A two weeks' term of civil court will convene in Bamberg next Monday morning, with Judge George E. Princ9 presiding. Mr. A. M. Denbow entertained a number of his gentlemen friends at a stag supper last Wednesday evening at his residence. "The Doctor," an amateur benefit play, was presented by local talent at the Graded school auditorium Tuesday evening to a large audience. The many friends of Mrs. H. F. Bamberg, who is being treated at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, will be glad to learn that she is improving. ? The friends of Mr. H. J. Brabham, v.* \ who is being treated in a hospital in Columbia for appendicitis, will be pleased to learn that he is rapidly recovering. '"."N Mrs. A. M. Denbow entertained the Embroidery club last Friday afternoon at her residence in the city. Delightful refreshments were served 'during the afternoon. . Friday night Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the Baptist church, addressed the regular meeting of the Young People'6 Christian association of Car lisle school, his subject being "The Ideal Sister." While riding a bicycyle yesterday about noon, the little son of Mr. R. S. Simmons narrowly escaped injury when his bicycle collided with the ml. automobile of Sheriff S. G. Ray, driv-1 L en by his son. The bicycle was demolished, but the little boy escaped with only a shaking up. Arrangements have been made for the operation of a special train over the B., E. & W. railroad next Friday for the field day exercises at Rhoad park. The train will arrive in the early morning, and return in the afternoon. A large crowd is expected from Ehrhardt and other points on the B., E & W. The 29th day of February was the last on which to pay taxes without the seven per cent, penalty. As usual, there are a large number of delinquents, who have failed to pay their taxes. Seven per cent, penalty will be added until the 15th of March, when the tax books close, and executions will be issued. The first violation of the prohibi\ Hon law to be sejit up for trial is that of Vick Ancrum, a negro, who is charged with selling wnissey at scnolield, and was committed by .Magistrate 0. J. C.

Duncan, manager of the Carlisle base ball team, is working out a strong base ball schedule for the coming season. It is announced that about 15 games will be played and some of the strongest preparatory teams in the State are on the list. The Carlisle boys are working out every day and getting in fine shape to defend the preparatory championship title. Miss Easterling Elected Queen. V The most interesting and at the m, - same time the most exciting contest! held in Bamberg in many a day was j: the election of the queen of the Chautauqua last week. The merchants i gave away the votes with purchases, and as nearly all of the merchants : of the town, and also many other lines of business, handled the votes, there was a great deal of interest. ( The two leading candidates had strong supporters who allowed no ' opportunity to pass to put in some good work for their favorites. The contest resulted in the election of Miss Margaret Easterling as the queen by a margin of only a few hundred votes. The following was the result when the final count was made about midnight Saturday: Miss Margaret Ea6terling..76,110 Miss Maude Massebeau....75,880 Miss Vista Brabham 9,360 Miss ^Catherine Kline 6,010 Miss Lalla Byrd 5,450 Miss Ruth Byrd 5,050 . Photographer Cole in Town V. W. Cole, the photographer from Spartanburg, who for more than six months has been located in Barnwell making pictures, will leave next week for Bamberg. During his stay here Mr. Cole enjoyed a large patronage and in all instances gave his customers most satisfactory work. For the county board of education, Mr. Cole made numerous views of schools and school buildings, and did a great deal of outside work which proved very satisfactory. Should he ever decide to return to Barnwell it is certain that he will receive even a more liberal patronage than on this visit.? Barnwell Sentinel.?Adv. i V / ' FIELD DAY PROGRAMME.

Automobile Parade Yesterday Morning Begins Festivities. M With the automobile parade yesterday morning, the three days Chautauqua festival for Bamberg began auspiciously. The Chautauqua will continue through today and tomor row, ending with the held day exercises Friday morning and the Chautauqua attractions Friday afternoon and evening. The automobile parade yesterday morning was a thing of beauty. There were not as many cars in the paiade as last year?this no doubt being caused by the very inclement weather of the past few days. The parade was formed at the Graded school, ending at the Carlisle campus, where the queen, Miss Margaret Easterling, was crowned. The parade was headed by King's band, of Orangeburg, followed by the queen's float, which was beautifully and artistically decorated. On the float were the queen, with her escort, Dr. Charles Wilson; the maids, Misses Maude Massabeau and Vista Brabham, and the knights, Messrs. S. E. Beard and McGee Bamberg. Dr. Geo. F. Hair and Mr. W. D. Rhoad were marshals of the parade. There were twenty-one cars in the pan.de, and the decorations were especially pretty. This year another class of cars was added, that of ad advertising or booster cars, and there were quite a number of these, with appropriate advertising. Both the decorated and advertising cars were a credit to the owners. The parade was witnessed by a large crowd, there ' being a large number of visitors in i the city. 1 The judges awarded the prize for the best decorated car, $10.00 iif gold, 1 to Miss May Brabham; and the prize for the best-advertising car, $5.00, 1 to the Glendale Spring car. 1 In the afternoon ah^ evening Chautauqua attractions 'were presented at the Carlisle auditbrium. Death of Mrs. McGinnis. Mrs. Mack MeGinnis, a former resident of this section, died at her home in Raleigh, N. C., Monday night. The remains^ were brought to Bamberg Wednesday morning, and interment occurred yesterday at the Lutheran church, near Clear Pond. Mr. and Mrs. McGinnis moved to Raleigh; about the first of this year from this county. She was twice married, and " is survived by two children by the first union, and one by her last.mar- ] riage. Her husband also survives her. Mrs. McGinnis was related'to a j large number of Bamberg people, and her death came as quite a shock to i many friends and acquaintances in the county. * Snow and Thunderstorm. j When Bamberg people read in the daily papers Tuesday morning about a heavy snow, from three to six inches deep, in the upper part of the J State, they remembered that instead of there being a snow in Bamberg j there had been a heavy electric storm Monday night. Monday afternoon j snow was threatened here, and there was what some people call "hominy snow," and what others call sleet, during the afternoon in a consider- 1 able quantity, almost covering the ^ ground at one time. However it { turned warm before the forerunner ( of snow got down to real hard work * and instead of snow it rained. Some time after midnight those who do not ] sleep very well recall that there was an unusually heavy electric storm, | 1 accompanied by loud peals of thun- ] der, and rather a heavy wind. No 1 damage has been reported from any 1 section of the county. It was some \ thing quite out of the ordinary for ] it to be snowing in one part of the i State, and not very distant at that, 1 and having a thunder shower in another part. ( Thft Anroach of Spring. Listen, don't you hear the music Coming softly from the lea? 'Tis the voice of mellow springtime < Whisp'ring words of jollity. Youthful songsters of the woodland 1 For the first time sound their notes, And they stop in blank amazement At the volume of their throats. ^ Emerald gowns again are shining Over yonder on the hill. Purple lilies peep their heads up 1 From the surface of the rill, Where the nymphs and fairies linger Hesitatingly to lave In the stream of nature's nectar Which to earth Jehovah gave. In the battle of the seasons Winter, armed with shields of snjw, Full of confidence and courage, Sent the north windlfcut to blow. With a smile, and always hoping, Spring did just the very thing? Placed a violet in his bosom; Winter yielded unto spring. ?-J. B. RICE. Columbia, S. C. Home Demonstration Work. The Bamberg delegation to the general assembly included in the county supply bill this year an item for the employment of a home demonstration worker for this county. This appropriation will be supplemented by the government in such amount as is required to pay the salary of the demonstrator. Mrs. Blanche W. Faust, of Denmark, has been appointed to conduct this work. The home demonstration work has been very successful in the counties where it has been instituted, and the work has been found to be very helpful. Miss Edith L. Parrott is State agent of the home demonstration work, with headquarters at Winthrop College, Rock Hill. The home demonstration work has grown out of the tomato club demonstration, which was originated by Mrs. C. H. Seigler in Aiken county several years ago. Since that time the work has grown in magnitude and importance. The appropriation was made by the Bamberg delegation upon petitions circulated by several ladies of the county interested in the work and freely j signed by the citizens. Mrs. Risher Injured. The friends of Mrs.* R. L. Risher will learn with deep regret of her painful injury Monday afternoon, when she fell while crossing the Southern railway tracks at the passenger depot. Mrs. Risher suffered a broken nose and other painful injuries. She was crossing the railroad track coming toward Main street and did not notice a freight train shifting on the main track. Just as she stepped upon the track, some A/1 B AV A lie XICell W dlUCU UCI Ul me j-i wo i. v I backing upon hei1, and in trying to clear the track in time she fell upon her face on the cement walk. Medical attention wa^ secured at once, and Mrs. Risher was escorted to her home, where she is now resting well. New Advertisements. J. W. Stokes?For Sale. V. W. Cole?Photography.

If you persistently select the up-vck*. moonincrc vnnr soul will be strong J\*>1 axvuuAJUQu j vv%. ~ ~ _ _ within you, your days full, of cheer, Four nights steeped in rest, your friends and relatives a joy, your Fouth enthusiastic and your old age ;hick with happy memories, says Dr. Prank Crane in Woman's World. If you seek alvays the lower meanngs you will be soured, unhappy, pessimistic, petulant and disagreeible. The worm of hate, suspicion, mvy, jealousy and pessimism will enter you and eat you up. Is marriage a failure? That depends upon what it means to you. The upper meaning of marriage is :hat It is a sacrament, the crown of perfection of loyal love. So long as that meaning remains, marriage is bliss. No matter what the poverty, sickness and hardships that accompany it the halo will not depart from it nor the rainbow hues of illusion vanish. But if marriage has only the lowsr meaning of money, social advan tage, gratified ambition, or merely fleshly convenience, it can be nothing but a galling yoke. It is very easy to drop into the way of disparaging or suspecting your friends. Pick out their flaws, dwell on their shortcomings, remark on how selfish this one is, how stupid that, how awkward or boresome or talkative or tactless the other, and by and by you will be left alone, invisibly you will alienate them all. But perceive the upper meanings of each, this one's kindness, that one's loyalty and the other one's good heart, and they will daily grow dearer, their little blemishes will disappear, and the golden glow of friendship will dwell forever around you.

Friends in Bamberg of Congressman James F. Byrnes, representative in congress from the second district, read in a recent issue of the News and Courier the following Wa'shing, ton dispatch with a good deal of interest: "One rumor here is that certain in- 1 terests in Washington are urging 1 Congressman J. F. Byrnes, of the sec- > An rl oAn orocci aii o 1 hictriot f a run f nr governor. This report has gained ' j wide circulation and includes, among 5 | other reports, that the South Carolina delegation are nursing the Byrnes i boom." 1 Local friends of the congressman will be further interested to learn, '> ; however, that Mr. Byrnes has stated positively that there is no founda- < ,tion to the rumor that he will enter < the gubernatorial contest this sumjmer, but that he will be a candidate 1 to succeed himself in congress. 1 ?^ 1 Music Club Entertained. j Mrs. LaVerne Thomas was hostess J i to the Apollo Music club on Wednesday, Feb. 23. A study of the opera J followed the regular business meet- , ing. Sketches of "The Vampire," . 'The Bohemian Girl," "Cavalleria Rusticana," and "II Trovatore" were read by Miss Zeigler, Miss Kibler, Miss Lesley, and Mrs. B. D. Carter. Mrs. Thomas served a delightful salad course, followed by fruit punch and cakes. ^ Death of Miss Euphrozine McMillan. * ( Miss Euphrozine McMillan, daugh- < ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McMillan, \ of the Colston section, died at the ' Rantist. hosnital. Columbia, last Fri- | day night at 8 o'clock, after a short < jillness. Miss McMillan was carried to r the hospital on the previous Sunday. ? The remains were interred Saturday ] afternoon at 4:36 in the McMillan \ cemetery, in the presence of a large } congregation of friends and relatives. ] She is survived by her parents and j two brothers and a host of friends, t to whom her death came as a great ] shock. She was a ^oung lady of ] beautiful character, and was loved by every one who knew her. She was a pupil in the Colston school until a few days previous to her death, which was one of the saddest in the 1 community in many years. The sym- '< pathy of the community is extended i to the bereaved family. '< ?: i District Officers Elected. I The officers of the district conven- * tion of the third district, Knights of Pythias, which was held in Bamberg Wednesday of last week, were elected as follows for the ensuing term: District deputy grand chancellor, A. M. Denbow, of Bamberg; district deputy grand vice chancellor, Dr. L. A. Hartzog, Olar; district deputy grand pre- . iate, E. A. Owen; secretary, Dr. R. Meade Hammond, of Aiken; treasurer, J. E. Shuler, of Aiken. ^ A Wish. " Papa was sitting by the table read- / ing his evening paper. Generally, when he came across an item of interest, he read it aloud to mamma. Little William, a typical "little pitcher with big ears," as a rule was not in the least concerned about the items his father read aloud. But the other evening he was mightily interested. "I see, ma," said papa, "that the fishermen around Cape Cod have gone out of the whaling business and J * "Gee whiz, papa, but I wish you was a Cape Cod fisherman." Sold by the Quart. Mrs. Fletcher went up to the city one morning to do some shopping. She was looking for some house furnishings, and went to a large department store. Walking up to a tall blond floor- \ walker who was walking slowly up and down in a languid elegant man- ner, she said: , "Will you please tell me where I can see the candelabra?" ^ "All canned goods two counters to the right," replied the official guide, = briefly. Why He Was Fired. I "You ran a story a day or two " ago," says a correspondent of the \ Cleveland Plain Dealer, "about a fel- 2 low who^quit his job because his boss t called him a fool, thereby proving that his boss was right.

" 'Oh, I guess he explained it all i right.' . r " 'Then why don't you know?' J " 'I was too drunk to understand t | what he said.' " 1 - r . . ' i-- ' Arcadia Mad? Inferno by War. Americans who have spent vacation times wandering through the Alsatian Vosges will remember the \ long, forested slopes, the velvet-green valley floors, the unexpected views through breaks in the pines on the mountain shoulders, the quiet ways ? softly carpeted with pine needles, the spicy air filled with aroma of evergreens and the perfectly-kept hills, mountains and winding valleys as 4- XV f b A AAOlAot m Aof L U III U 111 1II g IU IU11I1 til*? v,ucitov, iiivou intimate charm possessed by any mountain country on earth, says a note issued by the National Geographic society, which describes the 4 Arcadia turned inferno by a year and ^ a. half of stubborn mountain fighting. This region was a paradise of peasint proprietors before the outbreak Df the war, a green-and-golden patchwork of little farms, some no larger than American city lots; and thrift, tidiness, comfort and security characterized it all. Splendid, hard-sur- > faced, white roads followed the bends Df the valleys, shaded through the bottom lands by rows of hardy plum and apple trees, whose fruit wras auctioned off each year to the farmers. The money obtained from the auctions was applied to the .upkeep of the roads; and thus, like many of ;he German highways, the Alsatian :horoughfares were self-supporting. . The Alsatian hills were unspoiled Dy the tribute-bearing tourists. Vis- A tors from the Americas and from England seldom came this way. Strassburg was a regular travelers' I objective, and for those who went south from there, the Swiss moun:ains were the goal of the next jump, rhe Germans and fhe French sought :he Vosges mountains for winter sport, for skiing and tobogganing. t rhe people of other lands went for -O similar sports to fashionable and more expensive places, like St. Mortz in Switzerland. Alsace was too lomey, too commonplace, too hope-j^^B essly middle-class to make much ot]^9^9 i name for itself?until it became^MH| ;he scene of the bitterest fighting in modern times, soon after the out 3reak of the present war. Off the Course. ^ A good many years ago a steamer vas sailing down a certain river, with ? i shrewd old Yankee captain in com- . nand. Suddenly the engines stopped md the steamer remained motionless .'or several minutes. The passengers Degan to talk among themselves, and me of them, a portly, pompous person, advanced to the captain. "What seems to be the trouble, cap;ain?" he inquired. "Why have we stopped?" "To much fog," answered the cap- . ain, curtly. - i r-\ "But I can see the stars overhead , juite plainly," argued the persistent' y i, ndividual. /. 'Mebbe ye can," admitted the capain, grimly. .
