( \ The Baptist Woman's Missionary , c society will meet next Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at the church. A full attendance is urged. ( t The many friends of G-. Frank j Bamberg, who recently underwent an operation in Charlotte, will be j pleased to know that he is rapidly < regaining his health. He returned from Charlotte a few days ago, ac- ] companied by Mrs. Bamberg. j The master made one sale Monday, that involved in the c^se of Mrs. i Ruth Califf versus R. H. Califf, et al. 1 " ' 1 ? n J Tne nrst tract, a iui auu I coiuonv^, j sold for $4,700, and the second tract, i two lots and two residences, soltf for J $6,000. Both tracts bid in by J. Wesley Crum, Jr., attorney. < A number of attractive new homes ? have recently been built in Bamberg, or are now in the process of erection. 1 While building conditions are not J very favorable at the present time, the need for houses in the town has caus- ^ ed many prospective builders to make their plans to build at once. J Miss Virginia Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hill, has been { recortfmended and notified of her acceptance as a student of the W. M. U. training school next session. Miss J Hill has enlisted in the student volunteer movement to become a foreign missionary of the Baptist denomination. i The drought for the past two or < three weeks is causing a very serious deterioration of crops. This is specially true of the corn crop, which is j said to be deteriorating rapidly. Some sections of the county have re- ( cently been visited by rains, while ^ other sections have not had rain in three weeks or more. The section ^ from Denmark to Blackville is said to be the greatest sufferer. ^ Farmers from every section of Bamberg county report the presence j of boll weevils in alarming numbers. < A Bamberg gentleman who visited tlie Estill section a few days ago reports that tie cotton plants in that section are fine, but that the weevils . have eaten practically the whole crop of young bolls. While the weevils are thoroughly broadcast over this county, it is not believed that the < loss here will be nearly so great as ( in the more southern counties. * < Poppenheim-Bikle. j _____ r The marriage of Miss Mary E. Pop- t penheim to Louis A. Bikle, which \ took place at the home of the bride's l parents, Mr. and Mrs? J. L. Poppen- i heim, 4 Ashe street, Charleston, S. C., on June 30th at 9 p. m., was the 1 center of cordial interest, although s very quiet on account of the recent i death of the ^ groom's niother and z brother. z No cards had been issued and invi- I tations had been limited to relatives i and a few close friends, but these f showed their sincere interest and * were in attendance. The rooms were charmingly decor- J ated, great hydrangeas carrying ouf a color-scheme of pink and blue which prevailed in the costumes of the attendants. . The bride wore a smart traveling suit of taupe colored cloth with hat ,and shoes to match and carriecf white Killaraey roses, her maids carrying t pink Killarney roses tied with green r tulle. These were Mi^s Bessie Bikle, ^ maid of honor, and Miss Sadie Daw- 8 son, who entered with William Bikle, and Miss Ruby BurKett, who entered with William Vardell. The little flower girls, Misses Margaret Stevens and Doris Rhoad, wore frilly frocks of organdie with blue tulle sashes and hair bows and carried baskets of pink roses tied^ with blue tulle. y The bride was give<n in marriage ? by her father, J. L. Poppenheim, and rj the ceremony was performed by the t Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of the S. mg Street Methodist church, JuiidS Mi holes acting as Mr. Bikle's best mar T1 e m c le was a pretty feature of i th s wedding.

ILLITERACY IX COUNTY. 1 5,054 Persons Over 10 Cannot Read 1 or Write Their Names. There are in South Carolina 2 76,000 persons over 10 years of age who cannot read and write. The 1910 census figures report 3,054 illiterates ' in Bamberg county. Of the white population 4.2 per cent, were 1 illiterate, while the negro pop- j illation showed 33 per cent. : The total per cent, of illiteracy with the other counties of the state Bamberg ranks 16th in the scale of literacy. The table compiled by the state superintendent of education from the ' Democratic club rolls of 1916 gives some startling facts. In that year 1 9,878 men voted in the state who signed their names to the club rolls .vith a cross mark. In Bamberg county 1,533 men registered, 10.8 per cent, made their marks. When compared with the other counties of the state Bamberg ranks 5th in literacy among the voters. Let South Carolina secede from illiteracy by each literate citizen teaching one illiterate.

She is the daughter 3f Mr. and Mrs. N. Z. Felder, of this jity, and has spent all of her life 1 here making friends.

The locals simply walloped Gillman, who started for Bamberg, and Smith, who succeeded him m the seventh inning, but was little better. But for a few bobbles, Kitts would have scored a shut out. Buist, Humerlin, Welch, Burns and Kitts were the bright stars for the locals, while for Bamberg Rentz and Turnipseed and Bamberg did well, Bamberg getting a home run.

Bamberg Defeats Barnwell. Bamberg defeated Barnwell on the latter's diamond last Friday by the score of 2 to 1. The Bamberg team, which had-been playing a more or less ragged'and indifferent game for the previous two weeks, showed flashes of the old time 'pep,' and while they made three errors, the playing of the entire team was good. The feature of the game was the pitching of Smith, who allowed only one hit. Bamberg earned the game. It has been said that the game was wron by Bamberg on account of errors of the Barnwell team, but this is a mistake. If the game had gone errorless Bamberg would have won the game 1 to 0.

The Bamberg Realty company, which was organized a few weeks ago by ten prominent Bamberg citizens for the purpose of providing housing facilities in this city has just completed the erection of three nice residences on the property purchased by the company from G. O. Simmons in the northern section of i town. The fourth residence is now in construction of erection, and will soon be completed. The homes completed are one-story bungalow style houses, and are very neat'and attractive. The home now being erected will be two stories and considerably larger than the others. The company owns twelve acres of v^rv desirable residence property which is now being rapidly developed.

A quiet home wedding took place yesterday at noon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Toole, when Rev. Dr. P. J. McLean, pastor of the First' Baptist church, joined in holy wedlock Miss Estelle Annie Toole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Toole, to John R. Martin, Jr., of Denmark, S. C. Owing to the fact that the gentle mother of the bride has for long been an invalid, only very intimate friends of the contracting parties ana close relatives were in attendance at the ceremony. The bride is a young woman of many lovable traits and has won many and sincere friends by her gracious disposition. Mr. Martin is an energetic young business man who is connected with the Bell Telephone company in his home town, is highly regarded and bopular in his part of the state.

Blackville, July 6.?Francis Bamberg-, playing left field for Bamberg, was painfully injured here this afternoon in the game between Bamhprpr and Riankvillc. when he was struck directly behind the right ear by av swiftly pitched ball by Pitcher Kitts. The accident was plainly unavoidable and all Blaekville would have mu\a rather lost the game than to see the plucky little fielder injured. It is hoped that his^ injury is not serious, fie is resting fairly well tolight at the residence of J. W. Browning, where he was taken after the ?ame. Mr. Bamberg was carried to Columbia Wednesday morning to have an X-ray examination made of the injury. He was accompanied by Dr. A.. S. Weekley,of Bamberg. It is sincerely hoped by his many Bamberg friends that Mr. Bamberg's injury will not prove serious. ^ i o? ^ Just received, shipment of tobacco sheets. H. C.FOLK CO. # PLANTED FAKE WATERMELONS. Field of 44Watson" Melons Tui'ns Out To lie "Guinea" Variety. W. Gilmore Simms, who is operating a farm on the old William Gilmore Simms estate at Midway, has experienced quite a misfertune in a watermelon venture* this season. At the first of the season, when Mr. Simms was planning his crops, he decided on watermelons as a good crop to combat the cotton boll weevil with, and he planted some fifty to sixty acres in this crop. Shippers of melons \n this section all recommend very highly the "Tom Watson" watermelons (the melon is said to be far superior to the man) which are especially adapted for shipping purposes. The seed for the planting were bought of a well known seed house, and the crop was very promising. A nice crop of melons grew on the vines, and splendid profits were expected bj Mr. Simms. A few days ago, though, the melor 'field was given the "once over," and it was seen with unmistakable evi dence that the crop of Tom Watsons had turned out to be what the farmers know as guinea watermelons? which, to all practical purposes is just about no melon at all. These guinea melons grbw about as large as cantaloupes and are usually fit foi nothing but hog food. Many farmersplant them for this purpose, as tliej are very prolific, turning the. hogs into the field without bothering tc gather the melons. ' Mr. Simms is quite a heavy losei by the fake seed, as it is said that his fertilizer bill alone was something like $3,000. With a good crop he should have gathered no less than 20^ car,loads of melons, and at the present prices this would have meant about $7,000, as melons are quoted at about $350 per carload. It is said that the seed houses will not guarantee seeds, as they purchase them from growers and sell them as the seed are represented. In this case it is presumed that the seed house was faked. - ? BRANCJETV1LLE GIRL DROWNS. Miss Orie Byrd Loses Life at Picnic on Edisto. Branchville/ July 3.?Miss Orie Byrd, 17 year old daughter of Mr. anc Mrs. F. J. Byrd, was drowned todaj shortly after noon in the Edisto river about three miles west of here. Sev eral families were at the river on 2 picnic, and six or eight other young people, ranging from 12 to 17 years old, were in bathing on a sandbar ir the river, & short distance from the picnic party.

One of the girls managed tc get on a snag which projected almosl to the top of the water and was rescued by a fisherman, who was nearbj and heard the alarm of the girls. Miss Byrd sank and when the fisherman arrived, no. trace of her could be seen Shortly after the news reached towr a party rushed to the scene with hopes of recovering the body, but up , to a late hbur they had not been successful.
