible supply of lemonade lasted
until every one was ready to leave
the grounds in the afternoon. IN
other words, there was an abundance

TAX LEVY is FIXED.
Bamberg District Will Pay 1S Mills
Again for the Next Year.

A meeting of the taxpayers of Bam-
berg school district, No. IA, was held
in the city hall Monday afternoon at
four o'clock for the purpose of fix
ing the tax levy for the next year
and the election of two trustees.
A. w. knight was made chairman
of the meeting, after WHICH it was
stated that the unexpired term of
w. NJ. Brabham, deceased, must be
filled by election. This trusteeship
has been held by election of the board
by A. VI. Brabham until the annual
election. Mr.. Brabham was elected
to the unexpired term without oppo-
sition.
The term of H. w. Adams expires
this year, and B. D. Carter and A.
Rice were nominated for his success
sor. Ballots were prepared, and the
election resulted. Mr.. Carter, 16
votes, and Mr.. Rice, 3, upon which
the chairman declared Mr.. Carter
elected.
The matter Of fixing the tax levy
was then brought before the meet
ing. Chairman Hooton, of the board
of trustees, stated that it had been
the hope of the board that the tax
levy might be reduced this year, but
that correspondence with other like
schools revealed the fact that no re-
duction in salaries of teachers was
contemplated for the next session, and
in view of this fact the board deemed
it unwise at this time to make any
reductions in the salaries of the To-
cal teachers. This statement was sub
stantiated by Superintendent Allen, of
the city schools, who has been in
touch with neighboring schools.
A motion was offered that the levy
be fixed at Is mills, the same as last
year, duly seconded and carried with
out dissenting vote. There being no
further business for the meeting to
transact, it was adjourned.
