Negro Foot Ball Game.

The Savannah Y. N. G. A. colored
team bested the Voohees school team
here Friday afternoon, the score be-
ing 12 to 0. The game was attended
by a fairly good crowd, mostly white
people. The game was not charace-
terized as a good one by fans who
know the game, it appearing to be a
rather tame affair compared with
most colored games. There was lack
ing, it was said. the pep that Is usual
with the colored folks when they go
out to play foot ball. Nevertheless
there were some good plays, which
we're rovndly app1auded. One Savan-
nah man CAPTURED the ball a few
wards from the west goal and got
avav from the crowd and carried the
nigstin clear to the other end of~the
foIS. Ee was downed Just as he
crossed the goal line. The run was
o~e Of the longest ever seen here,
about ninety yards. This player
wh-e> -2n,, g not known, created a
sensation o. r1erriment by zlgza5-
s;,~ :,>wn no aeld, pulling of what
might sp+l- he described as snake
dance or sor,ething Of the sort, but
the des;re7 result, reaching the goal
was affirmed.

Death of 3 Little Girl.

The angel Of death visited the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Copeland,
of the Ehrhardt community, on the
of the 23rd day Of November,
1922, and claimed their little daugn-
ter. Ida Freeman. All the attention
that loving help could render was
given her. but the Father needed her
for better work. Little Ida was born
May 7, 1916. She lived with her loved
ones six years, 6 months and 16 days.
and was loved by all who knew her.
She was bright and sweet and was
willing to make others happy. She
will be missed not only by her num-
erors relatives but her friends.
The funeral services were held IN
the Lutheran church by Rev. Hamhn
E+heredre, and the body was laid to
rest in the town cemetery.
Not gone from memory nor from love-
Put to our Fathers home above
Free from all sorrow, grief and PAIN
Our loss is Heavens Eternal gain.
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

CARLISLE BEATS
COLLEGE ELEVEN

In a rough and exciting game here
Wednesday afternoon the Carlisle
eleven triumphed over the football
team of the College of Charleston by
the score of 2S to Z. The Charleston
lads though considerably out
weighed, fought gamely and stub
bornly, and were not really defeat-
ed until worn down by the heavier
Carlisle team. Charleston started oy
kicking to Carlisle, which carried the
ball on successive plays to the vlsi-
tors 15-yard line. Here the Char
lesion line braced and Carlisle lost
the ball on downs.
Charleston punted and Carlisle
again brought the ball down the neld'
but found the line of their opponents
again holding firm when within strlk-
ing distance of the goal, and Large
dropped back to the 30-yard line and
kicked a beautiful field goal for the
onlv three points Of the first half. In
the second half the style OF play
changed to open work and many for-
ward passes were completed by both
teams. The most sensational play or
the game came in the fourth quarter
when Folk intercepted Charleston
forward pass on his 15-yard line and
dashed eighty-fve yards down the
field for a touchdown. Folk was easl-
" the star of the afternoon. His play
ing, both extensively and .defenslVely'
would have done credit to any college
PLAYER. With the score % to y
against them in the last PERIOD
Coach Won Kolnitz's team, however,
was not to be denied, and with the
ball in midfeld, a perfect pass was
worked from McGilivray to Badea
for fifty yards and well-earned
touchdown. The point was maze
after the touchdown and the game
ended accordingly.
For Charleston McGillivray and
and Badea Starred.
Officials: Referee, Van Meter

Magnificent Exhibit
of Poultry at Fair

Prominent among the many fine
exhibits at the fair stands the Poultry
exhibit with flying colors. Never In
the history of Bamberg county has
such a splendid aggregation of birds
been assembled under one roof and
with the excellent foundation stock
shown there Bamberg county bids
fair to become one of the largest
poultry producing counties of South
Carolina in the future Over 140 birds
were entered, making a big increase
over last year. Mr.. Mehrhof, state
poultry specialist, who judged the
show, commented on the excellence
of the birds in general. Judging from
the number of S. C. Rhode Island
reds shown, Bamberg county has
many splendid fiocks of this
popular breed with white rocks, bar
red rocks and S. G. white leghorns a
close second.
Prominent among the winners were
D. o. Hunter, and Mrs. A. w. Hun
ter. of Hunters Chapel; Walters and
Hartzog, Denmark; Mrs. Nora B
Crum, Denmark; E. L. Brickle, Cope;
J. w. Freeman, Bamberg, who won
best male and female in show on S. c.
white leghorns; E. D. Grant, Ehr,
hardt; J. E. Spann, Bamberg; Samuel
Guess, Denmark, and H. l.. Hinnant
Bamberg. The Sojourner Poultry
Farm, of Denmark, carried off first
honor on individual displays with an
excellent exhibit of leghorns and
Rhode Island reds of real quality.
The Judging was done on a strictly
standard basis and in no case was a
ribbon awarded when disqualified
tions were present. Mr.. Mehrhol
showed himself an excellent judge OF
birds by his decisions.
Many good exhibits Of rabbits
geese and turkeys we're also present.
Present in the main building, but
connected with the poultry depart
ment, was another exhibit Of genera!
interest to all farmers. This exhibit
showed the value Of home grown
grain for feed and gave number Of
formulas for mixing these feeds to
produce best results.

BQmberg Witnesses
First Snow Storm

a freakish turn in the weather
took place in Bamberg and the rest
of this section Of the country last
Sunday morning that proved to be
more Of a surprise to metereologists
than to anybody else, for the snow
storm which occurred was out Of joint.
It came unheralded and unforecasted,
and the weather men don't like for
weather conditions to cone about
unless they are duly and properly
foretold.
For three hours as beautiful a fall
Of snow was seen here as our Oldest
inhabitants can recall. Sunday morn
ing dawned rather cold and the tenn
perature rapidly fell. At few min
utes past eleven o'clock the kids and
some Of the grownups were perfectly
delighted to see a few flakes Of snow
drifting down. In few minutes they
were coming down as if January or
February had arrived. At noon the
flakes were thick and large, and had
the ground been cool enough to pre-
vent instant melting Bamberg would
have had a lovely mantel of whitein
short time But, unfortunately-or
fortunately as you view 1.-THE
ground was warm and never flake
succeeded in remaining in it's crystal
form more than a few seconds. At
two o'clock the snowstorm desisted.
Monday morning the weather cleared
up again and turned warm.
According to metereolegists this
was the first fall Of snow in this Sec
ton during November since Novenl-
Der 2Sth, thanksgiving day, 1912,
when a small snow intermixed with
sleet, covered the ground for two or
three days. The temperature Sunday
in Columbia was an average of SO de-
grees, the lowest for any day in
November in more than half CEN
tury.
A peculiar fact in regard to the
snowfall was that contrary to custom
the temperature did not fall any af-
ter the snow began, ranging around
40 in Bamberg all day. The snow ex-
tended as far as Charleston, where
snow is rarely seen even in real win
tor fina

The committee in charge OF the
free barbecue on Tuesday Of fair
week report that during that day no
less than 5000 dinners were served
at the fair grounds. No count was
kept of the dinners served, as this
was not possible, but the committee
used 5000 plates and this Indicated
the number of persons served. This
record was considerably above that
of last year when approximately
1000 persons we're served barbecue
dinner. Some OF the daily newspapers
reported that this barbecue was pre-
pared by an Augusta chef, but this
was an error. The cue was prepared
by C. w. Fogle, of Denmark, and S.
e. Neeley, Of Olar. Than these ex-
pert barbecue cooks, there are none
better in this wide, wide world. II
you think so, ask any one OF the
5000 who tasted Of the delicious
meat; they know.

Graded School Leads.

The Bamberg graded school Is oe-
ing roundly congratulated upon the
excellent record made here during
fair week. First, the graded school
was awarded the first prize for the
best booth at the fair; next it was
awarded first prize for the best foas
at the parade, and last, but not least
the high school team won the basket
ball game over St.. Matthews h1gn
school.
This was truly a splendid record,
achieving success in all lines OF en-
deavor during the fair week.
The booths were all good, and II
was a pity there were not enough
prizes to give them to all exhibitors.
The graded school booth was bower
Of loveliness and showed practically
all activities of the school. Both the
booth and the float represented a
world of work and taste.

Awake to Find
Home in Blaze

The family of Charles n. Hamlin
passed through narrowing expert
ence early Monday morning, when
they awoke to find their home mass
of flames with scarcely sufficient time
to get out in safety. Fortunately the
fire was discovered just in the nick
of time for the family to save their
lives, but to their great distress,
practically nothing could be saved
from the flames, which had reached
the ceiling overhead when some Of
the family was awakened.
The home occupied byMr. Hamlin's S
family is located on Broad street, just
west of the lot formerly occupied by
the Denbow tobacco warehouse, and
was the property of James A. Nit
chel.
The fire alarm sounded at four
thirty, Immediately upon discovery of
the fire, and large crowd Of specta-
tors and helpers hastily responded,
together with the fire department,
but nothing could be done to save the
house, as flames had entirely wrapped
the upper part Of the home before
anyone could get to the house.
Members of the family, upon see
ing the fire in the overhead ceiling,
hastily summoned others of the fami-
ly, and grasping only articles at hand
got out in safety. The entire house
hold effects, including practically all
clothing and other personal articles,
went up in the blaze, as after getting
out of the house it was not safe to
return. The fire department could
only play water on the fire to pre-
vent other buildings catching, es-
pecially the big Farmers warehouse,
which was only a few yards distant.
A stiff wind was blowing, but the
flames were confined to the one build
ing, and no other damage was done.
Mr.. Mitchell carried $1,000 in
surance on the dwelling, which moth
ing like covered his loss. Mr.. Hamlin
carried no insurance at all on the
household goods.

gramme, and proved to be most inter-
esting, affording splendid amusement
to both races.
The colored people Joined heartily
into the spirit of the fair and contrib
uted no little to the success of the
event. The Voorhees, school deserves
special mention for the excellent man.

Cotton nandMikweed
Cannot be Crossed
Editor Herald:

IQlIOl 11Cl dlu
At the fair met my good friend,
]. S. ]. Faust, of Denmark, who drew
from his pocket sample of cotton,
which he asked me to classify. At
first glance I told him it was tree
cotton, but when 1 felt it, l told him
it was milkweed fiber, and he said I
was the first person he had ever met
who correctly classified it. He has
made the milkweed cotton study
for some years. and has ha1 quite
correspondence with Luther Bur
bank, asking him if it were possible
to cross it with cotton, and Mr.. Bur-
bank writes him that it is impossible
to do it, they being too far apart,
which is correct. Plants or animals
not some kin will not cross, or if they
do the progeny will be males-bar-
rem hybrids. Faust reasons thus: That
milkweed is a sort Of wild cotton, the
kind that Cortez found the Indians
clothed in when he conquered Mexi-
co, the same cotton used by the
Peruvians when Pizaro captured the
Peruvians. In this he is wrong. Mexi-
co has long known the same sort OF
cotton that we have here, while In
Peru to this day both tree and bush
cotton grow wild there.
His idea is, that as the boil weevil
does not puncture the bolls or pods
of the milkweed, a cross between
milllweed and cotton would be wee
vil-proof.
But milkweed cotton and tree cot
ton have no spinning value because
the fiber is too smooth.
Then, there is no plant near Of
kin to cotton to make cross with 1t.
We read in botany that there are
something like 100 species of cotton
in the world: this is a grave error.
There are only two species Of cotton
the bush and tree sorts. They will
not cross, but cotton from any part
Of the world will cross with cotton
from any other part, l mean the bush
sorts. The many sorts of bush cot
ton are merely types or varieties, and
by planting them together year or
so, one will soon find that hybrid or
several hybrids have been formed.
Get any two sorts to bloom together
results will show.
Our book-writers should be more
careful. Take this from modern as
tronomy: Polaris is so far from the
earth, that even in the extremes OF
the earth in the revolution around
the sun, the extremes showing a dis
tance of 180, 100000 miles, are not
sufficient to make an angle from the
earth to Polaris We are also taught
that Zeta, the star in the bend OF the
handle OF the Great Dipper, or Ursa
Major, is two and one-half times as
far from us as is Polaris, yet Zeta
makes or seems to make complete
revolution around Polaris in less
than "a hours. We are also taught
that there are double suns. These
double stars are planets just like the
earth, for in the double star one is
always much smaller than the other.
The smaller star is moon just like
our moon. Some of the planets have
more than one moon, so they look
like three or even four stars near to-
gether.
Common sense and book-learnlng
were not born twins.
