Bellinger, American Expeditionary Forces, has been transferred to the legal department of one of the hospital camps in France. Fletcher Wright, a cplored soldier of Camp Jackson, died of pneumonia following influenza at the camp last week. His body was brought to Bamberg, his home, for interment. The closing down of the cotton mill has seriously handicapped The Herald office, as our day * current is generated at the mill. - The closing down necessitated getting out this wboI-'s issue at night. . - The boll weevil has been operating at Allendale, in Barnwell county, and has also reached Bamberg county. Cattle, hogs and food crops offer the one sure way to beat this pest.? Charleston News and Courier. The Bamberg Herald issued its Prosperity Proclamation edition last week. The edition certainly does Bamberg county proud, and is a credit to the community, the county and the Stated?Aiken Journal and Review. A colored convict on the county chain gang died of pneumonia following an attack of influenza, one day last week. Practically the whole force on the chain gang has been suffering with the disease, and Monday morning there were fiye cases of pneumonia at the camp. The longest drought of the year * ' ? _o WES DrOKen ounuay Utgm, wucu ? gentle rain fell all night. It is generally befieved that the drought has contributed largely to the rapid spread in the influenza, and it is hoped that the rain will now contribute to the abatement of the epidemic. 0 The Bamberg cotton mill had to close down Friday morning on account of the influenza epidemic. Seventy-five cases of the disease had developed among the cotton mfll employees up to Monday morning, and it was found impossible to continue operations. It is not likely that work will be resumed before next week. The many friends in Bamberg of Mr. Jake Blatt were pained to. learn * of his death at Blackvill^ a few days ago. Mr. Blatt was mah&ger of the s auto sales agency of Still & Blatt in Bamberg a few months ago, and during his residence here hemade many warm friends. * His deatn was due 1 to Spanish influenza ! followed by , pneumonia. There will be no court in Bamberg next week. The usual fall term of ! the civil court was scheduled to be held here beginning next Monday, 1 but on petition of thp court house officials and the members of the Bamberg bar, the presiding judge, Hon. 1 J. C. Townsend, consented to a postponement of the session to a later date on account of the prevalence of J Spanish influenza. Privates A then R. Morris and Corinthen C. Morris, of Olar, now in the service of the American Expeditionary Forces in Italy, have been added to the family of Herald readers. The Herald has quite a number of readers anon? the A. E. F.f hut these two ^ young men will be the first to receive the paper in Italy. The subscriptions were sent in by their frother, Mr George C. Morris, of Olar. Three of Bamberg's four practicing physicians were ill all of last week with influenza. Dr. Robert Black is rapidly recovering and will probably be able to resume his practice in a few days. Drs. J. J. Cleckley and C. P. Black developed pneumonia following influenza, and are seriously ill. Dr. Stuckey, who Mfc.s been accepted for army service, was given a furlough in order to attend the sick in the city. The "lid was off" Sunday on gasless Sundays, and as a consequence the cars were out in full force. It is said that as a result of gasless sundays there has been a saving of about a million barrels of gasoline. The response to the request of the fuel administration was so general that it has been found unnecessary to place further restrictions upon the use of gasoline for pleasure riding on Sunday. In the offiical report of the War Savines committee of sales for the week ending October 12th Bamberg county is placed fourth in the State, with sales of $4,794.25, or 25 cents per capita. Bamberg is listed as 12th in the State in total sales to that date, the amount reported being $82,907.75, or $4.26 per capita. The total sales, however, are incorrectly reported, the actual face value of all sales to October 1 being in excess of $106,000. The attention of the committee has been called to this error, and it will probably be corrected in the next official report. m ? > ?

I Committees Did Splendid Work in Carrying County Over. j To the People of Bamberg County: Governor Seay, chairman of: the federal reserve district, Rich- j mond, Va., has wired to me the fol- j lowing splendid expression of nation- j al appreciation of the wonderful re sponse of the subscribers and work- j ers of the fourth liberty loan, which j fully congratulates and thanks the j workers and subscribers of Bamberg; county: "Tabulations from telegrams and j reports so far received show that! the quota of the district has been obtained, and unofficial advices both from banks and chairmen indicate I that we shall go well beyond our | quota and maintain our proud place among the districts. The spirit of the people everywhere in the district, particularly among liberty loan workers, had risen in a fervor of de-! votion which overcame grave and j well nigh' unsurmountable obstacles. | Again we have brought honor upon j our country and in doing so everlast- < ing honor upon ourselves. The great j 'fighting fourth liberty loan' is the j expression of patriotism triumphant i which will be translated into armies j triumphant. Warmest congratula- j tions to you and the people of Bamberg county." Some have been very liberal, some approaching disloyalty have withheld j their cash. To all who have aided the nation, I thank most heartily. Those who have turned a deaf ear to this momentous call ought to have a decent spanking and sent to Germany. The ladies throughout the entire county worked most faithfully with unabated interest. I thank them most graciously. i The commendation which I also ex tend to the large number of negro subscribers is worthy indeed, for they responded with patriotic zeal. J. ARTHUR WIGGINS, , Chairman. Death of Dr. E. K. Hardin. Rev. Edward K. Hardin, D. D., prominent Methodist minister, died at hi$ home in Asheville Wednesday < night following an attack of influenza and pneumonia. Though young in years, Dr. Hardin had become a distinguished minister in his church. He was a graduate of Wofford college and for a short while was professor in that institution. After having served leading pastorates in this State, he was 1 transferred to the Mt. Vernon Meth- ( odist church of Washington, D. C., 5 the representative church of Southern' Methodism in that city. His ( pastorate of four years was eminent- { ly successful and was terminated by 1 the time limit of his cnurch. He was * transferred last March by Bishop Atkins to the Central Methodist church 1 of Asheville, N. C., and his pastorate it there was giving great satisfaction. ( Dr. Hardin is remembered by many ( friends in this city. For some time 1 he was a member of the faculty of * the Carlisle school. The remains ] were interred Friday at Chester. 1 Cornelia Mimms and her son, Edward Mimms, were found dead at c their home in the city Wednesday < morning. Both had been suffering i with Spanish influenza, and it is sup posed this caused death. Cotton Ginnings to Sept. 25. Following is the official report of ] cotton ginnings in Bamberg and < neighboring counties prior to Sep- 1 tember 25, as compared with the gin- 1 nings to the same date last year: ( 1918 1917 < Bamberg 14,127 10,593 J Barnwell 26,380 22,856 1 Colleton 7,014 5,428 Hampton 9,213 8,457 ] Orangeburg .... ..30,932 28,124 1 OVERSUBSCRIBES $76,000. Baanberg County Makes Fine Show- 1 in Loan Drive. Bamberg county oversubscribed its allotment of fourth liberty bonds by over $75,000, according to the official report of County Chairman Wiggins, which appears below. The county's allotment was $363,500, and the amount of subscriptions reported ?? - l total $439,450. The county respond- i ed in a magnificent manner to the !; appeal to buy bonds, and it is a | source of general satisfaction that the county rounded up a liberal oversubscription. Following are the official figures as reported by Mr. Wiggins Wednesday morning: _ A Bamberg Banking Co $ Peoples Bank Enterprise Bank Bank of Denmark t Citizens Exchange Bank Ehrhardt Banking Co Farmers and Merchants Bank.... Bank of Olar Totals $ v Appreciates the Red Cross. The following expression of appreciation has been received by the Denmark chapter of the Red Cross from Corporal J. W. Califf, who is doing duty with the A. E. F. in France: "On Active Service with the American Expeditionary Forces. Local Red Cross Chapter, Denmark, South Carolina:?It is with the greatest of pleasure that I write to you kind ones we left behind when we crossed the water and came to help plant democracy in Kaiser Bill's garden. I feel it my duty to thank the members of the Red Cross back in the States for the kindness we have received from you all. Doubtless you think at times that your efforts are in vain and that you are not doing u-nndprs But I have been in France for nearly a year and have spent a great deal of my time at the front, so, naturally, I have seen what the Red Cross has done and is doing. Whenever a Sammie gets lost, gets hungry, wants information, all that he has to do is to look for the Red Cross, which marks one of the greatest organizations that has been founded for the good of the boys in olive drab. I was wounded once and sent to a base hospital. There is where I saw what your organization is doing for the wounded. No words can express my gratitude. I will always feel that I owe everything I have to your organization. When you go into a Red Cross hut and possibly have not been paid for a while you get what you want. They say they are nx>t over here for money as some organizations are. When troop trains pass through and stop for a few minutes they get coffee from the Red Cross, and that certainly comes in good because I have had quite a bit of experience in those box cars and it is impossible sometimes for us to get coffee any other way. Any man who has a friend or relative over here should always contribute to your organization if he wants the boys to get the benefit of it. "Not only do we Americans thank you for all the benefits derived but so do our allies. Very often you have a Frenchman tell you about the "Croix Rouqe Americane." They are everywhere, behind the lines and on the lines. "Wishing you all the success possible. "WEITERS CALIFF. "Corp. J. W: Califf, Co. A, 12th Engineers, A. E.

The Adjutant General has issued the following rules in regard to Dhrstmas packages for soldiers overseas: "Each soldier overseas may receive >nly one Christmas box. These boxes ire of standard size and are to be lad from local Red Cross chapters in jach county about November 1st. "In order that each chapter may enow how many such boxes to order ;he chapter must be given the name >f each soldier overseas from the lounty before October 20th.

Meeting of Ass'n is Postponed. On account of the epidemic of influenza which has been sweeping ovsr the State, and the quarantine conditions, the executive committee of the Barnwell association has chang- ( ed the time of the next meeting from October 30th to Tuesday, Nov. 26th, at 11 a. m., at Ghent's Branch church.

DR. SMITH TAKES CHARGE. Government Health Officer Directs Fight Against Infln. nza. Dr. J. R. Smith arrived in the city Monday night from Honea. Path, S. C., where he has been directing-the fight against the influenza, to take charge of the situation in Bamberg and community. A trained nurse was also sent here to work in the mill village, where the epidemic is apparently paging worst. Dr. Smith was sent to Bamberg by the United States Public Health Service, and began immediately to direct the fight against the epidemic. Several days ago Mr. J. A. Wyman wired to Congressman Byrnes in Washington to see if something could not be done to relieve the situation in Bamberg, and a reply was received stating that the matter had been taken up with Surgeon General Rupert Blue, and that the health service had promised to do what was possible for the community. Mr. Wyman also wired Senator Benet with reference to securing leave of absence for Dr. H. J. Stuckey, the only remaining resident physician who is not ill with influenza. Dr. Stuckey was to have reported for service in the army last week, having been recently commissioned a first lieutenant in the medical department. Senator Benet was successful in securing the requested leave for Dr. Stuckey. While a number of new cases have' recently developed in the city and community, it is generally believed that the epidemic is being gotten under better control., Bamberg's greatest need has been far assistance to families where there were several afflicted at the same time, and there has been an organized campaign of assistance along this line. There has v loauiiiij ui uu ^*i*v/vwj vi. ^ business well ventilated as ,a measure , to prevent contracting influenza. The : front and back doors should be kept open for the free circulation of air. ' While Dr. Smith will maintain his 3 headquarters in Bamberg, he will have supervision over the campaign ' throughout the county, and will be glad to be consulted on any matters when he can be of assistance to any J other communities in the county. < i?I > Red Cross News Notes. 1 Owing to so much sickness, the Red Cross chapter was unable to; | nake a shipment of sweaters and | J socks this past week, but a box of! ;lothing for the Belgians was sent 1 :o the Belgian Relief society at Newirk, N. J. This box was contributed jy the Ehrhardt branch. . !, We have an allotment of "prop- ] srty hags" to make. These are to ae used by the French and English 1 soldiers in their hospitals. Those;!

Mrs. Key was visiting some friends and left the following note for her nearest neighbor. "Dear Mrs. Garrison: Would you please put out a little food for the cat I have been feeding this winter? It will eat almost anything, but do not put yourself out."?Punch. "It says here that a wealthy western man has left five hundred thousand dollars to the woman who refused to marry him 20 years ago," said Mrs. Grabb, as she looked up from the newspaper she was reading. "That's what I call gratitude," commented Mr. Grabb. NOTICE OF ELECTION. State of South Carolina, County of Bamberg.

The < people are urged to mop their throats and mouths and spray their noses ] with listerine, formolid or other antiseptic, and to be very careful to always cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Dr. Smith es- ' pecially cautions the people against spitting on the sidewalks, which is i a very dangerous carrier of influenza germs.
