R. R. BROTHERHOODS. AND MACHINISTS TO
 GET AFTER ROADS
Join in Demand for Investigation of System of Making Rolling
 Stock Repairs.

Washington, D. C., March 25.-An- nouncement was made here today that five international labor organizations and the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor have joined with the International Association of Machinists in the complaint filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission requesting an investigation of railroad car and locomotive repair work.
 The original complaint. which was stated to be based on preliminary in formation, was filed January 8, 1921, by w. Jett Lauck, representing William H. Johnston, president of the Machinists. It charged that at least three-quarters of a million dollars were being unnecessar- fly added to the annual expenditures of the railroads of the country for car and locomotive repairs through diversion of work from railroad shops to private equipment companies.
 The employees allege that this move on the part of the railroads is one phase of the nationwide "open shop" campaign being Waged by the organized employ CTS of the country, as admitted by Pres ident Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Company in the New York building trust inquiry. Thus, thousands of union men in, railroad repair shops are beingf thrown out of work and greater employ ment furnished non-union men in pri- vate shops.
 At the same time, it IS charged, the public treasury was being further footed, through the government guarantee, by reason of the excessive charges and con- sequent abnormal profits of the private equipment companies, controlled by the same financial interests which dominate the railroads.
 The preliminary data upon which the petition was founded showed that the charges for car and locomotive work by private concerns were approximately three times the actual cost of identical work in the railroad company shops. Since the filing of the original complaint additional investigations have been made by the organizations interested and the employees now claim to be prepared to fully substantiate all the charges made.
 Interstate commerce inspectors visited the plants of the New Haven road here Tuesday. Railroad men thought that no general drive was being conducted against the road, but that the visit was only a routine affair.
 The inspectors ordered 16 engines out of service until repairs can be made. Just WIlen repairs CdIl De made IS nOC certain for the road has laid off nearly all its machinists.
 According to good authority only sev- en skilled nachinists are still at work in New Haven.
 The inspectors visited Cedar Hill and looked over the locomotive rolling stock very carefully. Then the men travelled to the shops near Spring street, and ac- cording to railroad men found many more bad engines there.
 A drive against locomotives, conducted handicapped the road badly. So many defective engines were ordered off the road that machines had to be borrowed from other roads to help out.

Ditch Will Save Washouts.

Cope, Nov. Al. Fisher Cleckley,
who had the building of the national
highway from a point on the Orange
burg-Bamberg road in front of F. E.
Cope's to the South Edisto river,
has finished this piece of work with
the exception of filling in at the con-
crete bridge where Saw branch cross
es the highway. This work will be
done in the next few days, it is stat
ed, and will be ready for the folks
from Bamberg when they attend the
Orangeburg county fair next week.
In addition to having this excellent
piece of roadway built, the county IS
digging a deep ditch on the north
side Of the road to carry off the wa
ter which passes through Cope and
the lands of Glenn w. Cope and Jas.
Simmons, thus saving the road from
washouts at a point below w. .. Ia
tum's and the swamp proper.
The ditch where the hill breaks on
into the swamp is from II to 15 feet
deep, and while insuring good
highway, will enhance the value OF
nearby lands.

Tr.iumphs Over Denmark.

By a scant margin Of one point a
goal kicked after touchdown, the
Bamberg high school foot ball team
'triumphed over Denmark high school
on the latter's gridiron last Friday,
the score being to g. The visitors
possibly slightly outweighed the home
boys but the difference was too small
to be noticeable, and the Bamberg
boys outplayed their opponents and
deserved the victory. The Bamberg
touchdown was made by George
Ducker playing half back; this was
scored in the second period of play,
and the goal was promptly kicked by
Red Price, thus winning the game.
Denmark negotiated its touchdown in
the second half but was denied a tie
game By failing to kick the goal. For
Denmark Matthews starred with some
pretty open field running, while the
Bamberg back field, composed OF
George Ducker at half, Caldwell
Jones at quarter, and Red Price at
full, made some long gains. Referee,

Holiday Friday.

The president having designated
Friday, November II, Armistice Day,
as a legal holiday, the postmasters
throughout the country have been
notified that they may observe that
day as holiday. Therefore the
Bamberg postofice will be closed part
of that day, and there will be no de-
livery by rural carriers. The general
delivery, stamp, parcel post, and
money order windows will be open
from $50 a. m. until 11:00 a. M,
and the stamp and parcel post win
dows will be open from $50 to 500
p. m. Rural route patrons can get
their mail at the postoffice by calling
at the R. F. D. window from 800 to
1000 a. m. There will be one de-
livery in town and the usual collec-
tions from the street mailing boxes.

RURAL ROUTE NO. 3.
Portion of Road in Very Bad Condi-
tion, it is Reported.

Attention is called to the fact that
portions of the road traversed by
rural route carrier No. 3, from the
Bamberg postoffice, is in very bad
condition. Under the rules of the
postofice department, the carrier is
not required to traverse roads which
are not in reasonably good repair,
and while the postmaster has taken
no action in regard to changing the
route of this carrier, the matter has
been suggested to the county road
authorities in the hope that the road
may soon be put into good repair.
This route serves all of the people
living in the Midway section and way
points, making a circuftous route
from Bamberg through Midway and
Back to Bamberg by the old Char
lesion and Augusta road. 1t is this
road which is giving the carrier
most trouble.
The matter of building good
road on this old highway is being
agitated, and it is probable that some
action may seen be taken looking to
this end. 1t is pointed out that
whereas formerly very few people
lived on this section of road, in re-
cent years the lands have been bought
up and developed highly, and this is
now one of the most prosperous and
thickly settled communities in the
county. Large sums of money have
been spent in developing the lands
along this road.

Much Local Interest.

There was much Bamberg interest
manifested in the recent annual
Carolina-Clemson foot ball game at
the state fair in Columbia, especially
from a university standpoint. Bunk
McGee, from East Orange, N. j., who
played a star tackle for Carolina, has
visited in Bamberg where he has
numerous friends and is nephew OF
Mrs. G.. Frank Bamberg, and his rela-
tives here were instrumental in Sc
curing his attendance as a student at
the state university this session. In
addition to this one of BAN berg S
most charming girls, Miss Mary
Frances Walker, student of Colum-
bia college, was honored by being Sc
lected and serving as Carolina spon-
sor for the big athletic classic of the
state Institutions The Carolina team
is always known as the Gamecocks
and consequently handsome cock is
always presented to the team to spur
them on to victory in this game OF
games for the states college boys,
and the beautiful bird on this occa-
sion was supplied by DR.. H. J. Stuck
ey, of Bamberg, and was exhibited
to the enormous crowd by his Caro-
lima custodian who made him fly
between the Clemson goal posts be-
fore each half of the game.

LOWER GRADES SUSPENDED.
Presence of Diphtheria Prompts
School Authorities to Action.

The trustees and authorities of the
local public school have decided that
it would be wise to suspend classes
for all the lower grades during the
present week due to the threat of
diphtheria which has developed on
two of the pupils in the yougner
classes.
The disease is unusually contagious
particularly anon gsmaller children,
and it is best that every precaution
be taken to prevent it from spreading
and becoming epidemic. There is no
serious apprehension, however, as to
any further trouble, as the disease
has been quickly detected and the
fight against it started in time. There
has been nothing alarming in connec-
ton with the two cases reported and
with the modern and improved treat
ment for diphtheria and the proper
precautions taken it is generally pos
sible to reduce the number Of attacks
to a minimum and also the serious re-
suits from those affected. All grades
from the first through the fifth are
remaining at home for the present
week, and it is confidently expected
that exercises in full for them will be
resumed the coming Monday morning.
1t is also probable that Armistice
day, Friday, November 18th, will be
a holiday for the entire school. The
five grades concerned include a corps
of six teachers, Misses Galphin, Ca
son, McCants, Seawright, Connor
and Martin.
The school authorities request the
cooperation of all parents, who are
asked to keep their children at home
a few days until the danger of conta-
gion is passed.

Returns From European Trip.

Robert E. Lee, who was in BAN
berg several months a year or two
ago engaged in reindexing the county
records in the clerk of courts office
is in town for few days looking up
some records. Mr.. Lee, since he left
Bamberg, has spent several months
at his old home in England, and has
also visited in France. He recently
returned to America.
Mr.. Lee says that there is no ap'
pearance of hard times in England
There appears to be plenty of money
there, and there is not the financial
depression that America is 60
ing through. The cost Of living is
much higher there, he says, but it
does not seem to be worrying the
people.

FORMER CITIZEN DEAD.
J. Thomas Folk Fell From Wagon
and Head Was Crushed.

A former BAN berg county citizen,
J. Thomas Folk, and a man widely
connected in this community, lost
his life last week in a very peculiar
and pathetic manner. Mr.. Folk for
merly lived in the Clear Pond section
of this county, but some years ago
moved to Estill. His body was found
along the road between Estill and
Furman, his head badly crushed, and
at first it was rumored that probably
foul play had been done; but after a
careful investigation the conclusion
was reached that Mr.. Folk fell from
his wagon in which he was driving
alone and the heavy wheel passed
across his head and crushed it. It
is said that previously the unfortu-
nate man had suffered from heart
trouble and this may have caused the
fall; his watch and money were f. und
upon his person when discovered
along the roadside by a negro.
Mr.. Folk was a middle aged man.
He had many relatives in Bamberg
county and was well and favorably
known here. The body was brought
by train to Denmark Friday morning
where it was met and conveyed by
hearse to the old family cemetery
near Clear Pond and there laid to
rest. He was brother to the late
G.. W. Folk, who died there less than
year ago. Mr.. Folk was conse-
Grated Christian, member of the
Baptist denomination, and the SER
vices at the grave were conducted by
the Rev. Geo. p White, pastor of the
Bamberg Baptist church. The de-
ceased is survived by four Children and
his second wife, who was Miss Smoak,
of this county, sister to Supervisor
W. B. Smoak.
