Thursday, May 23, 1921. It is only a few weeks before the opening of the Bamberg tobacco market. It is understood that there will probably be some change in tliemanagement of one of the warehouses here, but the change has not been announced. The outlook is, however, that Bamberg will be very fortunate this season in having experienced warehousemen in charge of both local houses, and that the farmers may expect the Bamberg market to rank well among the leaders in the state. This will be Bamberg's second season in the tobacco selling business, and The Herald trusts that this market will receive the full support of every tobacco planter in this section. There is not $ another market of any consequence in the southern portion of the state, and it is decidedly to the interests of all parties concerned to make this market all that it ought to be. The indications are that a much greater acreage has been planted in tobacco this season, and the selling facilities in Bamberg should be made as attractive as they are in any of the big markets. By providing facilities here the equal of the other markets, the county is going to reap a great benefit, not only to the tobacco industry. but the entire county as well. The farmers are looking to tobacco this year in this county as never before as a profitable crop. Heretofore the planting of tobacco has beenmore or less in the experimental stage here, but now with the cotton prospects practically swept away ruin will stare many planters in the fare if their tobacco crop fails to bring them in a profit. The people have planted with the belief and confidence that there would be a good market here, and from all that we have learned of the plans for this; season, we feel assured that the planters may expect a market in Bam- ( berg that will fully meet their ex-1 pectotions. j Much local interest is attached to ! the Christian educational movement] of the Southern Methodist church. j The campaign for the raising of $33,-! 000,000 for the institutions fostered by the southern church will open j next week. The campaign is of par- ] ticular interest to this community in I view of the fact that Carlisle school j is to participate in the fund to the extent of $105,000, if the entire amount is pledged. The campaign pledges cover a period' of five years. Carlisle school is one of the very best assets of this entire section, and the progress of the campaign will be watched by all friends of the local school, regardless of denonvnational j choice. Carlisle school is a part of Bamberg, and as such is not merely a denominational school. Friends of the school, of whatever denomination, are anxious to see the school make progress. We should' all like to see the school made a junior college, and this appears to be more than a possibility. If the school can attain the rank of a junior college, one may not have to stretch his imagination far to see the prospects of a full fledsred 1 college in Bamberg before many' years. The fact that there is not a I college of any kind, denominational j or secular, in this section of the j sta^e makes the possibility of the ! establishment of such an institution only a matter of a few years. If Bamberg wants such an institution, now is the opportune moment to lay the foundation. With a greater Carlisle school, promoted according to the plans of the educational movement, there will be located here the * best equipped plant by far that could be used as a nucleus for a coljege. With the people of Bamberg whole heartedlv behind the school during ? : r^ V> /~k T-i r\ tne campaign, LUCIC nui uuu.^i in the minds of southern Methodists that Bamberg wants a greater school. It is to be borne in mind that an educational institution is a prize that is coveted by all progressive towns and cities, and there are many that are willing to put their money up for its location. q&-Under Those Circumstances. ''Say, will you mind this suitcase for me for a few minutes?" asked a young man in a railroad station of a fellow voyager. "Sir!" replied the other, drawing himself up. "Do you know who T am? I am a United States senator!" "Well, in that case." said the other doubtfully, "in that case and seeins: I've got everything I own in there, maybe I better take it along myself."

Faith Sunday in the Educational Movement. ! _____ In our Educational .Movement, June "th is to be known as Victory Sunday. Why not call May 29th Faith Sunday? The Christian religion has its sources in faith and moves in the , realm of faith, and never outside of it. Rationalism has its source in the visible, tangible and humanly possible. Its creed is. according to your cash so be it unto you, but to the Christian, his creed is. "According to your faith, so be it unto you." "This is the victory. that overeonieth the world even ?? .,..^11. our iaun. w c <xi t; f.\nui ieu iu \\cinv by "faith and not by sight." In the Educational Movement too many of us are insisting on walking by sight. We are saying wait until i times are prosperous, then we will do this great thing which means wait until we get the cash and then we. will accomplish this task. If we wait for the cash, we will have no need of faith. Faith comes when we have no cash. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the proof of the unseen." Faith extracts cash out of the skies when we do not have it. The man who says that we cannot do this job has lost faith, i First: he has lost faith in his*God. j He does not believe that passage i which says "Take no thought for tomorrow, what ye shall eat or where-j< l i ! withal ye shall be clothed, sufficient j , : unto the day is the evil thereof." "If j God so clothed the grass of the field j which today is and tomorrow is cast j into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, oh ye of little faith." Such a man does not believe there will be any more sunshine and show ers. He does not believe there will be: I j any more seed time and harvest. God is dead, and Providence has made an assignment and he has enquired for ! the nearest Juniper tree. i ; | Second: he has lost faith in himself, j' ''T4p l;noir5 rhnf hp Imc hPPTl nhlp to ! !achieve in the past, to earn money,!' I to produce. But today both hands are ; up and he is down and out and say- I I ing by acts if not by words I can nev-j; er come again, I can never achieve,!] never earn any more, never can pro-1' ! duce. He lias not faith in himself, i, 1 i Third: he has lost faith in his coun-l l j | try. There was a time when he gloried ji j in the greatness of the south, its na-1; tural'resources, its agriculture, its;! | manufacture and its commerce. But ? all that is a thing of the past. The 1 ' south has no future. He has no faith in the future. i, Is it not strange how quickly men forget: In 1014 conditions were far i i worse than they are now. Everything I was stagnant in the business world, i The streets of our southern cities I were piled high with cotton and there j was no market. It would not even j bring the pittance of five cents perj | pound. There was a patriotic appeal | made to the people to buy at least one bale of cotton from a patriotic motive, so we bought it and set it on our front j verandas to proclaim our patriotism. In five years time, just the period of our subscription to the Education ?M. B.

As in the case of Abraham offering Isaac, Gideon taking Jericho. Israel crossing the Red Sea. etc. What would have happened if our fathers in their day had failed to meet the challenge of their faith? What shall happen if we fail rn our day with a wrecked and ruined world to he reconstructed not only in its economics but in its thinking, in its philosophy. in its ideals? We wonder if the Great Intercessor is not whispering to His church in this crucial hour, "1 have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.*' And by the sign of the. cross, by the compulsion of love, and! by the power of a conquering faith, may we go -forward realizing that faith lights the darkest valley.

"Why have you never married?" inquired the sweet young thing. '^Because,*' he replied in a tone of wisdom, "I have always noted that i I when two people of the same type marry their happiness is marred by monotony caused by their likeness to each other. The reason 1 have never married is because I have never found a.girl of the type opposite to me." "Oh, that should be easy," she replied. "Now, I know a number of nice, intelligent girls, who?" At this point he went away abruptly. She never understood why he left. ^^ ~ CCU^7J^^ 1 he life of a man when he I fining, to discipline, than I siness man of today, owes 1 sure to proper training as | II nkSgcoT^ Lue to Drop I 8 loose ground, 1 if i 16c 11 iers Friend, 1 $1.39 ' II Olive, Fairy, | m -e 8c | | ip, 7e cake, I || r 20 c 11 ge can, sweet | H for table use.... 23c I >Ut -r' ; 42 c 11 lad Dressing, | m 44c 11 ad Dressing, | m 36c 11 32c 11 54c | | 12c 11 kinds, from 8c % 'M ) 47c |S ocery Line, | ifference | jj South Carolina. | || ^ )??&
