I Dr. Daniel Given A Cordial Receptior Dr. J. Walter Daniel, the new pas tor of Trinity Methodist church, wai extended a cordial welcome to Bam berg at a very impressive service 01 Sunday evening. Dr. Daniel with hi< family arrived in Bamberg Thursday He preached at Trinity church Sun day morning, this being his first ser vice here. He was greeted by a larg< congregation Sunday morning. Th< ; nwwnn f welcome service was anaugcu iui Sunday evening, the Baptist and Pres byterian churches calling in their reg ular services and joining with th( Methodists-in welcoming the new anc distinguished pastor. H. C. Folk presided over the welcome services Sunday evening. Special music by the choir, including twc violin selections by Captain Freeman accompanied on piano and organ added much to the service. Aftei prayer and a song by the congregation, Mr. Folk introduced the various speakers as follows: On behalf of the Methodist church Sunday school and other activities oj Trinity church, S. A. Merchant. On behalf of the city of Bamberg. Mayor LaVerne Thomas. On ibehalf of the young people oi the city, Prof. E. Paul Allen, superintendent of the city schools. On behalf of Carlisle school, Col, W. C. Duncan, headmaster. On behalf of the Presbyterian church and congregation, E. H. Henderson, member board of elders. On behalf of the Baptist church and congregation, Rev. O. B. Falls, D. D., pastor. These short addresses of welcome were in a fine spirit of fellowship, and the best interests of the city were pledged to the support of Dr. Daniel in his work for the advancement oi the kingdom in Bamberg. Each speaker pledged the support of the activity he represented in furthering the cause of God and the uplift of the people of this city. The response by Dr. Daniel was characteristic of the man. It was filled with humor and yet had the un mistakable tone of appreciation of the manner of his reception in Bamberg. He said that he comes to Bamberg above all things to serve his Lord, and that nothing can staDd in the way of that. He loves Methodism but loves none the less the brethren of other denominations, and he ex peCtS to put tortU rns Dest euueavurs for his church and for the cause ot religion in this city and territory. Dr. Daniel asked the whole-hearted support of all the people here, and reminded his hearers that he is a stranger here. He wants to become acquanited with all the people and expects to do so. 'Dr. Daniel comes to Bamberg from Trinity church, Sumter. He easily ranks as one of the state's leading ministers of God; in his manner he is jovial but dignified, and in the pulpit he is a power for righteousness. Bamberg is indeed fortunate in the conference sending a preacher of such ability to this city. $(egro Seriously Injures Jlnoiher Sunday Night OiotHo M-nrtror onlnrpd. an 6m VUtti ; , ployee of the commissioners of public works of this city, was shot and seriously wounded Sunday night by Minyard Odom, another negro. .Moorer was shot with a pistol, the ball puncturng the intestines.

Death of John Gilliam Hill. Denmark, Dec. 16.?John Gilliam Hill, one of Denmark's most loved and honored men and a devout Christian, died at his home Thursday evening, after an illness of two weeks with influenza. He was 76 years old. He was a son of the late Benjamin Davis and Nancy Fryer Hill of Geor gia. He was born in Augusta, January 16, 1847, His father before the confederate war was a noted leader and was one of the wealthiest land and slave owners of the state. He joined the army at the age of 15 years and served in Company E, Cobb's legion, Wofford's brigade in the Army oi Northern Virginia until the close of the war. He was color bearer sergeant in his company and was with General Lee at Appomattox at the surrender.

Graded School i Holidays Begin The Christmas holidays for the 3 kiddies of Bamberg are now on. Fri day the graded school dismissed the i classes for two weeks. The holiday ' ~ ~ + + tVlQT? {JnH ^ SGdSUIl a little eo>i iivi luuii MUv* cipated on account of the prevalence - of much influenza in the city. While - the epidemic is quite light compared 5 to former epidemics, it is neverthe5 less quite broadcast throughout the r city, and for the past several weeks the attendance has .been much small er than usual on account of either ' students or members of their families i having the "flu." Due to this fact, the trustees deem ed it wise to dismiss for the holidays - a few days earlier than usual. The > holidays will last until January 1, > when studies will be resumed, giv? ing the teachers and students two weeks' vacation. i?I ? 5 Mrs. Jane Knopf.

Some time ago the town council of Olar , voted to give electric current privi, leges to this concern, and bonds have been voted for the purpose of erecting the necessary wiring for this purpose. The Herald is now preparing to print the bond issue, and very soon the money will be in hand. The Denmark concern is now installing an additional (boiler and a new generating unit, and it is stated ( that the concern will be well equipped for furnishing all necessary light and power to the good town of Olar. It is stated from Denmark that contracts have been signed with three other towns to supply power. Mr. Easterling, manager of the Edisto Public Service company, is working on a proposition to dam the Edisto river for the purpose of furnishing hydro-electric power. He bei lieves that the plan is entirely feasible, and that at no greatly distant day his plans will be incorporated into an active hydro-electric plant. Weevil Remedies. The Bamberg Herald, commenting on the fact that in spite of seasons as unfavorable as have ever been experienced the Bamberg county cotton growers produced nearly 50 per cent more cotton this year than last, says that many of the Bamberg farmers "are emerging from the dark period already," and adds: "The Herald is satisfied that if there had not been so many confusing methods of weevil control broadcasted the production of cotton this year would have been greater." We think that this is true in other places than Bamberg county and it can hardly be doubted that the diver' sity of counsel which the farmers have had in this matter of how to' fight the boll weevil has worked harm 1 oftener than otherwise. But in a situation where the experts are still at cross purposes and where admittedly much experimentation yet remains to be done it is no wonder that tyros everywhere should be tempted to try their hand. Nor is it strange that' : everywhere should be tempted to try) their hand, nor is it strange that every j report of some new plan of weevil' ' control should be seized upon and studied eagerly by those who have seen their cotton yield decimated in a year.?News and Courier. m * m i ? i Presumably. Twelve-year-old William showed t up at home in a rather badly battered condition. "Oh William," his mother cried, "you've been fighting with that Jones : boy again." "Howdja know, ma?" William in: quired calmly. "Did they call in his relatives?" Official Cotton Ginning Figures Official announcement of cotton ginning figures to December 1, shows the total ginned in South Carolina to that date 493,001 bales, and to the same date last year, 734,705 bales. Ginnings for counties in this section are as follows: 1922 1921 Aiken 13,993 13,655 Allendale 6,067 4,331 Bamberg 5,596 3,902 Barnwell 8,391 7,795 Calhoun 3.377 5,014 Hampton 4,551 2?892 Orangeburg 13,839 17,475 No figures are given in the official report for Colleton or Dorchester A/Ml n f 1QC V/V/ UU tiWOi It is interesting to note the figures for the various counties, as it indicates the progress of the boll weevil north. With only one or two exceptions, all of the coastal counties, from Bamberg south, show an increased production of cotton over 1921. On the other hand, with very few exceptions, all of the counties north of Bamberg show a decreased production. Orangeburg and Calhoun, two of the bumper cotton counties of the state, produced much less cotton. The Piedmond and Pee I>ee counties are the greatest sufferers this year, practically every one showing an alarming decrease. ^ For instance, Anderson county last year produced more than 60,000 bales, whereas this year it produced a little more than 37,000 bales. Dillon last year made 33,000 bales, and this year made less than 14,000 bales. 'Prank W ith Pistol; Two Are Wounded As a result of pranking with a pistol in the ibarber shop of Sam Williams, on Railroad avenue, Tuesday afternoon, two negro Doys, mniory Green and Earl Se^se, were more or less injured. Bradley Kearse was handling the weapon at the time, it is said, when it was discharged. The bullet struck Green, going entirely through the flesh part of his leg. The ball, after going through Green's pedal appendage lodged in the knee cap of Sease, and both boys were quite painfully, though not badly hurt. It is said that the shooting was entirely accidental. j Mock Wedding a Success. j One of the most laughable entertainments presented in Bamberg in a 1 long time was the "Darktown Wedding," at the Carlisle auditorium last Friday evening. The affair was gotten up for the benefit of the Woodrow Wilson memorial fund, the chairman of which is Mrs. W. A. Klauber. As a result of the entertainment the fund was given a nice boost in Bamberg. The various characters, some fifteen or twenty of them, were portrayed in an excellent manner. Capt. Freeman was the clergyman, Col. -Duncan the ibride and C. E. Black the groom. Musical numbers by a quartette, piano selections by Mrs. Roy Cooner, and cornet renditions by Capt. Freeman added much to the entertainment of the evening. The whole cast did their parts so well, it would be difficult to make special mention of them. INDIGNITY TO KING. British Monarch is Burned in Effigy In England. King George of England was burned in effigy and police reserves from two stations were beaten off as a climax to a parade of 5,000 Irish re! publican sympathizes in London, Sun; day night. The parade started following a meeting protesting against the imprisonment by the Irish Free State of Mary McSwiney. Miss McSwiney's brother, Paul, was among the speakers. Police attempted to break up the parade when it was learned that no permit was obtained, but they were beaten back by men and women wielding olubs. Two policemen were knocked out and disarmed. Attempts to break up the parade were not successful, as the paraders were strengthened by hundreds of curious who did not seem to know what ! it was all about, but followed. When a dummy of King George was set ablaze, a fire alarm was turned in, but the effigy was destroyed before the engines arrived. Police asked that a hose be turned on the crowd but the firemen refused. It was midnight before the crowd dispersed of its own accord. iMiss Madaleine Symons, who has come rapidly into prominence as a leader in the women's trade union, is the youngest member of the executive of the National Labor party [ in Great Britain.
