Prospects Bright for Carlisle.
"I wish that every Methodist in
the State could step upon the Carlisle
campus and see what a really
great plant they have here," says
Head Master J. C. Guilds, of Carlisle
ehool, in the Southern Christian Ad
"T f V? Q1 r? ovoo
?UbflIC. x luma vuun vj vu . wwm
bulge in surprise and their hearts
would swell with just a touch of
pride.
?"
"We have been working on our
plant all summer. The two original
buildings, the Main building and the
boys' dormitory, now known as the
H. J. Brabham hall, have been remodeled,
enlarged, and renovated
throughout. The work is just about
completed. They look like new
buildings and the campus like a new
place.
."On the campus there are now six
splendid buildings used for school
purposes, the C. F. Rizer gymnasium,
and the home of the head master.
We must not lose sight of ttie fact,
however, that the church went into
the field of education to teach the
world, among other things, that the
value of a school does not depend
-- *
upon the size of its campus, the number
of its buildings or the size of its
student body, but depends upon the
influence that is brought to bear from
day to day upon the life of the individual
student. Carlisle strives first
of all, therefore, to be a safe school.
"Prospects are bright for a large
.
opening. We have room for fortyfive
more boys than we had last year
v and will he glad to hear from parents
who are seeking a good school with
prices in easy reach."
Fairfax Man Killed.
?
Reports were received here yesterday
that Columbus Spradley, news
butcher on a Charleston and Western
Carolina train, had shot and killed a
Western Union lineman, named Carver,
who worked out of Fairfax, S.
C. The shooting occurred at Yemasee.
Spradley is in custody.
Details of the affair could not be
learned last night, but it seems some
bad feeling had existed between the
two men for some time.
Spradley has two brothers living
' here, Charles and Frank Spradley.
He, also, formerly lived in Augusta.?

NEGRO KILLED NEAR OLAR.
Shot Fired When Arrest of Another
is Attempted. B
la
Sing Edwards, a young negro, was v;
shot and killed near Olar last Fri- B
day night, when Edwards, with a o
party of white men attempted the ar- ir
rest of Henry Graham, another ne- g.
gro. An inquest was held Saturday M
by Coroner Zeigler, and the verdict h
of the coroner's jury was that Ed- e1
wards had come to his death from a o
pistol shot wound from parties to the si
jury unknown. h
Graham had been charged with G
some offence, and Mr. Artie Lain, c]
constable for Magistrate ~0. J. C. o
Lain, was sent to arrest him. Mr. b
Lain pressed into service Sing Ed- d;
wards, a negro boy, who worked d
about Mr. Lain's place. Several lc
other parties later joined the con- G
stable. They went to the house of c<
Graham, and Edwards was sent in to S
get Graham. Mr. Lain and the others C
of the party were also in the house n
at the time. Graham displayed a pis- ii
tol, whereupon several shots were li
fired, Edwards receiving one of the ti
bullets. . t<
It is not known whether the shot ti
that killed Edwards was fired by
Graham or not, but after the fray
it was found that Graham had fired
one shot from his pistol. Graham
was arrested, and is now in jail. The c<
inquest papers were forwarded to ei
Governor Manning. ^

Mr. J. K. Breedin Here.

- ? - - - _ _ X w
Mr. J. K. Breedin, superintendent
F
of the Anti-Saloon league of South
Carolina, was in the city Sunday and
made an address at the Baptist
church at the morning service. Mr. p
Breedin, in addition to his duties as ^
the head of the league in this State, 11
is editor of the Manning Herald, published
at Manning. Mr. Breedin devoted
his talk Sunday morning to a 1(
brief review of the work of the Anti- ^
Saloon league, and told of the needs a
for the continuance of the league. c
He also told of the enforcement of **
the prohibition law throughout the a
State, stating that the results of the p
law had been very gratifying. Es- t(
pecially in Charleston had wonders e
been worked, he said. Mr. Breedin 0
was born and reared in Charleston, J1
and he said that if he had not known
conditions before and after at first
hand, it would be hard for him to believe
the reports of the enforcement
of prohibition in Charleston; but he ^
is thoroughly familiar with the situa- 0
tion and knows that the open sale of F
whiskey is not tolerated. q
Mr. Breedin highly complimented ^
the State administration and, the va- a
rious county officials for their cooper- a
ation in enforcing the law, stating n
that, with very few exceptions, the e
magistrates and sheriffs had perform- c<
ed their full duty, although many of 11
them had previously expressed them- y
selves as not being in sympathy with ^
the law. Mr. Breedin especially commended
the cooperation on the part t(
- h
of Governor Manning in enrorcing t
the law, stating that the governor c<
had appointed, on his recommenda- ^
tion, constables who were not Manning
men, and whom the ^governor s<
knew were not his followers; but C(
they, were men especially suited for y
the work required and were given
commissions by Governor Manning ^
without question. ^
He urged upon the people to be k
vigilant, stating that the battle for ^
prohibition had not been won, and 11
would not be won as long as there is n
a drop of whiskey sold in or shipped C(
into South Carolina. ^
The Bamberg Cotton Market. - si
u
The following Bamberg dispatch ii
was published in last Sunday's News v
and Courier: v c;
"The cotton market at Bamberg is b
- ... - ? I j
booming as never before at tnis eariy u
date. Fifteen cents cotton is causing a
the farmers to make extra efforts to o
harvest their crop and rush it to mar- o
ket and the buyers are kept busy as V
is usual in October. About 200 bales n
were sold here yesterday and the n
average amount obtained per bale 1<
was more than $80. Bamberg county
will make at least 25 per cent, s
more than last year, and if present fi
prices hold througnout the season, c;
farmers will make big money and P
business will boom." b
e
Dr. Hartzog Very 111. v
P
The friends of Dr. L. A. Hartzog, ^
of Olar, will learn with regret of his
serious illness. Dr. Hartzog was .
stricken with appendicitis some days v
ago and was carried to Columbia to
be operated on at a hospital there.
The operation was performed last
Saturday. It was stated at the hospital
that gangrene had set in, and l
Monday noon Dr. Hartzog was in a J
serious condition. Dr. Hartzog's ii
brother Monday stated to a Bamberg C
gentleman that at noon his brother o
had not improved. The numerous v
friends of the doctor all join in wish- a
ing him a speedy recovery. Informa- p
tion from Columbia Tuesday night s;
stated that Dr. Hartzog was resting e:
nicely. tl

Had a Busy Vacation.
Rev. W. R. McMillan, pastor of the V
aptist church, returned to the city
ist week, after enjoying a very busy
ication. For the past five weeks the
aptist pastor has been on his annual P<
uting. Instead of taking the usual oi
tethod of spending a vacation and
oing to the mountains or seashore, J
[r. McMillan elected to work. And $
e is still at it, but will wind up his
yangelistic services the latter part Jf

uested to be ready to settle with .

Now, we want to say a personal ^
rord. You all know how the war
as played havoc with the paper maret.
Our paper jobber informed us ^
ae other day of still another advance .
* t<
1 the price of printing paper. It is
ow worth five to five and one-halt .
b
ents per pound?the same paper ^
fiat cost us 2.65 per pound the last
:me we bought, paper that we are
till using. The house also informed
s of a serious probability of not be- ^
lg able to get paper at all, and adised
us to stock up now while we ^
an get it. The mills are six months 7
ehind with orders, and no more orers
are being accepted until they
atch up. Acting on this advice, we
rdered a shipment to be made at
nee?enough to last us about a year.
Ve will have to borrow money to ^
leet tl^is bill, which is strictly cash, f,
ot even a cash discount being al- f(
>wed. 7
It is simply impossible for us to ^
end the paper to anyone except bona f,
de paid-in-advance subscribers. We q
annot wait a year after buying pa- s
er to pay for it, therefore, we must ^
e paid in advance by our subscrib- q
rs, as we have to buy paper in ad- p
anee. Now, we don't wish to de- t
rive anyone of The Herald, but Mr. \<
Ihandlet will report to us who pa> s
nd who don't pay, and there is noth- ^
ig left for us to do but cut off those ^
ho do not pay in advance. Please ^

Ccnteloupes and Watermelons.
t
"The canteloupe and watermelon t
rowers in the southeastern part of a
tie State are just winding up uieir i
lovement. The growers and ship- c
ers received unusually good prices t
or this year, both f. o. b. and in the 1
larkets," says a Clemson College a
ulletin issued last week. "As a re- f
ult of these good prices there is c
very indication of an increased
creage for next year. There is also s
movement on foot to perfect an or- t
anization among all the growers for I
ext year.
"Blackville is the heaviest shiping
point for canteloupes in the
tate. A considerable amount of
anteloupes have been shipped from t
he following points: Barnwell, Es- (
ill, Williston, Ulmers, Govan and I
ycamore. The total number of cars T
hipped out of South Carolina this z
eason was 75. (
"The green meated canteloupes c
re grown in these parts. They are I
ut up in flats holding 9, 12, 15 and
8 melons, and in crates holding 45 1
veraged sized melons or 36 of the r
irger or Jumbo sized melons. The r
rowers received an average of about c
5 cents for the flats and 75 cents for i
5 cents for the flats and 75 cents t
Dr the crates f. o. b. z
"In the earlier part of the season t
0 cents was paid for the flats and s
1 for the crates, f. o. b. 1
"The watermelon crop is shipped i:
ut of the following points: Allenale,
Fairfax, Barton, Estill, Fur- a

"This year nearly 1,400 cars were 1
hipped out of these points. The t
rowers averaged between $75 and s
125 per car f. o. b. as against $45 c
nd $50 for last year. There are 1,00
of the 20 to 25 pound melons, j
00 to 750 of 25 to 35, and 650 to e
00 of the 35 and 45 in one car." t

A $100.00 Bale of Cotton. I
t
Saturday Mr. J. M. Grimes sold a
ale of cotton on the local market
or almost $100.000?lacking just
orty cents of being "even money." E
'he bale weighed 664 pounds and _
d
ras bought by Rentz & Felder for t
fteen cents the pound, bringing Mr. ^
Irimes $99.60. Together with the
eed, of which there were 32 1-3 _
ushels, the bale was worth $119.
!ottonseed is now worth 60 cents ^
er bushel, making the seed from
his monster bale wTorth $19.40. This
5 perhaps the biggest price that a
ingle bale has sold -for in Bamberg ^
within the past seven or eight years.
l number of years ago cotton was j
;orth?for a very little while?
7 1-2 cents a pound; this price be- ^
ig forced on account of the activity
f Dan Sully. When the staple ^
eached this unheard-of figure, Sully
uddenly went "busted," and cotton *
rent down to its real value. How- j
ver, the present price is the result
f actual supply and demand, and ^
rom the present outlook, it is like- '
j to go a good deal higher. .
Don't throw cold water on anther
man's enthusiasm. It may h
e misdirected, but even at that it 1:
> better than lethargy. %
MUCH IMPROVEMENT.
arlisle Campus Now a Very Attrac- 1
tive Place.
The work of making improvements
nd additions to the Carlisle cam- ;
us is about completed. The finish- j
lg touches are now being put on the i
ork, and within the next week or
svo the debris will be cleared away, i
Iverything will be in shape for the
pening of the school next month. A 1
reat deal of work has been done
n the main building and the H. J.
Irabham hall. A total expenditure 1
f about $6,500 will have been made <
rhen all the work is completed.
The old Brabham hall has been re
lade into a new building, bearing:
ut slight resemblance to the old, :
all the students knew in past years.
light rooms have been added to thel
i
uilding by the erection of an adition
to the rear of the hall. This
ddition is similar to the portion of
lie building fronting on Carlisle
treet. The steeple has been torn
way, and a very attractive portico
tands in its place. The greatest
mprovement to the appearance of
he building was made on the side
acing the campus. The old piazzas
7ere torn away, being replaced by an
ntirely new arrangement. Large
rick columns on- either side of the
ampus entrance beautify the view
rom the campus. In addition to the
utside improvements, the whole of
he inside of the building has been
enovated and remodeled.
Four new class rooms have been
dded to the main building, these
ooms being housed in an attractive
ddition to, the rear of the structure,
'hese additional rooms will provide
, long felt need in the school, and
nil relieve the crowded condition of
he main building.
Sewerage has been installed
hrmierhnn-ti tha ramnns. Sent.io
anks were installed some months
go. This improvement adds much
o the sanitary condition of the variius
buildings, and adds further proection
to the health of the students.
?he health of Carlisle students has
ilways been excellent, and will be
urther safeguarded by the addition
if a sewerage system.
A heating plant is yet to be totalled
in the main building. With
he installation of this plant the imirovements
will be completed.
Tells of Visit to France.
Bamberg people will read with inerest
an account Mr. Carroll C.
Ireen has given of a recent visit to
France. Mr. Green is a son of Mr.
r. A. Green, a former Bamberg citien
now residing in Wilmington, N.
3. An interview with Mr. Green, re:ently
published in the Wilmington
Svening Dispatch follows:
"Mr. Carroll C. Green, son of Mr.
r. A. Green, proprietor of the Wilnington
hotel, arrived in the city last
tight from New York, where he reentlv
landed from France after an
nteresting trip to that country and
hrough some of the European war
ones. Mr. Green speaks most inerestingly
of the scenes which he
aw while on his way across the Atantic
and also many things he saw
n France.
"Mr. Green sailed from New York
.board the British liner Moorish
'rince, on July 13. The vessel caried
a cargo of horses for the allied
.rmies to La Pallice, France, where
t landed July 25th. On passing
hrough the war zone Mr. Green
tates that the master of the vessel
ook every possible precaution. The
ights were extinguished and all of
he life boats were swung over the
ide for a hasty embarkation in case
if being struck by a mine.
"While about 36 hours out of La
'allice Mr. Green was fortunate
enough to pass within a short disance
of a French battleship fleet of
,bout 20 vessels. The Moorish
'rince was not stopped, but a numler
of code signals were exchanged.
Vhen about 15 miles out two scout
.eroplanes hovered over the steamer.
"On arriving in La Pallice harbor
Lone of the crew of the steamer was
Mowed to go ashore except the capain
and the first mate. However,
.Ir. Green states that he saw quite a
:ood deal of the city's water front
,nd noticed in almost every instance
yomen were doing the work that was
ormerly done by the men who are
tow in the trenches.
"In sight of the wharf where the
'essel moored was a stockade where
1,000 German and Austrian prisonts
were being detained by the
French. The greatest vigilance was
naintained over the vessel in order
hat no one might leave. A detail
if 25 French soldiers guarded the
innk at all times and Mr. Green only
ucceeded in walking about the dock
.nd taking a swim in the Bay of
Biscay, on which the city is located.
"At night, when the city was quiet,
Ir. Green states that heavy firing*
in the front could be distinctly heard
n La Pallice.
"After discharging the cargo of
torses the Moorish Prince cleared
ight for New York, arriving in the
letropolis about 12 days ago."

STRIKE IS ORDERED.
Unless Settlement is Reached Railroad
Traffic Will Re Paralyzed
Washington, Aug. 28.?Labor Day, \
Monday, September 4, is the date
fixed for the strike in the tentative
orders prepared by the railroad
brotherhoods and carried home by
the members of the committee of
640 when they left Washington yesterday.
It was learned today that the
brotherhood leaders decided negotiations
here must end one way or another
before Labor Day, and selected
the holiday with a view to having
two million or more workers in all
lines of labor march in great demon
strations in favor of the strikers' u
cause.
President Wilson tonight definite- 4
ly decided to go before congress tomorrow
or Wednesday to recommend
legislation aimed to avoid the
threatened nation-wide strike or to
stop it, if it comes before congress
can act. He worked until late tonight
on his message in which he
will tell members of the senate and
house the negotiations to date and
lay before them a definite legislative
programme.
The strike order is brief. It is addressed
to all members of the four
brotherhoods, is signed by the various
general chairmen and reads as
follows: i
"Sirs and Brothers: This is to advise
that the vote of the employees ^
in train and engine service on the
eight-hour day and time and one- '
half overtime proposition was overwhelmingly
in favor of a strike.
"Notwithstanding this your representatives
have been unable to effect
a satisfactory settlement, and
a strike, under the laws of the respective
organizations, becomes effective
on September 4, 1916,' at 7 M
a. m. : ^
"Impart this information, so those f
interested will understand that they (
are to promptly obey." (

Berlin, Aug. 23.?The merchant' v
submarine Deutschland arrived at the
mouth of the Weser on August 23,
according to the Overseas News agency.
The agency says that the
Deutschland arrived on the afternoon
of August 23 and anchored before
the mouth of the Weser. All on
board were well.
The Deutschland, a German supersubmarine
built for carrying merchandise,
arrived at Baltimore from
Bremen on July 9, with a cargo of
dyestuffs and mails. Her arrival was
hailed in Germany as the beginning
of a regular submarine merchant service
between the United States and
Germany, which would be able to defy
the British blockade. It was announced
that she would be followed
shortly by the Bremen, a sister ship.
