Mr. J. Roger Hair, a prominent
citizen of Blackville. and a brother
of Dr. George F. Hair, of Bamberg,
died Monday of last week in a hospital
in Columbia, at the age of
about u7 years. He had been ill for
several weeks. The deceased was a
member of the Blackville Baptist
church. He owned the electric light
plant at Blackville and was one of
that town's foremost citizens.
Dr. J. B. Black was the recipient
last Thursday of a fine watermelon,
the gift of Mr. J. Ham Kirkland, of
Olar. But it was not a Bamberg
county product. Mr. Kirkland planted
melons in Florida this year, and
this fine specimen was picked from
his field. He had already sold two
carloads at a fancy price, and shipment
of several more carloads was
* expected to be made during the following
few days.
Play Ground Opened.
The Civic league play ground was
formally opened last Saturday afternoon
at "> o'clock. The colored band
furnished music for the occasion.
It is by nature a beautiful spot.
Tall pines and spreading oaks furnish
shade, beneath which the little
folks enjoy themselves in swings.sliding
boards, etc. Seats have been
built around some of the trees, thus
providing comfortable resting places.
Mf" w P Innps <ravp the child
ren a little talk as regards their deportment
while on the grounds, and
left it in the hands of the boy scouts
to see that her suggestions were carried
out.
Boys and girls alike are expected
to behave just as though they-were
in their own yards under the eyes of
their own mothers. Altogether the
play ground compares favorably with
those found in cities?indeed it is
much nicer than some and as a town
we can take just pride in that fact.
.Most of the credit falls to the play
ground committee, of which .Mrs.

V'ltti Oiivg -w
Xewton Smoak. Mrs. Frank Bamberg,
Mrs. F. 0. Brabham. .Mrs. Joe Brabham,
and Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker constitute
the committee. ^
May w? not hope that'in the near
future, a play ground will be placed
where the children who work in the
factory can. gather and enjoy the
exercise and fresh air that their bodies
need and should have??Contributed.

Injured by Blow From Train.
Private Willard Robinson, of company
F. South Carolina National
Guard, was struck by a Seaboard Air
Line train while doing guard duty
at a point near Bamberg last Wednesday.
The soldier suffered concussion
of the brain, and grave fears
are felt for his recovery. In addition
to the injury to the head, the patient
is suffering from a broken collar
bone and the left shoulder is badly
hurt. The injured private was taken
to a hospital in Columbia and underwent
an operation, but up to a day
or two ago he had not regained consciousness.

J. M. Kinsey received a letter from
her brother, Mr. Jesse O'Byrnes, a
former Bamberg boy, stating that he,
was on the eve of leaving for France.
Mr. O'Byrnes has been in the navy
for several years, and has been rapidly
promoted. He is the first Bamberg
boy to leave for service across the
big pond, and the best wishes of
many friends go with him, having no.
fear but that he will give a good account
of himself. Specific information,
of course, as to the sailing and
the point of destination is lacking.
Mr. O'Byrnes is also a brother of
Mrs. H. W. Beard, of Bamberg.

start to answer as you would if someone
asked you your birthday, as "August

by the registrar by subtracting
the age in years on this year's

The Presbyterian Pastor.
Rev. Pierce DuBois, the new pas-j
tor of the Presbyterian church, conducted
his first service in the city last
Sunday morning:. In the evening,
services were conducted by Rev. J. L.
McLees. of Orangeburg.
Rev. Mr. DuBois has recently been
sent to this charge by the Presbytery,
the Rev. Jonas Barclay having been
transferred to a field in North Carolina.
Mr. DuBois will have charge of
the churches at Bamberg, Denmark.
Blackville, and Barnwell, the field vacated
by Mr. Barclay.
Definite arrangements as to services
have not yet been completed,
but it is likely that services will be
held here two Sundays in each month
instead of one, as heretofore. Ser?

been held here on the third Sunday.
It is probable that Mr. DuBois will
hold services in Bamberg each first
Sunday horning and third Sunday
night.
A revival meeting was held in the
Presbyterian church last week, conducted
by the Rev. Melton Clark, D.
D., of the Second Presbyterian church
of Charleston. Much interest was
aroused, and the church has taken on
new life.
Mr. DuBois is a graduate of Davidson
college, and has just completed
a theological couruse at the Columbia
Theological seminary. He is a
young man of pleasing personality,
and the Bamberg church no doubt
will make material advancement under
his pastorate.
parents. If you were born in Porto
Rico, you are a citizen of the United
States, unless you were born of
alien parentage. If you were born
abroad, you are still a citizen of the
United States if your father was a
citizen of the United States at the
time vnn were born, unless you have
expatriated yourself.
(2) You are a naturalized citizen
if you have completed your naturalization;
that is, if you have "taken
final papers." But you are not a
citizen if you have only declared your
intention to become a citizen (that is,
if you have only "taken out first papers");
in the latter case you are
only a "declarant."
You are also a naturalized citizen
if, although foreign born, your father
or surviving parent became fully
naturalized while you were under 21
years of age, and if you came to the
United States under 21.
(3) You are a declarant if, although
a citizen or subject of some
foreign country, you have declared
on oath before a naturalization court
your intention to become a citizen of
the United States. Receipt fropi the
clerk 'of court of the certified dopy of
such declaration is often called "taking
out first papers." You are not
a declarant if your first paper was
taken out after September 26, 1906,
and is more than 7 years old. v , .
(4) You are an alien if you do
not fall within one of the three
classes above mentioned.
5. Where were you born?
First name the town, then the
State, then the country, as "Colum-'
bus, Ohio;" "Vienna. Austria;"
"Paris, France;" "Sofia, Bulgaria."
6. If not a citizen, of what country
are you a citizen or subject?
- This .need be answered only by
aliens and declarants. Remember
that a "declarant" is not yet a citizen
of the United States. If an alien
or declarant, state the name of your
country, as "France," "Japan,"
"China," etc.
7. What is your present trade,
occupation, or office?
This does not ask what you once
did, nor what you have done most of
the time, nor what you are best fitted
to do. It asks what your job is right
now. State briefly, as "Farmer,"
".Miner," "Student," "Laborer (on
farm, in rolling mill, in automobile,
wagon, or other factory)," "Machinist
in automobile factory," etc. If
you hold an office under State or federal
government, name the office you
hold. If you are in one of the following
offices or employments, use
one of the names hereafter mentioned:
"Customhouse clerk," "employed
in the transmission of the mails," or
"employed in an armory, arsenal, or j
navy yard," "mariner, actually em- I
nlnvoH in the ?pn cprvicp of citizen Or I
merchant within the United States."
8. By whom employed? Where j
employed?
If you are working for an individual,
firm, corporation, or association,
state its name. If in business, trade,
profession, or employment for yourself,
so state. If you are an officer of
the State or federal government, say
whether your office is under the United
States, the State, the county, or a
! municipality. In answer to the ques
tion as to when you are employed,
Igive the town, county, and State
i where you work.
9. Have you a father, mother,
wife, child under 12, or a sister or
brother under 12 solely dependent
upon you for support (specify
which) ?
i Consider your answer thoughtfully.
If it is true that there is another I
mouth than your own which you
alone have a duty to feed, do not let
your military ardor interfere with
the wisK of the nation to reduce i
war's misery to a minimum. On the
other hand, unless the person you
j have in mind is solely dependent on
j you, do not hide behind petticoats or
j children.
' 10. Married or single (which)?
Race (specify which)?
| This does not ask whether you
j were once married, but whether you
are married now. In answer to the j
question as to your race, state brief- |
ly whether "Caucasian," Mongol- j
. ian." "Negro," Malayan." or "In-i
jdian."
i 11. What military service have
lyou had? Rank? Branch? Years? !
: Nation or State?
; No matter what country you \
| served, you must give complete in- j
j formation. In answering these ques- :
jtions, first name your rank, using one |

at Trinity Methodist church. ,
Bishop Denny ranks easily as one
of the South's greatest preachers today,

great day in the intellectual and religious
circles of the city.
Indications are that quite a number
of visitors from the neighboring
sections will be here for the

"Militia (of such and such a State),"
"Volunteers of United States," or
"Regular Army (Navy) of United
States."
12. Do you claim exemption from
draft? Specify grounds.
Because you claim exemption from
draft, it by no means follows that you
are exempt. For the information of
the war department you should make
a claim now if you intend to prosecute
it. Some persons will be exempted
on account of their occupations
or offices, some on account of
the fact that they have relatives dependent
upon them for support.
Your answer touching these things
will be important in supporting the
claim you now intend to make in
your answer to the present question.
Be sure, therefore, that the grounds
you now state are in conformity with
your answers to questions 7 and 8.
In stating grounds you claim as exempting
you, use one of the following
terms: If you claim to be an
executive, legislative, or judicial otficer
of the State or nation, name
your office and say whether it is an
office of the State or nation. If you
claim to be a member of a religious
sect whose creed forbids its members
to participate in a war in any form,
simply name the sect. If you are employed
in the transmission of the
United States mails or as an artificer
or workman in an armory, arsenal,
or navy yard of the United States, or
if you are a mariner employed in the
sea service of any citizen or merchant
within the United States, so
state. If you are a felon or otherwise
morally deficient and desire to claim
exemption on that ground, state your
ground briefly. If you claim physical
disability, state that briefly. If you
claim exemption on any other ground,
state your ground briefly.
STRIKE AT COTTOX MILL.
Operatives, I>emauding More Wagew,
Walked Out Thursday.
Much surprise was expressed in the
city last Thursday, when it was learned
that the Bamberg Cotton Mills .
company had closed down the mill
on account of a strike in the spinning
room. The strike' seems to have had
no leadership and was without organization.
The mill remained closed
throughout Thursday. Friday morning
the whistle blew as usual. Op*
eratives from other rooms were
drafted for the spinning room, and
the mill was soon in operation as
usual, excepting that a portion of ^
the machinery remained idle. Saturday
a good many of the strikers went
back to work.
It is understood that Wednesday a
committee of operatives made a. demand
for an increase in wages approximating
23 per cent, increase.
Wednesday afternoon a conference
of the mill management was held,
at which the matter was discus'sed.
It was ascertained that the market
for cotton goods had beeri decidedly
off since the declaration of war, and.
that the mill was not financially in
condition to grant an increase at
this time. Following the refusal to
grant an increase, the spinning room
operatives walked out Thursday
morning. The rest of the mill could
not be operated with the spinning
room idle.
Several conferences were held
Thursday to secure a settlement or
the matter in a manner satisfactory
to all parties. At a meeting of the
mill operatives, President Cope informed
them that not a single order
for cotton goods had been received
since the declaration of war had beenmade,
but that that day a good price
had been offered for a considerable
quantity of goods. That while present
conditions did not favor an increase.
the outlook was bright for* N
better conditions, and that it was '
v
very probable the mill could increase ,
the wages within the next few weeks. >
This seemed to satisfy most of the
operatives, and many of them have /
returned to their positions.
Mrs. McMillan Entertains.
On last Friday afternoon, Mrs. L.
P. McMillan was hostess to a number
of her friends. This lovely party
was given in honor of her two charm-' '
ing guests, Mrs. W. F. Helms and *
Mrs. C. J. Talbott, of Atlanta, Ga.
The home tfas most attractive on
this occasion with decorations of pot
plants and Dorothy Perkins roses.
There were several tables of enthus- , /
iastic auction players, while others
enjoyed fancy work. Delicious refreshments
were served. Mrs. A. M.

jardinier on the highest cut.
Each honor guest was presented with
a beautiful pair of silk hose: The

Eastern Star Chapter Organized.
Tuesday night the Bamberg chap-,
ter of the Order of the Eastern Star
was organized. Forty members were
initiated and several others are yet
to be initiated. Thirty of this number
are Bamberg residents, and ten
are from Ehrhardt. The chapter
was instituted by the worthy grand vmatron,
Mrs. Lon H. Monk, 'of Campobello,
assisted by Mrs. Mary Kearse,
of Ehrhardt. also a grand officer. The
