M. Denbow, of Bamberg, was j elected a member of the executive t committee of the South Carolina To- j bacco association at its meeting in Florence last week. ( The long drought experienced in t - Bamberg for several weeks was brok- t en Saturday, when a heavy rain fell \ here. The rain was not general, but ( showers have since fallen practically \ all over the county. The curing of tobacco is in full i ?j ?? orVirkTit tho pmintv and Z SWIIlg 11U W till v?^ ~., , it appears certain that there will be i a large quantity of the weed in the I warehouses for the opening of the lo- 1 cal tobacco market on July 22. 1 B. W. Simmons, who sold out his ] grocery business here some time ago, ( and who with his family has been visiting in Hendersonville, writes that he is now located in Greenwood, ' where he will be in business. He and his family have the best wishes ] of many Bamberg friends. { The many friends of Francis Bam- 1 * i berg, who was injured last week in a base ball game at Blackville, will . leafn with much pleasure that he ' is rapidly recuperating. The injury ; is not believed to be serious. Mr. _ Bamberg was carried from Blackville v to a Columbia hospital for'treatment. He returned home a few days ago, . and Monday afternoon he and Mrs. ^ Ramhere left for Asheville for a short stay. i W. M. Brabham, Jr., known neaily all over the world as "Bill," had the misfortune to very painftlly sprain his ankle last Thursday during the ^ase ball game at Denmark. Bill went tearing after a ball out in the * field when his foot slipped into a small hole, causing a severe wrench, which has laid him up. His friends . are glad to know the injury is not serious, though it may be some time before he regains full use of his foot again. Mrs. F. S. Copeland, of Ehrhardt. attended a meeting of the state board of Christian women's missions, held at the Y. W. C.

Bamberg, pennant winner of the Tri-C ,unty jeague, defeated the Springfield team of the Orangeburg league, in the later town Monday by the score of 4 to 2. Lott, playing short for Springfield, played a fine game in the field, taking in everything coming his way. Schultz, pitch-1 ing his first game for Bamberg, gave " a good account of himself, only allowing two hits, and if it had not > heen for errors would have shut out the opposing team. It was a good, clean game throughout and was enjoyed by the crowd. Score: Springfield 2 2 2 Bamberg 4 7 3 Bateries: Springfield, Pollock and Boylston and Boland; Bamberg, SchsUtz and Cooner.

Works, manager of the Far- d ners Tobacco Warehouse company, t mnounce that the Bamberg tobacco S narket will open on Thursday, July t 12. Messrs. Knight and Works ar- x ived in the city several days ago, to v cake final arrangements for the open- t ng, and they state that the prospects c 'or a fine market are most encourag- f ng. ? c The markets in the Pee Dee tobac- i ;o belt will open on the 20th, and i he local warehousemen desire to at- I ;end these openings before the Bam- \ )erg market opens. Both of the lo ;al warehouses are now in reaamess i for beginning business. s The opening day of the tobacco c narket in Bamberg will be both novel c ind unique and will mark" the begin- i ling of a new era in the history of i Bamberg. Bamberg will have the dis- c :inction of having the only market in ( :his section of the state and the only i market in the lower section of South ( Carolina, excepting Summerville, i where a market was opened last year. 1 All the tobacco men are unani- ( mous in their belief that Bamberg t will readily rank as one of the lead- ( ing markets in the state, and some of them say that in a few years this 1 :itv will be South Carolina's leading i market. This reasoning is sound, be- 1 lause Bamberg having the only mar- 1 ket. in this section, all tobacco grown ] in a number of counties will most likely come to Bamberg. ] About 35 tobacco men are expected i to be here throughout the season, < which usually lasts about 60 days. ] Many of these gentlemen will bring i :heir families with them. The Herald 1 is informed that considerable diffi- < culty has been experienced in securing accommodations for these peo- t pie during the tobacco season, al- ] though it is hoped that an arrange- J ment can be made whereby Guilds 1 hall, at Carlisle school, wTill be opened for a few weeks for the entertain- , ment of the tobacco visitors. Bamberg feels very acutely at the present' time the inadequacy of its hotel faciyties. VOTE OX BOXDS TODAY. Issue of $40,000 Proposed for Extensions and Enlargements in City. i Today, Thursday, July 15, -is the date fixed for the voters of Bamberg to pass upon the matter of issuing bonds to the extent of $40,000 for civ- < ic improvements. The bond issue is divided as follows, each being a separate proposition: Twenty-five thousand dollars for the extension of the waterworks system of the town, and $15,000 for the improvement and enlargement of the power and water plant. nnn issha is for the Dur pose of extending the water lines of the city. When the present lines were laid, many connections were not made because at that time conditions did not warrant it. Since then sections of the town have been built up and which have now no water lines : or fire protection. It is intended to put water in every section of the town. The $15,000 issue is for the pur- 1 chase of new equipment for the power and water plant, supply a new well, and improvement of the present equipment, which is said to be in ' a very bad-state of repair. The election will be held during ; the usual election hours, and H. N. ; Folk, C. W. Rentz, Jr., and A. S. Eas- ! terling have been named as election 1 managers. ' FILE PLEDGES BY JULY 20. J Candidates Have Only Until Next 1 Tuesday to Enter Races. 1 - i The prospective candidates for ; county offices have until Tuesday,' Ju- 1 ly .20th, at 12 o'clock, to file their pledges with the secretary of the ex- : ecutive committee, W. D. Rowell. At 1 that time all entries close, and if the pledge has not been filed no candidate 1 will be eligible to run in the primar- ; ies. The rules of the Democratic party provide that no pledge can be filed ' after noon of the day preceding the first campaign meeting, which will be held at Farrell's cross roads on Wednesday, July 21. ?I | , njp f (jQpi I Smoak-Ray. ^ i David A.

Sheriff Dukes, of Orangeburg counv, returned to Orangeburg several [ays ago from Maine, where he went o bring back to South Carolina J. lam Morton, and John F. Digman, >ut he failed to bring his prisoners nth him. Morton and Digman are wanted by the Orangeburg authoriies for alleged criminal conduct in onnection with the promotion of a )lant propagating concern in that ity. While no charges have been referred in Bamberg, Morton is also Jleged to have misused funds or tne Bamberg potato house concern, in vhich he was interested. On reaching Maine, the requisition >apers of Governor Cooper were preiented to the governor of Maine, who leclined to honor the requisition because of alleged defects in the prejaration of the papers. The points nvolved are said to be of a technical nature, but counsel for the accused men used the grounds successhilly in fighting extradition to South Carolina. In the meantime Morton ind Digman have been released on Bond, and July 28 has been set as the late for a further hearing on the mat:er, when the Maine executive will either honor or decline extradition. Morton was interested in the ereccion of a sweet potato curing house n Bamberg, and was trusted with a arge sum of money, which he is said io have carried away with him. As nost of this money was in a New Fork exchange, as soon as the susDicions of the local gentlemen were iroused, they had payment on the :heck stopped. As it was Morton carried away a considerable sum of cash money, also gave a check to the Sou:hern railway for several hundred dollars which was refused payment Two carloads of hollow building ;ile, which was shipped to Morton, are piled on the potato bouse lot here and a carload of cement is here or the sidetrack consigned to Morton.

Carte1', Who CoiTects < Some Erroneous ideas of War. The twentieth reunion of company "G," South Carolina volunteer in- ( fan-try, Confederate veterans, was i held at Bethesda church last Thurs- . day.

Black welcomed the veterans and visitors on behalf of the local committee, and B. W. Miley, Esq., responded. J. F. Carter, Esq., of the Bamberg , bar, delivered the address of the occasion.

To the Farmers of the Bamberg Tobacco Market:?The managers and operators of the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse Company, of Bamberg, S. C., are now in the field, open and ready for the tobacco season. You will find them at their office at the warehouse at most any hour willing and anxious to advise with afiy and all who are connected with the raising, curing and production of tobacco in any form. All' who are connected with the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse Company hav^ had a lifetime experience in the warehouse business and we feel that we have a system to our business that cannot be excelled anywhere in the south. Bring your tobacco to us and we believe that you will go home writh more money and better satisfied than you will to ship your tobacco to some distant market, where you cannot give it your personal attention until your tobacco is sold. There are several things connected with* the curing of tobacco that are very necessary: First. Be sure your tobacco is ripe before picking it for the barn. Green tobacco will not/cure into a mellow, sweet smoking type of tobacco. It may be necessary in some cases, on account of the dry weather, to gather some yellow tobacco which is not matured, but leave it stand in the field just as long as possible without suffering too much damage. You bad better lose some of the sand I "s- than to damage the entire crop. We feel that we can assure you that good mellow bright tobacco will be in good'demand and will bring fair prices, but we have nothing to encourage tne planter aooui commuu tobacco. Any time you are in town come in and see us and get personally acquainted with us. We are here to build a first-class Tobacco Market at home for all who are interested. The opening date will be July 22. FARMERS TOBACCO WAREHOUSE COMPANY, By R. J. Works, Manager. COUNTY CAMPAIGN MEETINGS.
