The GOyan Club.

The Govan Girls Home Demon
stration club held it's regular meet
ing December, 5th, at the home OF
Mrs. J. B. Browning, we planned a
party for the club, which was to be
held purposely for our parents and
teachers. The first thing we did was
to prepare for our refreshments
which were chocolate fudge with nuts,
candied orange peel, and salted pea
nuts. The hostesses were the officers
of the club, which are Gussie Sea-
brook, Marguerite Seabrook, and
Ethel Kittrell. They ushered in the
guests as they arrived, when all the
guests and club members were as
sembled in the parlor, which was
artistica1ly decorated in pink and
white crepe paper. The club then
held their regular meeting. The
meetingwas called to order, roll
called, and minutes Of former
melting read after that several
songs were sung by the club
members. After which we had a con-
test called a college tale. Everybody
enjoyed it very much. Then games
were played until four thirty. After
that refreshments were served by
Marguerite Seabrook, Evelyn Kdtt-
rell. and Louise Kennedy. Then we
adjourned, everybody declaring that
they had heartily enjoyed them
selves. The next meeting will be held
in January. ETHEL KITTRELL,

Clever Forgery Was
Effected Saturday

AS a result of a clever forgery last
Saturday, the Cash Dry Goods COM
pany is minus $4,000. The forgery
did not become known until dis
covered by the First National Bank a
couple of days later.
A rather we'll dressed young man
came into the Cash Dry Goods COM
pany Saturday night and asked that
a check for $4,000, purported to have
been drawn by a we'll known citizen
of Bamberg, be cashed for him. Col.
w. A. Klauber, president of the First
National and part owner of the Cash
Dry Goods company, was in the store
and Mr.. Morris asked him if the
check was good. Col. Klauber re-
piled, without close inspection of the
signature, that the gentleman whose
name appeared on the check, could
draw one for any amount and it
would be good.
Unfortunately, however, the gen
tleman had not drawn the check. His
name had been forged and the check
was worthless.

Bamberg Hi Girls Win.

Edgefeld, Dec. "a spirited game
of basketball was played here this
afternoon between the Bamberg high
school team and the Edgefeld high
school team. Mrs. Claude Lyon acted
as umpire and W. o. Tatum, Jr., re-
feree. The game was quick and
snappy throughout and was all the
more interesting because of the rec
ord the two opposing teams have
made for the past two years. The
Bamberg girls have not lost game
in the past two years and not until
this afternoon have the Edgefield
girls lost game, the score this after
noon being 81 to 20 in favor OF BAN
berg. The visiting girls arrived on
the early afternoon train and will re-
main until tomorrow as guests of the
home team. A delightful social func-
ton was given in their honor tonight

Reu. r. 4. Cottingham
Goes TO HartsDllle

Rev. R. A. Cottingham, pastor OF
the local colored Methodist church,
is preparing to move to Hartsville.
He was transferred from Bamberg to
Hartsville by the bishop at the re-
cent conference.
Rev. Cottingham has been pastor
of the church here for the past three
or four years. He is man OF much
ability and is popular not only among
his own people, for whom he is a
most earnest laborer, but among the
white people as we'll.
It is a matter of much regret to
his friends, white and colored, that
he is leaving the city, and he and his
family will carry the best wishes OF
many acquaintances here to their
new home.

DR.. J. Walter Daniel, new pastor
of Trinity Methodist church, is ex-
pected to arrive in the city today with
his family, driving through the coun-
try from Sumter in his car Announce
ment is made that DR.. Daniel will
preach at Trinity church next Sunday
morning.
DR.. Daniel comes to Bamberg from
Trinity church, Sumter, which he has
been serving for the past several
years. Previous to this pastorate, DR..
Daniel served as presiding elder for
some years. He easily ranks as one of
the leading preachers of any denomi-
nation in South Carolina, and the
local church is indeed fortunate in
securing a preacher Of such signal
attainments and ability.
Sunday evening welcome service
will be held at the local Methodist
church, at which the Baptist and
Presbyterian congregations will join
the Methodists in extending to the
new pastor a welcome to the city.
The programme for this service had
not been completed as The Herald
went to press, but this service will
take the place Of the regular evening
service, and there will be no services
at either of the other churches of the
city Sunday evening. The public is
cordially invited to attend this SER
vice.
DR.. Daniel, while never having
served this pastorate, is quite well
known to a large circle of friends in
Bamberg.

Methodists Regret
Loss of Mr.. Cantey

Sunday Rev. S. o. Cantey, the be-
loved pastor of Trinity Methodist
church for the past three years, con-
Quoted his farewell services in BAN
berg before going to his new pastor
ate at Hartsville. Mr.. Cantey's pastor
ate ended in Bamberg with the pre-
vious Sunday, but on invitation he
remained here and preached Sunday
morning and evening, as DR.. Daniel
the new pastor, would not arrive un-
til the present week.
At the close of the Sunday school
services Sunday morning, Miss
Creighton read resolutions regrettlng
the removal of Mr.. Cantey, and
strongly commencing him as pastor,
preacher and citizen to his new home.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the Sunday school Re-
solutions were also read on behalf of
Carlisle school regretting the leaV-
ing of Mr.. Cantey.
The Methodist pastor took occas-
ion Sunday morning to review the
progress of the church during the
past few years. He said that he was
very sorry to leave Bamberg, and
that the people here would never be
FORGOTTEN. His three years in Bam-
berg had been pleasant in every re-
spect. He urged his church on to new
ideals of progress and stressed some
of the methods which might be en-
ployed.
Carlisle school requests publica-
tion of the following regarding Mr..
Cantey.
s'The announcement Of Rev. S. O..
Cantey's removal was a veritaDle
thunder-bolt from a clear sky. He
filed a two-fold mission on our cam
pus. viz, our beloved pastor and Bible
teacher, the latter being added to his
regular clerical duties when Rev. w.
J. Snyder was removed one year ago.
Words will not express the emotions
of our hearts. We must say that our
loyal and sympathetic friend was
taken from US at least one year be-
fore we expected such to take place
as a result of the Methodist itinerant
system (and for no other reason).
''The whole record of his minis
terial career in our midst is one OF
unselfish generosity. Always greet
ing every one with a laugh which IS
all his own, he won the love and ad-
miration of his congregation and
many of other denominations. His
policy must be (though we haven't
heard him say so) scatter sunshine =
"No one has ever displayed a
sweeter spirit than he even in the
face of disappointment and trials.
You will go long way before you
find a better pastor, and we feel our
loss keenly. However, we are taught
to respect authority and to bear
without murmur whatever is meted
out to us. In conclusion, we invoke
Gods richest blessings upon him and
his family as they go to the new held
of labor, Hartsville."
