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.
Good horse races are always in-;

horses in the county. Owners of
such are cordially invited to list
their winners with the chairman of
the racing committee, J. J. Smoak.
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.
The people need something to take
their minds off their troubles, and
this will afford them the opportunity
to forget that cotton ever existed and
all come together in Bamberg to have
a good time for a few days.
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.
Owing to the shortness of
time and lack of information concerning
such exhibits, the committee
will be unable this year to provide
cages for poultry. Another year this
will be properly attended to. If you
have some good stock, fine poultry,
I ffood farm produce, etc., and of
course you have?everybody most

Bamberg during the big days?November

There is going to be a good enter!
tainment for everybody, and the
week should prove a profitable one
for the farmers. The marketing
committee announces that it has already
received inquiries concerning
several items of farm produce, of
which there is a plentiful supply in
this county, and that farmers should i
list at once ail they have to offer
with the committee. Note the advertisement
in this issue of The Herald.'
All who wish to either sell orj
exchange farm products may see the
committee at once. The entire com-1
mittee is at the command of the!
farmers, and no charges are made for j
any information or for listing their j
products, and no commissions arej
charged, and %11 services are entirely
free.
amusement and criticism was attached
to this election, as it was the first
since the ladies had voted in the
town. But, as usual, they rose gracefully
to the occasion, as if they had
always been voting. The following
ticket was elected: Mayor, W. A.
Fickling; wardens, A. B. Hair, C. R.
Boylston, C. J. Fickling, Frank Walker.

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

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.

(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,

e back he was the mainstay of his
is team. Time and again Otto plunged

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. Your t
work shall not die." s
When the cheering which greeted
I this statement had subsided, Mr. Wil. s
I son made his first public , utterance d
since he was taken ill more than two a
years ago.

I "I wish i naa voice enougu iu ic^i/ >

joint involved. Incessant prayer .to

issential, and the people were urged

Mr. Davis earnestly asked the
Christians of the entire town to join

and presence. He stated
hat he would not know how to con- *
