Oth er counties are successfully holding ~ * m1-*~ ?1_ ? - 1 J ?\?ATTA f r\ Vft tllQ 1 flairs, l'nas suuuiu piuvc cv tuw| La1 beginning of the Bamberg -county Today is thanksgiving day. The i ^ president of the United States and , 'n:\- the governor of South Carolina have , issued official proclamations calling V on the people to render thanks totf day for the blessings of the year. Al ii ' though the country, and especially V this section of the country, is in a critical financial condition, nevertheless the blessings received ere al: most too numerous to even imagine. J&nnherg county is indeed fortunate ?v., in many respects. While cotton has been a failure, tobacco almost if not \-!'i quite as much of a failure as cotton, > and all other money crops more or less failures, still the county has pro^ dnced more food and feed crops than perhaps ever before in one year. The ./ danger of want of something to eat is entirely absent from this section. Iv The town of Bamoerg nas aiso receivod a blessing of far more benejsfey fit than a .big cotton crop at good prices could have afford'ed?better 8<" health than usual. Although the fel- - summer rains often bring epidemics of all sorts of diseases, the town has been peculiarly free from disease ' i ^ r. ^durin& the past year. These are some fifes, "of the general blessings which this 1 k section has received. I Week before last ttte new road to Orangeburg was literally deluged with automobiles from this city and* county on their way to the Orange1>urg county fair. On Thursday morning alone a steady stream of ? cars poured in that' direction, and v merely the cars on the roadside berepaired were too numerous to count, to say nothing of the hundreds and hundreds passing by; while * , on the fair grounds it resembled a Igj uam uerg mume vuium^ v> ecu, (jp$ many Bamberg faces were to be seen. ^ Every Orangeburg enterprise receives {f a liberal Bamberg patronage. And from appearances fair week there is Absolutely no earthly reason why fe' Bamberg county should not and f would not support admirably a IJV county 'fair, and its absence denotes a lack of civic pride, hustle, public pi apirit and ability to organize. Coi operation,\t earn work and a pull to^ gather insure in advance the success of any endeavor. A county is no PS . greater in spirit and achievement than the towns and communities 4 wfoich constitute it, and their individnal accomplishments go for naught unless a harmonious combination fbr the advancement of all can be perfected. Let's get together and pull for the uplifting and betterment of , our own eounty, than which there is rw> better in the state.

I New York, Nov. 16.?The Association of Railway Executives, repre-, senting 201 railroads today decided; to put into effect a 1 0 per cent, freight j rate reduction on all farm products,! "as soon as possible." The reduction, it was announced, would not apply to intrastate rates in New England, but would effect freight entering and leaving these states. ! I Announcing the decision, Thomas DeWitt Cuyler. president of the asso-[ ciation, stated that any reduction in such rates made since September 1, 1920, were to be included in the 10 per cent, reduction and that it would be put into effect without waiting for a reduction in wages. The freight rate cut will apply throughout the j entire south except on traffic moving " ?xt T-i "1 ? ? ,1 Tf wnony wumn liugmau. au expected that the new rate would be* effective within ten days as the rail-1 j roads, it was said, have asked the in-' j tersta^e commerce commission.; through their general counsel, to au- j thorize the change on ten days' no-1 tice. The reduction will cost the railroads about $55,000,000, it was esti-J mated. "The railroads have already reduced freight rates substantially, from the level established by the commission in August, 1920," Mr. Cuyler's statement said. "The reductions already made are estimated as accur-i ateiy as can oe, iu iuvui?c a iuas ui revenue at the rate of froih $175,000,000 to $200,000,000 annually. These reductions on many roads represent a loss greater than any corresponding saving realized from reduction in wages already effected. The railroads are furthermore, awaiting decisions of the labor board! which, it is hoped, will relieve the companies of the expense of many onerous and uneconomical working conditions. ?a;ivno^o oro r>rv+ ir? o finnnrMal I ^condition to make this sacrifice. "Unless there should be some revival in business, the probability of which'is conjectural, the entire immediate loss involved in this proposed reduction in rates will be taken from the net earnings of the railroads." Mr. Cuyler said the railroads were relying on the public for aid in bringing about the necessary reductions in labor and other transportation costs and that they hoped for labor cooperation. He declared the railroads had taken the first step to relieve existing business depression and had given an!1 earnest example of their fixed purpose to reduce rates and to relieve at the earliest practicable moment, so far as reasonably possible, the public's transportation burden. \ The new rates are applicable to car loads of w'heat, corn, oats, other grain, flour and meal, hay, straw and alfalfa, manufactured tobacco, cotton, cotton seed, and products, except cottonseed oil and cottonseed meal; citrus fruits, other fresh fruits, pota. /\no a+Vioi< frooVi roP'otQ hloc IVCOi Utu^i 1A vou ? voi?ww V*? fruits and vegetables, horses and mules, cattle and calves, sheep and goats, hogs, poultry, eggs, butter and cheese and wool.

The club was honored by a short talk from Mayor La Verne Thomas in regard to the Farmers' Exchange Week, and some definite arrangements were made as to the part the club will take in helping to make this occasion a great success. Discussion of the bazaar then arose and the different committees were heard from, each reporting much progress. Some lovely articles for the baby booth were exmouea, as well as beautiful fancy work. At the close of the meeting, Miss Jennings assisted by Miss Virgie Folk, served j a delightful salad course and coffee, j Blackville Postmaster. George M. McGruder has been appointed postmaster at Blackville, to succeed B. J. Hammett, who died a few da*s ago. Mr. McGruder's appointment is temporary, and an examination will later be held. l!pon the death of Mr. Hammett, who had served some twenty years, a postoffice inspector visited Blackville and temporarily appointed Mrs. Hammett, wife of the former postmaster, to fill the position until a,reglar appointment could be made. It is stated from Washington that this appointment was overruled, and Mr. McGruder given the appointments \ ^ * 9 m Commercial Hank Closed. Following what is described as an unusual demand for withdrawal of fund^ last Friday, the Commercial Bank of Blackville closed its doors. The state bank examiner's office was notified immediately, and an accountant was sent- to inspect the business of the.bank. It is stated that the business of the bank was found to be in excellent- shape, and that the bank will be reopened for business within a few days. It is stated that the bank is perfectly solvent.
