(N The South Carolina railroad commission visited Bamberg recently on a tour of inspection of the Walterboro division of the Atlantic Coast Line. Previous to coming to Bamxberg, a conference was held with the business men of Walterboro in regard to putting into effect a change of schedule between Green Pond and Bamberg. It was proposed by some of the Walterboro people to put on a double daily passenger service. An objection to this seems to be that the passenger traffic on the line is small, and it is not probable that any steps will be taken or that this service will be insisted upon. The members of the railroad commission are Messrs. G. McD. Hampton, chairman; John G. & % Richards and Frank W. Shealey. ? Brakeman Lost His Leg. Rm r?r?hvi11p Dp** 13. "\fr. M G-. !

Cop.e, section master on the Walterboro division of the A. C. L. railway, died at her home in this city late Monday afternoon, after an illness of only a few days. The remains were carried Tuesday morning to ner iormer home at Yemassee, where interment occurred. .Mrs. Cope is survived by her husband and two small children, who have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. Though she had resided in Bamberg only a short time, Mrs. Cope had made many friends here, and the news of her death was received with deep regret by a large number of acquaintances. Miscellaneous Shower. < One of the prettiest and most enjoyable events of the season occurred 1 i J Honnrnhflr on icisi rnuaj aucniuuu, 10th, when Mrs. Bernard Vance Kearse, of Olar, entertained with a miscellaneous shower, complimentary to her sister, Miss Sudie Ritter, who will soon become the bride of Mr. Henry Cart Glover, of Walterboro. The day was an ideal one. Not a cloud could be seen and with the warm rays of a bright sun so beautifully shed round, everything wras suggestive of the coming event. A large number of friends and relatives responded to the invitations and every anticipation was fully realized. The neat, comfortable home was transformed into a picture of loveliness with its tasty decorations of green and white. Garlands of vines, intermingled with flowers, traced the rooms, wrhile a handsome bunch of blooming narcissus ornamented the centre table. In a cozy corner were a mass of potted palms and ferns with graceiui iira-pei ics auopcuucu caught with bouquets of real carnations. This the bride-elect occupied, where her brunette beauty was displayed to an advantage, so becomingly gowned in a suit of satin. Scarcely was there time for congratulations or good wishes when the door opened wide and another sweet scene appeared, little Miss Gladys Virginia Kearse and Master J. W. Jenny in -a fairylike manner delivering express. Not often do we see such a lovely collection of gifts. After these were inspected and commented on cards and pencils were distributed and each guest requested to compose an acrostic on the two names. These were read by Miss Cressida Breland and were indeed rich and amusing. Mrs. J. L. Copeland received the prize, a cut glass bon-bon dish, which she presented to Miss Ritter. Next on the programme was a sumptuous salad course, followed by coffle with whipped cream. Mints ? x- 1-^? were paruuveu ui at iuici ?aio. Delightful fruit punch was served in the hall by Mrs. G. B. Kearse. Evening shades were drawing near when the party disbanded, expressing real enjoyment and wishing for repetitions of such an occasion. The invited guests were: Mesdames J. J. Farrell, J. L. Copeland, F. H. Cotfeland, I. D. Copeland, S. W. Copeland, J. M. Dannelly, J. S. Dannelly, J. D. Dannelly, Max Walker, J. F. Chassereau, H. S. Kearse, O. E. Kearse, O'. P.

B. & L. to Wind Up. 3 At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the Young Men's Building and Loan association, it was decided to wind up the association with this month, in ordfer to avoid payment of taxes after the first of January, amounting to several hundred dol lars. 11 was reponea 10 uie mwuufi that by paying the usual monthly payment of one dollar a share and an additional $3.60 per share, the association could be wound up and discontinue business this month. A motion to do this was adopted. No steps were taken at this meeting toward the organization of a new association, but it is understood that this will be done in the near future.
