In The Bamberg Herald appears an Ivertisement of a real estate deal enumerating 26 farms for sale in amberg county, ranging in acreage om 30 or 40 up to the hundreds id in price from $8 to $30 an acre. Bamberg county ranks well as a >tton producing county; it has railed facilities, a good climate and a ;rtile soil. Any and all kinds of uit, vegetables and grain that will row in the southern part of the luthern States, may be produced ith profit in Bamberg, or in Barnell, Hampton, or others of its near7 sister counties. The price of cfttton is about 14 snts a pound. With equal applicaon of labor, fertilizers and skill, ops of cotton may be produced in amberg equal to those produced in le Pee Dee lands of South Carolina -lands which sell for $50, $100, 200, and, occasionally, for $300 i acre. The opportunities to buy good nd at a low price in South Carolina :e scarcely less now than they were D or 20 years ago. The nrnhahllitv is that anv nnp nf le 26 farms advertised in The Bam5rg Herald could be made three mes its present value in three years r the "right man."?Columbia State. Railroad Lawyers Confer.

Capt, Whitescarver on Trip. Springfield, Oct. 25.?Mr. W. O. Whitescarver, United States assistant engineer, accompanied by Col C. W. Moorman, both of Columbia, S. C.,! arrived here yesterday morning fully equipped with baots, tents, camping necessities, etc , fgr the purpose of making a survey of the South Edisto river. Capt. E. M. Adams, chief engineer, with Congressmen A. F. Lever, J. O. Patterson, and Congress-j man-elect James F. Byrnes with sev-J eral newspaper men will follow in a few days. This end of the river is under the supervision of James H. Fanning, while Col. John F. Folk, of Bamberg, will manage the lower part of the-undertaking. The business men of Blackvillej are giving Mr. Fanning every assistance that he asks for, while the people of Williston, Sally, Wagener and Norway will be expected to join in this undertaking, as it wiil be of mutual benefit to each of the places named, as well as to many other points. On the arrival of the parties named above they were assisted in every way possible to get their trappings to the river where everything was stored in its proper place. After making a somewhat hurried examination of the width and depth of the channel of the river, Mr. Whitescarver casually re-| marked: "that we had a much better river than most people thought we had, and he was of the opinion that it was not water that we needed but money to improve this great artery of commerce." While we have not seen fit or proper to give to the press the almost startling figures of the commercial importance of the South Edisto val ley, we win say mai siaruug at oaiiiberg, with Denamrk, Leesville, Blackville, Elko, Williston, Cope, Norway, Springfield, Sally and Wagner, all of them lying in close proximity to the fertile plains of the South fork of the Edisto, and drawing their revenues from that source, we feel safe in chal? lenging a comparison. The business for the town of Blackville alone for the year 1909 exceeded three million dollars. This statement is not made as a guess, but is based on the actual figures taken by this correspondent from the commercial men of that town. Before the war, the largest fortunes made in the counties of Barnwell and Orangeburg were made on the swamp lands of this river. These lands now lie idle because the river has not been used for rafting for many years, consequetnly the channel has gradually filled up and backed the water out in the swamp. Opening the channel of the river and opening up the old ditches would in a large measure eliminate the mosquito, thereby lessening the possibility of contracting malarial fevers. Our little towns along this velley have the "new life" and are not dreaming of the good old times before the war; but have set their faces toward the coming of a proseperity that you must go after if you want it, and we are going after it. n JAMES H. FANNING. Woodward Beaten Again. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21.?Courtland S. Winn, one of the best known lawvprs in thp ritv. was to-dav nominated for mayor, defeating James G. Woodward, several times mayor of Atlanta. Woodward was defeated two years ago in a hotly contested campaign by the present mayor, Robert F. Maddox, who declined to become a candidate again. SUNDA Y-SCHOOL CONFERENCE f A Most Interesting and Helpful Sc sion Held in Bamberg. s y The first Sunday-school conferen 9 for the Methodists of Orangebu district was a success. Despite tl fact that this is the beginning of tl organization, and that the conferen came at a time when business ma ters are very pressing, the meetin, were of the very highest o-rder ai will be remembered for some of tl ^ particulars which were stresse when the obstacles of the occasi< j have been forgotten. Pastors, supe t intendents and delegates from tl various schools were all helped 1 a the coming together and what the r v suits will be will be shown in tl j days to come. To illustrate tl thinp'n arhirh wpro pmnhnnizpd ai BUCKING TAFT'S MACHINE. "Lily White" Movement Opposed b; Administration. Washington, Oct. 24.?Once mor< the bark of "Lily White" is facinj rough seas, so far as South Carolina is concerned. It leaked out in Washington to night that a day or two ago th< President sent for Capt. John G. Ca pers, commanding the bark in ques tion, and told him that the admin istration would be very much ob liged if the proposed convention o the new Republican party in Soutl Carolina, to be held on October 2' in Columbia, should be called off. I was pointed out that the or^ganiza tion of a "lily white" Republicai party in South Carolina just not> would tend to alienate the colore< vote, which the administration doe: not want to do. Of course, it was no put so bluntly as that?it was state< that the administration did not wan to antagonize the colored race, bu that means that it does not want t< alienate the colored convention vote as the1 organization of a Republicai party excluding the negroes woul< be sure to do. Capt. Capers late this afternooi had another conference with th< president, in the course of which th< matter was gone over. In the mean time, one of the afternoon paperi stated in its White House news th< convention had been called off. Capt Capers stated later, however, that i had not been called off, but would b< held, according to schedule, notwith standing the administrations atti tude. Capt. Capers left to-night fo: his home at Greenville and expecti to have his hands full the next fev days, looking after the organizatioi of the new party machinery in Soutl Carol'ina. It is understood that Postmastei General Hitchcock's influence wai brought to bear on the president witl the result that the abandonment o the convention was requested by th< latter. Mr. Hitchcock well knows th< value of "Southern delegates," an( no doubt had fears for 1912 if th< nine delegates from South Carolim should not be as easily controlled ai in the past. It is understood also that some o the white leaders in South Carolim are not favorable to the plan of try ing at this time to form a Republi can organization without the coloret contingent. The call recently issue< by Capt. Capers to the people o: South Carolina?or several scores o: them?was for conventions in th< various counties on October 26 tc elect delegates to a State conventior to meet in Columbia on October 27 With his departure for South Caro lina to-night, the scene of activity is transferred from Washington t< Greenville. Bishop Hendlrix to Preside. Arrangements are actively proceed ing for the annual conference of th< Methodist Episcopal -church, South which convenes at Bethel church Charleston, on December 8, for*whai promises to be an interesting and har nious session, with a large atten I dance of ministers and lay delegates j who will be hospitably cared for ir I the homes of the people of Charles ton. It is expected that there will be about 400 delegates in all in attendance upon the conference, of whon about 250 will be ministers. The conference will be presidec over by Bishop E. R. Hendrix, ol Kansas City, .Mo. He presided ovei a South Carolina conference once ! before and by coincidence the las) time that the conference met in Charleston, at old Trinity church in the fall of 1892. Bishop W. A. Candler of Atlanta, will also attend the conference, and it is expected that a number of men prominent in the councils of the church will also be present, many of the number coming to make addresses and otherwise participate in the proceedings of the conference. At present indications there will be only one church trial, that of the Rev, R. H. Mills, of Rock Hill, formerly of Summerville, whose domestic affairs have already been exploited in the newspapers. The conference will attempt to settle the differences which are sniri to exist between the minis ter and his wife. The conference will have only one session daily, a morning meeting, while the afternoon will be given up to committee sessions. At night, public meetings will be held with addresses by prominent speakers on missions and other subjects of general interest. Meeting for Missions. There will be a very interesting mission program rendered Sunday night at the Baptist church, instead cf the regular preaching service. This program will be given bv the B. Y. P. U. and Sunbeam Band. Everybody is cordially invited to be present. I hope you will aid us both by your presence and a liberal contribution. J. A. HUNTER, President B. Y. P.

The affirmative rep ^ indicates the working of the leave I Friday morning the session begj at 12 o'clock. The conference w j opened by prayer by Rev. J. J. Ste B enson, of Holly Hill. Rev. C. B Smith, the president by virtue of 1 office of presiding elder of the di B trict, was in charge of the orgai g zation of the conference. M. 1 Brabham was nominated for seer t tar>'? ' ? ' a The regular program whicj^h been published in The Herald w adhered to as closely as possible i r the way through. However there we 3 a number of speakers who failed attend and substitutes had to be s 1 cured in their stead. Despite tfa , the work was carried on witho any break in the interest of the co r ference. 3 Mr. J. M. Way, the general supe l intendent of the Sunday-schools f the Methodist conference, was tl 5 moving spirit of the entire occasio i Mr. Way is, without exception, tl j best Informed man on Sunday-scho a work ever heard here. There seei t ed to be nothing in the work whi< 3 he did not thoroughly and practical undei*stand. His conduct of tl f rouncl table on different subjects w t an inspiration to every Sunday-scho . worker. His masterly address Su . day night closing the conferen 1 showed him to be more than a Su 1 day-school worker; his remarks d f livered in the form of an addre f bearing on the church's attitude t a ward the social life of the young pe pie and the old, was a striking pr sentation of this very live topic. M Way will always be a welcome vi itor to Bamberg. Sunday-scho 3 workers everywhere will be help< ? hv his nrpR^nce. and the local scho is bound to be improved because his visit. The district work must 1 on a higher plane than ever before. Among the speakers who ma< i striking addresses of shorter lengi were: Dr. J. L. B. Gilmore, of Hoi Hill; Capt. J. B.

His sermons are a ways good and to the point and h I conference talks were just wh; f were needed.

Prof. Guilds is always well receive L by Bamberg people who have heai ; him on several occasions and wt > always make it a point toxhear hi r when possible. Dr. Henry N.

Workshop." Dr. Snyder is a reguh , contributor to the magazine know 1 as the "Adult Student," a magi L zine published by the Methodii . church for Bible classes, and he coi ducts the department known as tt , Lesson in Daily Life. He is in th somewhat of what Dr. J. H. Ca , lisle was to the Sunday-scho< . Magazine with his "Practical Appl . cation." It was from the stud t necessary to the preparation c . his written discussions of thes lessons from the old testamer for 1911 that his address Sunda morning was formed. The "chips were of savory flavor, there bein ; nothing dry about them, and tfc ' general handling of the theme wa . delightful and decidedly instructive He >?.sed the method of the teache rather than that of the* lecturer an the address was an ideal one for Bible Class. The class known, as tb Herbert Adult Bible Class numbei over one hundred and fifty and was principally before this class ths the address was delivered, but ther / . were many visitors present to enjoy the discussion of the Bible as a liters rary and historical book, and not only \ the Bible class but all the others present will long remember the clear presentation of ideas relative* to the ce Bible as a book which should have a rS continous reading rather than a be snatch of a few verses each day or be week.
