The catalogues of the Carlisle Fitting School were issued this week by the job department of The Herald, and will be sent out at once to prospective patrons of the school. Among the most delightful enter- < tainments given for Miss Mell Kearse < this week, was an eight o'clock din- i ing by Miss Nonie Best on Tuesday ; evening.?Barnwell Sentinel. i Mr. C. J. S. Brooker told us on Monday that he started from his farm i ' with a cotton bloom to show us, but lost it on the way. He is the second i man to report blooms this season. i Dr. Henry S. Hartzog has resigned 1 as president of Ouchita college at Arkadelphia, Ark., and has moved to St. Louis, Mo. He will represent a ^ ] large text book puDiismng nuuse. The instruments for the brass band have arrived, and the boys have gone to practicing. It has been suggested that it would be a good idea if most of their first practicing was done at the river. The third quarterly conference of f Trinity Methodist church was held in this city last Wednesday afternoon, Presiding Elder C. B. Smith, presiding. Only routine business was transacted, however. Miss Kate Lenoir, who has been teaching at Denmark, has returned home for the summer. We regret to note that on account of sickness she had to take her bed immediately upon her arrival.?Camden News. The game of base ball Monday af- ( ternoon between Denmark and Bam- ^ I berg was stopped by the rain arter the first inning. However, Denmark had scored four runs, while the Bam- j berg boys had not crossed the home ^ Mr. W. G. Kirkland, who is manager of the large farming interest of j G. Frank Bamberg, told us last Sunday that there were plenty of cotton blooms on some of the farms under , bis management. He is the first to report blooms this season. j A card from Mr. Ira M. Cope, re- I newing his subscription for another I year, states that he ie now on the Vermont, and with the fleet has been i at Philadelphia and Pensacola re- t |p eently. His ship Is now at Galveston, but will leave the 14th of this month, c and will be in New York or Boston i for the 4th of July. He says he likes t the navy fine. s The annual Sunday-school picnic s at St John's Baptist church will be ^ held on Tuesday, June 22nd. 'Rev. W. M. Jones, of Williston, will de- * liver an address. Thjs picnic is al- ' yv I ways a most pleasant 'gathering, and c no doubt there will be a large crowd * ? present, as usual. The public is cor^dially invited to attend. Services will commence at eleven o'clock a. m. Mp- s As usual Bamberg boys are ahead. In the examination for a cadetship at Annapolis, held at Blackville recent- j ly, M. L. McCrae, of Denmark, a son c ^ . of Mr. F. H. McCrae, won thb schol- c . arship. nut tne nnest recora was p made by a son of Hon. S. G. Mayfield, who was not eligible, being too young, but was allowed to stand the examination. He came out ahead, and would have won the scholarship had he not been debarred because of his youth. Just at this time we are exceedingly_ busy. On account of having to run our plant at night, we are up a |fv " good part of the night and all day as well, which handicaps - us very much in our work. Sickness in our . home also interferes with our office duties, and we would appreciate if those who are indebted to us will settle without waiting for statements to be sent them. Never have we needed money more than now. Mr. Hewitt Dickinson, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Dickinson, of this city, went to Charleston last Wednesday morning, where he was married the same afternoon to Miss Mamie Bchultz, of that city. The young couple returned home Thursday V; morning, and are at the home of his parents for the present. They will live in Bamberg, where Mr. Dickinson is employed by the Bell Telephone Company. His many friends extend congratulations and good wishes. ifev V " There were a number of people in ^ the city Monday for the visit of the Clemson-Winthrop train, but they were disappointed, as the train was 1 not to arrive until Tuesday. The er453KL-V ror was made in the original letter from Clemson college, and Mr. J. E. McMillan, secretary of the Farmers' < Union, is in no way at fault. Mr. McMillan himself came up Monday, as ^ the letter he received stated that the train would be here the 12th. The error is indeed to be regretted, as so many came Monday from the lower 3 part of the county, and the distance was so great that they could not ] come back Tuesday when the train was here. ( K: \ k;.t. * Mr. A. J. Hunter of the Midway section, brought us a cotton bloom Wednesday of this week. Mr. W. G. Kirkland not only brought us a few cotton blooms Monday evening, but he brought us a small boll as well. An out-of-town customer writes: "The job is excellent and has not been done better.

The commencement exercises of Clemson college are being held this week. Mr. Eugene Stokes, eldest 3on of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stokes, of this city, is a member of the graduating class. As to Day Current. The board of public works hope to put on day current as soon as the aew engine is installed at the power plant. The foundation is finished and the engine is here, but the generator bias not arrived yet. If any of our citizens want fans, pressing irons, or electric cooking utensils, they should see Mr. Lovejoy at once. The board is anxious to accommodate the people, but there must be sufficient revenue from the day current to pay expenses.

The Woman's Home Mission Society of Orangeburg district met here Friday night and continued their sessions through Sunday night. The attendance at all the sessions was very gram J 1115, auu mo piugiam nao | in many respects the best ever held in the district. With workers direct from the field of home missions, the speakers were practical and could give first hand information. The work of the societies of the Southern Methodist church was strongly emphasized, and it is certain that any one who attended all of the sessions or even any one session must be better informed and consequently more interested in the work. The auditorium of the church was lined with lfcrge placards which told an interesting story of what the society is doing in a ministerial, educational, and uplifting way. Miss Ducker, of the Wesley House in Augusta, was present and made-several talks,bearing along the line of her work as a deaconess. Her interesting recital of the work that they do from time to time, the incidents which naturally arise from day to day, and the great spirit of love and often of sacrifice which is necessary for carrying forward the work, made her hearers tn foal o mnrA intonco i ntoroct In W u? UAV4 V 4MWU4/N/ 444VV4 VWV ? the line of work than ever before. Miss Wright, of Orangeburg, known as the city missionary, was present throughout the conference and added much to the sessions. flfev. W. J. Snider, of Barnwell, made a most helpful talk on Friday evening on "Social Service." Mrs. Bourne, the corresponding secretary of the conference for South Carolina, was the chief speaker of i the conference, and her addresses j were brim full of interest, of information, and of inspiration. Especially her closing address of Sunday night was well received. She appeared to be a hard, earnest worker, and all members of the society in Bamberg, as well as all delegates present, must have received a new vision of the work which they have to do. The reports of the delegates from the various societies throughout the district were most encouraging. All gave good accounts of the work which they have undertaken. It was a matter of local pride that Bam UCIg UttU LUC uauuci i cyui v ui vuv district. This is due in no small degree to the unselfish work and untiring zeal of Ule president, Mrs. Kirsch. The most prominent speaker of the conference was Rev. E. O. Watson, of Washington Street Methodist church, Columbia. Dr. Watson has been heard here on several previous occasions, but at no time has he sustained his reputation as a finished and eloquent pulpit orator than at this time. Rev. T. G. Herbert, a former pastor here, was to have delivered the sermon before the conference, but was unavoidably prevented. Certainly no better substitute could have been secured than Dr. Watson. The theme of the minister's sermon was one of general uplift of the times and the necessary exertions on the part of Christian manhood and womanhood of modern times if the responsibilities are to be met successfully. The sermon was a glorification of womanhood in its best aspects, and a plea for higher intellectual attainments in modern society. The demoralizing effects of the dance, the card party, the general spirit of restlessness, evidenced from time to time by the social columns of the daily papers, were strongly emphasized. Miss Llewellyn Cleckley, the district secretary, was the moving force behind the program of the conference and how well she labored in this capacity was abundantly evidenced anna rout results of the ses J WUV **2* I'*** *** W v ? sions. Her work through the district in organizing &nd upbuilding the societies was clearly evidenced by the good reports from all over the district. Miss Cleckley is entitled to the thanks of the entire community, as well as of the local society, for bringing such an inspiring meeting into the town. Cheap Lights in Bamberg. We fear the people in Bamberg do not always appreciate the advantages they enjoy under municipal ownership of their electric light plant and water works. The plant has been in operation only a few years, yet the rate for private lights has always been 12 cents per kilowatt. We notice that in Union, where they have a municipal plant, that the rate has just been reduced from 15 cents to 12 cents per kilowatt. Union is a much larger town than Bamberg, yet the rate here has always been 12 cents. If the Bamberg plant could get enough lights to have a nice load for its machinery, we could make the rate 10 cents. Tuesday of this week we received from Mr. Jno. H. Cope a cotton bloom, plucked from his farm near Cope. "BEST REPORT IN HISTORY." So Says Trustees of Report of Carlisle Fitting School. Head Master Guilds returned from Spartanburg a few days ago where he went to make the report of the year's work at the Carlisle Fitting School to the board of trustees. The board expressed themselves as being very much delighted with the splendid showing the school had made, and declared that it was the best report in the history of the school. We publish the report in full as wp hoifovo that it will hp nf intprost to the many friends of the school: To the Board Of Trustees: As Head Master of the Carlisle Fitting School I submit the following report of the work and progress of that institution since June 15, 1910. During the summer vacation and before the opening of the session of the school just closed, about $900.00 (the exact amount can be found in the treasurer's report) was spent in repairs and improvements. Hot and cold baths were installed in each dor'mitory; forty new desks wero placed in class rooms; the open fire places were closed and grates put in; all the buildings were overhauled and put in good condition. During the session we have spent, in round numbers, $150.00 for repairs and equipment?such as stoves for class rooms, maps, equipping of study hall, etc. We have enrolled during the year 64 students, with an average attendance of 52 and an average in the boarding department of 40. Next year we are planning to put boys in both dormitories and the girls in the home of the Head Master. This arrangement will furnish accommodations for 78 boarders. About half the rooms have already been engaged for another year. With. one exception every boy in the dormitory who was not in the graduating class applied for room. Our people are interested and in a few years we expect to nave accommodations for 150 boarders?and we will have the students to fill it. My observation has been that the people of our section of the State are looking for a good school in which to place their children, and just as soon as they are made 'to realize that we have the school we will get the pupils. The work has been of high standard and the general deportment good. We have been maintaining for four months a study hall. The'boys spent one and a half hours in the afternoon and three hours at night in this hall with one of the teachers in preparing the recitations for the following day. It has proved an excellent plan to increase both the amount and proficiency of the work. The health of the students has been almost perfect. We have had no serious illness whatever. I estimate that $10.00 will cover our medicine bill for the year. The girls in our dormitory gained an average of 11% pounds from September to Christmas. I did not ascertain the average of the boys but dare say that it was practically as great. We use artesian water, from a well 535 feer deep, for all purposes. Durinsr the Dresent summer we are planning to do extensive repairing and put in many improvements. Among them: re-seating the school auditorium, enlarging the library, study hall, and dining room, and equipping one additional cjass room.* The faculty next year will be in * ? ? J- - J creased to tnree men in aauiuun uu the Head Master. This addition was necessary to maintain the standard we have set for ourselves and which has been recognized by the general board of education, for our school is now recognized as Academy class "A." The teachers for the past year have been re-elected for another year, leaving our present faculty intact. Mr. Horace B. Anderson, of the present Senior class, has been elected to fill the new place. Mr. Horace B. Anderson, the new additional teacher in the Carlisle Fitting School next year, made a splendid record in college. He is a young man of sterling character and stood as one of the best students of his class. With the teachers already in the school, and Mr. Anderson in addition, the school will be in a position to do the best work in its history. i Baptist Church News and Notices. DIRECTORY.

Attention is given in our contributions this month to State missions. The board will be very much in need of funds the last of this month, being end of the second quarter. Sunbeam Band meets Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The Demonstration Train. The visit of the Clemson-Winthrop train here Tuesday was very much appreciated by the large crowds who were present and enjoyed the practical lectures of the gentlemen and ladies in charge. The train consist_ ed of seven cars, and was in charge of Prof. D. N. Barrow, of Clemson college, assisted by several gentlemen from the college and some young ladies from Winthrop. The train arrived from St. George Monday night, and Tuesday morning, after an address from Prof. Barrow, the first demonstration was that of live stock, the cattle being taken up first. There were seven head of cattle in the train, a Jersey cow, a Holstein, and a Red Poll, two Black Angus calves, and two Hereford calves. rnese types- or aairy ana Deei cattle were discussed by the gentlemen in charge, and much useful and practical information given as to selecting cattle for milk and beef, also as to methods of feeding, etc. Next the hogs were taken up, there being four exhibited: One Red Tarn worth, one Poland China, one Duroc Jersey, and one Berkshire. There was also an instructive and interesting lecture on hog raising. During the morning the ladies of the party were giving lectures and demonstrations as to domestic science to group of interested ladies in the car. After dinner the two Percheron mares were brought out and a lecture given on the raising of mules. The college professors argued that mules should be raised in this State, and that each farmer could raise his own mules to advantage if the proper kind of brood mares was kept. Then the lectures on corn growing and other field crops took place, and the gentlemen in charge certainly worked hard, as it took practically all day to cover the various exhibits. The visit of this train ought to result in much good, and it will if those present will put into practice the suggestions made. This trip with the train over the State is no picnic for those in charge, but it is a fine idea, and the farmers generally ought to take advantage of it by attending these demonstrations at every point where the train stops. Rev. S. W. Banner Harried. Last Thursday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. Jnd Mrs. F. J. D. Felder in Glover street, Orangeburg, Mr. Samuel Winfleld Danner was happily married to Miss Pearl Evelyn Felder in the presence of a large number of relatives and invited guests. The marriage was a most beautiful home affair and immediately following the ceremony the wedding guests sat down to a most sumptuous wedding dinner. The ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. C. B. Smith, of the Methodist church. The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and ii)Lf all of the rooms a most pleasant elfect was secured by the color schemes which were carried out. Promptly at the appointed hour the bridal party entered the ceremony room. The bride with her sister, Miss May Felder as maid of honor, and the groom with his best man, Mr. F. W. Shealy, who were attended by the following attendants: Miss Alma Bowman with Dr. F. J. Felder; Miss Sallie Wannamaker with Mr. H. L. Chaplain; Miss Molly Holman with Dr. L. C. Able; Miss Pauline Dukes with Mr. F. E. Shuler; Miss Annie Rast with Mr. J. E. Shider. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. D. Felder, of that city, and she enjoys a large circle of admirers and friends, who wish for her much happiness in her married life. The groom is a Methodist minister, of Grover, S. C., of high char-! acter, and he is to be congratulated upon having won the hand of the bride as a helpmeet through life. Senator Black Here This Week. One of the most prominent commencement visitors in Greenville this xpoAk is Senator J. B. Black, of Bam berg. He Is well known throughout the State and looked upon as one of the most substantial figures in South Carolina's legislature. As will be remembered, Senator Black was appointed chairman of the committee appointed at the last general assembly to investigate conditions of health j at the State penitentiary, following a message from the governor. This was one of the most important committees appointed in recent years in the legislature and upon its recommendation the State Board of Health made further investigations. To Senator Black's committee might be i attributed a large portion of the credit for the abolition of the hosiery mill at the State prison. Senator Black stands hign m nis community, being one of Bamberg's most prominent and successful business men. His daughter, Miss Ethel, graduated from Greenville Female college last evening, the degree of Bachelor of Letters being conferred upon her.?Greenville News.
