BANK REOPENS DOORS.
Branchville Institution Resumes Bus
mess After Short Close.

After being closed since November
5, the Bank of Branchville opened it's
doors again last Wednesday for the
resumption of business. A satisfac-
tory agreement was reached between
the bank, it's creditors and its deposi-
tors, whereby it is believed that the
institution will not again meet with
embarrassing circumstances. All par
ties concerned cooperated for the best
interest of the institution.
The agreement carries with it a
provision that at the end Of the first
year depositors will be paid one-third
if conditions warrant; at the end of
the second year another third, and
a. final third at the conclusion OF
three years. This VIII so tighten the
financial burden of the institution
that it is believed it will work out to
the satisfaction and safety of all
depositors, and at the same save the
institution from it's present financial
embarrassment.

A marriage of interest to their
Bamberg county friends occurred on
Sunday, when Miss Matte May Gar
rett, of near Olar in this county, and
William E. Hutto, progressive and
we'll known young farmer Of this Sec
ton, were united by Probate Judge
J. J. Brabham, Jr., at his home In
this city.
The affair was kept secret until
the day of the ceremony, and there
fore the marriage was quite a sur
prise to the friends of the particl-
pants. The bride is young lady OF
splendid family and enjoys a wide
popularity. The groom has always
been a Bamberg county boy where he
is we'll liked. He served his country
gallantly in the famous goth division
which played such havoc with the
Hindenburg line, returning home af-
ter the war with an enviable record
as a soldier.
The happy young couple will make
their home for the present on the
place Of Mr.. Hutto near Govan, where
he is farming.

Capture 96 Quarts
fLiquor Thursday

One of the biggest liquor hauls ev-
er made in Bamberg was accomplish
ed last Thursday morning early by
Chief of Police H. w. Moody. Some
body's Christmas booze was headed
in this direction, but, alas, it's dead
soldier now.
The chief had evidently been given
a tip by somebody. At any rate, the
whiskey in question was brought into
Bamberg in a Nash roadster auto
mobile and was spotted by Chief
Moody about five o'clock Thursday
morning. No offenders we're captur-
ed and the owner or owners OF the
whiskey are officially unknown, so
that probably no arrests will be made
in connection with the somewhat
mysterious affair. The seizure oc-
Cured in the southern part of the
city near the home of A. l. Dempsey,
and consisted of 96 quarts of very
fine Haig & Haig Scotch whiskey. 1t
was all in quart bottles contained IN
crocus bags, six bottles to the bag.
The sheriff and Mayor Thomas
were Immediately notified and were
on the scene in few minutes to take
charge of the confiscation and any
situation that might arise. It was de-
died altogether by the city, and the
died altogether by he city, and the
precious fluid was carried to the
home of the mayor until definite ac-
ton could be taken as to it's final dis
position
The city council was accordingly
hurriedly called into session that
morning and an ordinance or reso-
luton passed directing that this
Scotch product be done away with at
once, and special committee was ap-
pointed authorized and clothed with
full power to do the work of destruc-
ton. This committee consisted or
four gentlemen.
The market value of the goods seiz-
ed would approximate $4,000 even
in these hard times, with scarcity
of money and Christmas fast ap-
preaching, too 1t is said that all the
bottles were broken and all the whls-
kew poured on the ground in the rear
of Sheriff Rays home on Washington
street in this city Thursday afternoon.
1t seems like a mighty big lot of
mighty good liquor, if there is such
thing, has been put to waste, with
nobody in the hands of the law to
answer for any criminal offence
