At the State convention last week ^ Mr. J. A. Wiggins was made a mem- j ber of the committee on credentials and Mr. H. C. Folk a member of the committee on platform and resolu- j tions. j Several from Bamberg attended ] the Lutheran picnic at Mt. Pleasant church, near Ehrhardt, last Thurs- i day. This picnic is an annual affair, y and is always largely attended and ( enjoyable. < The civic league meeting, which i will be held at the home of Mrs. C. e R. Brabham, Jr., Thursday after- ? noon, at 5 o'clock, will be a very i important one and every member is requested to be present. I Mr. J. C.

' 1 Mr. S. M. Goodwin sent us a few stalks of fine cotton a few days ago. The stalks contained a number of forms, and no doubt Mr. Goodwin will be the first farmer in this section to market a bale of cotton. Mr. J. B. Brickie has purchased a , lot next to his present location and < will commence the erection of a commodious garage and machine shop in c a few days. It will be 34 feet wide j and 75 feet long, and will be of ( brick with plate glasa front. 1 A meeting of the county Democra- ? tic executive committee will be i held in the court house here next i Monday at eleven o'clock for the pur- t "pose of reorganizing and getting all matters in shape in conformity with the new constitution adopted by the State convention. Saturday of this week is Decora- c tion Day and a legal holiday, and the ? postoffice will observe Sunday * hours, while the rural carriers will 5 not serve their routes. The office will c be closed after the morning mail until A 5.30 in the afternoon, when it will c be opened until six o'clock. s The many friends of the school will be glad to know that Miss Hattie 1 L.

Exercises Held Thursday Evening. 0 Dr. Morse Speakes. The Bamberg graded andj high school closed the session of 1913- c 1914 with very appropriate exercises S Thursday evening. Long before the 2 time for the exercises to begin, the ti school auditorium was packed with d enthusiastic friends of the school. v The exercises were opened with b prayer by the Rev. W. R. McMillan, tl rhen the program which consisted of a i prophecy and valedictory from c Mildred Knight and Edith Rice, of n the graduating class and instrument- a al and vocal music by Miss Black's music class and girls of the high ii school, were carried out well and s< the pupils did themselves credit. o The class prophecy by Mildred ii r- - i- . i .-i- - A tvnigm, ana uie vaicuitiui) uj juium u Rice were excellent. These papers w showed a great deal of skill and d thought, and these pupils did credit o :o themselves in delivering them. f< The address of the occasion was de- h ivered by Dr. Josiah Morse, of the t< University of South Carolina. Dr. b Morse selected as his subject, "Char- s] icter." This address was very ele- w rating and was a treat to those who a leard it. c< After the address, the superinten- w lent delivered diplomas to the fol- s< owing: Misses Ellen Hazel Black, B tfarrie Dell Free, Mildred Knight, a: 3dith Vivian Rice, Gertrude Smoak, n tnd Ola J. Zeigler. These were State p ligh school diplomas, and the pupils vho received them are entitled to N inter the freshman class of every S :ollege and university in . the South, ei is this school is one of the ten s] chools of this State accepted by the 01 Southern Association of colleges and y? iniversities. j( Following the delivery of diplomas, o: )rizes were delivered by the Rev. n V. R. McMillan. The medal for the Y greatest improvement in music was tl iwarded to Myrtis Atterberry. This p nedal was given by Miss Urma Black, w vho has charge of the music depart- w iient. The medal given by Mrs. 1c Vlurdaugh to the pupil who made li ;he highest average in the seventh g; ?rade was won by Ruby McMillan, g< ivith Mary Lee Grimes and Gene n ?rice close competitors. The prizes tl jiven by Mrs. Murdaugh for being o leither absent or tardy were award- ir ;d to Ruby McMillan, Mary Lee lj Crimes, and Clarence Priester. vi These exercises marked the end of o: i very successful session. The en- ci ollment both in the grammar school b lepartment and the high school was p nuch greater than for any other ses- p: ;ion. It is hoped that, with the com- u nercial department in the course, n: lext session will be even better for he school than any previous one. p] . S A Faithful Teacher.

The Woman's Home Mission soiety, of Orangeburg district, met in t. George Saturday morning, May 3rd, and continued the sessions brough Sunday night. The attenance throughout the meeting was ery good, and the program prepared y the district secretary with much bought and prayer, was enjoyed by 11. With workers direct from the ouncil and from the field of home rissions, the speakers were practical nd could give first hand information. Miss Regan, of the Wesley house, 1 Orangeburg, was present and made everal talks, bearing along the line f her work as a deaconess. Her iteresting recital of the work they o from time to time, the incidents -hich naturally arise from day to ay, and the great spirit of love, and ften of sacrifice, which is necessary Dr carrying forward the work, made er hearers feel a more intense invest in that line of work than ever efore. Mrs. Bourne, the correponding secretary of the conference, as as usual brimfull of the work, nd her report from the missionary auncil was so comprehensive that it as indeed a treat to all who were 3 fortunate as to hear it. Mrs. :ourne can easily adapt herself to ny audience, as was so forcibly delonstrated in her talk to the young eople Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Yarborough, formerly of ashville, Tenn., now a resident of partanburg, S. C., the council sup ? * -A - " T-* nntenaeni. or supplies, was mc umci weaker of the conference. She has nly been in South Carolina for three ears. Her bright personality and mal manner has won for her scores f friends, and no annual or district leeting can afford to leave Mrs. arborough out. She not only sees re bright side of things herself but retty soon all who come in contact ith her realize that religion never as designed to make our pleasures ;ss. Her talk Sunday night outned her department of work, and ave a few pathetic instances of the ood these boxes have done for the eedy preachers (God's heroes) on le frontier and poorer sections of ur own State. Hearts could not retain untouched as she referred briefr to the lack of laborers in the ineyard of the Lord and the needs f the poor unfortunates and outists in our home land. Our hearts urned within us as she so earnestly leaded with us to take Jesus for our ilot, the only pilot that can lead s safely home. Her earnest talk tust, and doubtless will, bear fruit. Rev. W. H. Hodges, of Bamberg, reached before an attentive audience unday morning. The theme of his jrmon was one of general uplift of le times, and the necessary exertions a the part of Christian manhood and omanhood of modern times, if the reatest good is to be accomplished. h&reports of the delegates throughut the various societies were most acouraging. Miss Clecklev's work through the istrict in organizing and upbuilding le societies was clearly evidenced by lese reports. The delegates and isitors to the conference cherish leir stay with the warmhearted eople of St. George as a delightful hase in their lives?host and hostess E each home doing their utmost for le comfort and entertainment of ieir guests. As a recreation, the gentlemen of t. George conferred a genuine pleasre in the delightful automobile rive given the delegates and visitors ) the historic grounds of old Inian Field camp ground. From the beautifully worded and eartfelt welcome by the pastor, Rev. 7. E. Wiggins, to the warmly &preciative response, all through the issions, to the final benediction, this, iie seventh meeting of the Woman's [ission society of Orangeburg Disrict, was voted the most happily uccessful ever held.

Invitations were sent to every member of both foreign and home societies and. with very few exceptions, each invited guest responded in person, filling the spacious parlors at the hour appointed. In presenting Mrs. Yarborough, Mrs. E. 0. Kirsch, president of the Home Missionary society, spoke of her as a "bureau with every drawer filled with good things," and these drawers of beautiful thoughts she emptied for the pleasure and benefit of those present. 'Mrs. Yarborough holds the position of Bureau of Supplies for the Home Mission society in South Carolina, and so well did she present the cause for which she labors, so # beautifully did she tell of the blessedness of Christian fellowship, the joy of service to one's fellow creatures, not alone to the poor and needy, but to the tired and discouraged in life's warfare, that many caught a vision of the higher life and resolved to think more of others and less of self in the future. On motion from Mrs. Holmes, a rising vote of thanks was given Mrs. Yarborough for this most helpful and enjoyable address. Soft strains of music were now heard from an adjoining parlor and Miss MozelleCopeland accompanied by Miss Annie Lou Brrd sang two lovely sacred solos. With the serving of delightful block cream and pound cake and pleasant social intercourse, this lovely party came to an end. CHARGED WITH MURDER. Arrests Made in Connection With Savannah Killing.

Dr. Henry Smith Williams, of New York, an eminent specialist in nervous and mental diseases, summing up his investigations concerning alcohol and its effects says: "I am bound to believe, on the evidence, that if you take alcohol habitually in any quantity whatever, it is to some extent a menace to you. If you do this, I am bound to believe, in the light of what science has revealed: "1. That you are tangibly threatening the physical structures of your stomach, your liver, your kidneys, your heart, your blood vessels, your I nerves, your brain; "2. That you are unequivocally decreasing your capacity for work in any field, be it physical, intellectual or artistic. , "3. That you are in some measure lowering the grade of your mind, dulling your higher esthetic sense, and taking the finer edge off your morale; "4. That you are distinctly lessening your chances of maintaining health and attaining long life; and, "5. That you are entailing upon your descendants yet unborn a bond of incalculable misery." Where Jones Fell Down. At a social affair the other night they were speaking about the unfortunate faculty 6ome people have of always saying the wrong thing, and Miss Corrine Hampton, of Columbia, S. C., chief sponsor for the Confederate reunion at Jacksonville, Fla., told of the sad break made by a party named Jones. Recently Jones attended a fashionable ball. During the evening he met a pretty young woman dressed in soft, filmy white, and wearing the cutest little slippers that ever encasQ Hoi'ntv fnnt Tnstpntlv tllft .Tones Cb UUlill/J ivvw. eye dropped in that direction. "Pardon me," apologized Jones, blushfully, "it was very rude of me, I know, but I couldn't help noticing your slippers." ~ "I see," smiled the young woman, good-naturedly. "What do you think of them?" "What do I think of them?" exclaimed Jones, with large emphasis; "they are simply immense!"?Phil-! adelphia Telegraph.
