The school children of Bamberg should be vaccinated, and no child should be allowed to attend a public school who has not been successfully vaccinated. School trustees are requested to have all'teachers, white and colored, register in the superintendent of education's office before drawing any pay warants. The law requires that teachers be registered before beginning to teach. fi -' , Beautiful line of ladies' coat suits and skirts just in at W. D. Rhoad's.

Interest in the monument is on the increase.

And, as this is the only time in your life that you will have the privilege of giving to a Bamberg county Confederate monument, give as generously of your gold and silver and labors, as you and your comrades and your fathers gave of valor fnd heroism. B. Pastor Fights Church Enemies Savannah, Oct. 4.?Rev. W. A. Nisbet, D. D., pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, and Mr. W. A. Pigman, an elder from the curch, left this afternoon for Flemington, where the Savannah Presbytery will hold a session beginning to-night. At this session the recent charges filed against Dr. Nisbet by his deposed elder and deacons will be gone into fully. On the same train with Dr. Nisbet and his elder there went large number of members of the congregation, both men and women who are friendly to him, and also those who are pressing the fight agaihst the pastor. Dr. Nisbet will be represented in the Presbytery when the charges come up against him by Rev. George L. Bitzer, of Valdosta. Rev Charles Montgomery, of Mount Vernon, is the legal representative of the socalled insurgents. Dr. Nisbet has prepared an answer to the charges of incompetency, nonprogressiveness and other things of that character filed against him "by the disgruntled officers of his church, and both sides before leaving Savannah to-night appeared determined to have their contest out to the finish before the body which is to hear the case. The Presbytery will be given over to devotional exercises to-night, and it will be Wednesday afternoon at the earliest before the Westminster trouble is reached. Whole Family Sentenced. Aiken, Sept. 30.?Edna Hodges, her husband, Fred Hodges, and her brother, Dan Lewis, have been sentenced by Judge Memminger to the penitentary.

Library and Reading-Room for Bamberg. 1 Ever since I have been in Bam- , ' berg I have felt the need of a library and reading-room for our young people?and older ones as well. It , is now possible, with a little effort and money, to have such a library, one that would be the source of much help and enjoyment. We have here in school a splendid little library, which with a few ad- ; ditions, could be made to fill a large place in supplying our needs along ; these lines. We have a large, well- < lighted room, down stairs, with a separate street entrance, and which would be well suited for this pur- 1 pose. My plan is to fit this room up, nicely and comfortably?putting in J tables, chairs, lights, etc.; put in all the books we have and can get; sub- ' ertniVko frtr tho leaHinf mne,a7iTies and ^ papers; and maintain a good, work- ! able library and reading-room. The ' school will furnish a librarian, keep- ' ing the lbrary open in the day for 1 our students and at night for the ' citizens of the town. [ The co-operation of all citizens is invited. One hundred or one hun- 1 dred and twenty-five dollars will do this work in good shape, and give us a library to which any of us might be ' proud to Invite our friends. Let us ' begin at once.

Following charges of forgery brought against Rev. C. K. Brown, 1 pastor of Wesley M. E. church, a ^ negro church, situated on the corner \ of Gervais and Sumter streets, the i pastor has been suspended. The sus- i pension was made at a meeting held < in the church yesterday afternoon. Rev. E. D. Burroughs, of Charleston, J district superintendent, presided at the meeting. Columbia is in the Orangeburg district and this charge is under the suDervision of Rev. E. D. Burroughs. At the meeting yester- ( day an investigation was ordered 1 made and a report submitted at the ( annual conference to be held in 1 Greenville, November 23. It is charged that Brown forged the indorsements of six of the nine 1 trustees of the church to several ( notes, the six constituting a majority % of the board of trustees, and dis- ' ... .. . 1 counting the notes aevoiea me money so secured to his own use. The alleged amount involved is $63. Some days ago Brown was directed by the officers of the church to vacate the church parsonage and not to occupy the pulpit again. Another preacher has been put in charge of the church. Brown, it is said, is out of the city. He was not present at the meeting held yesterday afternoon. No criminal proceedings have yet been instituted.?Columbia State. Jingle, jingle, little dime, I'd like to keep you all the time; But you've such a nimble way That I cannot make you stay. .. . ......

Then resume th journey down the river the ne> morning reaching a point near Barr berg that evening, when the busines men of that town will take charge c the party.

Hundreds of Tobacco Planters Fac Ruin. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 1.?Hundred of tobacco planters in the Kentuck field will be ruined as a result c the refusal of the American Tobat co company to bid on the 120,000 000 pounds of the Burley society' 1909 pool, if the announcement c D. R.

Placed Bomb by House. After placing a bomb beside th residence of Mrs. Potter Palmer a Chicago and cutting his coat int shreds with a buthcher knife piercin his skin, Fred Wahlenmeyer, 2 years old, attempted Friday night t gain entrance to the mansion. H was arrested. Wahlenmeyer demanded an aud; ence with Mrs. Palmer, but th watchman, who was the first perso encountered, summoned the police bomb on the side of the house and c having seen another man placing th bomb on the side of th hous and c struggling with him. Later, how ever, the prisoner confessed to ha\ ing put the explosive there himsel and to having cut his clothes to bea Dut the narrative. Mrs. Palmer wa at home at the time and the whol household was thrown into excite ment by the proximity of death or in jury from the bomb. Wahlenmever was questioned fo hours by the police, but refused t explain his motive, hiding behind th expression: "Why did I do it? Ot just for instance." The police will question Mrs Palmer in regard to reports that sh aad received threatening letters, ii :he effort to discover the man's reas an for the act. It is believd tha Wahlenmeyer is not insane. The police are proceeding on th< .heory that he thought to gain a re vard for having "saved" the hous and its occupants from "some mys :erious bomb-thrower" and that hi Mutilation of his clothes was to sub stantiate this claim. Dissolves Exchange Then Rescind Order. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 3".?Half ai aour after Judge E. E. Porterfiel* aad dissolved the Kansas City pro luce exchange and fined three of it Members an aggregate of $8,500 to lay, the court set aside both the or Jer and the fines. When the first court action wa :aken, none of the defendants to th< suits had a legal representative ii jourt. Within a few minutes afte Judge Porterfield had fixed the pen Uties, however, W. S. Cowherd, at :orney for the exchange, appeare< snd made strenuous protest agains :he action. He said he had not un lerstood that the final hearing ha< 3een set for to-day. Judge Porter ield then set the case for hearing to norrow.

Williston, Sept. 29.?Mr. Jim e Bonnett, of the Windsor section, was d relieved of about $50 Tuesday even- ap ; ing in a very daring manner. ? lt Mr. Bonnett sold a bale of cotton, h and after making a few purchases, pj t. among them some "blind tiger" h< whiskey, it is said, purchased in this be e supposed prohibition town, started ~~ ? for home. Some time after leaving Fa v he returned to report to the police pi: lt that he had ben robbed, but he was S. p too far gone from the effects of the """ "blind tiger," so it is stated, to give fr< >. a very connected account of how it ha [S happened, but from what he did say 0 it seems that about two miles out of ^e] e Williston, a negro asked to ride, ? ;r which permission was readily given, y but when the negro wanted to drive, in r_ this request Mr. Bonnett refused, inj )f then it was that the negro threw 51 lt him over into the bottom of the ^ e wagon, going through his pockets, Mj and taking about $50. Mr. Bonnett Yc woo nnflhlp tn mflkp ariv rpsistanre ? ;s whatever, and could give no clew as to who and what his assailant look- w( jj ed like. po Yesterday a merchant in Williston 2* ? . j Rc was teasing a negro, and was very y ,s serious about it, wanting to know II what he meant by robbing Mr. Bon;s nett, and to all the negro's denials e would tell him that knew all about l_ it. So well did he play his part that the negro finally thought he meant g( n it, and said that : "I did not rob ? anybody, Duke Allen done that." Mr. Owens and Mr. J. G. Fanning ? went out at once and rounded up Duke Allen, who, when asked what ? he did with the money he took from f0 Mr. Bonnett, made no question about so Is it, but took them to the place where 15 y he had it buried. >f ,q The Equal Franchise Society. ^ ?- "Mrs. Mackey and Mrs. Belmont," be s says Anna Steese Richardson in Wo>f man's Home Companion for October, pe >f "have that which the women who to r. brought the suffrage movement into da n existence lacked, the tremendous 8 power of wealth and the prestige of ^ o that social position which wealth U commands.

The police believe that e the capture of the men who hired Ca i the Pastime on Friday, September Su r 20, will mean the arrest of thos6 re- Gn ( - sponsible for the explosion in the 1 - boutnern uainornia cuy. in( 3 On September 20, two men, giving t the names of Bryce and Perry, rent- Sa1 - ed the launch Pastime from Douglas ( 3 A. Burroughs, of Oakland. They - paid a $500 deposit and gave a lib eral rental when they returned the 3 boat on September 26. Bryce and cas - his companion answer the descrip- ^ tion given the police of Bryson and tri , Morris, who purchased the explosive by - at Giant, California. The boat showed the effects of ' m s hard usages. On the bow were the f marks of tacks as if a sign of metal e letters had been tacked over the v name "Pastime." Co e This leads to the belief that the 3 name "Peerless" was used to disguise the boat. V . i SPECIAL NOTICES. ' Ivertisements Under This Head 25c. V For 25 Words or Less.
