I ORGANIZE A FAIR.
Ev Today is the time to organize the
Bamberg County Fair association*
I The moment for such a move was
I never more propitious. The
| Farmers' Exchange Week is a comI
plete success. Begun as a smMl get?
together enterprise between the mer:
?'y chants and farmers, the project has
grown into a creditable exhibition of
1 Bamberg county products.
Bp" It'is not worth while to enumerate
B the advantages of a county fair. The
I people of Bamberg county evidently
know the value of a fair by their
patronage of neighboring fairs. We
cannot refrain from mentioning, hows'
i ever, the vast benefits to be derived
just at this time from a county fair.
The county is torn to pieces, literally
; . * speaking, from the devastation of the
boll weevil. Cotton has made its exit
. as a financial crop in Bamberg coun.
ty?certainly for years to come. The
imperative duty of the whole people
of the county now is to get together
on a farming programme that will
bring success out of the chaos the
I planters find themselves in.
This can be accomplished in no
better way than the interchange of
plans and ideas among the people.
It is not the farmer's problem, nor
the banker's, nor the merchant's; it
is the problem of Bamberg county,
: and every individual in the county
has a vital part in its solution.
We venture to say that notwithstanding
the very small and modest
*0; display of country products here this
week, many folks are being surprised
Lc' -
v to note what some of our farmer
friends are doing. We venture to
suggest that many farmers have been
V. benefited by viewing the displays
8|p and exhibits.
Next year we want a real county
fair. We do not suggest a mammoth
affair; such a proposition would be
unwise. We want to grow upward
and outward, not downward and inward.
To make too big a beginning
might Drove disastrous at the very
I The display was put on in Bamberg
this year with only four weeks of
jM&V preparation, and at a cost of only a
- few (hundred dollars. Next year we
j?: must show a growth. . We must have
a real county fair.
In order to do this, there must be
- cooperation on the part of all the
"... people of the county. Bamberg coun:t
ty is the finest in the state. We must
let the people know about it. In
fact, we must convince our own people
of this fact. The county fair will
fe- go a long way in this direction.
' POAT R4 IVTi SKA SON ENDS.
t Local Teams Wind Up Season in
Blaze of Glory.
' Both of the local foot ball elevens,
the high school and Carlisle, completed
their regular schedules Thanksgiving
week in a blaze of glory, each
emerging from its Thanksgiving contest
triumphant by an overwhelming
score, the high school being victor on
Wednesday over Allendale hign by
lpT; , the score of 51 to 0, and Carlisle
i defeating Wofford Fitting school the
I ' following day 47 to 0. Tbe high
3 school game was played on the new
? high school field at the rear of the
s county jail nere, ana was luciueutajiv
R the first regular high school contest
p of any kind ever played on thi? field
R . which has been dubbei Dixie Land
8 > park. Both games were weli attendB
ed, especially the Carlisle-Wofford
R game on Thanksgiving, which was
S witnessed by the largest crowd who
ever attended a foot ball game in
R Bamberg county, man v spectators
1 ' coming from miles for the fray, while
Py the town people also turned out niceR
ly. Foot ball is a non professional
1 sport, a form of athletics confined alB
most exclusively to colleges and
S schools, and chiefly for that reason
3 it has risen in popularity to over1
shadow, every other branch of athB^..
* letics and become the one great
R American college game. It is not so
| common as base ball and therefore a
_ game which spectators usually nave
to be educated up to, a real man's
sport, which once understood grips
and thrills its onlookers with sensational
excitement and admiration,
red blooded, vigorous, virile and
manly. No faculty, however able and
thorough, no alumni, however great
and eminent, no endowment; however
large, no combined force of as
sets, can broadcast the name and
prove the magnificent advertisement

tor college as a fine foot ball team. It
>v . is unquestionably the best advertise@
ment that any school can command.
Hk~But
its success lies not alone in the
hoys who compose the Dlaying
Ir'v
mkp
t
strength of its eleven; their achievements
depend greatly upon the whole
hearted backing, support and cooperation
of a large number of spectators
to view and take pride in their
performances. The first foot ball
game ever played in Bamberg was
staged by the warriors of Carlisle
and Orangeburg high, doing battle
with s-rim determination, yet no ex
perience, in the fall of 1914, no longer
than seven years ago. People
here hardly knew a foot ball from a
dish rag then, and the paid admis- j
sions at that game wouldn't buy a j
sandwich from the Apollo Music club
stand on the fair grounds. But it is
a mighty healthy sign to note that
each year since the interest manifested
in the game has materially increased
until now foot ball has fiTmly
established itself in Bamberg as a
permanent institution supported by
the people and furnished by our wide
awake schools. It bodes good for
the future of both schools and it is
also safe to predict that with the
spirit of our people along such lines
it won't be very long before some of
the best college teams in the state
will be brought here to do battle at
Rhoad Park for the honor of their
respective institutions in the great
old college sport. The rah rah boys
deserve our patronage.

Demonstration Clnb Meets.
The Woman's Home Demonstra-J
tion club met with Mrs. A. W. Brabham
Friday afternoon at three o'- J
clock. Miss Varn, county agent, was
present, also Mrs. Camel, who so ably
represents our state work. Mrs. Camel
gave an interesting talk on conveniences
and improvements in our
kitchens, where we women folks
spend part of our time. Now, the
things she spoke of were not costly
things to be ordered from factories,
for if such had been the case her
words would have been "wasted on
the desert air" these days. On the
other hand, they were simple little
"st??) savers" which the modern
housewife with a little ingenuity ^an
construct herself. After the talk,
Mrs. Brabham served a delicious salad
course with coffee.
Bride-Elect Honored.
On Tuesday afternoon from tiree

with a miscellaneous shower in
honor of Miss Agnes Kearse. The
affair was simple and informal, the
decorations consisting of potted
plants, mosses and chrysanthemums.
The guests were met on the porch
and taken to the living room, where
they tendered their greetings and
good wishes to the bride-elect. After
the greetings, etc, Misses "Jink"
Lynes and Annie Mae Myers came in
bearing a huge laundry basket containing
dainty and useful gifts for the
bride. Then followed a guessing contest
which afforded much amusement
for all; each guest being allowed a
guess as to the contents of a pack
age, before tbey were openea up uy
the bride. However, it was proved
that we weren't clever guessers, as
the gift often proved to be quite different
from what he guess had been.
A salad course with coffee was served
by Misses Zelina and Bell Breland,
Jink Lynes and Annie Mae Myers.
Ma's Scheme.
"Ma wants two pounds of butter
exactly like that you sent us last
week. If it ain't exactly like that she
won't take it."
The grocer turned to his customer,
and remarked blandly: "Some people
don't like particular customers, but I
do. It's mv delight to get them just
what they want. I will attend to you
in a minute my boy."
"All right," said the boy, "but be
sure and get the same kind. A lot of
dad's relations are visiting our house,

Assassination of j
Policeman Attempted
I
I
What was a dastardly attempt at
a deplorable tragedy, a cold blooded i
murder, came perilously near being j
successful in Denmark at an early j
.hour yesterday morning. Denmark's!
night policeman, Floyd Lancaster,',
was shot by an unknown would-be
assissin, but fortunately Mr. Lancas-1
ter was not dangerously wounded. He
was shot with, a steel bullet, the missile
piercing the right wrist. No bones I
were broken, and Mr. Lancaster will
only be without the use of his hand j
for a short while. He emptied his j
revolver at his assailant, but without |
effect.
Tihe sheriff was called to the scene!
about two o'clock Wednesday morning,
but no evidence sufficient to in- (
I criminate any one could be gathered.'
and consequently no arrests have;
been made in connection with the
crime.
The guilty party was evidently fa-1
miliar with the customary rounds of
I the night policeman. It seems that
j in the rear of one of the Denmark
banks there is a fence with a bigj
hole in it and Mr. Lancaster's cus-!
I
t/vm xx7oq tn jm thrnnerli that hnlft in
making his beat. When shot he had (
started through the hole, only get-j
ting his hand through, and the as- j
sailant evidently thinking the white
spot was his face, fired. The result,
was as stated above.
Why He Was Bald.
Although a noted dermatologist;
and hair specialist, the late Joseph j j
Zeisler was himself noticeably bald, i
A young man came to his office;
one day to find out how he could i
preserve ihis thinning hair. "But be-1
fore I hear your advice," he said cau-!
tiously, "I would like to ask you i
