Mrs. Enbanks Dead.
Mrs. Nancy Eubanks, wife of Mr.
t. c, ruhanks. died at their home
in this city last Friday evening after
an illness of about four months. She
was afflicted with paralysis. She
was formerly Miss Matticks, of Augusta,
and had lived in Bamberg
about one year, Mt. Eubanks being
boss carder at the cotton mill. She
leaves a husband and seven children.
The burial took place Sunday morning
at Beulah Methodist church
at White Pond.
Damage at Lodge.
In a letter renewing his subscription
Maj. Joe Carter, of Lodge,
writes us: "We are so weather
beaten that I can hardly tell you
how bad it is since the cyclone. The
continued drenching rains every day
adds further damage to the crops.
Cotton is damaged at least 35 to 40
per cent., blown out, and is now
sprouting in the burr. What is
open seems as though it will be lost,
and that was 35 to 40 per cent, of
the cotton crop, which was a fairly
good crop. The farmers here seemed
to be fairly well pleased at the
cotton crop had this calamity not
come to it."
Mayor's Court.
Some interest was created last
Thursday morning when Chief of Police
S. A. Hand, assisted by Night
Policeman H. W. Moody and Magistrate's
Constable J. W. McCue, visited
three stores on Main street
where a search was made for intoxicants.
The places visited were the
restaurant of John Cameras, the
grocery and fruit store of S. Yeitrakis,
and the store and market of
w w Rftard. The raids were made
on warrants issued by Mayor Smoak.
At the restaurant of Cameras several
dozen bottles of Belle of Georgia
beer were found, it being hidden
under the floor, a hole being sawed
out for this purpose. Some "Beerine"
was seized at the store of Yeitrakis,
and at Beard's about a half
barrel of bottles with no label on
them. Tife beverage Mr. Beard
claimed was not intoxicating, having
no alcohol in it, and it was not unlawful
to sell it. The bottles were
stored in his meat refrigerator.
Cameras plead guilty to selling intoxicants
and was fined $100, the
trial taking place the same day.
Cameras paid his fine.
Yeitrakis desired to plead guilty,
but Mayor Smoak postponed his
case, as Yeitrakis did not have any
money to pay his fine and he gave
him a few days' respite in order to
raise the money. He was therefore
released on a bond of $200, Dr. Geo.
F. Hair .going on the bond.
The trial of Mr. Beard was postponed
as well, as he claimed that the
beverage he sold was not an illegal
drink. We understand that the city
authorities will have some of it
analyzed. However, we are informed
by Chifef Hand that the cases
against Beard do not rest on the
seizure. There are two or more
cases against him and his clerk, and
Mr. Beard's bond was fixed at $200
and that of his clerk at $200, Capt.
A. P. Miller being the bondsman.
When these cases will be tried ' is
not known.
Saturday afternoon a white man
named Ambrose Williams hit a negro
named McClellan in the head
with an axe handle and inflicted painful
wounds. The affair happened on
the main business street, and was
the continuation of a difficulty which
had started out on the new railroad.
It seems that the two were watering
their mules and the negro pushed
Mr. Williams away from the pump
and struck him on the arm with a
metal bucket, skinning his arm, and
also cursed him vilely. So when Mr.
Williams saw him on the street Saturday
afternoon he let him have the
axe handle with full force, striking
him several severe blows, knocking
two holes in his head and giving him
a wound on the neck. Mr. Williams
was arrested and is now out on bond
of $10, the case not having heen
tried so far. The negro was badlyhurt,
but is out again and getting
along all right. He is a Sumter negro
and is said to be an impudent
fellow.
Tom Graves, a negro who lives on
Mr. Jno. H. Cope's plantation near
Cope, was tried Tuesday by Mayor
Smoak on the charge of selling liquor
on August 26th. The mayor reserved
hiB decision.
CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL.
Primary Department to be Added.
Faculty Enlarged?Many Improvements
Made?Prospects Bright.
The Carlisle Fitting School will
begin its nineteenth year September
20th. The prospects for a prosperous
year are unusually bright. It is
believed that the school will enroll
just as many boarding students as
can possibly be accommodated.
Primary Department.
At the solicitation of friends in
town the authorities have put on the
primary department for another year.
A teacher, educated at one of our
leading colleges, with a record of five
years of most successful teaching,
and coming most highly recommend
ed by those in a position to know her
work and character, has been elected
to do this work. Those who patronize
the primary department are assured
that they will receive most
I excellent service.
Improvements.
A considerable sum of money is
being spent in improvements and re.
pairs. Handsome opera chairs havh
been ordered for the auditorium, and (
it is expected that they will be in
place for the opening. This will give
Bamberg one of the best auditoriums 1
in this section of the State. The old <
class rooms will be to some extent <
re-furnished, and two additional class (
rooms established. The library has
been moved to the flnst floor and will
have splendid quarters another year. [
Faculty Enlarged. \
The teaching force at the Car- (
lisle Fitting School next year will be .
the "largest in the history of the
school. Four men will be actively
engaged in teaching in addition to
the music and primary teachers. With
this force it will be possible for the
school to do the best work of its
career.
In two more weeks the boys and
girls from all parts of South Carolina
will be coming into our little
city. Let us give them a royal welcome
and make them feel at home
among us.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Pastor Frier and wife have returned
from their vacation trip to Washington,
D. C., reporting a most delightful
and instructive trip. Pastor
Frier took in the Sunday-school convention
at Olar before reaching
home.
The Sunday-school convention was
most hospitably entertained by the
good people of Olar. The attendance
was good considering the
weather. The urogram was hamper
ed by the absence of so many who
were appointed to speak on the various
topics, but a lot of good things
were said. The address by Miss
Clara Johnson, of Elko, on the benefit
of the teachers' training course
was one of the best things of the
convention. The convention did a
wise thing in electing her as supervisor
of teacher training in its
bounds..
Pastor Frier preached at both
! hours Sunday, and little Miss Von
Etta Rentz was received for baptism
at the morning service. Two candidates
now await the solemn service.
The pastor announced that he would
preach next Thursday evening, if the
inclement weather did not interfere,
and probably Friday evening also.
Why should not some others decide
: now for Christ and begin a Christian
[ life? Why should not you church
I members speak to your children and
(friends about this important decision?
Tha assoeiational year and pas
toral year, too, are nearing their
close. Let us betake ourselves to
rounding up the year's work.
Stereopticon Lecture Friday.
Next Friday evening at 8 o'clock,
a free stereopticon lecture, showing
many scenes in India, will be given
at Trinity Methodist church. This
will be the sixth of a series of lectures
and will no doubt be a very
interesting number. Over eighty
views will be shown.
U. D. C. Meeting.
Mrs. John Cooner will be hostess
to the Francis Marion Bamberg
Chapter U. D. C. next Tuesday af
ternoon, the 12th, at 5 o'clock, at
her home on Railroad Avenue.
Every member is urged to be present,
as plans for the unveiling of the
monument to our Confederate heroes,
will be discussed. After the
summer's rest it is hoped that the
Daughters will resume work for the
fall with much enthusiasm.

Death of Mrs. Kinard.
Mrs. Lilla Kinard, wife of Mr. G.
L. Kinard, died at the old home
near Ehrhardt Sunday evening. The
burial took place Monday afternoon
at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church
near Ehrhardt, of which she was a
member.
Mrs. Kinard had been sick for
several weeks with typhoid fever.
She was at the hospital in Columbia,
but recovered sufficiently to be
brought home some weeks ago. It
was hoped that she was on the road
to recovery, but some days ago her
condition became serious and she
grew worse until the end. She was
about 39 years old, and leaves a
little daughter, Ruby. She was a
daughter of the late Capt. W. E.
Sease, and is survived by her husband,
mother, sisters, and brothers,
who have the sincere sympathy of
their many friends. Mrs. Kinard
had been living in Bamberg for the
past two years, and the friendB she
made here sorrow at her untimely
death.
Mr. Kinard is the cotton weigher
for Bamberg, but for several days
he had been at the bedside of his
wife, while his brother, Mr. W. H.

Mr. Brabham Elected.
J. F. Carter, Esq., who has been
a member of the board of public
works for a year or more, has resigned
because of other pressing
public duties and Mir. A. M. Brabham
has been elected by council to
fill the vacancy. He will finish out
the unexpired term of Mr. Jno. H.
Cope, to which Mr. Carter had pre
viously been elected. Mr. Brabham
was elected by city council at its
meeting Tuesday afternoon, and has
already entered upon the duties of
the position. He is a public-sprited,
progressive, and energetic young
man, and the other members of the
beard expect good work from him.
Census Figures.
From a bulletin sent out by the
government census bureau we note
that the total population of South
Carolina is 1,515,400. In 1900 the
total population of the State was 1,340,316,
and in 1890 1,151,149. The
white population for 1910 is 679,162,
in 1900 it was 557,807, and in 1890
the total was 462,008. The negro
population figures are as follows:
1910, 835,843; 1900, 782,321, 1890,
688,934.
For Bamberg county the figures
are: Total population, 1910, 18,544;
1900, 17,296; white population 1910,
~ ??a. * r\ n n r /?ro. n/trtula+irm
0,0 ( U j lyuu, ?J, DUO, ucgiu puy
1910, 12,874; 1900, 11,638.
For Barnwell county the total population
In 1910 was 34,209; in 1900,
35,504; whites 1910, 9,561; 1900,
10,088; negroes 1910, 24,648; 1900,
25,416.
A study of these figures is interesting
and shows that the negro race
is decreasing in population in the
lower tier of counties. Where they
are going to is a matter of conjecture,
but it is our opinion that they
are dying off. We do not believe
that the negroes are increasing in
the low country. Tuberculosis and
other fatal diseases are taking them
away rapidly, no matter if they do
breed rapidly.
The Cotton Market.
Cotton is selling in Bamberg today
(Wednesday) for 11% cents the
pound. Receipts of the week 434
bales; receipts for the season 859
bales.

Visit of the Good Roads Train.
The citizens of this section will be
given an opportunity to learn about
the importance of good roads and
the best methods of building and
keeping them in repair, wHen the
"road improvement train" being operated
by the Southern Railway and
affiliated lines working in conjunction
with the United States office of public
roads, .visits Bamberg on Thursday,
September 21st, at 9:30 a. m.
and Denmark at 2 p. m. the same
day.
The train consists of lecture and
demonstration coaches equipped with
a stereopticon, exhibits and working
models, and is accompanied by
Messrs. L. E. Boykin and H. S. Fair
banks, two government road en-1*
gineers, who from wide experience
are qualified to give the most valuable
information on good roads
building. W. J. Hurlbut, of the
land and industrial department of
the Southern Railway, goes with the
train.
It is the object of the "road improvement
train" to not only stimulate
interest in the good roads mo*ement
but to give practical instruction
in the building of roads and
their repair.
All the lectures and demonstrations
are free. The lecture and'ex
hibits are bound to prove neipiui w
to all interested in good roads and
the experts will be ready to answer
all questions whose solution may be
puzzling the individual as to how best
to improve his road.
The working models will be shown
in actual operation, the motive power
being furnished by a gasoline engine
installed for the purpose, and with
these the experts are enabled to explain
what materials make the best
roads and how they are made and repaired
at the smallest necessary cost.
The "road improvement train" will
be on the road continuously all the
summer and fall, completing an extensive
tour over the whole South
at Richmond, Va., at a good roads
convention to be held there in October.
The tour began at Mobile,
Ala., May 1st and a warm reception
has been accorded the train at all
stops.
Those in charge of the train extend
a cordial invitation to the people of
this community to attend the exhibiting
All nnnntv nffiMalfl and road
supervisors are asked to take part
and the ladies will be especially welcomed.
To Electric Light Customers.
We wish to call the attention of
all patrons of the city light plant to
the fact that on the 15 th instant Mr.
E. V. Camp, of Dal ton, Ga., will assume
charge of the light plant, and
the commissioners of public works
wish to make a change In the method
of running the business.^ Heretofore

deal of time and is very expensive as
well as unsatisfactory. Under this
system it took a week or more each
month to collect the bills, and as the
superintendent must of necessity do
this work it interfered greatly with
the service, as he cannot give the
proper attention to the plant and be
on the streets so much of the time
collecting.
Therefore we have decided to mail
bills hereafter, and customers can
either mail checks to Mr. E. H. Henderson,
town clerk and treasurer, or
to Mr. Camp, or they can pay either
of these gentlemen in person by calling
at the office of Mr. Henderson
or at the plant. We have also made
arrangements with the Bamberg

The present chairman of the board
has served the town in this capacity
since before the plant was installed
at a great sacrifice, and the other. v m
members give their services at a
great sacrifice as well. Therefore
we feel that it is not asking too much
of our people to co-operate with us :iM
to the extent of calling at the bank
and paying their bills or mailing 8
check. It is your plant and we are |
endeavoring in every way to reduce
expenses and make the investment
a profitable one for the city, and the
old method of personal collecting was ^ |
the largest item of unnecessary expense.
Our rate for current is less ; J
than any town this size anywhere,
and we would like to still further re- *
duce the price if possible. Help us
to make the plant ?. success, for it is
the property of the citizens of the
town. Make any complaints to Mr.
Camp, who will be glad to adjust '
them. '
Bills will be mailed the first or
second of each month, and they must
be paid by the 10th of the same
month. If this bill is not paid by
that 'time the lights will be cut out M
without further notice. We will
make no exceptions, so save your- . v
selves and the board trouble.

Booth to be Installed.
Mr. R. N. Pfaff, manager of the m
telephone exchange, was In the city
last Friday afternoon and told us "
that he had signed a contract withN J
the Peoples Drug Company for the
installation in their store of a telephone
booth for long distance and
local service. The booth will be
equipped with the regular automatic
slot device. By this device the per- .4
son wanting to talk drops the money
in the slot before he talks and the
operator at the central office gives
you the connection after you drop in >
the money. Mr. Pfaff says the booth
will be installed just as soon as pos- ^
sible. This is a progressive move
for Bamberg, and one which will be
a great convenience to the traveling
I public, as they will not have to go
i down to the central office for long
distance conversation.
"Uncle" Joe O'Bannon, now 84,
