Sambmj ibrralh Thursday, Nov. 27,1913. SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. The dispensary here seems to be doing more business than most of the stores. Thanksgiving services at the Baptist church this (Thursday) evening at seven o'clock. Everybody invited. Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg entertained Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. John Cart, of Orangeburg, who is visiting her. Mrs. Henri H. Copeland will entertain this (Wednesday) afternoon in honor of Mrs. John Cart, of Orangeburg. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hooton, Masses Harriedelle Free and Josephine i Adams went to Augusta last Friday | to see "Ben Hur." ' . The water mains should be extended and the lighting of Main street should be improved. Why can't we have a "white way," like other towns? The report of the census department of the number of bales of cotton ginned in Bamberg this season up to November 14th was 22,139, against 15,479 bales last year. It looked almost like fair week in Columbia last Thursday. People from all parts of the State were there to see "Ben Hur," which was presented at the opera house in that city. Our local hunters are enjoying much sport these days, as the hunting season commenced with the 15th instant, and partridges and other game birds may now be killed until March 15th next. According to the report of the war department, made to the governor recently, the military companies at Bamberg and Barnwell are inefficient and will be mustered from the service. We learn that Mr. Henry F. Bamberg will soon move to the house recently vacated by Mr. R. S. Simmons, while Mr. Geo. A. Jennings will move to the house which Mr. Bamberg will vacate. Mr. Jennings's house will be occupied by Mr. J. J. Smoak. The many friends here of Mrs. J. D. O'Hern will learn with pleasure that she will again make her home in Bamberg. She and her little Son will no doubt come here in a few weeks and make their home with her * ***? * J A Ton_ parents, Mr. ami iuis. vrcv. nings, Mr. Jeff J. Hughes, who was shot and seriously wounded some weeks ago by Mr. William Steedly, returned last Saturday from a hospital in Charleston, where he had been carried for treatment. He is up and about and is making a quick recovery. There is considerable cotton in the fields to be picked yet, but it is being gathered right slowly now. The weather was so warm and clear it .opened rapidly at the beginning of the season, and much of it has been lost by blowing out of the bolls before it could be picked. However, the yield is so good and the price has been so high that we suppose farmers are not particular, even if they do lose a little on the ground. Calhoun has certainly set a pace for many counties in the State in the matter of good raods. An automoAA ^ loot pP Dlie iny IU Wiuuiuia laov ffWM. w , vealed the fact that Calhoun is away I ahead of Bamberg, Orangeburg, or | Lexington, so far as the roads traveled were concerned Especially was this true of the road from St. Matthews to the Lexington county line. This is a beautiful stretch of highway, being wide and graded properly, and clayed. Many counties in the State could and should follow the example of Calhoun. There has been a number of real estate deals in this city in the last few weeks. Mr. J. F. Brabham has sold his residence to Mr. R. M. McCartha. Mrs. G. W. Garland has bought the house and lot on Railroad Avenue, next to Mr. A. Rice, and will eplarge and improve the property at an early date. Mr. N. A. Hunt, of Charleston, has bought the Johnson Hotel property on Main street, and we learn that he will enlarge and improve it before long. His plans have in view giving Bamberg one of the most modern hotels in the State. 1 A number of persons from Bamberg went up to Columbia last Wed-j nooAou onH ThiircHav tn SAP. t.hp l>laV. ! U^S7UV*v? U<UU ww www 4 m , "Ben Hur." Among those who went were: Mrs. J. A. Byrd, Miss Annie Lou Byrd, Mrs. H. H. Copeland, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, Mrs. S. H. Counts, Miss Pearle Counts, Messrs. C. R. Gillam, P. B. Murphy, C. E. Black, ( Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Dickinson and daughter, Rebecca, Mrs. J. W. Price, A. W. Knight and daughter, Miss Mildred, R. M. McCartha, Mrs. G. W. Garland, Mrs. W. E. Free, Miss Louise Martin, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Free, Mrs. C. B. Free, Misses Pearle, Alma, and Urma Black, Dr. H. J. Stuckey, Miss Estelle Rutledge. Miss Mary Livingston entertained ! a few friends Tuesday evening in ! honor of Miss Nan Osborne, of Spar| tanburg, who is visiting her. I Mr. Jas. F. Charles died at the | home of his father at Piedmont MonI day of this week. He was 28 years ' old. Mr. Charles had visited in Bamberg on several occasions, and had numbers of friends here, who will regret to learn of his death. He had been sick for several months. Mr. Wm. Steedley, who shot and ^ seriously wounded Mr. Jeff J. Hughes . some weeks ago, has been released from custody, as there was no war- J rant issued for him and he was only ' j held in jail awaiting the result of Mr. Hughes's wounds. As Mr. Hughes is up and about and recovering rapidly, it seems that there will < be no prosecution of the case. Mr. Decania Dowling is the first j farmer in this section to make the experiment of building brick houses for tenants on his farm. He has a lot of bricks at the railroad here which have just been unloaded, and 1 in a 6hort time he will begin the t I erection of several brick tenant * houses. No doubt they will be cheap- * er in the end than wooden houses. 1 The new brick dormitory at Car- 1 lisle School will soon be completed, ? and it is a handsome building, one c that is a credit to the town and the school. During the summer when c the canvas for subscriptions was made a number of our people promised to subscribe to the building fund this fall. This has been a prosperous season, and now is the time for them t to help in this good work. At least ^ $2,000 more is needed and needed right now. No investment will benefit the town more than this dormitory, and every citizen should help. ^ Fire Saturday Night. ? s Last Saturday night about eight r o'clock the home of Geo. Kearse, a c respectable colored man, situated out beyond the colored Baptist church, caught fire from the explosion of a 1 lamp and was burned to the ground, t Very little furniture was saved. There h was insurance on the building and t contents amounting to $700 or $800. 11 The house of Ellanora McMillan, & situated next door, also caught and was burned, but here most of the T furniture was saved. Wf have not learned whether there was any in-" surance on the building and furniture. ? This is the second time Kearse has lost his home by fire in the last few a years. t The Cotton Market. < * Cotton is selling in Bamberg today (Wednesday) for 12% cents the e pound. Receipts are dropping off on this market, the recipts for the a season to date being 10,365. -# - Paper-Cap Pistols. The holiday season is fast approaching, and for the benefit of our D readers who do not know the law on the subject we are here publishing v the law as to the sale of paper cap pistols: "It shall be unlawful for any person, firm of corporation in this State, to sell, keep for sale, or offer for sale, 11 or give away, any toy pistol in which caps or cartridges are used, or any v caps 6r cartridges for such toy pistol, i - - - + Every person, firm or corporation vio- * lating the provision of this section ^ shall, upon conviction, be fined not ex- c ceeding one hundred dollars, or be F imprisoned (in case of an individual) , for a term not to exceed thirty days." ^ Fire Crackers. a The law of South Carolina regu- \ lates the size of firecrackers.
