Look how the money is piling up, we

Read this message a gentleman, in
Columbia received from one of the
boys over there, and you will start
a few tobacco kits to them:
"I used to smoke two for a quarter
cigars back home, but I never really
kneW what a good smoke was until
the day your kit came along. I hadn't
had a smoke for ten days?seemed like
ten years?and there was nothing I
wanted worse,. right then. So your
gift looked bigger than a month of
Christmas mornings to a six year old
boy. I hope you'll never be out of
a smoke yourself. God bless you."
Wouldn't you love to get a post card
from a soldier with such a message
on it? Well contribute to our Smoke
Fund and you will get one, maybe
from some one you know and love.

Orphanage Day a Success. d

Orphanage day, which was observed
at Fairview church on last Sunday re- *
suited in quite a success as the con- c
gregation was good and Prof. J. H. ^
Hope, who was present to assist the
pastor, Rev. J. M. Trodden, delivered *
an excellent address on the needs of c
our orphanages, after which a collection
amounting to $15.07 was taken 1
for the Baptist orphanage at Greenwood.
'
Prof. Hope again spoke in the afternoon
on the Y. M. C. A. work in the 3
army camps and thus closed a very $
pleasant and profitable day.

The Wool Has Arrived.
The wool for the sweaters and wristlets

supply they wish. All those who
promised to knit in the recent cam
paign made for knitters are urged to <
offer their assistance now and push i
this work through before the cold (
winter comes. The boys need these i
comforts and everybody ought to j
help; remember they are fighting for i
you and me and this is one way we 1
can make it less hard for them. 1
Phone Mrs. John A. Fant, No. 21, <
and start tonight to make a sweater j
for a soldier. It is going to be very
unpopular not to be knitting for the i
soldiers, so we warn you to start right
now and don't be seen without your
knitting bag.

Mr. Mayfield Urges that Some Action

From the Bamberg Herold, but
equally applicable to condition.^ in

The following letter addressed bv
S. G. Mayfield, Esq., to Supervisor
McMillan has been handed to The
Herald for publication:
"Mr. L. P. McMillan, county supervisor,
Bamberg, S. C.
"My Dear Sir:?As one who travels
the public highways of Bemberg and
who has the best interest of the traveling
public and his own safety and
that of his family at heart, I am writing
you this letter to protest against
the reckless driving upon our public
highways of automobilists.
"A few days ago the writer was
on the road to Denmark; two automobiles
were coming toward him.
One was driven and occupied by a
lot of colored people, the other by a
half dozen white gentlemen. As the
machine which the writer was in
approached the one driven and occupied
by the colored people, the two
machines separated, going upon their
respective sides of the road, and each
one was running at an ordinary rate
of speed, but the third machine ocrM-niort

cut in between the two machines at
a rate of speed that was terrific. Ilad
either of the machines that were
then passing swerved in the least,
there would have lyen a dangerous
collision and perhaps a dozen people
injured, perhaps killed.
"The 'speed limit* allowed in the
county of Romberg by the statute
law of the State is fifteen miles per
hour. Many of our people are running
at the rate of forty to fifty

miles and just as surely as it is continues
there will be accidents, injuries
for life to occupants of the automobiles
and perhaps death. Now, it is
for each family who is the owner of
an automobile to say whether or not
it wants the members of its family
injured or killed, or that members of
its family should injure or kill other
people.
I think there should he at this
coming session of the legislature at
least one rural policeman, whose duty
it shall he to police roads against
reckless driving of automobiles.
"The man who points a loaded pistol
at bystanders and fires at random,
though he hits no one, is guilty
of an assault against each one toward
whom he pointed that loaded
gun, and if death ensues from the
shot the party is guilty of manslaughter.
The person who drives at a terrific
speed down the highways endangering
the life of all, commits an
assault and can he punished therefor
by anyone who will prosecute. 1
am writing this letter in order that
a check, if possible, may be placed
on the reckless speeding, and the
lives and rights of our people may be
safeguarded by enforcement of the
law. Very truly,
"S. O. MAYFIELD."
