The meeting was presided over by the vice president, Mrs. L. C. Smoak. The business of the afternoon was first disposed of. In discussing the Chautauqua it was decided to ask the other organizations in town to cooperate with the music club in their plans to make the chautauqna a success. In order that the names of the president and secretary might be placed in the year book, which will be published by the State Federation of Women's clubs at an early date, it was decided to elect these officers at this meeting.

M. Dannelly Friday afternoon. After a business programme a salad course was served by Misses Bays and Hildegarde Dannelly. Mrs. W. H. Ritter, Mrs. Joe Dannelly, and Mrs. J. Robert Peters were elected ^delegates to the district meeting at Saluda. Annual Memorial at Rivers Bridge The annual memorial exercises of the Rivers Bridge Memoral association were - held last Friday at the memorial grounds in the presence of the usual large gathering of Confederate veterans and their friends. The day was rather cool, and the morning was fine, but in the afternoon about the time of the close of the day's programme it began to rain, and some of those in attendance got their enthusiasm slightly dampened before they reached their homes. Chas. Carroll Simms, of Barnwell, was the orator of the day. Preceding his address, the Carlisle band rendered an appreciated service in furnishing the audience with some excellent band music, under the direction of Major John C. Lanham, one of the pieces being "Dixie," which, as usual, brought forth liberal applause. The Rentz quartette from Bamberg also delighted the audience with several vocal selections which were liberally applauded. The invocation was asked by the Rev. C. M. Peeler, of Olar, after which Representative J. Carl Kearse, of Bamberg, introduced Mr. Simms as the speaker of the occasion. In his introduction, Mr. Kearse referred to the distinctive service of the veterans in defending their home land, and to the brilliant ancestry of the speaker, paying a high tribute to the father of the speaker, who was for many years one of this county's and state's most distinguished citizens, and to the speaker himself who has inherited many of his father's bril1 ""4 orirJ w>Vir? Viae Viarl manv i Id III llano auu ?uv uv.w honors conferred upon him. Mr. Simms paid a glowing tribute to the soldiers of the lost cause, referring to the brave and unselfish manner in which they had entered the service of. their country and of the distinguished service they rendered mankind in. upholding the principles of the Confederacy. States' rights came in for some discussion, and the infringement of the federal government upon the rights of the states was scored. Some specific instances of this infringement was referred to, including the activities of the interstate commerce commission. Another fact deplored was tnat when an agent of the internal revenue department takes a human life the government details members of its legal department to defend him. In turn, the speaker thinks,1 the state government is becoming too much centralized, the state tax com mission coming in for considerable criticism. Mr. Simms, in regard to the question of taxation, advocated that all cultivated land should be tax free. After the roll call by Coroner "eigler, and the inging of "America" by the audience, the veterans marched to the grave of the soldiers killed in the battle at that point, followed by ladies with flowers, with wihich the grave was decorated in loving memory of the valiant service rendered by the dead heroes. The exercises of the day came to a close when a bugler sounded taps. A bountiful dinner was served on the grounds, one of those who usually attend describing it as the most bountifui ever. Requirements for Certificates. County Superintendent of Education W. D. Rowell has received the following letter from the state board of examiners for teachers which is self-explanatory, and all teachers are urged 10 govern Lneiuseivea aucuiuingly, as no teacher will be employed in the schools of this county next session unless they have a bona fide certificate: A third grade certificate shall not be renewed. A first grade or a second grade certificate shall be renewed when the holder complies with the following requirements: 1. Presentation of satisfactory written evidence from school officials showing that the holder has taught successfully during one half the life of the certificate. 2. Presentation of a record of successful and satisfactory summer school work. Every approved summer school must run at least six weeks. Teachers receiving certificate credit on summer school work must attend at least twenty days, must persue at least two approved courses, and must stand satisfactory examinations at the close of the summer school. Note: The state bbard of education, at a recent meeting, waived the reading circle requirement for the renewal of certificates which expire in 1922. For this year only, the State board of education also waived the summer school requirement for the holders of first grade certificates granted on A. B. or B. S. degree from accredited colleges. Henry N. Folk Gets j The Postmastership\ I Announcement was made in Wash- j ington Wednesday of last week that the name of Henry N. Folk, of thisi city, had been submitted to the United States senate as postmaster at Bamberg. As soon as the senate confirms the nomination of Mr. Folk, he will be commissioned to take over the office in this city. The contest for the Bamber? postmastership has been long drawn out. J The examination was held last summer, there being five applicants: A. W. Knight, the incumbent; H. N. Folk, J. J. Heard, F. W. Free, and J. Harry Murphy. Announcemen; was made a few days ago that of the five only two qualified as eligi-1 bles for the place, these two being Mr. Knight and Mr. Folk, the former coming first on the eligible list. Mr. Knight has held the place for about nine years. He was first appointed by President Taft, succeeding the late J. P. Murphy. At the ex-, piration of his first term, Mr. Knight was reappointed by President Wilson, enjoying the rather unusual distinction of receiving an appointment from a Republican and a Democratic administration. The Bamberg postoffice has enjoyed a great growth during Mr. Knight's administration, now oemg in the second class. The Bamberg postoffice is rated as being one of the most up-to-date of any small town in the state. i Mr. Folk is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Folk, of Bamberg. He has lived here all his life, and is a young man who has many friends and enjoys the confidence of a large circle of acquaintances. He is at present secretary of the H. C. Folk company, one of the largest mercantile establishments of the city, and is also secretary and treasurer of the Bamberg County Truck Growers association, one of the city's newest and livesv market organizations. CARLISLE DOWNS SCRUBS. Rhame Weakens and Preparatory Lads Have B'g Inning. In the most interesting game of the season, Carlisle defeated the Carolina scrubs here Thursday evening by the score of 4 to 3. Two errors, a sacrifice and a hit netted Carolina two runs in the first and another was added in the fourth when Wingard lost one of Fairey's shoots in the rifle pit in deep center. Rhame blew up in the sixth when four hits and an error gave Carlisle three counters. The winning run was scored by Thompson in the seventh when he reached first on a fielder's choice, advanced on Folk's sacrifice and scored on a long single by Large. Arant, K. Sanders and Thompson secured two hits each and Folk hit one for three bags. Fairey allowed only four hits, his pitching being the best seen here this year. Thompson and Folk grabbed long fouls while Large played a pretty game at short, and Ward grabbed all kinds of bounders at second.

In a game in which a big inning played an important part Carlisle school at Bamberg defeated the University of South Carolina reserves yesterday afternoon by a score of 8 to 7. The home teafh was off to a one run lead in the first inning but the visitors staged a win/iing rally in the fourth and counted six runs. Two were added in the seventh. With the score 8 to 1 in favor of the invaders Carolina rallied in the seventh, scoring .four runs and by acquiring two more in the eighth made the count 8 to 7, one run short of a tie. The ninth, however, was unproductive and Carlisle won the second game of the series by a margin of one run, the first having been copped by the prep school boys at Bamberg by a score of 4 to 3. Score by innings: Carolina 100 000 420?7 Carlisle 000 600 200?8 Batteries: Carlisle, Sauls and Folk; Carolina. Reynolds, Parler and Webster.?The State. Victory for Olar. Olar, April 28.?In one of the prettiest games of the season Olar high school defeated Fairfax high school on the former's diamond Thursday afternoon. The game was hard fought throughout.

Ground Broken for the New Dormitory Ground was broken last Thursday for the erection of the new dormitory for Carlisle school. The contractors, Haynesworth & Lawton, are now at work and the actual construction work will be started in a few days. Piles of material are now *- - ^ ^ V? A hni1/4ir?(T CI tn DeiQg uauicu iu luc uuiiunig jicv preparatory to laying bricks. The excavation work will be completed probably this week. The new dormitory, a cut of which was shown in a recent issue of The Herald, will contain 53 rooms, each capable of housing two cadets. The new hall will bear the name of the late H. J. Brabham, one of the school's early friends, and for whom the burned dormitory was named. Carlisle's new dormitory will be the last word in boys' barracks. After exhaustive study of the state's most modern buildings of this kind by the building committee, the good points hafve -been included, and objectionable points eliminated in the plans for the H. J. Brabham hall. It is announced that appropriate cornerstone laying exercises will be arranged for a later date. s Miscellaneous Shower. Mrs. J. J. Heard, a most charming and popular nlember of the Apollo Music club, was honoree at a miscellaneous shower given by 'her clubsisters at the attractive home of Mrs. E. H. Henderson last Monday afternoon. This affair was in the nature of a farewell party, prior to Mrs. Heard going to Detroit to live. The day being gray and cool, was a striking contrast to the interior of this beautiful home with its decorations of sweet peas, pink roses and ferns. The members were received by Mrs. Henderson and Miss Lalla Byrd and after all had arrived ana were having a good time, a knock was heard at the door. An "old southern mammy," impersonated by Mrs. C. F. Gilchrist (who .did the part to perfection) entered witfa a basket of beautiful and useful gifts which she ^presented to Mrs. Heard. This was quite a surprise" to her as she thought she was attending a call meeting. While the gifts were being passed for all to see, appropriate toasts were given, .virs. Heard graciously responded and expressed deep regret in leaving the olub. An old time "spelling match" proved to be a source of much merriment. The first prize, a lovely box of stationery, was given to Mrs. J. Frank for being the "best speller," while the consolation, a bag of candy, went to Mrs. Tillman Felder for "sitting down first." Other .games were also played after which delicious refreshments were served.? Coitributed. t District Meeting Held Here Sunday t Sunday afternoon at Trinity Methodist church a most interesting meeting of Sunday school workers wasr held for the fourth sub-district of the Orangeburg district. The fheeting was attended by representatives of Sunday schools of a number of churches in this section of the state. After the opening worship, which was led by Rev. S. O. Cantey, addresses were made by a number of Sunday school workers as follows: "The Sunday school worker as an evangelist," Col. W. C.

It was decided that the next meeting should be held with Wesley Chapel Methodist church on the next fifth Sunday. T. B. Barton, of Cordova, is president of this sub-district, and Paul Whitaker, of Bamberg, is secretary. How He Came to Be There. Strolling along the quiet side street without paying* sufficient attention, Johnson slipped through an open coal hole in the pavement, and remained a prisoner there for nearly half an hour. Presently his face lighted up with hope as an elderly gentleman sedately came toward him. "Dear me!" exclaimed the newcomer, as he adjusted his glasses and stared at Johnson in wonder. "Have you fallen through the coal hole?" A murderous glare shone for a second in the victim's weary eyes; then he smiled sardonically. "Your mistake, sir," he replied. "As you seem to be interested in the matter, I am ready to inform you as to exactly what happened. I just chanced to be in here when the road was here and they ouiit me pavement around me."?Houston Post. i Gov.
