Con1monPleasCourt
Conuenes Nou. 9th

At a recent meeting of the BAN
berg Bar association, an agreement
was effected whereby the supreme
court was asked to postpone the ses-
sion of common pleas court from Oct.
% to Nov. 6, as this date was found
to conflict with the state fair and
some other activities. In accordance
with the wishes of the local bar, the
supreme court, by Justice A. C.
Watt, has issued an order calling an
extra session Of court for November
9Th, which will last for two weeks.
Attorney N. G. Evans, of Edge
field, has been named by Governor
Harvey as special judge to hold the
court, on account of physical dis
qualification of the regularly sche-
duled judge. Mr.. Evans is we'll
known in Bamberg. He made several
addresses here during the war on
patriotic subjects and impressed the
people here as very earnest and
able speaker. Mr.. Evans was also a
candidate for congress several years
ago against Congressman Byrnes.
In some way Justice Watts made
the order for special term to read
for a term of, the courts of general
sessions and common pleas, but this
was an error, the clerk of court
states, as only civil term was sche-
duled to be held at this time, the
criminal court having already been
held, and another regular term of
criminal court being scheduled for
the early part of the new year.
The juries for the two weeks of
court will be drawn next week by the
jury commissioners.

Baptist Reuiual
Now Going On

Beginning last Sunday morning,
the annual revival of the Baptist
church was begun. The pastor, Rev.
O. B. Falls, is conducting the revival
and doing the preaching himself.
Sunday morning a special in
vitation was extended to the cadets
of Carlisle school, and the entire
student body was present. Although
the day was rainy, goodly congre-
cation was present, and much inter-
est was evinced in the services. The
pastor preached a very feeling evan
gelistic sermon.
Two services are being held daily
at 400 and 1880 p. m, and the
public is most cordially invited to at
tend all services.
Sunday evening the other congre-
cations of the city Joined the Bap-
lists in evening worship.
Services up to and including Tues
day afternoon partook of preparation
of church members for the revival.
Pastor Falls made an earnest plea for
all Cchistians to familiarlize them
selves with the Bible methods of in
ducing non-Christians to become
allied with the cause of Christ. The
services beginning Tuesday are
strictly evangelistic, and efforts are
being made to induce non-church
members to attend the services and
receive the blessings of the Lord.
Mr.. Falls is one of the leading
evange1ists of the state, as we'll as a
pastor. His services are much in
demand for revivals, and during the
past summer he has conducted no
less than seven meetings in this and
other states.

II. !. Brabham
Hall is Complete

Haynesworth and Lawton, con-
tractors Of Florence, have just com
pleted the construction of the H. J.
Braham hall at Carlisle school, and
the new dormitory is now ready for
occupancy. The building has been
completed at a cost Of $4,000, and
is one of the finest dormitories in
the state, and equips Carlisle second
to no school in these parts.
Various hindrances delayed COM
pletion of the dormitory, these OBJ
stacles being unavoidable. The build
ing has been complete for some days
with the exception of the heating
plants, which was installed the first
of this week.
The building contains fifty-odd
rooms, including several apartments
for professors. The rooms are
equipped with hot and cold water,
connecting baths, etc., and is in
every respect modern dormitory,
especially designed by LaFaye & La
Faye, architects of Columbia, for the
needs of this school. The building is
practically fireproof, and is equipped
with the latest fire escape devices.
The enrolment at Carlisle this
year, while considerably under the
enrolment of recent years, has been
steadily increasing since the open
ing of the school, and with the ad-
ditional equipment provided by the
new dormitory. Carlisle will doubt
less soop reach a normal enrolment.
The school has been seriously handi-
capped until this building was COM
pleted, as it lost two dormitories by
fire last winter.

Columbia High Wins
Ouer Carlisle Team
The State, SATURDAY..

The State, Saturday.
Establishing a near perfect defense
and boasting backfield with the
driving power to break through the
line for steady gains, Columbia high
school yesterday outplayed Carlisle
for four quarters, besting the fitting
school eleven by score of 13 to7.
The Columbia line, outweighed
several pounds to the man, was
largely the deciding factor in the bat
tie and time after time line man
broke through to spill Carlisle plays
almost before they had their birth.
On the offense the line also played
no small role and large portion of
Columbia's gains were attained on
line plunges. 1t is to better know
ledge Of the fundamentals of play
that the high school owes its victory
and this supremacy is such as to
make the Columbians a contending
factor of no small Importance in the
state football championship race.
Columbia back also showed consider
able speed in circling ends for gains
and with the improving of the timing
and interference as the season wears
on this too will develop as treat
not to be ignored.
Carlisle forte was the forward pass
and the majority of the fitting school
gains came by the overhead route,
only two or three of the passes at
tempted failing of completion. One
Of these however fell into the hands
Of Allen, Columbia end, in midfield
and almost-but not quite-resulted
in another touchdown for the Colum-
bans AS it was Allen eluded every
man with one exception and was
brought down on the 20 yard line.

and all enjoyed and were benefited
by the programme for the afternoon
subject "The city of Birmingham" I"
Rhe meeting opened by all standing
and repeating the Lords prayer.
Mrs. Burch read the fourteenth
chapter of St. Mark. She made a
most entertaining talk on the work
of the church in that city, about it's
amazing growth in wealth and num-
bers, from the founding of the first
poor little church in the year 1872 to
the present time, when they number
twenty-four.

suit in the uplifting Of this race.

atty, faith, hope and love of Miss
Belle Bennett. In the beginning of
her work to establish training
school for missionaries, she encount-
cred great opposition. Some churches
even refused to allow her to speak
in them or to take up. collections.
But she had many friends, Rev. Sam
Jones among them. He gave her
every help and the free use of his
tabernacle. Her life work was mis-
sions. For this cause she Travelled
the world over, Mexico, South Ameri-
ca, China, Japan, Korea, and the
countries of Europe. To tell it all in
a few short words: For the love of
Christ and her fellow man she gave
thirty-five years of her life, filled
to the fullest Of service, without one
cent Of pay.
The programme was concluded by
song, Miss Benefits favorite, "Oh
Love that Would not let Me Co."
