Brief Items of Interest Throughout 1 the Town and County. i Tom Chagaris has been under < treatment at an Augusta hospital fori; the past several days. He is now |; getting along nicely. , F. W. Free has presented The Her aid with the prize Irish potato of the| season. It tips the scales at a pound) and a quarter, and is of the cobbler variety. L. Kobetz, Bamberg's well known j shoe repairer, who has been under j' treatment in a Columbia hospital, is i very much improved and is expected j home soon. National memorial day, May 30, was observed in Bamberg by the closing of the banks and the postoffice. The rural mail carriers also enjoyed the holiday. A meeting of the telephone subscribers was called to be held at the theatre last week, but only four or five persons responded to the call. Several matters were to .have been considered but on account of the api parent lack of interest in the matter, . no action was taken. Real summer weather appears at J last to have arrived. For the past ( week the thermometer has flirted: with blood 'heat, 98 degrees Fahren- j heit, right along. The crops have been needing warm weather and | things are beginning to look much better on the farms. The commencement exercises of ( Lander college, Greenwood, are being held this week. Miss Mary Ann i Bronson, of Bamberg, is a member of, the graduating class. Miss Minnie Lee Ayer, of Bamberg, also receives a diploma, having completed the course of study some months ago. Dr. E. O. Watson, of Washington, D. C., who preached the baccaleau- j reate sermon of Carlisle school Sunday, stayed over in town Monday to shake hands with his many friends, j The doctor was pastor of Trinity | church several years ago, and is an always welcome visitor to Bamberg, j Dr. James E. Mills, professor of j chemistry at the University of South Carolina, has resigned his connection with that institution to become connected with the chemical warfare ser . vice in Maryland. Dr. Mills is well known in Bamberg, owning consider-. able property in this section, where he is a frequent visitor. i It is reported that several farmers throughout the county are plowing up their cotton and planting corn and ( other crops. Information comes that. this is being done throughout his sec- j{ tion of the state. The farmers sayj that cotton prospects are the poorest (? in years, and with the presence of a the boll weevil already manifested,, many planters are of the belief that there is very little in sight for the ' cotton farmer this year. j( BITE OF MAD DOG FATAL. i Animal Attacked Little Columbia Boy May 2. Columbia, May 26.?Charles Rich- ' ard Detreville, the 7-year-old son of | Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Detreville, of 1 Shannon Annex, died at the Baptist!1 hospital at 4 o'clock this afternoon i of rabies caused by the bite of a mad dog Monday, three weeks ago. R. H. Detreville, the boy's father, is manager of the Columbia branch of: the Gulf Refining Company, coming' to Columbia from Colleton county.!: The little boy with his little brother, | Julian Detreville, four and one-half years of age, and W. J. Cormack, Jr., three years of age, were sitting on the ' front steps of W. J. Cormack's residence Monday morning, May 2, when a strange dog, a white setter with j black spots, ran up. The dog jumped over the little Cormack boy biting Richard Detreville on the nose and under the right eye. The little boy was given the pasteur treatment, the last of the 21 injections being given last Sunday and since the boy apparently suffered little discomfort from the bite the danger period was considered past. Wednesday, however, he complained of pain and today he gradually grew worse despite the efforts of five physicians who had been called in an effort to save his life, the point of infection being so near the brain that the pasteur treatment could not check the course of the disease. ^ 1 f T>1 TT? l/ranj;t"uurj{ r annns i tuvv vui wu. Orangeburg, May 27.?Farmers in Orangeburg county have begun plowing up their cotton on account of the large number of boll weevils they have found in the fields. This practice is more in evidence in the Morgantown section, near Springfield, and if this practice gains the momentum it now seems probable a large number of acres are doomed to get this same treatment. Farm Demonstration Agen L. S. Wolfe says those who are now plowing up their cotton are replanting their fields mostly in corn and peanuts". TO START WORK SOOX. Orangeburg Road Through Swamp to bo Complete in December. J. F. Cleckley, of Cope, was in the city one day this week. Mr. Cleckley will assist in the building of the Orangeburg portion of the ColumbiaSavannah highway through the Edisto river swamp, and he states that preparations are being made to start work on this road construction in the next few days. Mr. Cleckley stated that the work is expected to be completed by next December. The contract calls for the building of slightly more than one mile of causeway through the swamp, and if the weather conditions are fav oraDie during me summer rapxu progress will be made, and it is hoped to have the work completed before the winter rains set in next fall. Xo further developments are reported concerning the Bamberg portion of the swamp road. Some time ago the county authorities took up the matter of this road construction with the state highway department. Formal application was made by the local authorities for federal "road aid for this purpose. Some little time is required to complete all details for such aid, and up to Tuesday nothing further had been heard from the highway commission. However, it is the intention of the local authorities to proceed as soon as possible with the building of this road. The contract will be let at the earliest date, and as Bamberg's portion is not nearly so much as the Orangeburg portion, it is hoped to have the oontract awarded in time to have this work completed along I with the Orangeburg stretch. It is j also expected that the two counties j will make the necessary arrangements j for the erection of a bridge over the Edisto joining the two roads. m * > ? Denmark Chapter. The Charles Pinckney chapter, D. A. R., held its May meeting with Mrs. Gordon Steadman, this being the last of the spring. It was agreed that the secretary ; secure the world war record blanks ! for our boys from Miss Marion Salley of Orangeburg, state historian. The treasurer reported a deficit of $2.25, this being the only indebtedness of the chapter for'the year, though the state'taxes had not been paid. It was ordered that these taxes wait over until next fall. A summary of the year's work of the chapter was read, which is as follows: On foundership pledged Tamassee rour years ago, $30; to current expenses, $50; pledged a second foundership, first payment to be made in November, 1921; three sot pads sent to Tamassee; contributed to the manual for immigrant fund, $3.-75; offered two history prizes in the Denmark high school and grammar school for the best work in United States history during the scholastic year, valued at $5 each, framed and hung three Amer Jin o n lUcili CI t w U in me oeuuuio wuu one in the postoffice; sent copy of original plans of Fort Sumter to historian to be filed in Washington; admitted two new members and filed the application for five others. \ The following officers were reelected for the next term; Mrs. F. H. McCrae, regent; Mrs. Gordon Steadman, secretary; Mrs. Frank Sturgeon, treasurer; Mrs. Hattie McMillan, registrar. It was the desire of the chapter that the secretary should mail to each of the out of town members a summary of the year's work, also to report the reelection of officers to proper authorities and to write Mrs. Frank Cain for copy of state conference minutes. It was suggested that the members continue the study of "We, the People," for the next meeting in September. After the meeting adjourned, the hostess served refreshments. To Carolina Alumni.

Becomes Grand Vice Chancellor of South Carolina Pythians. At the annual convention of the South Carolina grand lodge Knights of Pythias at Greenwood last week, Col. J. C. Guilds, formerly headmaster of Carlisle school and a leading citizen of Bamberg for many years, was elevated to the office of grand vice chancellor of the Pythians in this state. At the convention of the grand lodge last, year Col. Guilds had a very high honor conferred on him by being elected grand pleate, an office iii Pythianism for which he was not a candidate previous to his attendance upon the convention. The honor was all the greater because of the fact that Col. Guilds had been a member of the order only a few years, but during this time he had taken a great interest in the affairs of the order. Local friends of Col. Guilds feel very proud of the fact that Bamberg lodge has produced an officer in the order of high rank. Pursuing the custom that has prevailed for years, Col. Guilds will be elected grand | cnanceiior next year. mis is uic highest honor in the gift of South : Carolina Pythianism. Col. Guilds was elected to membership in the Bamberg lodge and received his ranks here. Upon his election to the presidency of Columbia college, his membership was transferred to one of the Columbia lodges. Capt. Henry C. Tillman, of Greenwood, was elected grand chancellor at the Greenwood meeting, and James H. Craig, of Columbia, grand prelate. The next convention goes to Spartanburg in 1922. J. J. Heard, retiring chancellor commander, and L. B. Fowler, past chancellor, represented Bamberg lodge, No. 38, at the grand lodge convention. They are very high in their praise of the people of Greenwood for the magnificent entertainment afforded the delegates and visitors to the convention. The Bamberg lodge was in the contest for new members, and while the local lodge was not awarded one of the prizes offered, it is said that Bamberg lodge ranked high in the contest, which was decided on a per centage basis. The number of initiations here was greater than most of the winning lodges, but on account of the present large membership, the percentage was lower than some of the other contestants. The local lodge now has a membership of between 150 and 175, with several candidates awaiting the conferring of -ranks. "GOOD-BYE BOLL WEEVIL." Free Motion Picture to Be Shown in Bamberg June 8, 3 P.

Columbia, May 28.?Former Senator John L, McLaurin, rf Benr.ettsville, will be the leader in the reorganization of the Republican party in South Carolina and will control the patronage, according to telegraphic advices received in Columbia today, telling of a conference between Mr. McLaurin, President Harding and C. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, in which it was decided that the former senator would head up the plans for reorganizing the G. O. P. in this state. It is stated that no appointments however, will be made unil .after the meeting of the republican natinnal nnmmittoo in Wflshine'tnn ?in tlUUUi V VVV/, * vv*.^ W-June 8th, at which time a new chairman will take charge of the G. 0. P., John T. Adams, of Iowa. The Washington advices "are to the effect that neither Mr. McLaurin nor Mr. Slemp, who has been entrusted by President Harding with cleaning up things in the G. 0. P. ranks in the . south, would make any statements regarding their conferences, though it was learned "from an authoritative source that McLaurin has been placed in charge and that Joseph Tolbert, the present state chairman and national committeeman, will be almost entirely a^figure-head." It is stated in the telegraphic advices from the capital that Mr. McLaiirin's visit to Washington was ostensibly to discuss with the president the cdtton situation in South Carolina, in which Mr. McLaurin and aiso the president are deeply interested. At the white house, according to the advices, it was ascertained that J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Association, hadwritten to President Harding some days ago to this effect: , "Senator McLaurin has given long and careful study to the financing and m Q in rr r\ P o fvni'oii 1 In wo 1 r\*? A 11 /vf j mciw\cLing, G?l agntunuiai piuuuvyco ? and is regarded as one of the best exI perts in America on this question. He has thoroughly familiarized himself with the situation and I beg that, you favor* us by granting him an interview.',' ,NIn a letter to Senator McLaurin Mr. Wannamaker said that he did not believe it would be possible to secure a lowering of the re-discount rates to four and a half and five, on agricultural and commercial paper and foifr on Liberty bonds, except through presidential action. This is what Mr. McLaurin discussed with the president. It is known that President Harding has been very sympathetic towards the southern farmer and that he recently indicated' that he would use his influence toward helping the situation. He is said to have so expressed himself to Mr. McLaurin in the white house conference yesterday. In the Washington advices some of the Democratic leaders in the national capital are quoted as saying that Mr. McLaurin might attempt a republican drive in this state, counting on the friendly feeling of the administration towards the south to help in breaking down the old wall of prejudice against anything G. Q. P. With the negro left out of It it is said, there will likely be many good South Carolinians willing to join a new Republican party. Republican leaders in the national capital are quoted as saying that John T. Adams, who is to be the new chairman of the Republican national committee after June 8 is "all right" in his attitude towards the south and is in favor of cleaning up the ranks of the republican party in Dixie. Tolbert, the present Republican leader, has been in Washington for weeks and has been doing some energetic log-rolling. It is stated in advices from the capital that Tolbert has been hard at work on cabinet | members and that he reached one cabinet member with his argument of "regular" standing with the Republican, party, pointing out that he delivered his delegation for Taft in 1912 and for Hughes in 1916. Despite his hold on the lone cabinet member, Tolbert has failed, it is stated, to put his men over. W. H. Andrews, of Georgetown, former state Senafor J. A. Banks, of St. Matthews, and J. Mortimer, of Bennettsville, have been with Mr. McLaurin in Washington. "They may have talked about South Carolina cotton," says the telegram from Washington, "but cotton is not the only subject that McLaurin is interested in just now." White Men Walk Out of Jail. Orangeburg, May 27.?Three white men held in the local jail Wednesday night walked out of jail. The county jail is now being remodeled and a guard is being kept up but he states he knew nothing of the escape. The white men are: G. W. Land, held for securing funds here for a local business college and who left with the money, and the two others are Benton and Herring, charged with stealing railroad tickets. MRS. J. O. SANDERS, JR.
