Street Lighting in St. Louis.
Somewhat more than a year ago
the civic league of St. Louis appointed
a committee to investigate the
question of street lighting in that
city. This committee has just made
an exhaustive report, and in their
report it is stated that the city pays
$97.50 per arc lamp a year and $19.65
for each incandescent. The committee
discussed the matter of establishing
a municipal plant, and advised
against it if proper rates and
service could be secured from private
companies. They estimated that the
cost of municipal lighting would be
2% cents a kilowatt hour, or about
$69 per arc lamp per year. Bamberg
* * *? o O rot O
is iurmsmng its aiu lawpo ? ?. t??v
of $60 a year, and yet in a city the
size of-St. Louis they estimate* that
each lamp would cost $69 a year if
furnished by a municipal plant. From
these figures it seems that Bamberg
is getting its street lights very cheap.
County Campaign Meetings.
Two more county campaign meetings
have been arranged for by County
Chairman H. C. Folk. The people
of the Farrell's X Roads section asked
for a meeting, and Wednesday, August
5th, was fixed as the day. The
meeting will be held at Farrell's X
Roads. At the suggestion of Senator
J. B. Black, president of the local
club, the Bamberg meeting has been
fixed for Thursday, August 20th.
This meeting is for Thursday before
the first primary, which is to
take place, Tuesday, August 25th.
No meeting has been asked for by
the Olar voters.

Dr. J. B. Black, state senator from
Bamberg county, after taking in the

Delightful Entertainment.
A party of young people were delightfully
entertained llast Thursday
afternoon by Mrs. B. W. Simmons
in honor of Misses Celia and Dora
Hiers, of Atlanta, and Elberta Hill,
of Sanford, Fla.
The afternoon's entertainment consisted
of a most enjoyable outing, the
party taking a straw ride to the banks
of the Edisto, where boat riding and
Ashing were enjoyed by all until late
afternoon, when a light course of refreshments
was served.
Miss Elberta Hill won the laurels
of the day at fishing, ^having successfully
bagged the greatest number of
the finny tribe. .After the refreshments
were served the party were
driven back to town in a happy- frame
of mind and all expressed themselves
as having spent a very pleasant afternoon.
;
Thdse present were: Misses Celia
and Dora Hiers, of Atlanta, Elberta
Hill, of Sanford, Fla., Annie Halford,
of Blackville, Arrie Hiers, Evelyn
Free, Mortima Ray, Mallie Patrick,
and Mrs. B. W. Simmons; Messrs.
Hansford, Simms and Norman Fenier,
and H. N. Folk of Bamberg, and
W. C. Patrick, of Columbia.
Knights of Pythia^l
There was a delightful meeting of
Bamberg lodge, No. 38, Knights of
Pythias, last Monday evening. The
rank of Page , was conferred on Mr.
T. A. Mitchell, and the stereopticon
vas used in the initiation. This is
in excellent machine, being operated
yy electricity, and the pictures add
nuch to the ceremonies. The lodge
visely decided to purchase the machine,
and other slides for the Knight
ank will be procured. Those mem>ers
who have not been attending
ihould come out and note how much
;he illustrations add to the degree
rork. The officers are not using the
>U..n1a ?<vnr and f Vl ifl a BTPnt i rn -
liuaio UUTT , UUU VU40 ?w ? D.
>rovement. We trust they will con;inue
to perfect themselves in the
vork until Bamberg lodge has as fine
i degree team as there is in the State.
Under the head of good of the orler,
Brother Frank P. Cooper, of Cal- 1
loun lodge,. Charleston, was present
>y invitation, and made a most adnirable
address. He told the story
>f the origin of Pythianism, and eximplified
the secret work in a mas- ;
erly way. He is one of the brightest
f not the very brightest Knight in
he State, and his exemplification
>f the work is entirely new. Every
tnight in the State ought to hear
lim. t
Brother Cooper is chairman of the
rhornwell Memorial Commission, he 'i
>eing appointed to this position at 1
he recent session of the grand lodge
n Aiken. The object of this comnission
is to raise a fund during the '
current year for a memorial to the
nemory of the late Dr. J. H. Thornveil,
who was grand keeper of recirris
and . and one of the most
jeloved members of the order in this
State. This commission will also re;ommend
to the grand lodge the form
;he memorial shall take. It is projosed
to raise by contributions of the
nembers throughout the State a fund
)f $12,000 or more and a report will
ae made at the meeting of the grand
odge in Charleston next May.
Brother Cooper explained the matter
:horoughly, and we feel sure that
svhen the report is made Bamberg
lodge will not be found lacking in
paying this tribute of love and affection
to that grand old man and Pythian.
It was a great pleasure for the
members of Bamberg lodge to have
Brother Cooper with them, and he
svas cordially thanked for his address
and exemplification of the work by
i rising vote. He told the members
many things about the order which
they never knew before. He returned
to Charleston Tuesday morning,
and we all regretted that his stay
among us was so short. He will receive
a warm welcome whenever he
visits us.

Mr. CooBts'a Pine Crop. *
Last week we published an article
in reference to the fine crop of Mr.
D. H. Counts, of Laurens. Mr.
Counts is now spending the summer
with his family at Hendersonville,
N. C., and a few days ago Maj. Joe.
T. Ligon, of Laurens, wrote him the
following in regard to his crop:
Laurens, S. C., July 22, 1908.
Dear Sir: Mr. Bolt had your sorrel
horse harnessed up this morning
and we drove out and looked at your
corn and cotton. While your corn
does not appear to be suffering for
moisture, a good soaking in a few
days would be beneficial, and I believe
will make from 60 to 75 bushPrvtffin
flno onH lnnWa
cis yci ai/i c. w^wu uuv muu ?w?w
to me will make an average of one
bale to the acre. Fortunate that all
farmers have not as good crops as
yours, if so cotton would not bring
over five cents this fall and corn not
over thirty cents per bushel.
Yours truly
JOE T. LIGON.
Attended Family Reunion.
Mr. W. G. Sease has just returned

Mr. R. M. Hays Dies Suddenly.
Greenwood, July 22.?A telegram
from Chase City, Va., late this afternoon
conveyed the sad message to
Greenwood people that R. M. Hays
was dead, he having suffered a stroke
! of paralysis shortly after noon today,
| dying at 5:30 p. m. Mrs. Hays was
with him at the time of his death,
they having gone to this Virginia
summer resort last week. The news
came as a shock to this community
for only to-day a letter was received
from Mrs. Hays to a friend, stating
that Mr. Hays was improving.
Mr. Hays was one of Greenwood's
foremost citizens, having been closely
identified with the business interests

lie having moved here from Bamberg.
Only last week he resigned the presidency
of the Farmers' and Merchants'
bank on account of his health,
however," retaining his interests in
several other business enterprises.
Mr. Hays was about 49 years old.
The interment will take place at
Bamberg, his old home.
Railroad Crossings Need Attention.
To the Foreman of the Grand Jury:
I respectfully call your attention to
the public road crossings over the
railroads in this county, and especially
to the crossing about two miles
North-west of the town of Bamberg.
This crossing is in a bad condition,
asd has been for some time. The
County Supervisor called the atten
tion of the railroad authorities to it,
and they sent there and pretended
to fix it, and I am frank to say that
I believe they left it'in a worse condition.
It needs new flooring where
the hands only threw a little dirt and
left it.
The grade at that crossing is very
steep, as well as at others in the
county. The law requires (section
378, Vol. I, Code 1902) that railroads
shall fix, crossings as directed
by the overseer or be subject to a
fine of $50.00; also where the railroad
crosses a public road on grade,
the law requires, that the rise shall
-* i "1/ ?ha wul
not U*J UVC1 I 72 IVDt lu WIS IVU v A v /A
feet.) I doubt if there is a road
crossing in the county that complies
with the law. x
Now, Mr. Foreman, it is your duty,
acting in concert with the other
grand jurors, to see that the crossings
are built in compliance with law,
and I am sure that every farmer and
every citizen who travels the roads
will endorse your action in forcing
the railroads to build road crossings
in compliance with law.
I have no complaint to make against
the Supervisor, for I know of my
own knowledge, that he has notified
the railroads time and again to repair
their crossings and they simply
go there and shovel a little dirt and
leave. In other words hit a lick and
a promise that a lick to-day with a .
promise to do a little to-morrow, but
tomorrow never comes. I know of (
nothing more Important to the travel- .
ing public than good road crossings
over railroads. I know of nothing i
that will make a man forget his Sun- .
day-school teaching quicher than a
mean crossing. So I call upon you, i
Messrs. Grand Jurors, to assist our (
able Supervisor to make the railroads
build proper crossings. CITIZEN. <

A CARD.
To the voters of Bamberg County:
Gentlemen?On account of business
in my office and x>ther unavoidable
circumstances it will be Impossible

You all know me, as I was born

of the county. Now, I ask the welldone
of the people by electing me

Miraculous Escape.
A special from Gaffney says: "Yesterday
afternoon about three o'clock
little Walter Sarratt and his brother,
who is younger than he, were playing
over an old disused well, several hundred
yards away from his father's
house, when the boards which covered
the mouth of the well gave way,
precipitating Walter to the bottom,
a distance of 75 feet, and at the bottom
of which was seven feet of water.
The younger child at once ran
to the house to inform his father,
Mr. Boyd Sarratt, of the accident to
his brother. The father, almost
frightened out of his wits, started for
the scene of the accident expecting
to find his son at the bottom of the
well, but judge of his surprise and
relief when he met the boy coming
to the house. The little fellow had
crawled to the top after having gone
to the bottom. The only injury which
he sustained was an abrasion on the
back of his head. The well was walled
with atones and the child, who
was in his bare feet, had climbed the
wall and gotten out without assistance."
Carroll Found in Jacksonville.
Columbia, July 23.?A telegram
to attorney General Lyon to-day stated
that J. P. Carroll wanted by the
State supreme court on the charge of
having violated an injunction order,
had been caught in Jacksonville. Carroll
kept a place in Market street,
Charleston, and at the last session of
the supreme court affidavits were
presented by the attorney general to
show that he had sold liquors after
he had been enjoined against this
violation of law. An order for arrest
for contempt has been issued and
Carroll will have to remain in jail
until the supreme court meets and
passes on his case.
