Birthday Party.
Last Thursday afternoon the lit-'
tie friends of Henry Frederic Bam- I
berg, Jr., made merry with him from
four to six at the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg.
The party was in honor of
little Henry's sixth birthday, and
right well did the host of tots do
their part in celebrating the happy
occasion. Many'and varied were the
gifts they brought to their little playmate.
A peanut hunt served to
? amuse the guests greatly, and after
the search was over and the peanuts
counted, it was found that Maytrude
Brabham had won the girls' prize, a
tiny gold pin, and Wilkes Knight,
Jr., the boys' prize, a knife with two
blades. Then, each had a turn at i
a mysterious "grab-bag," every little
hand returning with a treasure snug
ly hid away in tissue paper. All
then scampered out on the spacious
lawn to examine and devour immediately
the precious packages, and as
ft?e last of these disappeared, delightful
ice cream was served each thirsty
little child. They ran and played until
it was almost dark, when each declared
that it had been such a happy
afternoon and wished little Henry
many happy returns of November 10.

PROJECT SEEMS ASSURED
FAVORABLE REPORT MADE OX
NORTH FORK OF EDISTO.
______
Enthusiastic Banquet Held at Bam- I
berg Under Auspices of Business
Men's League.
Bamberg, Nov. 15.?"The South
Edisto Project" was the theme of
greatest' interest discussed here yesterday.
The culmination of the
scheme for deepening the Edisto was
a banquet last night in honor of Capt.
Adams, United States engineer, Con- !
gressmen Lever. and Byrnes, and
many visitors who had come here
during the day to take part in launching
the scheme.
The concluding address was that
of Capt. Adams. A favorable report!
has been made by Capt. Adams relative
to the north fork of the river.
This announcement was greeted with
great applause, especially by the advocates
of that particular part of the ;
stream. Then when Capt. Adams said j
that the showing made by the advocates
of the larger of the streams, the I
south fork, had impressively reached
him, still louder applause stirred the !
hall.
The meeting was presided over by I
J. F. Carter, president of the Bam- j
berg Business Men's League. Assem- I
bled with Mr. Carter at the table^ere
the guests of honor and the speakers
of the evening, as follows: Capt.
Adams, Congressmen A. F. Lever and
J. F. Byrnes, Judge R. W. Mem- j
minger, Senator J. B. Black, Mayor j
J. A. Wyman, Col. John F. Folk, J. I
A. Hunter, C. W. Garris, Col. W. Gil- j
more Simms, Tom Peeples, A. W.
Knight and W. P. Riley.
A d elightful supper was served.
Several courses were served, atter
which the business or tne evening
was entered into.
President Carter made an address i
of welcome in behalf of Bamberg
and the business league and introduced
the speakers of the occasion.
Col. John F. Folk, who has shown
much interest and .zeal in the undertaking,,
was called upon as chairman
of the navigation committee. He told
briefly of the possibilties of the river
and pointedly of the opportunities
awaiting development there. Col.
Folk has run his gasoline launch all
up and down the river and is very
familiar with conditions- there. His
words were received with much ini
terest.
J. A. Hunter, the newly elected;
member of the legislature from Bam- j
berg county, who is the chairman of j
the committee, having the compila- i
tion of data in hand, *vas called upon |
for his report. The report was a very I
favorable surprise to every one present
and with the figures as given in j
this report as a basis, it is clear that j
a boat line could be made to pay on
the South Edisto.
Mayor J. A. Wyman spoke earnestly
in behalf of the town of Bamberg
and added much information to the
report of the data committee, calling
attention to the fact that there are
quite a number of sidings between
the several towns interested, at which
points much freight is loaded and
shipped. Mr. Wyman is a large
planter, owning property near the
river and has occasion to familiarize
himself with the territory lying adjacent
to the river.
A. W. Knight, editor of The Bamberg
Herald, was the next speaker.
He concluded with the well known
i?:J..I _* 10no. +{tv>A
I11U1UCUI UI 1010, LUIS UC1U5 luu urnc
when the Edgefield polls were held
back in the election and the inquiry
sent "how n.any do you need." He
stated that if Capt. Adams would let
the people know .how much they
lacked of making the necessary showing,
the showing would be forthcoming.
He closed amid much laughter
and applause.
President Carter at this jucture
announced that in connection with
this project, he and a committee had
worked for a short while in the afternoon
and that a boat company to
be known as the South Edisto River
Navigation company had been organized
with a capital stock of $20,000,
over half of which stock had been
subscribed in less than one hour. He
read the names of the subscribers,
among them some of the town's
staunchest business men.
M. W. Brabham was called upon
and respopded in a few words, stating
that the Bamberg Business Men's
league stood ready to pledge itself
that the river should be known as a
place of commerce and business.
Tom Peeples, of Blackville, made
an eloquent reply to the call for remarks
from that town.
J. B. Black, senator from Bamberg
county, confessed his surprise at the
data which had been presented and
spoke on what he believed to be the
great possibilties of the stream.
C. W. Garris, of Denmark, responded
to the call upon that town. He felt
sure that his town would be one with
' * " * - ' - ?? -? ?f /-? m + Vi a
tne sister towns in pumug mi wc
South Edisto project. He dwelt at
length on the great possibilties of
opening up a great farming belt along
the river.

here presiding over the court in ses- j
sion, was called upon by President !
Carter. Judge Memminger replied in
a few well chosen words. He stated
that he was not well enough up on
the undertaking to make any address j
that could be enlightening or help- \
ful, but that he felt sure that the pro- j
gressiveness and spirit of determina-j
tion which possessed the people of j
this section would mean a great deal '
in the undertaking. j
J. O. Patterson was an invited :
i
guest, but on account of illness could 1
not be present. He sent a letter
voicing: his interest in the undertak
ing, and promised that during the
coming winter he would bend every
energy to make the work favorably
received whenever it should come under
discussoin.
Harry D. Calhoun spoke earnestly
in behalf of Congressman Patterson,
stating that he had conferred with
him that morning, and that the congressman
was very much disappointed
that he could not be present. Mr.
Calhoun placed much emphasis upon
the boat line, giving some facts as to
how Augusta had been benefitted by
such a line.

a well digested and interesting
speech. He made an address filled
with interesting historical illusions
going to ancient history and moderr
for illustrations of points which he
wished to emphasize.
R. H. Jennings, president of the
Orangeburg chamber of commerce
said that Orangeburg will do its part
Mr. Glover, who was introduced as
the man who has put the matter or
a footing which can be presented as
an array of facts and not a lot ol
talk, was called upon. He made a
response, short but to the point. He
stated that he had plied the waters
from Orangeburg to Jacksonboro, a
distance of 240 miles, and had had
much less trouble than in following
the public road from Orangeburg tc
this place just a few hours previous
He had used an automobile which

had given consiaeraoie iruuuic.
Congressman A. F. Lever was called
upon. He told of the history oi
the movement for making the Edistc
navigable, showing witji what little
enthusiasm that project had met ir
the beginning and then tracing the
matter to the point where the under
taking was placed on a working basis.
He said that he had been thor

, found that Capt. Adams was not s
i easily convinced and that the ev
? dence of a tangible enterprise mus
be shown to the engineer whose dut
? it is to give in a report concernin
, the river. Capt. Adams, said M

j government and not until a sufficiei

one little thrust, made in a humorou
way at him by Mr. Lever. Mr. Leve

g The concluding address was that of
r. Capt. Adams. He spoke to the
ie point, telling of the course that such
it matters must pass and speaking fae
vorably of the figures presented to
e him by the business league. He said >
it that the chief point to be considered
d was that of whether it would be used 'l|j||
y if the river should be made navigable,
d and whether it would be worth the "J ?|?|
i- expenditure necessary to bringing ljj3
