loud In his praise for all those indi-
viduals aud organizations who help
ed in any way at all toward the sue
cess of the relief work.
Wilmington has never had n winter
ike the last one" said the mayor and
| don't think we could have gotten
through at all If It had not been for
this united effort on the part OF the
established relief agencies and the
volunteer workers in enlisting the sup
port OF the thousan nds OF citizens. All
classes have had a share IN this effort
to tighten the burden OF those who
were in trouble, fraternal societies
churches, Sunday schools. local labor
unions, clubs and the individual citi-
ZcnS.
The city itself has contributed to
date over Sli ,000 for coal. sum over
tiv, times as much as was ever before
given. We hope things will pick up
now so the people can get 10 work
and earn some money. hope we Will
never be called on again to go through
winter like the last one"

listened To the pleas Of the afflicted

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROADS.

Pursuant to recommendation Of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads paral-
lei with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows in the
roads. It is against the law to al
low plows to damage the roads,
andj it is an unnecessary prac-
tice.' The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to prosecute anybody, bur
I must insist that this practice be
stopped Immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re-
spect, and there should be no neces-
sity to bring action against anybody.
Full notice is, being given before l
take such action.
W. sMOAK,
Supervisor.

RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Bamberg who suffers
backache, headaches or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Bamberg mans twice-told story. It
is confirmed testimony, that no
Bamberg resident can doubt.
James A. Mitchell, R. F. D. mail
carrier, Calhoun St., says: "The
jarring of driving caused the weak
ness and pains I suffered with my
back. Doan's Kidney Pills brought
me relief in a short while and I nev-
er lost a chance to say good word
for them"
FOUR YEARS LATER Mr.. Mitch
ell said: "Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me of disordered kidneys and
my cure is permanent"

Wierd Happenings.

A Newark, N. j., woman has found
a new reason for getting a divorce.
She got it, too, which should make all
devotees. of the royal game more care
full. Her testimony was to. the ef-
feet that hubby played so much golf,
so often, that he hadn't time to be a
husband or provider. It's an old say
ing of golfers, eff business interefres
with golf, give up business" This;
particular golfer found his wife in
terfered with his game, and so she got
rid of him! .......
But this was nothing to the sad
case of a Des Moines lady who had
husband who proved to be a
woman, yet one so overbearing and
strong that she held her "wife" in
terror for a year and half before
the poor deluded lady caused her
:'husband' to be arrested.
The wife should have gone to Vas
sar. Statistics from the great wom-
ems college show that Vassarites,
during the last ten years are an inch
and a half taller, two inches larger
around, and with bigger hands and
feet, all due to physical culture.

1S-YEARyOLD BOY DROWNS.
Body Entangled Under Water at
Sunday School Picnic.

Aiken, June 22.-Henry Bernice
Snipes, the eighteen-year-old son
of Lee Snipes, was drowned at Punk
ett's Pond this morning. The Bap-
tist Sunday school was holding its
annual picnic at this pond and young
Snipes was one of those who first
went in bathing. The young man
was diving and it is supposed struck
his face and head on a snag, was
knocked insensible and was drowned.
In some way his body became en-
tangled, and more than an hour
elapsed before it was recovered. After
the body was recovered it was rush
ed to the Aiken hospital and every
effort made to restore life, but it was
too late. The funeral will take
place at Clearwater church tomor-

Loan Hsures the
Financing of Crop

Kentuckians, Virginians and North
Carolinians working with the officials
of the South Carolina Tobacco Grow
ers Cooperative Association are
breaking all records in their cam
paign of fifty-two meetings this week,
and are covering the entire South
Carolina belt and oyerfiowing into
the border markets of North Caro-
lima.
Leading the campaign is George
A: Norwood, native South Carolinian
who, as president of the largest Co.
operative Marketing Association IN
America, headed the officials of sew
enty-fve thousand tobacco growers
last week when they secured loan
of S3O,O00,00O from the War Finance
Corporation in Washington. Thous-
ands of South Carolina farmers have
now heard how those thirty million
dollars will be applied to the pay
ments made to members of the To-
bacco Growers Association upon de-
livery of their tobacco.
Thousands more have heard from
C. E. Marvin, John Blanks, Reuben
Offutt and John Bull, members OF
the famous Burley Pool why five
thousand farmers have rushed into
the association since the organized
growers of Kentucky received their
second payments on deliveries of to-
bacco.
J. H. Quisenberry, leader of the
successful Sun Cured Tobacco Pool
of Virginia, has told at other crowded
mass meetings why the organized
growers of the sun cured tobacco, in
his state gained very large addi-
tional profit over those who failed
to Join the pool. Still other growers
have heard from Southall Farrar,
district agent of extension in Vir-
ginia, why 500 of the Virginia grow
ers have now Joined the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association.
It is freely predicted that contracts
from South Carolina which reached
headquarters of the association by
hundreds last week will arrive by
thousands tp the few days that re-
main before the markets open.
Official announcement that no con-
tracts will be signed for this year
after July 10, gives the tobacco farm
ers of South Carolina who are still
outside of the association only rev
more days to join.
