The Orangeburg district Methodist conference will be held at St. Matthews today and tomorrow. Bishop Darlington is expected to be present at the conference. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Price, Jr., moved last week into their new home erected on the lot purchased from the Bamberg Realty company. The new residence is a most attractive and cozy home, and adds much to the appearance of that part of town. Dr. E. W. McCrone, assistant state veterinarian for Bamberg and Barnwell counties, is located at Blackville. Livestock owners are urged to call him when any disease thought to be of an infectious of contagious character appears in their he.'tis*. His services are free for the control of infectious and contagious diseases of livestock. The county treasurer states that there is still a large amount due the county in taxes. The tax books will close on the 15th of this month, after which executions will be issued against property on which taxes have not been paid. Mr. Jennings says that the amount of unpaid taxes is about the same as if the books had "been closed at the usual time, March 1 nth. Sunday School Day at Trinity. Trinity Methodist church believes in observing special days. When our * general Sunday school board demands that what used to be known as children's day, but which name has been changed to Sunday school day, embracing all stages of human life from the cradle to the grave, be observed yearly henceforth, we loyal Methodists can but obey. * It was our pleasure and privilege last Sunday to walk into our church which had been beautified with lovely j spring flowers and pot plants. Colonel Duncan was in charge of the decorations and right well did he I perform his part.' The ones who look i to this special part of any exercises j have no small contribution to make. | Our programme wrapped itself! about the subject, "the Sunday school j and the efficient church of the fu- j ture." A piano selection by Mrs. | J\Ioye, accompanied by C. E. Black on; the ?eello, was much enjoyed. Prayer j was offered by our pastor. The sen-! *- > ,,,00 firot intrndnppd ! lQr Qt^iJctl liilCil L \V U.O Uiut i J.A Vi V V? v v_, , and a number of Carlisle's manly i fellows, in short well selected words, brought to us the aim of this department of an organized Sunday school. Just following this, two younger fellows from Carlisle asked and answered questions about the intermediate department, that vitally important part of a Sunday school that deals * with the strategic period when so j many boys and girls are lost to the j church school. Captain Lever said > a few words and gave us an illustra-1 tion from colored life that should j long linger in our minds. He brought i to us emphatically what is the aim | of the organized Bible classes. A! number of boys then spoke of the work of which they have a part. The beginners' and primaries' came ' upon the rostrum and through songs! and other things they did and the well j rendered story told them by Miss | I Van Landingham, we got some idea j of what is being done in ihis im-! portant department. The choir gave j a pretty song and the congregation | joined them in other songs. The1 juniors, under the inspiration and direction of their leader, Mrs. M. T. Johnson, ana some of their teachers, rendered their part of the programme in a thoroughly interesting, entertaining manner. Truly, " the junior age is the golden period of memory." All who work for and with the jun Tt-olr>nma AS f>h onDOl'tUn J.U1 S OUUU1U HtlvUUiW ~ C K ity to make this true in each precious life. The home department and the adult department members were asked to stand. This was their part of the exercises. Surely that did not cost anyone much. Mrs. Rhoad, superintendent of the cradle roll, made a very encouraging report of this part of our work?taking the child at the earliest age and connecting him with the school of the church. J. Carl Kearse made a good address on, "the Sunday school and the new day." Verily old ihings have passed away, and we live in a different, a more enlightened social age. As we were combining mothers' day with Sunday school day, we were favored with a splendid address on mother by R. P. Bellinger. He had the close attention of his hearers while he lovingly and beautifully spoke of our dearest friend, mother. After a prayer, our first Sunday school day passed into history along with many children's da vs.?Contributed. * READY TO START WORK. W. D. May field Furnishes Rond for Road Construction. The state highway commission has . approved of the bid submitted by W. D. Mayfield. of Lees, for the construction of the link of the Augusta-Charleston highway from Denmark to the Barnwell county line, the bond supplied by Mr. Mayfield has been approved, and arrangements are being made for the immediate beginning of the construction work. It is understood that the starting of the construction work is being delayed on account of adjusting the route through the town of Denmark. As soon as this route is established to the satisfaction of the highway commission, it is stated that .Mr. .Mayfield will begin operations. Mr. Mayfield's bid was $15,464.30 for the construction of about 4 1-4 miles of roadway. This was the lowest bid. and was accepted tentatively, pending approval of the state highway com- ( mission, which has since approved , the Mayfield bid, and the contract has been awarded. It is stated that the state highway commission will not consent for the , construction work to be started until . the controversy concerning the road 3 through Denmark is settled to the satisfaction of all parties. It was ^ stated Monday that the prospect is ] that this matter will be adjusted soon. Work is expected to be started on the ^ Mayfield contract on the 16th, it is , < stated, if the Denmark matter is ad- ^ justed by that date. The present route through Denmark is said to not be acceptable to the highway commission. The cross- ^ ing of the railroads is said not to be satisfactory*. Another route was pro- , < posed, and this, in turn, was not acceptable to the people of Denmark, it is understood. The new route car- ^ ried the road through the campus of! r the public school, and many patrons,, of the school objected on the ground t of danger to the school children. " ?^? BAILEY DEFEATED. I Carlisle Takes Three of Series of Four j With Baptists. i - Catching squarelv on the nose a! > I 1 ' j curve exactly to his liking. Hard s Luck entered the baseball hall of i ^ Wednesday which sent the ball sail-1 ^ I ing far over center field, bringing in j T ahead of him Fairey who was perch-! s ed on second, and winning the last j c game of the Bailey series by a score jC of 4 to 3. This smash was the long-,1 2 est hit of the year and one of the!* longest ever delivered at Rhoad park. \ T It went far over the center fielder's; "5 head and almost landed in the rifle | 2 pit. When he made this hit Hard j I Lusk entered the baseball hall of[ * fame, and long after he is gone from! Carlisle to win athletic honors at an-j c other institution, this wallop will be 2 remembered and handed down to s those who play here in the future ^ years. At the beginning of the con-! s % test it was realized that a hard strug-; r gle was at hand, for Bailey's pitching \ c ace, Ratcliffe, was in the box, and j ^ very deceptive curves did he serve to j I the cadets. For the first four innings , 3 he sent the Carlisle team to its seat; c without allowing a hit. During these j 1 innings McLeod was working well, j i but Bailey was pounding his offerings; r with considerable regularity. As thej c game progressed, Mac became better j I and at tne last ne was punning uu-j beatable ball. Johnny Thompson hit; a long drive to right for three bags, j * which was instrumental in scoring i ^ I one run for the cadets. ! ! Duncanville Clubs. j i i ; i The Duncanville Sewing and Poul-i ; try clubs met Friday afternoon, May: ' 6. The following programme was ; j carried out: The meeting was called 1 | to order by the president; roll called | ; and minutes read by the secretary; j | song by the clubs, "Smiles;" reading; j by Connie Ayer; reading by Ruby and j J Clennie Smoak, "I will and I can't;" j | song by the clubs, "Smile, Smile, ! j Smile." There was no further busi-. ! ness so the meeting was turned over to Miss Varn, who gave us instructions about our short course which will be held in Bamberg. Then the sewing club girls maae an arucie of underwear, while Miss Varn -gave the poultry club a talk on the care of their young chicks. She also taught us some new songs and gave | instructions about the short course | at Winthrop in June. Our next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. R. L.

The French are puzzled about the j decline in the number of students at j I the universities of that country. One ! of the most popular universities has j shown a decline of 40 per cent., as ; compared with the pre-war times. | This condition is supposed to be due | principally to the increased cost of ! living and also to the fact that a great many men of the college age I and class were wiped out by th? war. i SPECIAL ELECTION TODAY. Citizens Will Yote on Proposed Sali of Public Works. In accordance with the notice o election, which appears in anothei place in The Herald, an election wil be held today in the city of Bamber* for the purpose of deciding whethe: or not the authority shall be givei to the commissioners of public work! to effect a sale, if a suitable offer h received, of the city electric plani and waterworks system. The polls will be open within th< usual hours of elections, and ballot! rvin ha nrnvideri callins: for ves anc no answers to the respective questions. The proposition is whether or noi the citizens of Bamberg desire tc convey to the commissioners the authority to make a sale of the publi( works of the town. The election does not sell the property, as, so fai as indicated, there is no offer to purchase at the present time, but if sucb an offer is received, and the authority is .granted, the commissioners will be in position to consider the offer. As outlined in a recent artice in The Herald by Mr. Dickinson, chairman of the board of commissioners, no offer to purchase would be accepted without conferring with the people, and the commissioners have no idea of conveying the property, sven though they are given the authority, without giving all citizens i thorough hearing and taking into Jull consideration the opinions of the people. The reasons set forth are that the management of the public works of ;he town has now reached such proportion's that it is a man's size job, ind that the town may not hope much longer to secure the services if commissioners without pay, and ;he town is not able to pay them, rhe commissioners have stated that n the event a sale is contemplated, ;he people may rest assured all proper safeguards will be secured. '^b Hospital for Fairfax. % Fairfax is the home of the late Jrs. Virginia Durant Young, who vas perhaps the first woman in this state to'own and edit a newspaper. 5he was also a remarkable and in act unique personality, in that she vas a strong advocate of woman suffrage years ago. I heard her adiress the general assembly of South Carolina in joint session in 1899. The ippeal fell upon deaf ears then, but ler appearance was prophetic. She vas survived by her husband, Dr. foung, who died last year and left i legacy to establish a hospital at Fairfax. I have been told that the egacy will have a value of $300,000. Without questioning the wisdom >r the sincerity of this bequest for i town of not more than 1,500 perons, I could not but regret that Dr. foung had not left an estate of that ize to be devoted to building good oads, for that is the greatest needs if Hampton and Jasper counties. Vith hard roads, the health of the leople would be better, and if they ust had to go to a hospital they ould motor to Charleston or to Coumbia or Savannah r Augusta. But t is a job no well man relishes?to ide any distance now over Hampton ounty roads.?William Banks in Coumbia State. >m < > ?

The work is evidently the acts of J amateurs, for a real burglar would I know that banks and printing offices ,! are about the poorest sort of places i to burglarize, as printing offices have I nothing of value to anybody else and i banks keep their valuables too secure 11 ! for amateurs to touch, i Grahams Chapter Meets. \ Members of Grahams chapter, U.

Your i it, and certainly the fuj, in a large measure, upon it LaVictoire Theatre this MEMORIAL EXERCISES TUESDAY. Rev. W. J. Snyder Delivered Annual Address Iiefore Veterans. Confederate memorial day was celebrated in Bamberg Tuesday morning with fitting exercises by the Francis Marion Bamberg chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The annual address was made by Rev. W. J. Snyder. The smallest number of veterans on record attend5d the exercises this year, only seven Df the old heroes being in attendance. Last year'twenty-four veterans were in attendance. Duirng the past year i number 6f.old soldiers have passed iway, and many more have become incapacitated by old age from venturing far from home. The meeting was held on the court louse green and was presided over 3v the president of the U. D. C. chap;er, Mrs. J. C. Lewis. The opening grayer was offered by Rev. Geo. P. ftrhite. The address of welcome was made )y Mrs. J. F. Carter, who in brief, )ut most appropriate remarks, exended to "the veterans a very warm ind cordial welcome on this" occasion, expressing on behalf of the chapter he joy of the daughters in annually greeting the heroes of the south. Dr. J. B. Black responded to Mrs. barter's welcome on behalf of the reterans, expressing the appreciation >f the veterans for the cordial words ipoken to them and their appreciaion for the spirit manifested by the ^ood women on behalf of the surviv-" ng soldiers of the Confederacy. Music was furnished by the Carisle band and songs were sung by a ihorus of ladies, all of which was in ceeping with the spirit of the day. )Id southern melodies were played md sung bringing back to the memov of the veterans the days of long -go. A reading by Mrs. Glenn Cope was greatly enjoyed, and was given in a nanner that touched a responsive hord in all those present. Rev. Mr. Snvder'-s address was one >f the finest ever heard on a memoial occasion in Bamberg. At times; Jr. Snyder reached heights of elo[uence that touched the heartstrings if the loyal southerner. He took for lis theme the life of the south's greatest hero and America's forenost Christian character of the nineeenth century, Robert E. Lee. Mr. >nyder said that the purest type of nanhood and Christianity in the vrorld today is found in the south, ind while much of the world today las forgotten God there are those n the south who are striving to keep Jive those traditions of the old Christian faith as nowhere else may >e found. So long as the people of he south, while the world is going nad, will lay aside the duties of life md assemble to pay homage to the leroes of the 60's, the spirit of the outh is safe. The speaker said that his task was tot to laud the military genius of the outh, great as it is, but his message rould be from the life of the great eader of the Confederacy. He felt hat Lee was looking down from the pirit world Tuesday, a,nd if he could peak his message would be the same :s his life taught. A beautiful tri >ute was paid to Lee, and the speakir said that the life of this beloved haracter furnished an example for roung men that will endure for ages, attention was called to the personal raits of the great leader, such as Lis close attention to details, his lack if flattery, his tolerance, his perseverance, and, greatest of all, his love md faith in God. The closing prayer was offered by lev. S. O. Cantey, after which "Dixe" was played by the band, and the reterans were invited up into the ;ourt room, where they were served vith a bountiful dinner. Mother's Day at Baptist Curch._ Last Sunday being mothers' day, tppropriate services were held at the 3aptist church. The regular mornng service partook of the nature of ;he spirit of the day, and the pastor reached from the subject, "Mary, ;he mother of Jesus." The Sunday school also carried out ;he general idea, though there were 10 special mothers' day exercises. The Jongs were selected with special reference to "mother," and all the congregation were given white or red lowers indicating that the wTearer's mother was living or had passed to :he great beyond. m <m m Fairfax 10, Ehrhardt 9.

V H. F. Bamberg, one of Bamberg's most extensive planters, has no very J exalted opinion of our common enemy | the boll weevil. Mr. Bamberg is very J decidedly of the opinion that the ^ farmer who depends on cotton this | year is not going to live in the land J of milk and honey next fall. i | While the planting of a variety of crops is a difficult operation in this < i territory on account of the lack of j marketing facilities, Mr. Bamberg has 4 prepared well for having something to eat on his place for himself and his tenants. Looking to this end he has planted two and one-half acres of mM rice, .enough wheat to supply his farm with flour, and two acres of Irish po- H tatoes, in addition to the usual crops l||f of corn, peas, sweet potatoes, sugar ^ cane, etc. , He says that he does not expect to W make possibly any profit on these crops, but his family and the families of his farm hands can eat them. He ^ is relying very largely for a money \ crop this season on tobacco. Of the weed he has thirty acres. He reports his tobacco crop as being fine, though in need right now of some til warm weather, and that his grain ^ crops are the finest he has grown in many years. ^ j J Closing of Frazier Excelsior Acad- A emy, Bamberg, May 15, 16, 17 and ^ 18.
