Dr. X. F. Kirk land, one of Bamberg county's veteran citizens, died Sunday afternoon at four o'clock at the home of his son,. A. L. Kirkland, near Olar, at the age of ninety years. Dr. Kirkland had been in ill health for some months, and his death was not unexpected. Interment took place Monday afternoon at four o'clock, at Mizpah Methodist church, where he had requested that his mortal frame should rest. Rev. C. M. Peeler, his pastor, Rev. A. C. Walker and Rev. Peter Stokes, of Orangeburg, conducted the burial servioe The burial was at tended by a large concourse of relatives and friends from this and several adjoining counties. Dr. Needham Franklin Kirkland was in his ninetieth year. He was born on January 27th, 1831, on the same place where he died nearly a century later, which was at that time incorporated in old Barnwell county, cut off later into Bamberg. Dr. Kirkland attended the common schools of his community and then went to Cokesbury school. Deciding on the practice of medicine as a profession, he entered the Medical college at Charleston from which institution he was graduated. He completed his medical training by taking a post graduate course in New York, and began practicing medicine in 1857. When the war clouds began to gather, he enlisted for service with his countrymen. He entered at the outbreak of the war serving in Colcock's regiment as assistant surgeon. His services during the war were confined to the coast of South Carolina. After the war Dr. Kirkland returned home and resumed his ministry to the sick and for some years enjoyed a wide practice. There are many of the older people of the county who recall in a loving manner his p-antlo rninictrfltinnc rhiririer these years. In 186S he gave up the active practice of medicine, but continued to minister to those about him. His time was devoted largely to his farming interests, and he made as good a farmer as he did a doctor. During the red shirt campaign he took an active part in redeeming his state and county from the misrule of the carpetbagger, and he has always been identified with all public movements. On May 27, 1857, Dr. Kirkland was happily married to Miss Jenny M. Lawton, of Hampton, a daughter of the late J. M. and Elizabeth Thompson Lawton, who preceded him to the grave by eleven years. Eight children were born to them, three of whom have gone to their reward, ind two of whom died at the age of twenty years. Dr. R. C. Kirkland, of Barnwell, died last year. Four sons are living. Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Jr., )f Allendale is a prominent physician. Rev. W. C. Kirkland, D. D., is editor jl the Southern Christian Advocate, Columbia; J. M. L. Kirkland, of Beaufort county, retired last year trom the office of probate judge of lis county, while A. L. Kirkland was elected clerk of court of Bamberg lounty in 1916 and renominated m :he recent Democratic primary with)ut opposition. One daughter is living, .Mrs. Harry M. Graham, of Gresnvood. Dr. Kirkland's political career consisted of sixteen years of service as" :reasurer of Barnwell county. For ;en years he was president of the Citizens Ban/ of Barnwell. His chief ambition in life, as repeatedly stated by himself, was to serve his day and generation accordng to the will of God. His noble Christian life bore ample testimony 'o the fact that in this he was emilently successful. The writer has nev;r heard a word spoken in criticism of [his good man. He was a member of :he Mizpah Methodist church at Buford's Bridge, and he served there as a steward for more than half a century. While he retired from all business activity about 15 years ago, he never retired from religious activity, and he remained as chairman of the board of stewards of the Olar charge to the day of his death. Anything that pertained to the welfare of his church, state or community has always claimed 111s aueiuiuu, auu although his ninety years prevented him from taking the active part of former years, his opinion was sought constantly by admiring friends, and his advice always proved a true guide in church or community matters.

Editor The Herald:?The writer read with interest your article in your last issue in regard to Bamberg's '$100,000 hotel. Perhaps the readers of your valued paper thought these figures were only intended as burlesque, as they doubtless thought that a hotel of this value would excell other institutions and industries of the town. For this reason the writer gathered together a few facts relative to WHAT BAMBERG IS. . TT T 11 1. _ T . i? .first. we are a sman Duncn 01 hustlers, numbering almost 3,000. Every man in our town pulls for a better town, a more progressive business center and for new enterprises of various nature which are beneficial to the country as a whole. We have a graded and high school which ranks as A-No.-l in South Carolina. We have Carlisle school, which is a branch of Wofford college, and has enrolled at this writing 225 of the I best southern boys, who are our boys for nine months in the year, and often times longer. "Once a BambergI ian always a Bambergian." We have three good churches, about sixty retail' stores, five sales stables, two large tobacco warehouses, which are new and progressive, and enemies of the boll weevil (raany of our farmers have been so successful they expect to make tobacco their main crop hereafter.) These warehouses are already rented for storage houses for our new crop of peanuts and cotton during the months they are not occupied by tobacco. We have an oil mill which is doing fine business, and a modern cotton mill which is working at the present time 160 employes. The mill is running every day. There is an ice factory with a capacity of 12 tons per day, and three strong, accommodating and progressive banks with resources ranging around $2,000,000. Government statistics show that Bamberg is the richest town "per capita in South Carolina. We have two weekly newspapers which are alive and always welcomed, a postoffice modern in every respect. We have a wholesale grocery, and a wholesale furniture company, which are both shipping goods every day. We have a new potato curing plant "which will soon be crowded with our new.crop of sweet potatoes. It is understood that by next season we will have two more tobacco warehouses in addition to the twro we have. Bamberg is the county seat of Bamberg county. And we have at last grown to the point that you can actually live in Bamberg and not be on Railroad avenue. Bamberg is unquestionably the best and most progressive town between Charleston and Augusta, and we are growing every day. No one need ever be surprised at anything that they hear about the growth and progress of our live town. We are no more a malaria town, for we are now "exempt," after an expenditure of almost $30,000 worth of ACTUAL MONEY, and our old wet, boggy Main street is a thing of the past. Today in its stead we have a beautiful paved white way, which would be a credit to any city. We are on the highway leading from Calumbia to Savannah, which causes quite a number of pleasure seekers as well as business men to come through our town on their journey. Now, the question arises, do we need a hotel to back up our town? Are Bamberg citizens lying asleep to this extent and allowing the traveling public to leave our town for hotel accommodations ' in smaller towns? No! We have stood for it too long now, and every business man who really thinks what he is doing, and every citizen of Bamberg who loves his old home town and wants it to grow, as we all do, will be only too. glad to join hands and put the deal "over the top" without a single kick. Yours for a $100,000 hotel, F. K. GRAHAM. Sept. 23, 1920. Meeting of Cotton Association. Members of the American Cotton Association, of Bamberg county, please take notice: A meeting of the Bamberg county branch of the American Cotton Association is called October 5th, at 11 o'clock for the purpose of putting on a sustaining membership campaign. Mr. McLeod, chairman of the national finance committee, will speak, explaining fully the necessity of the campaign. Everybody is requested to attend and revive the interest once show* in the association. A campaign is being put on in every county and 1G counties have been completed raising a total of $50,000. C.

Bountiful Shower for Benefit of Carlisle's Xew Infirmary. In keeping with its progressive spirit and splendid policy of expansion Carlisle school has this year spread out a little more and purchased another building to be used strictly as an infirmary for this thriving institution. The infirmary is the late Armstrong home located on Midway street and adjacent to the old Carlisle campus. Two of the first things to be done in connection with new movement were the selection of a name for the infirmary and the matter of equipment for it. Consequently a committee of representative ladies was appointed and it was decided to have a 1 j? iL _ L r* , ~ snuwer ior me uenent or tne innrmary and the ladies of the town were asked to contribute. This shower was recently held at Guilds Hall and was a glowing success, members of all denominations in the city helping to mak^ it so and all denominations contributing liberally. Mrs. Josephine Beach, the ever faithful matron of Carlisle school, acted as hostess for the occasion, and delicious block ice cream and wafers were served to the large assemblage'of ladies present. Practically the first thing entered into by the ladies was the choice of a name for the school's infirmary. They did not confer in advance on this question hut each lady voted separately, and as a lasting tribute and monument to her great work for the school the decision was unanimous to call it the Josephine Beach infirmary. This is indeed a well merited reward for Mrs. Beach, whose faithful, earnest and tireless labors on behalf of Carlisle's boys for many years past have endeared her to the hearts of all friends of Bamberg's grandest institution, and won her a place in the affections of the old boys who have gone out from its walls to fight life's battles that only mother can possibly fill. And in giving credit where it is due for the magnificent growth of Carlisle and its usefulness to the state ' the noble efforts of the school's matron always have to be placed among the foremost assets. Unusually appropriate then to ever remain standing there as a silent tribute is the name, Josephine Beach infirmary: "Lord God of hosts, be witfi us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget."The friends of the school opened up their hearts and pocket books bountifully for the shower, and their gracious generosity and splendid spirit manifested are deeply appreciated by the students and those in authority, who will also welcome any other gifts to the infirmary from any source whatever. A list of the articles contributed follows:/ 65 bath towels, 77 face towels, 45 pillow cases, 20 sheets, 14 window curtains, 8 white quilts, 8 napkins, 6 pepper and salt shakers, 11 tunVblers, 1 ice cap, 1 hot water bottle and $1 cash. HI P Comes to Carlisle. Rev. W. J. Snyder, of Batesburg, has accepted a position with Carlisle school as associate headmaster and teacher of Bible. Mr. Snyder arrived in the city last week to assume his duties, and his family will move to BC.mnerg m tne next iew aays. For some tiipe past Mr. Snyder has been connected with Lander college, Greenwood, as traveling representative. He is a member of the Metho*** dist conference and has filled some of the largest charges in the state as pastor. The Carlisle school authorities feel that in securing the services of Mr. Snyder they have been fortunate. He is particularly well qualified to serve Carlisle's best interests. He has frequently visited Bamberg and has many friends here who rejoice that he and his estimable family are to make Bamberg their home. He is the father of Major Harry Snyder, who while a student of Carlisle was prominently connected with the military organization of the school during the past session. Charged With Stealing Car. Frank Padgett and Willie Moody, + vftiintr tT-Viifck 'hnve n'OTQ Qfroctofl Lwu UU115 liii^ 1JV/JO, ?? v-/x V?A A VMV.W* I Monday charged with the theft of an I automobile from the Thomas Service Station Sunday night. It is understood that -Moody will be sent to the reformatory. Padgett has joined the army. Postmaster A. W. Knight left his car at the service station Saturday for some work, and on Sunday night it is said that the boys took the car out. It was located Sunday several miles out on the Ehrhardt road, where it had been abandoned, apparently after being run into something. Considerable damage was done the automobile, and the appearances indicated that after it was abandoned it was further damaged by some parties in an effort to secure the gasoline out of the tank. Some of the tools also were stolen. Denmark Dots. Denmark, Sept. 25.?Grahams chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, held its first meeting > after the summer recess with Mrs. R. L.
