Last night a recital was given by the pupils of the mtisic department. \ Mr. X. P. Smoak, Jr., is among the graduates of WofFord college the present term. The commencement ^ exercises of Wofford are being held in Spartanburg this week. , The war camp community service of Columbia advises The Herald of v the discharge from the army of the following: Carlyle Willis, Bamberg; Fred Nix, Denmark; Lonnie Draper, Bamberg. The master made one sale Monday, that of the case of Folk versus Ehrhardt. This tract of land measures four acres and is located in the town of Ehrhardt. There were several bidflers for the property, which bought $1,900 and was bid in by Messrs. F. K. Graham and W. H. Ritter. Mr. J. Skottowe Wannamaker, irman nf the South Carolina Cot ton association, has appointed Mr. C. W. Rentz, Sr., of this city, as a delegate to the world cotton conference, to be held in New Orleans October 13 to 16. Mr. W. I. Johns, of Baldock, has also beeen appointed a delegate to the conference. Lieut. G. D. Ryan, who has been discharged from the army, is in the city. Lieutenant Ryan is preparing to go into the contracting business, and it is likely that he will have his -V headquarters in Bamberg. Before enlisting in the army he was superin^ tendent for the commissioners of public works of this city. The friends in Bamberg of Mrs. Eva Baggott Walter learned with genuine regret of her death in Charleston last Saturday. Mrs. Walter was a niece of Mrs. V. J. Hartzog, of this city, and spent many years of her . life here. Interment occurred in Magnolia cemetery, Charleston, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. x*-., J The Bamberg Insurance agency has been formed in this city, com- j posed of Messrs. LaVerne Thomas, C. W. Rentz, Jr., and A. M. Denbow. The agency has arranged to represent ' several large and responsible insur IV. ance companies, including all forms of insurance, life, accident and health, fire and automobile. The State highway commission announces that formal application has been filed by the Orangeburg county authorities for federal road aid for the purpose of building the Columbia to Savannah highway from the Calhoun line to the Bamberg county line, connecting with Bamberg's link of the highway at Edisto river at New bridge. The following news item appeared In the Columbia State a few days ago uader an Allendale date line: "Mr. W. I. Johns, of Allendale county, shipped 600 steers to Northern markets from here today, valued at about $100,000. Mr. Johns has previously shipped about the same number." Mr. Johns is the son of Mrs. M. L. Johns, of Bamberg. MUST HOLD DOWN SPEED. Sheriff Ray Says Speed Must Not Exceed Lawful 20 Miles. Here is bad news for drivers of automobiles. The sheriff has asked that the announcement be made that he is going to enforce the speed laws of the State in this county. This ^ means that hereafter any parties driving an automobile more than 20 miles per hour will be subject to arrest and prosecution under the State law. There has never been any real serious attempt to enforce this law here, or, for that matter, perhaps, anywhere in the State, but the sheriff states that speeding has be^-come a menace to the public, and he will, therefore, enforce the law. Of course, 20 miles per hour is rather a poor rate of speed on a good road, and perhaps there will be many who will not resist the temptation, but when such cases are reported to the sheriff, such parties will be brought to the bar of justice. The sheriff says he is not responsible for the law, and so long as there were very few flagrant violations, he did what the other officers- of the State do, but there have been many complaints of serious infractions of the law, and speeding is indulged in so freely that it has become a real danger to the traveling public. In fact, speeding at 40 and 50 miles per hour is said not to be very infrequent occurrences, and the sheriff says this speeding must stop. CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR. Commencement E\erc>es of Carlisle School Held Saturday to Monday. Carlisle school closed the most successful year in its history Monday night, when the last of the commencement exercises were held in the school auditorium. The annual commencement address was delivered by Dr. John A. Rice, of Sumter. The students left for their various homes Tuesday morning. During the session just ended the school's enrollment reached -Jl. which was a large increase over me largest previous enrollment on record. A large number of visitors from various parts of the State were in the city to attend the closing exercises, which began on Saturday night. The annual debate between the two literary societies was held Saturday evening. The query was '"Resolved, That the government of the United States should adopt a policy requiring six months military training of all able-bodied men before they have reached the age of 21." The affirmative was championed by the Kilgo society, represented by Lieut. Harry Snyder and Sergt. Victor Burns, while the negative was defended by the Beach society, represented by Cadet T. B. Burns and Cadet Purlie Tompkins. The judges decided in favor of the negative arguments presented by the Beach society. Sunday morning at Trinity Method 1st church tiie annual oaccaiaureaie sermon was preached by the Rev. B. Rhett Turnipseed, of Greenwood. The subject of Mr. Turnipseed's discourse was "A Fallacy of Bigness,'' and was one of the strongest sermons heard in Bamberg in some time. Sunday evening Headmaster J. C. Guilds "delivered the baccalaureate address at Trinity church. Colonel Guilds's subject was "The Purpose of Educational Training for Service," in which he admonished the students that an education is not for the purpose of equipping a man to live without work, but that an education is to equip for service. Monday morning the first prize drill of the school was held at Rhoad park, and proved to be a most interesting and entertaining feature of the commencement this year, this being the first year of Carlisle as a unit of the R. O. T. C. The judges were Lieuts. E. H. Henderson, W. M. Brabham, Jr., and Paul Zeigler, all of whom have recently been discharged from army service. Company B won the saber for the best drilled company, the saber being presented,by Lieutenant Henderson. The colors were also presented to Company B for the next session. The gold medal offered for the best drilled cadet was won by Cadet Ernest Horne, of Batesburg, a member of Company B. The medal was presented by Rev. Mr. Turnipseed. After the prize drill an exhibition battalion drill was given, and the winning company marched through town carrying the colors. Monday evening the commencement address was delivered in the school auditorium by Dr. John A. ! Rice, who made a striking appeal to the young people to lead a big life. Dr. Rice made a profound impression on his hearers. Certificates of graduation in the commercial department were presented to Misses Emmadell Harlev, of Elloree, and Sara Hutto, of Vance, by the headmaster. The primary scholarship prize was won by Miss Mary Cleckley, whose average was 93, with Miss Nell Bamberg second with an average of 92. The scholarship medal was won by Miss Katherine Rhoad, whose average was 93 2-5. Cadet Arthur Graham secured honorable mention with an average of 90 3-5. The U. D. C. medal for the best essay on the subject, "Compare Causes of the Civil War and the World War," was won by Miss Lena Brigman. Cadet Travers Stroman won second place. The awarding of deportment stars, and the closing remarks by Rev. Petpr Stokes chairman of the board of control, concluded the exercises. ' N Woman Accused of Bigamy. Local police authorities were asked to locate and arrest Mrs. Mabel Zorn by the Bamberg county officials. She was apprehended and turned over to County Officer H. L. Millhouse. She is wanted in Denmark on a charge of bigamy. Her aliases are said to be Mrs. Mabel Strickland, Mrs. Mabel Bean and Mrs. Mabel Zorn.?News and Courier. The Francis Marion Bamberg chapter U. D. C. will meet with Mrs. J. J. Jones Tuesday afternoon, June 10, at 5:30 o'clock. A large attendance is requested, as this is the last meeting until September. Mr. A. A. Lemon has been appoint ed to represent Barnwell county on the commission to apportion the indebtedness of Barnwell and Hampton counties between the counties of Barnwell, Hampton and Allendale. WILL BUILD WAREHOUSE. Material Being Gathered for Tobacco Warehouse in This City. Mr. A. M. Den bow is preparing to build a large tobacco warehouse on a lot recently bought near the B., E. & W. railway station in this city. In fact, the material has all been purchased and a part of it is now on the ground, and the work of building *11 r. /% /\ i> AA1S> AM M ri /-. ft W -li ?UUll I'UliUllClllC. V-/I1 aiiuuui ui the lateness of the season. Mr. Denbow states that it will not be possible to complete the warehouse in time for use the present season, but that he has made arrangements with I one of the largest and most responsible tobacco firms of Timmonsville, a leading tobacco center in this State, to operate the warehouse next year. Mr. Denbow states that the warehouse will be so arranged that it may be used as a cotton warehouse as well as for tobacco. It is expected that a tobacco warehouse will do much to broaden tobacco raising in this section, and will induce the buyers to come to Bamberg, instead of having to ship the product to tobacco centers elsewhere in the State, as has heretofore been the custom. Sunday School Day Programme. For a number years past a pro gramme has been prepared and a Sunday in May has been observed as Childrens' day. That has been changed, and the first of a series of annual programmes for use on Sunday school day was observed at Trinity Methodist church May 21, with a large, attentive audience. The programme began with an instrumental solo by Miss Corinne Anderson. Mr. A. B. Utsey, the superintendent of the Sunday school, in a few words made plain the theme of the programme. The pastor, Rev. R. H. Jones, said whatever else it may do or leave undone, the Sunday school is bound to justify itself as an evangelistic agency; its forces may be well organized, its equipment may be of the finest, but if the Sunday school fails to bring its young people into personal relation with God through Jesus Christ', then it is an absolute failure. But there is no need for such failure. According to the latest reports there are 197,203 Protestant Sunday schools in America, and the member- . ship of these schools is 1,886,821 officers and teachers, and 17,236,227 pupils. The proportionate number of additions to Protestant church membership during the last four years, through all sources was 1,861.853 of this number 1,582,575 coming through the Sunday schools and the ages of those who became members were between the ages of 12 and 16. The church is largely dependent on the Sunday school for its future membership. The programme showed through tableaux, charts, short talks, and songs, how the Sunday school is doing the work-of educational evangelism. A tableaux was presented by Mrs. W. D. Rhoad, the superintendent of the cradle roll department. Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Folk and little baby, Robert Truesdale, showed how the home is linked with the Sunday school through the cradle roll. Miss Alma Black, who has worked so faithfully in the beginners' department, made a short, impressive talk. She said the little children under 6 who are called beginners in Sunday school, are beginners, in life also." They came to us for religious nurture and we recognize them for what they are. We do not force upon them adult thoughts in adult words. We think with them their childish thoughts in their own words. The aim of the Sunday school with these little children of four or five years of age is to lead them to the Heavenly Father by helping them to know God, who loves them, provides for them, and protects them. After Miss Black's talk the little beginners marched on the platform, and with their sweet little childish voices, entertained the audience with several selected songs. The beginners' department merges into the primary department, which embraces children of 6, 7 and S years of age, and -Miss Katherine Anderson, the teacher in charge, said that children of this age revel in wonder stories, and stories of real life in which simple heroic and dramatic elements are promi-" nent. Faith during this period is strong and it is easy to develop a proper childish attitude toward God as the loving Heavenly Father. The aim of the lessons taught in this department is to lead the child to know the Heavenly Father, and to inspire within him a desire to live as God's child. At the close of her talk little Dorothy Johnson told the story of the Baby Moses in her own sweet childish words. Mrs. Glenn Cope, in a few well-chosen words, gave the general characteristics of the junior period. The junior child is and must1 be more or less self-centered because this is a time when he must pay attention to himself and get himself adjusted to the world about him. The aim of the Sunday school is to help PREPARING TO PAVE STREET. Survey Being Made of Main Street. To Estimate Cost of Paving. Civil Engineer G. D. Ryan is now engaged in making a survey of Main street for the city council. Mr. Ryan began the work of the survey a day or two ago. When completed he will furnish "the council with an estimate of the cost of paving the street with brick or other paving material. This action is being taken preparatory to permanently improving the business portion of the street. The proposed paving will extend from the C1 ? 4 ? M/N il A /I am O*AV cf of I'AH OUUlliCl II ictlliuau ciai iUU to the cotton mill, which will cover the entire business section of town, with the exception of the side streets. The city clerk and treasurer is also engaged in ascertaining all indebtedness of the city, the amount of the outstanding bonds, etc. This information is necessary in order that the city can make arrangements to raise its portion of the proposed paving cost. Under the law which became of force in this city at the last election, the city will have the right to assess abutting property for the purpose of making permanent improvements to the extent of one-half of the cost. It is proposed not only to pave the street-permanently, but also to require the wiring on Main street to be put underground, provide new and attractive electric light poles. Bevis?"I've got a beastly cold in my head." Miss Whitty?"Never mind, Bevis. Don't grumble. Even if it's only a cold, it's something."?Tit-Bits. "I find the professor's statistics stupid." "I don't. He told me there were 400,000,000,000 people in .the world and I was the prettiest girl in the lot."?Stray Stories. The public is cordially invited to hear Misses Scarlett and Rea, missionaries to China, at the Baptist church next Sunday at 11 a. m. At 5 p. m. they will address an audience of ladies at the church, to which all the ladies are invited. the junior boy and girl to become lovers of the word and to lead them into conscious loyalty to Jesus Christ. The juniors all took part in demonstrating their department. Seven boys and girls with letters spelling the word "Juniors," recited a Bible verse beginning with the letter he or she carried. Evelyn Spann, Willie May Allen and Esther Dagnall recited the 121st Psalm in concert, after which the juniors all sang, "The Battle Front." The Intermediate Department.? Mrs. Jennings said the years of early adolescence are crucial years in the life of the individual. It is a period of changes and adjustments. Physically, intellectually, spiritually, it is the age of a new birth. The aim of the Sunday school at this period is to lead the pupil to the practical recognition of life so as to develop habits of Christian service. Several young girls made a striking picture as they formed a semi-circle on the platform facing the audience. One stepped to the front with a Christian flag mounted but unfurled and as the group gave the Christian flag salute; the flag was unfurled. Miss Steele, who has charge of the senior and young peoples' department, made a very impressive talk on "Service." It was very forcibly demonstrated when two young girls go forward dressed in white, wearing a blue sash over the shoulder diagonally to the waist, the sash bearing the words, "Spirit of Service." One states the world's needs, then both ^ive the call by singing, "Hark the Voice of Jesus Calling," as they sing, Who will answer? A group of girls go forward, and sing, "Here Am I, Send Me, Send Me." Col. J. C. Guilds made a few fitting remarks on the Adult Bible class, and Major Duncan made it plain that a teachers' training class is an,essential feature of the Sunday school. The home department was demonstarted by Miss Louise Wiggins (old iauj , j Mr. Carl Welsh (old man), and Miss Julia Price, the home department visitor. The old couple had been members of the Sunday school since they were barely able to walk. Now in their old age, they are not able to attend, but the Sunday school is brought to them by the home department. Thus it is the Sunday school takes care of the tiniest little baby down to old age. The programme was interspersed with beautiful and appropriate songs by the choir. The Sunday school is indebted to Major Duncan for the lovely floral decorations; to the teachers and superintendents of each department for the interest manifested in training the children and to Mr. A. B. Utsey, the superintendent, who at all times is untiring in his zeal in working for the advancement of the Sunday school.?Contributed. S. S. TRAINING SCHOOL. Will lie Held Here on June 10-17. Conference June 14-15. The South Carolina conference of the f.iothodist Episcopal Church, South, is putting on a programme of conference training schools that marks a decided step forward in the i Sunday school work of the conference. It has long been realized that untrained teachers were hindering t'.ie progress of the Sunday school work. And because of the tremendous importance of the right training of the children of today to meet the vast problems of reconstruction before the nation, the demand for conser>vntprl r-annble well-trained teach ers has become more insistent. But how to train men and women so they may go about their work in the Sunday school in the most efficient manner has been a problem before the church. Sunday school training schools have been established for some years, but these have been few in number, and many of the most enthusiastic workers of the church have been denied the benefits of training because of the expense. But the establishment of the conference training schools brings the training within the reach of every Sunday school in the conference. These training schools offer courses of twelve lessons, given in six days, covering every phase of Sunday school work. The faculty will be made up of leaders in the religious and educational work of the South, who will conduct the classes in the most efficient manner, and w*ili make the courses very definite and practical. The faculty members are Mrs. W. B. Ferguson, primary specialist of Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. M. W. Brabham, superintendent of young peoples' department of the general board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of Nashville, Tenn.; Allan fcinderearten .MISS VV lilCLCC A11VU} w specialist, Atlanta; Prof. T. C. Easterling, superintendent of schools, Marion, S. C.; Dr. John A. Rice, Sumter, S. C.; Rev. L. J. Gillespie, field secretary, upper South Carolina conference; Miss Bruce McDonald, superintendent junior department, Washington Street Sunday school, Columbia; Mrs. Clay E. Smith, elementary superintendent, South Carolina conference; Miss Mary Alice Jones, elementary superintendentelect South Carolina conference, and Rev. W. C. Owen, field secretary, South Carolina conference. The text books used are the very best on the market, written by recognized authorities oe religious and educational subjects. The conference is putting on two schools this year. One will be held in the Carlisle school, Bamberg, Juhe 10 to 17. The only expense will be $1 registration fee and $1.50 per day board. Those who attend will bring their own bed linen. All students are requested, if possible, to be in Bamberg by 8 o'clock the night of June 9 for the organization meeting. \ The other school will be at Myrtle Beach, June 23 to 30. The rate at Myrtle Beach hotel, for those who register in the school, will be $1.50 per day; for all others, the rate will be $3.00 per day. For further information and reservations write Rev. W. C.
