The | Farmers' Exchange Week is a comI plete success. Begun as a smMl get? together enterprise between the mer: ?'y chants and farmers, the project has grown into a creditable exhibition of 1 Bamberg county products. Bp" It'is not worth while to enumerate B the advantages of a county fair. The I people of Bamberg county evidently know the value of a fair by their patronage of neighboring fairs. We cannot refrain from mentioning, hows' i ever, the vast benefits to be derived just at this time from a county fair. The county is torn to pieces, literally ; . * speaking, from the devastation of the boll weevil. Cotton has made its exit . as a financial crop in Bamberg coun. ty?certainly for years to come. The imperative duty of the whole people of the county now is to get together on a farming programme that will bring success out of the chaos the I planters find themselves in. This can be accomplished in no better way than the interchange of plans and ideas among the people. It is not the farmer's problem, nor the banker's, nor the merchant's; it is the problem of Bamberg county, : and every individual in the county has a vital part in its solution. We venture to say that notwithstanding the very small and modest *0; display of country products here this week, many folks are being surprised Lc' - v to note what some of our farmer friends are doing. We venture to suggest that many farmers have been V. benefited by viewing the displays 8|p and exhibits. Next year we want a real county fair. We do not suggest a mammoth affair; such a proposition would be unwise. We want to grow upward and outward, not downward and inward. To make too big a beginning might Drove disastrous at the very I The display was put on in Bamberg this year with only four weeks of jM&V preparation, and at a cost of only a - few (hundred dollars. Next year we j?: must show a growth. . We must have a real county fair. In order to do this, there must be - cooperation on the part of all the "... people of the county. Bamberg coun:t ty is the finest in the state. We must let the people know about it. In fact, we must convince our own people of this fact. The county fair will fe- go a long way in this direction. ' POAT R4 IVTi SKA SON ENDS. t Local Teams Wind Up Season in Blaze of Glory. ' Both of the local foot ball elevens, the high school and Carlisle, completed their regular schedules Thanksgiving week in a blaze of glory, each emerging from its Thanksgiving contest triumphant by an overwhelming score, the high school being victor on Wednesday over Allendale hign by lpT; , the score of 51 to 0, and Carlisle i defeating Wofford Fitting school the I ' following day 47 to 0. Tbe high 3 school game was played on the new ? high school field at the rear of the s county jail nere, ana was luciueutajiv R the first regular high school contest p of any kind ever played on thi? field R . which has been dubbei Dixie Land 8 > park. Both games were weli attendB ed, especially the Carlisle-Wofford R game on Thanksgiving, which was S witnessed by the largest crowd who ever attended a foot ball game in R Bamberg county, man v spectators 1 ' coming from miles for the fray, while Py the town people also turned out niceR ly. Foot ball is a non professional 1 sport, a form of athletics confined alB most exclusively to colleges and S schools, and chiefly for that reason 3 it has risen in popularity to over1 shadow, every other branch of athB^.. * letics and become the one great R American college game. It is not so | common as base ball and therefore a _ game which spectators usually nave to be educated up to, a real man's sport, which once understood grips and thrills its onlookers with sensational excitement and admiration, red blooded, vigorous, virile and manly. No faculty, however able and thorough, no alumni, however great and eminent, no endowment; however large, no combined force of as sets, can broadcast the name and prove the magnificent advertisement +V. ^ <->ii fpir) q xi-nrlfnr anv cr>'hrw?l BZJ - IU liio uuioiub "vi?u KSuJ-*^ ^ tor college as a fine foot ball team. It >v . is unquestionably the best advertise@ ment that any school can command. Hk~But its success lies not alone in the hoys who compose the Dlaying Ir'v mkp t strength of its eleven; their achievements depend greatly upon the whole hearted backing, support and cooperation of a large number of spectators to view and take pride in their performances. The first foot ball game ever played in Bamberg was staged by the warriors of Carlisle and Orangeburg high, doing battle with s-rim determination, yet no ex perience, in the fall of 1914, no longer than seven years ago. People here hardly knew a foot ball from a dish rag then, and the paid admis- j sions at that game wouldn't buy a j sandwich from the Apollo Music club stand on the fair grounds. But it is a mighty healthy sign to note that each year since the interest manifested in the game has materially increased until now foot ball has fiTmly established itself in Bamberg as a permanent institution supported by the people and furnished by our wide awake schools. It bodes good for the future of both schools and it is also safe to predict that with the spirit of our people along such lines it won't be very long before some of the best college teams in the state will be brought here to do battle at Rhoad Park for the honor of their respective institutions in the great old college sport. The rah rah boys deserve our patronage. ? 1 KEARSE BUREAU Personal Mention. Kearse, November 29.?Mrs. H. S. Kearse and little son, Franklin, left on Sunday for a visit to her old home at Marion. Mrs. G. W. Jenny and children, of Fairfax, visited at the home of Mrs. B. V. Kearse last week. -Miss Rosa Hightower spent the week-end with her parents in the Denmark section. Mrs. N. P. Smoak, who ihas been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kearse, has returned to her home in Bamberg. Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Brabham, of Olar, visited at the home of H. B. Breland on Thursday. Garland Smoak, Miss Gertrude Smoak and Mrs. E? A. Smoak, of Bamberg, visited Mrs. J. O. Ritter last week. Rav <T r Pftftlor filled his regular appointment at Kearse churah. on Sunday. Thip was his last appointment before going to conference. Demonstration Clnb Meets. The Woman's Home Demonstra-J tion club met with Mrs. A. W. Brabham Friday afternoon at three o'- J clock. Miss Varn, county agent, was present, also Mrs. Camel, who so ably represents our state work. Mrs. Camel gave an interesting talk on conveniences and improvements in our kitchens, where we women folks spend part of our time. Now, the things she spoke of were not costly things to be ordered from factories, for if such had been the case her words would have been "wasted on the desert air" these days. On the other hand, they were simple little "st??) savers" which the modern housewife with a little ingenuity ^an construct herself. After the talk, Mrs. Brabham served a delicious salad course with coffee. Bride-Elect Honored. On Tuesday afternoon from tiree IU 11 Vt;, .>Ub5 JZiLtlC ivcai 3C CUIC1 valued with a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Agnes Kearse. The affair was simple and informal, the decorations consisting of potted plants, mosses and chrysanthemums. The guests were met on the porch and taken to the living room, where they tendered their greetings and good wishes to the bride-elect. After the greetings, etc, Misses "Jink" Lynes and Annie Mae Myers came in bearing a huge laundry basket containing dainty and useful gifts for the bride. Then followed a guessing contest which afforded much amusement for all; each guest being allowed a guess as to the contents of a pack age, before tbey were openea up uy the bride. However, it was proved that we weren't clever guessers, as the gift often proved to be quite different from what he guess had been. A salad course with coffee was served by Misses Zelina and Bell Breland, Jink Lynes and Annie Mae Myers. Ma's Scheme. "Ma wants two pounds of butter exactly like that you sent us last week. If it ain't exactly like that she won't take it." The grocer turned to his customer, and remarked blandly: "Some people don't like particular customers, but I do. It's mv delight to get them just what they want. I will attend to you in a minute my boy." "All right," said the boy, "but be sure and get the same kind.

Assassination of j Policeman Attempted I I What was a dastardly attempt at a deplorable tragedy, a cold blooded i murder, came perilously near being j successful in Denmark at an early j .hour yesterday morning. Denmark's! night policeman, Floyd Lancaster,', was shot by an unknown would-be assissin, but fortunately Mr. Lancas-1 ter was not dangerously wounded. He was shot with, a steel bullet, the missile piercing the right wrist. No bones I were broken, and Mr. Lancaster will only be without the use of his hand j for a short while. He emptied his j revolver at his assailant, but without | effect. Tihe sheriff was called to the scene! about two o'clock Wednesday morning, but no evidence sufficient to in- ( I criminate any one could be gathered.' and consequently no arrests have; been made in connection with the crime. The guilty party was evidently fa-1 miliar with the customary rounds of I the night policeman. It seems that j in the rear of one of the Denmark banks there is a fence with a bigj hole in it and Mr. Lancaster's cus-! I t/vm xx7oq tn jm thrnnerli that hnlft in making his beat. When shot he had ( started through the hole, only get-j ting his hand through, and the as- j sailant evidently thinking the white spot was his face, fired. The result, was as stated above.
