SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
The Woman's Missionary society of
the Methodist church will meet next
Tuesday afternoon at the church at
4:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Isham Goodwin received a
card on the 6th inst from her son,
J. Leighton Kinard, advising her of
his safe arrival overseas. Mrs.
, Ogretta Beard also received a card
from her son, Geo. C. Beard, stating
that he had arrived safely with the
overseas forces.
Most welcome rains fell in this
county Saturday and Sunday. While
some parts of the county have been
visited by rains recently, there had
- been no rain to amount to much in
the city for about four weeks, and it
was extremely dry. The crops have
suffered considerably from lack of
rain in this vicinity.
Up to Saturday night there had
been sold on the Bamoerg marsec
and shipped from this point more
than 2,500 bales of the 1918 crop of
cotton. This is far in excess of the
number marketed to this same date
last year, due to the crop being harvested
considerably earlier this sea,
son. About 1,500 bales were weighed
at this market during August.
The bureau of crop estimates has
estimated the condition of the cotton
crop in Bamberg county as 69,
* against 8~4 on July 25th. Estimates
for other counties near Bamberg are
as follows: Aiken, 71 against 82;
Barnwell 68 against 83; Colleton, 67
against 82; Hampton,' 69 against 83;
Orangeburg, 68 against 84. The average
condition in this State is placed
at 67 against SO a month ago.
Mr. J. F. Jennings has moved into
the residence formerly occupied by
^Mr. A. W. Knight, which he recently
Durchased from Mrs. M. A. Bam
berg. Mr. Knight and family have
moved into Mrs. Garland's residence
on Railroad avenue. Mrs. Garland
leaves soon for Coker college, where
she has accepted a position as matron.
The residence vacated by Mr.
Jennings is now occupied by Mrs
W. G. Hutto and family.
Mr. W. M. McCue has sold his
farm near Bamberg to Mr. W. B.
Smoak, and Mr. McCue has purchased
a farm near McCormick. He and
. his family expect to move to their
new home about the first of the year.
Mr. McCue's farm here is one of the
finest in this seotion. He bought
this place about ten years ago, paying
$15 per acre for it. The land
was wonderfully developed, and it is
understood that Mr. McCue received
a very attractive price for the plantation.
\.
, The request on the part of the
part of the fuel administration that
people abstain from riding in automobiles
on Sunday as far as possible
was adhered to rather strictly in
Bamberg last Sunday. Very few
cars were seen on the streets, and
- * - ? i-J
most or tnese were ocuuyieu uy uv?ored
people. It would be veil for
the colored leaders to remind their
friends that to aid the government
they should leave their cars at home
on Sunday, so far as pleasure riding
is concerned.
Mr. M. G. Cooner is now a full
fledged U. S. A. soldier. Mr. Cooner
was recently called as a class one
man, but failed to pass the physical
examination at the training camp,
and was discharged. Later the was
placed in the limited service class,
and a few days ago he was called to
the service again; this time as clerk
of the Local Board of this county.
Saturday he went up to Columbia
be inducted into the service, retiming
Tuesday morning togged out

Must Register Today.
Today (Thursday) is the day for
the big registration for military service.
Today all men between the
ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, must
register for service, unless they registered
at previous, registrations. It
has been estimated that the number
of men to register in this county
should approximate 2,300.
It has been arranged for persons
liable to registration to register at
various points in the county, as indicated
by the information listed below.
Persons may register at the
most convenient point, regardless of
their places of residence. For instance,
if a citizen of Ehrhardt happens
to be in Bamberg Thursday, he
may register here, and so on. The
following are the places of registration
and the registrars:

Elected Cotton Weigher.

The second primary election held
i Tuesday resulted in the election of
| W. H. Collins as county commission|
er for the upper district, and in the
election of Clarence B. Free as cotton
weigher at Bamberg. In the second
race for cotton weigher at Olar,
only one box had been reported up to
yesterday morning, and this race was
in doubt between Morris and Sellers.
J These were the only county contests
j that went into the second primary,

the preferences for attorney general
and railroad commissioner. In
I the race for commissioner of agricul-J
ture, Garrison led Harris in this
county. In the race for comptroller
general, none of the candidates were
known in the county, and dach received
a very good vote, with Osborne,
the appointee of Governor
Manning in the lead.
Full returns were received from
*
only ten boxes in the county. Partial
returns were received from two otb1
ers. It was stated yesterday, how!
ever, that none of the outstanding
I boxes would alter the result as noted
in the tabulation given today.
Many Go Into Class 1.
| The Local Board recently received
orders to make drastic changes, in
the classification of certain registrants.
The orders instruct the Local
Board to take all class two men,
who are married but have no children,
and put them in class one.
The same rules, of course, that have
heretofore applied, are still in effect;
II - ^ n? ?

exist on the allowance provided for,
this will be taken into consideration
in reclassifying, but as this is rather
vague and uncertain quantity, it
is not likely that it will serve as an
extenuating circumstance in very
many instances.
The new orders, it is stated, will
serve to replenish class one to a
large extent, and that many who
have heretofore been exempted on
the ground of having a dependent
wife, but who have no children, will
now be inducted into the service.
Bought $6,000 Worth of W. S. S.
The largest single sale of war savings
stamps was negotiated at the
postoffice Monday, when Mr. John H.
Cope handed in a check for $5,040.00,
in payment of $6,000.00
worth of W. S. S. for himself and five
members of his family. Mr. Cope
went the limit and bought every
stamp the government would sell
him, and seemed to be sorry he was
limited. These purchases were pledgor
Hitrinf*- thp .Tiinp pftmnaien and
this large purchase will go a long
way toward boosting the sales at
this postoffice for September. W. S.
S. sales have not increased as they
should, and unless more people buy
liberally from now on, the county is
going to fall far short of its allotment.
There remain only four more
months in which to buy stamps, and
the sales op to September 1 amounted
to% only $75,000.00. If we are
to meet our allotment, somebody will
have to buy about $300,000.00 worth
of stamps before January 1st.
Hollifield Returns to Bamberg.
The many friends of Mr. S. C. Hollifield
are delighted to see him at the
Southerns station again. Mr. Hollifield
was for several years Southern
agent in Bamberg. Last year he resigned
his position and went to Denmark,
where he was connected with
the American Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Co. Mr. Hollifield was in the

he was given limited service classification.
Last week he was summoned
up to be inducted into the service,
and left Saturday for his post of
duty. However, before he reached his
destination orders had been sent out
for him to report in Bamberg and
take up the duties as Southern railway
agent here.
Mr. Hollifield made himself very,
popular with the patrons of the Southern
in Bamberg during his service
here. His genial personality and his
courtesy and fair treatment made
him many friends, and they are glad
that he is to remain here. Mr. D. M.
Coe left this place some weeks ago,
and the Southern business has been
temporarily in charge of Mr. R. C.
Williams.
