SAYS CONTENTION OF
N. f. ROADS NOT SOUND

WASHINGTON, Jan. c8-Local
conditions and not rate divisions
among carriers are accountable fo'
the financial condition of New Eng
lard roads, W. H. Williams, chair
man of the Wabash railroad, told the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
da5. He said roads could be found
in all sections which were not taking
3 six per cent return. The conten-

receive more on the division of tariff
line freight rates was not sound as
it would tend to rc-group the carriers
in The eastern territory and place n.
+. in single group. Congress had
intended the 6 per cent return as an
average and not as u guide, he said,

Saturday afternoon, Nov. IL, Mrs.
Swain Merchant entertained the
Apollo Music club most delightfully."-.
AS usual, the business program came
first, and the bazaar being a para
mount interest at the present time,
every phase was freely and enthus-
iastically discussed. Many encour-
aging reports were heard from the
different committees, including a
large display of fancy work, which
certainly proved that they had not
been idle. The doll committee also
gave evidence of busy week. There
were fewer members present than US
ual so the choral practice was omit
ted. After the business meeting ad-
journed, Mrs. Merchant, assisted, by
Mrs. Gilchrist, served most deli
cious salad course.-Contributed.

ARMISTIICE DAY SERVICE.
Meeting Held at the
Baptist Church Friday Night.

Friday evening a special armistice
day service was held by the differ
ent congregations of the city at the
Baptist church. The service partook
of the nature of a thanksgiving and
praise service, commemmorating the
signing of the instrument which end
ed the war three years ago.
Rev. George P. White presided ov-
er the service, which was informal.
Several thanksgiving prayers were
offered, and Mr.. White and Rev. S.
o. Cantey made short talks.
While the audience was nothing
like the number that attended the
services in the summer of 1918 when
earnest prayers were offered that
God might favor the armies of Amer
ica and her allies, there was quite
a number of persons present. Mr..
White recalled the day of the former
service when the stores of the town
closed and two prayers services were
held.

Many Attend Big Foot Ball Game.

Bamberg is a good show town; and
Bamberg is good sporting and
athletic town. It's people have the
reputation of going far and wide to
big events, and it is rare that any
thing worth while in this part of the
country can be pulled off without
Bamberg sending nice representa-
ton to be present and see it well
done. Last week more than one au-
tomobile travelled all the way from
here to Greenville for its human bur
den to see the great Carolina-Furman
foot ball game. The delegation was
about evenly divided, some being for
the Baptists and some for the univer-
sity. Some of Bamberg's people who

Mayors Court Monday.

Mayor Thomas's doses in police
court Monday morning brought few
shekels into the city treasury as all
patients given doses by the doctor
accepted them gracefully and paid
for the same with their ready cash
rather than their labors. All of those
haled before the mayor Monday for
violating city ordinances were ne
groes.
The first case called was that of
Sam Isaacs, charged with fighting
and drawing a knife on one of his
racial brethren; the case had been
continued from the week before. Sam
paid SIS instead of working for the
county 80 days. The next case tried
was that against Hagar Rivers, wo-
man, for alleged fighting and dis
orderly conduct. Whatever Hagar
had done or hadn't done, the evidence
indicated that she was somewhat in
the right, and her sentence was sus-
pended. Lessie Holman, another wo-
man, also tried in the fighting and
disorderly conduct case, was fined IS
or sentenced to 80 days imprison-
ment. Willie Punches appeared to be
bad actor, brought up for fighting,
disorderly conduct and mistreating
his wife. His sentence included a
fine of $50 or 39-6ay period of SER
vice on the gang. This concluded the
exercises of the day.
