Married in Orangeburg. ,
Miss Marie Sease, who is wellknown
and has many relatives and
friends in this community, was married
in Orangeburg last Sunday to
Mr. Ansel Fowler. The ceremony
took place at the home of Mr. Randolph
Strocker on Glover street. The
officiating minister was Rev. J. H.
Wilson, pastor of the Lutheran
church. The wedding was a quiet
affair, only a few relatives and intimate
friends being present. The
groom is originally from Atlanta, but
has been living in Orangeburg for
about two years. They will make
their home in Orangeburg.

be of much interest to the many
friends and relatives of the young
couple in this city and county, where
both are so well and favorably
known. No doubt the affair will be
largely attended.

company with Mr. and Mrs. C. J. S.

baths, and with every convenience
to be found in the high priced city
hotels. The hotel is called The
Shamrock, and is managed by Mr.

gratulated on his enterprise. The

Eentertainment at Graded School. i
Some times we are tempted to
think that the children must be ]
smarter than they used to be or they
are better trained are they have better
teachers than in the old days when
we went to school in a hickory shirt
and cloth suspenders, "galluses" we
called them then, with home made *
desks in a log school house often. '
When one has the pleasure of wit- (
ond piano, which has already been "<
purchased and is in use there. 1
During the evening the Dixie Orchestra
composed of Mr. C. W. Rentz, (
cornet; Miss Elise Rentz, piano; Dr. g
O. D. Faust, violin, and Mr. C. E.
Black, 'cello, delighted the audience g
with a number of selections, their
music adding much indeed to the ]
enjoyment of the evening. This musical
organization is a source of much
pleasure to Bamberg people, and (
their appearance in public is always
appreciated. <

nessing such an affair as was given <
it the graded school auditorium Tues- .
day evening of this week, naturally i
his mind goes back to the old days
when w'e had the "speaking" on Fri- ]
day and even the great big boys
would take stage fright and forget ^
the "pieces" they were to speak.
Now the little fellows of tender years
get up on the stage in ffycnt of large
audiences with possibly a little self- 1
consciousness but no stage fright
and go through songs and evolutions
which would have been hopeless in
the old-time school. Really, the j
training of the little ones in this g
day and time is nothing short of r
wonderful, and it shows what intelli- <
gent, earnest training can do. j
The first number on the program (
was called "The Night Before Christ- ,
mas," and the funny and interesting |
costumes of the little ones was a de- r
light to all, as well as their songs, t
acrobatic stunts, etc. T,his was par- (
ticipated in by the first, second, and t
third grades, all small children, and ^
they did remarkably well. c
"The Minuet," danced by four little
girls and four little boys was well j
executed. The little ones were dress- ^
ed in the voluminous skirts and knee j
creeches of colonial days, making a
- -1 - -T - 1
pretty spectacle as iue^ rvcyi, time
to the music in the stately minuet
now gone out of style.
The song, "Gee! It's Great to be a
Soldier Man," was a hit, the pupils t
af the fourth and fifth grades entering
with enthusiasm into the mar- \
tial music of the song, their fresh j
roung voices ringing out loud and I
ilear in perfect time. I
"The School Room's Story" was ]
rery clever, and the pupils of the ]
sixth grade gave a most creditable
presentation of what to some of them I
20 doubt is a very uninteresting sub- i
ject. S
"The Bide-a-Wee Bears," a comedy
in two acts, was the closing num- i
ber on the program of the evening, ?
this being acted by the girls and boys ]
of the high school. These young (
people were well trained. They were
self-possessed and natural in their j
manner, while none forgot their ]
'lines" or showed any embarrassment.
All in all the entire entertainment
was indeed creditable, and it (
is simple justice to say that the j
teachers who trained the children
and the children themselves are to f
be heartily congratulated. Affairs (
like these are great developers of
children, and the parents should ap- s
preciate the efforts and hard work
Df the teachers who take so much ?
time and patience, outside of their
regular work, to get up such entertainments.
The proceeds were used
to buy a piano for the scchool, or ]
rather to assist in paying for a sec

BABY BOY OWN SURGEON.
Accidentally Cuts Tongues Removing
Impediment of Speech.
How a three-year old boy accidentally
performed an operation on his
tongue that completely removed an
unfortunate impediment in his speech
while his parents were worrying
about having him placed under the
surgeon's knife, says the New York
Globe, was told to-day at the home
of Capt. Albert D. Ecke, a lawyer,
who is in the King's county register's
office.
Little Robert Ecke is one of the
brightest of the children that make
up a very happy home to-day at 182
Lincoln avenue, East New York,
where the Eckes live. The little felow
was always strong and healthy,
but from his birth his tongue had
oeen held in such a way by a growth
}f the ligaments controlling that or?an
that he could not speak plainly,
ind his father and mother, who is a
sister-in-law of the Rev. Harry P.
Miller, of the English Evangelical
Lutheran church of the Reformation,
East New York, were much distressed
They frequently spoke of taking
:he boy to a surgeon and having the
igament cut, as they had been told
;hat that would remove the impedinent
in speech, but they could not
ivercome a dread of having a child
)f such tender years subjected to the
>hock of the knife.
They were still debating the mater
of the operation the day before
Thanksgiving when little Robert was
playing about the house with his
irother and sister. The youngster,
lad got hold of a section of small
jrass tubing, part of a curtain rod,
md, childlike, had put one end of it
n his mouth and was running around
;rying to catch his sister.
As he passed a door some one
>pened it suddenly and the boy ran
igainst it full tilt, the brass tubing
leing driven with some force into
lis mouth.
His mother rushed to his aid, for it
vas evident that he had been badly
;ut; the edge of the tubing being
rorv charn Shp nrmlipri home reme
lies as best she could. To her as:onishment
the boy was soon able to
speak as well as any youngster and
sould articulate without any trace of
;he former impediment in speech.
She called in a doctor, who examned
the little fellow and told the
nother that the brass tube had performed
the service ordinarily reserved
for the surgeon's knife, and altogether
he regarded it as a very neat
jperation, though not one that he
vould recommend as a regular cus;om.
Robert's father and mother have
jreat difficulty in keeping him quiet
low. He wants to talk all the time.
'Home Mission Society.
The Home Mission Society met in
Trinity church parlor Tuesday afterloon
at the usual hour.
The chief business of the meeting,
ifter hearing the usual report, was
;he election of officers, the result of
he election being as follows:
President?Mrs. E. O. Kirsch.
First Vice President?Mrs. John
V. Barr.
Second Vice President?Mrs. J. W.
Third Vies President?Mrs. W. H.
lodges.
Fourth Vice President?Mrs. G.

VI. Jennings.
Corresponding Secretary ? Mrs.
lenry W. Beard.
Agent for the Voice-r-Mrs. R. W.
D. Rowell.
Treasurer Aid Department?Mrs.
H. Lee Risher.
Treasurer?Miss L. F. Cleckley.
The society by a rising vote expressed
its appreciation of the services
of its retiring treasurer, Mrs.
lenry Bamberg, she having by her
'aithful and efficient service brought
iorward tne society till it occupies
inancially the foremost place among
;he societies of the State.
. With- faces to the future and hope
n God, the society enters into a new
vear of service.
Medical Association.
The Bamberg County Medical Society
is already making arrangements

FATHER AND SON IN JAIL.
Held by Coroner for Death of Green
ville Boy.
Greenville, Dec. 16.?Followin
the hearing of testimony this aftei
noon at the coroner's inquest into th
death of little Irvin Wrenn, who wa
run down and killed Saturday aftei
noon by the automobile of David E
Jenkins, the jury returned a verdic
attributing the boy's death to crim
inal carelessness on the part of Jec
kins and his son, Clyde.
Coroner Batson issued a warrau
and turned it over to the sheriff, wh
placed father and son under arresl
Attorneys for the man and his so

Verdict a Surprise.
The verdict of the coroner's jur
came as a distinct surprise to practi
cally everybody concerned with th
investigation. There was a genera
feeling that the jury, like the ordir
ary coroner's panel, would hear a bi
of testimony here and there and re
turn a verdict that would not hol?
any one criminally responsible for th
death of the child.
But the twelve men, most of whor
loKrtrincr man wVlrt 1 oft tVlPI
nuic lauvi iug 1UVU, ? V?..?
respective tasks in overalls, came ti
serve on the jury, retired after hear
ing ttid^testimony and for over a:
hour held one of the stormiest ses
sions a coroner's jury has ever bee:
kno^n to hold in Greenville .county
Having finished their deliberations
they filed out of the room and wen
back to their labors, leaving with th
coroner the verdict that they ha
reached.
News Spreads Rapidly.
News of the jury's finding sooi
spread^through the streets and ther
was a general feeling of satisfactioi
over the fact that for once a core
ner's jury had acted fearlessly an<
without partiality. No new fact
were brought out at the investiga
tion. v '
Jenkins was represented by one o
the leading law firms of the city
while another prominent firm repre
sented the State. Solicitor R. A
Cooper, of the 8th circuit, who is ;
brother of the dead child's mother
took an active interest in the investi
gation.
The incident has created no littl
feeling throughout the county, and
while the public seems to realize tha
the killing of the child was accident
al, there is no little condemnation o
the manner in which the occupants o
the car acted after running down th
child.
Mighty Demand for Sugar.
Washington, Dec. 16.?Each per
son in the United States this yea
will have used about 87 pounds o
sugar, the per capita consumption o
this article having increased from 8
pounds in 1910, 59 pounds in 191
and 39.5 pounds in 1880, accordin;
to statistics gathered by the bureai
of foreign and domestic commerce
The total sugar consumption thi
year will exceed 8,000,000,00"
pounds, whereas in 1900 only 4,500,
000,000 pounds were used.
t c a/-\ti oil m a
i ne cos* ui sugar cu mc Luu?umv
this year will approximate $4,000,
000,000 more than $1,000,000 a day
One-fourth of this sugar came froD
the United States proper; anothe
fourth from Hawaii and Porto Rici
and the remainder from Cuba. 1
large increase in the production o
beet sugar in this country is noted
1,400,000,000 pounds having beei
raised against 1,000,000,000 pound
in 1910 and less than that amount ii
