Wi)t pamberg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, October 25, -917. The Liberty loan campaign is to be wound up in Bamberg today (Thursday.) The prospects are that the county will not come up to its allotment unless some good subscriptions are reported today. It is undoubtedly the duty of the people to subscribe liberally to this loan. There are many who can make no other contribution to the war?to these especially the loan should appeal. There is plenty of money in the county, and the full allotment of the county can be met without anyone feeling the slightest pinch, and it is money inTested in the best security in the world. Every dollar loaned the government now brings the end of the war that much nearer. One of the most interesting docu ments we have seen in a long time is a bulletin issued by the Committee on Public Information entitled "American Loyalty." The bulletin contains expressions of loyalty from a number of American citizens of German descent, and from th? tone of the articles it can been seen that the absolute loyalty of the writers cannot be doubted. Such names as Otto Kahn and Franz Sigel appear in the booklet. In view of the halfloyal or totally disloyal talk heard so frequently, it is good to read such splendid sentiments. We have no patience with the man who comes to America to enjoy the freedom of the greatest country in the world, and to get away from a country where the contrary exists, and then even for a moment entertains anything but the most unqualified love and loyalty for his adopted land, when conditions arise which demand / strict loyalty. As we see it, there is / no middle ground?you are either for us or against us. ****** "However we may have been treated in this State by the civil authorities?ignored, snubbed and charged fhinffa QTO Q T*0 mill tailUUO llllUgo n v u> v true to our State and to our nation. We must overlook the lies that have been printed and spoken about us by the anti press and the prejudiced speakers who have paraded the State. It is'hard to take, but we must rise above letting it influence us and save the day for our grand old State as we have saved it before." The above is taken from a statement attributed to Former Governor Blease urging the members of the "reform party" to buy Liberty bonds. If the newspapers of the State have ever abused or heaped opprobrium 1 on the so-called Bleaseites we have never read it. The only criticism we have ever read was of the Bleaseite leaders, and the only way Blease can take it to mean all his followers would be to consider himself and other leaders the "whole cheese." Nobody has ever said there were not hundreds and thousands of good men * - i- - ^ a i wno are aanereuis in me luimei governor, and they are now doing, without the bombast of their leaders, their part in this crisis. Of course the former governor has anticipated the success of the Liberty loan campaign in the State, and hastens to try to take the credit for it. * ( ajc $ * * We wish we had reason to share the view of many that the European war will soon come to a close. A close study of the situation does not, as we see it, warrant any such belief. The winter season is now so close that intensive operations are not likely to be attempted any further on a large scale this year. We do believe, though, that there is more than a possibility of peace being forced next year. America will not enter into the campaign on a large scale before next summer. Then she will throw the most magnificent, best equipped, best trained army the world has ever seen into the ranks at the front. There will be no bluff about the American army. To believe America is bluffing is to delude yourself. This country is intensely in earnest about this war, as everybody will find out. And it is well for everybody to prepare for strenuous times. It is possible the operations next summer may so disconcert the Germans that victory may come sooner than many expect it. In this instance this country may be spared much horror. A.gain, it may take a long drawn out campaign to force the Germans out of France, and it may be necessary to follow them even to the German capital before they capitulate. In that event America is in for a siege of strenuous times, when the pinch of sacrifice will have to be felt by everybody in this country, rich and poor. ^ Admiral Sam McGowan, chief paymaster of the navy, is visiting his old home at Laurens. This is his first trip home since ho donned shoulder straps of the navy. Admiral McGowan is now one of the most important factors in the navy, since all purchasing and paying for supplies is done through his office. New Advertisements. XYZ?For Sale. Williams Co.?Wanted.

Washington, October 23.?Nellie, the celebrated war dog, brought to this country by the Belgian mission, is dead. The passing of a member of the mission itself would scarcely cause more grief among them. A f firof Kof f lo af Vnrao VaI 1 io Al (,111 oL> uaLtiV/ v/i x a iviiiv trotted alongside her owner, a British officer, into the rain of shrapnel and high explosive shells with only the thought of being near her master. He fell. She, only wounded, wandered about Xo Man's land until picked up by Major Osterreith, of the Belgian First regiment of guides, to whom she transferred her allegiance. In the trenches for many months Nellie lived with the Belgian regiment, always ready to "go over the top" with her new friends. Twice she was wounded by shrapnel, but she was a wire hair fox terrier of breeding and character and never thought of deserting. When Major Osterreith came to this country with the Belgian mission* Nellie come along, and thousands of Americans have seen her twinkling her little eyes and her stubby wagging tail acknowledging their attention and kindness. Now Nellie is dead. The cause probably was a combination of wounds and age, but she always will be remembered by her comrades as a real heroine who went into battle without faltering and was faithful to her friends to the vefry last. Sousa Writes Limerick. Washington?John Philip Sousa, u'hrk U7<ac Vioro with tlio CJrpnt F Naval band in behalf of tHe Liberty loan, was banqueted by friends and former associates on the Marine band of which he was once leader. For the occasion he composed and recited this limerick: 1 joined the reserves on the 18th of May; 1 gave up my band and one thonsand per day; A dollar a day is my government pay? My boy, how the money rolls in.. How Pat Would Evade It. Pat?"Sure and I'd give a thousand dollars. Moike, if 1 knew th' place where I was goin't' die." Mike?"Faith, Pat, and phwat good would thot do yez?" Pat?"Begorra, I'd niver go near th' place, at all, at all."?Youth's C/Oinyanion. His Powerful Sermon.

A wreck on the Piedmont and Northern railroad at Spartanburg Wednesday night, resulted in the killing of two New York soldiers and the more or less serious wounding of fifteen others, including seven NewYork soldiers. All the soldiers belonged to Camp Wadsworth. "The Slacker" Draws Crowds. There was deep enjoyment for all : who saw ' The Slacker" at the New I i j Eroadway last night. Fortunate will ; be those who see it today. Since it | is so truthfully said, the description j of it from the Birmingham News is reproduced: "Its appeal is most powerful to all that is best in the man, the woman; and the child of the United States. It is the story of a fine, courageous mo.. n-l-ir. hoOn rPflPPfl in MSP I man, I1V nuv; vvvu ? ? ? -? and self indulgence, and is long callous to the call of his country. He is finally roused hv a superbly patriotic wife to a sense of his duty. The acting of Emily Stevens in this parti is most admirable; rarely does a woman so effectively display various emotions of joy and grief almost simultaneously. All the parts, however, even to that of several little children, are well played. The joy of a German father over the entrance) of his American-born son into the army is also a choice bit. The pre-! sentation of President Wilson at the end of the film, in a speech appealing to patriotic service, shows his fine profile and eloquent action to unusual advantage."?The Columbia State.
