WILL COMPLETE WE'LL.
Contractor Will Resume Work as
Soon as Possible.

The fact that there has been no
work going on on the artesian we'll
in Bamberg during the past week or
two has caused some speculation
which might be explained AS already
stated in The Herald. there was diff
Guilty encountered in the boring of
the we'll occasioned by the strainer
piping being caught in the quicksand
stratum now reached in the drilling
operations. This piping was let down
down to prevent the inflow of sand
into the we'll, and became caught,
presuma bly, by pressure or suction,
and could not be either moved down
or pulled up.
Chairman Dickinson, of the COM
missioners of public works, was in
telephone conversation with Mr.. Ar
90, the contractor, Monday morning,
and Mr.. Argo assured him that he
would proceed with the we'll as soon
as he can get the material on the
ground. He intends to remove the
eight-inch strainer, if possible. II
this cannot be done, he will take up
the matter with the commissioners OF
completing the we'll to the necessary
depth with six-inch bore. AS al
ready stated the well was to have
an eight-inch bore at the bottom, but
if the eight-inch strainer cannot be
moved, it will be impossible to carry
it on with an eight-inch bore, as it
would be necessary to bore inside OF
the eight-inch pipe, and continue the
we'll with a six-inch bore.
1t may also be stated that the city s
interests are fully protected in the
matter of the well and the loss occa-
stoned by the strainer being caught
falls on the contractor. The material
he is getting to work "on the we'll is
being brought here at the expense OF
Mr.. Argo, who has shown every dis
position to be entirely fair with the
city, and the commissioners feel full,
ly satisfied the entire matter will be
properly adjusted to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned. 1t may be
stated, further, that just such acci'
dents as these occur frequently in
we'll drilling operations. Such con-
ditions cannot, be foreseen. In fact
many wells have been drilled to great
depths only to be abandoned for this
or similar reasons. But there is now
no reason, apparently, for the aban-
donment of this we'll, as it can Ger,
tainly be completed with a six-inch
bore if it is found impossible to re-
move the obstruction.

AUTOMOBILE OVERTURNS..
Miss Harriedel Free Injured in Acct
dent Sunday Afternoon.

Miss Harriedel Free, Of this city,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. D. Free,
sustained painful injury last Sun
day afternoon, when an automobile
in which she was riding was over
turned about seven miles from Barn
well. The accident occurred at a
point sparsely travelled and consider
ably difficulty was encountered get
ting to Barnwell, the nearest point.
They arrived in Barnwell four hours
after the accident, and Miss Free
was given medical attention, and she
was then brought on home. 1t will
probably be several days before she
can return to her duties as school
teacher at Milhaven, Ga.
Miss Free, accompanied by her rel
atives, Frank Free, Mrs. A. w. Free,
and little boy, all of Milhaven, were
returning to that place after spend

as they were making a hill in Barn

BARNWELL HIGH WINNER.
Bamberg Loses 20 to 0 But Plays
Hard Game.

The Barnwell high school defeated
the Bamberg high school by a score
of 70 to in a game of football play
ed on the Barnwell grounds Friday
The game, although one-sided, was a
fight from beginning to end. Features
of the game were the line plunging
by Conner and long end runs by
Riley, Anderson and Kirkland for
Barnwell and the quarterback's gen.
eral management for the Bamberg
team. Notwithstanding the fact that
Bamberg's team was lighter than the
Barnwell team, it showed a great
amount Of pluck and played a losing
game with the same manly spirit that
they would have played winning
game.

FARMERS EXCHANGE WEEK.
Big Event Planned for Banlberg Five
Days Beginning Nov. %.

The most enthusiastic meeting
held in Bamberg in a long time was
that of Tuesday afternoon at the
town hall, when some forty mer-
chants and other business men OF the
town met to discuss the matter Of
holding a farmers exchange week
here.
The matter of holding such a pc
ROD in Bamberg has been discussed
among the merchants informally for
the past several weeks, and the meet
ing Tuesday was for the purpose of
ascertaining the views of the citizens
of the town. 1t appeared to be unan-
nous among all those at the meeting
that some such event would be a fine
thing for the county, and it was de-
cided to hold the exchange on the
four days beginning November 2Sth.
However, the various committees are
to fully Investigate the matter and
report back to another peeting to
be held next Monday afternoon at
four O'Clock at the town hall. At
this time each committee will make
a report, and all details will be de-
cided. Until these cpiam;ttees for
mulate their plans, definite informa-
ton cannot be given, but it may be
stated that if the present plans ma
ture the farmers exchange week will
be the biggest event of its kind ever
held in this section. It is hoped that
it will for inthe nucleus of great
county fair, among other things.
Mayor Thomas presided over the
meeting and stated its objects. A
number of citizens expressed them
selves as being in sympathy with the
movement, and ~wn la it was at first
proposed on a small scale, the scope
soon broadened out into wider chan
nels than anticipated. Therefore, ,Et
was deemed best to put the commit
tees to work an ascertain just how
big the people would like to make it
and just how far they would like to
go.
Mayor Thomas was elected ,presi-
dent and general chairman, and R. NJ.
Hit general secretary. Committees
were appointed, and to these commit
tees the various women's clubs were
asked to add members. The commit
tees are to get busy on their respect
i've part of the affair and after the

CIVIL COURT IN SESSION.
Judge Shipp Holding One Week
Term Here Now.

Judge S. w. Shipp, of Florence,
opened a one weeks session of the
court of common pleas here Monday
morning. This session was to have
convened last week and last for two
weeks, but the first week of the ses-
sion was called off by mutual consent
of the court and the bar of Bamberg,
and only the last week of the session
is being held. However, an extra
sion of one week viii! be held be-
ginning November 2S.
Considerable time was consumed
Monday in getting down to business,
and it was in the afternoon before
the Jury was selected for the first
case. which was that of Miss Mamie
Bennett, a school teacher who resides
near Lodge, against the Southern
Railway.
In this case Miss Bennett asked
for damages in the sum of $4,000
against the Southern for alleged per-
sonal injury received while a passen-
ger on the defendants road in the
city of Columbia. She had boarded
the train for Branchville, and had
moved from her seat to converse
with some friends. she testified, and
then her seat was taken. The train
being crowded, she said that she had
to occupy a seat with two others. 1t
was while she was thus seated, that
a sudden jolt of the car, which was
previous to this standing still at the
station, threw her to the floor of the
car, inf1icting injuries which she tes-
titled confined her to bed for several
weeks, and from which she has not
yet recovered. She appeared very
nervous on the witness stand and it
was with considerable difficulty that
she told her story.
The railroad denied each and every
allegation of the complaint. The case
occupied the remainder of Monday
and all of Tuesday, being concluded
Wednesday morning.
Up to three-thirty yesterday after
noon the jury had not reached ver-
dict. The jury retired at 10 O'Clock
Yesterday morning.
At the conclusion of the Bennett
case, the case of F. H. McCrae against
Hattie E. Spires. ct al, was started,
and this case was being tried as The
Herald goes to press.
