SHORT LOCALS.
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

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,

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- (

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.

The local Red Cross chapter re- v
luests the families of all boys now
in the service of Uncle Sam, whether
drafted or volunteers, in the army or
navy to forward their names to the
Red Cross chapter at once, so that
Christmas packages may be sent to k
every one. It is very important for f
this to be done immediately, as the ^
time is now limited. It is the wish

Memminger Defeats Bamberg.
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

BAMBERG, S. C.
Several Sales Made Monday.
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

Carlisle Ties Darlington. 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

ler Quietly Married Thursday. 1
t
Probably the biggest surprise for j 1
i number of years in Bamberg social 1
:ircles was the marriage Thanksgiv- ?
ng evening of Miss Louise Folk to *
dr. Paul J. Zeigler. The marriage
vas a very quiet home affair, the j 1
:eremony being performed by the t
lev. E. O. Watson, D. D., pastor of J
rrinity Methodist church, at the! '
Lome of the bride on Railroad ave-1
me in this city. Only a few close j
elatives of the bride were present. | r
The most intimate friends of the j 1
roung couple were kept unawares j1
if their intentions, and the news of j J
he marriage did not leak out until
he ceremony had been completed.
The marriage of this popular; ij
oung couple will be of much inter- j j!
st throughout the State, as they are I j
ioth widely known and prominent j
ocially. Mrs. Zeigler was one of!
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. She has always made i
lamberg her home and has hundreds I
if friends here as well as college;
riends scattered over the State. Mr. I
leigler is a young man of sterling j
ualities and is well_ known in Bam-1
^erg, having frequently visited rel.tives
here. He is a graduate of the
Citadel in the class of 1913, where!
ie made many friends who will be |=
nterested to learn of his marriage, j
-fa id nHeinallv from Allendale, but i a
or the past few years has been engaged
in the United States govern- _
nent civil service work on the Isthnus
of Panama. Mr. Zeigler has f
iow enlisted in the aviation branch *
if the army, and will leave shortly
or a military camp to begin training I
or a commission as an aviator. < ^

:17 Southern train Thursday night *
or a short honeymoon to Atlanta, 11
ifter which they returned to Bam- ipre

Norris N. 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

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."
Not only in cases similar to Mr.
i Smith's, but in all cases of stomacfc,
! kidney, liver, catarrhal trouble, Vl-_
itona goes straight to the seat of
I affection.
