Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County. (
\
The Baptist Woman's Missionary ,
c
society will meet next Wednesday afternoon
at 5:30 o'clock at the church.
A full attendance is urged. (
t The many friends of G-. Frank j
Bamberg, who recently underwent
an operation in Charlotte, will be j
pleased to know that he is rapidly <
regaining his health. He returned
from Charlotte a few days ago, ac- ]
companied by Mrs. Bamberg. j
The master made one sale Monday,
that involved in the c^se of Mrs. i
Ruth Califf versus R. H. Califf, et al. 1
" ' 1 ? n J
Tne nrst tract, a iui auu I coiuonv^, j
sold for $4,700, and the second tract, i
two lots and two residences, soltf for J
$6,000. Both tracts bid in by J.
Wesley Crum, Jr., attorney. <
A number of attractive new homes ?
have recently been built in Bamberg,
or are now in the process of erection. 1
While building conditions are not J
very favorable at the present time, the
need for houses in the town has caus- ^
ed many prospective builders to
make their plans to build at once. J
Miss Virginia Hill, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hill, has been {
recortfmended and notified of her acceptance
as a student of the W. M.
U. training school next session. Miss J
Hill has enlisted in the student volunteer
movement to become a foreign
missionary of the Baptist denomination.
i
The drought for the past two or <
three weeks is causing a very serious
deterioration of crops. This is specially
true of the corn crop, which is j
said to be deteriorating rapidly.
Some sections of the county have re- (
cently been visited by rains, while ^
other sections have not had rain in
three weeks or more. The section ^
from Denmark to Blackville is said
to be the greatest sufferer. ^
Farmers from every section of
Bamberg county report the presence j
of boll weevils in alarming numbers. <
A Bamberg gentleman who visited
tlie Estill section a few days ago reports
that tie cotton plants in that
section are fine, but that the weevils .
have eaten practically the whole crop
of young bolls. While the weevils
are thoroughly broadcast over this
county, it is not believed that the <
loss here will be nearly so great as (
in the more southern counties. * <
Poppenheim-Bikle. j
_____ r
The marriage of Miss Mary E. Pop- t
penheim to Louis A. Bikle, which \

ILLITERACY IX COUNTY. 1
5,054 Persons Over 10 Cannot Read 1
or Write Their Names.
There are in South Carolina 2 76,000
persons over 10 years of age who
cannot read and write. The 1910
census figures report 3,054 illiterates '
in Bamberg county. Of the white
population 4.2 per cent, were 1
illiterate, while the negro pop- j
illation showed 33 per cent. :
The total per cent, of illiteracy
with the other counties of the state
Bamberg ranks 16th in the scale of
literacy.
The table compiled by the state
superintendent of education from the '
Democratic club rolls of 1916 gives
some startling facts. In that year
1 9,878 men voted in the state who
signed their names to the club rolls
.vith a cross mark. In Bamberg county
1,533 men registered, 10.8 per
cent, made their marks. When compared
with the other counties of the
state Bamberg ranks 5th in literacy
among the voters.
Let South Carolina secede from
illiteracy by each literate citizen
teaching one illiterate.

HAMBURG LOSES TO BLACKVILLE
Too Much Kitts and Hitting at Right
Moment Cause Victory.
>
Black ville, July 6.?Too much
Kitts and hitting when hits meant
runs caused Bamberg to go down in
defeat this afternoon by the score of
9 to 5. The locals simply walloped
Gillman, who started for Bamberg,
and Smith, who succeeded him m the
seventh inning, but was little better.
But for a few bobbles, Kitts would
have scored a shut out.
Buist, Humerlin, Welch, Burns and
Kitts were the bright stars for the
locals, while for Bamberg Rentz and
Turnipseed and Bamberg did well,
Bamberg getting a home run. Welch,
the localsMast shortstop, has hit safely
eight times in his last nine trips
to the plate.

Bamberg Defeats Barnwell.
Bamberg defeated Barnwell on the
latter's diamond last Friday by the
score of 2 to 1. The Bamberg team,
which had-been playing a more or
less ragged'and indifferent game for
the previous two weeks, showed
flashes of the old time 'pep,' and
while they made three errors, the
playing of the entire team was good.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Smith, who allowed only
one hit.
Bamberg earned the game. It has
been said that the game was wron by
Bamberg on account of errors of the
Barnwell team, but this is a mistake.
If the game had gone errorless Bamberg
would have won the game 1 to
0. Score:

The Bamberg Realty company,
which was organized a few weeks
ago by ten prominent Bamberg citizens
for the purpose of providing
housing facilities in this city has
just completed the erection of three
nice residences on the property purchased
by the company from G. O.
Simmons in the northern section of
i
town. The fourth residence is now
in construction of erection, and will
soon be completed.

neat'and attractive. The home now
being erected will be two stories and
considerably larger than the others.

Tt is the expectation of the promoters
of the company to erect homes on the

A quiet home wedding took place

Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Toole, when Rev.

Baptist church, joined in holy wedlock
Miss Estelle Annie Toole, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Toole, to

mother of the bride has for long
been an invalid, only very intimate
friends of the contracting parties ana
close relatives were in attendance at
the ceremony. The bride is a young
woman of many lovable traits and
has won many and sincere friends by
her gracious disposition.
Mr. Martin is an energetic young
business man who is connected with
the Bell Telephone company in his
home town, is highly regarded and
bopular in his part of the state.

Francis Bamberg Hurt.
Blackville, July 6.?Francis Bamberg-,
playing left field for Bamberg,
was painfully injured here this afternoon
in the game between Bamhprpr
and Riankvillc. when he was
struck directly behind the right ear
by av swiftly pitched ball by Pitcher
Kitts. The accident was plainly unavoidable
and all Blaekville would
have mu\a rather lost the game than
to see the plucky little fielder injured.
It is hoped that his^ injury is not
serious, fie is resting fairly well tolight
at the residence of J. W. Browning,
where he was taken after the
?ame.
Mr. Bamberg was carried to Columbia
Wednesday morning to have
an X-ray examination made of the
injury. He was accompanied by Dr.
A.. S. Weekley,of Bamberg. It is sincerely
hoped by his many Bamberg
friends that Mr. Bamberg's injury
will not prove serious.

PLANTED FAKE WATERMELONS.
Field of 44Watson" Melons Tui'ns Out
To lie "Guinea" Variety.
W. Gilmore Simms, who is operating
a farm on the old William Gilmore
Simms estate at Midway, has
experienced quite a misfertune in a
watermelon venture* this season. At
the first of the season, when Mr.
Simms was planning his crops, he
decided on watermelons as a good
crop to combat the cotton boll weevil
with, and he planted some fifty to
sixty acres in this crop. Shippers of
melons \n this section all recommend
very highly the "Tom Watson" watermelons
(the melon is said to be far
superior to the man) which are especially
adapted for shipping purposes.
The seed for the planting were
bought of a well known seed house,
and the crop was very promising. A
nice crop of melons grew on the vines,
and splendid profits were expected bj
Mr. Simms.
A few days ago, though, the melor
'field was given the "once over," and
it was seen with unmistakable evi
dence that the crop of Tom Watsons
had turned out to be what the farmers
know as guinea watermelons?
which, to all practical purposes is
just about no melon at all. These
guinea melons grbw about as large
as cantaloupes and are usually fit foi
nothing but hog food. Many farmersplant
them for this purpose, as tliej
are very prolific, turning the. hogs
into the field without bothering tc
gather the melons. '
Mr. Simms is quite a heavy losei
by the fake seed, as it is said that
his fertilizer bill alone was something
like $3,000. With a good crop he
should have gathered no less than
20^ car,loads of melons, and at the
present prices this would have meant
about $7,000, as melons are quoted
at about $350 per carload.
It is said that the seed houses will
not guarantee seeds, as they purchase
them from growers and sell them as
the seed are represented. In this
case it is presumed that the seed
house was faked.
