Aged Bamberg Lady Passed Away Wednesday Afternoon. Mrs. Lizzie Nevils passed away at her home in this city last Wednesdayafternoon, August 18. While Mrs. Nevils had been in health for about two years with heart trouble, her death came quit? suddenly, and was a shock to her friends and relatives. The funeral services were conducted Thursday at her late home on Church street, the Rev. 0. J. Frier, of Denmark, officiating, in the absence of her pastor, the Rev. Geo. P. White. The remains were carried to Blackville and interment took place in the family burial ground about two miles from that place. Mrs. Nevils was 78 years of age. Before her marriage she was a Miss Lee, her old home being at Lees. Her husband died some 25 years ago, and for the past 20 years she has resided in Bamberg. She was a member of the Bamberg Baptist church, and was an estimable Christian woman. She was possessed of a very strong constitution, and several times in the past two years her life had been despaired of. The end came very peacefully and without apparent 1 J.

The cotton dusting demonstration for boll -weevil poisoning was held at Denmark Monday, with about 75 farmers in attendance. Three large machines were demonstrated along with a number of hand guns. One of the large machines was run by a gas engine causing the draft to be much lighter on the team. This type of machine is something new and has not been put upon the market yet. Profs. Conradi, Barre and Blackwell, of Clemson college, were present, Prof. Conradi making a short talk on the work and discussed ,the recent poisoning of Mayfield's dairy herd, saying that he was a little skeptical as to the possibility of the herd getting poisoned by the dust cloud drifting over into the pasture and related his past experiences with the poison to back up his statements. The drifting of the dust cloud or water from a poisoned field should be carefully guarded against in the future by all who use the poison. It is very active for the first 24 hours after its application. Mr. Mayfield has lost 18 head of his fine dairy cattle and is positive that the drifting of the dust cloud over into his pasture was the cause of the trouble. DISTRICT CONVENTION. Knights of Pytliias Held Interesting Meeting in Aiken. The Knights of Pythias of district No. 3 held a district meeting at Aiken last Wednesday afternoon and evening, at which quite a representative number of Pvthians was present. The Bambersr lodse was renrpsprifpH hv T. B. Fowler, C. W. Rentz, Jr., and R. M. Hitt, as delegates. Representatives were also present from the Ehrhardt, Olar and Denmark lodges. Reports from the various lodges disclosed the fact that Pythianism is progressing well throughout the district. The grand chancellor; P. F. Henderson, was in attendance upon the convention, and the grai^d prelate, Col. J. C. Guilds, of Bamberg, was scheduled to attend,'but was prevented on account of absence from the state. This was the first district convention to be held in two years, the semi-annual meetings being suspended during the war period. The grand chancellor announced that meetings are to be resumed this fall throughout the state. i?I ? TOWN SELLS BONDS. Toledo, Ohio, Concern Purchases $15,000 of Issue. The city authorities of Bamberg have just closed a transaction with the Chidney, Spitzer & Co., of Toledo, Ohio, for the sale of $15,000 of the bond issue recently voted by the citizens of Bamberg for public improvements. The same concern has secured a' thirty-day option on the remaining $25,000 of the bond issue. The city council is now engaged in efforts to rhabilitate the water and power plant. Arrangements have VjQAn morlrv vt-ifV. o npAminor+ an ori_ 1XIUUO X til CI J^l UJULLXJUL^U, U neer to come to Bamberg in the next few days to confer with the city council, and it is expected that a satisfac- 1 tory arrangement will be * made whereby the plant will be repaired and put on a business footing. ? n> ^ O Sandifer-Sheppard. A marriage of interest to their many friends in Bamberg and Barn- . well counties was that of Mrs. Eliza- ;] beth Sandifer, of Lees, to George i Sheppard, of near. Barnwell, which ] was performed by Dr. W. M. Jones, of this city, on the afternoon of Sun- u day, August 8th. The bride is a V member of the Grimes family, of j Bamberg county, being a sister to j Charlie and Henry Grimes. Mr. ^ Sheppard is probably one of the < best known and best liked men in * Barnwell county, having served for t years as a .member of the board of ; registration. He is also one of this section's most substantial farmers. The People extends best wishes for many years of happiness and prosperity.?Barnwell People. 1 Kerosene lamps have returned to < popularity in Bamberg.

Local base ball fans, together with several hundred visitors from neighboring counties, were keenly disappointed last Friday afternoon, when a heavy storm suddenly brought the Bamberg-Charleston ball game to a stop. The game was called in the first half of the fourth inning, at which time the score was Charleston 3, Bamberg 0. The biggest crowd that has ever assembled at Rhoad Park was on hand to see the game, which had been extensively advertised throughout thic anrl ndinininp- pnnntioc Onito a number of Charleston visitors were among the fans. The storm came up in the fourth inning. The rain sent the fans scurrying to the shelter of the grand stand and automobiles. However, covering accommodations were too meager for the crowd, and some hundreds of fans had their enthusiasm as well as their skins dampened. Charleston secured two hits, the runs being made on errors. Batteries: Charleston, Townsend and Von Kolnitz; Bamberg, Kitts and Banks. Umpires, Bellinger and U. Bamberg. This was the last game of the season on the home diamond. The Charleston team arrived in the city via Denmark on the 9:01 trair. At noon the members of the, team were carried to the river, where they were tendered a fish fry. After the rain stopped the game, the play-j ers decided to leave for Charleston j on the 6:01 train, instead of going j to Orangeburg to catch the train, as 1 first planned. ^1 KIDNAPING CASE BEFORE GOV. Cooper Holdes Another Hearing?De- j cision Soon. After hearing arguments yesterday _ _ _ m the Mayfield-Breedin-Sandifer kidnaping case, Governor Cooper took the matter under advisement in order to examine authorities which the attorneys submitted. \V. D. Mayfield, Jim Breedin and Henry B. Sandifer.^ Bamberg county men, are wanted in "North Carolina on a charge of kidnaping, it being alleged that they kidnaped two negro farm hands and brought them to South Carolina. Mayfield had previously attempted to secure the extradition of th6 two negroes from North Carolina, and the request had been refused by Governor Bickett. Attorneys for the defendants have contended that the governor has authority to inquire into the guilt or innocence of the alleged fugitives before granting extradition. This point was raised by counsel for the three South Carolina men at the first hearing for extradition several days ago, and last Wednesday Governor Cooper granted the attorneys for the defendants an extension of time until yesterday so that they would have time for consulting further court records. E. A. Brown, Barnwell, J. Wesley Crum, Jr., Denmark, for the defendants, and T. L. Candle, Wadesboro, N. C., for the respondent, were before Governor Cooper yesterday, and an extended argument was made. After hearing the arguments Governor Cooper took the matter under advisement and will probably anlounce his decision within a few days. ?The State, Aug. 22. ' PETIT JURORS.

The Democratic primary election .will be held next Tuesday throughout the state. Voters are urged to read carefully the notice of election appearing in another place in this issue of The Herald. The election notice contains full information regarding the primary, the provisions of which the voters should familiarize themselves. Booths will be provided for all of the larger clubs of the county, several clubs having increased their enrollment to such an extent their enrollment to such an extent that they have been added to the Australian ballot plan. Very little interest has been taken in the primary so far, and it is doubtful if the state will poll anything like a full primary vote. Very few of the state offices are bei&g contested, most interest, perhaps, being centered in the nomination of a Democratic candidate for United States senator. Aside from the contest for the house of representatives, sheriff, and supervisor, there is very little interest in county politics this year. The Herald will mot follow its usual procedure of issuing the paper a day earlier this year, but full election returns will be given in the paper issued Wednesday afternoon. FARM MEETINGS.
