POWER HOUSE DAMAGED.
Smokestack Falls With Disastrous
Result Quickly.

It is said that whenever a change
is made in the management of the
public utilities of Bamberg some
thing happens. LaVerne Thomas says
that when the town council had to
take over the management after the
former commissioners all resigned,
that the first thing to happen was one
of the wells to go dry the next day.
When the commissioners took over
the plant last week, everything was
getting along pretty we'll The first
thing that the new commissioners
started to do was to erect the new
smokestack, that had been bought
some weeks ago. G. B. Tavelle was
given the job, which is mans size
task, incidentally, because the stack
weighed no less thar 4,500 pounds.
This work was started Thursday.
However, on Friday morning about
1880 a pretty stiff puff of wind came
along and the old stack toppled over
without waiting to be taken down.
The crash of two tons Of iron tore
a great hole in the roof of the power
house, and instantly killed the plant.
Thus the new commissioners were
properly inducted into Office by the
usual something happening. The
new commissioners set about the task
of repairing the damage with vim
that certainly looked good to consum-
ers of current and water and by Sat-
urday noon the new stack was in
place, functioning beautifully. The
quick work was commented on favor
ably by everybody.
AS consequence of the damage to
the power plant, there was no elec-
trio current Friday or Friday night.
The falling stack mixed up the elec-
trio wires so that not even the day
current was available. Likewise
there was no water in town-from
the poWer plant-for almost two
days.
The town Of Bamberg is extremely
fortunate, though, in having secured
the three men who were elected last
week as commissioners of public
works. They are men who have the
interest Of the town at heart, and
every possible moment during the
breakdown was utilized in repairing
the damage.

RECEIVES DECORATION.
French Government Pays Honor to
Comdr. D. G. Copeland.

A few days ago former Lieut.. Com
mander D. Graham Copeland, of the
u. S. navy, received letter from the
United States navy department in
forming him that the French govern
ment had asked if the department
would approve of him being decorat-
ed for service done at Croix d'Hins,
France, during the war. The French
government did not know that Mr..
Copeland is now out of the U. S. ma
Wy. The navy department informed
Mr.. Copeland of it's approval and said
it would send the decoration as soon
as it was received.
The citation reads as follows:
"Chevalier of the Legion or Honor.
D. Graham Copeland, Lieut.. Comdr.,
naval constructor. Naval construc-
tor Of high efficiency. He directed
with consummate skill the work car
ried out at the Croix d'Hins post"
The order IS signed by the French
minister of war. The citation comes
to Mr.. Copeland as quite pleasant
surprise, as he had no. previous
knowledge of such intention on the
part of the French government.

The Bamberg members of the gen
eral assembly have been assigned tc
various committees as follows:
Senator Black-Chairman medical
affairs; Commerce and manufactures
police regulation.
Representative Kearse-Judiciary
Representative Riley-Ways and
means.
The Bamberg members were well
cared for in the committees. The
ways and means committee is the
most important in the house, and Mr..
Riley was given a place on this impor-
tant committee. Next in Importance
is the judiciary committee, on which
Mr.. Kearse was assigned. Senator
Black was likewise given important
committee assignments in the senate,

DIR. sTEEDLY SELLS HOSPITAL
Now Becomes Associated With Spar.
tanburg's New $3.50, 900 Concern.

The many relatives and friends in
this county of DR.. B. B. Steedly, OF
Spartanburg, will be interested in
the following Spartanburg dispatch
to the News and Courier of January
12:
The young Womans Christian asso-
citation of Spartanburg has purchased
the Steedly hospital on East Main
street, in this city, paying $4,000
for the property, which will be used
as the home and headquarters of that
association after March /.
The sale of the hospital, announced
this evening by DR.. B. B. Steedly,
owner of the property, means that DR..
Steedly will become associated with
the surgeons of the Spartanburg
County hospital, just being complet-
ed here at a cost of s350,000. The
Steedly hospital, built about six
years ago at cost of SIS, 900, on an
extensive lot on East Main street, has
been operated as private institution
since it's establishment.
For some time the Spartanburg Y.
w. G.. A. has contemplated the erec-
tion of an adequate building in the
city, but with the offering of the
Steedly hospital that plan was aban-
doned and the property said to be
admirably adapted for the use of the
association in many ways, was pur-
chased today.
The Spartanburg County hospital
will probably be opened March l.

RIGHT-OF-WAY TROUBLES.
Landowners Loath to Give Way fo1
Orangeburg-Bamberg Road.

Orangeburg county, the state of
South Carolina and the United States
government are trying to build mod
ern sand-clay road beteen this city
and the Bamberg county line. A
contractor is on the job and repre-
sentatives of the three political en-
titles interested are doing all that
they can to ma ke the job speedy and
endurable.
There are many sections in the
county which would gladly have fur
nished the right Of way to the coun-
ty if by so doing the road could have
been built in their direction. Yet,
we have heard the engineer in charge
say that objections by land owners,
chickering's as to rights Of way, dis
putes over moving fences a few feet,
and the like, are seriously delaying
the work.
There may be some cases where a
land owner has a right to extra COM
pensation from the county-we know
of some-but, in the main, most
farms are going to be so benefited
that their owners should gladly give
all necessary land to have the road
Strengthened out and made modern
and durable. We hope that the peo-
pie of the sections through which
this road is going wills cooperate to
the fullest with those who are en-
gagged in it's constructions

Methodist w. Nj. S.

The meetings of the Womans Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist
church, promise to be unusually good
this year, if the one held at Mrs.
Frank Bamberg's Tuesday afternoon
is a sample. About forty ladies were
present at this meeting Mesdames
Frank and Francis Bamberg received
at the door, and the members of the
society were ushered to the spacious
dining room where the meeting was
held. Mrs. Bamberg was both hos
tess and leader of the meeting. The
reports were first called for and a
number of very gratifying ones were
heard. The treasurer reported
S449.5O sent to the conference treas
urer in 1920. This did not include
any of the local work done. The
members reported about $500
worth of clothing and food sent to
needy ones during December. The
, social worker reported one little boy
fitted out with clothing that will en-
able him to go to school. The super
intendent of the junior society re-
ported $1,000 from the birthday par
ty held for Jesus during Christmas.
This was extra pledge for them. Af-
ter all the reports were heard the
programme was entered into.
The good old missionary hymn,
1.-THE kingdom is coming" was sung,
after which Mrs. Cantey prayed very
beautifully for the work in 1921. The
Bible lesson was "The breaking OF
the alabaster box. The leader read
this and made few very appropriate
remarks. Mrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr,
read next, "A lesson in the school of
sacrifice" which no doubt put many
of US to thinking. The story Of "the
woman who gave herself" beauti-
full story, was read by Mrs. Glenn
Cope. Mrs. E. o. Kirsch had pre-
pared a nice paper on the possibili-
ties Of service in 1921, but took stage
fright and asked Mrs. Moye Dickin-
son to read it for her. Both the SEN
timent of the paper and the render
ing Of it was good, and should re-
suit in some practical service. Yes,
it even now has resulted in some
practical service, for after Mrs. Folk
sang a beautiful selection, the pledg-
es for 1921 were made. They amount
ed to 1921, the biggest pledge we
have ever made at January meet
ing. This concluded our programme.
The hostess then served delight
full sweet salad and, coffee.
Mrs. Cantey is the leader for our
February meeting and the members
will surely be present, especially
since we had such a delightful meet
ing with Mrs. Bamberg.-Publicity
chairman.

The following resolutions were
adopted at the bar meeting Monday:

Bamberg Count Bar, is a high toned
Christian gentleman, of most excel
lent character, diligent student Of
the law, very thorough in his work,
and is of a pleasing personality, q
judicial temperament; has been q
member Of this bar for fifteen years.
He is an unusually successful practi-
toner, and is one of the foremost
members of the bar of this part OF the
state, and is in every way eminently
fitted for the high honor of an asso-
ciate justice Of the supreme court of
this state. Therefore,,
Be it resolved, by the bar of Bam-s
berg county, that Jesse F. Carter is
hereby unanimously endorsed for the
office of an associate justice Of the

NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER.
David Dyches Appears to Have Been
Victim of Accident.

David Dyches, a negro, was shot
and killed Friday near Olar, and
Monnie Warren has been charged
with the killing. Warren has been
arrested and is now in Jail. 1t ap,
pears from the testimony at the in.
quest, however, that the killing was
an accident.
The inquest was held by Magistrate
JEFF Gunnells, and the witnesses all
testified that Warren, who was in
the room with Dyches, got up and
went to the head of the bed and took
down q shotgun. He carried it with
him and sat down in front of the fire
place, when suddenly it was dis
charged. This seemed to scare the
negro and he hurriedly put the gun
back where he got it and ran away
There was no fuss or quarrel, &C.
cording to the witnesses. The load
of shot took effect in Dyches's right
eye, causing death.
Warren, who is in jail, says that
he did not do the killing, maintain
ing that it was another of the party
However, all of the witnesses were
unanimous in putting whatever blame
that is attached to the affair on him

quet, was appointed by the president.
Some other items Of importance
were discussed and passed upon. The
teacher of the class took occasion to
express her heartfelt thanks and ap-
probation of the gift at Christmas of
beautiful cameo broach. Just be-

feeling that we were privileged
class to be so happily entertained at
