MCRE PAVING BEING BONE.
"WJork Progressing on Paving Rail- j
road Avenue Sidewalks.
A Work was started last week on the
paving of the sidewalks on Railroad
avenue by the Ryan Engineering and
Construction company. The work j
is under the personal supervision of;
Mr. G. D. Ryan. Up to Saturday:
night one block of the paving on the/
north side of Railroad avenue had
been completed, and the work is being
pushed rapidly.
The walks on both sides of the avenue
will be paved. The paving on
the north side will extend from Mr.
H. D. Free's corner at the eastern
extremity of the street to the Central
hotel corner, opposite the passenger
depot. On the south side of the avenue
the paving will extend from the
far eastern end of the street to the
H. C. Folk corner at Main street.
This work will be a great improvement
to Railroad avenue. Orve-half
of the cost of the work is being pa'd
by the abutt'ng property owners on
the avenue, and the other half is
paid "by the city. The total cost of
the work will approximate $15,000.

understand the writer's chief ambi- ?

formed in Bamberg county. The let- a

Farmers Realize Danger to be Had t(
From Boll Weevil. t}
n:
The boil weevil conference held j ir
here Tuesday by experts of Clemson ; si
college was well attended by farmers r<
throughout the county, notwithstand- ! le
Ing tne inclement weather that pre-u
failed. The meeting was presided ov-! n:
er by Henry S. Johnson, district dem-! tl
onstration agent, of Aiken. %
The importance of taking 'mine- w
diate steps to prepare against the s<
weevil was forcibly presented, and rr
the proper measures were discussed ri
by the several speakers, including ti
Commissioner B. Harris, Henry S. t<
Johnson, and W. E. Winters, agronomist
of Clemson college.
The planting of tobacco and peanuts
was the principal measures of N
preparation against the weevil discussed,
these crops being pointed out
11 ' - * ? An I fl
as possioie suulcssuis cu ^uhuu. i v.
With the judicious planting of t<
these crops, and with a decrease in ti
the acreage of cotton, it was po'nted r.
out that the weevil need hold no c
fears over the farmers. k
That several acres of cotton may a
profitably be planted to the plow was t:
also shown, but it was made very J
clear that to continue to plant heav- b
ilv of cotton, as in the past,, meant d
bankruptcy to the farmers under weevil
cond'tions. fi
A great deal of interest was taken v
in the meet'ng, and the farmers here ti
are thoroughly aroused aver the fact s<
that the weevil is here and that it is b
now absolutely necessary to take active
measures against him. o
MALARIA WORK PROGRESSING.
Vlammoth Engineering Feat Carried
out by Government.
The government work being earned
out in Bamberg under the supervision
of the United States Public
dealth service for the eradication of
nalaria is progressing rapidly. Unier
the supervision of Captain L. M.
Fisher, U. S. army engineer, the work
,vas started several weeks ago. At
present a large gang of workmen is
mgaged in constructing a canal from,
i^emon Swamp, about two miles from
own, to and almost through thelcity
imits. The canal has been com- j
dieted for a considerable distance.
Ir. J. C. Moye is overseeing the work.
This canal will extend from Lemon
Swamp to the dairy farm of Mr. C.
kV. Rentz, and wil,l drain several
innfis Difchps will hA rnnstruofpd
rom the various low places to this
:anal, and will afford perfect draintge
for this part of town.
It is understood that another large
:anal will be constructed to drain ino
the Edisto river. The canal that
s now under construction is about
en feet in width at the top, with a
channel about four feet in width at
he bottom, and the depth varies ac:ording
to the lay of the land, in
ome places it being necessary to go
o a depth of some ten to fifteen feet.
The malaria control work is costng
approximately $2f>,000, and the
jxpense is being borne by the citiens
of Bamberg and the Rockefeller
oundat'on, through the U. S. Pubic
Health service it- is understood
hat under favorable conditions the
rork will be completed by next Apil.
There is now a shortage of iatorers,
and an effort^ is now being
iiade to secure additional laborers
or this work.

TOO MANY HUSBANDS.
ew York Woman Did Not Realize
She Was Doing Wrong.
New York, Jan. 10.?Protesting
hat she did not know it was illegal
d have more than one husband at a
ime, Mrs. Edna Leslie, 23, was ara'gned
in Brooklyn today on thv.
harge of having had four in the
ist seven years. She adm'tted that
11 of them were alive and she never
roubled herself to get a divorce,
ohn Leslie, who owns a freglu
oat was the last of the line and she
eclared she loved him best of all.
"I never thought I'd see any of my
armer husbands again," the young
oman told the court, "and did not
hink it was aga'nst the lav/ to marry
o many men. I'm sorry if I have
roken the law."

OFF TO COLUMBIA.
i
| County Delegation Left Monday to
Assume Legislative Duties.
The county delegation to the general
assembly left Monday afternoon
for Columb'a to take up their duties
as legislators. The delegation
ic composed of Dr. J. B. Black, senator.
and Messrs. B. W. Miley and W.
L. Riley, representatives.
Several matters of interest to Bamberg
will be before the legislature
at the present session. One matter
that is of prime importance to the
people of the county will be the ac^

insertion in the county appropriation
measure of an appropriation for the
support of the county demonstration
agent. Unless an appropriation is
made to supplement the agent's salary,
there will be no demonstration
agent in the county this year.
It is expected that the election to
annex a portion of Colleton to Bamberg
county will be ratified if the
matter can be gotten in shape. It
is understood that there is some complication
in regard to th;s matter, and
it may be that the election will not
be declared and may have to be held
over.
Among the new measures to be introduced
in the early part of the session
will be a road bill by Mr. Milev.
This measure will be a substitute for
the State highway bill, and Mr. Miley
experts to put up a stout fight
for his bill.

INCREASES CAPITAL STOCK.
Ramherff Hankinc Pomnanv Now Can
italized at $200,000.00.
On January 12th the capital stock
of the Bamberg Banking company
was formally increased from $55,000
to $200,000. The necessary action
to 'increase the capital stock of
the-bank was taken some time ago.
It is understood that all of the stock
was sold several months ago, in fact
there was a demand for more stock
than the increase called for.
The capitalization of the bank at
$200,000 makes the Bamberg Banking
company one of the largest as
well as strongest financial institutions
in the southern part of South Carolina.
This bank is the oldest institution
in Bamberg county. It was established
even years before there
was a bank in Barnwell, wtrch was
then the county seat of old Barnwell
county, the territory of which included
all of Bamberg county.

RESIGNS PASTORATE.
Former Bamberg Pastor Leaves Westminster
on Account of Hea'th.
We regret to learn that Pastor W.
R. McMillan has been compelled by
ill health to resign at Westminster,
where he has served faithfully for
nearly three years. The church in
accepting his resignation adopted
resolutions expressing their appreciation
of Bro. McMillan, and their
sympathetic interest in his health.
They also decided to pay him $50 a
month for six months with the express
provision that if his health is
still impaired at the end of this time,
they may take up the matter again
and continue his support still further.
This is a beautiful and gracious thing
for the Westminster saints to do, and
we are sure that their VinHnecc -ccill
make it easier for Bro. McMillan to
regain his health. We join in their
prayers for his early restoration.?
