are expected this week and Monday
All exhibits should be in the exchange
building by next Monday afternoon.
The Farmers Exchange Week wa:
originally planned as merely an op
portunity for the merchants and far
mers to get together for their mu
tual benefit, but it has broadened tc
such an extent that the promoters
are really sorry that it was not Off
cially named the Bamberg County
: Fair, for the prospects now are that
it is going to be a most excellent
small fair for the exhibition of the
products of the county.

been very short, the arrangements
committee expects to take care of all
exhibits offered in farm produce OF
I'VE SLOCk anu pOulIIy.
The fair opens Tuesday morning
with big free community barbecue
The entertainment committee has Sc
cured plenty of hogs and calves for

The full and detailed programme
of all events for Exchange Week ap-
pears in a full page advertisement
in The Herald today. Read the pro-
gramme carefully, and make your ar
rangements to visit Bamberg on each
of the days, for there is something
of special interest on each day.
One of the biggest features of the
occasion Will be the addresses of DR..
w. W. Long, and n. E. Winters, both
Of the extension service Of Clemson
college. DR.. Long will speak on Tues
day at some convenient point on the
exchange grounds. Dr.. Long needs
no introduction to the people of Bam-
berg county. He is at the head of the
extension service, and has been iden-
titled with the agricultural depart
ment for long period of years. His
address will bring to the farmers es-
pecially a message worth travelling
many miles to hear
Mr.. Winters is one of the boil
weevil experts of the extension SER
vice. He recently made addresses
at the community fairs at Ehrhardt
and Colston, both of whoch were de-
scribed as the finest on this subject
ever heard in this county. He knows
the boil weevi1 from A to q, and he
knows the methods that have been
successfully employed in other sec
tions to combat this pest. He will
also tell the farmers of the crops that
should be raised under boil weevil
conditions and how they should be
planted and cultivated.
This is a great opportunity for our
people to become familiar with the
plans for beating the weevil.
The exhibits will be displayed at
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse,
which is the largest building under
one roof and in one room in this sec:
tion of the state. 1t has ample ca
pacity, and is in every way suitable
for this occasion.
Wednesday will probably be the
"big day." if there is one day bigger
than another, of the Exchange Week.
On this day the schools of the coun-
ty will be here in full force. Most of
the school have already arranged to
give holiday Wednesday, and other
schools will be visited during this
week. The schools will assemble at
Rhoad park, from which place they
will parade through the streets. This
parade will be headed by band, and
will be joined in by numerous floats
by organizations and business houses.
Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg is in charge
of the floats. Every one who will is
invited to enter a float. Floats may
be entered by individuals, firms, or
organizations. AS many floats as pos
sible are desired FOR the parade. Priz-
es will be awarded to the best floats
in the parade.
On Wednesday, Miss Emma Jane
Warn, county home demonstration
agent, will hold her annual exhibit
OF home demonstrations clubs. This
is always a most interesting display
of woman's work. Miss YARNS pro-
gramme will include demonstrations
of various kinds, and addresses by
prominent women from various sec
tions.
Miss Kearse Loses Bag.
