The Fairfax Citizen, a weekly newspaper published at Fairfax, is among our exchanges this week. The paper is published by Mrs. E. A. McDowell as editor.' On Monday morning Sheriff Ray destroyed thirty-four quarts of whiskey. This contraband was confiscated at Denmark by the sheriff some weeks ago, while in transit. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker entertained a number of their friends Monday at a fish fry at Edisto river in honor of Judge and Mrs. R. W. * -x? i iMemmingsr, 01 tiianwiuu. The friends of Mrs. R. A. Delk, who was recently operated on at Charleston, will be glad to know that she is rapidly recovering. She returned home from the hospital several days ago. Much damage is reported from the recent heavy rains. It is likely that both corn and cotton have been damaged to a considerable extent. Grass appears to have made decidedly more progress than the crops during the wet weather. A play, entitled "America First," was presented at the graded school auditorium Friday evening by Orangeburg talent for the benefit of the Red Cross fund. The play was very, creditable in every way, and a neat sum was realized for the Red Cross. One thousand, three hundred, eighty-seven dollars and ninety-four cents has been paid into the State highway commission fund as auto moDiie license iees irom camuerg county. The greatest portion of this fund will be turned over to Bamberg county, a small percentage going to the State highway commission for the Memminger, of Charleston. Messrs. Decania Dowling and J. E. Spann were painfully, though not seriously, injured in an automobile accident Friday. In order to avoid a collision near the city, Mr. Dowling swerved the car to one side and applied the brakes. The car was overturned and Mr. Spann was caught beneath it. Mr. Dowling sustained painful bruises, and Mr. Spann suffered a broken nose and other slight injuries. The appeal in the case of Miss Carrie Bamberg, et al., versus Capt. W. S. Bamberg, has been abandoned. This case, which involves the possession of the Bamberg home tract, on which Capt. Bamberg resides, was heard in this county some time ago, resulting in a verdict in favor of Capt. Bamberg. Notice of appeal was served, but a few days ago notice was given that the appeal had been abandoned. Postmaster Knight requests that we call attention to the practice of some of the postoffice box patrons of slamming their boxes when closing them. This practice has already resulted in the breaking or damaging of several boxes, and it is entirely unnecessary, as the delicate mechanism of the box only requires merely closing gently to spring the lock. As V\ V\/\vAn rt rtAfitl rt r? /I if uuaco aic tuonv , clliul At 1 quires a considerable amount to repair them, it is desired that slamming them be discontinued. Dr. G. W. I. Loadholt, of Jenny, writes The Herald as follows: "I passed through Bamberg last week with my family, accompanied by Albert Loadholt, going to Salisbury, N. C., to attend the Miller-Ewing mar riage. w hen we went through it was so early in the morning but few people were up, and night caught us at Orangeburg coming back, so everything was closed up when we came through Bamberg. We had a very pleasant trip going and coming, and found the roads in fairly good condition."

The county selective draft board < has received instructions to draft 183 men from Bamberg county. The gross quota from this county is 207. and the county gets credit for the 24 enlistments, leaving the net quota 183. 1 While no official information has i yet been given out as to the method i of drawing the numbers, printed dis- i patches indicate that the entire 1774 ] registered men from Bamberg county i will be drafted. On the first call, it is < indicated that the first 183 men, after exemptions have been decided, will be < called on to go into the first incre- ] ment of the national army, which will probably number 687,000 men. Oth- ] er calls will be made as the men are needed, and the process will be re- < peated each time, until ail of the 1 registrants are called, it" necessary. i Exemptions will be decided on after i the draft is made. If a person whose i name is drawn for the first increment desires to claim exemption or dis- 1 charge, he has a specified time within which to file his claim. Full in- 1 formation for claiming exemption will 1 be found in another part of this issue 1 of The Herald. : ] Death of Mrs. Augusta Jennings. 1 Mrs. Augusta Moorer Jennings, relict of the late J. F. Jennings, died in this city Tuesday night about seven o'clock at the home of her son, Mr. J. F. Jennings. Mrs. Jennings j had been ill for several months, and her death was not unexpected.

The interment took place Wednes- c day afternoon at five o'clock at Beth- ^ j lehem Methodist church. Orangeburg j county, the funeral being conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. P.

These ^ when completed by the chapters, should be sent to the nearest Red h Cross supply service ware house. The c following list contains a sugested list of contents for comfort bags: (Bags should be made of washable material, size 10 by 13 inches, with draw- b strings at the top.) ii Black sewing cotton number 30, white sewing cotton number 30, white n darning cotton, needles No. 5, darning needle, needle case,. buttons, black and white medium size, in bags 3 in- s dies by 5 inches, large thimble, blunt A pointed scissors, cake of soap, com- ^ mon pins, small comb, tooth brush, tooth paste, small round mirror, b handkerchiefs, lead pencil, writing b' pad, envelopes, and post cards, pocket ' knife, shoe laces.

At the regular convention of Bam- < berg lodge. No. 3S. Knights of Py- 1 thias. Monday evening, the lodge was especially fortunate in having present three grand lodge officers, perhaps the first time in the history of the in/io-n Hiroo trranrl nffirers were nres IV/UgC mi w-v u?*x* v...Vw. ^ ? ent at one convetnion. The grand 1 officers present were: Mr. W. E. Derrick, of Orangeburg, grand chan- , rellor: Rev. Louis Bristow, of Co- ? lumbia, grand vice chancellor; and 1 Mr. C. D. Brown, of Abbeville, grand , keeper of records and seal. j During the evening delightful lem- i onade and cake were served. Al- ' though the visit of the grand officers 1 bad been hastily arranged, quite a i number of Knights were present, and < i most enjoyable evening was spent. The visitors were welcomed to the J lodge by B. D. Carter, Esq,. Splendid talks were made by the i visiting Knights. Mr. Brown, who is 1 i recognized authority on ritualistic j work, exemplified the secret work in i most enlightening and instructive manner. 1 Messrs. Bristow and Derrick made j :a!ks that sparkled* with wit and hu- t nor. but withal containing stirring messages for the lodge and for the J - - - _ it Drder. Bamberg lodge was highly j ^ 'ommended by the grand officers, the t odge being characterized as being >ne of the livest and best in the * state. - ^ During the convention, the semi- ] mnual reports to the grand lodge s ind to the district convention were c ead. These reports showed that dur- T i * ng the six months from Jan. 1 to < c fuly 1, there had been twelve in- j ? tiations, three reinstatements, and J1 i c >ne received by card. During the; g lame period there has been two sus-! t >ensions and one transferred by card, j c eaving a net increase of twelve. The j * iresent membership is 84, with one j r andidate yet to take the ranks, and j r me application for - membership by :ard. * J Messrs. Bristow, Brown and Derick left Tuesday morning by auto for i Fairfax to attend the convention of t he third district, Knights of Pythias, j1 Iessrs. Paul Whitaker and H. L. Hin-: c tant represented the local lodge at j c he district convention. t More Big Tomatoes. E c Bamberg county certainly is a [ ;ood place to raise tomatoes. Last c Saturday morning, The Herald was iresented with two large ones by Mr. "larence Black, cashier of the Peo- ^ iles Bank. We don't believe Farmer jp Slack would know a niu or coiton rom a hill of corn, but he certainly s :nows something about tomatoes, for j, me of the two weighed 24 ounces t ,nd the other 20 ounces, both picked e rom the same vine. a E But Mr. J. P. O'Quinn went him t me ounce better, bringing in the v iggest tomato yet. It tipped the cales at 25 ounces, was full ripe, jj ound and symetrical. Mr. O'Quinn ays his family has more than 600 r ars of fruits and vegetables. We a on't think it will be wise for Mr. I'Quinn to invite his town friends j, o see him this winter. If he does, e e is likely to be overburdened with r' ornpany. n o ?-?^^ Large Sliipment of Oats. ^ The following clipped from an Ala- e araa newspaper, will be read with h iterest in Bamberg: "That the South can feed herself is ^ o longer a question, it is a concrete n tct. "Houston county gave a demonstra- 11 on in this line yesterday when _ pann Bros., of this place, shipped to j. ugusta, Ga., two car loads, containig 2.100 bushels of Fulghum oats, le oats being raised on Spann Bros.'s irms near Dothan and which rought the neat sum of $1.45 a ushel.

P Opinion in Hiers Case. The following is a summary of th. decision of the supreme court in thcase of the State vs. George J. Hiers :oiiv:cted of manslaughter in thi; county and sentenced to serve si: years in. prison. The summary i reprinted from the Columbia Statof last Sunday: The State, respondent, agains George J. Hiers, defendant-appellant Criminal Law. 1. Motions fo ?ontinuance are addressed to the dis cretion of the trial judge and nc ibuse of discretion in refusing tin motion is shown here. 2. Where defendant's attorney; simply objected to questions pro pounded to a witness and did no state to the trial judge any ground; ^ J j. i i.: J ~ If oojecuon aim me e.xueyuuu uuc: lot attempt to point any error of lav )r point any prejudicial error by th< idmission of the evidence, there is n( question for this court to consider. 3. General reputation of the de :eased for violence may be shown bu1 lot particular acts. 4. Judge's charge as a whole be ing free from error, defendant car lot complain. Before Judge Gary, Bamberg. Af irmed. Opinion by R. C. Watts, A. J. The defendant was indicted foi nurder, tried and convicted of man slaughter before Judge Gary at the October term of court, 1916, and af:er sentence appealed. The first exception alleges error or lie part of his honor in refusing moion for continuance made by the de'endant when the case was called foi rial. His honor found, as a matter ol act. that due diligence had not beer lsed to procure the attendance of the vitnesses named in " the affidavit rhere is nothing in the record tc show that his honor abused the disiretion vested in him in refusing the notion. One of the witnesses, Edvards, did appear and testify in the :ase during the progress of the trial md there was no compliance on the >art of the defendant with rule 27 ol mine Thora u-oe nr :iu U1L lUUi L i uico, X V muu v. iubpoena or warrant for arrest oi hese witnesses shown to the court >r any claim that such papers were n existence. A perusal of the afidavit shows a want of compliance naterially with the demands of the ule. So his honor was not in error in efusing the motion to continue and his exception is overruled. Exception 2 alleges error in allowng Dr. C. F. Black to testify over he objection of defendant's attorleys. The defendant's attorneys simply ibjected, did not state any grounds >f objection to the trial judge when he objection was made, and in the ixception made do not attempt to loint out any prejudicial error of law >r point out any prejudicial error by he admission of the evidence. There s no question presented by this exeption for this court to consider, ^his exception is overruled. Exception 3 is overruled for the ame reasons assigned in overruling xception 2. "Brown vs. Building comiany, 88 S. C. 80. Exception 4 is overruled for the ame reasons assigned in overruling xceptions 2 and 3, and also as t is not pointed out or suggested in he exception wherein or in what manner the defendant was prejudiced nd the jury had before them testinony of other witnesses similar to hat attempted to be proved by this ritness. Exception 5 alleges error in exciuatig the evidence of the witness, Copeand, proof of individual acts of viosnce by the deceased. His honor uled ?hat the witness had already nswered the question objected to by he State and the record in the case rill not support the exception made i the case. His honor was not in rror in ruling as he did. General eputation of deceased for violence lay be shown, but not particular acts f violence. State vs. Trailkill, 71 . C. 142. This exception is overuled. The sixth exception complains of rror upon the part of his honor in is charge to the jury. We find the charge as a whole was ree from error and defendant can ot complain. All exceptions are overruled. Judglent affirmed. We concur: Eugene B. Gary, C. .; D. E. Hydrick, A. J.; T. B. Fraser, .. J.; George W. Gage, A. J. Methodist Missionary Meeting.

July 17.?A marriage * marked by originality and beauty was s solemnized at St. Paul's church at e high noon Thursday, when Miss Margaret Moore became the bride of Mr. James Benjamin Black, of Bamberg. t Rev. Mercer P. Logan, rector of St. ' Paul's, officiated. The bride, who was given in mar) riage by her father, Mr. Walter A. 3 Moore, was charmingly attired in a wnite sann coat suit ana wore a aat . of white satin. Her bouquet was of t lilies of the valley and white roses. ? A color scheme of pink and white was ! carried out in the decoration of the ? church and home. Ophelia roses, ) palms, and Southern smilax being used in artistic profusion. ^ No artificial light was used at the ceremony, the church be ing open wide, and the sunlight 1 falling upon the attractive bridal party. The bridesmaids and groomsmen entered by the side aisles and were met at the altar by the bride and her r maid of honor, Miss Willie Scoville, [ of Orangeburg, who entered by the . middle aisle. Miss Scoville was gowned in white 1 crepe de chine and wore a dainty pink " hat. Her bouquet was of sunburst roses. The bridesmaids, Misses Alma Black, Marian McFadden, Nan Rug heimer and Elizabeth Walker, wore [ dresses of white net and pink hats, and each of them carried a bouquet > of Ophelia roses. The best man, Mr. Francis Bamberg, of Bamberg, and 1 i srrnnmsmen. Messrs. Harrv Wan-1 O WW? ~ r ; namaker, of Orangeburg; Sydney . Seignious; L. C. Smoak, and W. D. ; Rhoad, Jr., of Bamberg, wore suits \ of military appearance, white trous? ers with the blue coats, Mr. Black being connected with the coast re! serve. The ushers were: Messrs. Har> ry Thames, Fred Poulnot, James Ha; good and Dan Black. After the ceremony, a small recep| tion was held at he home of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Black leaving in the afternoon on an automobile tour. The bride's going away suit was of black satin with hat to correspond. The evening before the wedding j i Mr. and Mrs. Moore entertained at a, 1 reception at their home on George i | street, many out-of-town guests, as well as Charleston friends of the; ' young couple being present. As Miss Margaret Moore, Mrs. Black was one of the most attractive and popular girls in the younger set. i Mr. Black is a popular and successful young business man of Bamberg. i | From the Boll Weevil Section. j Mr. ana Mrs. r. ivn-imxiau auu family, of Hahira, Ga., are spending ' some time visiting relatives in the city and county. Mr. McMillan paid . his usual and appreciated annual vis- j it to The Herald office Monday. He lives in the very southern portion of , Georgia, something over a hundred . miles below Savannah, on the Flor- ( ida line. Mr. McMillan plants sea . island cotton and is making quite a success of it. He says that last yearj^ he raised about twenty bales on fif-!| ty acres. The prevailing price of sea island cotton is around seventy cents per pound. Sea island cotton, ^ said Mr. McMillan, is no more difficult to raise in his section than ordinary short staple, except, of course, the yield per acre is not so great. ? About the same amount of fertilizer per acre is required, and- the long staple is cultivated in pretty much the same manner as short pie is c grown here. Mr. McMillan says the ^ boll weevil has struck his farm and this will be his first experience with that gentleman. He does not know 6 yet to what extent his crop will be f damaged. With the exception of the * possible damage from the weevil, Mr. g McMillan has fine prospects for a good crop of sea island this fall. ^ The Tent Meeting. ' 6 On Sunday night, the 22nd, Pasc tor A. N. Allen, of Columbia, will speak at the tent meeting. His subject will be "Christ?the Theme of r the Ages." Mr. Allen has spent fifteen years in Cuba and South Amer- ^ ica, engaged in missionary work. On Monday, the 23rd, he will give a sterormHnan Wtiirp fin tllOSP Countries. He has had varied and interesting ex- * periences in carrying the Gospel to 3 the people of those :parts of the ^ world. A good number of beautiful r sildes will be shown to the public, many of them being photographs ta- ? ken by himself. Mr. Allen is an able speaker and comes among the people of Bamberg to tell of the advance A of the work of missions and how the evangelizing of the world in this gen- = eration is progressing. For the rest of the week, Mr. Haynes will speak, e His subjects will be: Tuesday, "*The ^ j Rich Man and Lazarus;" Wednesl day, "Eight Reasons for Keeping ^ Sunday;" Thursday, "The New Ref- ^ ormation;" Friday, "The Six Seals of Revelation 8th Chapter;" Sunday, T "The Great Seal of Jehovak."?Con- ? i] tributed. 2 A Great Base ISall Game. The fats and leans played a game of base ball Friday at Rhoad park. Mayor Rentz umpired the game. He was unique for his extraordinary decisions; for instance, he called the side out when the first man up struck out, but he came prepared?he was armed with an old army rifle, supposed to be loaded with slugs, rusty, nails and other death dealing missiles. Col. Klauber maintained his reputation for "high balls;" he claims tnat ne struck out ntteen, Marion Rhoad says he struck out ten. It was impossible to get an authentic record of the game. Each claims to have won. Shortly after the game started it commenced to rain. Did * they stop? They did not, for this was the first opportunity that some of the players ever had and they would have played through a hail storm. "Big .Mack" got a run and two safe hits. After repeated efforts Glenn Cope got a base hit. The ball got lost in every inning, which gave the players a chance to rest after their strenuous efforts. Finally, after an unknown number of inning. ...^ impire realized that it was abou ime to quit, and called the game ended. However, a tidy sum was realized for the Red Cross and a large crowd was greatly amused. Hampton Beats Fairfax. Hampton, July 12.?In a deciding game of a series of three, the Hampton baseball team defeated Fairfax . - at Fairfax yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 to 3. Batteries: Fairfax, Barker and Able; Hampton, Parnell and Rivers. It is peculiar that in all the games between these rival teams the score was 4 to 3. Fairfax won the first I at Fairfax in eleven innings by this score, and Hampton the last two by the same score. By this victory, Hampton claims the championship of this section of South Carolina. The team left this J* morning for Orangeburg to play the strong nine at that point. Coal is Dear in France. :v? A housewife in Paris cannot buy a 50 pound sack of coal at any price, but large consumers have been obtaining it in lots of from two to ten tons at $75 a ton. This situation was disclosed in the debate in the chamber of deputies on the economic situation. It is attributed to facilities afforded for speculation by the licenses through which the government hoped to regulate the traffic. The licenses acquired at once a trading value that was put to profit by people who had never even had anything to do with the coal trade. Dressmakers, lawyers, society men, commission merchants of all kinds, dealt in these licenses, each one taking as big a profit as he could get in passing it to the next buyer. Maurice Violette, minister of provisions, cited a typical case. The price of coal originally bought at ' $36 a ton went to $76 a ton by passing through the hands of six inter mediaries, none of whom had any:hing to do with the coal business > before this license was issued. M. Brunet, deputy from Paris, citid a consumer who was able to buy ;en tons of coal, a five years' supply, vhile tenanats of the same building ;ould not obtain enough to cook a neal and were obliged to use gas. 'These facts have so impressed the j )ublic," said M. Brunet, "that peo)le of very moderate ideas have dedared to the authorities that if the situation continues it means revolu- A ion." The minister of provisions has decided to issue no licenses to importers who were not regular dealers beore the war, and proposes a law punshing speculation in coal by fines tna imprisonment. Trading has gone on not only in mportation licenses but in options or the purchase of ships. One con:ern pretending to have options on : !0 vessels was asked for a statement >f its affairs. Its real capital was ound to be $80. The minister de- p lared that this traffic had been stopied. The rate of coal importation which lad improved in January, February * md March, has been affected by the ubmarine campaign and gone down o 300,000 tons a month below last ear's figures.
