Quite True.

People talk hard times, but there
is in this community quarter of a
million dollars that is lying idle. The
owners don't need it. 1t is surplus
money laid away for a rainy day
in the two local banks, draw
ing five per cent. In addition to this,
there is at least another hundred
thousand loaned out by private in
dividuals at s per cent. and more.
There is also great quantity of mon
ey, held in small lots, that is either
kept in secret places in the homes or
carried in pocketbooks. And much
of the apparent "hard times" is oc-
casioned by this idle money that is
kept out of circulation. If every dol
lar in this community should be plac-
ed in the banks tomorrow and thus
be made to work, conditions would
improve in forty-eight hours.-Foun-

NJ. 4. Bamberg Hall
is Being Remodeled

Workmen have begun the job of re-
pairing and remodeling the Mary
Ann Bamberg hall at Carlisle school.
This building, a nice frame structure,
had been occupied by the boys as a
dormitory. Last fall fire Quilted it
completely, and while the fire depart
ment did splendid work that night
and practically confined the blaze to
the upper story, still by reason of
water damage and breakage, the
building was rendered absolutely un-
fit for further use as it stood.
There was some trouble experience
ed in obtaining satisfactory adjust
ment with the Insurance company,
and this delayed matters no little.
However, this feature has been en-
tirely cleared up, and the work will
20 forward rapidly to it's completion.
The second story will have to be
completely rebuilt anew and consid-
erable repairing and remodeling done
throughout the building. The build
ing will be ready for use before the
opening of another school session,
however, and when finished this time
Mary Ann Bamberg hall will be a
commodious and modern home for
any or all of the students who should
be assigned rooms therein.

Winthrop Daughters Meet.

The Winthrop Daughters met at

day. A large and enthusiastic crowd
was present and most delightful
afternoon was enjoyed. During the

Hogs and Cattle Are
Sold Cooperatiuely

There is a movement on foot to
organize the farmers into Coop
erative Cotton Marketing association.
This is all right; something which
should have been in operation years
ago when We could make cotton at
will. 1t will help now.
The farmers of Bamberg county
have learned to grow something else
besides cotton. This has been made
possible by the production of pea
nuts and velvet beans in great quan-
titles.
The farmers around Denmark have
caught the cooperative marketing fe-
yer and have really enjoyed some
of it's benefits. A carload of hogs
was shipped from Denmark few
days ago. This car was loaded with
hogs furnished by J. D. Turner, ST..
C. P. Guess, J. 3. Guess, Jr., and
others. Five carloads of hogs have
been shipped from Denmark within
the last two months. A couple Of
carloads of cattle have been shipped
from Denmark within this same Pc
riod. There is a large quantity of
surplus cattle and hogs in our coun-
ty and they can easily be turned into
money through this cooperative
method by the farmers at great ben
eft to all of the cooperators.
Let this spirit of cooperation
among the farmers continue to grow
and spread until there will be in ev-
cry nook and corner of our beloved
county the spirit of cooperation, as
this is the only method by which we
can ever hope to beat the boil wee
vii and get back on the road to pros
perity once more.
There is to be grown in this coun-
ty algreat quantity of truck, such as
watermelons, cucumbers, beans, to-
matoes, cantaloupes, etc. To be able
to dispose of these crops at profit
to the farmers, there should be CO.
operative marketing association to
handle not only cotton but all other
products of the farm. Cooperative
marketing is the remedy and this can
be accomplished through the aid and
direction of the bankers, farmers and
other business men cooperating

LUxURIEs TAX GOES TO SENATE
House Does Some Work.-Worthless
Check Bill Goes With it.

Columbia-Fe 13.-After taking
recess from their labors for the
weekend, members of the house
of representatives at last buckled
down and advanced a large number
of bills on the house calendar, the
most important of which were the
measures providing for a tax on lux
uries and strengthening the law pro-
.hibiting the giving Of worthless
checks. These measures were sent
to the senate by comfortable majori-
ties and the house plainly demon
strated that it had no desire to fur
ther debate them.
E. P. Hughes, chairman of the
ways and means committee, stated
that the general appropriation bill
would be introduced in the house
some time tomorrow. The bill is be-
ing written now. The introduction
of the bill always predicts prepara-
tion for the end of the general as
sembly.
The estimate tonight is that the
legislature will adjourn sine die on
the night of March 4, unless some
thing unforeseen happens. The bill
should 20 to the senate this week and
it is now estimated the upper body
will not occupy more than two weeks
in committee hearings and debate on

Liquor Raid Was
StagedLast Saturday

One of the most extended whiskey
raids ever engaged in around Bam-
berg was conducted here last Satur-
day afternoon, but scarcely any Ii
quor was captured. Much drunken
ness and evidence of considerab Bile
drinking has been noticeab BILE in the
city recently and city council receiv-
ed numerous complaints from citizens
and frequent reports that places in
town were indulging in the illegal
traffic.
The raid was carefully planned and
quietly conducted from the beginning
of the plans until the end of the raid,
and consequently came as very sud-
den and unexpected news to the en-
tire populace. 1t was Systematically
carried out, each raiding party being
armed with search warrants proper
ly drawn up for the occasion. The
entire council, including the mayor,
and a number of private citizens join
ed in the hunt; every care and pre-
caution was taken; every degree of
secrecy was maintained to the last,
and every known means was employ
ed to locate the stuff, only such plac-
es as had been reported for selling
whiskey being entered. But that in
cluded no less than nine shops or
places scattered throughout the city,
in all of which thorough searches
were made.
The raiding squads were divided
into three men each, who were dele
gated to a certain place in town, and
in this way the affair was conducted
so that as nearly as possible all plac-
es were approached about the same
time. This, however, failed in one
or two instances, and it is thought
might have precluded as much sue
cess as might have otherwise been ac-
complished. .
In certain sections some evidence
of liquor handling was noted, it is
said, but it seems that the only Ii
quor actually discovered was about
three-fourths of quart bottle confis-
Gated in a Main street esta blishment.
There were some summonses to ap-
pear in court and one furnished bond,
but apparently the raid was not des-
tined to- produce very fruitful re-
suits toward dampening the ardor of
Bamberg liquor dealers, blindtigers
and bootleggers. Yet it cannot be
said that every reasonable effort was
not made and every energy bent to-
wards the right purpose.
It is a well known fact that liquor
is being continually and freely sold
in Bamberg, but to furnish the direct
proof is something else, and it seems
that other plans will have to be de-
vised to nab the offenders.
