A special communication of Ornan
lodge, No. SO, A. F. NJ, was held on
Thursday night, May 5. The occasion
of the special communication was an
official visit of the district deputy
grand master, A. A. Lemon, of Barn
we'll, and also an elaborate banquet
that was rendered the large number
of visiting Masons. Delegations were
present from Barnwell, [Blackville,
Branchville, Denmark and Olar lodg-
es. and there were visitors from 9TH
er lodges in the state for the cere-
monies. Six past masters and two
masters aided in the comforting of the
masters degree on Fellowcraft E. o.
Shealy. The lodge was opened at
7:30 and the first section of the
degree was conferred. At o'clock
the wearers of the square and COM
rass marched to the dining hall of
Carlisle school, where most tempt
ing banquet was served by Mrs. Jo-
sephine Beach, the beloved matron
of the school. When all had satis-
fed the demands of the inner man,
short talks we're made by District
Deputy Lemon, Mayor Thomas and
Rev. S. o. Cantey. At ten O'Clock
the lodge was again assembled in
the Masonic hall and the second Sec
ton of the masters degree was con-
ferred on the candidate. The local
officers we're assisted in the work by
MANY of the visiting Masons and the
work was carried out impressively.
The local lodge is in very pros
porous condition. Much work has
been done in the immediate past and
several candidates are being given
the various degrees at the stated as
we'll as special communications. The
secretary and treasurer report that
the lodge is in excellent shape fnan-

PEOPLE WANT DAY CURRENT.
Meeting Unanimous in Opinion That
Town Must Have Facility.

1t is gratifying to the people who
love Bamberg and want to see the
old town 60 forward that when a
situation which threatens to lay down
a barrier to progress arises the citi-
zens quickly come to the rescue.
such was the character Of the citi-
zers meeting held last Thursday
morning in regard to the day electric
current situation. The commission
ers had informed some Of the consum-
ers of day current that the plant is
being operated unprofitably in the
day time, and that some arrangement
would have to be made if the service
should be continued.
Quite a number Of citizens, includ-
ing a half dozen or so ladies, we're
present at the theatre. LaVerne
Thomas was made chairman of the
meeting and R. NJ. Hit secretary.
The matter of day current was
widely discussed, and everyone SEEM
ed to be unanimously of the opinion
that under no circumstances must the
service be discontinued. Many opera
tors of electrically driven machinery
and appliances expressed themselves
as being ruined if the day current
were cut off, and one user stated
that after working hand devices for
thirty years before he would return
to the practice again he would move
elsewhere. However, the meeting
was in good spirit and everyone was
anxious only that the interests of the
town should be safeguarded, and the
belief seemed to prevail that the town
would undoubtedly suffer immeasur-
ably unless the service is continued.
Mr.. Dickinson, of the commission,
was present and stated that the COM
missioners had no desire to cripple
the town; that they were up against
a situation and wanted to know how
the people desired it handled. The
receipts the past month we're some
500 below, the operating cost, and
the deficit had to be made good in
some manner. There was no desire
whatever to criticise the commission
ers, as it is the general belief that
they are endeavoring in every pos
sible way to give the people of the
town the service that the city should
have. A vote of confidence was ex-
pressed in lne commissioners.
It was explained that appliances
have been purchased for the power
house equipment by which current
consumed in the day can and will be
measured, and likewise the amount
of current consumed in lighting the
streets will be ascertained, and as
soon as these appliances are installed
the commissioners will be in position
to intelligently fix the charges, but
as it will be some time before this
can be done, an arrangement was
asked to meet the deficit now>appear-
ing each month.
A method of handling the matter
was suggested by the meeting, and
appears to have met with the approval
of all parties concerned, which in
sures the continuation of day elec-
trio current.

school board and school authorities might well follow by
making investigation of the hazng of sophomoes doused
under the shower baths and forbddng further hazg No
penalties however enforced against the hazers.
This again raises the ISSUE why does the school board and
the school authorities tolerate hazng? Is there discipline
in the high school that which students themselves
voluntarily provide? Are there rules governing the
duct of students and penalties provided for infringement
Apparently the conduct of the schools is turned to the
student soviet and the school authorities have abdcated
in it's favor
This calls attention to the fact that although students
injured in hazng by high school secret societies two
weeks ago. action has been taken by the school board
