Patrick was doonma ponair unrl.- PvnlnHpH in 1U5 ouuit *- v"r v Mr. Patrick's shop. The explosion did no injury?except to the tank. The following delegates have been elected by the local U. D. C. chapter to the district convention at St. Matthews: Mrs. A. W. Knight, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, Mrs. C. J. S. Brook-: er. and Mrs. J. R. Owens. Messrs. H. L. Hinnant and J. A. Wyman, representing the Bamberg church, F. V. James, from Denmark, and Rev. Jonas Barclay, of Blackville, left yesterday for Walterboro to attend the presbytery. The total precipitation during February in this county amounted to 3.38 inches, which was 1.63 inches below normal. The greatest rainfall in one day occurred on the 21st, amounting to three-fourths of one . inch. Dr. E. O. Watson, who has been away for several Sundays, is at home * again, and will conduct services at 1 Trinity church next Sunday. Sunday < morning, he will preach on some du- ' ties of patriotism in the present i ! emergency. The public is cordially < invited to be present. ( new u. L.ewis r owier, u. u., president of Cox college, Atlanta, preached last Sunday morning and evening c at the Baptist church to large congre- ] gations. The Baptist, pulpit next Sunday will be filled by Rev. A. E. ' , Reimier, of Kingstree. The public ' is cordially invited to attend. A very interesting meeting of the - Domestic Science club was held here ; last Thursday. The assistant State demonstration agent. Miss Gladys Smith, and the county agent, Mrs. Faust, were present and gave demon- ( strations. The local organization 1 was enrolled as one of the home , demonstration clubs of the county. Conscription Proper Plan. Mr. Robert Lathan, editor of the ( Charleston News and Courier, in con- . 'versation at The Herald office Mon- , day, stated that he believed the only feasible plan for raising an army will 1 be by universal service. It has been t the experience with all countries dur- , ' ing any war of consequence that con- i scription had to be resorted to, and ( this country would save much time ( and avoid much confusion by adopt- t ing the universal plan immediately. y Mr. Lathan is of the belief that the more thoroughly we enter this war, , the sooner will peace be consummat- , ed. It is a well known fact, said Mr. Lathan, that the volunteer plan in , raising a large army would take from , the commercial life of the nation large numbers of men who could best serve their country by continuing to carry on their respective lines of s business, whereas men whom could ( best 9erve their country in the ranks e would probably not volunteer. Uni- j versal service treats all alike, and j j makes such exceptions to service that i j are necessary to continue to carry on the commercial activities of the na- c tion and provide sustenance for the army and the country.

Bottling Works Being Erected at ' Glcndale Springs. >j Col. John F. Folk has leased the ; bottling rights of his Glendale springs property to the Chero-Cola j company, of Orangeburg, and this j company is now erecting a large bot- j tling plant at the springs. It is un-j derstood that the work on the plant I is being pushed, and that operations will probably be started on May 1st. It is stated that about $3,800 worth of machinery will be installed at once. Chero-Cola and other soft drinks will be bottled at the springs, and this will be the distributing point for parts of Bamberg, Colleton and Hampton counties, and perhaps other sections. The company will continue its bottling plant at Orangeburg, and will operate the Bamberg plant in addition. Col. Folk has reserved the rights for the sale of Glendale water. A new product will be the manufacture of Glendale Springs ginger ale. This drink will be bottled for Col. Folk by the Chero-Cola people. The opening of the bottling plant at Glendale springs brings another enterprise to this section. It involves considerable capital, and will give employment to a number of workmen. Glendale has established a wide reputation for its mineral qualities. , Carlisle Shows Her Patriotism. According to prearranged plans a flag pole appeared on the campus of Carlisle school last Thursday just in front of the gymnasium. At four 5'clock in the afternoon the student body gathered around the flag staff and a very impressive ceremony was carried out.. Three verses of "America" were sung by the assembly. Then Prof. Guilds introduced Dr. E. O. Watson, pastor of Trinity Methodist 1 rhurch, who made an address eulogizing the flag. Dr. Watson's address was indeed excellent. In his own inimitable way he traced the history of 1 aur flag and told of the things for 1 which it stands. Then, as the flag was siowiy raiseu iu us pusuiuu u> Mr. A. T. Whetsell and .Miss Grace Pox, president and secretary, respectively, of the senior class, the as- i sembly sang in chorus the first veyse ; 3f our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner." The meeting was ( then dismissed with a prayer by Dr. \Vatson. Carlisle Defeats Porter. i i In a good exhibition of base ball , Carlisle school defeated Porter Mili- ( :ary academy, of Charleston, by a , score of 6 to 2, last Monday. The . pitching of Luther for the local boys . svas invincible. Skinner, Porter's ? star pitcher, was knocked from the t 30X in the fifth inning. DuBose, N., 'or Carlisle, got a hit for each trip ( :o the bat. On Thursday and Friday . Carlisle meets Bailey Military insti- . ute for two games. These games j vill probably decide the State cham- ( jionship for 1917.

In accordance with a call by President Wilson and later by Governor .Manning for the people to institute a campaign for civic preparedness to pass through the crisis of war now upon us, Mr. Robert Lathan, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, and .Mr. C. A. McFaddin, of the farm demonstration work of the department of agriculture, made addresses at the court house .Monday. The meeting had been arranged just a few days previous, and there had Arvnn *?+ it yi i f x- f A?* O r\ o_ ueeil 11 L11C luuu; 1UI au ? ci (.J.Oing it generally, consequently there were not many farmers present, although quite a number of business men and a few ladies were on hand. Those who heard the addresses received a message of great importance not only to the farmers but to the people generally. .Mr. Lathan was the first speaker. Mr. Lathan devoted his time to a discussion of the necessity for preparing for conditions that are bound to come with the instigation of open hostilities and war measures. America, said the speaker, in this campaign is trying to avoid the mistakes of Great Britain and other allied countries. These countries failed to prepare for a long struggle, with disastrous consequences Even now men whom it re- ' quired months to train for army duty are being taken from the trenches in France to go back to the farms. In the coming crisis ever? person has a part?service for everyone. The farmer can serve his country just as well on his farm as the man behind | the gun. The importance or growing food crops was greatly stressed as of the utmost importance. Labor throughout the country is fully 15 per cent, short this year, and there is a food shortage throughout the wor\d, a shortage perhaps unequaled before. The South, which has been importing millions of dollars worth of food, must feed herself. The merchants and other business men were < urged to do their part by cooperating with the farmer. Incidentally, said .Mr. Lathan, the . raising of food crops will be extreme-; ' iy profitable, as unprecedented prices are now commanded for all foods. There is no assurance that South Carolina will be able to import foods. Within the next few months, the United States will be mobilizing an army unequaled in the history of the country. The railroads will be taken ever to transport the army and army supplies, and there is a probability Df many articles being withheld entirely from transportation; and other articles will be transported secondary to the army and army supplies. This means a shortage of transportation facilities. Cotton is not to be outlawed, howaver. There will be a ready market and urgent need for cotton goods, ' and cotton will continue to be a - ? Vmf tlio nnint ctrpss [JILMlLd UIU i up, uut i iiv w?. ? ed by Mr. Lathan was that the fact :hat oui\first attention must be given 1 :o feeding ourselves?not depending 1 3n the West as in the past, for the ( West will be busy feeding the armies. < The people are urged not only to produce as much food as possible, * Put to save as much as possible. The * Did Southern tradition of making the table groan under food must be rele- \ ?ated. We should practice the great- ? est of economy. As proof of this Mr. j Lathan referred his hearers to the conditions in the war countries, t where every force had been mar- 1 shaled to raise and conserve foods. i Our people have become so used ( to big happenings breaking, that it is i hard for us to realize that we are at 1 war. The speaker referred in t rn illuminating manner to the \ activities of the armies on the i European battle fronts, stating that 1 while the British victories on the 1 Western front are encouraging, con- < iitions on the Eastern front are not so promising. As to what Russia 1 will do is somewhat uncertain. If f Russia should make separate peace, ? it would deal a hard blow to the al- j lies, and might necessitate sending j hundreds of thousands of American { troops into Europe. The people are 1 urged to prepare for a long war. It j might be terminated soon, but an < early termination rested largely on j proper preparations at home. \ Mr. McFaddin stated that within | < the next three, four or five years it < would be necessary to readjust our j system of farming, ana me suunu 2 the start is made the better. The approaching crop would probably be ] the, last ever made in this State be- j fore the boll weevil appears. The ? weevil has caused much suffering in j < its wake because of the lack of prep- < aration for its coming. He urged' that immediate steps be taken for . i Bamberg county to feed herself. The : t cotton crop will have to be cut, un- ] der weevil conditions, to from five to j i 11 acres per plow: this acreage is 1 i not sufficient to provide a money < crop. We must look to other crops, 1 in the future. I ; The value of velvet beans was < greatly stressed. This bean provided j; SUM)AY-S('HOOL MEETING. I Interdenominational Meeting to lie Held Here Tuesday, April 24. j An interdenominational Sunday-! school meeting will be held in Trini-i ty M. E. church, Bamberg, on Tues-j day, April 24. All schools in the! county are invited and urged to be j represented. Several speakers of J national note will make addresses on this occasion, and everyone who attends is promised something worth while. The following is the programme: Morning Session. 10:30?Song and prayer service, by Rev. J. D. Huggins. 10:45?The church at Sundayschool, by L. A.

Carlisle very probably has the 5trr?n2PRt hasphall tpam this vpar that she has ever put out. She has started off the season in great style. The big games are now on?Porter and Bailey this week and other strong :eams following. Porter has already received her medicine. Here's what the management cvants to say to the lovers of baseball :n Bamberg and the surrounding communities: They have lost moneyen every game played on the local grounds this season! It takes money :o run a good ball team, it takes money to bring visiting teams here :o play. The Carlisle management cannot offord to have these games at i heavy financial loss. On the last *ame, for example, about $15.00 in money, besides entertainment for the visitors, was lost. We believe the fans appreciate :hese games. The critics tell us they ire equal to first-class college games, rhe management doesn't want to discontinue them, nor do they believe ;he fans want them discontinued, but anless there is an improvement in at:endance, Carlisle, like some of tlie ether institutions, will be forced to call off some of her greatest games.

They may 3e planted now between corn, plantng one hill of beans between every )ther hill of corn. While providing i most profitable crop, the beans go further and fertilize the land, being ;he leading leguminous crop. The ralue of soy beans and peanuts was ilso discussed at length. There is a Dig demand for soy beans for oil and ?ood products, and ready markets ;an be had for them. Mr. McFaddin impressed upon his learers the importance of planting ?ood gardens. One acre planted in i garden, he said, would yield from from eight to 10 times as much as in acre of cotton, if properly planted md cultivated. A flock of from 50 ;o 100 chickens should be in every farmyard. Such flocks will provide enough to purchase shoes and clothes for the family. Corn crops should be rrown plentifully. Every farmer should plant plenty of beans to eat, should have a good sweet potato patch, and should plant a patch of sorghum for Hie hogs. He said that it would pay to fertilize heavily now, as the price of all farm produce is high, and farmers should grow just as much as possible. Close attention should be given to cultivation. Help for the negroes was strongly i urged. Negroes are the hardest class ;o be reach.ed in these campaigns, and ; lie asked every farmer to talk to his j tenants. He found that they are j usually ready to cooperate with the I white people, but that they would I uot generally pay much attention to government agents. Naturally the small farmer will suffer greatest from any lack of foodstuffs. C? v. 4 CIVIC PREPAREDNESS. i I Campaign to Re Launched in Baml>cr<: County. To prepare Bamberg county for ! war conditions, meetings have been arranged to be held at every school in the county. Various speakers will be assigned to each of these meetj ings. These speakers will have important messages to deliver to the people, and every man, woman and child, in every walk of life is urged to be present. If he does not need help himself, he can get the message and carry it to some one who does need it. The following committee has been appointed by County Demonstrator Heard at the request of Governor Manning to carry forward the work of preparedness in Bamberg county: Dr. E. O. Watson, Rev. E. F. K. Roof, Rev. J. D. Huggins, Messrs. W. D. Rhoad, C. W. ( Rentz, J. W. Hill, J. H. Fender, Paul Whitaker, J. C. Guilds.

V "Kidney Medicine" Confiscated. Last week Sheriff S. G. Ray confiscated a quantity of liquid labeled "kidney medicine" from Charlie Gregory, who operates the Busy Bee restaurant, and ?rom Webster Handy, a negro store keeper, both in Bamberg. On being examined the concoction wa^. found to be a cheap quality of^gii^, it is stated, although, according tcT the label the liquid was supposed to contain only 23 per cent, alcohol. About one hundred bottles were confiscated from Gregory, and 38 pints from Handy. Cases were made out against each of them. Meeting of W. M. S. The Woman's Missionary society, < of the Baptist church, held its regular meeting last Wednesday afternoon, with .Mrs. Carter as leader. Subject for the afternoon: "Unto the Uttermost Part." An interesting programme was carried out. A let- i ter from Mrs. Fizer stated that we had met our apportionment. At this meeting our spring offering for the orphan we are supporting was taken up, the amount collected being $16.50. We regret very much that our president, .Miss Annie Hartzog, found it necessary to resign. As she urged that her resignation be accepted we were forced to carry out her request. Mrs. J. F. Carter was eiecieu iu mi out the unexpired term of Miss Hartzog, the time for the regular election of officers being in Xovember. As Mrs. Carter has so kindly accepted , the office, let's each and every one < pledge her our loyal support, hoping for even greater blessings in the future than in the past.?Contributed. i Union Meeting Programme.

V " Denmark, April 11.?At a meeting here this afternoon the following officers that were elected in the city election last Tuesday were seated in office: Mayor, J. Z. Brooker; alder- ^ men, W. B. Gillam, J. W. Lancaster, T. P. McCrae, J. S. Walker, D. N. ~ ; Cox and D. M. Cox. At their first meeting the new council elected tne following officers: J. E. Steadman, Jr., city clerk; R. C. Hardwick, Esq., city attorney; W. J. Hutto, chief of police. The election last Tuesday was one of the hottest that Denmark has ever witnessed. Two straight tickets were put in the field, one being the old administration running in a body and i the other a straight "new ticket." The new ticket won by a good majority and thus a clean J sweep has been made, not only by the mayor and aldermen, but all the appointments made by them are new people. After the votes were counted and the results declared, a number of people joined in automobiles and ^ drove over the town, each carrying a broom, representing that a "clean '--M sweep" had been made. \ Town A'oters Must Register.
