Presbyterian Pastor Resigns Pastorate Bamberg people generally of all denominations' will exceedingly regret to learn of the resignation of the Rev. Phillip Mickle. the beloved pastor of the local Presbyterian church I and also of the Denmark church. Mr. 1? ~ fn nnh'in t V>oca t \\rr\ ' .mUKie lias UCC" ouvyi.wus fc ^ churches for more than a year, alternating between each place is to the morning and evening services each Sunday. During a considerable portion of last year he and his esteemed wife made their home among I us here in Bamberg and endeared themselves to the nearts 01 an, ana it had been fervently 'hoped that soon they would be full fledged Bamberg | citizens. However, Mr. Mickle is soon to complete his work as a ministerial student in the Presbyterian theological seminary at Columbia, and in announcing his resignation to his congregation Sunday he gave as his reason that he feared he was attempting to carry on too much work and that under such circumstances he felt that surely some of it, either his pastoral work here and in Denmark or 'his work in Columbia must necessarily suffer and therefore it was his duty to resign. The resignation was reluctantly acppntftd to take effect immediately, and J next Sunday morning will conclude his pastoral duties at Denmark, while his last sermon to his Bamberg congregation will be preached that night. Mr. Mickle in his short period shere has done splendid work in building up and maintaining his church, and while his resignation came as a complete surprise, the officers, nevertheless, realizing the lofty motives which prompted his action, were forced to bow to his wishes. Mr. Mickle is a young man of sterling ability and earnestness of purpose wit'h a brilliant future in store for him in his chosen field of / _ ... Godly work, and all Bamberg bias | him Godspeed wherever he may be called. The work in tjie local Presbyterian churches will not be dropped but it is expected that the pulpit will be filled regularly just as heretofore. However, it is not possible just yet to state definitely what preacher will be sent to this charge. The Bridge Club. Mrs. H. J.

Little Bessie Clyo Carter, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Carter, passed away last Saturday morning at their home in Columbia* after being ill for about a month. The little girl was just 13 months old, being born in Bamberg only a short while before her parents moved from here a little less than a year ago, up up to which time her father had been ~ a*? r% ^ a valued employee or me oamee Mills here. Little Bessie was a partitularly bright child, though but a year old, and her death cast a distinct shadow of gloom over the friends of the family here who deeply sympathize with those bereaved.

Please remember that Koggei and Kekko are two different Japanese words and should not be mixed, one meaning rediculous and the other splendid. A "tfiirrmpan nrnfessor in the Impe rial university of Tokyo though proud of his linguistic attainments, did not fully appreciate the importance of the difference between the two words until one day when he had occasion to go to felicitate a Japanese colleague of his on the arrival of a new baby.* The European scholar spoke in fluent Japanese something to this effect: "I hear, sir, your wife has a new son.

Emanuel Poliakoff, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Poliakoff. died in the University hospital at 3:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon as a result of burns sustained yesterday morning when Emanuel and his three year old brother Matthew were dressing in front of an open fireplace in their home at 1106 Reynolds street. It is thought that the flames from the open fireplace caught the night clothes of the older boy and that the small brother's clothes caught while 'he was attempting to extinguish the flames on the older child. Their screams attracted the attentions of other members of the fami*? ?1? ?

"Matthew's condition was painful but not serious and he was removed to his home yesterday e^ning. The funeral of Emanuel will take place from the home of his parents this afternoon at 4 o'clock and interment will follow in the City cemetery. R. E. Elliott and Sons are in charge.?Augusta Chronicle, Sunday, February 19th. Mr. Poliakoff, father of the children burned, at one time lived in Bamberg and conducted a general merchandise store, afterward moving to Blackville, leaving his store at this place in charge of M.

Bamberg Farmers Hear Poe Speak _____ Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, closed a three days' speaking tour in the state in behaif of the cooperative marketing of cotton here Wednesday. Here, as at every other point at which he spoke, Via was heard hv a larae and reoie sentative crowd. Notwithstanding the very inclement weather, growers from every section of this county and adjoining counties came to towh to hear him. Mr. Poe in his address told cf the wonderful success of the Texas and Oklahoma associations which began operations last fall, handling the 1921 crop. The farmers of those states are delighted, he said, with I At- a /-v f /vn f i Ar> O Af tV? A I I Lie I esuus \JL IUC upcianuuo w L bue associations thus far and they have [ won the complete confidence of the bankers and the business world. The success of the campaign in North Carolina was related by Mr. Poe. jln that state, he said, they had set out to sign up 200,000 bales. When the campaign was closed arnd the tabulation completed, he said, it was found that they had signed nearly 400,000 bales. The most prominent men in the state took an active part in the campaign, making speeches day and night. The influence of these leading citizens was one one of the chief factors in the success of the movement. "A matter of great interest to you people," said Mr. Poe, "is the character of the men selected by the growers as the officers and directors of the association. They are among the most prominent and successful farmers and business men in North Carolina. The growers, in making their selection, threw a veritable searchlight ncit only upon the success that the different men under consideration had made of their own business but as to their integrity of character also. . There is no bank or corporation of any kind in the entire state whose board of directors are more outstanding men than are the officers and directors of the cotton and tobacco growers' associations." The plan of cooperative marketing was explained in detail by Mr. Poe, who declared cnat it stood out as a beacon of hope to the growers. Mr. Poe expressed himself as very much pleased with the reception that he had received at all of the places at which he had spoken in South Carolina and the enthusiasm manifested. He declared that it was the duty of every man who had the interests of South Carolina at heart to take off his coat and go to work and give some of his time to this movement. i The speech delivered by Mr. Poe here was his fourth one in three days. At Newberry on Monday he was heard by a crowd which packed the court house to the doors. At Johnston Tuesday morning another large crowd heard 'him. At Aiken Tuesday afternoon he addressed a large crowd. At each of these places, he said, he was impressed by the earnestness of his auditors and the enthusiasm which they showed for cooperative marketing. MUSIC CLUB STAGES OPERA. Cinderella Very Creditably Presented Friday Evening. The light opera Cinderella was very creditably presented at the Carlisle auditorium Friday evening by a local cast. The play was primarily gotten up by the Apollo Music club and was entirely musical and highly entertaining, the best possible local talent being offered and every one acquitting himself or herself admirably. The costumes were exquisite, the scenery artistically arranged and all in all Cinderella was a very pretty extravaganza. Quite a few out of town folks were in the audience. The role of leading lady, Cinderella herself, was played by Miss Vista Brabham, charming and vivacious, while that of the prince, her wooer and winner, was well taken care of by Paul W'hitaker. Other leading parts were excellently handled by John C. Lanham, LaVerne Thomas, H. N. Folk, R. C. Stokes and H. L. Rentz, representing the male talent, and Mesdames S. A. Merchant, Geo. S. Smith, J. J. Heard, L. C. Smoak, Annie Black and E. H. Henderson, for the ladies. Some thirty or forty | other tfamoerg peopie aciea m minor roles, but their parts were important to the beauty of the play and were acted and carried out unusually well. Between the two acts little Misses Elizabeth Gilchrist and Mary Aldrich Wyman, two attractive lassies, rendered an exhibition of dancing which highly delighted the big audience and added much pleasure to the occasion. The taxpayers can't see much difference between a dreadnought and a judgment. Subscribe for The Herald, $2 year. N ^ Knights of Pythias Hear Fine Addresses A most interesting convention ,of Bamberg lodge No. 38 Knights of Pythias was held on Monday evening. The occasion was the regular meeting of the lodge, and was also the 58th anniversary of the founding of the order, the anniversary date falling on Sunday,^ the 19th. ! WihilA no sneoial nrnsrammp bad been arranged for the evening, two loyal Pythians, B. D. Carter, Esq., and Rev. S. 0. Cantey, had been invited to address the lodge. These addresses were full of the spirit of Pythianism and were inspiring to the .goodly number of Knights present at the meeting. Both spoke of the fratenral principles of the order and of their practical application to the daily lives of the members. At the conclusion of these addresses, short talks were made extemporaneously by several members, including Knights D. J. Delk, Capt. M. W. Lever and C. W. Rentz, Jr. The meeting was very greatly en joyed, and it was felt thht get-together Meetings of this character are of a most beneficial nature to the lodge membership. CLUB OFFERS STILL OPEN.

In a timely editorial last week, The Bamberg # Herald quotes Dr. John E. White as saying that business men will support their Chamber of Commerce, Lodge or other organization but quite often give no support or little to the local church. We think this is true of every section and is especially noticeable during hard times. And yet no organization means as much to the community as the church. Without its churches, Williston would be a very poor place in which to live and unsafe place in which to rear our families. Just as the churches of Williston are its biggest assets, Rosemary, Calvary and the other churches are the organizations that call for the most . loyal support of the people of those sections. And this does not refer to money alone. No pastor wants , simply a contributing member. The Williston Way is not specially strong on certain Sundays being set apart*1 as days when everyone should go to church for we believe that everyone should go to churcb every Sunday unless some good reason keeps them away.?Williston Way. Unbeatable Jimmy. The Allendale paper announces that J. Miles Riley, of Hampton county, has "about decided" to oppose J. F. Byrnes for congress from the 2nd district. It is out of our district and none of our rat "killing but, somehow, we have formed a rather high opinion of that young fellow Byrnes as a congressman. He makes the impression of being keen witted, alert, active, efficient and unafraid. In a rough and tumble fight with the Republicans 'he is never at a disadvantage. For a young man he was rather too personal with "Uncle Joe" T7? 3 ? 1 i- ?1- ~ mon wq? whin r ui uucy uut wc uiu liiu" ?t .. ? -xped, lost his temper, and became very exasperating.

The Bamberg 'high school girls basket ball team tacked on another victim to its already long and unbroken string last Saturday. This time it was the North Augusta girls who fell before their prowess and tumbled to an ignominous defeat. t me score was 10 t, ana cne amerence fairly indicates the relative strength of the two teams. The game was played in North Augusta, our girls rturning home on the evening train Saturday. Although on the enemy's battle ground, each Bamberg girl covered herself with glory, and Capt. Nelle Beard, the team's mainstay, in spite of the record of her f brilliant past, never played a greater game in her life. The girls were accorded splendid hospitality, and have none but the highest praise for North Augusta's. good sportmanship and the fine threatment which they received. N \ Lyceum Course. I The lyceum course at Carlisle School has been unusually good this year. No expense has been spared in j trying to obtain the very best num- < bers. There are two more attractions to be given, The Chicago Ladies' Sextette scheduled for March 2nd and the Elsie Illingsworth Co. sched- , uled for March 13th. "The Chicago Ladies' Sextette offers a most unique, original and delightful programme. In varied combinations of violin, cello, string, bass and piano, these gifted young ladies play their way into the hearts of their audience?and lose n6 time in doing so. They have what might he called a 'Personality Programme,' I for they certainly are 'Personality Girls'?every mother's daughter of them." This company comes to us 'highly < recommended and we feel sure that you will enjoy their orchestral work, their solos, their vocal combinations, * ^ and their readings and impersonation work. If you miss this attraction you will be mirsing something really worth wfoile. Remember the date Thursday, March 2nd, and be sure to come out and bring the family. The attraction scheduled for March 13 th, the Elsie Illingsworth Company is supposed to be one of the best the Bureau has to offer. This company is one of England's finest popular musical organizations. 'This is the first American tour to be made by Miss Illingsworth and her talented?assistants. This company delighted thousands of doughboys in France. The company spent twelve months in an active tour of the various fronts and later went into Germany for an additional six months. We 'have always striven to give to Bamberg a first class lyceum course regardless of expense and have very often as a result had to make up a considerable amount from the treasury of the school. If these last two numbers do not receive the support 2 of the town that they apparently deserve we will not be in position to ;ij sign a contract next year. If you want a lyceum course next year come out to these last two attractions.? adv. ' ' 1 SPECIAL NOTICES' j For Rent?Apartments on Main street. Apply to JOHN F. FOLK, , I Bamberg, S.
