His services are much in 1 demand for revivals, and during the < past summer he has conducted no less than seven meetings in this and : other states.

The building has been completed at a cost of $26,000, and is one of the finest dormitories in the state, and equips Carlisle second to no school in these parts. Various hindrances delayed completion of the dormitory, these obstacles being unavoidable. The building has been complete for some days ? ^ ^ AWAAT\IIA*? A V?

The rooms are equipped with hot and cold water, connecting baths, etc., and is in every respect a modern dormitory, especially designed by LaFaye & LaFaye, architects of Columbia, for the needs of thi9 school. The building is practically fireproof, and is equipped with the latest fire escape devices. The enrollment at Carlisle this year, while considerably under the enrollment of recent years, has been steadily increasing since the opening of the school and with the additional equipment provided by the new dormitory. Carlisle will doubtless soon reach a normal enrollment. The school has been seriously handicapped until this building was completed, as it lost two dormitories-by fire last winter. T ?

Common Pleas Court Convenes Nov. 6th At a recent meeting of the Bamberg Bar association, an agreement was effected whereby the supreme court was asked to postpone the session of common pleas court from Gel. 23 to Nov. 6, as this date was found to conflict with the stare fair and some other activities. In accordance with the wishes of the local bar, the supreme court, by Justice A. C. Watt, has issued an order calling an extra session of court for November 6th, which will last fOF two weeks. Attorney N. G. Evans, of Edgefield, has been named by Governor narvey as special juage to noia tne court, on account of physical disqualification of the regularly scheduled judge. Mr. Evans is well known in Bamberg. He made several addresses here during the war on patriotic subjects and impressed the people here as a very earnest and able speaker. Mr. Evans was also a candidate for congress several years ago against Congressman Byrnes. In some way Justice Watts made the order for a special term to read for a term of the courts of general sessions and common pleas, but this was an error, the clerk of court states, as only a civil term was scheduled to be held at this time, the criminal court having already been held, and another regular term of criminal court being scheduled for the early part of the new year. The juries for the two weeks of court will be drawn next week by the jury commissioners. Former {Romberg oman Hurt in Jiuto Accident Mrs. W. J.

Mrs. E. O. Kirsh read an extract from the October Missionary Voice. It ib impossible to tell much of it in this article. The wonderful personalty, faith, hope and love of Miss Belle Bennett. In the' beginning of her work to establish a training school for missionaries, she encountered great opposition. Some churches even refused to allow her to speak in them or to take up collections. But she had many friends, Rev. Sam Jones among them. He gave her every help and the free - use of his tabernacle. Her life work was missions. For this cause she traveled the world over, Mexico, South America. China. Jan?n. Korea, and the / " - T countries of Europe. To tell it all in a few short words: For the love of Christ and her fellow man she gave thirty-five years of her life, filled to the fullest of lervice, without one cent of pay. The programme was concluded by a song, Miss Bennett's favorite, "Oh Love that Would not let Me Go," sung by Mrs. H. N. Folk.

Establishing a near perfect defense and boasting a backfield with the * driving power to break through the line for steady gains, Columbia high school yesterday outplayed Carlisle for four quarters, besting the fitting school eleven by a score of 13 to 7. The Columbia line, outweighed several pounds to the man. wa? largely <the deciding factor in the battle and time after time a line man broke through to spill Carlisle plays almost before they had their birth. ; On the offense the line also played no small role and a large portion of Columbia's gains were attained on I line plunges. It is to a better know- > ledge of the fundamentals of play that the high .school owes its victory | and this supremacy is such as to make the Columbians a contending factor of no small importance in the state football championship race. Columbia back also showed considerable speed in circling ends for gains and with the improving of the timing and interference as the season wears on this too will develop as a treat not to be ignored. Carlisle forte was the forward pass and the majority of the fitting school - - " gains came Dy tne overhead route, only two or three of the passes attempted failing of completion. One of these however fell into the hands of Allen, Columbia end, in midfield ? and almost?but not quite?resulted in another touchdown for the Colum- > V bians. As it'was Allen eluded every man with one exception and was brought down on the 20 yard line. ? ' > ? i Woman Fatally Shot Known in Bamberg _______ i. News from Miami, Fla., is that Mrs. C. B.
