include additions to and re1
modeling of the H. J. Brabham hall #

stated, for the opening of the school ^
in September, and will render the y
school many more advantages than

DAY ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Comforts <>f Electric Fans May Now
Re Had.
A few days ago, as a result of experiments
at the city power plant,
;he commissioners oF public works
iecided to put on day electric cur*ent
during the summer months. It
las been realized for some time that
lay current would be a good thing
or the city, but on account of the
small number of users of day current
n the town the authorities have been
ionfronted by the question of makng
expenses. It is now believed that
here will be sufficient current useu
n the day time to warrant the pow?r
plant running continuously.
A erreat manv stores, offices, etc..
n the city have longed for the comorts
of electric fans during the day,
ind the announcement of the plant
unning throughout the day was revived
with much pleasure. In orler
that the power plant may run
>rofitably it will be necessary for
everybody to use electric current
luring the day as much as possible,
md persons having machinery to run
v;ould do well to install electric moors.
There are not a great many
owns the size of Bamberg that have
ay current, and this fact will doubt3ss
be appreciated by the people of
he city. It is to be hoped that day
urrent, at least during the summer,
nay now be a permanent fixture. It
5 stated that the plant will be operatd
for about four months.
Base Ball League Formed.
At a meeting in Denmark Monday
fternoon, the Bamberg-Barnwell
laseball League was formed, with
tie following teams: Bamberg,

Tick Eradication in County.
The bureau of animal industry, U.
. department of agriculture, has reantly
sent out circular letters and
rinted matter concerning the work
f tick eradication in Bamberg coun7.
This work - instituted in Bamerg
county on -.pril first. The ciriilar
says, in part:
"Bamberg county has an area of
71 square miles with a cattle popuition
of 3,563 head; the annual loss
) the cattle owners due to the cattle
ck is $15,450.00. When the ticks
re eradicated from your county care
will increase in value an average
f $3.38 per head; this will amount
> $12,050.00. The great loss you
re sustaining now and the increase
l value of your cattle after your
aunty has been freed pf ticks means
profit of $7.50 per head for each
ead of cattle you own, and it costs I
ou nothing but a little cooperation."

Bruce Wilton has amassed a fortune which he lavishes on his I
I wife, Vera.
Their household is a happy one but into it creeps a note of I 4
menace. No one hears it at first, save Father Kelly, a priest, the I
former tutor of Bruce. Quietly he goes to work with his sharpen- H
ed mental sense to find the person who is causing the adverse in- I
fluence in the household. I
Almost on the verge of discovering the cause, calamity descends B
on Bruce Wilton. His fortune is swept away and in such a man
ner that he believes that his wife was the cause of his ruin. B
Husband and wife are separated, the home is destroyed, and yet B
the cause of all this disaster is unknown. *
But Father Kelly, with a faith that moves mountains, goes on
quietly, serenely, confidently, with but one purpose in view, the j B
happiness of those he loves.
He solves the mystery and lets the white light of truth into the B
minds of those that have been darkened by evil. B
More than this, he finds the one who has caused all the misery B
