Allendale Wins Again.

The best game of the season came
about on Wednesday afternoon when
the Bamberg aggregation came over
for another drubbing. No attempts
will be made to prove an alibi for the
Bamberg team as The Bamberg Her.
aid is so good at this, as shown by the
write-up of the game played there
last week at which time the Allendale
team won by a score of to 8. At
the game here on Wednesday there
were several things worth mentioning
and they will be mentioned. One i'm
portant matter is that Laurens YOU
mans pitched one of the greatest
games of his career letting the visi-
tors down with four hits. Warren
proved himself worthy of the name
he has been given, lizard Luck" by
losing a beautifully pitched game. He
was relieved in the ninth by White
sides who let the locals win the game
by giving. Lanier the opportunity of
hitting one out in the infield far
enough to bring in the winning run.
And by the way this fellow Lanier
gets credit for winning the game and
deserves it. By long hit into right
field in the sixth inning he brought
in two runs thus making, with the
one brought in the ninth by his trusty
stick total of three runs, which
were sufficient to win as the Bamberg
crew had only been able to get two.
At last but by no means least the
game was featured by having in the
lineup of the local aggregation, Tom
Mcmillan, late of the Charleston S.
A. L. team, at present prominent at
tcrney of Charleston and member of
the. house of representatives from
Charleston county. Tom got two clean
hits and made several brilliant catch
es in left fie1d.-Allendale Citizen.

NEW TRIAL; FINE DOUBLED.
Defendants in City Court Charged
With Violation Liquor Law.

Monday morning Mayor LaVerne
Thomas tried a number Of cases, pass
ing out liberal fines, or the equiva-
lent of days. Court is held regularly
now only on Monday morning, and
usually there is a number to answer
to various charges.
Alex HERS was handed out sent
ence of $500 for drunk and disord-
erly conduct.
Jasper >Kearse, for the same offense
forfeited a bond of $1,000.
Adell Brabham, a negress, charg-
ed with fighting and disorderly con-
duct, was given fine of $500.
Two interesting cases were those
of George Wilson and Carrie Jackson,
who were charged with violation of
the city liquor ordinance. The two
defendants were tried last week by
Mayor Protein NJ. G. Cooner, who
gave each a fine of SIS. A new trial
was asked and granted by Mr..
Cooner and the cases were tried
again last Monday morning before
Mayor Thomas.
Chief Moody testified that he visit
ed the home of Wilson and found
quantity of huckleberries in tub
and that he was told the berries were
being made into wine. The testimony
of the chief was not challenged, but
Wilson's attorney argued that the
written charge against his client was
storing alcoholic liquid and that he
could not have been guilty of storing
before the liquid was made; that the
city ordinance did not have the seal
affixed, according to state law, at the
time the offence was alleged to have
been committed; that the city ordi-
nance was in conflict with the state
law, inasmuch as there is state law
permitting the making of not ex-
ceeding five gallons of wine for home
consumption, and that this law has
not been repealed.
The Jackson case was also tried
last week, and a new trial granted.
This case involved practically the
same points as the Wilson case.
In rendering his decision in the
two cases, Mayor Thomas said that
the points raised were, in his opinion,
mere technicalities, and that he
would fine each of the parties $4,000,
with the alternative of serving thirty
days. Notice of appeal to the higher
court was given, and bond furnished
until the case is heard.

THE COUNTY AGENT.
Report of Activities of Demonstration
Work for June.

Henry S. Johnson, of Aiken, dis
trict agent of the farm demonstration
work, has submitted the following re-
port to the legislative delegation from
Bamberg county of the work of the
county farm demonstration agent,
John D. Brandon, for the month of
June:
II am sure you will be interested
in this brief report OF. the work of
your county agent, John D. Brandon,
for the month of June. Mr.. Brandon
was away on annual leave one week
so that this report will simply be
brief digest of his weekly reports for
the three weeks period in which he
was on active duty.
During this time Mr.. Brandon
made 81 visits to men and three Wis
it's to boys, and travelled 404 miles in
the interest of demonstration work.
Assistance was given at two meetings
which were attended by 125 people.
Three articles relative to local agri-
cultural problems were published in
the local papers. 155 bulletins on
boil weevil control were mailed to in
dividual farmers.
"Mr. Brandon reports that he was
able to be of real service in the mat
ter of grading and packing cucumbers
and in handling watermelons for dis
ease and in the matter of other truck
crops.
Zone moving picture was shown at
Bamberg and Denmark and informa-
ton thus given as to the use of CAL
cium arsenate for boil weevil control.
The large attendance of farmers is
an evidence of interest in this ques-
ton.
"Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the month was the splendid con-
troll work in the hog cholera outbreak
around Lees. There have been seven
outbreaks in Bamberg county so far
this year, and in each case Mr.. Bran
don has been able to check the out
break. At Lees, Mr.. Brandon inocu-
lated 313 hogs for 35 farmers and
thus saved farmers in the county a
great loss.
t'I have given only a brief report
but perhaps it will serve to keep you
posted as to the work of this county
officer, your county agent"

Weevils and Moss in Stored Grain.

AS a result of recent inquiries l
am releasing the. following article
for the benefit Oh all parties con-
cerned:
Considerable damage is done to
stored grains by grain weevils and
moths attacking rye, wheat, corn,
peas, etc. Control measures are easy
and inexpensive where the grain is
stored in tight bins, rooms, cribs or
boxes. Fumigate with carbon-disul-
phide at the rate of one pound to 4O
bushels of grain if stored in air tight
receptacles and five to fifteen pounds
of carbon disulphide per each 1000
cubic feet of space, depending on the
tightness of the crib. Carbon-disul-
phide costs so cents per pound and
can be secured from your local drug
gist. It comes as liquid and when
released turns to a gas that is heaV-
ier than air; thus driving out the air
and to be effective all doors and
cracks must be closed.
It is explosive like gasoline and all
lights and fires should be carefully
guarded against. Livestock should
not be quartered in buildings where
fumigation is in progress. Carbon
disulphide is not poisonous.-J. D.
Rran4on. county agent.

BASE BALL
COLUMBIA TEAM COMING.
Sally League Leaders Play Bamberg
Here ON July %.

Arrangements have been perfected
for a game of base ball between the
Bamberg team and the Columbia
South Atlantic League team on
Thursday, July 2S. The manager OF
the local team has been in CORE
spondence for some days past with
the Columbia aggregation in an ef-
fort to book a game with the Sally
leaders, and on Monday last the &C
ceptance of the booking was received
from the Columbia manager.
The Columbia team had an open
date for July 2S, and a number OF
teams in the state was endeavoring
to secure an engagement. The Co.
lumbia manager wrote the Bamberg
manager that the pep and progress
siveness of the local organization was
attractive and formed the deciding
point for accepting the Bamberg en-
gagement.
The Columbia team is leading all
the clubs of the South Atlantic
league. Up to Monday the Columbia
club had won 81 games and lost %,
the nearest competitor for the Sally
pennant being Charleston with Al
games won to 80 lost. Columbia
seems almost certain to win the
league championship again this year.
This is the third big game sched-
uled in Bamberg within the past year.
Last summer the Bamberg club play
ed the Charleston South Atlantic
league team, but rain interfered
after few innings and the game had
to be called. In April of this year
the Rochester Internationals and the
Boston Americans played on the
Bamberg diamond.
1t is expected that the game here
on the 28th will bring the biggest
crowd ever seen at game in this
city. The low admission price OF SOC
and 75c insures big attendance.
The admission was fixed at this price
in order that everybody might see the
game. The game has been extensive
Iy advertised throughout several
counties adjoining Bamberg, and
hundreds of visitors from other Sec
tions are expected to come here to
see the big game.
Bamberg is getting it's team in
shape to give the visitors an interest
ing time, and while it is barely pos
sible that Bamberg will trim the Co.
lumb bia leaders, the visitors will leave
Bamberg knowing that this town has
a regular ball team.

The. Bobbed-hair Girls.

When the cave mans eldest daugh-
ter declined to have her nose bored
for the tribal ring, she probably was
rushed to the river for the water
cure, if the members of the whole
household were not all actually plac-
ed on the stone blacklist by her faith
er's business associates.
The girl who escaped from the
hoopskirt, the maiden who insisted
on squeezing out of tight bodice, the
Turkish woman who uncovered her
face, the Chinese girl who a few
years back fought to grow up with
her feet comfortable unbound, and
the girl who is now earning her own
pocket money, and more all are
looking down toward Hartford, Conn.
Executives of a large company in
the Insurance City have just started
war against girls who choose to bob
their hair. although young wo-
man may have the best of references
and be eminently qualified for the
position says a business man, cher
bobbed head is against her."
For some time the bobbed head has
been coming into vogue. In some
factories and plants, around whirIng
wheels, girls see much to recommend
it. If the girl in Bohemia Haunted
it, the girl on the campus of women's
colleges adopted it in keeping with
her sensible athletics and her bloom
ers.
Men at one time wore their hair
long; at other times they wore wigs.
The prevailing style seems to be cop
led from the prize ring, but no Office
has issued orders for change.
The furry for bobbed hair among
girls may be a fad; it may be some
thing more; but the business men Of
Hartford will probably discover that
in either case the woman of today
decides these things for herself.

TO ERECT S. s. BUILDING.
Baptist Congregation Takes Steps to
Provide More Facilities.

Last Sunday the morning preach
ing hour at the Baptist church was
devoted to a discussion of the needs
for additional Sunday school facili-
ties of the Baptist church, and at the
conclusion of the exercises a short
business conference of the church
membership was held at which it
was decided to appoint a committee
to secure preliminary plans and esti-
mates on the cost of the erection of
modern Sunday school building. A
motion had previously been unani-
mously passed to undertake the work
of constructing such building. This
committee is to report back to the
church as soon as possible, when final
action will be taken on the matter.
During the morning worship hour
a number of the officers and workers
of the Sunday school gave expression
to the needs of more Sunday school
rooms. 1t was stated that the school
had long ago outgrown it's quarters
and that it was impossible to contin-
ue the work under favorable condi-
tions unless additional facilities are
provided.
At present, it was stated, it is nee
essary for five of the Sunday school
classes to hold their meetings in the
church auditorium; that the primary
department, which has quarters in
the old parsonage building, is cramp-
ed and crowded and there is no room
for needed expansion. In order to
relieve the situation it is necessary,
it was said, to provide some ten or
twelve additional class rooms.
No idea was given as to the ap-
proximate cost Of such improvements,
though the pastor expressed his views
of the needs by saying that it would
probably require modern two-story
Sunday school building to meet the
demands of the school. The COM
mittee is to secure estimates a once
and as soon as this is done it is ex-
pected that steps will be taken to fl
nance the project.

CAT AIDS A BOOZE HOUND.
Feline Smuggler's Ancestry Played
Part in Importing Scotch.

New Orleans.-The captain of a
ship had some Scotch in his cabin
and wanted to transfer it to thirsty
family in the best part of the city,
but customs officers barred the way.
Then a taxi was backed up against
the wharf. The steward received or
ders fro.a the bridge to produce the
ships cat in sack. The old man
hadn't got off the gangplank before
he was pounced upon by customs
man.
"Wotcha got in that sack?" he ask
ed.
"a cat," was the reply.
LETS have look at it, persisted
the law.
The bag was opened and out hop
ped Thomas and scuttled back
aboard. The captain chased after it.
Presently he appeared with the sack.
"Didya get him." asked the GUS
toms man.
''I sure did and he won't get away
again." was the reply.
Sorry to give you all that trouble
captain, but duty is duty, sir"
Don't mention it; admire you
for it. What the service wants is
more men like you," said the skip
per, as he climbed aboard the taxi
with his sack, which this time, in
stead of a cat, contained three bot
ties of Scotch.-New York World.
