"King Winter."
The Christmas exercises at the
Methodist church last Sunday evening
featuring "King Winter," were
splendidly carried out. The manner
in which each child rendered his or
her part proved to the large audience
that witnessed this interesting and <
instructive entertainment that the
management of this department,
which was recently installed, have not
been idle. The excellent music of
the church choir added much to the
Christmas spirit.
A Very Quiet Christmas.
Christmas day and the few days
preceding Christmas passed off very
quietly in Bamberg. The amount of
disorder was quite small, and there
were but few "drunks." This is in
spite of the fact that the express office
has been working over time delivering
those familiar little packages
about as large as a gallon.
Nearly all the stores remained
closed both Monday and Tuesday.
The postoffice kept Sunday hours, but
the carriers are not given a Christmas
holiday, therefore they made
their trips as usual.
Attention, Confederate Soldiers.
I will be in the sheriff's office on
the second and fourth Saturdays in
January, 1917, from ten o'clock a.
m., until one o'clock p. m., for the
purpose of writing up and preparing

to go before the county pension
board, which meets on the 1st Monday

Young Man Dies Suddenly.
Walterboro, Deo. 25.?The entire
town was saddened this morning to
learn of the sudden death of H. Grady
Griffin, which occurred here last
night. Mr. Griffin was apparently in
good health, but heart failure probably
caused by indigestion took him
away after only a few hours' illness.
His family did not realize that he
was so seriously ill, and the end was
quite a shock to them and his large
circle of friends here.
Mr. Griffin was in his twenties
was a bright and industrious young
man, lately employed with the CocaCola
Bottling company. He was a
son of the late Senator and Mrs.
Griffin, of this town. His brother,
Mr. Prentice Griffin, is in the employ
of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
with a run on the local line from

Griffin, a student at the Citadel, and
a younger brother, Clyde. One sister
survives him, Mrs. R. M. Carter,
of this city. His father and mother
preceded him.
The funeral services will be from
the house this afternoon, the Baptist
minister probably conducting it. Interment
will be had at Live Oak
cemetery.
Death of Mrs. S. E. Fielding.
Blackville, Dec. 20.?Mrs. S. E.
Fickling died at the home of her son,
F. G. Fickling, of Blackville. on December
14. Although she was in her
SSth year, she was enjoying good
health up to two days before her
death. Mrs. Fickling lost her eyesight
22 years ago, but lived the remainder
of her days cheerfully. Her
mind was clear to the last and she
tl'Q c vnrv thoughtful of others.
" UO ? J vt* W V. v. ?.
Mrs. Fickling was born in Orangeburg
county in November, 1829. She
was a daughter of Charles Robinson
and Elizabeth Wolfe Robinson. She
was married in 1845 to H. S. Fickling,
of Blackville. who was a prominent
farmer of this section. She was
the mother of 12 children, nine sons
and three daughters. Seven sons and
two daughters survive her?C. R.
Fickling, W. A. Fickling, E. E. Fickling,
of Blackville; J. D. Fickling, of
Durham, N. C.; L. J. Fickling, of
Jacksonville, Fla.; Henry S. Fickling,
of North; Mrs. A. E. Cave, of Blackville,
and Mrs. H. B. Grimes, of Lees.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
M. G. Cartin, of North.
Mrs. Fickling was a member of the
Baptist church, of Blackville, and her
home life was always kind and ever
generous.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home of her son, F. G.
Fickling, Friday last and the body
was laid to rest in the family burying
ground beside the remains of her

Child Suffers From Fire.
Cope, Dec. 14.?This morning between
nine and ten o'clock a little
negro girl about six years of age
was quite badly burned about the
hips, small of the back and legs by
her dress catching afire. The child
left the house and was running as
fast as she could, and screaming and
her screams attracted the attention
of Mrs. J. D. Kitrell, who called two
colored men in a lot nearby, but the
child passed Mr. B. B. Brickie's
house, and he being home at the
time, ran to her assistance, and nearly
had her clothes torn off about the
time the others reached them. It's
the same old story of parents going
off and leaving their children to themselves,
and had it been anywhere
where help was not so near, this
child, who is one of Henry Stukes's,
would have probably lost her life.
Clara Stukes, the little negro girl
who was burned at her home at Cope
a few days ago, died last week, having
contracted pneumonia.
Christmas Exercises.
Very attractive and interesting
Christmas exercises were conducted
at Trinity Methodist church last Sunday
evening by the pupils of the Sun
day-school. The congregation of the
Baptist church was invited and accepted
the invitation to attend the
exercises.
After the classes Sunday morning
at the Baptist Sunday-school, brief
Christmas exercises, consisting of
recitations and songs, were held.

Galatz, Roumania's Great Port.
Galatz, Roumania's largest and
most important commercial city situated
on the Danube, is the subject; i
of the following war geography bul-!
letin issued by the National Geographic
society:
"If Field Marshal von Mackensen's
drive through the Dobrudja had ex-;
tended beyond the Tchernovada
bridgehead to the north as far as
Galatz, Roumania would have been
cut off entirely from the Black Sea,
and the traffic of the Danube would
have been bottled up. This city,1
whirh has a noDulation of more than
70,000, is the chief lumber port of1
the kingdom and stands second to j
Braila in grain shipments.
"Galatz enjoys signal commercial
advantages in its situation on the
left bank of the Danube between two j
great tributary arteries of traffic, the j
Sereth and the Pruth, the former ris- I
ing in Bukowina and draining all of j
central Moldavia, while the latter
rises in the Galician Carpathians and
flows in a southeasterly direction,
forming the boundary line between j
Roumania and the rich Russian province
of Bessarabia. The mouth ofj
the Sereth is three miles southwest
of Galatz and the Pruth enters the
Danube 10 miles east of the city.
"The new section of Galatz takes
the form of an amphitheater spread!
out upon an elevation some distance
to the north of the river, and the
'old town' occupies the low land between
the cliff and the water front.
Most of the residences are in the j
new section, while the flour and!
paste mills, the grain elevators and j
the immense grain magazines are lo- J
cated in the old town.
"Galatz is defended by three lines;
of fortifications, resembling an entrenched
camp. The Sereth line of
defense, which extends to the northwest
as far as Focshani, a distance
of 45 miles, is well supplied with
Krupp and Gruson guns.
"For a number of years Galatz has
been the headquarters of the European
commission of the Danube,
which had control of the improve-!
ments and the maintenance of the j
channel through the lower reaches of!
the river, the Sulina mouth of the
waterway being 90 miles east of the
city. At the time of the outbreak of
the war this commission was composed
of representatives of AustriaHungary,
France, Great Britain,
Germany, Italy, Roumania, Turkey
and Russia, all of which nations are
now involved in the war, so that for
the time being the commission is
completely disrupted.
"Galatz's rapid growth from a
n aaa i^ a
luwLi ui i,uuu ruuctuiiauts tu a yiauc
ten times as large began in 1834,
the year that the first steamer arrived
here after a successful and historic
voyage down the river from the
Iron Gates, on the distant Hungarian
border.
"The region between Galatz and
the Pruth river is a forbidding
swamp or mire, covering 50 square
miles, where fowl and half-wild
swine are to be found in great numbers.
The swine have been known
to attack the peasant^ who frequent
the lowland to gather the gigantic
reeds which are extensively used for

fuel. The Pruth, incidentally, is
held in aversion by all Roumanians,
who believe that many of the calam- 1
ities to which the flesh is heir have
come from beyond that waterway? =
cholera, war and famine. And a
lesser ill, but one which tries the ,
patience of the peasant farmer, is 1
the burr which is brought over from
Bessarabia in the tails of the Russian
horses. These burrs creep up <
clothing like things alive and make 1
an inextricable tangle of Woolly fab- !
rics. When they get in the manes <
and tails of animals they form a stiff,
heavy mat like an immovable board .
or club. i
"Roumanians, Greeks, Bulgarians,
Russians, Armenians, Jews and the ,
recently emancipated Tsiiganes
(gypsies) mingle in the great bazaar
of Galatz. The Jews, who constitute
20 per cent of the population, are
the thrifty merchants of the port and
are largely in control of the export
trade in grain, lumber and cattle.
They also handle the imports of textiles,
machinery, and coal.
"To the tourist the most interesting
building in Galatz is the Church
of St. Mary's, which contains the
tomb of the celebrated Cossack chief,
Mazeppa, whose intrigue with the
wife of a noble at the Polish court;
and his dire punishment (being j
bound naked to the back of a wild J
horse and set adrift on the desert) '
have been immortalized in Byron's
poem. The tomb is supposed to have
been rifled of its remains by the
Russians during one of their several
descents upon the city, for the memory
of Mazeppa is execrated by the
soldiers of the Czar inasmuch as he
became an ally of Charles XII of
Sweden. He died of poison in the
same year that Peter the Great defeated
Charles on the field of Pul
towa."
