Call and get his s : prices. \ Bamberg has been visited recently by f 1 manj^tfatups and fakirs, a number of them being these fellows who pretend to be crippled or injured and are begging a living. They are simply too lazy to work, and council should prohibit tiieir opcratL ing here, as they go around to private ' houses and trouble the ladies, oftentimes \ being impertinent. ( Do not fail to call at the Bamberg ' r Pharmacy when looking for a holiday : present. Their line is handsome and I complete. We feel sure that no apology is needed I to our readers for this week's issue. Printing the paper a day earlier throws us out j: some in the way of news, and, then this is Christmas. Our force, from proprietor to ; office boy, has been worked exceptionally hard for the past few months, not even i taking Thanksgiving Day, and we are surely entitled to a little rest. The Bamberg Pharmacy can please the most fastidious in the matter of holiday goods. The colored people of this community are preparing to celebrate Emancipation Day here next Wednesday, January 1st. The exercises will be held at Thankful Baptist church, and the address will be delivered b}'S. E. Smith, of Charleston, i An attractive program has been arranged. There will also be exercises at Mt. Carmel Methodist church Wednesday night, when a lecture will be delivered l>y Rev. T. J. Clarke. Their white friends are cordially invited to attend all the ? exercises. I I.I ... I A Preacher in Trouble. Rev. Peter Smith, a colored preacher of Ms place, got into trouble in Charleston rt?ently. He was in that city attending the annual conference of the A. M. E. chu^h, and tried to pass a spurious ten dollar*,jn on Mr. J. L. Karesli, who formerly livi-j in Bamberg. We take the following cfyping from an exchange in regard to the affair: "The Rev.Peter Smith, colored, said to j be a delegate crom Bamberg to the A. M. E. Conference,now assembled in Charleston, at a church on Glebe street, was arrested by the police Tuesday, and locked up at the Station Kouse on a charge of attempting to pass a spurious ten-dollar note on J. L. Karesh, salesman employed by Levin <fc Levy, at King and Morris streets. The minister stoutly maintains , his innocence and declares that the coun- j terfeit was given hinrby some one who asked him to change the bill. The figures from a Confederate ten-dollar note are pasted over the numbers on the face of a genuine one-dollar greenback. The moment Karesh looked at the bill when it was handed over by the preacher in payment for some goods he detected the fake. He went out and called in policeman Miland, who took charge of Smith." We know Smith, and have had business dealings with him. We hardly thiuk he would knowingly attempt to pass bad money, and it is probable that the bill was passed on him by some rascal, as he is an ignorant negro. Masonic Election. At the regular meeting of Ornan Lodge, A. F. M., held last Friday evening, the following officers were elected to serve for the coming year: Jno. R. Bellinger, W. M.; J. Crum Bmoak, S. W.; E. L.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of Bamberg Banking Company was held at the bank building last Friday, the 20th. The affairs of the institution were found to | be in most excellent shape, and an annual s dividend of eight per cent was declared, ' payable the first of January. The follow- < ing were elected as the board of directors: ] T*I -?c T-fc 1 T* T> XT T TV I jr . ju. joamuerg, x>. x\. xiuj:?, ?x. xj. land, J. B. Black, and H. J. Brabliam. Tiie stockholders' meeting then adjourned, and the directors immediately held a session. Capt. W. A. Riley, who has been connected with the bank for so long, handed I in the following letter of resignation : To the Board of Directors of the Bamberg Banking Co.?Gentlemen: On account of impaired health, I have thought it best to stop working in the bank, and so notified Mr. Brabham the first of October last, thereby giving the managing authorities ample time to have some one prepared to fill my place. I wish now to make this resignation in a formal way and have same recorded in your minutes. I lay down this work with the consciousness of having performed all the duties assigned me faithfully and honestly. I have given you fourteen of the best years of my life. I have grown gray and worn in your service, it is not asking too much, therefore, that you give me some expression of commendation to which I may point with pride in my declining years and which may be kept as an honorable heirloom by my family in the years to come. I leave you with the kindest feelings and best wishes, ever hoping for your continued prosperity. Respectfully, W. A. Riley. The board of directors reluctantly accepted his resignation, and, as showing ? the high esteem in which he was held by c them, the following preamble and resolu tions were unanimously adopted : "Whereas, Capt. "W. A. Hiley, on the first day of October last, notified the president p of this bank of his intention to resign the ? position of cashier, to take effect on 1 January 1st, 1902; and -whereas, he has ( now tendered to this bank his formal res- ( ignation ; and whereas, such resignation K has been caused by the condition of Capt. C Riley's health and his wish to engage in I active out-door employment; therefore, t be it resolved by the board of directors of t Bamberg Banking Company: c 1st. That they reluctantly and with a deep regret accept the said resignation. I 2nd. That they desire to place on re- I cord their high appreciation and com- t mendation of the manner in which Capt. h Riley for the past fifteen years has dis- b charged his duties as an officer of this o bank. 3rd. That he is assured of the good c will and heartfelt friendship of each b member of this board, and carries with 1 him in his new field of labor their best d wishes for his speedy restoration to health r and for a long life of usefulness, happi- n ness, and prosperity. s 4th. That this preamble and these res- a olutions be spread upon our minutes and v a copy furnished to Capt. Riley. d An election of officers for the ensuing [ year was then held, following being elect- ^ ed: H. J. Brabham, president; E. R. p Hays, vice-president; D. F. Hooton, a cashier; Henry J. Brabham, Jr.,assistant ? cashier. Mr. Hooton has been assistant cashier for many years, and his promotion is a deserved compliment to his ability, and . integrity. His host of friends are pleased ' at his promotion, feeling that the bank p officials have only rewarded his faithful e services. That he will make a most ef- c ficient cashier goes without saying. Mr. ^ Brabham is a most estimable young man, i\ who will make a competent assistant cash- n ier. The bank is well officered, and will no ^ doubt be as successful in the future as it has been in the past. a Dilapidated Aristocracy. g "I am the son of John William Blank," & said a youth as he walked into a crowd of "w men, bis breath heavily ladened with e whiskey and his step unsteady.

As soon as your strength gives out or rather you are closed out, you will see your disaster. But why take such chances ? You get no better goods from others by paying more than you need pay us. On the contrary, you are more likely to get an inferior article, for we are very particular as to the material that goes into our BUGGIES, WAGONS, HARNESS, etc., while we keep the manufacturer up to the highest standard of workmanship, below which he l-ii/Mito li/-i nnmi if rvr\ Tf it: Tint crt Inno" clnoo iro IV11W U ri 1H" VtlHll JL &V'* a 11 nvi/ ov ivii^ uinvv ii opened lip business here, but to look at our sales, you would think \Ve were the only people in this country selling Buggies, Wagons Harness, etc. Let us hold the wolf for you. 2uattlebaum & Dannelly, EIIMIARDT, S.
