tEPamberg Heralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 29. Xo. 50. Thursday, Dec. 9, 1920. ?= ^ According to the crop reports, the country has made the largest food crops this year on record. Corn, potatoes, wheat, and all the way down the line' of the lesser crops, great yields are reported throughout the country. With such a magnilicent harvest, there is very little danger of anybody coming to want, although Smith Carolina farmers, apparently are going to be pre|ty shy of cash for the next few months. And this, of course, means that everybody else is going to be shy of cash. The Herald forgot last week to extend its usifhl invitation to the little folks to send in their letters to Santa Claus. Old Santa may not be as pros- , perous as last Christmas, but we suspect the old fellow is not going to forget his little boys and girls entirely this Christmas. So, take your pencil or pen in hand and write Santa Claus your usual letter. Send it to The Herald, and we will publish it next week, or the week following. We should like to have a big bunch of Santa Claus letters next week. To he published next week, though, you should mail to The Herald some timer this week. There are a good many people who entertain the idea that President Wilson has been partial to the Catholics. This may be correct; we do not know. But it appears to be a fact that the president is quite unpopular with the Sinn Feiners, the Irish Catholic party, who have staged demonstrations against the president, which would appear to indicate that President Wilson has not been pleasing to the Catholics in regard to Ireland. In perhaps the same manner, the Democratic party has been accused of being the Catholic party in American politics, whereas not a single state in the unw;tv. q inrtrpi Catholic population | 1UX1 WJ.IUL c* voted for the Democratic ticket. , All of which indicates that you can't believe all you hear , about politics, especially in presidential election year. ^ in ?

Each time before a large audience. Each time in a different part of the United States. And each time, when the audience was asked to distinguish between Miss Shepherd's voice and its Re-Creation the verdict was "No difference!"

If there's any less gasoline used we have not i noticed the effect. They wear just as fine clothes, and there seems to be plenty to eat. What more is wanted? Xot so much money to throw away, assuredly, and there are some who are inclined to believe that that is not so bad for the average person, anyway. For those who entered into the spirit of the various war restrictions, they are living better now than they did then. Funny, isn't it? You take up your paper and read where the price of hogs has declined to the 1913 quotations, yet when you go to buy a little piece of meat for dinner, you get the same small portion you have been getting for the past three years. When is this reduction in price ever ; going to reach the ultimate consumer? Likewise, we are told by the 1 packers that beef is going down by : leaps and bounds, yet your dollar : buys the same little piece that you ! used to get for about a quarter?so 1 small you can hardly discover the i gravy when it's cooked. The u. c. < seems to never share in the reductions. - I i "You ought to move your paper to, 1 Denmark," remarked a Denmark cit-j 1 izen the other day, when we related! g to him the difficulties of the electric; power situation in Bamberg. "We will give you current 24 hours in the i day, and 365 days in the year." And we sighed, yes, sighed.

We can't be blamed for wishing Denmark was in Bamberg just now. The power situation here is just about as bad as it could very well be. We don't blame anybody. But the fact remains that it is fierce, to put it in good clear English. Monday the current was so weak, that by the most exasperating method in the world we managed to get three columns of reading matter set up for The Herald before night. We have set twelve columns in the eanie time. This concerns the day current. The night current is just as bad, and unless some steps are taken to remedy the situation the town is bound to suffer.
