Green, of Wilmington, N. C., a veteran subscriber to The j ' Herald, writes: "I continue to subacribe for The Herald, notwithstand ' fug it has been 21 years since my removal from Bamberg.

"I wish that every Methodist in the State could step upon the Carlisle campus and see what a really great plant they have here," says Head Master J. C. Guilds, of Carlisle ehool, in the Southern Christian Ad "T f V? Q1 r? ovoo ?UbflIC. x luma vuun vj vu . wwm bulge in surprise and their hearts would swell with just a touch of pride. ?" "We have been working on our plant all summer. The two original buildings, the Main building and the boys' dormitory, now known as the H. J. Brabham hall, have been remodeled, enlarged, and renovated throughout. The work is just about completed. They look like new buildings and the campus like a new place. ."On the campus there are now six splendid buildings used for school purposes, the C. F. Rizer gymnasium, and the home of the head master. We must not lose sight of ttie fact, however, that the church went into the field of education to teach the world, among other things, that the value of a school does not depend -- * upon the size of its campus, the number of its buildings or the size of its student body, but depends upon the influence that is brought to bear from day to day upon the life of the individual student. Carlisle strives first of all, therefore, to be a safe school. "Prospects are bright for a large . opening. We have room for fortyfive more boys than we had last year v and will he glad to hear from parents who are seeking a good school with prices in easy reach." Fairfax Man Killed. ? Reports were received here yesterday that Columbus Spradley, news butcher on a Charleston and Western Carolina train, had shot and killed a Western Union lineman, named Carver, who worked out of Fairfax, S. C. The shooting occurred at Yemasee. Spradley is in custody. Details of the affair could not be learned last night, but it seems some bad feeling had existed between the two men for some time.

Shot Fired When Arrest of Another is Attempted. B la Sing Edwards, a young negro, was v; shot and killed near Olar last Fri- B day night, when Edwards, with a o party of white men attempted the ar- ir rest of Henry Graham, another ne- g. gro. An inquest was held Saturday M by Coroner Zeigler, and the verdict h of the coroner's jury was that Ed- e1 wards had come to his death from a o pistol shot wound from parties to the si jury unknown. h Graham had been charged with G some offence, and Mr. Artie Lain, c] constable for Magistrate ~0. J. C. o Lain, was sent to arrest him. Mr. b Lain pressed into service Sing Ed- d; wards, a negro boy, who worked d about Mr. Lain's place. Several lc other parties later joined the con- G stable. They went to the house of c< Graham, and Edwards was sent in to S get Graham. Mr. Lain and the others C of the party were also in the house n at the time. Graham displayed a pis- ii tol, whereupon several shots were li fired, Edwards receiving one of the ti bullets. . t< It is not known whether the shot ti that killed Edwards was fired by Graham or not, but after the fray it was found that Graham had fired one shot from his pistol. Graham was arrested, and is now in jail. The c< inquest papers were forwarded to ei Governor Manning. ^ C] Mr. J. K. Breedin Here. w - ? - - - _ _ X w Mr. J. K. Breedin, superintendent F of the Anti-Saloon league of South Carolina, was in the city Sunday and made an address at the Baptist church at the morning service. Mr. p Breedin, in addition to his duties as ^ the head of the league in this State, 11 is editor of the Manning Herald, published at Manning. Mr. Breedin devoted his talk Sunday morning to a 1( brief review of the work of the Anti- ^ Saloon league, and told of the needs a for the continuance of the league. c He also told of the enforcement of ** the prohibition law throughout the a State, stating that the results of the p law had been very gratifying. Es- t( pecially in Charleston had wonders e been worked, he said. Mr. Breedin 0 was born and reared in Charleston, J1 and he said that if he had not known conditions before and after at first hand, it would be hard for him to believe the reports of the enforcement of prohibition in Charleston; but he ^ is thoroughly familiar with the situa- 0 tion and knows that the open sale of F whiskey is not tolerated. q Mr. Breedin highly complimented ^ the State administration and, the va- a rious county officials for their cooper- a ation in enforcing the law, stating n that, with very few exceptions, the e magistrates and sheriffs had perform- c< ed their full duty, although many of 11 them had previously expressed them- y selves as not being in sympathy with ^ the law. Mr. Breedin especially commended the cooperation on the part t( - h of Governor Manning in enrorcing t the law, stating that the governor c< had appointed, on his recommenda- ^ tion, constables who were not Manning men, and whom the ^governor s< knew were not his followers; but C( they, were men especially suited for y the work required and were given commissions by Governor Manning ^ without question. ^ He urged upon the people to be k vigilant, stating that the battle for ^ prohibition had not been won, and 11 would not be won as long as there is n a drop of whiskey sold in or shipped C( into South Carolina. ^ The Bamberg Cotton Market. - si u The following Bamberg dispatch ii was published in last Sunday's News v and Courier: v c; "The cotton market at Bamberg is b - ... - ? I j booming as never before at tnis eariy u date. Fifteen cents cotton is causing a the farmers to make extra efforts to o harvest their crop and rush it to mar- o ket and the buyers are kept busy as V is usual in October. About 200 bales n were sold here yesterday and the n average amount obtained per bale 1< was more than $80. Bamberg county will make at least 25 per cent, s more than last year, and if present fi prices hold througnout the season, c; farmers will make big money and P business will boom." b e Dr. Hartzog Very 111. v P The friends of Dr. L. A. Hartzog, ^ of Olar, will learn with regret of his serious illness. Dr. Hartzog was . stricken with appendicitis some days v ago and was carried to Columbia to be operated on at a hospital there. The operation was performed last Saturday. It was stated at the hospital that gangrene had set in, and l Monday noon Dr. Hartzog was in a J serious condition. Dr. Hartzog's ii brother Monday stated to a Bamberg C gentleman that at noon his brother o had not improved. The numerous v friends of the doctor all join in wish- a ing him a speedy recovery. Informa- p tion from Columbia Tuesday night s; stated that Dr. Hartzog was resting e: nicely. tl # Had a Busy Vacation. Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the V aptist church, returned to the city ist week, after enjoying a very busy ication. For the past five weeks the aptist pastor has been on his annual P< uting. Instead of taking the usual oi tethod of spending a vacation and oing to the mountains or seashore, J [r. McMillan elected to work. And $ e is still at it, but will wind up his yangelistic services the latter part Jf this week and return home to re- ^ ime his pastoral duties.

The rowd was estimated at from twelve > fifteen hundred persons?men, omen and children. The meeting as presided over by Col. John F. o oik, who introduced the candidates. n he audience was quite demonstra- n ve, and there were frequent out- 0 ursts of enthusiastic applause. S othing new developed at the meet- t( ig. After the speech-making came to a lose, the crowd assembled around a >ng improvised table at the side of | ^ tie court house, where a barbecue ^ nd picnic dinner was served. The hildren, of whom a large number rere present, were served dinner in ^ dvance, and 800 plates were preared before the crowd was invited ^ o the table. Many others were servd after the plates had been given ut. From one thousand to twelve o a undred people were served dinner, ; is estimated. o Tlie Herald's Representative. 11 Mr. W. H. Chandler, who will tour tie county for The Herald, will start g n his rounds on September first? 'riday. Our friends are earnestly re- , uested to be ready to settle with . Ir. Chandler when he calls. It costs g lot of money to travel these days, nd Mr. Chandler does not want to s lake but one call.

Our paper jobber informed us ^ ae other day of still another advance . * t< 1 the price of printing paper. It is ow worth five to five and one-halt . b ents per pound?the same paper ^ fiat cost us 2.65 per pound the last :me we bought, paper that we are till using. The house also informed s of a serious probability of not be- ^ lg able to get paper at all, and adised us to stock up now while we ^ an get it. The mills are six months 7 ehind with orders, and no more orers are being accepted until they atch up. Acting on this advice, we rdered a shipment to be made at nee?enough to last us about a year. Ve will have to borrow money to ^ leet tl^is bill, which is strictly cash, f, ot even a cash discount being al- f( >wed. 7 It is simply impossible for us to ^ end the paper to anyone except bona f, de paid-in-advance subscribers. We q annot wait a year after buying pa- s er to pay for it, therefore, we must ^ e paid in advance by our subscrib- q rs, as we have to buy paper in ad- p anee. Now, we don't wish to de- t rive anyone of The Herald, but Mr. \< Ihandlet will report to us who pa> s nd who don't pay, and there is noth- ^ ig left for us to do but cut off those ^ ho do not pay in advance. Please ^ emember this. 1 Infant Died in Cope Section. *3 o Cope, Aug. 28.?Burton Ashe, the 7 months old infant of Mr. and Mrs. s .

The growers and ship- c ers received unusually good prices t or this year, both f. o. b. and in the 1 larkets," says a Clemson College a ulletin issued last week. "As a re- f ult of these good prices there is c very indication of an increased creage for next year. There is also s movement on foot to perfect an or- t anization among all the growers for I ext year. "Blackville is the heaviest shiping point for canteloupes in the tate. A considerable amount of anteloupes have been shipped from t he following points: Barnwell, Es- ( ill, Williston, Ulmers, Govan and I ycamore. The total number of cars T hipped out of South Carolina this z eason was 75. ( "The green meated canteloupes c re grown in these parts. They are I ut up in flats holding 9, 12, 15 and 8 melons, and in crates holding 45 1 veraged sized melons or 36 of the r irger or Jumbo sized melons. The r rowers received an average of about c 5 cents for the flats and 75 cents for i 5 cents for the flats and 75 cents t Dr the crates f. o. b. z "In the earlier part of the season t 0 cents was paid for the flats and s 1 for the crates, f. o. b. 1 "The watermelon crop is shipped i: ut of the following points: Allenale, Fairfax, Barton, Estill, Fur- a lan, Goette, Lena, Lees, Luray, Gif- I 3rd, Appleton, Cave, Thomas, Kline, r renmie, Barnwell, Snelling, Dunbar- a on, Meyers Mill, Millettsville, Black- i ille, Elko, Wiiliston, Denmark, Bam- t erg, Govan, Olar, Ulmers, Sycamore, s Irunson, Seigling and Baldoc. t "This year nearly 1,400 cars were 1 hipped out of these points. The t rowers averaged between $75 and s 125 per car f. o. b. as against $45 c nd $50 for last year. There are 1,00 of the 20 to 25 pound melons, j 00 to 750 of 25 to 35, and 650 to e 00 of the 35 and 45 in one car." t m a A $100.00 Bale of Cotton. I t Saturday Mr. J. M. Grimes sold a ale of cotton on the local market or almost $100.000?lacking just orty cents of being "even money." E 'he bale weighed 664 pounds and _ d ras bought by Rentz & Felder for t fteen cents the pound, bringing Mr. ^ Irimes $99.60. Together with the eed, of which there were 32 1-3 _ ushels, the bale was worth $119. !ottonseed is now worth 60 cents ^ er bushel, making the seed from his monster bale wTorth $19.40. This 5 perhaps the biggest price that a ingle bale has sold -for in Bamberg ^ within the past seven or eight years. l number of years ago cotton was j ;orth?for a very little while? 7 1-2 cents a pound; this price be- ^ ig forced on account of the activity f Dan Sully. When the staple ^ eached this unheard-of figure, Sully uddenly went "busted," and cotton * rent down to its real value. How- j ver, the present price is the result f actual supply and demand, and ^ rom the present outlook, it is like- ' j to go a good deal higher. . Don't throw cold water on anther man's enthusiasm. It may h e misdirected, but even at that it 1: > better than lethargy. % MUCH IMPROVEMENT. arlisle Campus Now a Very Attrac- 1 tive Place. The work of making improvements nd additions to the Carlisle cam- ; us is about completed. The finish- j lg touches are now being put on the i ork, and within the next week or svo the debris will be cleared away, i Iverything will be in shape for the pening of the school next month. A 1 reat deal of work has been done n the main building and the H. J. Irabham hall. A total expenditure 1 f about $6,500 will have been made < rhen all the work is completed. The old Brabham hall has been re lade into a new building, bearing: ut slight resemblance to the old, : all the students knew in past years. light rooms have been added to thel i uilding by the erection of an adition to the rear of the hall. This ddition is similar to the portion of lie building fronting on Carlisle treet. The steeple has been torn way, and a very attractive portico tands in its place. The greatest mprovement to the appearance of he building was made on the side acing the campus. The old piazzas 7ere torn away, being replaced by an ntirely new arrangement. Large rick columns on- either side of the ampus entrance beautify the view rom the campus. In addition to the utside improvements, the whole of he inside of the building has been enovated and remodeled. Four new class rooms have been dded to the main building, these ooms being housed in an attractive ddition to, the rear of the structure, 'hese additional rooms will provide , long felt need in the school, and nil relieve the crowded condition of he main building. Sewerage has been installed hrmierhnn-ti tha ramnns. Sent.io anks were installed some months go. This improvement adds much o the sanitary condition of the variius buildings, and adds further proection to the health of the students. ?he health of Carlisle students has ilways been excellent, and will be urther safeguarded by the addition if a sewerage system. A heating plant is yet to be totalled in the main building. With he installation of this plant the imirovements will be completed. Tells of Visit to France. Bamberg people will read with inerest an account Mr. Carroll C. Ireen has given of a recent visit to France. Mr. Green is a son of Mr. r. A. Green, a former Bamberg citien now residing in Wilmington, N. 3. An interview with Mr. Green, re:ently published in the Wilmington Svening Dispatch follows: "Mr. Carroll C. Green, son of Mr. r. A. Green, proprietor of the Wilnington hotel, arrived in the city last tight from New York, where he reentlv landed from France after an nteresting trip to that country and hrough some of the European war ones. Mr. Green speaks most inerestingly of the scenes which he aw while on his way across the Atantic and also many things he saw n France. "Mr. Green sailed from New York .board the British liner Moorish 'rince, on July 13. The vessel caried a cargo of horses for the allied .rmies to La Pallice, France, where t landed July 25th. On passing hrough the war zone Mr. Green tates that the master of the vessel ook every possible precaution. The ights were extinguished and all of he life boats were swung over the ide for a hasty embarkation in case if being struck by a mine. "While about 36 hours out of La 'allice Mr. Green was fortunate enough to pass within a short disance of a French battleship fleet of ,bout 20 vessels. The Moorish 'rince was not stopped, but a numler of code signals were exchanged. Vhen about 15 miles out two scout .eroplanes hovered over the steamer. "On arriving in La Pallice harbor Lone of the crew of the steamer was Mowed to go ashore except the capain and the first mate. However, .Ir. Green states that he saw quite a :ood deal of the city's water front ,nd noticed in almost every instance yomen were doing the work that was ormerly done by the men who are tow in the trenches. "In sight of the wharf where the 'essel moored was a stockade where 1,000 German and Austrian prisonts were being detained by the French. The greatest vigilance was naintained over the vessel in order hat no one might leave. A detail if 25 French soldiers guarded the innk at all times and Mr. Green only ucceeded in walking about the dock .nd taking a swim in the Bay of Biscay, on which the city is located. "At night, when the city was quiet, Ir. Green states that heavy firing* in the front could be distinctly heard n La Pallice. "After discharging the cargo of torses the Moorish Prince cleared ight for New York, arriving in the letropolis about 12 days ago." - -J, -ViV'Wt'yr kV""-' ' .. STRIKE IS ORDERED. Unless Settlement is Reached Railroad Traffic Will Re Paralyzed Washington, Aug. 28.?Labor Day, \ Monday, September 4, is the date fixed for the strike in the tentative orders prepared by the railroad brotherhoods and carried home by the members of the committee of 640 when they left Washington yesterday. It was learned today that the brotherhood leaders decided negotiations here must end one way or another before Labor Day, and selected the holiday with a view to having two million or more workers in all lines of labor march in great demon strations in favor of the strikers' u cause. President Wilson tonight definite- 4 ly decided to go before congress tomorrow or Wednesday to recommend legislation aimed to avoid the threatened nation-wide strike or to stop it, if it comes before congress can act. He worked until late tonight on his message in which he will tell members of the senate and house the negotiations to date and lay before them a definite legislative programme. The strike order is brief. It is addressed to all members of the four brotherhoods, is signed by the various general chairmen and reads as follows: i "Sirs and Brothers: This is to advise that the vote of the employees ^ in train and engine service on the eight-hour day and time and one- ' half overtime proposition was overwhelmingly in favor of a strike. "Notwithstanding this your representatives have been unable to effect a satisfactory settlement, and a strike, under the laws of the respective organizations, becomes effective on September 4, 1916,' at 7 M a. m. : ^ "Impart this information, so those f interested will understand that they ( are to promptly obey."

The agency says that the Deutschland arrived on the afternoon of August 23 and anchored before the mouth of the Weser. All on board were well. The Deutschland, a German supersubmarine built for carrying merchandise, arrived at Baltimore from Bremen on July 9, with a cargo of dyestuffs and mails. Her arrival was hailed in Germany as the beginning of a regular submarine merchant service between the United States and Germany, which would be able to defy the British blockade. It was announced that she would be followed shortly by the Bremen, a sister ship. The Deutschland left Baltimore on her return journey tan-August 1, with a cargo of rubber and metal, and passed out the Virginia Capes on the night of August 2. MESSAGES $1 A WORD.
