Farmers Should L I at Once fo f Plans for the holding of Bamberg's big gala week?Farmers' Ex^ change Week?are fast taking shape, and the entertainment and arrangement committees announce that without question the occasion is going to ibe a big event in this section of the y state. The entertainment committee announces definitely that the first day will be featured by a big free community barbecue. Twentv-five ni^s and calves are being secured to feed ifche multitudes. Those who have tasted real old-fashioned barbecue know what such an announcement as this means. The committee is now in | communication with the best 'cue i manager in this section, and he is ex|| pected to be here to superintend the V barbecuing itihe meat. The barbecue will merely start the affair to going right. Following in close succession, there will be various entertainments for the people. The price of cotton and the presence of the boll weevil will be forgotten lor a few days during the Farmers' Exchange Week. A game of foot ball is being ar iuciwccu aumo guuu icaus xui ; one day of the week. Mayor Thomas has promised a free motion picture matinee every afternoon, at which special pictures will be shown. Midway attractions of the innocent kind jk are being arranged for. In this connection the committee wishes it stated that no indecent shows or attrac tions will be allowed. One of the big features of the week will be the school day, during which there will be a monster parade of scfhool children. Another big feature will be the annual exhibition of the women's home demonstration clubs of the county, which is always an occasion to startle the people with a r . realization of the wonderful possibilities of the :great American home.

The people of the county or neighboring territory are cordially invited to cooperate to make this week the best occasion of the sort in the south.

Exhibits of farm produce, live stock, poultry, canned goods, antiques, etc., are invited. Pens will be provided for stock, while poultry exhibitors are asked to bring their exhibits properly prepared for exhibition.

Colston Community Fair a Big Succes Colston is a fine progressive con munity, and as an evidence of th? progressiveness a splendid commun ty fair was held in the school lious there on Friday of last week. Th entire affair was nicely conducted, magnificent success, and the goo people of that section deserve muc credit for their achievement. Th exhibits were excellent and the folk of the neighborhood concerned nc oniy saoweu wuai uuuiu uv, ut displayed a just sense of pride i their surroundings, and also the fac that still nobody can get away froi Colston indebtedno 'his stomach, fc the delicious things to eat were v* ried and plentiful, both quantity an quality being there. The exhibits were neatly arrange in the school building. There wer probably twenty Or more of them, ir eluding specimens from the crops c that section, and they were we worth seeing, all varieties of canne goods put up, as only the good ladie of Colston can put them up, catth swine and poultry, some fried, som otherwise, and everything being hig class. The display of antique ot jects was interesting and strikin? There were beautiful home mad quilts woven by hand some fift years or more ago by members of Ch McMillan family of the Colston core munity. Probably one of the hanc somest exhibits was the . lovel French opera cape imported into thi country from France more than hundred years ago, and now th property of Mrs. J. Calvin McMillai There were numerous old relics, on being a horn over two hundred year old. The fair was opened with an af propriate prayer led by the Rev. Mi Etheredge, of the Ehrhardt Methc dist church. A short talk was mad by Mayor LaVerne Thomas, of Bam berg. Afterwards the speaker of th day, George K. Winters, formerly o the west, but now connected with th extension department of Clemsoi college, was introduced, and Mr. Win ters made an interesting and higihl instructive address on farming unde boll weevil conditions. His sugges tions appeared to be mighty well pu and unusually timely, far above th average of anything generally heard and such teachings are exactly wha is needed in this unfortunate sectio: now. Mr. Winters will accordingl return to Bamberg during Farmers Exchange Week and favor us with a: address here on Wednesday, Novem Der 30th. The Colston folks should be ea couraged in their good beginning Affairs of this kind are to be high! commended and much benefit as we] as pleasure is expected to result fror them as they blossom and quickl develop into a big county fair. REDUCTION PARLY OPENED SATURDAY Washington, Nov. 12.?More dras tic and far reaching than the mos ardent advocate of disarmamen dared to hope, America's proposal were suddenly laid before 'the arm conference today at its first sessio: by Secretary Hughes. A ten year naval holiday is th proposal in short, and the Unitei States, Great Britain and Japan sha] scrap 66 capital ships aggregating 1, 878,043 tons. Within three months after the con elusion of an agreement, the Unite States would nave i? capital snips Jreat Britain, 22, and Japan, ten. Th tbnnage of the three nations, respec tively, .would under such a plan b 500,650, 604,450 and 299,700. Ships, when 20 years old, might b replaced under the plan, and the re placement scheme is 500,000 tons fo the United States, 500,000 tons fo Great Britain and 300,000 tons fo Japan. No replacement ship coul exceed 35,000 tons. The United States would scrap 3 capital ships aggregating 843,74 tons; Great Britain, 19 aggre^atin 583,375 tons, and Japan, 17. aggre gating 338,928 tons. "Very Drastic," Says Kato. Characterized by Baron Kato, th chief Japanese delegate, as "ver drastic," but probably suitable as basis for discussion, and by Mr. Bal four, head of the British delegatior as a "statesmanlike utterance, preg nant with infinite possibilities an most hopeful of satisfactory results, the American proposal, concrete an detailed, fell on the opening moment of the great conference like a bomi shell. The foreign delegates wer stunned. No other word describe their feelings. Porter Trims Carlisle s by Score of 35 to 7 1- With, the right to contest wit'h it Bailey -Military Institute of Greeni wood at stake for the preparatory ie school foot ball championship of e South Carolina, the elevens from a Porter Military academy, ct Charcf leston and Carlisle school of Bamh berg grappiod n a desperate tne counter on the gridiron at Rhoad -S Park in this city last Friday after)t nnnn The advance done on the lt Charleston cadets had them heralded n as boasting of a flashy back field with mighty scoring powers, and a Porter 11 enthusiast had spread the rumor >r abroad that the Purple Hurricane, as l~ their foot ball team is nicknamed, d would bring an adding machine and possibly a staff of expert accountd ants to Bamberg to keep an accurate e | tally of the points run up on the local l~ cadets. A review of the game shows ^ that these back field stars acquitted 11 themselves as their supporters had d predicted, for the Episcopalians !S trotted oft with the lond end of a So to 7 score. Thus Carlisle was praee tically eliminated from the race for h the state title or from a just claim )- to state honors. The game was bet ?* | ter handled than any foot ball cone test ever played in Bamberg, and * Referee Van Metre in particular was e thoroughly competent and kept L~ things moving. l~ Although the Methodist lads fought J gamely against overwhelming odds g and gave an especially good account of themselves in the first half, the 0 | experience and speed of the visitors l" i were too much for them, and they 6 ? | were outplayed and outgeneraled. S ' j Porter's fierce drives and terrific onI slaughts were not to be denied, and i the savage plunges and sensational " running of their great back field led i by Watts at quarter, Middlekauff at j full and Sanders at half back threw ' i a complete rout into uoacn u-auirs -1 boys after the first few minutes of the 'I ; I third quarter, and they steadily batj tered their way to three touchdowns. Q v I The Carlisle line could not hold and ' withstand the powerful punones against it and the home lads made painfully few neat tackles. t Carlisle acted with true southern e hospitality and really presented the i visitbrs with the game in the first 1 half when by erroneous acts of omisQ sion and commission they donated y two touchdowns to the purple jer j.! seyed boys and refused to take adQ 1 vantage of two excellent opportunities to score as many for themselves. The first quarter ended in a zero _ deadlock. Then with little more than ^ a minute to play and the ball near y midfield Carlisle permitted a Porter [j man to :get away off to himself unq covered, receive a forward pass, usuy ally /fatal on a play of that kind, and go for an easy touchdown. Then with nothing left to do except for Porter to kick off and the home hopes to receive they unfortunately let the ball sail over their own goal line and although nobody touched it t a Porter man fell on it for another t touchdown. In the same half Car' lisle had the first touchdown cf the game cinched on a forward pass over _ ' their opponents' goal line right in I Cantey's arms, but in some manner ' he successfully managed to drop it. ! Ow onn/Jiflr rwonocir>n townrrlc flip first d V,U ? (1 of the game the Mehodists had the ball on the visitors' one yard line and a home player negligently caus_ ed a penalty of 15 yards to be asd sessed against his team which in all probability cost them a touchdown, g Neither team appears to have a particularly strong line; Carlisle's is ' woefully weak when pitted against such backs as Watts, Middlekauff and Sanders, who simply could not be stopped in the third and ifourth period's. Shortly after the kick off at the beginning of the third period Carlisle marched the ball rapidly down the field to Porter's one yard line where quarterback Smith bucked it over for their only touchdown, and ~ Large kicked the goal, wut irora that second on it was Porter's day to fr a heart-rending extent. The winners hurled almost deadly assault after assault into the fast weakening line of Carlisle for substantial and e long gains. And towards the close y Carlisle opened up a dashing aerial a attack, shooting forward pass after 1- forward pass in rapid succession in a l, vain attempt to check the onrushing and certain tides of defeat, d For the losers Large was the " bright particular star of the day, esd pecially on the defensive. Some of ;s his tackles were high and ragged, )- but in carrying the ball from full e back he was the mainstay of his is team.

Earnest prayers have been j * made for the success of the revival. c This is Mr. Davis's second appear-1 t ance in revival in Bamberg. A little ( more than two years ago he did the ? preaching at one of the greatest re- * vivals ever held in the Baptist 1 eVmroh There were 78 additions to' * the church as a result of that revival, j * Monday evening, the service was J 1 more in the nature of preparation for the revival, which is to continue 1 for some days. Two services are held j < daily at 10:30 a. m., and 7:30 p. m.,j * to which everybody regardless of de- * nomination is most cordially invited. I The text for Monday evening se- t lected by Mr. Davis was from Jere- 1 miah 33:3, "Call unto Me, and I will r answer thee, and show thee great and ' * mighty things, which thou knowest | ? not." The subject was in the nature * of three questions: Shall we have I a revival? If so, why? and how? t The first question, said the speaker, ? was already answered, yes. t The reasons why a church should have a revival were discussed, and t Mr. Davis said that revivals are nec- 1 essary in order that the church i c * DEMONSTRATION ALUifi FOR WOODROW WILSON. .Washington, Nov. 11.?Former President Wilson made his first pub- , lie appearance today since he left the White House, riding in the fun- } eral procession for the unknown dead y soldier and later greeting a crowd gathered at his home. ( Everywhere Mr. Wilson was given j a demonstration When his carriage entered the floral line at the foot g of the capitol hill he was greeted u - 1- ? - | with a fluttering or nanaKercnieis a ; and then with handclapping and | cheering which continued until he y left the line after passing the White ,j House, where he exchanged salutes with President Harding. w The demonstration at his home was of greater proportion. It was ar- <3 ranged as a non-partisan affair by a i committee of seven women for whom 1 Hamilton Holt, of New York, was c spokesman. I "We congratulate you, a wounded soldier of the world war, on your re- e gaining health," Mr. Holt said to the \ former president who had come to a the front portico of his 'home to re- \ ceive the committee. "We pledge t you our honor and respect.

Incessant prayer .to >od for His blessings and power is issential, and the people were urged o lift up their voices to God in sarnest supplication that the Word night be preached with power and iffectiveness. Mr. Davis earnestly asked the Christians of the entire town to join n the service with their prayers, co>peration and presence.
