BUILDING. ^ Baptist Congregation Takes Steps to Provide More Facilities. Last Sunday the morning preaching hour at the Baptist church was devoted to a discussion of the needs for additional Sunday school facilities of the Baptist church, and at the conclusion of the exercises a short business conference of the church membership was held at which it : was decided to appoint a committee to secure preliminary plans and estimates on the cost of the erection of a modern Sunday school building. A i ?. i motion had previously been unani- ^ mously passed to undertake the work! j I of constructing such a building. This committee is to report back to the church as soon as possible, when final action will be taken on the matter. During the morning worship hour a number of the officers and workers of the Sunday school gave expression, to the needs of more Sunday school rooms. It was stated that the school had long ago outgrown its quarters and that it was impossible to continue the work under favorable conditions unless additional facilities are provided. At present, it was stated, it is necessary for five of the Sunday school classes to hold their meetings in the church auditorium; that the primary department, which has quarters in the old parsonage building, is cramped and crowded and there is no room for needed expansion. In order to relieve the situation it is necessary, it was said, to provide some ten or twelve additional class rooms. No idea was given as to the approximate cost of such improvements, though the pastor expressed his views of the needs by saying that it would probably require a modern two-storv Sunday school building to meet the demands of the school. The committee is to secure estimates a' once and as soon as this is done it is expected that steps will be taken to finance the project. -(r=? I BASE COLUMBIA TEAM COMING. Sally League Leaders Play Bamberg Here on July 28. Arrangements nave been perrectea for a game of base ball between the Bamberg team and the Columbia South Atlantic League team on Thursday, July 28. The manager of I the local team has been in correspondence for some dfcys past with the Columbia aggregation in an effort to book a game with the Sally leaders, and on Monday last the acceptance of the booking was received from the Columbia manager. The Columbia team had an open date for July 28, and a number of : teams in the state was endeavoring to secure an engagement. The Columbia manager wrote the Bamberg manager that the pep and progres-! ? ? nromnwotifin Tf a C SIVentJSS UL iuc iuk.ai ,. ?w j attractive and formed the deciding j point for accepting the Bamberg engagement. The Columbia team is leading all the clubs of the South Atlantic j league. Up to Monday the Columbia j club.had won 51 games and lost 23, j the nearest competitor for the Sally | pennant being Charleston with 47 games won to 30 lost. Columbia; seems almost certain to win the j league championship again this year, j This is the third big game sched-j uled in Bamberg within the past year, j Last summer the Bamberg club played the Charleston South Atlantic, league team, but rain interfered I after a few innings and tne game had i to be called. In April of this year. the Rochester Internationals and the j Boston Americans played on the j Bamberg diamond. It is expected that the game here | on the 28th will bring the biggest! crowd ever seen at a game in this city. The low admission price of 50c and 75c insures a big attendance. The admission was fixed at this price, in order that everybody might see the: game. The game has been extensive- j ly advertised throughout several1 counties adjoining Bamberg, and i Ap + P^Am ApllAT* fliaA. ! 11U11U1 CU5 yj L UOlbUXO 11UUI u iuv,i ovv- I tions are expected to come here to! see the big game. Bamberg is getting its team in shape to give the visitors an interesting time, and while it is barely possible that Bamberg will trim the Columbia leaders, the visitors will leave; Bamberg knowing that this town has a regular ball team. .m mi m ^ Ehrhardt Winner 4 1.

Allendale Wins Again. : \ The best game of the season came about on Wednesday afternoon when the Bamberg aggregation came over for another drubbing.

Bamberg team as The Bamberg Herald is so good at this, as shown by the write-up of the game played there last week at which time the Allendale team won by a score of 5 to 3. At the game here on Wednesday there were several things worth mentioning and they will be mentioned. One important matter is that Laurens Youmans pitched one of the greatest games of his career letting the visitors down with four hits. Warren proved himself worthy of the' name he has been given, "Hard Luck," by losing a beautifully pitched game. He was relieved in the ninth by Whitesides who let the locals win the game by giving Lanier the opportunity of hitting one out in the infield far I ~ Vi?.'n(r in fVia ttt, nn in or Til n I CliUUgil tU U1 iug in tiiw niuuiu^ * uu. j And by the way-this fellow Lanier | gets credit for winning the game and i deserves it. By a long hit into right field in the sixth inning he brought in two runs thus making, with the one brought in the ninth by his trusty stick a total of three runs, which were sufficient to win as the Bamberg crew had only been able to get two. j At last but by no means least the game was featured by having in the line-up of the local aggregation, Tom McMillan, late of the Charleston S. A. L. team, at present a prominent attorney of Charleston and a member of the. house of representatives from unaneston county, rom got two cieau hits and made several brilliant catches in left field.?Allendale Citizen.

Monday morning Mayor LaVerne Thomas tried a number of cases, pass ing oui nuerai nnes, or iue equivalent of days. Court is held regularly ] now only on Monday morning, and usually there is a number to answer to various charges. Alex Hiers was handed out a sentence of $5.00 for drunk and disorderly conduct. Jasper Kearse, for the same offense forfeited.a bond of $10.00. Adell Brabham, a negress. charged with fighting and disorderly conduct, was given a fine of $5.00. Two interesting cases were those of George Wilson and Carrie Jackson, who were charged with violation of the city liquor ordinance. The two defendants were tried last week by Mayor Protem M. G. Cooner, who gave each a fine of $25. A new trial was asked and granted by Mr. Cooner and the cases were tried again last Monday morning before Mayor Thomas. Chief Moody testified that he visited the home of Wilson and found a quantity of huckleberries in a tub and that he was told the berries we^e V.?ki?rr intn Ti-iro T'Vio foetimnnv liiauc 1UIU ?t iUt. i. iiv of the chief was not challenged, but Wilson's attorney argued that the written charge against his client was storing alcoholic liquid and that he could not have been guilty of storing before the liquid was made; that the city ordinance did not have the seal affixed, according to state law, at the time the offence was alleged to have been committed; that the city ordinance was in conflict with the state law, inasmuch as there is a state law* permitting the making of not exceeding five gallons of wine for home consumption, and that this law has not been repealed. The Jackson case was also tried last week, and a new trial granted. This case involved practically the same points as the Wilson case. In rendering' his decision in the two cases, Mayor Thomas said that the points raised were, in his opinion, mere technicalities, and that he would fine each of the parties $50.00, with the alternative of serving thirty days. Notice of appeal to the higher court was given, and bond furnished until the case is heard. Weevils and Moss in Stored Grain. As a result of recent inquiries I , am releasing the following article for the benefit oi all parties concerned: Considerable damage is done to stored grains by grain weevils and moths attacking rye, wheat, corn, peas, etc. Control measures are easy and inexpensive where the grain is stored in tight bins, rooms, cribs or boxes. Fumigate with carbon-disulphide at the rate of one pound to 40 bushels of grain if stored in air tight receptacles and five to fifteen pounds -? ?i? ji?1 Ann OI caruuii uisuiyuiuc pci com x,wuv , cubic feet of space, depending on the tightness of the crib. Carbon-disulphide costs 50 cents per pound and can be secured from your local druggist. It comes as a liquid and when released turns to a gas that is heav ier than air; thus driving out the air . and to be effective all doors and cracks must be closed. < It is explosive like gasoline and all , lights and fires should be carefully guarded against. Livestock should not be quartered in buildings where j fumigation is in progress. CarbOndisulnhide is not poisonous.?J. D.

C. Taylor, superintendent of the Yorkville Oil Mill, charging ma- ' licious mischief. Taylor denies poisoning Roth's chickens, but claims that he did throw some dough over on the Roth side of the fence that the chick- , ens might be attracted to it and incidentally taught to stay at home. Incidentally Taylor comes back with the charge that Roth's son, Louis, got the i Taylor s,oat by pouring gasoline on it ] and then setting it on fire. John R. 'Hart, Esq?, represents Taylor. The matter is scheduled for an airing in Magistrate Fred Black's court as soon as the court of general sessions is over.

Report of Activities of Demonstration Work for June. Henry S. Johnson, of Aiken, district agent of the farm demonstration work, has submitted the following report to the legislative delegation from Bamberg county of the work of the , county farm demonstration agent, John D. Brandon, for the month of June: "I am sure you will be interested in t ic Kniof rannrt nf tlia TrnrL- nf your county agent, John D. Brandon, for the month of June. Mr. Brandon was away on annual leave one week so that this report will simply he a brief digest of his weekly reports for the three weeks period in which he was on active duty. "During this time Mr. Brandon made 61 visits to men and three visits to boys, and traveled 404 miles in the interest of demonstration work. Assistance was given at two meetings which were attended by 125 people. Three articles relative to local agricutural problems were published in the local papers. 155 bulletins on boll weevil control were mailed to individual farmers. "Mr. Brandon reports that he was able to be of real service in the mat ter of grading and packing cucumbers and in handling watermelons for disease and in the matter of other truck crops. "One moving picture was shown at Bamberg and Denmark and information thus given as to the use of calcium arsenate for boll weevil control. The large attendance of farmers is an evidence of Interest in this question. "Perhaps the outstanding feature of the month was the splendid control work in the hog cholera outbreak around Lees. There have been seven outbreaks in Bamberg county so far this year, and in each case Mr. Brandon has been able to check the outbreak. At Lees, Mr. Brandon inoculated 313 hogs for 35 farmers and thus saved farmers in the county a' great loss. "I hav$ given only a brief report I but perhaps it will serve to keep you posted as to the work of this county officer, your county agent." Apollo Music Club. The Apollo Music club was delightfully entertained Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. H. Henderson.

New Orleans.?The captain of a ship had some Scotch in his cabin and wanted to transfer it to a thirsty family in the best part of the city, but customs officers barred the way. Then a taxi was backed up against the wha^f. The steward received orders frc:o the bridge to produce the ship's cat in a sack. The old man hadn't got off the gangplank before he was pounced upon by a customs man. "Wotcha got in that sack?" he asked. "A cat," was the reply. "Let's have a look at it," persisted the law. The bag was opened and out hopped Thomas and scuttled back aboard. The captain chased after it. Presently he appeared with the sack. "Didya get him?" asked the customs man. "I sure did and he won't get away again," was the reply. "Sorry to give you all that trouble, captain, but duty is duty, sir." "Don't mention it; I admire you for it. What the service wants is more men like you," said the?skipper, as he climbed aboard the taxi with his sack, which this time, instead of a cat, contained three bottles of Scotch.?New York World. * PROGRAMME ' Of Union At Georges Creek Church JuJy 30th-31st. | Saturday. 10:30 a. m.?Devotional, led by pastor. 11a. m.?Sermon by C.

I The girl who escaped from the * a hoopskirt, the maiden who insisted 1 on squeezing out of a tight bodice, the J Turkish woman who uncovered her ^ face, the Chinese girl who a few years back fought to grow up with her feet comfortable unbound,, and the girl who is now earning her own pocket money, and more? all are looking down toward Hartford, Conn. Executives of a large company in the Insurance City have just started a war against girls who choose to bob their hair. "Although a young woman may have the best of references .and be eminently qualified for the position," says a business man, "her , bobbed head is against her." For some time the bobbed head has been coming into vogue. In some factories and plants, around whirling wheels, girls see much to recommend '( it. If the girl in Bohemia flaunted m it, lilC gill Ull LUC Cduipus VI WUU1CU a colleges adopted it in keeping with her sensible athletics and her bloomers. j Men at one time wore their hair ; long; at other times they wore wigs. The prevaling style seems to be copied from the prize ring, but no office * has issued" orders for a change.The flurry for bobbed hair among girls may be a fad; it may be something .more; but the business men of Hartford will probably discover that in either case the woman of today decides these things for herself. ?Mr. and Mrs. LaVerne Thomas ^ and children returned Saturday from 1 K Florence, where they spent a few X weeks with relatives.
