H. Z. and J. A. McMillan, also a contribution
of $2.00 for the same purpose
from Mr. P. M. Varn.

has been assigned to the work so far.
Mr. O. K. Wilson, director Of the
Orangeburg military band which is
to giye a minstrel show here to-morrow
(Friday) evening, was in the
city last Thursday afternoon. He
stated that the band would give their
show in Orangeburg Wednesday
evening before coming here, and he
assures us that the entertainment is
all~to the good.
/ In a letter renewing his subscription,
Maj. Jos. Carter, of Lodge,
says: "Fully one-third of the cotton
crop in this section is yet to be
planted; a lot of the first planted
came up to a bad stand and some is
being replanted; cry of bad seed and
some complain they have not seed to
replant. Corn to a fairly good stand;
ground too dry to germinate seed.M
While gambling last Saturday
night Bounce Miller struck Elliott
Williams in the head with an axe.
The blow was evidently a light one or
Williams's head was extraordinarily
hard, for Williams was not hurt very
much. His ear was cut in two, but
he was well enough to go to work
Monday afternoon. Miller claims
that Williams was attempting to cut
him with a knife when he struck
him. Miller is now in jail. Both
parties are negroes.
Municipal Election.
The municipal election at which a
mayor and six aldermen were elected
to serve for the next two years, took
place Tuesday. The polls were opened
in the city hall, with Messrs. G.
A. Jennings, B. D. Carter, and M. E.
Ayer as managers. The vote stood
as follows:
For mayor?N. P. Smoak 89; B.
W. Miley 48.. Smoak elected.
For aldermen: C. W. Rentz 132,
J. J. Smoak 129, E. H. Henderson
128, A. McB. Speaks 113, I. B.
Felder 91, JE. c. nays /d, j. l>. |
Copeland, Jr., 74, M. W. Brabham
71. The first six named were elected.
The election was quiet, and a
light vote was polled. About 160
voters had registered, this being a
very small number, and of these only
^ i- 138 voted. There was a quiet fight
put up against Mr. M. W. Brabham,
and he was defeated by only a few
jjfe^ votes. He received a majority of
the votes cast but he was led by two
others by less than a half dozen
votes. Mr. Brabham had served the
old council as clerk and treasurer
and had made a most efficient and
painstaking official, and for the
good of the town his defeat is to be
regretted. No doubt the fact that
he enforced the laws in the discharge
of his duties was what
brought it about.
* For commissioner of public feorks
Mr. G. Moye Dickinson was re-elected,
being the only city official to
succeed himself, he receiving 132
votes.

Traveling Man Arrested.
About two weeks ago a young
Greek named Victor Canares came to
town claiming to be a singer for the
Vln+nr Tolbinor Maohiflo Hp WAS AP
V IV/tVi X iuuvu?Mv? ..
companied by a woman whom he
claimed was his wife, stating that he
married her at Johnston, S. C., three
years ago. While here he gave an
entertainment at the graded school
auditorium, which was attended by
only a few people. Last Saturday
night a week ago he prevailed on
Dr. H. F. Hoover to cash a draft on
a New York bank for $30.00 and
skipped out of town on the 3 o'clock
a. m. train.
Dr. Hoover became suspicious as
to the draft, as a close examination
showed it to look very much like a
forgery, so efforts were made to locate
Canares. He was found at Sum
? -S 1 -i.x
merville last i nursaay nigui ami arrested
and brought back to town Friday
morning, along with his wife.
He denied that the draft was a forgery,
saying it was given to him
by a traveling man named Morris
who owed him $50. .
The draft was on the First National
Bank of New York and was signed
by J. Morris, cashier, being endorsed
the same way, also by Victor
Canares.
Canares claimed he had no money
and was put in jail, but during the
day or night his wife managed to
raise a good part of the money, and
the case was compromised with Dr.
Hoover by paying him a part of the
money, so Saturday morning Canares
and his wife left town, going from
here to Branchville, where he stated
he would give an entertainment.
The wife of Canares is said to
have been divorced from her former
husband, who lives at Johnston, and
she has two little girls, who were
with her at Summerville when Canares
was arrested. The children
with a negro nursei were left at
Branchville Friday morning on the
way hack to Bamberg.
Canares also owed Dr. Hoover a
hill for medical attention to his wife
during his stay here, he being here
about a week, and he also beat this
office out of a small amount for
printing, as well as other parties for
small sums. He claimed he was going
to open a laundry here, so we
understand, and told a number of
different tales as to what he was and
what he was going to do. He told
us when he left town Saturday morning
that he was going to pay us
next week, but we have little hope
of his doing so. Other towns that
he visits should be on the look out
for him and cash no drafts for him
nor let him have anything on credit.
The hank here sent a telegram to
New York in reference to the draft,
and the reply came that the party
was unknown. There is no doubt
but that Canares made out the draft
himself, signature, endorsements
and all.
Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Cotton Oil Company
was held at the office of the company
in this city Tuesday morning, when
a report of the operations of the
plants at Bamberg and Denmark for
the past year were made. The same
directors were re-elected, as follows:
G. Frank Bamberg, J. Aldrich Wyman,
G. Moye Dickinson, J. A. Williams,
E. C. Hays, C. F. Rizer, and
W. M. Brabham. The meeting of
stockholders then adjourned. <
The directors then held a meeting
and elected the following officers: W.
M. Brabham, president; C. F. Rizer,
vice president; G. Moye Dickinson,
manager and treasurer of the Bamberg
plant; D. G. Richardson, manager
and treasurer of the Denmark
plant.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Annual Observance of the Day at
Rivers' Bridge.
Wanderer's Rest, May 1.?Memorial
day, April 28, was ushered in by
sunless skies and lowering clouds,
with an occasional shower, but these
did not deter the old soldiers and
many others from their purpose to
pay tribute to those heroic Georgians
who gave their lives in battle at
Rivers' bridge February 4th, 1865.
This association has the unique distinction
of any other in this State, as
it decorates the graves on or near
the 26th day of April and does honor
to those whose lives were given up
in one battle.
The devotional exercises were con
ducted by Rev. D. B. Groseclose. The
speaker, Col. Jas. Armstrong, of
Charleston, was introduced by the
venerable old soldier, Dr. N. F. Kirkland,
who in his matchless way in a
few well chosen and appropriate
words placed the speaker before an
eager and expectant orderly audience,
who for several minutes were
convulsed with laughter by anecdotes
so well told by the speaker, then in
a graphic-way he told of war, actual
war experiences as seen and felt, that
went home to the heart of every old
soldier that wore the gray present
and who suffered in the trying days
of the sixties. He paid a high tribute
to the women of the Confederacy
and the thrilling and soothing effect
of their tender care and skillful
nursing of the sick or wounded. He
also paid his audience high praise
for their chivalry and beaming
faces spread out before him in one
vast panorama of youth and beauty.
After the speaking the old soldiers
formed in line, marched from under
the large shed and formed a circle
around the graves, then came the
ladies with wreaths and garlands of
beautiful flowers and placed them
over the graves, still showing the devotion
of woman in a righteous
cause. All honor to woman, first in
every true man's heart, in the home,
pain or suffering, peace or war, and
last to lay flowers on a fallen hero's
grave.
In the meeting of the association
no change of officers were made, all
of them beng re-elected. A resolution
rvaa nffprod ftskiuff the managers of
the annual ball at Ehrhardt to
change date of same, as the old soldiers
felt that they and this memorial
occasion were dishonored by
same. Said resolution was passed
by a unanimous vote, also asking that
no more balls be given on evening
after memorial to wound the pride
and feelings of those who fought,
bled and died in the lost cause.
And now let us not forget to
Honor God, for He is king of
kings,
The maker and giver of all we have,
So dwell not long on passing
things.
iTJTr?nr?i? tho Cinlrifpr who sleCUS his
long sleep,
Where birds sing the passing days
and hours,
Who gave up his home, friends and
life,
To save this country to his and ours.
Honor the heroes who once wore the
grey,
Whose ranks are shattered and
worn,
Who with gray locks and eager steadfast
eye,
Look to the great reunion never to
be torn.
OLD TIMER.
ANNUAL REPORT OF
Clerk and Treasurer, Town of Bamberg,
S. C., May 2, 1911.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Bamberg, S. C.
Gentlemen:?I have the honor to
submit herewith my report. I have
endeavored to make the report as
full and intelligent as possible, believing
that it may be of some use as
information to our successors in office.
Some of the things which I
enumerate are doubtless irrelevant
as part of a treasurer's report, but
they will serve as information to a
great many of our people who do not
take the time to look into the details
of the finances of the town.
The outstanding bonded and floating
indebtedness is costing the town
about $2,300 each year, this amount
being used to pay interest and to retire
one bond of the public building
series; this item is in detail as follows:
Interest public building series,
rate 6 per cent, $600; bond $375.
Beginning 1898 this runs for 40
/\?i(rino1 Knnrfa <1 ^ COO Ollt
J CCll O f Ui Igxuai uv/uuo y X Vy V V v v ?-V
standing $10,125.
Interest on electric lights bonds,
rate 4^ per cent, $675. Beginning
1906 for 40 years; bonds not due
until 1946; option 1926;- $15,000.
Interest water works bonds, rate
5 Vz per cent, $385. Beginning 1909
for 40 years; bonds due 1949; option
1929; original $7,0(30. Interest
floating debt, Ifete 8 per
cent, $240; $3,000. Borrowed by
council under Dr. Geo. F. Hair for
city hall; note held by Mrs. Sallie R.
Owens; due February 9, 1912;
pledge of taxes and city hall rents.
Total for interest and bond of
public building series, $2,275.
Total bonded and floating indebtedness
Town of Bamberg, $35,125.
During the administration of the
present council we have handled in
round numbers $25,000. The first
year of our term the amount was considerably
larger than this one just
past. This was due very largely to
to the fact that the funds from the
dispensary were not included in our
year just closed, whereas a large
amount was paid into the town during
the latter part of the former
council and the first part of the present
council's terms. Considering this
large falling off in the income of the
town, it appears from the appended
report that the presentcouncil has had
a much tighter time for money than
its predecessor. Notwithstanding
this however, we turn the books over
with a small balance on hand. In addition
to the lack of revenue, the
town under the nresent council has
had to take up the interest of the
water works bonds; it has been called
upon to make a donation to the
graded school in order to help the
school defray actual expenses, synething
that has not happened in many
years, if ever before, and a condition
which will doubtless not arise again;
the fire department has been established
and the town was called upon
to equip this very necessary addition
to the town; this year the department
will receive all that is necessary
from the tax levied by the State on
all fire insurance companies. Bamberg
having complied with the act
in passing a suitable ordinance.
Another source of revenue which
the incoming council will profit by
is that of business license. This has
been levied for the two years past, :
but was turned over as required by
ordinance to the Commissioners of
Public Works to help pay the balance
owed by them for the construction
of the water works system; they
haye paid into this fund themselves
over. $1,400 from tha electric light
plant and the. debt has oeen cancelled
thereby. Tfiis year the business license
will belong to the town and
will mean a good lift over what appear
to be some pretty rough roads
in sight. I would like to say in this
report at this juncture that an ordinance
requiring merchants and all
others to make a return of their volume
and line of business at least two
months before August 1st, at which
time they are due, is almost imperative,
and I hope that the incoming
council will adopt this portion of this
report as a recommendation for the
sake of the best interests of the town,
for the sake, secondarily, of the next
clerk and treasurer.
There is another source which appears
to me to be entitled to a larger
revenue of the town; this is the
amount from the commutation tax.
The Bamberg Guards have been exprnnted
from this tax from year to
r ?
year; this year the exemption is upon
condition - that the officers of the
company should file & report of all
regularly enlisted and drilled men
with the clqrk and treasurer; this
has not been done at this time. The
fire company is also exempted; I
think they should be required to
practice oftener if they are to derive
, this benefit.
There is an item in the appended
report which appears to be a large
one; this is the account for disinfectant
for the town; there are several
reasons for this, the principal one being
that our present term council inherited
a'large portion of this from
the former council, and also that the
sanitary cart has been put into use
during our term and this makes the
use of this article very great. It ap- i
pears that the expenditure has been
a profitable one.
The matter of street work and
ditching is one of the most regular
contributors to the expense account
of the town. When it is considered
that ditches reaching out into the
country have to be cleaned out so
that the work in the corporate 11m"
1 1 n n A ttt V* DTI it
Its Will IIOL ue UBClcao, auu TT uvu ?.
is considered that the health of the
town is largely dependent on the
drainage afforded by these ditches,
the outlay does not appear so large;
but I confidently believe that it will
pay the town in the end to secure the
services of an expert civil engineer
to make a complete map of this town
and of the surrounding territory,
showing the fall to be obtained and
the most advantageous routes to be
pursued. Some of the ditches, no
matter how often they are worked,
seem to fail to carry off the water.
The most regular and persistent
call upon the council's funds is that
of the electric lights for the streets.
$2,400 every year is a pretty heavy *
tax, and yet inquiries elicit the information
that Bamberg is one of
the very best lighted towns in South
Carolina and that the rate charged
is very reasonable; the charge is
$5.00 per month for each arc, and
the use of the incandescents is gratis.
Small pox has claimed its share In
the expense this year; $250 will just
about cover this item. A pest house
has been rented from Mr. G. P. Harman
at $75.00 per annum, payable
quarterly; the rent for the first quarter
of 1911 has been paid.
Of the income of the town of
course the property taxes contributes
most largely; this year this item
has brought in about $5,200. There
is still about $85.00 outstanding tor
the 1910 taxes, but this may easily
be reduced to a minimum with a little
effort on the part of the next council.
Of the taxes payable last year
(for 1909) there is still unpaid about
$1.44, and this amount is uncollect- '
able as the parties have moved elsewhere;
this I believe the lowest on
record in our town, and the treasurer
hereby thanks the council for
their part in backing him up in making
the collections. It is true, although
it should not be so, that the ,
treasurer receives a great deal of
criticism 4 because he does the duty
assigned to him by the town, and
the tendency is to criticise an officer
for doing what they elected him to
" t TTrioVi fn thnnlf
ao. especially uu a nwu vw
the mayor for his assistance in
many ways, such as drawing up ordinances
and writing some letters
relative to the town. It is my opinion
that he has rendered the town a
service during the past two years
that deserves the thanks of the entire
community, for as members of
the council we know what he has to
contend with at times, and some duties
have devolved upon him which
are both trying and in the settlement
of which it was necessary for
him to use great care and good judgment.
The rent for the city hall store
have been collected each month, the
rent being $35.00, payable at the end
of each month. The Masonic and

such purposes, it is claimed. The
matter of dividing the floor up intosuites
of offices might be considered,
but the point is well taken that the - 1
town needs some kind of public hall.
The fines imposed by the mayor'*
court have amounted to something
over $700 each year, which appear* *
to be a good record.
