She contracted pneumonia following Spanish influXC enza, and death followed: The remains were interred' at the Kearse burial ground Tuesday. ? Only one arrest was made for i drunkenness up to Christmas day in /'/ Bamberg. This is rather a remarkable record, for which the people can thank the absence of the dispensary system. Considering the season of the year, very little 'bottled goods were received here throtigh the ex press office, and those wno aid get their quarts evidently prized it too highly to "throw a drunk," thereby parting company with the precious ? liquid too quickly. A very quiet Christmas was spent in Bamberg this year. Many of the people betook themselves to the woods and fields for an enjoyable hunt, while others loafed daring the day taking a rest. There was a noticeable depreciation in the usual amount of noise heard at Christmas times, and this was due to the inability of the people to buy fireworks. Very few fireworks were on sale in the city, and those who had some had no difficult in' setting out days before Christmas. Real Estate Transfers.

The remains were brought to Bam. berg for interment, which took place at the Southend cemetery Saturday morning. Rev. Geo. P. White, pastor t of the Baptist church, conducted the funeral service at t^he grave. There , were a large number of relatives and friends at the grave to pay their last tribute to one whom they loved so t well. The grave was covered with l beautiful flowers, in rememberance of the departed spirit. 1 Miss Adams had been teaching school in Colleton county, and about t two weeks before her death she was * * * ai stricken with an attacK or appenoi, citis. She was operated on at the hosJpital, but a few days afterward she contracted pneumonia, and all that , medical skill could do could not stay - the hand of the grim reaper. Miss Adams was 24 years of age. ) She was the daughter of Mr. Henry t W. Adams, of this city, and was greatly admired by her numerous friends , for her lovable and genial disposition, r She was a member of the Bamberg Baptist church. She ) is survived by her father; two I brothers, Mr. Willie Adams, of Texas, and Mr. Frank B. Adams, who is now - serving his country in France; and the i following sisters: Mrs. J. J. Smoak and Miss Rosa Adams, of this city, i and Mrs. T. L. Clary, of Columbia. , The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to the bereaved - relatives. Death of Mr. F. W. McMillan. , Mr. F. W. McMillan, a prominent farmer of the Colston section of the ' - * J J -3 4 nln/tn t COUllty, was IOUiia ueau uii uis yiavc r on Tuesday morning of last week. It appears that about two o'clock on I Tuesday morning, Mr. McMillan got up and went to his store near his , residence, for some purpose, and his - dead body was found in the store the next morning, he having died some ; time during the early morning. The remains were interred Tuesday afternoon at the McMillan burial ground, in the Colston settlement. Mr. McMillan was widely known and connected throughout the coun3 ty, and the news of his sudden death r was quite a shock to his many friends. He was a man of a very , jolly and genial disposition, and always had a pleasant word for those t he met. , Ott-Dnkes. Miss Lucile Ott, of Branchville, and Mr. L. S.

I The epidemic of Spanish influenza appears to be again on the wane throughout the county. There have been but two or three new cases of 'f the disease in Bamberg recently, and ) reports from Ehrhardt and Olar, where the epidemic has been quite ! severe recently, are to the effect that 1 no new cases have recently developed. It appears that in certain sections j the epidemic is in a light form. The . State board of health has issued a statement that it will not be necessary to close schools longer, as the disease now appears in a very light form, and that very few cases of jr pneumonia are now developing. Declares Nice Dividend. ? 1 A meeting of the directors of the I Peoples Bank was held in the offices I of the bank last week.

Chandler are delighted to see tl him out again after an illness of several weeks. Two Accused of Same Killing. Paul Jenkins and Edison Williams are in the Bamberg jail charged with the killing of Henry Williams on December 27th, on the plantation of Mrs. G. E. Hutto a few miles from Bamberg. It appears that there is some uncertainty as to which one of the negroes did the killing, and the coroner therefore, had both men committed for the crime. An inquest was held over the body of Henry Williams by the coroner, but it does not appear that any witnesses were examined, other than the examining physician, Dr. Robert Black, who testified as to the wound found on the(/dead man's body. The wound was made with a thirty-eight calibre pistol ball which entered near the left hip and passing into the abdominal cavity perforated the intestines, which produced death. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Williams came to his death frnm a Distol shot wound at the hands of either > Paul Jenkins or Edison Williams. A warrant was swom out by Coroner Zeigler and the two men were arrested and placed in jail to be held for trial. Lands Five for Gambling. Chief of Police Myers has made an auspicious beginning as chief. Christmas eve night he succeeded in arresting single handed five negroes for gambling. The chief caught wind of a little party cut on the surburbs and straightway meandered out that way to take a look in. What he saw convince him of the need of immediate action, and he proceeded to enter the house, wherein sat five dusky sports shooting crap. The chief turned his light artillery on the bunch, and gave the signal for hands up, and hands went up, and stayed up until he had marched the crew up to Mayor Rentz's home and made legal disposition of the crowd. The mayor assessed each one ten dollars, and the chief confiscated all the emoluments of the game found on the premises, aggregating some fifty dollars in money and paraphernalia. Those who were so unfortunate as to look down the chief's quick action forty-four were: David Johnson, Wesley Adams, Frank Dial, James Bartle^ and Hank Vdins. LETTER FROM PRIV. F. B. ADAMS, Tells of His Experience at the Front In Argonne Drive. This following interesting lettei from Private F. B. Adams, who is now stationed at Vittel, France, tc his father, Mr. H. W. Adams, has been handed to us for publication: "Vittel, France, Nov. 24, 1918 "Dear Dad:?I am getting aloni fine, guess you all are too. ; "Don't suppose you thought I would ever see the front, but I did. I landed in Brest when I came across, and stayed there four days, and then weni down below Bordeaux, and was there a week, then I went straight to the front. In two days after I got there the last big drive began. Of ctfurse 1 didn't sleep much the first night, but I soon got u^ed to it. We were camping in the Argonne forest when the ? 1 ? ^1*4 f Vit*aA Aotrc drive oegail. Ill UUUUl lui^c ua;< after the drive started you couldn't find a Hun anywhere around. We went about thirty kilometers the next two days but wasn't able to overtake any. The last night I was at the front, things sure were lively. The fireworks were very pretty, but 1 couldn't enjoy looking at them at all when those big shells were dropping all around me and the bombing planes above my head. So I went tc a barn near us, and took a nap, and the next morning I had the mumps so I had to go way back to a hospital, where I am at present. I only have a few days more before I will be out We don't do anything but sit around the stove and read the newspapers. "The Red Cross sure is well represented over here. You can see them stationed all the way to the front They sure do treat us fine. "It hasn't been very cold here yet We had a little snow one night. You can look out every morning and see a hfsr frost "I am about one hundred and fiftj miles from Paris. Would like to see It before I leave but don't suppose 1 will get a chance.

The weather on Xmas eve morning looked as if Santa would not be able to make his rounds, but the rain ceased about midday and, my! didn't the people come to town, with plenty of money. The high prices did not bar the purchases and all the stores did a good business. They did not have one-half the toys needed for the day's trade. Christmas day passed as any Sunday does. All work was suspended, stores closed, postoffice observed Sunday hours. Presents were i exchanged, visitors came and went and so the day passed. With Christ mas gone we are now making resolutions for the new year?to be broken, of course. Miss Marguerite Fickling and Mr. Harry Ehrhardt were married last Wednesday evening at the Lutheran i parsonage, Rev. P. D. Risinger performing the ceremony. Mr. L. C. McKenzie, of Charleston, came up to visit his old friend, Mr. i Henry Ehrhardt, and see his daughter, Mena, who resides at Mr. Ehrhardt's. "Mac" was looking fine and giving the same old hand shake and smile. Mr. and Mrs. tt. u. nice ana lime son, Herman, of Holly Hill, visited relatives, in town during the holi1 days. Dick is a "crack" gamester, and we were looking forward for that 1 usual feed of birds, but his time was - limited and he had to disappoint us this time. Mr. and Mrs. 0. A. Speights, of ' Hendersonville, visited at the home of Mr. W. B. Moore last Sunday. They were en route to their home 1 from Bamberg, where they had been 1 to carry their two eldest sons to en ter Carlisle school. One day last week Mr. John E. ! Carter, of near town, had his atten! tion attracted by an unusual singi ing and cackling about egg laying ' time with the hens. 1 He went out to see what all this "hen singing" was ' for and he noticed that the old bird that was leading the choir would not ? leave her nest very far and upon looking jn her egg depository found . one of t6e largest hen eggs that have i ever been seen in this part of the world. He brought it to town Saturday and was showing it arohnd. The egg measured in circumference 6 1-2 inches} one way and 7 3.-4 inch ' es the long way, and tipped the scales at one-fourth pound. Messrs. Dick Roberts and Geath Moore, accompanied by their friend, Mt. Paclgett from Walterboro, motored up to Williston Thursday evening and attended the annual ball.

Hinnant is the assistant cashier. Noi other changes | were made in the personnel of the bank's officers. Killed Rare Species of Owl. i _______ Mr. J. A. J. Rice on Monday killed an owl, the species of which had nev er been seen here before. While 1 hunting he saw the bird fly up from i a grass plot and succeed in killing it. The owl is decidedly the most beautiful specimen of the owl fam* ily seen in this section. It was perfectly white on the under part of the body, while the wings and back were r a light buff, splotched with patches * of grey, resembling the grey of an ordinary guinea. The bird also dif? fered from the ordinary owl, in that the eyes were small, and the feather ing about the head was also different. The bird was evidently a young one, and though about two feet from tip to tip of wing, weighed only about a pound. Mr. Rice says he will present the specimen to the museum in Charleston to be mounted by a taxidermist. No one who saw it had ever seen one like fc before. ^ ?
