Short Items From Town and County Wednesday of last week, June 21, was the longest day of the year 1922. The days are now growing gradually shorter. The annual Bessinger family reunion will be held at Spring Branch church on July 4th. The public is cordially invited and asked to bring well-filled baskets. Mrs. Adeline H. Smoak, aged 85 years, died at her home in Orange? - - *- l J burg last week. She lert no onuureu, but there are three adopted children. She was well known in this county. More fine working days have prevailed the past week, and fine work has been put in by the farmers, who are getting more optimistic every day the sun shines, and it is shining quite generously now. Fire Wednesday of last week about noon did a small amount of damage to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Olin Watson in the northern seotion of town. The fire was extinguished without the use of the fire hose. A card from C. J. S. Brooker says: "Please send next paper to Colorado Springs, Colo., general delivery. Leave for Denver, Colorado Springs > and Peublo, via Oklahoma City, to*11 ?~n onr? hnviner fine morrow, ah wcu ? time." z Friday afternoon one of the cottages of the Santee Mills was considerably damaged by fire. -The fire was in the roof of the dwelling, and a portion of the top was burned away before the fire was brought under control. The making of ice is a very interesting operation," and those who have not done so ought to pay a visit to . the plant of the Cotton Oil company. ! The frost covered pipes are a very refreshing sight when the thermometer _ is 100 in the shade. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Folk 'have moved from -the apartment in The Herald building to the Residence of A. M. Denbow on Carlisle street. The First National Bank directors have declared a semi-annual dividend * of four per cent., payable on Jlily first. In a recent issue of The Herald it ? was stated that Prof. L. E. Kirby was reelected secretary of the Barnwell association B. Y. P. U. This was an error. Prof. N. H. Pender, of Hunter's Chapel, was elected secre s tary. Prof. Kirby is moving to Cordova to become principal of the graded school at that point in the near future and could n<jt accept the.secretaryship of the union. Lightning played quite a freak when the home of Mrs. Mamie Mur< / daugh was struck recently by a bolt. A clock, long^out of running order, was picked up when repairs were made; and it was found the pendulum had been knocked off by the lightning or by falling. Mrs. Murdaugh adjusted the pendulum in place, started the clock off and she says it ' is now keeping fine time. The first shipment of cantaloupes from Bamberg this season was made a day or two ago through the Truck Orowers association. The price thus _ tar is very disappointing. The northern market is said to be glutted with with California and south Georgia V% . .* Topes, and they are bringing a very low price at this time. It is hoped hy the time Bamberg cantaloupes come in strong the glut will be over, - as seems likely now. Tobacco curing is becoming the order of the day now. Many barns of the weed were cured up last weeK, and many more fired up Monday morning. The prospect is that a fine tobacco crop is going, to be made in Bamberg county this year. There has j been a wonderful improvement in the growing plants the past three weeks, and with the promise of good * prices-this summer the tobacco^grower is feeling much better over his prospects. Brickle-Fogle. Cope, June 23.?Bennie D. Fogle took a week's holiday and went to Clearwater, Fla., Monday night, where he married Miss Connie Mae Brickie, at the home of her uncle, CB. H. Garick, Wednesday afternoon and he and his bride returned, arriving here Friday night. Miss Brickie is a daughter of B. B. Brickie/of Orangeburg, but spent most of her life at this place. She is a deserving young woman and lias many friends who wish her well on the sea of life. Mr. Fogle is a promising young man, and works in the Ne-Me Garage of this place. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Fogle of near Cope. / Members of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association who have failed to receive postal cards from tills association this month, should send naa^es and addresses to M. O. Wilson, secretary Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association. Raleigh, N. C.?adv. v About 200 Attend the Short Course About two hundred girls, women and boys attended the Bamberg counts* cbnrt rnnrsc. held at Carlisle1 school last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The course this year was voted the most successful and enjoyable yet held by the demonstration clubs of the county, and the members are loud in their praise of the efficient demonstration agent, Miss Emma Jane Yarn, and the officials of Bamberg county and of Carlisle school for making the three enjoyable days possible for them. Aside from the good work put in by the members attending the course, the occasion provided an excellent outing for the club members and they made much of the opportunity. The course opened Wednesday morning with 8S igirls in attendance, and remained throughout the three days, and Carlisle campus was a busy scene especially on the last day. TJp biscuit contest was held Thursday afternoon. The winners were announced and the prizes awarded Friday morning at chapel exercises. J. C. Kearse delivered the prizes with appropriate remarks. The first prize, an, Eversharp pencil given by S. S. Carroll, jeweler, was awarded to Maude Laird, of Denmark; and the second prize,,a box of stationery, given -by Miss Varn, went to Dorothy Crum, of Denmark. Interesting and instructive addresses were made Thursday by Dr. J. B. Black, Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, a/id others. - <^fiss Laird, as county winner, will go to Aiken where she will compete in the district contest. The winner of that contest will compete with winners from other districts at the state fair next fall for the state championship. Representatives Kearse and Riley made splendid addresses at the short course Friday morning,, and} Mrs. Ohauncey McDonald, secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis league, made a' most interesting and instructive address on the subject of health. Miss Lola M. Snider, food specialist, gave a most interesting demonstration on the making of -crekm puffs which was greatly enjoyed, especially by the ladies present Friday. . Miss Juanita Neeley, poultry specialist from Winthrop college, showed ihow tQ select birds for exhibition and also how to select good layers. After this the government poultry demonstration pictures were shown at LaVictoire theatre, along with a most laughable comedy. Free admission was granted by Mr. Thomas to the club members. fnllriTrinor roenlntinTlc r?f 9T>nfO. JL iMJfC iUHV/ lug X VUV1UVAVUW VA ciation were unanimously adopted: "We, the home demonstration club girls of Bamberg county, wish to thank all th$ people who have made it possible for us to have-held the 1922 Bamberg copntv short course. We have had a mos tprofitable and pleasant course of instruction; we have enjoyed the recreation hours under Miss Dickinson and the other instructors and we wish to thank the officials of Carlisle, through Col. Duncan, for the use of Carlisle school, which is such an ideal place to hold our short course, were it not for this courtesy all of the club members of the county could not meet together for this most valuable course of study and fun. ' "We also wish to thank the county board of education for financing our short course, even with the use of Carlisle it wouia nave Deen impossible to have the course had you qot so generously financed it and for this 'we are most grateful. "Mr. Smoak certainly knew what pleases a crowd of. girls more than anything else when he so kindly arranged the truck ride for us. We are sure that he knows what a good time we had in spite of the rain, but we want to thank him again for his thoughtfulness and kindness. " We like moving pictures and we thank Mr. Thomas for the comedy that made us laugh, and for showing the government . poultry pictures which were instructive as well as interesting. * "We also wish to thank the boy scouts for their invitation to the ball game and regret that we could not a tton r! "Last, but not least, we want to thank .Airs. Beach for so carefully watching over us and being so patient to answer all our numerous questions. "Then we want to thank, Miss Varn, our demonstration agent, most of all for arranging our short course. She spared neither time, effort or energy in igiving us this our most successful short course ever held. (Signed:) "DOROTHY CRUM, "MAUDE LAIRD, "JANIE STRICKLAND, "Com. for Bamberg Co. Girls." Apollo Music Club. Mrs. George Smith Miss Lalla Byrd delightfully entertained the Annllo Music club Thursday after-! noon, June 22nd. . j There was a very brief business j session after which the following programme was enjoyed: Lullaby?C. | J. Bond, Mrs. B. D. Carter; Current events. Mrs. M. E. Ayer; Song of the Brook?Lack, Mrs. Paul Whitaker. After delicious refreshments had been served the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. B. D. Carter, July 6th. Bond Election for Tuesday Called off Monday afternoon when the final arrangements were being made by the trustees of Bamberg school district Xo. 14 for the holding of the election Tuesday on the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $30,000 for tihe erection of a high school building, the discovery was made that the registration books had not been closed 30 days before the election in accordance with the law pertaining to such elections. The trustees, meeting hastily, called off the election after conference with attorneys, it being found that the election would probably have been held to be illegal. Another date will be set for the holding of the election in the near ! future, it is stated. It is necessary that the registration books must close thirty days before the election is to be held, and due to the oversight of not doing this the election has been postponed to some future date. The following order of the trustees was posted Monday afternoon: "Whereas, an order was issued by the undersigned board of trustees for Bamberg school district, No. 14, bearing date June 13, 1922, ordering an election to be held at the court house, Bamberg, South Carolina, on the 27th day of June, 1922, iy> rr Vvtt Oil ILLtJ 4U^5UU11 Ui> loouiug wuuuu wj said school district in a sum not exceeding thirty-five thousand dollars (35,000.00), and whereas it appears that the registration- books have not been closed thirty (30) days before the date of said election, as required by law, "It is therefore ordered that the said order heretofore issued directing said election to be held .be and the same is hereby revoked, and the said election is hereby postponed un- ' til the further order of the undersigned board of trustees of said school district. "The managers appointed to noia said election will take notice of this order." (Signed) D. F. Hooton, J. M. Grimes, G. O. Simmom B. D. Carter, trustees for Bamber school district No. 14, Bamberg, S. C. Will Complete Shrine Organization July / / Pursuant to a call issued by W. D. Rhoad and Tom Ducker, two local Shriners, a number of local members of that branch of Masonry'met ihere last Thursday for the purpose of discussing the possibilities and advisa bility of organizing a Shriners' club in this city. Quite a few Shriners responded to the call, and a committee, composed of the following was appointed to arrange another meeting: Tom Ducker,' W, D. Rhoad, W. M. Brabham, Col. W. C. Duncan, and Dr. F. B. McCfackin. Another meeting is to be held at Glendale Spring on July 11th at 10 a. m., for 't the purpose of perfecting the organization and electing officers. A barbecue dinner will be served after the ' meeting. There are many Shriners in Bamberg county and it is believed that a strong club can be organized here. Local Shriners have in view, also, the matter ot inviting tne snrmers 10 hold a ceremonial in this city some time in the future, and in order to b? in position to extend this invitation there must be a local organization to look after the details. The holding of a Shriners' ceremonial in Bamberg would provide the city with advertising the value of which would be vast, to say noth- . ing of the fact that the town would be entertaining a very fine set of several hundred men. ^ v LUTHER TO COMERS. Former Carlisle Pitcher Farmed Out by Washington. Columbia, June 26.?watson jlu ther, Columbia boy who went from Newberry college to the Washington American league team for a trial has been farmed out to Columbia and reported this afternoon. Luther several years ago was the leading pitcher for Carlisle's star ball team, and was one of the best pitchers ever developed at Carlisle. Reunion of Company G. i _______ Company G, C. S. A., will hold its annual reunion on Thursday. July 13th at Bethesda church. D. O. Hunter. secretary of the organization, announces that a splendid programme I has been arranged for the occasion. | to which the public is cordially invited. The committee on grounds is composed of J. R. Morris and J. L. Cothran. The Rentz q,uartette, of Bamberg, will furnish music, and some prominent speaker, not yet named, will deliver the annual address. Reorganize County I Fair this Afternoon La Verne Thomas, chairman of all committees that so successfully put o over the trade week programme here tl last fall, has called a meeting of all a parties interested in' the matter of y putting on a county fair this fall in "V Bamberg for this?Thursday?after- e noon at four o'clock in the city u clerk's office in the town hall. 1 It is realized that if a county fair p is to be held this fall it is necessary e for the committees to get to work, as ti he start last fall was entirely too be- c: lated to do justice to this important b matter. Even with the very limited n time last year a most successful be- h ginning was made, and it would be a great pity not to keep up the county e fair project, which was the ultimate ^ - v * - -J-! A WAQl/ 1 . ODjeCllV'e UI liAOl it cai a liaut no&u.. H Every person who served on- any a committee last year is urged to be a present this afternoon; as well as all other persons interested in the mat- c ter. At this meeting it is to be de- p cided if the fair is to be held, and if so, the necessary preliminary steps y will be taken with this end ih view. 0 It is proposed that the scope of the q fair must be materially Enlarged if j it is to properly serve the people of <? the county. The cooperation of the a entire county is to be sought, but the iv first matter to" decide on is'whether or not a county fair is to be held. b The meeting will not last long, ^ and business is not so rushing that n every business man and woman can- g not attend this meeting, which should q mean much to Bamberg. Inasmuch as the good ladies rendered such fine ^ service to the trade week last year it is expected that every 'woman in- j terested will attend this meeting. ^ IT)oy Scouts are off on Big Outing at Whitehall h v U Troop No. 1, boy scouts of Bamberg, left early Monday morning for a Whitehall on a five days fishing and vcamping expedition. Some thirtyodd of the xscouts are enjoying the ^ outing this week, and they left expecting to put in five of the most enjoyable days of their young careers. gi Several of the older heads of th a: local organization went along "to v keep the boys straight," and others, V( among, whom were A. B. Utsey, Paul a1 Whitaker, Col. W. C. Duncan, Major g William R. Watson, C. W. Rentz, Jr., v B. T. Felder, and others. The scouts raised a small fund last C] Friday afternoon at a base ball game ti between the married men and the p single men, in which the "veterans" h walked off with the honors 5 to 4, pj and this fund is being used to defray jr some of the necessary expenses of the t] trip this week. Vj The boys set out "before day" in trucks and automobiles, and expected to be at their, destination about noon or shortly after. Troop No. 1 is a live organization, A and it expects to, be heard from in pj Bamberg ere long. The boys are m taking an enthusiastic interest in d scout craft. The party will return e( to Bamberg Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. , c< - AT Curbing the Boll Weevil. C Cotton is a very desirable product of the farms of Bamberg county and ^ of our great state and the only way b; to obtain it is by putting up a continuous fight. This -fight has been on z a number of years in one way or another. Some of the methods of fighting him have been early planting, the planting of early maturing seed, rapid cultivation, picking the weeyils gathering the squares and destroy- ^ ing them. Calcium arsenate has been n found to be very destructive to the le boll weevil. The dusting method has Y been generally practiced. The use of c< poison in liquid form, sweetened with ir syrup, seems to be giving some re- pi -u. T suits. Mr. Turner, living near Denmark, 11 has four acres of cotton on which he 11 is using this poison in this fashion: ^ 1 gallon syrup, 1 lb. calcium arsenate, 10 gals, hot water, stir well. Applied with mop made of binder twine. A large number of squares are to be found on this cotton, only a few punc- ? tured ones can be found, and the out- 11 look for a fine crop of cotton is very e bright. a Mr. W. H. Faust is having a spray- e ing machine tested out on his place. It is something newt It sprays this j e poison at the rate of 3 lbs.-calcium | ^ arsenate. 1 gallon syrup to 50 gallons j p A TT " * ~ ?1 /Nr? ?NrvTirifVl t V) 0 | P WcLier.
