Old Soldier Dies in Florida.

James Daniel Rowell, died at the
home of his son, J. H. Rowell, in
Florida last week, at the age of 81
years. Mr.. Rowell has been with his
son since last winter, when he went to
Micanopy, Fla, on visit. Mr.. Row
ell had lived in Bamberg county, in
the Govan community, practically all
of his life. He was a valiant soldier
of the Confederacy during the civil
war and took quite an interest in
the affairs of the U. C. V. organiza-
ton.
His wife preceded him to the grave
a year or so ago, and the old veteran
never fully recovered from the shock
her death caused him. Only one son,
J. H. Rowell, survives him. The fun

Enrolment on Opening Day in Excess
of Previous Yaars.

Branchville, Sept. IA. - The
Branchville schools opened Monday
morning with appropriate exercises.
The Rev. J. A. 'McGraw, pastor Of the
Methodist church, conducted the de-
votional exercises and also made a
short talk P. c. Dukes, secretary of
the board Of trustees, spoke immedi-
ately after Mr.. McGraw. In his re-
marks Mr.. Dukes stressed the fact
that the teachers were here for the
good of the community and that they
needed the support Of the children,
the parents and the public in general.
Sopt. E. D. Whisonant spoke briefly
of the plans for the coming year and
also read a stat of the financial
condition of the school. Mr.. Wilson
ant said that he was entering upon his

necessary to ask for the cooperation
and support of the parents. He urg-
ed the parents to make it 2 point to
spend some time in visiting the school
so as to familiarize themselves with
its workings.
A large number of patrons attend
ed the opening exercises and the en-
rollment went far in excess OF pre-
vious years. Every classroom is
crowded and in all probability, more
teachers will have to be added. The
first year of the high school has about
40 pupils this year, which is a good
MANY more than the total high school
enrolment three years ago.
The following teachers have been
employed for this year: E. D. Whiso-
nant, superintendent; D. W. Traxler,
principal; Miss Ruth Hays, Miss Sara
Covington, Miss Annie Woodward,

who resigned last year.

the Baptist church, was to have made
a talk, but was unavoidably detained.

Death Of E. d. Lemacks.

Walterboro, Sept. 22.-The sud-
den death of E. D. Lemacks was a
shock to the entire community when
the news of it spread Saturday af-
ternoon. Following few weeks Of
bad health Mr.. Lemacks had an at
tack of acute indigestion, which re-
suited in his sudden death. The fun
eral services were held at the resi-
dence Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
conducted by his pastor, the Rev. P.

Unique Programme
by Methodist Society

A stranger observing the passing
on the streets of Bamberg on Tues
day afternoon would surely have
thought all the old nanny cooks had
gone north; white ladies appeared
from all directions laden with buc-
kets, pans and baskets, all Of which
contained not dinner, but sandwiches.
He would also have noticed that all
roads led to the Methodist church,
and the ladies were not cooks, but
members of the missionary society.
Inside the church the ladies became
school girls, who marched to their
places two by two to music furnished
by Mrs. F.'M. Moye.
School opened with roll call, prayer
and the singing of hymn. The diff
ferent classes proceeded to study the
missionary vine, all it's fruits, roots,
limbs and leaves. The classes in
botany, history, geography and arith-
metic were all large and well behav-
ed. They knew their lessons perfect
ly. The class in elocution contained
only one member, Mrs. James Burch,
who rendered most effectively a lit
tie selection entitled "Tis not the
church, but YOU" Two other inter-
esting readings were given, one about
mission schools by Mrs. Lewis and
the other on tithing by Mrs. Roy Coo
ner.
An old fashioned spelling match
was next. The captains, Mrs. ]. j.
Cleekley and Mrs.'E O. Kirsch. The
participants in this contest shone
brilliantly as long as the words were
English, but when Mrs. Guess the
president-teacher, began to give out
names from Africa, Mexico, China
and Japan, these bright lights began
to splutter, twinkle and even go out
without a struggle. The champion
was MrF> F. B. Mccrackin.
You may be sure there was consid-
erable amusement derived from the
mistakes and misconduct Of the pp-I
pills in this class.
A recess was next given and all
pupils, good, bad, dull or bright, were
allowed to enjoy lunch Of varied
and delightful sandwiches and fruit
punch. At the conclusion of recess
the president, Mrs. Guess, called the
society to order and gave such an
able and earnest talk that all pres
ent were again transformed from
school girls to ardent missionary
workers. The meeting concluded
with another hymn and a beautiful
prayer by Miss Bessie Lee Black. May.
we all be present, at the regular
meeting next month.-Contributed.

Says Population is
More than 5000

The 1920 United States census
credited Bamberg city with a popu-
lation of 2,210 A great many of our
citizens, who have lived in Bamberg
for many years or all Of their lives,
felt satisfied that these figures did
not do the town justice but nothing
was definitely done to bring the mat
ter to the proper authorities, and the
matter stands where it was. Bam-
berg's official population is 2,210 and
at this figure it will stand until the
census of 1880 corrects it. The coun-
ty lacked a few people of having
enough population to retain our two
representative in the house of repre-
sentatives, and there will be but one
representative for the next ten years,
at least.
. T. keenan,, who had the contract
for numbering the houses of Bam-
berg, and placing the street signs, has
completed his work, with the excep-
tion of a few numbers which ran
short and which are now being made.
When all of the houses have been
numbered, the total number will be
671, including the places of business
on Main street and on other streets
Of the town.
MIR. Keenan, says that he has had
great deal of experience in census
matters, and has taken census in
many places, including both small
towns and large cities, and that from
his experience in such matters he is
positive that the population of Bam-
berg is between 5000 and 5000. The
average of persons to the house, he
says, will practically always run five
to the house, and with this average
Bamberg's population is 1885, but
this figure would be reduced after de-
Quoting the numbers placed on places
of business in which there are no
residents.
While it is quite useless to "cry
over split milk" it might be well to
say that if Bamberg had been credit
ed with 5000 people the last census,
this county would doubtless have re-
tanned her two representatives in the
house.

Carlisle Began New
Session Yesterday

Carlisle school held its opening ex-
ercises in the chapel yesterday morn
ing at II o'clock, with satisfactory
student enrolment present. Quite
a few cadets have not yet arrived, but
are expected today and tomorrow,
and it is believed that the total en-
rollment will equal or surpass that of
last year.
Rev. Peter Stokes conducted the
chapel exercises, selecting for the
morning lesson a portion of the 18th
Psalm, from which he aptly and ap-
propriately delivered practical talk
on obedience to laws and rules.
Col. Duncan and Rev. o. B. Falls
also made short talks, after which
registration took place.
The new H. J. Brabham hall is as
yet unfinished, but reports indicate
that it will be ready for use in two
weekyor so. The cadets are being
comfortably housed for the present
in Guilds hall and in the Mary Ann
Bamberg hall. The latter will be
used for the school infrmary when
the cadets move into their new home.
Foot ball practice started last
Wednesday with about twenty-five
men. A number of the old men are
back and some promising new mater
ial make a good team assured.

Restored ia Service

Patrons of the Bamberg postoffice,
as we'll as the travelling public, are
better satisfied now. The early morn
ing trains, Nos. 9 and 10, are back
on the road again after vacation of
one week, having been discontinued
on the tenth of this month and re-
stored on the 18th.
The inconvenience caused by the
temporary discontinuance of these
trains was acute. The people had
come to depend on these trains for
their mail almost entirely, and the
service since former Postmaster
knight had this mail service inaugur-
ated has been so splendid at the Bam-
berg postoffice, that the folks felt all
wrong when they failed to get their
mail early in the morning. No. 9
brought the bulk of the days mail to
Bamberg, while both trains were used
extensively by those going to either
Augusta, Charleston or Columbia.
These trains, along with a number
of others over the Southern system.
were discontinued temporarily on ac-
count of the shortage of fuel and the
railroad strike. Inasmuch as both
the railroad and coal strikes are now
about settled, the road felt safe in
restoring the service, for which it has
the sincere thanks of the people Of
this section.

Tou)n and COUNTY

The U. D. C. chapter will meet

day, the 21st. All members are urg-
ed to be present.
The Friday Afternoon Book club
will hold it's first fall meeting with
Mrs. G. F. Bamberg, Friday, Septem-

members are urged to be present.
George Irby Rentz, we'll known and
widely related in this county, was
nominated in the second primary as
representative from Orangeburg
county, receiving most flattering
vote.
Now that the primary is over, let
everybody forget politics and go to
work. If this section is to "eeme
back" it will take hard work, econo-
my. and united effort on the part of
us all.
Another touch of winter is being
felt this week. The cool weather ar
rived Sunday. Coats are found to be
very comfortable in the early morn
ing, and light covering at night is
quite acceRtable.
G. L. Weissinger, of Blackville, was
nominated as representative from
Barnwell county in the second prl-
mary, over Solomon Blatt. Mr.. We1s~
singer is a brother of Mrs. H. C. Folk,
of this city, and is we'll known here.
The fine weather of the past few
weeks has caused the cotton crop in
this county to be very largely har-
vested. The yield will be larger than
last year, but even at that the proS
duction will not be anything like
fifty per cent of normal.
A carrier pigeon fell in the yard Of
George B. Kearse in the Olar section
Friday afternoon and died during
the night. An aluminium band was
around the leg of the bird bearing the
inscription pal 1872 Al 22." A
brass band was around the other leg
and on this was inscribed the mum
Der 346. There was nothing else
about the pigeon to tablish identii-
cation.
