Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. * Several new buildings and improvements and clianges to old ones, including business houses and residences, are under way in Bamberg at present. large crowd, both white and negroes, attended the negro performance, O'Brien's Georgia minstrels, a traveling tent show, which exhibited 'here Tuesday nght. Frank Bay Wade, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Wade, of 34 Amherst street, Charleston, died Friday evening at the home of his parents. The funeral and interment took place Sunday at Denmark. News was received in the city this week of the death of Mr. W. Fred Bamberg, of Valdosta, Ga., a son of the late James D. Bamberg. He died at his home in Valdosta* on Saturday, Dec. 1st. Mr. Bamberg had many relatives in this section, who will learn with sorrow of his death. Monday and Tuesday of this week were apparently two of the busiest days seen in Bamberg in a long while and all day long the streets reminded one of a Saturday afternoon. The merchants generally report a splendid business, and those who came in to town seem to have had the cash. The secretary of State has issued a commission to the H. C. Folk company of Bamberg, to conduct a general mercantile and supply business. The proposed capital stock of the concern is $16,000, and the commissioners are: H. C. Folk, M. E. Folk, T-r T W TTrtllr nil of I Jtl. i\. r um auu u. > . v?v, ? this place. Mr. S. A. Hand had delivered to him at Cordova last week a solid car load of fruit and ornamental trees, which he had sold to the people of that section. This is said to to be the first solid car of trees ever delivered in this section, and the people of the lower part of Orangeburg: evidently intend to produce fruit. Many fireworks, toys and other} decorations are being displayed this week in the show windows along Main street, all of which reminds us that ine unrisimas season is iasi approaching and will soon be upon us. We predict a remarkable business between now and the holidays, and our merchants who advertise will be startled at their enormous sales. Death of Mr. L. 15. Sandifer. r Mr. L. B. Sandifer, a well known farmer, died at his home between Bamberg and Denmark last Saturday after having suffered a stroke of pa- 1 ralysis the day before which caused bis death. Mr. Sandifer was a member of the Baptist church, was a life* long citizen of Bamberg county, was well liked and had any number of friends who were grieved to learn of his sudden death. Several years ago he suffered a first stroke of paralysis and had not enjoyed the best pf health since. The funeral and interment took place Sunday at the Spring Branch church several miles below Bamberg, being conducted by the Rev. George P. White, pastor of the local Baptist church. The deceased was 62 years ( old, and left surviving him his wife, who was Miss Margaret Crider, and the following named five children: James Sandifer, Willie Sandifer, Eugene Sandifer and Miss Evelyn San- ( dffer, all of Bamberg county, and Mrs. Blake, of trie Cope secton of - - ?- * 11 - ?

Party Goes to Detroit. , Eight men left Bamberg Tuesday | morning for a long journey and a novel experience. Most of them are young men and practically all are Bamberg residents. The crowd went by automobiles from here to Orangeburg,, where they boarded the Carolina special for Cincinnati, and from there they go to Detroit. Freight traffic is so congested throughout the country that it is more than difficult to get anything shipped by rail, and the object of those making the trip ! is to go direct to the factory in Detroit of a well known automobile and obtain eight cars, each one of the men driving a car home through the country. The cars will be delivered to a local dealer. This is the only way that the cars could be obtained in 'any reasonable time, and the Bamberg men will be joined by others who will make up a party of 23 from this section, each going to drive back a car. It will be a great trip for most of them and if the weather is not too severe they should enjoy themselves to the fullest and no doubt experience some interesting happenings. They expect to arrive back here in from two to three weeks. Those who went from here are: Messrs. D. W. Phillips, J. J. Heard, D. P. Matheny, Eddie Jackson, Bryan Rutland, R. L. Beard, Copeland Zeigler, and Willie Ott McCue. Honor Roll Bamberg Schools.

The girls af the Bamberg high c school basket ball team went to Char- ? leston last Saturday for a game with * the young ladies of the Memminger school. The local team lost' by a decisive score, but jonly after a hard game, and were very favorably com- i mented upon for their gameness. The j final score was 45 t"? 18, but when s it is taken into consideration that ? the Memminger school probably has r the finest girls' basket ball team in t the State, it will probably be realized j do tti linror crirla HiH well The It mat inu uauiugi^ giiiu v?*v* " w...

Monday being the first Monday j ind salesday numbers of people came o town for the event, and the streets lad the appearance of a Saturday ifternoon! Several important sales , >f real estate were made, six differ- ( snt tracts of farm lands being sold j )y tne proDaie juage auuiig as mats- 7 er. Most of the sales were occas- ^ oned by partition suits, the heirs to c he property wishing the estates*set- j led up in full. ^ rj The first sale grew out of the case j >f Mrs. E. E. Platts, et al., vs. Meta r Bell Lightsey, et al., and included 81 r teres of land which was sold to J. ^ <\ Hiers for $3,600. 5 A tract of 50 acres of swamp land c vas also sold under an order of the t :ourt in the above mentioned case t md brought $125, A.

I f The Carlisle foot ball team closed ? ts season on Thanksgiving day, play- r ng against the Darlington high r ichool at Darlington. This game re- e iulted in a tie score, 0 to 0, and the c eports indicate that it was one of f :he finest and hardest fought games f >layed in Darlington in a long while, j )arlington is known to have one of f s he best high school teams in the f 3ee Dee section of the State and has a in excellent record for the season, t The Carlisle boys have made wonder- h 'ul strides in foot ball since Coach v tfajor took charge of them Jhe first p >f the school year, and the team that f inished the season had rounded into i good machine for so little experence. In the Darlington game Tur- j lipseed, Gibson, Luther and Emman- i lei all played fine ball for Carlisle, j t f Carlisle is fortunate enough to ream Coach Major for next year and ie can have some of these boys back rom which to build his 1918 eleven s he local school should be on the i !oot ball map good and strong. f SPREADS.

Jamberg's most attractive young la- ] lies,' and is the youngfest daughter j if Col. and Mrs. John F. Folk, of' his city. She first attended Colum- j ?ia college, and later graduated from : Converse.

Smith, of Rome Ga., Tells of Bad Stomach Condition and What Vitona Did For Him i ! - -V: ->'*'$3 Home folks?neighbors?are most ^ frequently the peopfd who know and are willing to tell the world about t ^ the benefits derived from a medicine originated in their midst. When' ^ they speak in the highest praise of 1 the tremendous help a medicine is yt to them, declaring that they wonld (not be without it in their homes under any circumstances and do this without any pecuniary reward, yea j can aways place absolute upon such 1 statements. Here, for instance, is a i statement from Norris NN. Smith. |He is a well known real estate man | of Rome, Georgia, from right near I which city the mineral is found from | which Vitona is made. Here is what Mr. Smith said: "For sometime I had suffered from < a general run-down condition. I had a bad stomach trouble of some kind, and could eat and retain but little solid food. Frequently after a trifiol avon tVir>li crVi T wnnld Aflt VM*V ' V? VU VAAVUQ4A A >> W lightly, I would be sick on; my stomach, and in a short time would ! lose what I had eaten. I began using Vitona because I had heard of its good effects and I was told that it i would give me relief. With one week's time, after taking as directed, I began to show a steady improvement, and in a short time was ak- . ^ solutely cured. I feel entirely well now, and contribute my condition to Vitona. I would not be without it ^ in my house under any circumstances."
