The Farmers' Exchange Week was originally planned as merely an opportunity for the merchants and farmers to get together for their mutual benefit, but it has broadened to I such an extent that the promoters are really sorry that it was not officially named the Bamberg County ' Fair, for the prospects now are that it is going to be a most excellent small fair for the exhibition of the products of the county. While the time for preparation has been very short, the arrangements I committee expects to take care of all exhibits offered in farm produce or live stock and poultry. The fair opens Tuesday morning * with a big free community barbecue. The entertainment committee has secured plenty of hogs and calves for the cue, and an expert "cuer" has been secured to cook -the meat in an approved manner. Arrangements will be made to handle the barbecue in a manner that will insure every Ip body being served. The full and detailed programme ~ of all events for Exchange Week api pears in a full page advertisement |? v in The Herald today. Read the programme carefully, and make your arrangements to visit Bamberg on each of the days, for there is something of special interest on each day. One of the biggest features of the I occasion will be the addresses of Dr. W. W. Long, and N. E. Winters, both Of the extension service of Clemson || college. Dr. Long will speak on Tuesday at some convenient point on the pfr exchange grounds. Dr. Long needs no introduction to the people of Bambere county. He is at the head of the Ilpf extension service, and has been idenv tified with-the agricultural department lor* a long period of years. His address will bring to the farmers especially a message worth traveling jp many miles to hear.pp Mr. Winters is one of the boll j|g- weevil experts of the extension ser?:C vice. He recently made addresses gpjt/.- at the community fairs at Ehrhardt and Colston, both of whoch were dev/; scribed as the finest on this subject s :V ever heard in this county. He knows the boll weevil from A to Z, and he knows the methods -that have been successfully employed in otner secSg tlons to combat this pest. He will f . also tell the farmers of the crops that - should be raised under boll weevil conditions and how they should be || planted and cultivated, gf?... 4 This is a great opportunity for our people to become familiar with the plans for beating the weevil. The exhibits will be displayed at the^ Farmers Tobacco Warehouse, > which is the largest building under one roof and in one room in this section of the state. It has ample ca IpS; - P&city, and is in every way suitaDie jH"\. ^ for this occasion. Wednesday will probably be the M'h * "big day," if there is one day bigger than another, of the Exchange Week. On this day the schools of the county will be here in full force. Most of ?|p the school have already arranged to . give a holiday Wednesday, and other schools will be visited during this week. The schools will assemble at Rhoad park, from which place they will parade through the streets. This parade will be headed by a band, and will be joined in by numerous floats ^r%ir\A Kii r?irt noc VlAllOOQ IB?V. ^ uv Ul'^dlll^clllUiis aiiu uuoiucaa uwuuvu. Mrs. G.

She is now undergoing treatment in an Augusta hospital. The friends of Vastine J. Hartzog will regret to learn ithat for the past week ;he has been confined to his bed at his home here on account of illness. Quite a number of Bamberg' peonia oi-.tanrioH the musical comedy, "Not Tonight, Josephine," played at the Orangeburg theatre Monday night. Henry Q. Jennings, Charlie D. Free, Jim McGowan and Steve Ryan, all former prdminent Bamberg citizens, recently returned to the city on the same date. Another big crowd of Bamberg citizens left Tuesday for Pon Pon, the deer -hunting territory. This sport is being greatly enjoyed during the present season daily by local gentlemen. A union thanksgiving service was planned for Wednesday night at the Baptist church, the congregations of the various churches uniting on this occasion. No service will be held to-, day?Thursday. A reference was held Tuesday before the special referee, J. J. Brabham. Jr.. at his office in the court house here, in the case of Jones A. Williams against the Bamberg, Ehr hardt and Walterboro Railway Co. A week or two ago ^Iiss Julien Easterling advertised in The Herald for a lost watch. As soon as the advertised appeared, the son of William Curry, who has read The Herald for many years, delivered the watch to rr fVioirincr fnnriH if cOV? vuss ciasictnug, IUUUU uv. eral days before. The watch was highly prized, and Miss Easterling was delighted to have ^t returned. ? M. W. Brabham, who is connected with the Sunday school work of the Southern Methodist church, was in Bamberg Sunday, and made a splendid address before the men's Bible class of Trinity Sunday school. Mr. Brabham is a former Bamberg citizen, and has scores of friends here who are always delighted to have him return to^his native heath. There are a few vacant stores on Main street in Bamberg, and some unoccupied dwellings within the citylimits; of course several years ago this would have been an unheard of thing here, but it is safe to say that progressive as we are these conditions will not remain long in Bamberg, and f/x Ko vmnoH that soon business It 19 tv WV UV|/Vv* VMM? ? houses and residences will both be at a premium in Bamberg.

The jewelry store has been moved from its old location down town to one of the recently remodeled stores in the old Johnson hotel building. It is said that Mr. Carrol is an expert watchmaker v and jeweler of many years' experience and this business should be-<iuite an addition to the commercial interests of Bamberg. Knights Enjoy Supper. Monday evening, after the close of the revival service at the Baptist church, a delightful oyster supper was served to the members of Bam berg lodge No. 38, Knights of Fythias. Quite a few PythUns were present to enjoy the evening. A short business session was 'held before the supper, after which the lodge was duly closed, and the supper served in the lodge room.

An interesting session was had with the mayor in police court Monday morning at which he prescribed pretty freely for his patients brought to him, and the prescriptions proved rather beneficial to 'the city's treasury, whether they cured the patients or not. All parties brought before Mayor Thomas were negro men, and each fine assessed was promptly paid in preference to accepting a prison sentence or doing time on tlie streets. The fines are almost invariably paid in each case every week, which would seem to indicate that even in spite of the hard times some people can somehow* somewhere get money to throw away foolishly and Jawiessly, and vet at the same time do good with it by enriching the city coffers. The first case called was that of a young negro, Spann Kirkland, charged with cursing and fighting. He declined to serve a sentence of twenty days, so paid his fine of $5 instead. Henry Carter was tried on a charge of attempting to fight, but it seemed that Henry was not so anxious for the fray as to make any appreciable effort to get bad, so Mayor Thomas dismissed the case against him. Horace Williams was found guilty of fighting and drawing a knife on another dusky shaded youngster, and was fined $5 or sentenced to a period >of 20 days' service. Harry Caldwell was unfortunate enough to have two cases docketed against him. In the firse he received a fine of $5 or a sentence of 15 days. In the second he was charged with transporting and having in his possession alcoholic liquors, for which he was also found guilty, and sentenced td 30 days im prisonment or to pay a fine of $10. The first charge against him was that of drunk and disorderly conduct. Minyard Odom also received a fine of $5 or sentence of 15 days for being drunk and disorderly. And he was tried on another count of carrying concealed weapons, the decision of the mayor in that case being a fine of $15 or a sentence of 30 days. ' a Blackville Defeats Bamberg High. The Bamberg high foot ball team, led by its coach, X. Pinckney Smoak, Jr., and Captain Red Price at full back, played to a 27 to 6 defeat last Friday afternoon at the 'hands of the Blackville high school on the latter's grounds. Though far outweighed the Bamberg boys played hard, and perhaps the team was better generated than Blackville, which offered more power and skill. The only touchdown for Bamberg was made by Ellzey, playing left end, when he intercepted a Blackville forward pass in the very shadow of their own goal posts and thus the six points were scored on the spoK Price missed the goal. The entire Blackville back field starred, and Drincipally Fanning at full and Captain Wilke sat quarter, who repeatedly carried the ball for long gains, the winners averaging a touchdown for each quarter and only failing to kick goal once. Ducker in Bamberg's back field displayed a splendid ability for tackling time and again, while Louis Klauber ran the team well, and Price put up a good defensive game and made some nice gains around the Blackville ends. Bamberg's' points were scored in the third period. Death of Lee Thomas. Lee Thomas, who had lived in Bamberg nearly all his life, died at his home in this city Sunday night, and was buried Monday afternoon at frmr o'eloek in South End cemetery. Mr. Thomas was the youngest brother of James and Benjamin Thomas, who have both resided here for years and are well known. He had been in poor health for about a year, being first taken sick at Graniteville, where he was working about a year ago. He then came to Bamberg and had not been well since, although he was on the streets walking around Tuesday of last week. He was forced to take to his bed that day and quickly grew worse until the end Sunday night. He had led the quiet peaceable life of a good citizen. In addition to his brothers above mentioned the de ceased left a wife and six months' old baby to mourn his passing. To Bridge Savannah Near Allendale.

Hoffman came near sustaining a serious loss Saturday night before closing his store and while Mrs. Hoffman and the children were witnessing the picture show. When the family returned to the home on New Bridge street about nine o'clock that night it was discovered that the bottom had fallen from a stove in the bath room while everybody was out. The floor had caught afire, but fortunately In some unknown manner the fire had gone out of its own accord before anybody noticed it. The room was badly smoked and consid erably smouldered and the floor was burned in a small area, but the actual damage was not large. Thus a deplorable conflagration was narrowly averted by sheer good fortune. Don't Mail Letters on Trains. The local postmaster^through the columns of The Herald has repeatedly called the attention of the patrons of the Bamberg postofhce tr me abominable practice of depositing ' * * - !- x ^ AtT tneir mans on UlO trams ar mcj pass through the city, and ^vain attempts made to discourage this custom here, especially as to east bound trains, and every reasonable effort made to induce them to post their letters in the postoffice. The chief rea son why the government desires tms is because Branchville, the junction point, is so near that the ^railway mail clerks and dispatchers do not have the necessary time before getting to Branchville to cancel all these stamps on so many letters, assort the various mails and get them dispatched properly. Consfequenly the postmaster has received another very strong letter rrom xne, cmei yuaiai clerk at Charleston, who has jurisdiction over such matters, again urging that the practice be discontinued as much as possible, antl if something is not done by the public and business people themselves to relieve the situation soon, if is altogether possible that the drop box on these particular trains will be closed when they reach Bamberg and the mail clerks aboard prohibited from accepting letters for transportation. It is hoped that the patrons will govern themselves accordingly and post their mail in 'the postoffice so that the above outlined drastic remedy will not be necessary. Of course in certain rare instances when an emergency arises it is absolutely necessary to mail letters directly on the trains, and that is what the drop boxes are placed thereon for. But Bamberg npoDlft it seems must not abuse this privilege longer, but should avail themselves of the opportunity to use the postoffice whenever possible, and thus save th^ drop boxes on the trains for the emergency cases, even though i-; may not always be as convenient lor them as they would prefer.

Former Bamberg Citizen Writes of Oconee County. Editor The Herald:?Herewith you will please find check for $2.00 for renewal of my subscription. The Herald is always looked forward to with great pleasure each week. I can honestly say that there are larger papers from larger towns up in this part of the state, but they haven't anything on The Bamberg Herald when it comes to being a real good paper. I have been reading with much interest from The Herald about the idea and plans of the Farmers' Exchange week that I see you have scheduled in the last issue. I wish to congratulate the originators and committees on this great move for Bamberg county. This will mean one of the greatest feathers in the crown of all farmers who take an interest at heart in this work. I had the pleasure of visiting Greenville and Anderson county fairs which were hnth ieood. Yon could I tell from all the exhibits that the very best ideas were used to bring about a success as was shown. Oconee county is waking up. The boll weevil is here. The farmers and towns are planning for a big county fair in November, 1922. The boys' pig clubs and the girls' canning clubs had an exhibit in Seneca to day. It was rather hard to decide which to give tihe red or the blue ribbons to, as all were good and showed quite an amount of interest on the part of all the members. I wish much success to the Farmers' Exchange Week, and hope to see it develop into a big county fair. With kindest regards. F. C. AYER. Seneca, S. C., Nov. 18. Mrs. J. J. Smoak Entertains U. I>. C.
