Bamberg is growing right along and will continue to grow. I City taxes are now due and payable at the city clerk and treasurer's office. The levy this year is / : twelve mills. The cotton mill here is only running five days a week now. This short time is made necessary by the high price of cotton and the low price of goods. There will be preaching at the Presbyterian church next Sunday morning and evening. Morning ser-| vices at 11:30 and in the evening atI 7:30. The public cordially invited. G. Frank Bamberg will receive another car load of horses and mules this week. If you need stock, see him. He carries the largest lot of live stock and vehicles in this section. See the new ad. of C. H. Dorsett, the real estate man, in this issue. He will be at the Denmark Hotel next Saturday, the 11th, and will be glad to show the lots to prospective purchasers. As the Seaboard Air Line/Railway has offered a reward of $500 for the capture of the parties who wrecked their trains near Denmark, it seems only fair that the governor should offer an additional reward.

We trust our friend and his family are getting along nicely in their new home. The arrangement of the boxes in the post office has been changed, the change being made to make room for additonal boxes which will be put in shortly.

We have recently heard a rumo: that we can hardly believe, in fac it is considerably more than a rumor The report was to the effect that th< much talked of church at Livings ton, built with dispensary profits, an< about which there was so much dis cussion in the newspapers, was to b< accepted by the Methodist denomina tion, although a few months ag< when there was so much discussion it was stated by officials of the de nomination that the church mos positively would not be accepted a: a Methodist church. We have learned that the schem< is now to move the church out of th< town of Livingston and erect it at th< site of the present church, a mile o: so out of town. We have no op portunity of verifying the report, bu our information comes from an au thentic source. We can hardly credii it, however, and would be glad i: those in authority would at onc< deny it publicly, in case it is not true Farmers' Union Meeting. There will be a meeting of th< Farmers' Union of Bamberg count} in the court house at Bamberg ot Wednesday, December 15th, ai eleven o'clock. A full attendance it requested. D. P. SMITH, President.

S3 I Livingston are glad to know that she received her diploma at Lander college, Greenwood, S. C., Tuesday, No- B * ' vember the thirtieth. She finished ?3 ^ the A. L. B. course in three years. We are glad to have her among us *5* again. Mrs. Dave Felder and Miss m .

Civic League. a At the October meeting of the #A 1 Civic League the election of officers M for the ensuing year was held. To - the regret of all, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, who has been most Hairing in her efforts to promote the civic growth of the town as president of the league, resigned her position. The election then resulted a follows: j Mrs. W. P. Jones, president; Mrs. r G. Move Dickinson, vice-president; . Mrs. J. E. Felder, treasurer; Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Jr., recording secretary; - Mrs. G. P. Harmon, corresponding - secretary; Mrs. D. F. Hooton, auditor. Mrs. Jones, feeling that she j could not accept the office of presi, dent, agreen to act in this position until the meeting in January, when j another president will be elected. The league, believing that the / hope of the town rests in the education of the children along this line, j proposes the organization of a junior civic league in the graded school as r soon as necessary information concerning an organization of this kind is received by the corresponding secretary. The children of the colored ' 3"J fed , graueu SUI1UU1 Will axon uc Uigaui^u into a similar league and taught to assist in the work of making Bamberg a perfectly clean, healthful, and beautiful town. 1 The street commissioner, Mr. J. ' M. Grimes, has been petitioned to ' have the street crossing in front of the Fitting School building put into t good order, the water from some fc1 flowing well making a very wet, I J sloppy place of crossing. Doubtless L J this will soon be attended to. rj 1 Bound Over to Court. 11 The first arrest in Bamberg for . violation of the prohibition law came 1 . last Saturday night, when William Zeigler, a negro who lives in the Clear Pond section, a few miles from town. Zeigler was arrested on Main I street shortly after the arrival of the train from Augusta, which arrives I here at 6.30. He "had a grip which I contained eight quarts of liquor. rj * Zeigler's story was that a man 1 > whom he did not know had given ? him the grip to hold, and that the 5 whiskey was not his. He was put in 5 the guard house, where he remained . until Tuesday, when a preliminary ? was held before Magistrate H. D. > Free. The result was that Zeigler > was bound over to court in the sum L of $1,000. He gave the required 1 bond, Mr. L. M. Ayer being his ' bondsman. The whiskey was bought in Aiken from the dispensary there, it appearing to be the hahit of negroes from this county to go up there to buy their whiskey since the dispensaries , were closed in this county. This ^ practice will no doubt receive very n t much of a check now, as the trains 11 are closely watched. | 8 ? The Voting Contests.
