The best wishes of a host of friends go with Mr. McMillan and family to their new home. Educational Month. April is "educational month" for the thousands of Methodists in South Carolina. A great campaign will be -conducted during that month in an effort to raise $300,00?) for the bene/ .fit of Methodist colleges and schools, including Carlisle school. Meetings have been scheduled throughout every Methodist church in the State, and from every pulpit the appeal for these great institutions will be sent out to Methodist men and women. - The great work that has been accomplished by these institution^ and j the efficient service rendered by them to their denomination and State have established their place in the educational realm. Men from Wofford have occupied many places of leadership and women instructed at Lander and Columbia have made wonderful contributions to the intellectual and social growth of our commonwealth. The aggregate value of the prop-, erties owned by these colleges is something over $900,000, with an en dowment combined of only about $230,000. The three institutions are in debt to the amount of nearly ' $200,000, and this campaign is being waged with the idea of putting them squarely upon their financial feet, and to add to their scanty endowment funds. Notwithstanding tire lack of funds in the past, these church institutions have educated boys and girls in a wholesome atmosphere at the average cost of $109 per student annually, while State owned institutions of learning average the annual expenditure per student of $227. Among the meetings to be held in this section of the Orangeburg district are as follows, giving the church, the time of meeting, and the probable speakers: , Bamberg?.March 18, (meeting already held.) Denmark?April 1, 8 p. m., Rev. F. H. Shuler, commissioner of education of the S. C. Methodists. Olar?April 1, 11 a. m., F. M. Crum, of Orangeburg. 'Salem?April 1, 3:30 p. m., F. M. Crum.

CLEAX-rP DAYS NAMED. | I j j Monday and Tuesday, April and ;J, I Designated. j The Civic league of the town of ! l Bamberg desires to direct the atten-1 tion of Bamberg people to the fact! that Monday and Tuesdav, April 2 ! I and 2. has been set apart and desig| nated as clean-up days. This act is in Keeping with the established cus-! torn of several years, and it is to be hoped that the attention given the day this year will surpass any date j of the past. j The league does not consider it , necessary to point out and name the j several things thai should be done j on these days, for the term, "clean-j nil." is self-explanatory, and if) every citizen of the town will, but; make a personal application of its j meaning to the premises of his or! her home and the town officials to j the streets and other places under i their control the result will be a' marked improvement in the appear- j ance of our little city. Why should the premises of our homes, our streets, parks, play grounds and other places of the town be kept untidy i and unclean? Why should trash and j other vegetable matter be permitted j to accumulate to the disgust of the j eye and to the detriment of our j health? Remember, it is tQO late after the germ has been bred and the resultant disease has its death grip ' upon some cherished member of members of our homes. Why not spend a few dollars or expend a little labor for the purpose of making the premises of our homes presentable and attractive, and our town clean and free from disease? Why not | make Bamberg a "City Beautiful?" Will you help? Then remember April j 2 and 3, clean-up days. .MRS. J. F. CARTER, MRS. B. D. CARTER, j MRS. A. M.

Editors The Bamberg Herald:?At ;his critical time in our national life t is of supreme importance that the lavy?"our first line of defense"? do recruited up to full strength. Twenty thousand men are needed imnediately to properly man the ships ilready built or nearing completion. I regret to have to state that the liost serious obstacle we have to )vercome in securing recruits in this State is the objection of the parents. >ome parents not only u^e their inluence to prevent their sons from snlisting but in many cases refuse to sign the age certificates required, iven when the applicant is of proper ige. The need of our country for more nen for the navy is urgent and should be given first consideration by ill Americans worthy" of the name. Furthermore the safety of the country demands that the present ligh morale of our navy be mainlined. In other words we not only leed more men but these should be )f the highest type. To accomplish this, all parents, teachers, ministers! md other leaders of community :hought should be urged to inculcate n every young man the love of county and the sublime beauty of service ;o that country and the personal na:ure of- this service. Such' service :annot be delegated to our neighbor. So man has a right to sit back and aemoan the unprepared, state of our country without first doing his utmost to help prepare. If disaster overtakes us the individual and more especially to the leaders of public; thought will go the lions share of the j blame. Arouse public sentiment to ( hho noppcsitv and the battle is half i won. This duty should be cheerfully performed by each one without thought Df reward. Fortunately however, in 1 the case of our navy, the reward is | fully commensurate with the service.! This leature should be given careful j consideration by all parents truly in-1 terested in the welfare and advance- j Qient of their sons. In addition, it is the patriotic priv- j ilege of every mother and father to ; teach their boy that his first duty is ! to his country, for by enlisting now 1 he may help to safeguard his posteri- I ty for all time. In addition he lion-1 Drs himself and them by offering his service whether it be accepted or not. ft is therefore apparent, at this-time, ' I autiful as the rare erflies are our new tions.

Carlisle School Baseball Schedule, i Carlisle school has, indeed, a very attractive schedule for the coming season. The schedule as now ar-' ranged appears below. While most. of the games listed are fixed, there , i are one or two tentative ganres list- j ed. In addition to the games here mentioned, there will be games with Chick Springs Military academy and Savannah high school. The manage- , ment is very desirous of dates with some more teams, and challenges any amateur team in the State.

Quick action now may prevent war and in case of war being unavoidable, would put our first-line of defense, the navy, in a position to use its full potential strength against any possible enemy.

' both doctorj and patients. Mr. Car- . \ rigan requests the recipes for cookLng corn meal hoe cakes*as we cook them, and with what dishes are these hoe cakes eaten. He states that, , % cooking in New England is fast be- ' \ coming a lost art, that the people are buying bread, cakes and pies -from "j the bakers, and meat and -vegetables ' ' * i j in tin cans', and eat these by merely "warming them over." He is also interested in our sweet potatoes, so . much so till he will have me ship . some seed to him, also some to a ' . .1 friend in another part of New England, and will see if our potatoes will $ grow with them. If they can sueceed in growing the Nancy Halls and, Porto Ricas, such as we grow, they will stop planting the white or Irish potato then and there. I hppe he can grow them, and I see no reason why thov ran't for New Jersey has built up a name and fame for sweet potatoes that even Bamberg county could envy. But last fall I sent a lady, whose father owns a farm in New Jersey, some potatoes and she from her childhood ate of the famous "Jer- > sey sweets" grown on her father's farm, but when she ate of the ones I t sent, she swore by Allah that the Jersey sweets were poplar roots when compared with the sort I sent. Her opinion is that the low country of South Carolina produces the finest ' potatoes in the world. She. is good authority, for she has travelled extensively, not only in this country,' but abroad. Later on I will let you know what Mr. Carrigan thinks of ' . our sweet potatoes. If I can get a 1-~4. nntotAOC \orinern market mi a?cci pviamvu, it will be a gold mine for the farmers in this county.
