By the way, speaking about the newspapers and the county-to-county campaign, did you ever know of any reform movement, or any other move31 ment looking to the betterment of the people, that the newspapers were not in favor of? And, you fellow who ?. thinks the newspapers are trying to f| work a political scheme, did you ever iiear of any nefarious scheme, political or otherwise, that the newspapers were in favor of? Some newspapers are in favor of everything you ever heard of, but we mean the gr?at | majority of newspapers. 1: 1 Nowt that Bamberg has voted to gt; install a modern system of water| ^ work?, the next step is the installal|p tion of a sewerage system. The two I- go together, or ought to go together. After Bamberg has had waterworks 2 all over the city- for a few months, the people will wonder how they ever gi- got along without the system. And so it would be with a system of sew.erage. Waterworks will greatly in^ crease the healthfulness of the town, we believe, and sewerage would in i crease it still more: However, 6ew| . er&ge will come in due time. When the further growth of the town demands it, the people will see to it that sewerage is installed. Bamberg took a decided step forward Tuesday when her citizens voted to extend the waterworks of the city into the residential sections ana ^ to install a system of pure water that ; ' can be used for all household purposes. A city cannot grow without water. As long as Bamberg is withr out an adequate supply of pure water it will remain in the little country town class. You cannot possibly get out of this class unless there is plenty of water for fire protection as well . as household use. The overwhelmj ing sentiment in favor of the waterworks was quite a surprise in view 1 of the difficulties surrounding the securing of sufficient signatures to the petitions calling for the election. There was never much doubt about the matter being favored by a majority of the voters, but a six to one vote showed very plainly that the peo* ? - 1 a -e pie of Bamoerg are urea ui uavmg to buy or beg their drinking water, being without fire protection, and depending on unsanitary and uncertain surface water wells for water for household purposes. Evidently the movement to abolish the cdhnty-to-county canvass will die in the State convention. However, the sentiment against the biennial v joke is growing. In fact, we believe that if every club had voted on the matter and instructed its 'delegates, there would have been a good chance of relegating this antiquated custom to the discard. If the clubs in this county had instructed its delegates, the county convention would have doubtless reversed its vote?although we do not mean to convey the impression that we were in favor of instructing the delegates. The people are beginning to find out that the county-to-county campaign has outlived its usefulness, that it has served its purpose, and that it now has nc place among an enlightened and intelligent people. Even though the canvass will doubtless continue, w* think the agitation this year will have accomplished one thing?it will not be conducted as in the past Even those who scoff and scowl at the newspapers for being opposed tc "the canvass are in favor of tightening the screws on those of the candidates who use their time in villifyins and vituperating their Opponents. < ??

Tvvo Seaside Teams Go Down Befon Carlisle Winners. 1 Carlisle won two games in Char leston last Thursday and Friday, de feating Porter Military Accadem; Thursday, 5 to 2, and defeatini Charleston high school Friday, 6 tk 5. The following stories of th< games are from the News and Cour ier: After getting: a two-run lead an< playing an errorless game up to th< seventh inning, the Porter Militar: Academy team in its game with th< Carlisle school yesterday afternoon a Hampton park went to pieces and al lowed the visitors to score five runs The game ended 5 to 2 in favor o the Bamberg aggregation. Neithe side earned a tally. Robertson, who started out for thi cadets, although only 14 years old held the Carlisle bunch at bay unti the seventh, when the infield col lapsed. Parnelle, a lanky right-hand er, w*ith a swift underhand ball, hel< the cadets to one hit, a single by K 1 Skinner. His pitching was the mail stumbling point of the defence b; the visitors, as he fanned sixteei men. Parnelle was a clown in the box almost every time he pitched the bal he lost his balance. His great un derhand ball, mixed with curves, baf fled the P. M. A. batters throughou the exhibition. Catches by Carroll in left and { running catch by Dorr were the fea tures aside from Parnelle's grea pitching.

They were bat ting Etliridge about the field wher Parnelle relieved him. The Charleston boys made a mag nificent fight for the game and bu for errors at the start of the gam* and another in the fourteenth inninj the locals would have won. Hanckel, who twirled for Charles ton, pitched a beautiful game and de served a better fate. He had th< hard fighting visiting batters eatin* out of his hand. Up to the tenth in ning he had allowed only two hits. In the fourteenth Moore had rollec out when Skinner hit to Dotterer who made a wild two-base heave Parnelle fanned. Lenoir singled t( left and Skinner counted. Lenoii stole second and counted on a singh by Farnum. High school came in for its hal: and Rogers, who had already walkec twice, worked Parnelle for a thirc pass. Bahr hit to Farnum and h< errored the ball. Klenke then sin gled and Rogers tallied. Black, bat ting for Muckenfuss, fanned. Hanc kel walked, filling the bases. L< Vergne hoisted to Skinner and Hein sohn was called out on strikes.

C. .TONE* NEE LILLIAN CALDWELL. Three times in the last sixtee I months the angel of death has com g into the family of Deacon Alec Caldwell. The first one taken wa his only son, Edwin, who met with a 5 accident in November, 1914, whic t resulted in his death a few days latei . The next was Mr. Caldwell himsel! who died suddenly on December IS ' 1915. The third one was Mrs. Rober f Jones (nee Lillian Caldwell) who an r swered the summons on Sundaj April second, in her home at Bam berg, S. C., after an illness of onl " nine days with pneumonia. She i ' survived by her husband, one son, te: 1 years old, and three sisters, namelj _ Mrs. W. D. Browning, Richmond Mrs. R. L. Heycock, Washington, E " C., and Miss Clara Caldwell, of thi ' place. Mrs. Jones was born in Appomal i tox forty-two years ago. Early i life she gave her heart to Christ, an was baptized into the fellowship c 1 Liberty Baptist church. Her educa tion began at home under a govern ; ess, and was completed in Woman' 'j College, of Richmond. On Decembe 28, 1898, she was united in marriag ' to Mr. Robert Jones and immediate - ly removed to his home in Bamberg t S. C., where she resided at the tim of her death. Burial services wer held on Tuesday, April 4th, in Liber 1 ty Baptist church. Her casket occu - pied the same place where she stoo t as a bride more than seventeen year before. Mrs. J. R. Atwood, who oi 5 ficiated at the organ on her weddin day, played again on this occasion and Dr. George Braxton Taylor, wh ; performed her marriage ceremonj > was also present and conducted th funeral services. He-, spoke in mos loving terms of Miss Lillian as h - knew her and said that he would al ! ways remember her devoted earnest t ness in spiritual work. Durini her college days she was un 1 like the average girl in tha 1 whenever she returned home oi i vacation periods, the church re ceived her best thoughts and firs attention. I have also heard man 3 of the older members speak ver - tenderly of the Miss Lillian whor 5 they knew in her youth and earl a womanhood and all testify that non was more loyal to her church am ' pastor than she. All that concerned i its welfare was dear to her heart. Ii her new home in Bamberg, Mrs Jones was also a true, loyal worke in Christ's kingdom; while no churc' could ever be the same to her as ol 3 Liberty, yet this did not deter he r from faithfully entering the Master' work. Beautiful resolutions were passe by the Bamberg Baptist church i - which her home and church life wer a referred to as follows: "They soo: r established a happy home, where lov s reigned and Christ was honored. Go blessed the labors of their hands but prosperity did not blin 1 them to the needs of the wort or the claims of the church, s ' she early identified herself with th * Baptist church and became thorough > ly enlisted in all its work. Active i: p Sunday-school, helpful in music an 3 liberal in the missionary work of th church, she will be missed every where, but especially in the Woman' ? Missionary society of which she wa 1 for a long time president." ^ Nature endowed Mis3 Lillian wit a brilliant mind and rare talents 5 These she enriched and made beauti - ful by consecrating them to the Mas - ter's use. She is gone but not forgot . ten. The sunshine of her soul, th a | rich heritage of hope, the fragranc 31 of her lips, will ever linger in th - hearts of those who mourn her gc ing. Her sufferings are over, and th body now rests in Liberty cemetery. Rev. C. W.
