Hamburg Ijrralb Thursday, October 20, 1910. SHORT LOCALS. 'Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. See the new ad. of D. J. Delk in this issue. See the new ad. of J. T. O'Neal, the real estate man, in this isue. Warren township evidently means business in the matter of voting themselves into Bamberg county. The State and Federal election noi tices, giving the managers and information, will be printed next week. . Boisie Pinckney, the negro who was shot last Saturday night a week ago, is out and seems to be recovering all right. p: Bamberg must keep alive to the matter of opening up the South Edisto river to navigation. We cannot afford to let this opportunity pass. The tropical storm did no damage in Bamberg. True the wind was a little high Tuesday afternoon and that night, followed by rain Tuesday night and yesterday morning. In renewing for her paper another year, Mrs. Allen E. Hair, of Elko, says: "I think your paper is the best county paper I ever saw, so feel like I cannot be without it. Much suc(cess to you and your good paper." The Woman'sj Christian Temperance Union will meet next Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist church. A full attendance is requested, as the delegates will be back with their report .from the meeting at Georgetown. There will be a number of visitors j I In the city this week attending the Orangeburg District Sunday-school V convention. Let each citizen see | \ that a good impression of Bamberg v is left on these people. Show them j* and tell them the good things aboutj your town, and don't forget to show them all the courtesy and attention possible. W. Mr. W. <D. McMillan, of Hahira, Ga., writes us of a bale of cotton sold there last Thursday which ? ; brought $310.11, including the seed. This cotton was prepared^ for the gr Georgia State Fair at Macon. The price of the long staple cotton they raise there is 33 cents a pound. Land is still advancing in price, and fall crops are looking fine. Rural Carrier E. F. Free has purchased a Ford automobile to make his trips with, and in consequence he makes his route much quicker than with a horse and buggy. The automobile is geting popular with rural route mail carriers in this county. Mr. Browning, the carrier at Govan, has been using a machine for some months. The following ladies from Barns'. berg went to Augusta Tuesday to see Maude Adams play in, "What Every Woman Knows:" Mrs. W. P. Riley, tj Mrs. J. D. Copeland, Jr., Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Jr., Mrs. Jones A. Williams, Mrs. W. A. Klauber, Mrs. G. M. E^ickinson, Mrs. Alma B. Hays, -Mrs. Janie C. Lewis, Mrs. G. F. Bam berg, Mrs. J. Norman Walker;.Mr. and Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker and others. The Cotton Market. There is not much doing in the cotjST ton market here to-day (Wednesday) & > v"- as it has been drizzling rain all day. ^ Only a few bales have been brought in ito-day. Notwithstanding the fact f that cotton went off Monday, the price being paid here to-day is 14% ^ . cents. Receipts for the season someiTv thing more than five thousand bales. Dr. H. N. Snyder Here Sunday. Among the prominent speakers who will be here in attendance upon the Sunday-school conference this week will be Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder, president of Wofford College, and perhaps the best known speaker in the entire State. He will make jp ah address at the regular preaching hour Sunday morning. The program states that he wil address the memfpr of the Herbert Adult Bible pX Class. This means that the class will be the hosts of the occasion, and they cordially invite their many friends to he present with them* to ltnai. mnot tr\ffpr? cnpflker of the i>UV HI VW Q 44 yy ^ VW-. conference. The Bible class itself numbers considerably over one hundred, and when the students of the Fitting School are taken into consideration as members of the class, this one class numbers about one hundred and seventy members. Another speaker who will be here during the convention is Prof. Tate, of the University of South Carolina. He is well known as an attractive speaker and his coming will add a great deal to the occasion. It is not known yet at what service he will be present. Philadelphia has beat Chicago the two games so far played in the series for the world's championship in base ball, and it looks like the Quaker city will win all the series. gfe;&; (*/*..

His subject at night was Abraham's call, or the foundations and characteristics of a truly great and noble life. The Barnwell Baptist Association meets this week with the St. John's church, near Ehrhardt. Dr. J. B. Black, C. B. Free, J. W. Hill and Rev. O. J. Frier attended as delegates from this church. This month closes the second pastoral year of Rev. O. J. Frier. Next Sunday will be the last conference of of the year. Some important matters ? ? ? A IA are iu u.c ancuuwvu. Married. Miss Clara Louise Wiliams, an attractive young lady of Hardeeville, and Mr. Brooks, of New York, were married last Tuesday in Savannah. Miss Williams visited her cousin, Miss Eva Hanberry, last summer near Denmark, and made many friends, who will be glad to learn of her happiness. Evidently in Earnest. The people of Warren seem to mean business- about annexing to Bamberg. A meeting was held at Smoaks last Saturday, and several gentlemen from Bamberg were present in order to correct misstatements and to give correct statistics as to assessment of property, tax levy, the financial condition of the county, etc. A report of the meeting was made to the business league here at a meeting held in the town hall Monday evening of this week, and it was decided by the league that the body would support the movement and give all the co-operation necessary to the good people of that section who want to become a part of Bamberg county. The work of the committee so far was endorsed. It is certain that if the citizens of Warren township want to come into Bamberg, they will have all the help needed from this county. But the matter is for them, and they should look at it from purely a business standpoint. They have the facts and figures showing that it will be to their interest to come with us, and we expect the survey to be made and the election ordered in a short time. Joins Her Husband. We learn that Mrs. J. J. Hughes left this county last week to join her husband in Georgia. It will be remembered that a few years ago Hughes was convicted of wife beating and sentenced to the penitentiary. Later he was pardoned on condition that he never was guilty of the same offense again. A few months ago his wife sent to Bamberg to have Him arrested ior Dealing ner, uui ue defied the ofiicers sent to arrest him and later made his escape. Now his wife has gone to him, but we are not informed as to his whereabouts in Georgia. New Advertisements. H. C. Folk, Master?Sale of real estate in case of Julia E.

BIRTHDAY REUNION. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Chitty Celebrate Notable Birthday. Kearse, Oct. 17.?Life, with its cares, its worries, and its responsibilities?how heavily they press on us all! If our lives were made up of this sad list, our existence would be dreary indeed, but happily the "giver of all good" has seen fit to send many bright days to cheer us in our onward march. One of those days, specially crowned with brightness and cheer, came to us on the 15th of October. At this time the children and grand-children and many of the neices and nephews of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Chitty met atitheir home to wish them well.* On this day Mr. Chitty had reached his eighty-third mile post, and by a singular but pleasant coincidence his better half had reached her eighty-first the day previous. Of all the children of this venerable old couple, not one was absent on this occasion, and what a happy reunion it was! The day was bright and sunny, and everything denoted peace and good cheer. The dinner was a feast of good and substantial things. All felt that 'twas good to be there, and only regretted that the hours slipped by too quickly. Life is uncertain, and how few of the many who are linked together in matrimony are permitted to continue their journey so long. These old people have spent more than fifty years of wedded bliss, and are spending the evening of life, sheltered by the same old oaks which shaded Mrs. Chitty in her childhood days. If the I whole thread of their lives was un folded there would be some cords to tell of life's sorrows as well as the pleasant things, for many children, who have gone from their doorstep, have nobly fought life's battles and gone to their rewar. Here on earth they remain a benediction to all who come under their roof, and only awaiting the final summons: "Come up higher." Here a perfect reunion awaits them, in those blissful realms where "Tears and partings are unknown and storms of sorrow never Vise." Sunday-school Convention. Beginning Friday morning, the first annual Sunday-school conference of the Orangeburg district of the Methodist church will convene here. The meetings will be held at Trinity church. Delegates from sixty-two schools in the district are expected,'and these together with the pastors from the various churches will make the conference well attended. Homes have been secured in the town for the visitors, and it is expected that Bamberg will give the conference a hearty welcome. It has been emphasized that me coniereuce its iu ue au u^aoiuu for study and improvement in Sunday-school work. The hosts are not expected to burden themselves by elaborate dinings and feastings, hut on the other hand they are requested to have meals simple and on time so that the visitors can be at the church promptly, and so that the hosts can attend the sessions themselves. The program is one full of interesting things. Papers and discussions bearing on almost every line of Sunda^v-school work will be heard. Speakers well fitted for discussing things will be present. Mr. J. M. Way, the general superintendent of the Methodist conference schools, will be on the program for several numbers; Mr. Way is a veritable store-house of information on every branch of this kind of work. Among those who will make addresses are Dr. Henry N. Snyder, of Wofford College; Prof. W. K. Tate, of the University of South Carolina, and a number of prominent lay and clerical speakers in addition. Three sessions will be held each day: morning, afternoon, and evening. To all of these services the public is cordially invited. The congre gallons OI me oiucr cuuia;ucd aio 511en a special invitation to be present. The delegates will doubtless begin to arrive Thursday evening. A committee will be in charge of meeting those who come and seeing that they are given homes. M. W. BRABHAM, Superintendent. Naval Ball Players. Our young friend C. W. Rentz, Jr., who is now in the navy, sends us a ! copy of the Shanghai, China, Times, dated September 9th, in which there are a number of notices, concerning the American battleships then in thai port. We clip the following relating to the base ball team of the New Orleans: "The New Orleans base ball team is the best that has yet been seen in these waters. They beat all the crack > teams of Japan, and have an aggre; gation of ball players that are diffi; cult to overcome. Pitcher Rentz is i the anchor of the team, and he has never been found wanting when in a ! tight place. We hope to see them play here." ANOTHER NEW COUNTY SCHEME. Proposed to Cut Off Parts of Hampton and Beaufort. Beaufort, Oct. 14.?A petition asking for the formation of a new county out of parts of Hampton and Beaufort is being circulated this week, according to a reliable report, though the whole matter seems to be shrouded in mystery. Ridgeland is given as the centre of the move. This proposition is certain to cause the liveliest kind of agitation. It is along the same general lines as a movement that failed some ten years ago. Then it was planned to cut off a strip about parallel with the railroad and about eight miles east, cutting off Ridgeland, Grahamville and Hardeeville, leaving Bluffton and a part of the Oketee section in that county. It is not yet known what the new lines are, nor just how the proposition will be received by all parties concerned. Sunday Afternoon at Trinity. Next Sunday afternoon the delegates and visitors who are able to remain over for Sunday will be present at the regular session of Trinity Sunday-school. The program for the afternoon will be one along similar lines to those used from Sunday to Sunday. The lesson for the day is a misionary theme, and special stress will be laid on this phase of work. The operations of the school will be discussed after the regular session, and other schools will offer suggestions bearing on the work; thus will the local school have the benefit of intelligent criticism, and it will doubtless be helped a great deal. The session for this Sunday begins at 3:30 o'clock instead of at four. This change of hour holds only for this Sunday, the regular hour being set for the next Sunday as usual. Home Mission News. Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Woman's Home Mission Society held the October meeting, at Trinity Methodist church, and after the usual routine of devotional exercises and business matters, those present en joyea a aengntiuuy iun ana cornyichensive report of the annual meeting, recently held in Spartanburg, by our delegate to that meeting, Mrs. E. O. Kirsch. Mrs. Ktrsch gave in detail the many items of interest which took place at this conference, being nicely supplemented by the district secretary, Miss Lewellyn Cleckley, who also attended the Spartanburg conference. These two ladies were the gusts of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. H. Cope, r whom we still claim as Bamberg people; and nothing further need be said in explanation of the glowing accounts they bring of the Spartan city. , In regard to Orangeburg district, we wish to do some bragging?we are proud of our district. Last fiscal year ending the first of September, for connectional purposes, we raised a total of $1,560.41, an increase of $600 over the year previous. The membership ' including brigades, numbers 334, an increase of 60 members; subscribers to Our Homes, 97, increase of 45. This amount of $1,560.41 does not include any money expended locally. Just before going to this meeting Miss Cleckley undertook to have her district honor our State president, and the beloved mother of the Home Mission Society, by raising money to furnish a double room at the Vashti Home, to be known as the Jennie Wo (ford Wait room. In this she was most successful, not only raising the $50.00 necessary, nut she raised $60.50. The amount remaining, $10.50, Miss Cleckley turned over to the manager of this home to be used in helping to paint some building. Had this amount been turned in before the State treasurer made her report, we are confident Orangeburg would have been the banner district. We would alsjp claim in all modesty the place of second only for our own Bamberg auxiliary. Central, Spartanburg, is the only auxiliary in the State which raises more money than we do in Bamberg. Bamberg auxiliary purposes to observe two days as days of prayer? Thanksgiving day, and the next day, anH will ask for a home mission ser mon the following Sunday. Keep this In mind, home mission workers, and when the president calls on you for your part to make these days a success and a blessing, be ready to respond with all your heart. "Answer, Yes or Xo." The following telegram was received early Saturday morning, sent from Eranchville: "The Press and Standard, Walterboro, S. C. "If we were to change our name to Warren and county seat to Smoaks, would yon then be willing for Warren township to annex herself to a i better county? Answer, yes or no, at Bamberg. BAMBERG COUNTY. No.?Walterboro Press and Standard. BOYS IN RACE WAR. Stabbing Follows High Feeling in School in Chicago. As a result of race antagonism which has produced considerable disorder at the Doolittle school, Chicago, Louis Brawnwein, six years of age, is at his home suffering stab wounds alleged to have been inflicted by a ten-year-old colored boy. The feeling at the school, where a number of colored pupils are enrolled, is described as intense. Repeated clashes between white and negro boys are said to have occurred despite the presence of police. The trouble is said to have become serious a month ago when a colored lad beat a white boy. The white boys are said to have banded together to drive out the negro children. Brawnwein was on his way home from school, when, it is said, a colored boy leaped upon him and stabbed him with a pocket knife, inflicting painful, but not fatal wounds. Shooting at Negro Church. In a three-cornered shooting bout at Madraw'B church in lower Richland county Sunday afternoon, Mose Hammond, a negro, killed Sing Hall, another negro. As Hammond was running away, J. S. Jacobs, also a negro, shot him in the leg. Hammond returned Jacobs's fire, but his shot went wild. W. G. Lucius had an inquest ovei Sing Hall Monday afternoon. Hammond was captured at his house or the plantation of A. B. Campbell known as "Leesburg," which is about ten miles from Eastover. He was lodged in jail Monday night bj v olltr o Mnatahlp arid it liC XVV-11J , ? vvuuvuvx') ?? ? held for murder. The quarrel between Hall and Hammond began when Hammond asked for a drink. Sing Hall replied that he did not "tote" liquor tc church. Hamond got so mad that two negroes had to hold him. Hal] walked away and Hammond was released. As soon as he was free, he whipped out his pistol and shot Hall Then he ran for the woods. The bullet entered just blow Hall's right eye. The Jacobs negro drew his gun and opened fire. One of the'shots struck Hammond in the leg. He paused onlj long enough to shoot at Jacobs and then kept going. He was found at his house in bed Hie wounded leg lasted barely long enough to carry him home. A great many negro shooting and cutting affrays have occurred at Madraw's church. Several years age a killing took place. The church is notorious for the number of rows which have the origin there.?Columbia State. West Indian Storm. The West Indian storm of this week was unusually severe along the DI/nmI/IA Artnfi4> on/? nrAnortv TSTrtrlb r IUI iua tuaovj ?uu j/x vj/vi ?vi v?i millions of dollars has been destroyed. The worst damage was at Key West, St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Brunswick, and Savannah. These towns were flooded by the waters driven in from the ocean by the high winds. No lives were lost at any point except Key West, whsje three negroes were drowned. Charleston did not suffer from the gale to any great extent, although some streets in the lower portion of the city were flooded. Good News 'From the Youth's Companion. - We have had to make the Yo u til s Companion larger in order to get in all the good things that Companion readers ought to have. The added amount would make four hundred pages of standard magazine size and print; but we have kept the price just the same?$1.75 for the fiftytwo weeks of 1911, and all the issues for the rest of this year free from the time you send in your subscription. We should like to tell you what is in store for Companion readers next year. We cannot do it here, though; there is not room. But send us your address on a postal card, and we will send you the beautiful prospectus of The Companion for 1911, announcing many new features, together with sample copies of the paper. We think you will agree when you have read them, that there is no other paper that gives quite so much of such a high quality as The Companion. The new subscriber receives a gift of The Companion's art calendar for 1911, reproducing in twelve colors and in gold a beautiful water-color garden scene.
