IweeK Has come ana gone, ami m it?
wake it has left an unprecedented era
of pride and confidence; pride in the

one; some knew we could have one;
'but nobody was big enough to take
the lead and start the ball to rolling.
It required stout heart and noble effort,
but this year the Utopian dream
was put into stauncTi reality; ideas
wtnAworf iwfn ft/?f?nmTYlishm6iits and air
HBpf castles came down to earth. And
WF though with but a few weeks to spare
rt in which to perfect plans and ar)
rangements Bamberg county's ^farrnj
ers exchange week has been a notable
I success from every angle and easily
- eclipsed anything ever before attempted
in this county; it bids fair to
quickly blossom into one of the J
* state's greatest annual county fairs.
t For we came; we saw; we conquered;
all skeptics must be convinced, and
join with an abiding faith in the old
slogan, "We can." The result besDeaks
Drosress and development, and
K reflects unstinted praise, just pride,
and magnificent credit upon those
public spirited citizens who put
aornee tbck mnvpmpnt. Every city of
I - ficial labored zealously for the success
of the movement, and the origiE'nators
deserve the congratulations

Joying any degree of civic pride in
our county and community. Those
who threw cold water on the undertaking
and those individuals, organ\

a fine opportunity, and join hands
: ' next time, because while slow in
starting, a continuation is now practically
assured, thinking not of that
? slowness in the past, but working in
sj the future with Longfellow's senti?.
ments, "Let the dead past bury its
dead."
Bamberg county has splendid
schools, magnificent farms and other
fine assets. And witJh our own ingenuity
and resourcefulness, and the
inspiration and confidence now ours,

a statesman's foresight to con^

if such be necessary, and the
exhibits themselves can be easily furnished.
We have worth while indusf
trial enterprises, great commercial
interests, progressive banks and the
richest farm lands in this section of
the country capable of producing
bountiful and varied crops. We have

at the church Tuesday afternoon. I
The subject under discussion at this
meeting was the Jap-Korean question

A rising unanimous vote of thanks'

the retiring president, Mrs. W. J.
Snyder, for her splendid executive
ability displayed in handling the affanrs
of the society since she assumed
the leadership some months
ago. The removal from the city of
I Mts. Snyder necessitated her resig1
nation. Accordingly, the election of
officers was entered into, and the following
named ladies were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Mrs.
Otis Guess;- vice president, Mrs. J.

It was decided to make the January

by Mrs. E. O. Kirsch; the hostesses
selected for this meeting are Mesdames
C. R. Brabham, Jr., J. . Moye

art and antique booths were notably
worth while and highly entertaining.
The various clubs were nicely represented.
At night the Midway furnished
much fun and amusement for
those who ventured out.
The occasion was ushered in early
Tuesday morning with a very timely
and appropriate speech by Mayor LaVerne
Thomas. Then the sumptuous
1 barbecue was enjoyed by thousands.
On Wednesday the handsome parade
of floats was witnessed by more people
than ever before gathered together
on Main street. The excel

there was a fine basket ball
game between the girls of Bamberg
and Orangeburg high schools. Free;

visitors daily at the La Victoire Theatre.
Attempts were made to arrange

and some other contestant, but the
plans could not be perfected, and the

next year. And it is hoped that all!
schools will join more heartily in the <

might render some selections. Fine
speeches on farm topics and boll weevil
conditions were delivered to large
and appreciative audiences on Wednesday
and Thursday by two respective
representative speakers from
Clemson college, Dr. W. W. Long,
and N. E. Winters. The big street
dance scheduled for Thursday night
probably would have been a huge
success, but was abandoned out of
respect for the memory of one of
Bamberg's oldest residents who passed
away that day.
Friday was entirely given over to
the colored people who took advantage
of the opportunity to reflect
credit upon tfieir race and conducted
their affairs well. They pulled off a
good parade, staged some good horse
races and in the afternoon had a foot

SNYDER GOES TO McCODL.
Associate Headmaster of Carlisle Resumes
Pastoral Work.
The many friends of Rev. W. J.
Snvder and his attractive and much
beloved family will be interested to
know that he is to resume pastoral
work in the South Carolina conference.
At the recent session of the
conference in St. George, Rev. Mr.
Snyder was assigned to the pastorate
of the Methodist church in McColl.
He is now arranging to move to McColl
in the next week or two to assume
his new duties.
A little more than a year ago Mr.
Snyder was assigned to the position
! of associate headmaster of Carlisle
j school by the Upper South Carolina
conference, of which he was a member.
At that time he was connected
with the business management of
Lander college. His last pastoral
work was done at Batesburg where
[ he was and is held in the greatest
affection.
Mr. Snyder and his family have
made hundreds of staunch friends
during their stay in Bamberg. He is
recognized as being one of the ablest
preachers in .the conference. The
need for pastors in the Methodist
conference is very acute, and it was
considered that the pastoral services
of this able minister of Grod could
not well be dispensed with longer.
He is an efficient and indefatigable
worker in any undertaking, and the
McColl church is indeed very fortu nn+n

success in their new home.

WANT TO SUSPEND TRAINS.
HM U
Morning Passengers Nos. 9 and 10,
Ri>nnr>hvillA tn Ancnst-a.
Of -considerable interest to Bamberg
is the announcement of the
South Carolina railroad commission
that an application ihas been filed
with the commission by t!he Southern
Railway company begging the privilege
of suspending the operation of
trains Nos. 9 and 10, between
Branchville and Augusta.
1116 commission uas set ucucuiuci
14 as the date on which. a hearing
will be held in regard to the matter,
at which time representatives of the
railroads and other interested parties
will be heard in regard to the
suspension of this train service.
Trains Nos. 9 and 10 are the early
morning trains operating through
Bamberg on the Southern. The 6.25
train brings to Bamberg the biggest
first-class mail of the entire day, including
the daily newspapers from
Charleston and Columbia. While it
may be possible to route the Columbia
papers so as to reach Bamberg
at 9.01, if these trains are taken off,
it will vean that the Charleston papers
will not arrive in "Bamberg until
10:50 a. m. In fact, in the event
of the suspension of these trains,
Bamberg will be practically isolated
so far as the daily newspapers are
concerned until mid-forenoon, to say
nothing of the fact that the town
will be without first-class mail until
9 o'clock.
It was only recently arranged,
through the efforts of Postmaster
Knight to have a first-class mail delivery
in Bamberg on the 6:27 train.
The patrons of the postoffice have
been greatly pleased, at tihis early
/
mnrninc mm'1 whicfh brings
the bulk of the morning mail to
Bamberg, thus affording business
houses the opportunity of gettinjg
their mail when the various places
of business are opened in tih^ morning.
It is not imagined that the public
will relish the fact that this marl,
so recently added, is to be suspended
if he railroad commission allows the
taking off of these trains.
The inconvenience to the traveling
public will be equally as great.
At present one may make an early
trip to Augusta, Columbia, or Char
leston, which will be impossible it
this train service is suspended. These
trains are also used more than any
other in taking patients to the -city
hospitals, as they permit those interested
to make a trip and return the
same day.

bridge over the Edisto river and for n
the construction of the causeway ffl
leading to the bridge through the 8

! The construction of the bridge 8
over the Edisto- river between Orange- '3H
bung and Bamberg counties the cost 9
of which will be one-half divided between
the two counties ang one-half 9
by the federal government, will be H
one of the biggest pieces of engineer- >' , jffi

state. The bridge will measure 613 H
feet in length. It is to built in five 9
spans, of reinforced concrete, one of Q
the longest bridges in this section. ?
The causeway contract is to be let |B
at the same time. This will com- SI

heretofore stated, the road will fal- jflj
low the present right of way until the fl
the canal is reached. It there leaves 8
the old right of way and goes straight H
across the swamp to the bridge site. B
When these projects are completed, ' . B
there will be an unbroken highway B
from Buford's Bridge to Orange- 9j
burg, and as links are how being a
built from Buford's Bridge to Syca- 8
more, and from Orangeburg to Cal- B
houn county line, there will soon be B
a completed highway from Sycamore B
to the CaLhoun line.
The building of the road through 9
the swamp and the construction of H
the long causeway through the 9
swamp will take many months, and ?3
will give employment to a large |9

When this link is built, the Char- 9
