Attend District Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Edist

day of last week was well represent

chapter, of this city. Those attenc

E. Bamberg, Harry Murphy, Robei
Black, G. F. Bamberg, John Coone
and B. W. Simmons.
Good Fellowship Smoker.
The good fellowship meeting of th
Business Men's Bible class in Guild
hall on Thursday night was attenc
ed by some fifty members and friend
of this growing and enthusiast:
class.
Over the coffee cups and cigar;
the men discussed their work an
made plans for larger things. Er
thusiastic talks, straight to the poir
were made by Messrs A. B. Utsey, .
C. Guilds. A. W. Knight, H. M. Gn
"hanj, W. D. Rhoad, S. G. Ray, an
others.

meeting similar to tha
held last Thursday night once ever
month and a banquet once a quarte:
charging the social committee, A. i
Brabham, chairman, with the dut
of providing for these functions. ]
was also determined that a Sunda
night lecture course be arranged fc
one Sunday each month, for whic
course a number of distinguishe
speakers with a message for me
will be secured from abroad as we
as from local men. The class als
decided to place "go-to-church" bai
ners on the streets of Bamberg, un
ing church attendance, and place
both these duties in the hands of th
devotional committee. Mr. W. I
Rhoad, chairman.
Live suggestions were made t
Sheriff Ray concerning practical cha
ity work, and Mr. Ray was mac
chairman of a committee to look a
ter raising and dispensing funds f(
that purpose.
Possibly the most enthusiast
thing of the evening was in decidin
to extend a challenge to the men
class of St. Paul's, Orangeburg, f(
an attendance contest through tl'
month of May. The St. Paul's churc
has a membership more than twi<
as large as that of the Trinity churc
in Bamberg, and the town of Orang
burg being much larger than Ban
berg, numerically, it looks like tl
odds are against the Business Men
class in such a contest, but at pre
ent the class in Bamberg outnumbe:
that in Orangeburg by five or ten, ar
if entnusiastic work counts, Orang
burg will have to bestir herself 1
beat the Bamberg class. The cla
calls for every man in Bamberg ar
surrounding country, not identify
with any other Bible class, to con
to their support.

>r The programme combines in delight-1

iy is of that delicious order that makes
it you "happy around the heart," rather
than the broad sort that makes!
5t the guffaw. So far each programme i

ir one before it. Bamberg is to be

furnished. All classes, all ages and

Officials of the Bamberg. Ehrliardt
and Walterboro railroad announced
yesterday that beginning on Sunday, (
May 2nd. a passenger train service
will be inaugurated between Bamberg
and Green Pond. As yet the schedule
has not been definitely arranged. Mr.
Murchison, district passenger agent !
of the Atlantic Coast Line, is expected
in the city from Charleston with- |
in the next few days to go over the
situation and arrange a schedule.
The passenger service will be put
on by the Atlantic Coast Line railway.
which has leased the B., E. &
W. The freight service will probably
be changed in schedule at the
same time the passenger service is
started, but the schedule has not yet
been announced.
Trains will be operated from this
place through to Green Pond where
connections will be made for Charles- '
ton trains of the Coast Line. The
passenger service will provide a great
convenience to the people of the
county, and will place the people of
Ehrhardt and the lower section of '
the county in easy access to the '
county seat.
Miss Blanche Hair Queen. i
Tuesday the balloting closed for ,
the queen of the chautauqua festival, ,
and Miss Blanch Hair was declared ,

.Miss Blanche Hair 9,796. ,
Miss Gladys Free 3.785. (

Miss Lalla Byrd 2,391. .
of our nationai life, with special ref- '
erence to rural conditions. 1
On Wednesday, Hon. B. D. Carter !
delivered an address direct and
pointed as to general conditions in '
Bamberg and possible improvements.
Misses Parrott and Richardson, of '
the State demonstration work in do
mestic science, made addresses and
gave practical demonstrations that 1
were received with appreciation by a 1
goodly audience.
The Automobile Parade.
By far the leading feature of the
Chautauqua festival was the automo- ,
bile parade yesterday morning. The ,
large number of automobiles enter- ,
ed were gorgeously decorated, and ;
the parade presented a magnificant j
spectacle, doubtless the prettiest ever ]
witnessed in Bamberg. In addition
to the large number of automobiles (
in the parade, there were a number *
of other vehicles, including a goat- ]
team, a wheelbarrow, and numbers ,
of prettily decorated bicycles. The ]
parade was led by the queen and her J
escorts, beginning at the court house (
square and proceeding to the graded
school, then across to Carlisle street,
down to the Carlisle school, where
Miss Blanch Hair was crowned queen, ,
accompanied by her maids of honor, .
Misses Lalla Byrd, Kate Rentz and
Gladys Free. The ladies cannot be
commended too highly for their un- '
tiring efforts in getting up the pa- ,
rade, which brought large crowds to ^
the city, and much praise is due all ^
the members of the committees and .
the various merchants and business ,
houses which contributed to the sue- ^
cess of the occasion. The prize for (
the best decorated machine, $5.00
.was awarded to LaVerne Thomas & .
co., and the second prize was award- (
ed to Dr. H. F. Hoover's machine.
Every Feature Good. <
Every feature of the programme ,
was good. Some features were unusually
fine. Bamberg will not soon
forget the charming work of the La- .
Dell concert company and the Stroll- (
ers quartette. Elsworth Plumstead's
impersonations and Hal Merton's
magic will tend to keep us in a good
humor and make us forget our troub- ,
les long after they are gone. Dr. (
Frizzell's "Visions and Ideals," with
his clear statement of problems and
assurances of power to grapple with ,
them, will inspire us to noble things,
and Dr. Sears has shown up the
grumblers, quieted the kickers, and
made us all feel like less epitaphy
and more taffy for this life.
Bamberg is to be congratulated
upon the success of the entertainment,
and thanks are due the ten
men who brought the festival here.
Death of Mr. R. J. Hightower.
Mr. Riley J. Hightower died at his
home five miles from the city on
Tuesday, after a long illness. Mr.
Hightower was stricken with paralysis
about ten months ago, and never
recovered rrom tne siroKe. ne iwrmerly
conducted a meat market in
Bamberg, and was well known and
had a large number of friends in the
city.
The remains were interred yesterday.
Mr. Hightower is survived by
his widow and five children, who
have the sympathy of a large circle
of friends and acquaintances.

conference surpassed the preceding j ci(
ones. A splendid delegation?the ; be

conference, there being between thir- ni;
ty and forty persons in attendance) 0'<
upon its sessions. Another fact pa
worthy of note was that only a few nu
who were on the programme were tr<
absent. A number of visitors from at
Orangeburg and Charleston districts, of
respectively, were present. The lie
presence of a number of ministers at
was appreciated and helpful to the nif
young people. Th
The key-word of this assembly was re:
"Soul-winning." From the first session
on through to the close of the wi
last we were conscious of the pres- ri\
ence and power of the Holy Spirit, an
We needed this power and it was felt, ch
In these meetings "first things" were
rightly put first, and we received a
great blessing because of this. Some

ing both State ana district confer- of
ences, are of the opinion that this bu
gathering of young people had all* 10
through it such a sweet spirit. Cer- an
tain it is that some persons have t*11
?aught a deeper vision of things than wc
we had formerly; some have conn- so
to see some of the results of person - tei
al work and to crave more than any- ft.
thing the real ability to successfully j va
engage in service for the Kingdom's j lai
growth.^ .More and more we have c'c
tome to see and value the importance. wa
and great blessing which results from i
the personal touch. Inspiration andj^6
information and encouragement and n0
sweet fellowship come to us. It is a m?
joy to meet with young people who
have the Lord's work in their hearts.

Saturday morning?and at eachj
session of the conference?devotion-; 0n
il services were conducted by some
minister or layman present. These leg
ire planned in order to prepare us j C'a
spiritually for what is to follow. De- ye;
lighted were we to have Rev. H. j e(j
Srady Hardin, of Denmark, to pre- /Xi
face this day's meetings with a talk j Th
in "Soul winning?the real busi-1 ?
less of the league." His remarks wi
were most appropriate, most convinc-i pe
ing, most lasting. The points stress-1 0f
=d were "Consecration, Preparation
md Service." Rev. Achille Sassard,'up
if Olar, addressed his hearers on j jn<
'The devotional meeting." The need ha
for connecting our lives with the'S0;
higher life was made plain by the 0f
illustration of a street car motor to
which is connected by means of a' Su
pole to the electrical current. As the. al<
:ar is of no service without it ap- wj
propriates the electrical power wmcn |
is ready for distribution; so is the da
devotional meeting of no value un-j h<
les6, through prayer and consecra- fic
tion, it is connected with the spirit- re;
aal power at hand. 1 ed
An open conference on "How*" Mi
"When," "What," "Why" of the de- Tf
votional meeting came next, and was
entered into by a number who were en
present. of
Dr. Watson B. Duncan, of Orange-' di;
burg, brought us a message on "The a
devotional meeting, the power house da
of the league." This address was! Tl
good. wi
Reports of officers and delegates i of
came at this juncture. Some very! fr<
good things were gleaned from the a
reports of the latter.
Dr. E. O. Watson, in Rev. W. A.
Beckham's place, gave us a helpful. nn
impressive talk on "The personal an
touch, the touch of power." There j
is a vital need for us to realize the' Mi
touch of one life with another, and
a greater need for us to practically Mi
and not theoretically put into earn- B1
est. faithful use the spiritual power
which our father supplies earth's Df
children with. Mi
An interesting talk on "The junior
league" was made by Miss Alma
Black, who is now superintendent of \ Mi
the junior league of this town. More j M:
and more, church people are coming
to see the place of the young life in j x<
the church and to encourage ana a<
teach and help the child to assume
his proper place and function w
in the church. When children see m;
that you are counting on them they
will seldom fail you. Their enthusiasm
is marvelous to behold.
Dr. Duncan told us something
worthwhile on "The Knights of
Ezelah."

Rev. C." B. Burns, of Cope, spoke
"The league and missions."
Saturday evening we had the privlte
of hearing Dr. S. J. Summers, of
meron, who has, up until this past
ar, been district president. He servin
this capacity for quite a while,
le susa bjiestchrdlutoaihrdluuaoin
e subject assigned to him was this:

which came in the range

A number of our speakers opened
their hearts and related to us
stance after instance of how God
d used someone to speak to their

Mothers' Sunday.
The first Sunday in May is recognized
everywhere and observed generally
as mothers' day, and everyone
is urged to attend church that day
wearing a white carnation, the mother
flower. Let every nian, woman
and child in Bamberg pay this tribute
to mother on that Sunday. If
"mother" is still with you to ble6s
you go to church with her; if you
are away from "mother" and cannot
go to church with her, go to church,
and write a letter to the?for you?
greatest woman that ever lived; if
"mother" has gone "home" leaving *
you longing for the "touch of her I
vanished hand and the sound of her n
gentle voice," go to church with J
thoughts of her, and resolve to live "
worthy of her. Go to church every
Sunday; it will do you good and it
will do others good. Go to church
certainly on the first Sunday in May
?mother's day.
Radishes by the Million.
Messrs. J. W. Hill and William
Hughes this and last week shipped a
large quantity of radishes to the big
markets. One day last week they
snipped over me a., & w. rauroaa
almost a solid carload to Cincinnati.
The. car was loaded with radishes entirely.
except a few crates of other
truck. Tuesday they shipped abont
75 crates by express over the Southern
from Bamberg. Most of the
radishes were sold before shipping.
They were packed in ice. It is stated
that this is the first time radishes
nave been planted for shipping on
such a large scale, but the venture ,
promises good results. Messrs Hill
and Hughes have four acres planted
in radishes this year.
A Progressive School.
A very pleasing and interesting
programme was rendered by the
pupils of Hunter's Chapel school in
their new home on the evening of
April 9th. "The Old Village School"
was successfully staged as a play
while other features of the programme
were the school songs and
the instrumental music furnished by
the Misses \Folk and brothers, of
Clear Pond, assisted by local talent.
The very pretty decorations added
charm to the occasion.
The accomplishments of the school
year are noteworthy. During this
time a modern school house has been
built to meet the needs of the community.
A large proportion of the
cost was met by private subscription,
which was supplemented by
State aid. The building committee
deserves especial mention for its
!,-* f- 'it
energetic and thorough work.
Manifesting their own deep interest
in the work, the school children,
under their enthusiastic and efficient
teachers, have raised during the year
a total of more than eighty dollars.
This sum was raised by cotton picking,
a school entertainment and pinder
shelling, and has been invested
in better equipment of the building
and of the work. In keeping with
the enthusiasm of the work, an elegant
piano has been placed in the
school?largely by the efforts of the
young men of the community and
aided by the school children and p
their friends.
,Not only in a material way has ^
progress been made, but in the actual
school work advancement is j
noteworthy.
A literary society has been organized
and has held regular meeting?.

the study and protection of the birds
and much interest is shown by the
pupils.
An additional and stronger point
of contact between the school and
home is formed by the system of
credits toward class records, givea ^
each pupil for work done at home
such as house work, and chores fcr

efficiency and usefulness of the
children in the home as a result of
this plan.
