COMMISSIONERS ELECTED.
City Council Acts in Accord With the
Expressed Wish of Citizens.

At meeting Of the Bamberg city
council Tuesday, the following gen
tlemen were elected commissioners
of public works of the city of Bam-
berg: G. Moye Dickinson, E. C.
Hays, and G. W. Rentz, Sr.
The newly elected commissioners
Immediately accepted the Office and
were sworn in. The commission as
sumed charge of the waterWorks and
power plant at once.
This election was held as the re-
suit of the meeting of citizens on
Wednesday afternoon of last week,
at which the power and water plant
of the city was discussed at consid-
erable length. The question of
whether the plant should be contin-
ued under the management Of the
city council or turned over to COM
mission was brought up by the coun-
cil The suggestion of abolishing the
office of commission of public works
met with vehement protest on the
part of a number of citizens, and it
was decided to ask that city council
provide for an election to name new
commissioners, all of the old COM
missioners having resigned some
months ago.
After consulting with the city at
torney, it was ascertained that the
duty of filling unexpired terms of
commissioners of public works is
vested in the city council, and con-
sequently the meeting of council was
called for the election, which result
ed as above.
The public utilities Of Bamberg
have been for the past several months
operated by the council. When the
commissioners resigned, meeting
of citizens was called to nominate
new commissioners, but no one would
consent to serve. A committee was
appointed to confer with the citizens
and nominate commissioners for the
consideration of the council. After
considerable effort the committee
gave it up as a hopeless task and
quit. Since that time the city works
have been operated by the city coun-
Gil. Inasmuch as under the. law the
council could not operate the plant
and make the improvements called
for in the recent election, the coun-
Gil asked for the repeal of this law,
which would give the council author
ity to make these improvements. The
mass meeting was called for last
Wednesday to decide this matter. The
meeting decided on the continuation
of the commission form of operation
of the plant.

Oh, Sir Walter!

In an English high school the
question was asked: What do you
know about the Introduction of to-
bacco in England?"
The answer was: Tobacco was in
troduced into England by Sir Walter
Raleigh, who said, BE of good cheer,
for we have this day lighted such a
fame in England, as, by Gods grace,
shall never be extinguished.'

WILL REDUCE ACREAGE.
Hamberg Farmers Will Plant Little
Cotton This Season.

A meeting of cotton farmers. bank
ers and business men was held at the
court house Tuesday morning, at
which there was a representative
crowd present. The object of the
meeting, as stated by Miss Lois En-
vim, field secretary of the South Caro-
lima Cotton association, was to Sc
cure the sentiment of the farmers OF
this county in regard to the VIDE
spread movement to reduce cotton
acreage.
The meeting was presided over by
C. w. Rentz, chairman OF the Bam-
berg branch of the association, and
talks were called for from those pres
ent. In response quite a number of
gentlemen expressed their views
upon the subject.
1t was the general concensus of
opinion that every farmer of the
county can conscientiously sign the
pledge. for the reason that as a gen.
eral thing the acreage in this county
will be less than the minimum called
for in the pledge. The cotton farm
ers generally are asked to plant not
exceeding one-third of the total acre
age cultivated in all crops in 1920.
Capt J. B. Guess stated that in the
Denmark section six to seven acres
to the plow would be planted in cot
ton. ]. P. O'Quinn stated that about
five acres would be the average in
his section, while others from other
sections gave about the sam aver
ages. One gentleman stated that he
would plant five acres to three plows.
Miss Erwin impressed upon the
farmers, in behalf of the cotton Or
ganization, the Importance of cotton
reduction as the only salvation of the
cotton industry. She read statistics
to show that there is enough cotton
on hand now to last for two years
if no more is grown. The prosperity
of the south depends absolutely upon
the present action of the farmers to
control their principal world COM
modify, she said.
The resolution to adopt the reduc-
ton plan as outlined by the Mem
phis meeting was unanimously pass
ed. It was also also planned to have
committees canvas the county and get
every farmer to sign the pledge.
On motion Of C. F. Rizer it was
agreed to petition congress to pass
a law prohibiting the sale of cotton
on New York or New Orleans ex-
changes unless it is shown that they
have the spot cotton.
A nominating committee was ap-
pointed and asked to report st the
next meeting of the association which
is scheduled for Monday, February
{. It is planned at this time 10 nave
reports from the committees on the
acreage reduction pledges.
Says Miss Erwin: with the boil
weevils in our midst and probable
carry-over of nine millions bales into
next year, it would be foolish to
plant more than five or six acres to
the plow for this season. By agree
ing to plant only one-third of the cul-
tivated acreage in cotton, the acreage
will be reduced approximately fifty
per cent. for the entire cotton belt.
Every farmer owes it to himself and
to his cause to sign this acreage re-
duction pledge at once and mail IN
to Chairman G. w. Rentz at Bam-
berg"

Georges Smile is Not
In Evidence As He
Puts On Speed

Manhassett, N. Y, June 25.-Geor'
ges Carpenter waded into two of his
sparring partners and lambasteo
them for five rounds this afternoon.
His smile was absent and he actually
ar peared to be working seriously,
TIE workout was private and was
witnessed, beside his trainer, Mana
ger Deschamps and several members
of his party, by one or two who sneak
ed in, Indian fashion, through the
weeds and laid quietly under the barn.
Big Paul Journee, his broken nose
and black eyes hidden behind hugo
mask, came out first. His identity
was a puzzle until he started shadow
boxing and then his lazy style gave
him away. The mask appeared to give
Journee courage as he waded into the
challenger, swinging both arms.
Georges contented himself with swing
ing to the body. He hit Journee sew
eral times but there was no notice
able checking of his blows. They
were heavy enough, however, to
start Journee to pulling and he
rested while Chris Arnold, the Buff
falo lightweight, worked.
Spikes Gibbons in his palmiest
days was never more of a phantom
than Georges was with Chris. In
structed by Manager Deschamps to
go fast and punch hard Arnold did
his best. He has high speed and can
punch but Carpenters head bobbed
so fast and his shift was so quick
that the Buffalo lad was unable to
connect. The best he could do was to
find Carpenters ear with his left,
but this blow slid off and did not ap-
pear tohurt. After two rounds Chris
retired in favor of Journee, who after
attempting in vain to find the chal-
lenger with his left let Arnold come
back again. The latter worked two
more rounds, but was unable, as in
his first, to land, on Georges. When !
it was over and Deschamps was re-
moving Georges gloves, he patted |
him on the back and told him he was
the next worlds champion.
!'This workout may have revealed I
the secret of what Georges will do
when he meets Dempsey next ,Satur-
day: A defensive game and an at
