And the new automobiles continu to make their appearance on ou streets. Everybody's buying 'em. Rev. J. B. Boseman will preach a the Baptist church Sunday mornini at eleven o'clock and at 7.45 in th evening. Public invited to attend. With the advent of the sprin r>/-vTv?Q ft?h trips at the riv acasuu vuuiv * , er, one of the most frequent socia diversions of the people of Bamberg Next Monday is the first Monday ii the month and salesday. Master H C. Folk is to sell at Denmark th< property of the Denmark Machim Works. The sales at the Bamberg post office for the month of March, jus ended, were the largest in the his tory of the town, showing that wi are growing right along, as there ii no better way to judge the growth o a town than by its postoffiee receipts The receipts of the Bamberg Post office for the year ending March 31s v were $800 more than a year ago, tha is receipts from March 31, 1913, t< March 31. 1914, were $800 mor< than from March 31, 1912, to Marcl 31, 1913. Pretty good raise for om year. Messrs. H. W. Johnson, W. G Hoffman, and G. Moye Dickinson of this city, were delightfully enter tained at a fish fry last Thursda; on Mr. Joe Fender's place, nea Ehrhardt, by Messrs. W. Max Wal ). / ker, Phil Padgett, Ben Rentz, an< Joe Fender. It is stated that the Southern Rail way will soon put a new train fron Charleston to Atlanta. If this nev ? ??? nuitr service is put uu, it nm -i ? a convenience to people in this sec tion. The train going to Charlestoi will pass here about six o'clock in th< morning and arrive about ten o'clocl at night, giving a much longer da; in Charleston. The postmaster at Ehrhardt write us that an effort will soon be madi to get two new rural routes out fron that office. Rural free delivery is i ' great developer of any country, am we hope the efforts of the good peo , pie in that section will be success ful. More rural telephones an< more rural routes will keep the whit< people on the farms and develop th< / country. * The postmaster here has writtei Congressman Byrnes and asked hin to use his best efforts to have an ex jPerimental free delivery service es tablished at this office. We are no at all sure that the department wil make the experiment at Bamberg as one town in the district alread: | . has the service, but we are goinj after it with the intention of gettinj free delivery for the patrons of th< office if it is possible to do so. Mr. W. C. Wolfe, of Orangeburg was in the city Tuesday with his en gineer. They were here for the pur pose of taking measurements an( getting blue prints showing the ter rpiuals of the Bamberg-Ehrhard Railroad, with a view to getting t< work on terminals and connectiofi with the Southern Railway as earl; as possible. Track laying on th< road has proceeded to a point abou four miles from town, and the rail will be laid to Bamberg in two week or less. Carlisle School Wins. The Carlisle baseball team playe< its first exhibition game Friday af ternoon, when they crossed bat with the Denmark team on th grounds of the latter and defeate them 6 to 2. The Carlisle boys di< not allow their opponents to mak the circuit unfc^l the ninth inning Coach Merchant is happy over th way his team showed up in thi game, and is feeling more and mor confident that he can successfull defend the State prep championshi won last year. The Carlisle tear Friday, with but three exception! L x was composed of men on the cham pionship team. Perhaps two or thre other exhibition games will be pla> ed before the regular season open on the local grounds, April 10, wit the Charleston High School. The students have just finished u the final examinations for this quai ter. These examinations are usuall counted the hardest of the year an there is always more or less rejoi( ing when they are over. Postmaster Appointed.

So | ? far it has been impossible for Coach Merchant to decide who will com- ? ^ pose the chosen nine, but they hope to be in trim pretty sqon to defend t the honors which they won last year ^ as "State prep champions." T 3 They have back with them seven of last year's team, who are show ing up stronger than ever. The new players are proving to be ? pretty good material to add to the squad. t , = Church to Be Dedicated, e The Baptist church at Hilda will g be formally dedicated Sundav morn ing, April the 5th, at eleven o'clock, f ? / 1 with the following program: 1 Prelude?Doxology, invocation.

Owens, or a number of years the popular ection master of the Atlantic Coast -ine railroad, died at his residence ast night at 11 o'clock of arterio ;chlerosis. Mr. Owens had been in ill lealth for some months, but had been ible to return to his work. However, or the past week he had been ill. To Mmo intn tnwn vpsterdav fore ioon to attend some business, his ihysician having told him that the nd was near. He called in his phyician late in the afternoon, yesterlay, and, telling him that he was onscious of the approaching end, .sked for something that would reieve his breathing, which had be:ome very distressing. Dr. Mathews, the attending physician adninistered some pallative and sat >v him till the end, which came very >eacefully. He leaves a wife and everal children. Missionary Society News. The missionary societies, home ind foreign, are making this year a special study of the temperance sitlation at home and in ^11 lands. It s a well known fact that but for :he devastation wrought by strong Irink a very large part of our work vould not be .needed. To the student )f these things it is startling to see hat back of the great avalanche of ntemperance is the lust for gold, den would exploit the weakening ind debasing appetites of their fellow nen to fill their own pockets. They vith Satanic cunning have even turnid toward the children to train a lew generation of drinkers who shall ie ready to take the places of those vho are daily going down into the \ntor Hnrlrnpsc; nf a drunkard's hell. It is interesting and encouraging ;o note among the temperance workers an ever growing number of the rreat ones. Emperor William of Gernany after a careful study of the iffects of alcohol has declared himself a total abstainer and in the army ind navy discourages its use among he enlisted men. And now the Czar of Russia is iroused by the fearful havoc wrought rniong his people, and a complicated situation he has to deal with as the government has monopolized the liquor selling and the revenues of :he country are largely derived from :his source. Among the host of great ones in mr own land who are lined up on the :emperance side are President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. The growing power and strength of Hir cause should be a source of great encouragement to us. Let us hope ind pray on, work on. God is leading the fight and final victory is sure. Gift for the Baby. A very acceptable little gift for a laby and one which is easily made ind is costly only in time and in the lumber of intricate stitches is a number of cap strings. These can be aundered separately and can either ie sewed on the cap or pinned with tiny gold pins. These little pins shquld accompany the cap strings. Very fine batiste or sheer lawn should be used, cut into three and one-half inch strips, fifteen inches iong, which are then hemmed by aand. The ends may be made as elaborate as desired. Dainty hem Btitching with an edge 01 tatting made of 70 thread is a charming finish. A tiny scallop with a beading insertion of real lace is also lovely, embroidered ends with tiny wreaths of forgetmenots and eyelet 3ots may be used. The L l=? T H F a. i 111.
