? |i Truckers of The J County Organize At a meeting which was largely attended and held in the court house here last Thursday afternoon the Bamberg County Truck Growers association was formally organized and launched into a reality. With ^he havoc wrought by the boll weevil our progressive farmers realize that in the stability of organization and cooperation alone lies the secret of success and the future salvation of this community; they understand that v -; other crops htan cotton, now dethroned as king, must be raised; t.\.. they know that various kinds of truck can be successfully grown right here; but successfully and prifitable are two distinct qualifications, and the profit is what counts; and everybody feels that in organizing to create a market and protect the planters and growers the key to the situation has been obtained and the problem will be solved. To be successful in any endeavor every enterprise must of necessity first be organized; if that is properly done on a progressive ba sis half the battle is won. And any Bamberg county farmer who cherish'es prosperity in the future should by aH means and in all haste become a member of ! the Bamberg County Truck Growers association. The p.-.' cost is insignificant; the bigger the association the better for its members; there is all to be gained; nothing to any appreciable extent can ; possibly be lost. Pruit growers in other states never blossomed into _ bountiful prosperity and blissful in' dependence until just such organiza tions were formed. Truck growers in this and other states produced much harvest for the market, but their : profits never mounted into the fabulous sums which they now reach until V they became organized. And so it has been with the history of every BSjyfe- other large .farming industry every* where except king cotton, and cotton alone as a money crop has completely igone to the bow wows. A great step forward 'has been taken; the right men are behind it, and in this pioneer movement this community is going to be successful. Bk- 4 At the meeting a suitable set of HKLx V. I by-laws successfully tried in other sections was adopted, some money : was placed in the treasurer's hands, and everything proper was done to start the organization to functioning. The following named prominent farmers and business men of the county compose the board of directors: B. P. Free, W. A. Klauber and G. E. Bamberg, of Bamberg, C. W. Fogle, of Denmark. H. B. Grimes, of Lees. IB. P. Hartzog and W. B. Chitty, of '5-: -Olar, and M. W. . Rente and J. M. Kirkland, of Ehrhardt. These directors elected as officers the following: President, W. A. Klauber, vicek W president, W. B. Chitty, secretary v and treasurer, H. N. Folk, of Bam . Another meeting of ?he association !wiii De neia nere m cne court nouse on Monday, January 2nd, 1922, at * "Which many matters of importance will be taken mp and discussed, and it Is believed much benefit will accrue ; - therefrom. Everybody who expects to plant any truck and who is not aU reaJdy a member is urged for his own good, for the good, of the association and for the good of the communi ty to become one then or before. A. M. Brabham, of this city, presided at the organization meeting as temporary chairman. \ Fire Cracker Shot Recklessly. Saturday night while the fireworks display was taking place on Main street, Mrs. H. h. Hlnnant, of this city, suffered a more pr less serious and extremely painful injury. Mrs. Hinnant wasi in her car diagonally across the street from the city hall enjoying the festivities when some* body, foolhardy and in utter disregard of all prudence, threw a lighted cannon cracker directly in her car. The missile exploded right in the unfotunate young lady's face, her right eye being seriously affected. She was v' rushed into a drug store and medical sfcill rendered immediate aid. At first * it was thought that her sight might . possibly be permanently impaired,% and even the following day, Christmas, Mrs. 'Hinnant had no vision with the injured eye. However, the injured member has since greatly improv ed, and she has gradually had her' L v sight restored and the eye will doubtI less soon be all right again. But this ga was a deplorable, inexcusable and al| together unnecessary occurrence. It t is fortunate that the eye was not lost, f? and such accidents should by all . means be guarded against in the full ture. Of course, no harm was intendf ed, but it was worse than careless! ness, and the result might be worse next urne. 1. A Long Parting. He: Why are you so sad, darling?

'" A Two Are Charged , With Housebreaking Harry Lawson and Sam Isaacs, two young negroes, are in the county jail charged with housebreaking and larceny. The alleged crime was committed Saturday night at the home of Sam Zimmerman on Carlisle street. xxtvirtn r moc otaiti o" *? lieu i^. mou yy ao hame Saturday night after closing his store, he noticed as he neared the house two persons coming out of his yard, and another joined them on the sidewalk- This aroused his suspicion, V. /% rv> n m i rvn In f Arl no v? c /"v t O t auu lie uiauipuiaicu 1110 tai o w iuul the headli-ght was thrown upon them. Two immediately turned their faces away from the light, which elicited further suspicion. He watched the men and noted the direction theyj followed, and then hastily entered his home, where he found burglars 'had been at work, having entered through a window. He at once called Sam and Clyde Rowell to his assistj a* f at? ii'nn f in CH1UC, <3.11 U LU5CIUC1 nic.< ?' cui. ill search of the parties. One of the trio he recognized on the street, and he was taken in the car. He told who the others were, and after riding about town for a while the two were located and apprehended, both denying any connection with the burglary, and even denying they ever saw the first negro caught, but they were all placed in the town jail for the night, and Monday were placed in the county jail on a warrant. Sam was satisfied the negro boy who assisted in locating thp other two was in no wav connect ed with the affair, and had him released. 'While Mr. Zimmerman is delighted to have caught the men who it seems certain are the guilty ones, yet he is rather glad-he did not get home any earlier. When Harry Lawson was forced to get in the automobile at the point of a gun, he was searcnea and an automatic pistol was found in his pocket, whicli might have been effectively used had he been caught in the act of burglary. Harry will, therefore,, have an additional charge of carrying an unlawful weapon to answer in the higher court. Mr. Zimmerman did not miss anything from his home, it being evident that the party was in search of money or other valuables, but all drawers had been opehed and the contents scattered. However a house key was stolen, which will be sufficient to add a charge of larceny to that of housebreaking in the night time, the burglary having occurred about 11 o'clock Saturday night. DIED IN COLUMBIA FRIDAY. Mi's. D. R. Matheny Passes Away After Long Illness. Mrs. F. 1. Matheny, relict of the late Daniel R. Matheny, of this city, passed away last Friday in a Columbia hospital after a protracted illness from which hope for her recovery had been slight for some time. Mrs. Matheny once lived in Blackville, but had made her home in this section for many years. She had hosts of friends wherever sfte had been and mor alan nrnminonHv winnpnfpd And while it was known by her relatives and friends that she was in a critical condition, it was not realized that the end was so near, and therefore her death coming so soon after her removal from her home here to the hospital in Columbia for more skilled treatment and attention was a distinct shock to those most intimately concerned. Mrs. Matheny was taken ill at her home her? some time ago onS all nnaaihlA rriArtirnl aiH was quickly summoned, but she did not appear to improve, and so it was decided to carry her to the hospital as a last resort, fond hope being entertained for her improvement there. The journey was started Friday and very shortly after reaching the hospital that evening she breather her last. Though (gradually growing weaker day in and day out this lovable, courageous woman ever bore her suffering with true Christian fortitude throughout looking forward eternally to the end with a comforting anticipation of the great beyond. Mrs. Matheny was a devout and consecrated Christian, truly an earnest woman of God of whom neither her neighbors nor any one else could ever speak ill words or feelings, and these things were often said of the living as well as now of the dead. She had been a life-long devoted member of the Baptist faith, at the time of her death belonging to the Bamberg Baptist church. The last sad rites were conducted by ber pastor, Rev. George P. White, of the local church, In Blackville Saturday, where the remains were laid in their final abode beside the resting place of her late husband who preceded her to the grave several years ago. The deceased is survived by four children: J. Pinckney Matheny, of Ridgeviile; Raymond Matheny. of Columbia; D. Paul Matheny, of Mt. Pleasant, and Miss Mary Matheny, of this city. Christmas Season Quiet in Bamberg Many people were heard to make the remark: "It doesn't seem like Christmas at all." Probably this was the most quiet Christmas passed in Bamberg in more than a score of years. Hard times may in part, or to a large extern, account tor mat. And yet in sentiment and spirit the real Christmas ideals seemed to be here among us. In gifts, in cards, in kind thoughts of others, peace on earth and good will to mankind seemed to reign supreme, and reflect in abundant evidence the fact that the Prince of Peace came not in vain. And as the Star of Bethlehem still kindles on earth the fires of righteous ness, and has for nearly two thousand years broadcasted the spirit of heavenly love for our little ones, love indeed, for all humanity, so still in this period of financial depression, at this annual period when all the world's civilized peoples bow down in simple tribute and humble gratitude to the Saviour of mankind, these kindly deeds for one another displayed ir? full monsiiro cuqiti ritrht here among our own people in Bamberg the beautifui results of the fact that, "The son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life, a reason for many." Let us then thank God that though simple and sincere Christmas in Bamberg was sane and sacred. \ There were appropriate exercises and services in our churches on Sun day, Christmas day, with the exception of the Presbyterian denomination, and the members of this church united with the other congregations of the city for worship. Practically all stores and business houses were closed on Monday and many of them continued with closed doors on Tuesday, proprietors and employees alike enjoying a rest, a hunt or other diversions. The postoffice employees took the usual holiday period, but the rush of mails was so great that little actual rest was obtained by the employees. All schools had been discontinued for practically two weeks. The cotton mill did not operate Mon| day, while the banks of the city were shut up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Saturday afternoon and evening the streets were thonged with people mostly from the country; no bigger crowd has been seen in the city for more than a year, and business men report a fair business for that day considering the conditions prevailing. The country people remained in town much, later than usual for Christmas eve, and it was not until about ten o'clock that night that the customary fire works bombardment opened up on Main street. This lasted about one hour, and on Sunday everything was as quiet as a mouse. Then again all day Monday intermittent firing was heard. The crowds were probably the most orderly ever seen on our streets during' the "hbliday season, and congratulations are in order that very little whiskey was in evidence, and scarcely any rowdyism. Start the New Year Right; go to Church To the members and friends of the Methodist church:?Next Sunday is the first day of a new year. I want to urge every one of you to be in your place at church Sunday morning and, make it a great occasion when all of us shall meet together at one time. Each one of you make it a point to speak to your neighbor and urge these others to be present. I would like to make the appeal to every man, woman and child in and around Bamberg to attend the church of their Ohoice next Sunday morning. 1 believe such a move would go a'long way towrards settling our community in that peaceful attitude and quiet determination that is surely needed to settle many of the problems that confront us today. S. O.CANTEY, Pastor Methodist Church/ ?Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Martin, of Allendale, spent Wednesday of last week in the city with their daughter, Mrs. R. C. Jones. Their daughter, Miss Lillian Martin, teacher in the graded school ihere, returned home with them to spend the holiday vacation. ?Lucius Bellinger, who recently visited relatives in Charleston for a short period during the holidays, re turned to his Home here the nrst 01 the week, and expects to leave in a day or two for the government camp at Waynes*ille.

Then they had planned to go to their own new little home which they had just finished furnishing and fixing up. They were going to have, their own little Christmas tree there?quite by themselves, and their friends had left their wedding presents and their Christmas presents there, though almost all of the former thev had seen, of course. "Are you almost ready?" It was Mrs. Allen calling up the stairs. "Almost, mother dear," she answered. "You'll be late," her mother called. 'Til hurry," she said. "Do you want any help?" But she had taken longer than she had thought. Yes, if she didn't hurry nrmiM Ka lotftt SHll flho WOUld OilC nvuiu UV 1UW -- have George all her life now. How wonderful it would be ! She wondered if that was why brides were so often late because they felt they had so much time! It was a gloriously happy thought to realize how much time she had. She was only ten minutes late. The few friends were at the Christmas day wedding. And her bouquet was of holly and mistletoe. She had always said she would love to have such a wedding bouquet. It would be so merry and Christmasy and such a happy, gay kind of a bouquet.

They drove away in a low sleigh with jingling bells to the small house. There, by themselvtes, they opened presents. What a glorious time they had. And she had a little surprise for him. Just a little bit of a surprise. But she knew he would like it. "Open that box, there, George," she said. ' He opened it. And looked at some collars, many, many collars, all much too big for him. "When I was buying my wedding clothes in town that time, George, I rememnerea "Why, George, what is the matter? Won't they fit you? Is the size so important?" "My darling little girl," he laughed, "what does it matter what the size is. That is?it does matter about wearing them I'm afraid, my love. But to think you thought of me even when you were getting the wedding fineries and remembered the name or the collar. "They're my Christmas collars," he exclaimed, "and I'll put them away In the b:>x with the Christmas bouquet we're going to save. Such a Christmas gift from a dear little bride should never be mangled by any laundry!" * "What r. silly I am," she laughed gaily. "But such an adorable silly,** George answered as he kissed her, r " - RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. The departure of human life from this into the Great Beyond, whether it be beautiful in mature years and usefulness, or the unfolding uud of the promise and hope of youth, always fills the hearts of loved ones and j friends with sadness and; sorrow. Our hearts are bowed in sorrow because our sister and co-worker, Mts. Delia Baggott Hartzog, has left us, while we feel that the closing of this beautiful life is rest after labor, and peace anu juy aaci ^uuci iug 5>u IUU5. For years she has been a sufferer but bore it all with patience and fortitutde and not once was she heard to complain of her affliction. All that the hands of loved ones could do was ministered to her, trying to woo her beck to health, but vain were all the efforts. The message, "child, come home." was whispered in her listening ear during slumber, and the tired heart throbs ceased and the weary eyes closed to open on eternal beauty and endless joy. Sister Hartzog was a member of our society since its organization and : was a zealous and consecrated work--1 11 _ i_ 1 ^ er as long as sne was pnysicany auie I to work. After she had to give up the active work, she was always interested and it was ever dear to her heart. Therefore, be it.resolved: That in the death of our sister, our hearts are chastened with sorrow as we bow in humble submission'to the will of our Heavenly Father. That in her death the church has lost one of its most consecrated members, the Woman's Missionary society a member who worked for its up building and prayed for its success while her strength lasted. That we emulate her Christian example, following her as she followed Christ in faith and Christian fortitude, ever looking for the reward which we believe is hers. That we extend to the bereaved husband and children our heartfelt sympathies and commend them to the grace of Him who died for all. MRS. R. M. HITT, MRS. C. W. RENTZ, SR., MRS. J. H.
