The partnership between himself and
W. E. Free, Esq., one of the leading
law firms in this part of the State,
has been dissolved, and Mr. Free
is opening an office in the rooms over

Mr. Mayfield has been a prominent
figure in the affairs of Bamberg county

He has been closely identified with
the political, industrial, and legal
activities of the county for many
years, and it is with sincere regret to
his many friends and acquaintances
that he is leaving this section. It
is understood that Mr. Mayfield is
connected with a most promising
proposition, and his friends wish
him much success.
Has Distinguished Himself

service performed by Lieut.
Smith to gain him this praise has
not been learned.- His relatives in
the county heard from him about two
weeks ago, but no inkling was given
as to any acts of heroism on his part.
His many friends throughout the
county will be interested to learn
that he is making good their predictions
concerning Kim. Lieut.
Smith is a mem' ^r of an ambulance
corps and sailed for service in France
several weeks ago.

A resolution, previously adopted by
3 Bamberg central club, was offered
by J. F. Carter, Esq>, on behalf of
the Bamberg delegation, and adopted,
as follows:
Whereas the United States of
America, for the protection of national
honor, a free people and a world
democracy, is now engaged in a world
war, forced upon us by the kaiser
and his followers for an evil and
sinister purpose, and
Whereas it behooves all patriotic
and freedom loving citizens, in this
trying hour to show their colors,
and not only do their bit, but their
orAvnrnniCknf fhof ohiolHc '

and protects their homes, lives and
property, and to defend the flag that
has never trailed in the dust, and
the country that our forefathers
builded with their blood:
Be it resolved, that the Bamberg
county democrats, in convention assembled,
unreservedly endorse the
course of President Woodrovv Wilson,
especially in asking congress to declare
that a state of war existed between
this country and Germany, and
his war policies since this declaration;
that believing that this is a
righteous war, we favor its vigorous
prosecution unto complete and democratic
victory, and we look with suspicion
upon any so-called Democrat
who is opposed to the course of our
president in connection with this war,
and any who are not loyally supporting
our government in the present
crisis of the nation.
That we cordially approve the
stand of our senators and representatives
in congress who voted for
the declaration of war and who since
that time have unstintedly and loyally
supported the efforts of the president
in the prosecution of the same.
That these resolutions be presentad
to the Democratic State convention
of South Carolina by the delegates
from this county.
The following resolution, offered
by J. K. Mavfield, was adopted:
A resolution passed unanimously
t>y the Denmark Democratic club requesting
that the county convention
discuss and adopt it:
Whereas, prohibition has depleted
the county chain gang until it is is
ao longer able to build and maintain
:he roads of Bamberg county. We
call upon and instruct our legislative
delegation to devise adequate ways
md means to this end.
Mr. J. B. Guess, Sr., offered the
following resolution, which was
adopted:
Be it resolved that the Democratic
convention of Bamberg county instruct
its delegates to the State contention
to introduce and support a
resolution in the State convention
nemoralizing the general assembly,
at its next regular session, to submit
in amendment to the constitution of
;he State to the people changing the
:ime of the meeting of the general
assembly to some time in the sumner.
Mr. A. L. Kirkland offered a resolution
expressing thanks of the contention
to Mr. H. C. Folk, as follows,
which was adopted:
Whereas, the Hon. H. C. Folk has
served as the chairman of the Democratic
party for Bamberg county from
ts creation;
whereas, he has ever been a fair,
mpartial, attentive and most efficient
officer in the discharge of his
iuties, and
Whereas, he now declines to serve
'urther in such capacity:
Therefore, be it resolved by this
)ody in convention assembled:
1. That we, as representing the
Democratic voters of Bamberg coun;v,
express to him the thanks and
nost sincere appreciation of the peonf
Bamberg: county for the pains
aking, laborious and most efficient |
service he has so ably rendered; that I
ve assure him that his duties as
such public servant have been discharged
to the entire satisfaction
)f all our people; and that this contention
deeply regrets the loss of
lis wise counsel and service as the
lead of the Democracy of Bamberg
county.
2. That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this contention,
and be published in one of
;he Bamberg county papers.
Mr. S. S. Williams, of Govan, offered
a resolution endorsing the
candidacy of Hon. B. R. Tillman,
senator from South Carolina. The
resolution was adopted, and follows;
Whereas, the Hon. B. R. Tillman
las served the Democracy of South
Carolina and of America in the United
States senate with signal distinc
lion to nimseii anu me otait; ui ouum |
Carolina; and*
Whereas, he has e\er been loyal
to his party and to America, and has
3ver upheld the hands of our great
president in the present emergency;
and
Whereas, by reason of his long service
he has attained great influence
in congress and is now chairman of
the powerful committee on naval affairs;
and
Whereas, his conduct of said committee
has been distinguished by
marked ability as evidenced by the
preparedness of the navy in the beginning
of this war, and that the
world as well as our State would be
the loser should he not be returned
to the United states Senate at the
next election;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
Democratic convention of Bamberg
county,' now assembled, do hereby
endorse the said R. R. Tillman for reelection
to the United States senate.
The following resolution was offered
by Messrs. J. Wesley Drum, Jr..
D. P. Smith and A. L. Kirkland, and
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Hon. R. W. D. Rowell.
who died during the past year,
has served the Demc-rratic party with
distinction a number of years as a
newspaper editor, as secretary and
treasurer of the Bamberg county executive
committee, as secretary of
the Bamberg county convention and
as editor and superintendent of education
of the county.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by

Little Daughter of Dr. E. O. Watson
Victim of Accident.
The many friends in Bamberg of
the family of Dr. E. 0. Watson were
shocked last week to learn of the
accidental death of little Mary West
Watson, nine year old daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. E. 0. Watson, in Columbit.
The little girl is remembered by
a large number of friends in this
city, she having lived here until Dr.
Watson left for Columbia a few
months ago to enter army work at
Camp Jackson. The following clipping
from the Columbia State will be
of interest to the many friends of the
family throughout the county:
Mary West Watson, nine-year old
daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. E. O.
Watson, died at the Columbia hospit
al early yesterday trom injuries sustained
when the bicycle on which
she was riding collided with a motorcycle.
Dr. Watson, who represents
his denomination at Camp Jackson,
was in Atlanta attending the meetings
of the 18th quadrennial conference
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, at the time of the accident
last Thursday afternoon, and

early train this morning.
William Owen, eight-year old son
of the Rev. W. C. Owen, field Sunday
school secretary for the South Carolina
conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, was on the bicycle
with the little girl in front of him.
Just after rounding a curve on the
Winnsboro road at College Place,
near their homes, the bicycle ran into
a motorcycle, driven by J. W. Wilkinson,
teller at the Palmetto National
Bank. The boy was only slightly
hurt. The little girl was rushed to
the Baptist hospital where she died
early yesterday. Mr. Wilkinson also
received slight bruises.
Immediately after the death of the
little girl yesterday, Mr. Wilkinson

Council of Defense Meets.
The regular monthly meeting of
the county council of defense was
held at the court house Monday afternoon
at 3:30, about 22 members being
in attendance. The chairman
read a communication from the State
council charging the county council
with the duty of investigating and
reporting to the State council any
acts or utterances of a disloyal or
unpatriotic nature.
Quite a lively discussion arose over
alleged unpatriotic articles said to
have been printed in a newspaper in
the county, which has since been discontinued.
The matter was brought
to the attention of the council by
members of the Denmark council,

Young Men Enter Army.
Last week and this week six splendid
young men entered the national
army from Bamberg county under the
selective draft. Two men were sent
Tuesday morning to Camp Sevier,
and four men were sent to Fort Screven
last week.
Those leaving Tuesday for Sevier
TYPrA* R_ H. Hoff and A. S. Barker.
Mr. Hoff is a Denmark boy, but for
some time past has been located at
Ridgeville. Mr. Barker come from
the Olar section. Neither of these
young men entered any claims for
exemption or deferred classification.
Last week R. P. Bellinger, of Bamberg;
W. H. Hightower, of Denmark;
J. A. McMillan, of Bamberg, and G.
F. McMillan, Jr., of Ehrhardt, left
for Fort Screven, near Savannah.
This is an excellent bunch of young
men, and no doubts are expressed
but that they will show up well in
the service. Mr. Bellinger is a prominent
young attorney of the Bamberg
bar; Mr. J. A. McMillan is a
popular salesman of this city; Mr.

Liberty Supper at Oak Grove.
Friday evening, May 3rd, was an
occasion of much success in the form
of a "Liberty-Hen-Fish Supper" at
Oak Grove school house.
Some days ago Rev. C. S. Felder
was asked to talk to the school on
Thrift Stamps. He exhorted the children
to bnv stamps and suggested
tne supper as a means to a stamp or
bond encl. The ladies took the matter
up with much energy at a meet
ing called by the principal.
There was no special arrangement (
and less system about the supper, but 1
two things were in evidence: plenty ^
of eatables and many to eat. . j
Rev. Felder made a few stirring 1
remarks on war principles and bonds. '
Mr. Felder is indeed great in his
unstinted patriotic support (by word
Wilson?The Greatest Living Man.
The supper consisted ofa fish table,
a hen table, a coffee table, an ice
cream table, a cake table, and bread.
Oh my sake! Good old home-made
bread without meal or glass. (This
meal and glass business is developing
the home bakery. Great!)
Two special cakes were decorated *
by home talent. It was hard to say
which was the more beautiful. Each
grand. The Liberty Bond cake being
decorated in national colors, "Old
Glory," and "Liberty Bond," of
course, attracted most attention in
war times. D. P. Smith held the
lucky number for this cake. He gave
it to be resold at auction. It totaled
around $37.00. We understand that
Mr. Max Walker, who bought this
cake has given it to the Red Cross.
Surely it will do its bit.
Cakes, hens, bread, etc., were auc- S
tioned to advantage. One and all
who were present deserve to be commended
for interest and patriotism.'
For without the presence, interest ^
and liberality of the surrounding
communities and others we could not
have had so much success. We thank
every one.
Proceeds go to buy liberty bonds.
Gross proceeds was around $148.00,
with about $18.00 expenses. The
school has applied for three bonds.?
