Ouer 1000 Fed at
Big Barbecue Dime,

The feeding of two thousand per-
sons is not an easy task, and not fire.
quently successfully carried out by
inexperienced persons, yet on Tues
, day the committees Of the Farmers
Exchange Week fed more than this
number without a hitch.
Anticipating a large attendance on
opening day of the Farmers Ex-
change Week, the entertainment COM
mittee had secured, through dona-
tions, 21 pigs, two cows and several
goats for the big "cue" C. w. Fogle,
of Denmark, was engaged to super
intend the barbecuing Of the meat,
and there are over two Thousand per-
sons in Bamberg county today to tes-
tify to the fact that Mr.. Fogle is an
expert in this lipe. The meat was
cooked to turn and the large guam
tity of it did not prevent the fine,
| barbecue favor going into every
piece OF meat.
The committee estimates that be-
tween 1000 and $500 persons wetr
served. For four hours the hungry
hordes were served in the Farmers
warehouse, only sufficient number
| being admitted at time to proper
ly serve them. There was no crowd
ing nor jostling, everything was or.
derly, and everybody was in a fine
humor; the barbecue was carried of
with great honor to all those who
had a part in the arrangement, and
serving.
A committee Of ladies worked like
Trojans to serve the barbecue and
make the occasion success, and
they have the thanks of all for their
magnificent work along this line.
About fifty persons were admitted
to the serving table at time. They
formed in line, being served on the
cafeteria plan. The plates were first
given a helping of rice; next came
hash, to be followed with generous
supply of barbecued meat, then pic
kles, bread, etc. AS soon as the
plates were properly heaped full and
running over, the prospective diner,
already suffering anguish at the sight
of the delectables, would proceed out
of the way Of the rest, find spot
suitable for the occasion and enjoy
the repast in comfort and JOY.
The barbecue was a splendid sue,
cess in every way, and was credit
to everybody who had anything to do
with it.

DEATH OF MRS. QUICKER.
Mother of George Ducker Passed
Away Tuesday Afternoon.

The friends in Bamberg of George
Ducker and his mother, Mrs. Angeli-
ca Ducker, were deeply panied to
learn of the latter's death early Tues
day afternoon at the home of Mr..
Ducker on Main street here. Mr..
Ducker came to this country many
years ago from Greece, and upon his
return in 1911 to the old. country he
brought back to his adopted country
his mother, then at an advanced age,
to spend her remaining declining
years with him in :Bamberg. And
here she has been for the past ten
years.
At the time of her death, Mrs.
Quicker had reached the ripe old age
of 80 years. George, as he has been
affectionately called here for years,
is her only surviving child, and be-
tween the two there existed an un-
usually tender devotion right to the
last. This good old lady came from
the town of Thasos, Greece, and
though she lived here for ten years
she could not speak our language,
vet understood others who addressed
her in English. The deceased was
strictly home woman, venturlng on
the streets but seldom, especially in
later years, and being devoted to her
son and her God. Her denomination
not being represented by a church
here; and also with her slight knowl-
edge of English she had little incli-
nation to attend our religious SER
vices: yet she was a devout and con-
secrated member of her own Green
Orthodox church, and was buried on
| Wednesday afternoon in Charleston
with the services of that church con-
Quoted by Charleston Greek Ortho-
dox minister.
Mrs. Ducker's health had been fail
ing for quite a while, and in her ex-
treme age it was known that she was
gradually weakening; and that the
end could not be far away; yet her
death was none the less sad blow to
| those near and dear to her who sur
vive, and the sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereave0
| in this hour of sorrow.

OLAR STORE BURNS.
Dry Goods Department Lost i
Flames Wednesday Morning.

Olar, Nov. 23.-The dry goods de-
partment of J. o. Sanders & Sons,
merchants here, was completely de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour this
morning. The fire had full sway at
the time it was discovered, conse-
quently nothing was saved from this
store.
There was considerable excitement
due to the fact that the store on lire
was situated in the middle OF the
business block on west Railroad ave-
nue.. There was no other serious
damage done, however, as the flames
were confined to the one building.

OPPOSES. EVOLUTION.
Evangelist Says Colleges are Filled
With Teachers of False Theory.

Evangelist Says Colleges are Filled
With Teachers of False Theory.
A blow at modern evolution was
struck by Luke RAIDER, the well known
evangelist, in a message delivered at
the Casper Tabernacle, on Capitol av-
,enue, Sunday afternoon, says the At
lanta Journal. What caused the Ger
man army to march pitilessly across
Belgium and into the heart Of France,
spreading terror and. destruction?"
he asked. "The teaching of evolu-
ton. And what is the dictum of evo-
luton? Let the fittest survive If
my friends, the doctrine be correct,
the weakling should be put out of ex-
istence. The leaders of Germany
thought so; the kaiser spent forty
years in seeking to make his people
the fittest on earth-a nation of su-
permen.
"Strangely enough, nearly all our
American colleges are. honeycombed
with teachers of evolution, although
as far as can learn, no leading Am
erican scientist now credits that the
ory. Our doughboys did well in Eu-
rope, but they made one mistake in
that they did not finish the JOB by
grabbing the Heinie evolutionists in
our colleges and shipping them home.
"Opposing evolution, thank God,
is the Bible, which teaches that
Christ, the fittest of heaven, came to
die for and lift up the lowest on
earth"

NEEDED LEG1sLArtoN.

Many would like to know what has become of that legislation which has been so long urged and which came so near to being enacted at the last session ef congress-the budget bill. This was among the first on the list of things to be done at the present session, and as time goes on the demand becomes all the more stronger for getting the business of the government on a sound and sensible basis.
 There would have been a budget law in operation at the present time but for the action 0; President Wilson in .vetoing it just beforei the closing days of the ses- sion last spring. It was a measure that had been subjected to much debate and one which the country was looking for ward to. Because the president believed that the bill trespassed upon the rights of the chief executive it was refused his signature and there was not time enough in which to give consideration to and ts make such changes as he suggested, al though the lower house took it up and acted favorably upon it. Nevertheless the matter stands as 1t did then and thut far 1t doesn't appear 'thAt any specia efforts are being made to get it through l at this session 0e congress.
 At the short session of congress N il realized that there is always mora busi ness than can he attended to, that ap propriation bills must be taken care . and such other matters as ought not tt be subjected to any longer delay thai necessary. It seems only proper that tn A..l IflJ ,@Al those measures that should be expedited
 It Is true that it can wait, since tn
 country has been without its benefits fo
 a long period of time and is still doini
 business, but inasnach as it Is deeme
 wise to secure it's benefits the advisabilit
 of getting them ss soon as possible ough
 not to be overlooked. The bill is on which should require no extended con
 sideration in, view ok the attention ths
 has been given to it already.

 "On the west coast are Port Church i'll, the bays best port. and about a hundred miles to the south, Port Nell son. Both these ports are to be con nected by railroads with Winnipeg and the wheat and cattle country 10 the west. Sailing vessels ply Hudson Bay between July Is and October l. and steamers for a slightly longer pc riod. When the railroads increase the importance of the Hudson Bay ports 1t Is believed that ice-crushing ships will make possible the shipping of car goes between June 15 and November 1.

THE INDEMNITY.

According to the terms of the treaty of peace there are only three months left in which to decide definitely upon the in- demnity which Germany must pay. Thus far no agreement has been reached and while several different plans have Aeen advanced none has been actually decided upon. For that reason much importance is attached to the meeting in Paris at the present time of the premiefs since that among other matters cannot fail to he taken up for considers ton if not . decision.
 There has been a considerable period of time in which to determine the amount of damage done by Germany. That Ger many did more damage than it will ever be possible for 1t to pay for, especially in the 30 years which have been agreed upon = the time in which 1t must be paid, is probable but there is need of fix ing upon the amount to be demanded. That it would have been done before this had there been full agreement among the allies as to the attitude that should be taken toward Germany in this re- spect is probable, but inasmuch as there must be an agreement this would ap- pear to be as good a time as any for reaching it, for the good of themselves
 as we'll as making certain to Germany what it must do.
 France takes the view that Germany must be made to pay for the damage il , has done. England doesn't favor leniency 2 toward Germany except that it regard!
 it on the very edge of bankruptcy and considers that it Is preferable to exac
 a reasonable amount and get it than |, . demand an impossible sum and get moth ; ing. The fact that Germany has no
 lived up to the terms of the treaty ant s takes advantage of every opportunity t, E dodge it's promises hasn't served to hell : the situation any. It is such breakin; ' of treaty requirements that steeis Franc z. against Tightening the burden in any re Y spect. but it cannot fail to be realize $ by the premiers that inasmuch as som figure must be fixed and there has bek 2 a date set by themselves for fixing f ,. the responsibility of carrying out thei : requirements ought not to be overlooked
 Dallying will only add to the uneertaint
 in this as we'll as in other matters.

BETTY GOES TO THE CONCERT

Because the next number would be the Nut Cracker Suite of Tachaikow- sky. l put my arm around her and ex- plained how the scene takes place on Cifris'uIaa night and the little girl named MaiC. who had eaten too many dain- ties, dreams that the candits and cake and toys are dancing round the tree I told her the first would be the dance of Ihe Sugar Plum Fairy.
