Up to February first Cotton Weigher Steedly had weighed 11,864 bales of cotton: The annual Washington's birthday banquet will be given at the Carlisle school Monday evening. The last meeting of' the county pension board will be held at the court house on the first Monday in March. A great deal of cotton has been sold in Bamberg recently. The price at present is around eight cents, middling. The county assessment books will ^ * Af*AT. be closed on uie zvui msi. auu # that date a penalty of 50 per cent. ( will be added. Cotton seed in Bamberg is selling , for around thirty cents a bushel, j which is said to be a very good price, < considering the price of cotton. ] Mrs. Robert Black will entertain 1 this (Thursday) evening in honor < of Miss Thelma Bailey, of Greenville, 1 and Miss Mayo Rountree, of Willis- i ton. Among the recently appointed postmasters are Mr. Henry B. Grimes at Lees, and Mr. E. W. Duensing at ] Midway. Both gentlemen were re- i appointed. < There were no services Sunday 1 evening at the Baptist church. The s pastor. Rev. W, R. McMillan, as- 1 sisted in the ordination of deacons < at the Denmark Baptist church; A hearing on the matter of H. J. Brabham, bankrupt, will be held in " r'horioctnn npxt Monday, at which Mr. Brabham will apply for confirma- 1 tion of the composition heretofore ! offered. * ^ The public is cordially invited tc attend school exercises, the celebration of Washington's birthday, on Monday night, February 22nd, at at Clear Pond school, beginningiat 7:30 1 o'clock. | The frame work of the flour mill | has been erected.

The machinery < for the mill has been purchased and , is expected to be installed about j April first. , The many friends of Master Per- < ry Klauber will learn with regret ] of his illness of pneumonia. He now ,] has a trained nurse in attendance ' upon him. It is hoped that the little j s fellow will soon be out again. 1 The miscellaneous shower for the ' Methodist parsonage last Thursday 1 was quite a success, and many new i furnishings were added to the par- J sonage. The parsonage has recently been repaired, and Rev. Mr. Watson 1 will soon move in with his family. i Thursday night about eight o'clock ' the residence of Miss Carrie Bamberg wjjs discovered to be on fire. An alarm was sent in. and the fire was I soon extinguished with only small damage. It is presumed the fire caught on the roof from the chimney. Wheat experts say that as soon as danger of frost is over a top dressing should be put on the crop. Farmers should*bear this in mind. There is a large acreage planted in wheat in Bamberg this year, and it is expected that a considerable crop of grain will be harvested. ! A "Fertilizer and Economy Day" meeting was held at the court house ^ Saturday. Rev. W. R. McMillan and Mr. James A. Wvman made interesting and instructive addresses. The day was set aside by Governor Man\ ning for discussion of the fertilizer problem ?nd the question of economy. The cotton acreage bill has been repealed, but from all information available it is pretty certain that there will be very little cotton planted io this county. The farmers have nearly all planted some wheat, and they are preparing to raise all the hog and hominy they need right at v home. The Farmers Gin company up to last Saturday had ginned something over 3.600 bales of cotton, which is about 200 bales in excess of the total amount ginned last season. On Saturday the ginnery ginned about fifty bales, but most of it was verybad cotton, and was hardly worth ginning. Last week was the most delightful 1 weather we have had since last fall. ^ There was no rain for ten days pre- ^ vious to .Monday. The farmers put ' in some good work on the farm. ^ which was much needed. It is stated that the unusual fall of rain this ' season has caused all farm work to! 1 i ] bo backward.. j ^ Three good farm mules for sale! ' cheap.

Public Works Commission Meeting. A meeting of the Commissioners Df Public Works was held Monday at the office of the jhairman, Dr. George F. Hair. Commissioners Hair, Kirsch and McCrackin were present. It was unanimously decided that extraordinary Jelinquent claims should be turned aver to the city attorney for collec:ion by suit. No other business of importance was transacted. i Stockholders Meeting. Last week a meeting of the stockholders of the Peoples Drug company ;vas held, at which officers were elect >d for the ensuing year. The Peoples Drug company was organized ibout seven years ago with a capi:al stock of $5,000. The following officers were elected: President?James A. Wyman. Secretary, treasurer and manager ?T. J. K el ley. Board of directors?J. A. Wyman, jr. Frank Bamberg. G. Moye Dickinson, C. W. Rentz, J. ,V. Hill, E. H. Henderson. Colored Methodist Church. The colored "M. E. church is being erected and will be pushed to completion as fast as the weather will permit. All the material has been sought, the majority of which is on :he ground or being shipped. When completed it cost between $5,500 and $6,000. The trustees have in hand ibout half enough funds to complete the church.. A number of the white friends subscribed to help them when they began to build. Arthur S'immons has been appointed to solicit aid from' their white friends. rhev lamented Mr. H. J. Brabham promised $2"^.00 to be paid when they began their church and said in hie loot cirt-nots rr> nnp of the of Seers, "Should I not get up again, [ have told my wife, and she will ?ive it." The officers wish to thank all the white friends for their former help ind for what help'* they may give ir. the future.?Contributed. Ghent's Branch to Be Bridged. Supervisor L. P. .McMillan informed us last week that he purposed to bridge Ghent's branch in a short time. He was not familiar with this crossing, but seeing the articles in this newspaper in reference tov.it, he went up there and examined it, wisely deciding at once that it should be bridged at once. He states that the wonder is it was not bridged long igo. He hopes to reach that point with the county chain gang in the aext two weeks. The gang is now at work on the road near Salem church, ,n the Govan section, and it will work sn up by Hightower's mill to Denmark and at that point will start on the road to Ghent's branch and when the stream is reached the bridge will VAO/1 M*il1 olcn ho UC UUUL. 1 1UO 1 \SC4Vl ??*.** worked up to the county line, and when all this work is done that will be a first-class highway. In fact the road bed is good, but it has not been worked in some time. Mr. McMillan now has a floating ?ang which goes over the county repairing bridges and fixing very bad places in the roads, as he finds this much cheaper than having the worklone by private parties. It seems to be the idea of some who do work on the roads that the county has plenty if money and they charge too much Tor their work, so Mr. McMillan evolved the idea of this floating gang in order that very necessary repairs tan be made without so much expense. Recently this gang has done ;ome much-needed work on the Canion's bridge road, and it will soon be sent to the road from Denmark to Lees, as there are a few bad places in that road which need work badly. It is Mr. McMillan's idea to cover :he county just as rapidly as possible ind fix the worst places first, as the roads have been so badly cut up by ;he very bad weather of the past :hree months. It is hoped he will liave the Bamberg-Denmark road scraped right away, or as soon as the weather will permit, as this is the most important highway in the county, and is used more than any other. Baptist Church. Prayer meeting at the Baptist church Thursday, 7:45 p. m. Subject: "Stickabilitv." Young people are especially invited. Sunday morning subject of sermon: "Are preachers still needed?" Sunday evening, subject: "The dread detective." W. R. MCMILLAN. Junior League Entertains. Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock the junior league of the Methodist church gave a delightful Valentine party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Graham. Miss Alma Black had general supervision of the entertainment, while the charming little Miss Rebekah Graham acted as hostess. First Shipment in the State. Jones Bros, on Saturday received a shipment of horses and mules, which is said to be the first shipment to be received in this county or State. It has been noted that very few horses and mules are being purchased this year by the farmers, though there has been a considerable demand locally for farm animals. Killed fyg Wild Cat. In the window of Spann's Market there is on exhibition the stuffed hide of a very larg'e "bob-tailed" wild cat, killed about two weeks ago by Mr. Leon Sandifer, about four miles from town. Mr. Sandifer discovered that some animal had caught one of his chickens. After partly devouring the fowl, the animal had buried the remainder for future consumption. Mr. Sandifer set two steel traps, and soon caught the marauder, which proved to be a large wild cat. The animal measures about two feet in length and about one foot in height. Epworth League. There will be a very interesting programme for the Epworth league for next Tuesday night. The subject will be "Lyric ;Poetrv of the Bible." There will also be some special music. All are invited to attend this meeting. Missionary Items. Some one has said: "You have to keep running just as hard as you can to stay where you are." Standing still would mean slipping back. We must move forward, and rapidly, in order to keep pace with our own work and with the great movements of the time. We must keep running li we iaKe our wuiiuenui u^i/ui ?.umtv and share in the great movement of evangelizing the world. We are face to face with our tack, we must do the work, we must make good. J We would urge that our church be, come a missionary society and that every woman become a member. I "The thought that leads to no action is not thought, it is dreaming; and if our church is to be a missionary society, we must get down to the task. We cannot do personal work, we must do the things that Jesus i did. Let us be not only fervent in | spirit, but diligent in business. May we during the new year go forward ?forward to the world conquest, forward in service, forward in faith, j forward in gifts for the work, forward in love! "I heard him call: Come follow; that was all. My soul grew dim; My soul went after him; I rose and followed, that was all. j Who would not follow, if they heard this call?" ?Contributed. Wesley Bible Class. Last Sunday morning at the Methodist church a men's Bible class was formed. In response to the announcement of Rev. E. O. Watson a fairly good number met at the church at ten o'clock # last Sunday morning, and plans for a Wesley Bible class were formed. Committees were appointed to nominate officers and a teacher, and the next meeting will be held next (Sunday morning at the church. Every man who is not now connected with a Bible class is earnestly and cordially invited to attend and join the class. These classes have been organized in numbers of towns, and a great work has been done. Study of the Bible is the most interesting, ev^n if one is not very religious, and time spent in sucli study is well spent. Wasliington's Birthday. Xext .Monday is Washington's birthday and a legal holiday. The banks of the city will be closed, and the postoflice will observe Sunday hours. The office will be open after each of the morning mails arrive, and it will again be open about ~>:M0 in order that stamps may be purchased and packages dispatched for the afternoon mails. It will be open after the evening mails arrive. The rural carriers have holiday, and will j not go out 011 their routes. - WE _ Have Them For Sale ^ AND ^ j They Must Be Sold [> We have a fine lot of Horses and Mules on hand, which are offered for sale cheap.
