test will certainly close on this date,

how any contestant stands until the
close.

The postmaster at Bamberg has,
at his own expense, placed a large
waste basket in the lobby of the post
office. It is there for patrons to use,
and into it should be put all waste
paper of every kind. Kindly do not
throw papers all over the floor any
more, as the basket is plenty large
enough and you can't miss it. Help
> the office force to keep the office as
clean as possible.

N
It is certain that an election on the
dispensary question will be ordered
by the supervisor of this county, as
he informs us that he has checked
the names on the various petitions
and finds that there are enough signatures
of voters to make the election
mandatory, therefore he will
order that the election be held in
August as provided by law. The
official notice of the election will be
published later.

You W^l Have to Hustle to Win the
Piano.
No use to shout about the virtue
of the piano or other prizes. All
have become familiar with them.
Now is the time for steady determined
effort, the kind that wears
and tears and makes character in
the doing. Everyone of these contestants
who have been working for
the prize will be the better for the
effort even though there is only one
piano and only one who can get it.
Who is to be the one? That is to
be the momentous question. Do
they at times see a vision of the dray
stopping at their door, the men unload,
tramping into the house with
the beautiful instrument, the reward
of their prowess and endeavor? How ;
much interest did y^u take in such j
a dream? Have you not dreams of
your own? And how would you feel
to have them realized? Don't you
think you would have very much the
same feeling could you in some way
assist or have assisted in the realization
of some such laudable ambition?
Try it and see. Put forth the effort.
Bear in mind some of the contestants
whom you would like to see a
winner and then go out and work.
Every time you spend a dollar
put it some place where you can get
a vote coupon and then turn it over
to your chosen candidate. You
won't be the only one doing this,
and how do you know but what
your little help will turn the trick
I and put the prize wl^ere you want it?
You people who get out of yourselves
once in a while and do something
for somebody else, are beginning
to learn the true secret of a happy
life, and once you get in the way
you will keep it up forever?you will
speedily see that the ujillenium is no
fickle dream but a blessed reality, to
be brought about by just simple
means.
If when you do a kind act you
[ should fatally wait for the gratitude
you might therefore miss the op-^
l portunity of doing another, and failing
to get what you have foolishly
desired, lose all the joy of life, or
having got it, lose the other chancei
of being satisfied. Best keep on
| trying them; what is done for others
you have done twice for yourself, for
what is your end and object than
happiness, which never follows greed?
A piano is never a foolish posses
sion. When one*,can play it all within
reach of it's sweet sound are benefitted
thereby.

Change at Postoffice.
Mr. James Armstrong is now employed
at the post office here, his
position being that of general delivery
clerk. Mr. Armstrong succeeds
Mr. Laurie C. Smoak, who resigned
his position in order to take a course
at a business college, and he will
leave this week for Columbia to enter
upon the course. The postmaster
regretted to lose Mr. Smoak, as he
has made k most competent, accomo
dating and courteous clerk, and the
patrons of the office have been much
pleased at the accommodating manner
in which he discharged his duties.
While it is a source of regret
- - J -i.'ll

that Mr. Armstrong, as soon as he
can become familiar with the duties
of the position, will fill the place to
the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
Meeting Board of Control.
The annual meeting of the board
of control of the Carlisle School was
held Monday of this week, Chairman
M. L. Banks presiding. The report
of Headmaster Guilds for the past
year was the best in the history of
the school. There was a larger number
of boarding pupils than ever before,
and the financial as well as the
general reports of the year's work
were most satisfactory. This should
be especially gratifying to the citizens
of Bamberg in view of the-cam- 1
j ?.u;.u I
paign lor a new uorumuij wmtu ima
progressed to the point where the new
building is assured.
Messrs. H. C. Folk, W. D. Rhoad,
and J. C. Guilds were appointed as
a building committee for the new 1
domitor/.
Mr. H. J. Brabham was elected as
a member of the board to succeed
Dr. Geo. F. Hair, who resigned.
Mrs. J. J. Beach and- Mrs. Stella

the boarding halls.
There were two vacancies in the '
I faculty, Messrs. H. B. Anderson and
' R. L. Meriwether declining re-elec- ]
tion. Mr Meriwether will take a 1
post graduate course at Vanderbilt *

Mr. S. A.. Merchant, formerly of 1

Mr. G. H. Edwards will teach Latin 1
next year. He is from Darlington, '
and is a graduate of the University *
of South Carolina with the degrees

Xew Telephone Line. 1
A farmers' telephone line having
three subscribers has recently been
connected with the exchange of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company at (
Bamberg. Those who are connected
on this line are: J. W. Hill, J. J.
O'Neal, W. H. Priester.
They are well pdeased with the service,
and the indications are that a j
number of others will be added short- ,
ly. The construction of this line and
its connection with the telephone ex- ^
change here is another step in progress
of telephone development which
is being made by the residents in the
rural sections of Bamberg county.
Xew Directory. '
i
The new directory of the Southern <
Bell Telephone Company has been '
delivered to the subscribers in Bam- ]
berg by Manager R. N. Pfaff. ]
The new directory is attractive in 1
appearance and contains all the
changes and corrections in listings 1
since the last directory was printed. <
The number of new names ap- j
pearing in the list would indicate ]
that there are constant additions to i
the number of subscribers in Bam- 1
berg and vicinity and the telephone <
development is continuous. ]
Fire Saturday Xight. !
The alarm of fire was sounded last .
Saturday about 11:30 o'clock, ana it <
was found that the residence of Mr.
J. W. Jennings, on Bridge street, was .
| on fire. Mrs. Jennings came on the j
| back piazza and noticed the smoke, <
I the flames having caught up in the ;
! wall in the kitchen. A crowd soon
gathered and the fire was put out :
before much damage was done. The
fire was evidently the work of rats.
A Great Game. ;
Last Friday afternoon the Fats J
and Leans played a remarkable game ,
of base ball at Rhoad's Park. Each
team used seven pitchers. Denbow,
who was tooted as a South paw and
an extraordinary spit ball heaver, ,
proved a total failure, in fact he was
knocked out of the box in the first ,
inning. Col. Folk was out of form, '
in fact every pitcher was lammed un- '
mercifully. Kay Brabham caught the
only fly that was taken in during the .
game. The fielders made heroic ef- .
forts to catch the numerous flies, ,
but their efforts were in vain. Judge .
Miley managed to make several runs,
to the surprise of the fans. Klauber
made a home run?he was so swift ,
that he passed the runner that was
c-n first, in fact made the home plate
before Denbow got to second. The
game was so strenuous that it took (
thirty-five players to play five "innings.
The score was: Fats 6, Leans
13.

Presiding Elder M. L. Banks made
the announcements for the board of
:ontrol, in which he related the pro
Sress ui iiitj wuxiv uu tuc new ummitory,
and stated that Headmaster
Gruilds and Mr. W. C. Duncan had
been re-elected, with Messrs. Merchants
and Edwards as the other two
members of the faculty, the instructor
in music and the primary teacher
having not yet been selected. He
also read a resolution of thanks passed
by the board of control, thanking
Mr. W. D. Rhoad for his splendid
gift of an athletic field, and also to
those citizens of Bamberg who had
so generously contributed to the
building fund of the new dormitory.
The graduating class this year
numbered twelve, nine young men
and three young ladies, as follows:
A.gnes Pauline Connor, Alice Isabel
Edwards, John Weissinger Folk,
Elinoi; Lillias McCants, Louis James
McConnell, Hampton Aiden Mitchum,
William Duncan Rhoad, Jr.,
Edward Laules Smith, Charles Ryan
Staley, Lewis Bellinger Stabler,
Marvin Meadors Stabler, Jarvis Earl
rhompson.
In presenting certificates to these
Foung people Headmaster Guilds
made a short but most impressive
address, stressing the fact that it
was essentially the work of Carlisle
uot only to educate and train the
mind but to develop strong Christian
characters in the young people
who came within the influence of the
institution. How well the school
succeeds in its great work ample
testimony is borne in the lives of
those who go out from old Carlisle.
The address of Dr. Duncan was indeed
appropriate. Taking as his
subect education and citizenship, he
delighted the large and most attentive
audience. His position in regard to
compulsory education was most heartily
applauded, and he stated that
we were almost ready for it.
Thus closed a most successful year
at Carlisle, in fact the most success
ful, from every standpoint, in the
history of the school. That it will
go forward to greater things those
of us who know the consecrated head
and his assistants are assured, and
it will be a greater blessing to this
section of the State. With improved

Denmark Wars on Blind Tigers.
Denmark, June 2.?The town coun- j
cil of this place has been very active (
in running down blind tigers of late. 1
For a long time Denmark enjoyed j
quite a reputation as a blind tiger j
center and distributing point, but .
when the present council was put ]
into office an effort was made to
bring about a change# in conditions
? j ? j c
and detectives were empiovea auu ^
reliable evidence secured against sev- j
ral but when the culprits were z
brought to trial a defect was found in 1
the town ordinances which resulted |
in the cases being carried to the cir- J
cuit court. t
A new and effective ordinance was c
enacted after the failure of the origi- 1
nal one and lo and behold the mayor's i
court has been kept busy ev?ry since J
trying the unfortunates.
Yesterday suspicion was aroused
by the action of some of the tigers
and a vigil was kept into the late
hours of the night,- but not without
results for about 12 o'clock J. H.Robinson
and A. L. Milhous rode up in
an automobile with a load of whiskey
and beer. They were arrested,
the whiskey, beer and automobile
confiscated.
The automobile will be advertised 1
and sold at puonc auction. j
Robinson was convicted in the
mayor's court less than a week ago f
of storing whiskey but appealed. Mil- 1
