Resolution Passed Favoring Abolishing State Campaign Canvass. The Bamberg central Democratic :lub met last Saturday afternoon at the court house and reorganized. The meeting was well attended, considerI ing the fact that it was held Saturday afternoon, when the merchants and business men are usually very busy. About forty Democrats were present. The introduction of absolution favoring abolishing the county-to-county canvass precipitated a lively discuspion, resulting in the final passage of the resolution by a considerable majority of those present. Xo other resolutions were introduced. The meeting was called to order by the president, Dr. J. B. Black, at . .1 1- mi? ^p lour O CIOCK. I lie lirst uusijuco& ui the club was the election of officers for the next two years. The following were elected: President, Dr. J. B. Black; vice president, H. C. Folk; secretary and treasurer, G. A. Jennings; county executive committeeman, H. C. Folk; registration and enrollment committee, R. W. D. Rowell, Dr. George F. Hair, J. J. Smoak; executive committee, John F. Folk, B. F. Free, J. W. Stokes. The following del agates to the county convention, which meets at the court house on Monday, May 1st, were elected, the club being entitled to thirteen: J. C. Guilds, W. A. Klauber, J. A. Wyman, H. C. Folk, J. B. Black, Dr. George F. Hair, D. R. Matheny, J. W. Stewart, B. W. Miley, R. M. Hitt, W. E. Free, J. W. Stokes, J. D. Copeland, Jr. On motion, it was decided to allow each delegate to name his own alternate. At this point, Mr. J. A. Wyman introduced a resolution to the effect that it was the sense of the club that the county-to-county canvass by State office candidates be abolished, and that the delegates to the county convention be requested to bring the matter before the county convention for favorable consideration. Mr. Wyman spoke briefly in favor of doing away with the canvass as now conducted. The campaign plan had outlived its usefulness, he said, and the time is propitious for its discontinuance, this State being one of few still retaining this plan of campaigning. Col. John F. Folk spoke in favor of the continuance of the canvass, stating that it was an attempt on the part of the daily newspapers and some of "the snide little weeklies" to gain a firmer foothold on the politics of the State and wield more influence in naming the State officers. Mr. B. W. Miley favored the canvass, because, he said, the people can turn out all in one day and hear and see the candidates. Mr. H. C. Folk, replying to the point that this was not the proper place to make the fight, stated that if the "vyill of the people is to be secured, the club meeting is the place for the matter to be discussed. Messrs. W. E. Free, J. W. Stewart and others also made short remarks on the subject. Col. Folk moved that the resolution be tabled. On a vote being tak' * - * 1- A J 4-oKl a IViq en, tne ciud voicu nut tu iau>c vu^> resolution. The vote was then taken on the resolution, which was passed by a considerable majority. On motion of Mr. H. C. Folk, the delegation was "instructed," instead of "requested," to present the matter to the county convention. There being no further business to come before the club, a motion to adjourn was carried. Clear Pond Elects Officers. The Clear Pond Democratic club met last Saturday evening, reorganized and elected the following officers: G. W. Folk, president; R. F. McMillan, secretary; J. B. Padgett, executive committeeman..

CARLISLE PLAYS FINE GAME. 1 defeated Columbia High School in Fast Game Monday. The Carlisle school team defeated Columbia high Monday, 3 to 0. The following story of the game is from Tuesday's State: Carlisle school staged a ninth inning rally yesterday afternoon and won a pitchers' battle from Columbia high, 3 to 0. It was one of the fastest, prettiest games of the season in Columbia (college, Sallie 1 ~ ntlior oronioc! not PYPpnt ICilgUC aim Ullici ^UUIVQ UVV vnvwr . ed). Capt. Luther, of the home hopes, and Parnelle, for the Bamberg boys, divided the pitching honors and if the Columbia support had not weakened in the last round the two teams would probably have been tied up yet. Luther struck out 11. Parnelle whiffed ten; Luther walked one, Parnelle walked none; Luther hit one batter, Parnelle hit none; Luther allowed three hits, Parnelle allowed three hits; Parnelle allowed one extra base hit, Luther allowed none; only one of Luther's hits went out of the infield. The first man to . reach first base on either side was Elkins, who was hit by a pitched ball in the fourth. Columbia's first man on base was in the sixth, when Luther singled to centre. Parnelle struck out the entire Columbia side in the first round, and in the fourth each Columbia batter went out, Forman to E. Moore. The Carlisle runs were made when Skinner, the first batter in the last round, was safe on Pearce's error, and went second when Moore errored Kohn's throw to catch the runner at second on Lenoir's fielder's choice. Then Forman laid a bunt between pitcher and third, which rolled safe, and the bases were full. Elkins got an infield hit on which Skinner scored, and the bases were still jagged. McLeod's fielder's choice was played to the plate too late to get Lenoir at home, and again the bases were full. Kohn errored to Parnelle's roller, and Forman scored, and Kohn recovered the ball in time to nail Elkins at the plate. The next two batters were easy outs. The box score: Carlisle School.

Florence, April 25.?In a hotly contested game here this afternoon between the teams of the Florence high school and the Carlisle school, of Bamberg, the locals wTon out in the eleventh inning, 2 to 1. Both teams scored in the first inning, after which the pitchers settled down and a merry battle was the result. Tr? tho plpv^nth inning, with the bases full, Blizzards singled and scored Holland with the winning run. Pitcher Blount, for the home team, featured with hitting. P. Howell al<so hit well for Florence, while the catching of Smith is worthy of mention. For the visitors the pitching of Zach Weeks featured. ' Batteries: Carlisle, Weeks, Parnelle and Lenoir; Florence, Blount and Smith. Umpires, Spaugh and Inman. ' Lee, W. H. Zeigler, Rhett Shirer, W. 0. Tatum and J. B. Williams.

Zeigler, drew up the following: "Resolved, That the Cope DemoI cratic club, reorganized this 22nd of April, is unalterably opposed to the abolition of the county-to-county campaign by the State candidates, and the precinct-to-precinct campaign of the county candidates, and instructs its delegates to the county convention to vote in said convention accordingly." BUY AT HOME CAMPAIGN. The Herald Inaugurates New and Novel Advertising Service. With this issue of The Bamberg Herald, we inaugurate an advertising service that is both new and novel to this section. It is known as the "buy-at-home" campaign. This service is fully copyrighted, and U secured at considerable cost to thu newspaper. On another page will be found the first of the series. The series consists of 52 cartoons and editorials, the object of which is to arouse the public to the importance of buying at home rather than sending theii money away from home. Our readers and friends are asked to read every one of these splendid articles and to study the illustration accompanying the article. These articles are written by experts who know what they are talking about, and we think our readers will fully agree with us, after they have seen a few of the series, that they are certainly to the point. There will be a new editorial and a new cartoon in the centre of the page of advertisements each week, each one with a message for the people of Bamberg, which, if heeded, will bring more prosperity to the town, and, through the town, to the individual. Incidentally it may be remarked that Bamberg is, so far as we have any knowledge, the smallest town in the State carrying this service. \ In fact we do not know of but three other towns in the State now carry n.i ing on cms campaign?cuiumuiii, Newberry and Greenwood. So it may be seen, we are really keeping excellent company. We bespeak for the enterprising merchants joining The Herald in this campaign the good will and patronage of the people. It costs both the merchants represented on the page and The Herald a good bit of money to carry out the campaign, and we hope the people will appreciate it to the extent of giving these loyal Bamberg dealers their business hereafter instead" of sending it away where the money will never be heard from again. We hope to inject new features into the campaign from time to time, so don't fail to keep up with it. In fact we hope to make a most important announcement within the next week or so. Look for it. District S. S. Convention. The Orangeburg District Sundayschool convention which was held here last Thursday and Friday waswell attended and the services were interesting and instructive. Among the distinguished visitors present was Mrs. Cans, of Canada. She is an able speaker and her talks were highly enjoyed. Rally day exercises on Friday broke somewhat into the confer enee programme, but as a whole the meeting of these Sunday-school workers proved a success from every viewpoint, and St. George was glad to have them here. The next conference will be held at Bamberg.?Dorchester Eagle. Death of Mrs. Mary E. Beard.

Williams, a well known citizen of Bamberg, died at his home in the city. Mr. Williams's death came very suddenly. While his health had not been very good for some time, he was as well as usual during the day. The remains were interred Friday at Denmark, the Rev. H. G. Hardin conducting the funeral services. The deceased is survived by four children, one daughter,. Mrs. Hyce Love, and three sons, Messrs. Edward, Webb and Ambrose Williams. Mr. Williams was 77 years of age. He served throughout the four years of the civil war, serving under Capt. Ben Webb. He was a member of the Methodist church, and had hosts of friends throughout the county. Boys* Club Supervisor Here. Mr. Lucius L. Baker, of Bishopville, supervising agent of boys' club work, U. S. department of agriculture, spent last Thursday in the city. Mr. Baiter came over to confer witn the county demonstrator, Mr. J. J. Heard, with regard to the boys' clubs in this county. Mr. Baker supervises this branch of the farm demonstration work. Under his direction the work of the 'corn clubs and pig clubs is carried on. Mr. Heard has already organized a number of the boys of the county into a corn club, and a good start has been made by them. Mr. Baker stated that the pig club would be organized in this county in due time. The pig club will be something new for Bamberg county. These clubs have been conducted in other counties with great success, and it is believed that Bamberg will make a fine showing in this direction this year. The plan is to get as many boys as possible to feed pigs during the late summer for 120 days. Suitable prizes will be awarded to the boys who make the best showing. The awarding of prizes is determined by the amount of flesh added to the pigs, the cost of the feed, the neatness and accuracy of the reports, etc. As the raising of hogs has been demonstrated already in this county as being profitable, the inauguration of the boys' big club work will doubtless do much to inprease this industry this year. Robbed Express Office. Saturday night some party or parties entered the express office in the Southern railway passenger station, and stole three gallons of whiskey. No clue has been found to indicate who the burglars are. Nothing was missed other than th$ three cartoons of whiskey. Entrance to the office was effected through the ticket window which was smashed with a piece of iron. An effort was made to enter the cash drawer, but the burglar evidently '? - J Tim 000V1 gave it up ior a uau juu. xno drawer contained four or five dollars in change. The cartoons in which the whiskey was shipped were found, it is stated, Monday near the Farmers Gin company plant. You will enjoy hearing the Bohannans on Friday evening.?adv.

It is expected > that the convention will be well attended. as politics usually "run wild" j every "big election" year, and the I eople want to get the benefit of all the excitement there is going. The most interesting matter, perhaps, that will come up before the ' /innuontirtn will ho thft county campaign. Several of the clubs of the county passed resolutions last Saturday in regard to this v matter, and the city club instructed its delegates to present resolutions m to the county convention favoring abolishing the canvass as at present j conducted. So the matter is bound to be threshed out. The outgoing county executive committee, will meet at the court house at eleven o'clock on the same day as the county convention.
