Cije Pamberg Heralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, May 30,1918. The entire county has responded in a magnificent manner in the campaign for the second Red Cross war fund. The county has doubled its q(iota, and then some more. The people have not only cast their enthusiasm into the fight, but their money is at the disposal of the government. tf Special mention should be made of J ' ? ? ?n AA tn? manner in wmvu luc wiuicu j^v pie of the county have responded to the call for the Red Cross war fund. They have responded in a splendid and substantial way, and their contributions have not only been generous but general.-Great enthusiasm has been aroused among the colored folks all over the county, and they are to be heartily commended for their patriotic stand. We don't know whether there is an ordinance in Bamberg regulating motorcycles or not, but if there is not there ought to be. We see quite a few of these motor vehicles in the city frequently, and we notice that < they are to be frequently seen on the sidewalks. This appears to us as 1 being very dangerous, and we sug- ; eest to the city council the advisa- . bility of "regulating these vehicles ; before some fatal accident brings j \ tragedy into the /town. ; m i? m j A Washington dispatch a few days < ago told of a visit of Congressman : Byrnes to President Wilson on a con- < fidential mission, and the writer says i that "it is known that Mr. Byrnes 1 enjoys the confidence of the presi- ] dent." This is interesting in view of : the. fact that from some sources the attempt has been made to circulate i the report that the relations between j Mr. Byrnes and the president have i not been so cordial. It is a fact that c Mr. Byrnes enjoys an intimate friend- i ship^with the president, and that the i president sends for the congressman ( on occasion to confer with him on 1 matters of vital importance. * Mr. s Byrnes occupies a very important ? position in congress, being a member 1 of the important appropriations committee, upon which the financial c^n- 2 duct of the government rests. i Red Cross Worker Honored ! By Nurses Association * ' t Mlas Jane Van De Vrede Nominated * Director For 1919-1920.\ ^ 1 Miss Jane Van De Vrede, of Savan- s nah, director of the Bureau of Nurs- i j Ing, Southern Division, American Red t fVoss. has recently received word from Mrs. Charles D. Lockwood, chair- 1 man of the nominating committee of t the American Nurses Association, of s her nomination as director of the as- s > sociation for the term of 1919-1920. This is one of the highest honors that can be given a member of the * nursing profession and comes as a c recognition of Miss Van De Vrede's ^ splendid service. The nomination "> will be confirmed at the association convention the first week in May. a , a Appropriations For Relief Work ! In France Announced By Red Cross War Council I " I * : ? ?? The Relief work of the American * Red Cross in France is already well c under way, and appropriations jfor 6 this work to the amount of $30,519,- t 259.60 have been made by the Red Cross War Council to cover the period from the time when the United States s entered the war up to April 30, 1918. a Of this amount, $14,019,889.50 is for t military relief, under which head c comes everything pertaining to hospitals and hospital supplies, canteen service, and arrangements for the rec- * reation and comfort of the American soldiers when off duty. \ For civilian relief, including Sid to t refugees, care and prevention of tuberculosis, care of children, re-educa- c tion of mutilated and blind soldiers 3 nd eronprnl rplipf wnrk in kit districts 1 of the devastated area, a total of $9,- c 566,482.15 has been appropriated. The bureau of supplies and other administrative bureaus will receive $3,359,541.75. Under this head come all transportation facilities, the dex partment of engineering, the expenses of 27 warehouses and insurance on goods stored therein, as well as all office expenses In France. Under the head of miscellanebus activities, for which $3,583,346.20 has been appropriated, come such things as relief of the families of sick and 'wounded French soldiers, all emergencies, the American ambulance fund, food for the French people, the Red Cross health center and other - similar work. In addition to this amount, an appropriation of $7,063,649.12 has been made for the purchase in the United ? States of supplies for shipment to r xaiiuc. Of this appropriation, only a very S small percentage goes for salaries as 1 more than 3-4 of the Red Cross work- T ers in France are volunteers, a great many of whom even pay their own ( expenses. It has been estimated by ( the War Council that for every dollar donated to the war fund, $1.02 it spent ^ la direct relief, the .02 being interest* ^ I \ % CRALISLE CLOSES SESSION j SERMOX SUNDAY BY DEV. MARK L. CARLISLE, 1). D. School Enjoyed Largest Enrollment in History.?Xo Graduating Class This Year. The annual commencement sermon of Carlisle school was preached Sunday morning at the Methodist church by Dr. Mark L. Carlisle, of Ander soil. Dr. Carlisle delivered one of" the finest addresses heard in Bamberg in a long time. The subject of Dr. Carlisle's sermon is found in Hebrews 12:27, "Things which cannot be shaken." Previous to>the sermon. Headmaster J. C. Guilds made a short talk on the work of the school for the past session. .Mr. Guilds stated that during the session just ended the enrollment of the school had reached 162, which is some twenty more pupils than ever enrolled at any previous session. Mr. Guilds announced that foi several reasons the annual graduating exercises, usually held on Monday evening, had been called off. Governor Manning had been expected to deliver an address on that occasion, but the press of official business had prevented him from coming. Inasmuch as the raising of the standard of the school had prevented the graduation of the usual class this tear, and the prevention of Governor Manning's coming, it was decided not to hold these exercises this fear. Mr. Guilds announced, howaver, that one young lady, Miss Mulliaix, had completed the course, and vould be awarded a diploma privately. After further announcements, Mr. Guilds introduced Dr. Carlisle. Dr. uarnsie siaieu mat uc v?aa lot a -stranger here. Fifteen year's igo he had preached a sermon on a similar occasion in Bamberg. The discourse was along the lines of the var. The subject was closely allied vith many, phases of the war, and the liscussion of these relations comlined to make the address one of the strongest and clearest it has been the ;ood fortune of Bamberg people to lear. A number of things in this world ire unshakable. Among them, he lamed truth, freedom, faith in God, rrayer, and finally, and greatest, God limself. Discussing truth, the speakir related how Germany had at the jutbreak of the war endeavored >y a net work of untruth attempted o put herself in the position of a nild lamb being attacked by wolves. Pruth, however, cannot be downed, t came out, and# it came out so trongly that even Germany now does lot attempt to justify her position >y attempting to prove she was at-' acked. It has been clearly demonsrated that she and she alone was reponsible for the awful conflict. The peaker here digressed long enough o say that he believed as firmly as le believed anything that the power >f the devil is behind the German :aiser in this war, and that we are ighting the most powerful earthly illy the devil has. For this reason done. Dr. Carlisle prophesied that he kaiser would go down into disas- 1 er because his cause is not founded i >n the solid rock of truth and justice. The question of freedom is eximplified in little Belgium today. By the overrunning and rape of Bel;ium, and the conquering by overwhelming arms, there now remains >nly a little strip of territory about ' i by 20 miles, left of Belgium. Alhough their country has gone, the ove of freedom of action and thought till abounds in the little kingdom, md the spirit of the people remains , mbroken. Just so long ag this spark | >f love of freedom can be kept alive, 10 power can wipe this nation off the ace of the earth. In conclusion, Dr. Carlisle pleaded with the people tc let their foundaion rest upon God who throug all the :enturies, stands unshaken. Build 'our reputation upon a solid rock, litrh vnnr ideals tn the thines that annot be shaken, is his advice. After he incidents of the past four years, me is likely to question, "is these mything solid, anythiifg stable?" In Jermanv where education had been ostered to the highest degree, and 'eligion had supposedly reached a ligh state of cultivation, things are lot stable, because of the absence of Jod. Dr. Carlisle was to have made the mnual address before the Young People's Christian association at the baptist church Sunday night, but he vas compelled to leave for tiome. rhe community was very fortunate n securing for this occasion Dr. E. if. Poteat, former president of Furnan university, who was in Bamberg Sunday night, and delivered one of lis famous addresses. ' Dr. Poteat is veil known here, having made the iommencement address before the Carlisle school a few years ago. The subject of Dr. Poteat's address vas prosperity in the South, and it vas founded upon passages from the FREE ERuift Ail TAXES U. S. War Savings Stamps Are Free From Federal, State Or Local Taxation-Pay t Good Interest. One of the advantages of the war avings stamps as an investment is that they are not subject to taxation. The following statement in reference to this feature has been issued by the war savings committee: "When preparing for the issuing of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates, the national administration very wisely decided that they would not be subject to any taxes?federal, state or local. In this respect, they are entirely unique, being free when almost everything else of value is subject to impost. "As the amount that an individual mav hold is limited to $1,000. this con- s cession does not deal unjustly toward other security holders. It is simply an inducement to the small investof ito make an unusual effort in his own country's behalf by depositing as much of his surplus with the government as possible. Those who buy these little bonds?and all should do it?should understand in advance of the coming days of taxation return in April that whatever of their earned savings or surplus derived from economics is converted into Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates need not be recorded upon the assessor's blank. As the interest and principal are payable in 1923, neither is it necessary to make mention of the investments in the return to the income tax collector. "They are, as stated, absolutely free and, as they also pay 4 per cent, compound interest, are the best securities that one can buy m these troubled times. W. 8. S.

A lie JJUpuiauua ui ir WUpuff Is 1880 and the sales up to February 16 were $2,441.28, wich represents $1.30 worth of war saviiigs stamps and thrift stamps for each person in. the town. The balance of the state has sold only $.092 per capita. Woodruff, therefore, has made the best showing in the state up to the present date, and expects to conduct the campaign even more vigorously. w. s. s. Colored School Makes Record Seven-Mile School Near Charleston Has 100 Per Cent. War Savings Stamp Enrollment. Charleston, S. C.?The 7-Mile School at Mit. Pleasant, S. C., has made the ' leading War Savings Stamp enrollment in the State of South Carolina, according to reports in so far. This is a colored school, and the teacher and very pupil owns at least one thrift stamp, which is considered an excellent showing, and which is taken here as an indication of what can be accomplished in the schools of the state. W. S. 8. HOORAY FOR CHARLOTTE! % Washingtno, D. C.?Charlotte, Michigan, a town of 5,800, has the distinction of being the' first tbwn in the oountry to make a percentage of 100 r?n the sale of war thrift stamps. Ac cording to reports reaching the national war savings committee here, every man, woman and child in Charlotte owns at least one thrift stamp. eighth chapter of Deuteronomy. He related how after the civil war conditions were bad in the South, and the people were in sore*circumstances, but that a few years ago the economic and industrial resources of the South began to be exploited, and prosperity began pouring into the Southern States. The present war had done much to develop these resources to a highly profitable state, and the placing of the army cantonments had contributed largely to bringing to the South much prosperity. The marrow of Dr. Poteat's address on this subject was to warn the people of the peril of prosperity. The making of money is a worthy ambition, but it is fraught with many hidden and possibly unseen dangers. He pleaded with the people to use their wealth not only wisely, but for the elevation of mankind and the furtherance of the Kingdom of God on earth. National wealth had imperilled nations in Bible days, and the peril is present today. This wealth can be of untold benefit to the world, or it can sink our own nation into disaster. He pleaded with the people to give of their means to the worthy causes now presented, and to humble themselves before God. vB*3)k8^W * .scP Vott idrAi^.iwmpntS. Tom. Ducker?Savo. J. T.
