W&t Pamberg peralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday,. March 7, 19^8. ? The announcement is made that the next liberty loan campaign will be launched during the first part of April. Bamberg county did not nearly do her part in the first loan. In the second campaign she did much better, but still did not take her apportionment. Let it be said of the third liberty loan that the county did her full part. The government is giving the people the oportunity to lend their money for the prosecution - * ??? I>a/ii-rn intM'Oct f.'.T* it U? tile >v ai a.liu. ocvun; mw wv ~ - If the people do not continue to respond in a liberal manner, the government will take the money?that! . is everything will be taxed so high , that it will be equivalent to taking it. For the government must have money, plenty of it, and it intends td get the money. There is not the slightest intention on the part of the government to stop the prosecution of this war on account of money. The country is worth, hundreds of billions, and it takes about a billion a month at the present rate of expenditure. Every one should feel it not on'y a duty to lend the government money, but should esteem it a high privilege to do so. The sooner this country* gets on a true war basis, in our judgment, the quicker will the war be won. That it is now far from being won is the general concensus of opinion among those who ought to know. The.people should be willing to do anything and everything that the success of ? J onnool Viae our ii-Tills ueiliauus. X no ayytu,. uu,>j x frequently gone forth for the people to conserve on the use of wheat products. It is explained that it is not practicable to supply our soldiers and /the soldiers of our allies with corn products, and for this reason the government needs all they heat possible. The present programme of compelling the use of an equal amount of corn with wheat will doubtless increase the supply of flour for shipment abroaij. And, yet, 1 if it is necessary, why not stop the use of flour entirely among civilians? If the eating of cornbread will help win thd war, we say stop the use of flour entirely by the people at home. Surely, this would be a small sacri flee. Let's get down to brass tacks, and do those things which are necesary, instead of hoping against hope to win the war without ^sacrifice in the next few months, which is an error common to the present day that is doing much to retard the prosecution of the great struggle. It is no ordinary enemy that we are fighting, and ordinary methods will not suffice, 'that dire necessity is going to compel unheard of sacrifices on the part of the people before the end of the war is no longer doubted by well informed people, and the sooner these sacrifices are made the less lives it is going to take to wind up the war. W ' '* V4> We hope every one of our readers started last week reading the "German War Practices." If our people will read this booklet, which will be printed in full in The Heraldd, they will be astounded at the revelations it contains. For instance there are not many people who really believe Germany ever had any designs on America. If you will keep up with this official narration vou will v find that Germany not only has > designs now upon this country, but years ago planned at least it's Germanization, if not utter subjugation. There is no longer any doubt what. ever about it. Official documents now in possession of our government prove that Germany's design was the overrun of France; the defeat of Great. Britain and the other European allies, and then the invasion of America. Little Belgium saved the situation by putting a stumbling block in the path of the German army. Supose there had been no opposition to German armies passing through Belgium. Paris would have been taken within sixty days; the defeat of Great Britain would not have been difficult, and then it would have been America's turn. What-could ~ America have done to withstand such an enemy? With its thousands of miles of unDrotected coast, and the whole of the German navy untouched, would it have been difficult to land German armies in the United States? At that time we had but a handful of trained soldiers, and there had been mo war preparations at all. In the story of the German war practices, in a later installment, wijl be found an authentic statement by a . German officer made just after the Spanish-American war, that Germany would start her great war in fifteen \ years from that time (1900) and that Paris would be taken within a few weeks, and that when Germany completed her European campaign, she would take America and make her pay for Germany's war; also that America would be put in her proper position with respect to Germany.

Recent orders received at the postoffice go a long way toward broadening the scope of the parcel post service. Heretofore parcel post packages have been limited to 50 pounds in the first, second and third zones. Under the new regulations the weight limit is increasea to < u pounds. The former measurement limit was 72 inches in length and girth combined; it has been increased to S4 inches. The weight limit in other zones than the first three has been increased to 50 pounds. This new regulation will make it possible to send much larger and heavier packages through the mails than Jieretofore, and will make the parcel post system more popular and useful than ever. It has been found impracticable, however, to increase the weight limit of packages sent tc soldiers and sailors in the expeditionary forces in Europe. This limit remains at seven pounds as heretofore. Be sure and read "Over the Top," commencing next week in this paper, IDEAL PRESSING CLUB.. A cause without complaint means a lost customer; so please make all reasonable complaints; it will be a pleasure to make correction, if possible.

We have two military colleges ir the United States, West Point tc train young men for army life, and Annapolis to train for the navy. It has long been,the custom practiced by nearly all of our congress ? -1? ? rs. A r? ttrt Uamo men since recousuucnuu ua;a, xxvu*. George D. Tillman, W. J. Talbert, George W. Croft, Theo. G. Croft and J. 0. Patterson, to fill vacancies from time to time forHhe scholarships allowed by our government to each congressional district by competitive examinations. These competitive examinations are beneficial to the brainy and aspiring young men of the district. Further, to get our best talent to compare with other young men from the various sections of the United States and bring our brightest boys to the front these examinations accomplished this purpose. And many of the heroes of our past wars, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, U. S. Grant, Dewey, and others were graduates of these institutions, and very probably would never have been heard of were it not for these colleges. Lieut. George Etheredge, the heroic son of Saluda county, got his appointment by a competitive examination and would probably nevei been heard of in this war, had it not beep that he was given a chance. Our present congressman was tc change the order and pass these ap pointments quietly in Saluda countj to a son of a large and influential family and in another to a son of a very wealthy and influential man ir Aiken county. Not that there can b< one word said against either. Thej are probably deserving young men This method is not Jeffersonian democracy?"Equal rights to all anc special privileges to none." Is this another piece of politics tc gain votes? If not, why is the dooi of hope closed against many of oui deserving young men? Why shoulc not all have been given a chance ai these appointments, which are wortl $4,000 each? Can our people endorse this pro cedure? Senators Tillman and Smith are filling these appointments by competitive examinations. i This is another very importanl matter that can well be added to Mr | Toole's questions that were askec Mr. Byrnes recently and have noi been answered.?Saluda Standard ?Advertisement. /fflT* 75 ~=* ? p W%P^S WE INVITE YOU 1 Opening Thursday and F / Mrs. Shuck is back with us again this season, and will be glad 1 > t spent several weeks in the great markets, and you will not find a m i time.
