Bro\yne, of Camden, Revs. W. H. Hodges and O. J. Frier and jp$ ^?ther gentlemen of this city. Many Of the party indulged in a fish down the river in the morning and met at |the place designated at diner time ||| for a most delightful fish dinner. |p .The occasion was a most pleasant ix ' One, and those preachers certainly pg. enjoyed the magnificent fish of the |||' Edisto. pvDaughters of Confederacy. The daughters of the Confederacy were entertained by Mrs. J. W. Barr . and Miss Llewellyn Cleckley Tuesday afternoon. After the business of the fir meeting was transacted, several short fe * accounts of the district meeting held at Orangeburg several weeks ago, wprp eiven and added enthusiasm ? aroused in the work of the U. D. C. chapter by these reports. However the interest of the afternoon centered in the stirring war. time tales so thrillingly told by Mrs. E. R. Hays. It almost seemed as she pictured the suffering of our men, many each day brought home to die, others wounded and sick unto death, passing through our town often in open box cars with the beating rays of the sun in their faces, that we of the younger generation do not revere M- the memory of these heroes as we should. But then, as now, there were brave and feeling women, and Mrs. Hays told of the baskets of provisions, bottles of milk, and buckets of water which the loyal women would bring to the relief of these soldiers as they passed through on these loaded trains. As she feelingly exclaimed: "How can men offer their paltry fifty cent pieces and dollar bills to help erect a monument to these men, when they gave their all? even their lives!" \ \ Delightful refreshments were served as a fitting close to this feast of reminiscences which the Chapter had so much enjoyed. v.; .X ; Clean-up Day in Bamberg. The civic league of Bamberg invites every man, woman and child in the town to joint with them in the celebration of June 6th, the first Tuesday in June, as "clean-up day." April 10 was clean-up day all over the State by invitation of the State board of health but was not observed in Bamberg. Let us not delay longer! One June oth several different committees wil have grounds around the churches thoroughly cleaned and put in order. The fol1 1 A A 1 J ^ lUWing eatract snuiuu uc v;<iiciuii> read and the advice followed by every citizen of Bamberg: Householders should begin at home. Doubtless every citizen feels that his house, his outhouses and his backyard are clean and doubtless he is mistaken. On this one day of the year every man, woman and child and all their premises should be made cleaner than they ever were be| fore. Dirt and trash of all kinds, old papers, tin cans, decaying wood, the remains of baby's Christmas toys, the 'pile of decaying food under the kitchen window, the trash in the gutters that you have been planning to move, but haven't got around to, the fecal accumulations about the outhouses, the chicken head by the woodpile where last Sunday's victim was executed?clean up, pile up and burn or haul off all of them and give your fence and outbuildings a fresh coat of whitewash. Leave the front yard for the last?it probably is doing fairly well. When you get j through go over and offer to help your neighbor?he will refuse it, but h won't need help next time, ana you will have aided the cause that much. Small boys like to kill things; let them know that every can of water emptied kills hundreds of mosquitoes, every mass of decaying filth burned is death to thousands of flies, every coat of whitewash buries millions of germs?give arbitrary numerical values to these different operations and let the kids keep score of their "killings." Put them in aprons and let them daub whitewash to their heart's i content. Business men, clean up. Clean your backyards, claen out your stores and cellars, wipe off all dust and mold from old stock?clean your windows, your sign, your pavement and the ditch beyond it. Hotels and restaurants offer a vast field for cleaning up in dining room, kitchen and bed rooms. Put on fresh linen everywhere, thus flying the flag of cleanliness. The municipality can do its share by cleaning public buildings, parks, and streets, and most important of all, by aranging to remove all waste, trash and garbage as they are placed in convenient places by householders. Let railroads try just this once tne experiment of having their cars, waiting rooms and toilets in cleanly and sanitary condition. What Will Be Accomplished. Aside from the moral effect of such a campaign, the beautifying effect and the educational value of such a demonstration, the following good results are sure to followin some degree: 1. Fewer flies during the spring and summer. 2. Fewer mosquitoes this summer; therefore 3. Less typhoid, malaria and hookworm and diarrhoea disease. 4. Freedom from disgusting odors from your own or some other backyard. 5. General improvement in the appearance and sanitary tone of your home town. 6. The advertising value to you and your tcwn which such a cleanup day will bring. All over the country, the holding of a "clean-up" day is accepted by the outside world as evidence of enlightenment, sanitary culture and desire for the best in mbrals and physique on the part of those participating.

On Sunday morning the annual sermon was preached at the Methodist church by the Rev. Robert S. Truesdale, pastor of Central Methodist church, Spartanburg. The church ? 11 nn J Vf * was wen liueu, auu ami. JL X delivered a most inspiring sermon on Service. He pointed out that a life of true, humble service was, after all, the only life worth while, that service would dispel doubts and fears, and that service would bring physical strength. He pointed out the extreme danger of us asking for high position in the world when we did not really know what we were asking for. * On Sunday evening Mr. Truesdale again occupied the pulpit and spoke to the Young People's Christian Association. H? stated as his subject "He went a little further," taken from the account of Christ's night in Gethsemane. This was a most timely address to the young people, showing them that the real heroes of the world were the men and the women who "frc\ a little further" than uai cu (.u ov - their fellows. Mr. Truesdale was warmly received by large audiences both morning and night. Board of Control. The annual meeting of the board of control was held in the headmaster's office Monday morning. This was a lively and interesting meeting. Many plans looking to the forward movement of the school were discussed. The board is determined not to stop until Carlisle ranks, from the standpoint of equipment and efficiency, along with the best. Within the next few weeks work will be begun in getting the plant in excellent shape for the fall opening. tiraauaung ii/xemscs.

The applause was deafening when he stated that Headmaster Guilds and the other members of the faculty had been Delightful Fish Fry. There have been many pleasant occasions on the banks of the Edisto in the way of fish fries, but there has never been a more enjoyable one than that given by Mr. D. M. Eaves at the gum log club house last Thursday in honor of his friends Messrs. Wassum, Vaughn, LaFar, and Ham, of Charleston. Mr. Wassum is superintendent of the Charleston division of the Southern Railway, Mr. Vaughn is chief dispatcher, Mr. LaFar is special agent, and Mr. Ham is connected with the legal department. A number of the business men of the city were present to meet | the visitors and enjoy the delightful spread served. There was an abundance of fish. both stewed and fried, the cooking being in charge of Mr. Noel Padgett, who is a veteran in the matter of preparing fish. All present did full justice to the delightful menu, but after dinner Senator J. B. Black presented the belt for the biggest fish eater to Mr. Wassum. In presenting the belt Senator Black stated that he had worn the belt himself on occasion, and his only regret was that it was to go out of the county. Mr. Wassum responded gracefully in acceptance. There was entire absence of formality and the staid business men cast aside the cares of business for the day and enjoyed themselves in a free and easy fashion, and the time passed rapidly with merry jest and conversation until late in the afternoon, when all returned to town, declaring that no similar occasion had surpassed this. Mr. Eaves was given a vote of thanks and three cheers for placing his friends under such delightful oblirrof inr? 4- r\ Viim ^ailUU IU JL11JLU* District Meeting of the Woman's Home Mission Society.

Chorus?"Good Night, Good Night, Beloved"?Ciro Pinsuti. Benediction. Literary Address. The school auditorium was taxed to its untmost capacity but even then all the crowd could not be accommodated. Dr. Jones was introduced by Rev. Peter Stokes, formerly pastor of the Methodist church here and now of Trinity church, Charleston. He delivered a most masterly and eloquent address. He pointed out three requisites of a successiui me. The first was that we must come to know ourselves and the best that there is in us; second, we must recognize the best that there is in other people; third, that we must come to know God in the world. Dr. Jones 9 made it very plain that no life could be really successful without knowing and recognizing these things. List of Graduates. The Head Master delivered certificates to the following young men and young ladies: Miss Leila Axon, Orangeburg; Miss Leonard Folk, Bamberg; Miss Annie Ruth Hodges, Orangeburg; Miss Eva McCue, Bamberg; Carlisle Bradham, Clarendon; Stacy Rucker, Calhoun. Done Splendid Work. The school has done a splendid work this year and has had a successful year in every respect. We are looking forward to larger and better things another year. And we will have it! Let every citizen of Bamberg do his or her part! If our citizens will only support the earnest energetic efforts of the Headmaster, we can build up here one of the strongest and most largely attended preparatory schools in the State, Better buildings and equipment i? needed, and the loyal friends of the school should see to it that its efforts for the education of the youth of lower South Carolina are nol handicapped.

Simmons was dying, but, on account of the train connections, got here too late for the funeral. The pastor and churcli join the family in mourning the death of Deacon Simmons. A good man and faithful member has gone from us. The Sunday-school was rathei thinly attended Sunday considering the bright pleasant day. But the contribution was good, being oui regular mission day. There was no preaching service Sunday at our church on account ol the commencement exercises of the Carlisle Fitting School. Pastor Frier gave a talk on the recent session of the Southern Baptist convention before the B. Y. P. U. Sunday afternoon. We regret that there were so few present tc hear it. The hour of meeting for the B. Y. P. U. was changed to 5 o'clock p. m. A collection was taken also for the students' fund of the Seminary. The warm days of summer are coming on, and we will have to put on a little extra spiritual energy to keep our services from lagging. Put God's kingdom and his righteousness first in your, lives, which is but the normal practice of true religion, and this will prevent dragging. Trustees Have Not Met. We saw in last week's paper where Miss Marion Higgins, of Newberry, was re-elected at Cuffy Creek school with a raise of salary, but think there must have been a mistake, as tVna trn ofooc hovo n nt mol vof J. F. C. Fire Last Thursday. Last Thursday morning'about ten o'clock the home of Henry Rice, a colored man who works at Pondsea Dairy Farm, was totally destroyed by fire. The house was situated near the oil mill and contained several rooms. The fire started in the kitchen, and is supposed to have caught from the stove flue. Some of the furniture and household goods were saved. Rice had some insurance, btu not enough to cover the loss, which is several hundred dollars. Program District Meeting.
