The second annual field day of the Bamberg county schools was held here Thursday evening and Friday, and proved a great success in every particular. Owing to the unfavorable conditions in the early morning and throughout the forenoon the crowd was somewhat smaller than was expected to attend; but notwithstanding the unfavorable weather conditions, the large school building and yards were taxed to their capacity, with the representatives of the various schools of the county. At every part of the programme, the school spirit ran high and the different schools yells were heard on every side. At the high school declamation and recitation contest. Thursday evening, there were four schools represented by seven speakers?three boys and four girls, each high school being allowed to enter one boy and one girl. All these did great credit to their respective schools, and it was a difficult matter to judge just who had won the handsome gold medals. But 1 after some lengthy deliberation it I was decided that Miss Laura Kay, ofj Denmark school, had won the girls' j recitation medal and Samuel .Mace, of the Ehrhardt schpol, the boys' deciaimer's medal, with Miss Nannie Faust, of the Bamberg school, sec-1 ond for the recitation medal, and; Jan es Wiggins second for the boys. | In addition to the gold medal. Miss Ray was awarded the five dollars in gold given by the Peoples bank, of Bamberg, for the best recitation by a high school girl of any of the schools of the county. On Friday morning the schools of * ~ ocfomliloH o + tVlO crradod I tile L'UUill v awcuiuicu t* v, mv , schcol building, and after a most hearty welcome by Hon. B. D. Carter, the graded/school declamation; and recitation and other mental con-1 tests were entered into. In the audi- j torium the declamation and recita- i tion contests were held while in the I class rooms the other mental contests were held. In the declamation and recitation contest. Klugh Faust, of j the Bamberg school, won first place, and Louise Copeland, of the Ehr-' hardt school, won ^ie first place for the girls' contest. These pupils were 1 awarded handsome gold medals.

Death of Mrs. Mozelle Knopf. Fairfax, April 15.?This community was saddened Friday morning by the death of .Mrs. Mozelle Knopf, wife of Isaac Knopf, which occurred after a short illness. Airs. Knopf was one of the most beloved women of the community. She seemed not to have an enemy in the world and her death, when she had scarcely reached middle age, has brought deep sorrow to her many friends. Mrs. Knopf was a member of the Baptist church and was a zealous worker in the Sunday-school where she loved to go and carry her children. She was also a member of the Civic league, the Women's Aid so ciety, tlie Missionary society ana or the Eastern Star lodge of Fairfax. The funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon by the Rev. E. A. .McDowell, assisted by the Rev. D. B. Groseclose, at the Baptist church, the entire seating capacity of the building being filled with sorrowing relatives and friends. Burial took place at the Baptist cemetfry and was conducted by a deputation from the Eastern Star lodge, of Fairfax. .Mrs. Knopf is survived by her husband, three daughters and one son, the eldest being 14, and the youngest two years of age, and her mother, Mrs. Lancaster, of Fairfax, and one sister, Mrs. Bryan, of Fairfax, and six brothers, W. A. Lancaster, Chester Lancaster and Harry Lancaster, of Fairfax, and Frank Lancaster, of El Paso, Texas, and Cecil Lancaster and Loyal Lancaster, of Detroit, Mich. CURIOUS ANECDOTE. How XajxMeon Was Answered in Snow-swept Russia. As we chased across the Russian steppes in a snow storm on the heels of the grand duke's retreat, w^ thought of Xapoieon, says the Christial Herald. To think of Xapoieon was conventional, but we thought of him in this way: We marvelled how, in the winter?a Russian winter which we were now seeing 101* me first time?Napoleon was able to make the campaign to far-off -Moscow in days when automobiles and railroads did not exist! But, miles away from these snow-swept Russian plains, I thought again of them and of Napoleon, though in a different way. One remembered that a high church official issued an attack upon Napoleon, and that when news of it was brought to the conqueror, he sneered: "Does the old' fool think that his mouth is going to make the muskets drop out of the hands of my soldiers?" And then, as one thinks again of the snow-swept Russian plains, of Napoleon retreating from -Moscow, of his soldiers freezing, falling by the road, the muskets dropping from their hands . . . one wonders. t That the ancient Orientals made use of wine made from the date palm tree is evident from Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny. This tree, once aboundant in Palestine, is now rare. German breweries are manufacturing a form of yeast to be mixed with stock foods to increase their nourishing qualities. Kearse, Ehrhardt; 2nd, Dick Roberts, Ehrhardt. In this event Bamberg was knocked out because of an accident to one of the contestants. Tba following is the result of the athletic contest in points: Bamberg, 62 points; Ehrhardt, 72 1-2; Denmark, 17; Olar, 12 1-2; Govan 10; Colston, 5. Valuable prizes were awarded to all winners of first place in the athletic events. The merchants, banks, and business men of Bamberg, Denmark, and Ehrhardt furnished liberally the prizes for the events besides buying four handsome gold medals for the oratorical and recitation contests. After all parts of the programme, oratorical, mental, and athletic, had been concluded and the points counted the results were found as follows: Bamberg had scored 140; Denmark, 123: Ehrhardt, 121 1-2; Olar, 40 1-2; Colston, 28; Govan, 10; OakGrove, 3: Pine Grove, 1. Bamberg graded and high school, having won the highest number of points, was awarded the handsome trophy cup which it will hold until next field da,y when it will be contested for again. The following is a list of the firms, banks, and business men of Bamberg who gave liberally for prizes for field day: Bamberg Banking com" 1 1 1 - n U* dim to r?n c pailV, K60pi6S UU.I1K, I>.

Washington, .March 24.?How will South Carolina's citizen soldiery, her National Guard and her volunteers on sea and land serve their country if called to war? Will it be another field of Cherubusco in .Mexico? Will it be another Chicamatiga, a Wilderness, a Seven Days' battle, another hellish fight of the Crater? Or will it be in sea fighting that the brain and brawn of South Carolina will again show its prowess in the history of the years yet to be? The South Carolina soldier has never faltered nor waited for the drum beat call to duty. With tliei native pride that swells within his, breast he takes his place with friends and comrades ready for the day, gladly on the field of battle and cherishing but one thought?to give his best for his State and native land. What will the great struggle now forming along gigantic lines develop? After we have spent millions and millions of dollars for sea craft which will meet those of the foreign foe on the sea of battle, how will it all end, when the smoke has cleared away, and the bloody conflict ended, as all things must by the mutations of time? This, no one knows, nor does there live the man who even would nrcsne-p thp. pnd of this titanic Strug v?0w ? _ gle. In the army and navy of the United States there are many brave sons of the Palmetto State who must face the crisis. Their life's work soldiery, fighting for their country when the i war tocsin sounds, they will be found again ready to shed their blood with their brothers from home whenever duty calls. South Carolina, leaving aside for the time being the exact service each 0f her sons will render in this time of war, will be represented by her ''regulars" in the army and navy, that is those men from South Carolina who in the years past have become members of one of these branches of the government's fighting force; her National Guard, and such volunteers as may be called for in the future and who are not now members of the guard. With these three elements, together with the "men" of the United States army and navy, not officers, the great fight will be waged. S^,lt was once used l'or money in paying the soldiers.
