The public is cordially invited to come and bring well filled baskets. Most of the oat crop of the county has been harvested, and the crop generally appears to have been good. The acreage in oats and other grain is much larger this year than usual; in fact, it appears that the planters of the county will have grain for sale this year. A cool spell struck town Monday, and Monday night sent folks scurrying after the covering that had been laid aside or packed away during the warm preceeding days. The thermometer suffered a considerable drop, all of which, the farmers say, is bad on the crops. The warehouse of Thomas Ducker, formerly occupied by the Gulf Refin-j ing Co., has been rented to Kirsch j Bros., of this city, for a wholesale j establishment. The warehouse has j been remodeled and fitted for the | business, whicb will be operated by C. O. and Norman Kirsch. The Baptist Woman's Missionary society will meet ak follows next Wednesday at 5 p. m.: Circle No. 1 with Miss Margaret Jennings; circle No. 2 with Mrs. J. H. Murphy; circle No. 3 with Mrs. M. E. Ayer. A full attendance of members is urged, and visitors are cordially invited. ' The garage and sales room recently erected on Railroad avenue by J. J. Smoak for James T. Burch & Co., have been completed. The building j is of brick and galvanized iron, and is i a most attractive establishment. The floor is concreted, and wide display windows are placed in front. A troop of boy scouts from Colum- j bia passed through Bamberg Tuesday i en route to Bluffton, where they will; / camp'for a while. A large number j of boys was in the troop, and they! were traveling by bicycle, motorcycle\ and automobile. Ten of , the boys were making the trip on wheels. The Bamberg tobcaco market is expected to open about the tenth of Tuitr "Rnth lnf.fll warehouses will soon clear the decks for action. About j nine hundred bales of cotton are; stored in the tobacco warehouses, and | the owners are somewhat put to it! to know what disposition to make of it/ One of the largest insurance deals Bamberg has put across was recently negotiated by one . of the local agencies. A gentleman from another j town came here and asked to be \ "written up" for $100,000. The agency could not handle the entire amount and had to call in assistance from another agent. Jt is stated that the amount may be be increased to $200,000. J. H. Hutto said yesterday that a log had been sawed at his mill from j which several pounds of bullets of i all calibres had been extracted. The ! log was cut from a tree that had re-! cently been killed by lightning, and 1 during its career had been located in \ a convenient place for target prac-j tice. It is said that the tree had fur-! nished the background for many target contests in past years. Apollo Music'Club Entertained. Nasturtiums decorated the home of Mrs. R. C.

(By R. P. Bellinger.) Last Friday, June 3rd, was the birthday of the first and only president of our Confederacy. And the Barnwell and Bamberg base ball teams both proved conclusively that they remembered history and realized that it was a holiday. These teams met at Rhoad park in this city and staged a sure enough celebration for the holiday, the festivities ranging all the way from the Rip Van Winkle stunts to several balloon ascensions. . It was a weird exhibition advertised to be a ball game, but an honest lawyer couldn't conscientiously call it such, for it wasn't. Both clubs displayed the purest unselfish motives of brotherly love and deliberately passed the affair over to each other on silver platters. The only redeeming feature to this kindergarten affair was that after doing the hospitable stuff as home folks and presenting it to the visitors the local lads in the 9th and 10th in nings gracefully accepted it back, tucked it under their shirts and trotted from the park with it to their credit. But even at that they didn't deserve much credit and didn't even deserve the game, for Barnwell outplayed hem, outfielded them and outbatted them. The exhibition wasn't worth a long article, and if at any time in this article it is referred to as a ball game please pardon the writer for this is written in haste. In the second and third innings the home boys, eight or ten of them, while engaged in some Rip Van Winkle exercises, divided among themselves the proposition as to which should finish in nightmares and leave the balance for the balloon ascensions. And again in the eighth a few of them conducted themselves in such a manner as to lead spectators to feel that a little more sleep at night and a little less on the ball field would produce better results. Not to be outdone, however, the Barnwell fellows came back and gave up the ghost in the ninth and tenth innings when Pate's support cracked and he became as weak as a glass of dairy milk bought at a Columbia restaurant aii? about as ineffective as a cancelled revenue stamp. Warren did not pitch a bad game; he walked one, gave up eight hits and fanned nine batsmen. Sad story, but Bamberg made eight rotten errors. Barnwell made six. Barnwell pitchers issued three passes, gave up seven hits and struck out seven men. The hitting stars were Warren, who se * <" i_:? cured three singles in nve ines, auu Gregory for Barnwell, who got two singles and a double in five times up. The good Lord knows there were no fielding lights. Barnwell scored thrice in the second, twice in the third and once in the eighth. With the count 6 to 0 against them in the last half of the ninth the locals tied it and by "Nigger" luck won out ni the tenth, the final score being 7 to 6. In the tenth Pate was replaced in the box by Monte Preacher, who had the audacity to groove one to Warren with Capt. Bamberg on third. That spelled good night. Score by innings: R H E Bamberg 0000000061?7 7 8 Barnwell 0320000100?6 8 6 Batteries?Warren and Cooner; Pate, Preacher and Hale. WiiHsfnn Wins Tuesday. In a fast and snappy game at Williston Tuesday afternoon, Williston trounced Bamberg to the tune of 4 to 0. The feature of the game was the pitching and batting of Gillman, of .Augusta, who played with the local team last year. The Bamberg team was weakened by the absence of Cooner, the regular catcher. Large j had to be called in from second to do the catching, and Charlie Rentz from left field to play second.

Harvesting of the Weed Begun Last Monday Morning. Harvesting of the 19 21 tobacco crop was started Monday morning. Several farmers in the Bamberg community began the work of cutting nad curing, and Monday night tobacco fires were seen in various sections-. Sheriff Ray and Dr. Black were among those starting harvesting work Monday. While this curing is a little earlier than usual, the crop is found to be maturing slightly early this season. 1 lie lODacco crop generally throughout the county is reported as being a little disappointing. Up to two or three weeks ago the prospects were very favorable for a fine crop, but it is said that tobacco has gone backward recently, and that the crop that was expected the first of the spring will not be realized. There is no indication yet what prices will be realized this year, though it appears to be the general belief that good tobacco will bring a good price, as was the case last last vear. On account of this fact, * \ the planters are preparing ro use their best endeavors to cure their crops well this season. It appears that the country is over-supplied with low grade tobacco, but that there is a scarcity of the finer grades. Last season, it will be recalled, those planters who were fortunate in curing their crops well made a fine profit on their tobacco acreage, while the less successful ones perhaps uniformly lost money. # With the experience of the past three years behind them, it is generally believed that the county will offer the tobacco trade a much finer quality of the weed this year than it previously has. The acreage in tobacco this year is said to be equally as large as last year, and perhaps slightly larger. PROMINENT SPEAKERS. Will Address Ehrhardt Meeting in Interest of Baptist Life. A group meeting in the interest of Baptist life and activities will be held at the Ehrhardt Baptist church on j Tuesday, June 14th. Speakers on the programme for this occasion are: Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president Limestone j college, Gaffney; Dr. C. A. Jones, secretary of the educational commission, Baptist state convention; Dr. C. E. Burts, general secretary-treasurer Baptist general board, and Dr. R. G. Lee, pastor First Baptist church, Chester. The meeting will be called to order at 10:30 a. m. This meeting is to be held in the interest of general church and associational efficiency and community service. The great subjects of Christian education, kingdom opportunity and responsibility will be discussed in an able manner by the speakers mentioned. The meeting will be made devotional and there will be a service of song at each session. Dinner will be served on the ground. The Baptist churches contiguous to Ehrhardt are requested to send full representation and the public generally is invited. The meeting will be both instructive and inspirational, and the day will be one of delightful and helpful fellowship. Hog Cliolera on rhe Increase. Hog cholera is on the increase in Bamberg county says John D. BranJ " o oront TirVlrt I UUn, CUUIiUy U-tTi-UUilO Li auuu a^cui, ?? . adds: "The situation looks as if we might expect trouble ahead. Some have experienced trouble and considerable losses already. I have checked seven outbreaks up to date and seven more than what we had up to this date last year. A warm winter and increased activities in shipping, along with an increase in hog population is partly responsible for the increase in the number of outbreaks. Some of the other causes, says Mr. Brandon, and ones easily remedied, are poor sanitation, worms, improper feeds, carelessness with regard to sick hogs and allowing dead animals to remain around the premises. Mr. Brandon says there Is no excuse for continually losing hogs from j ~1J -P ? niftfn n* otnVi io L-or>t nn tho CUUICJ H 11 it uiuoc naiuu io " v. herd for sick animals, and says he is at the service of the people to assist them in any way possible. In addition there is a veterinarian at ! Blackville, whose business it is to visit any farmer, free of charge, when they have sick hogs, and diagnose the case. Since the success of the serum treatment depends on a correct diagnosis, it goes without saying that the failure to recognize the true ailment causes considerable loss in herds from improper treatment, to say nothing of the lowering of prestige and confidence in the efforts to control cholera. All cases of sickness should be reported to Mr. Brandon for a correct diagnosis. A postal card addressed to him at Bamberg, or the veterinarian at Blackville will bring either or both of them to the assistance of any farmer. HEAL ESTATE DEALS.

Beautiful Annual Issued by the Students of Carlisle. "The Palmdfto," the annual issued Uy lne SluueUL uuu^ ui uauisic s^uuui, under the direction of Capt. Wm. R. Watson and faculty associates, was forwarded to the subscribers last week. Owing to unavoidable delay, the annual was not completed in time to distribute before the school closed. The annual is. a most creditable enterprise and reflects great credit on those responsible for the work. The book, containing* about 100 pages, contains a picture description, with descriptive notes, of the various activities of the school. It is gotten up in a most attractive manner, and is a splendid advertisement for the progressive spirit of Carlisle. This being the first annual issued by the students of Carlisle, the credit for its success is all the greater. MISS LOUISE JENNY. Beloved Young Fairfax Woman Died Last Thursday. Miss Louise Jenny, a member of the tenth grade of the Fairfax school and one of the most popular young ladies of that town, died at her home last Thursday after an illness of only one week. The young lady contracted a serious illness and all medical skill could not combat the dreadful consequences. She was struck down in the moment of her triumph and thus South Carolina is blighted because of her going. She was gentle, upright in nature, broad of mind, so sunny and tolerant in temper that not one harsh word rankled in her heart to sour the milk of human kindness. *Miss Louise will be missed not because of the splendor of her intellect, not because of her high culture, but rather on account of her strongly marked moral traits of character. While her death is deeply'deplored, the community rejoices over the com pleteness of her life and iaDors, which, closing together, leave behind them so sweet a fame, and a memory so precious that the town will ever hold her in affectionate remembrance. With her splendid might she had helped to build a happier and more wholesome sentiment among her kind and -in a short struggle against mortal malady she fell, but only after a brave fight. She leaves behind a devoted father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Jenny; two sisters and one brother. The | body was interred in the Fairfax cem| etery last Saturday morning, Revs. Smith, Groseclose, and White officiating. The name of Louise Jenny stands at the top of the list of heroic souls in which one can say no passion ever poisoned her purposes and no vice .ever disturbde the working of her genius. She forsook all possessions to follow Jesus. A child of leisure, she chose to earn tomorrow's bread by today's labor.?Contributed. Invents Eyeless Needle. London.?Two discoveries by members of the London hospital staff are likely to assist in the fight to keep its doors open.' The discoveries, which have both been made after lengthy research and experiment are: An aseptic catgut for use in surgical operations and an eyeless needle that will not tear the skin in stitching a wound.

Denmark, June 4.?A large peanut shelling plant with the most modern machinery will be completed in time to handle this year's crop of peanuts at Denmark. Plans have been perfected by the owners and machinery is expected to arrive at an early date. This concern has headquarters at Suffolk, Ya., and operates other plants of the same kind throughout the south and peanut belt. Denmark was finally selected as the new site and location, due to its unexcelled railroad facilities as a distributing point, as it has three of the principal railroad systems of the south passing through the city. This was X 1. - 1 ^ A C A ^ iU -v /% ??.v\ Ine important iaciur iu tut? new uwtiers' decision to locate here, as it is very advantageous to a manufacturing concern of this kind to have ideal territory to draw on for its raw material and which can be shipped in every dircetion at very moderate freight rates. ' The new plant is to have a capacity to handle and distribute 500 cars of peanuts per year and the new and modern buildings are to be erected and planned in such a manner that additional machinery may be installed with additional buildings as becomes necessary. Besides shelling peanuts, a feed mill will be run in connection with the main plant to utilize the peanut hulls. Rather a large acreage of peanuts was planted in this section last year, and this year the acreage has been doubled. One farmer has 500 acres * i planed to peanuts, he having more than doubled last year's acreage. Hundreds of farmers have plowed up pnriv cotton and planted the cotton acreage to peanuts, as peanuts will mature if planted any time up to June 15. Since the news has spread that the new and modern peanut plant is to locate and be erected in Denmark, many farmers now say that they will plow up all their cotton and plant peanuts instead. The weevil pest has ruined hundreds of farmers so that now many think that a new era has d-awned for them in peanuts. This is the third manufacturing plant that has been secured for Denmark through the efforts of the chamber of commerce within one year, and in a short time Denmark will be recognized as one of the best distributing points for a manufacturer in South Carolina. CROWD GOES TO BLACKVILLE. * Inspiration Meetings Being Held in Interest of Assembly. In furtherance of interest in the Baptist Assembly, which will be held in Greenville two weeks beginning the last of this month, inspiration meetings are being held for a few Sundays in towns in the Barnwell association. Sunday evening, about fifty members of the Bamberg Baptist congregation went to Blackville to join in a meeting at the Blackville church. On the Sunday previous a large delegation from Blackville came down to Bamberg and met with the local Baptist church for the same purpose. The idea is to arouse interest in the assembly in order that a large delegation from this association might attend the various meetings which will be held in Greenville during the ? ~?nntinoro assemuiy mccuugu. Next Sunday the meeting will be held at Williston and on the following Sunday at Barnwell. Plans are discussed at these meetings for attending the assembly, and various phases of the work are spoken of in a manner to arouse interest in them. Culture Club. The Self Culture club met at the home of Mrs. J. F. Carter Saturday afternoon, May 28, with the president presiding. After roll call and reading of the minutes the business of the afternoon was discussed. An unusually attractive programme had been arranged for the afternoon, bearing upon ''Child Welfare," the subject of study for this, the first year of the club. Mrs. W. P. Jones read a paper "The Relation of a Perfect Development of a Child's Apparatus for DiI gesting .Breathing and Acting, to Right Conduct and a Successful Life." I tt?i mi-g tt tst Folk.

McGee, of New Jersey, the guest of Mrs. G. F. Bamberg. * The next meeting of the club will be held on Thursday afternoon at six o'clock at the home of Mrs./ J. D. Copeland, Jr. Pull for Greater Carlisle. i MAX CHASE OX YESTERDAY. _ < Posse Seeks Allen Ginyard for AJleged Housebreaking. \ ? A posse of officers and citizens were yesterday seeking to apprehend Allen Ginyard, a negro, who is charged with housebreaking. Up to the time of going to press Ginyard was still at large. 7 Early Wednesday . morning some m one entered the home of a prominent citizen of Bamberg. The presence of the night prowler was discovered on the awakening of a member of the family, who gave the alarm. The man escaped at the time, however, and a posse of citizens was organized at once. The posse followed the tracks which led to the home of Ginyard, ^ who was called out of his hous? in 1 his night clothes to identify the tracks. During this process, Ginvard madp a break, ran into the house and escaped through the back door, ! it is. said. Shots were fired at him, j evidently not taking effect. A hot chase was led, but Ginyard succeeded in eluding his pursuers,, who were still searching for him yesterday j morning. , A number of entrances to homes in town have been made of late weeks in I a similar manner. Ginyard is said to 9 have served on the chain gang not g many months ago. 9 Burleson's New Job. , ** 18 Washington.?Former Postmaster M General Burleson has a new Job.
