* f Wfyt pamberg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, April 26, 1917. The Herald has stated so repeatedly that it does not publish unsigned communications that we thought everybody must know it. However, we received an unsigned communication Monday. We. of course, cannot print it. Newspapers have most excellent reasons for not printing anonymous letters. There is no way of ascertaining the authenticity ot anonymous letters. The Herald will print news letters if the writer will sign his or her name to let us know who is responsible lor the letter and f.ffnotnw bur communications UIllll v, the nature of which is express the opinions of the writers must be signed for publication. If you wish to express your opinion on any matter, you should be willing to let the people know who you are: and if you don't want the people to know your identity, you had better not send it to The Herald. Address to Colored Fanners. \ ????? ? \ Editors Bamberg Herald:?The civic preparedness commission, colored, working under and in cooperation with the white commission. Col. D: R. Coker. of Hartsville, chairman, was given instructions by Col. Coker and urged to go immediately to work and prevail upon our people to plant plenty of foodstuffs, economize and act at once. A chairman for each county was appointed and instructed to work in cooperation with the white people and farm demonstration agents, white and colored. Mr. Sparks, secretary of the commission, with headquarters in the State company's building, Columbia, is ready to give information to -colored county chairmen. The time to do ef fective work is short. Colored peo. pie should call meetings and organize on or before April 28th. Here is a chance for every colored leader, preacher and teacher to show his interest in his people. There is no money for the leaders in this movement, as I know of. and nobody is promised any money, but every negro who is interested in his race has a chance now to show himself loyal by giving instructions to the colored people and disseminating the information they get in the communities where they live. The colored preachers would do well on the remaining Sunday in this month to preach the "full gospel"?salvation of soul and body. The Newberry patriotic meeting on the 17th was the best I know of and the most effective and far-reaching. The white farmers came to the court house the day of the meeting, bringing the colored farmers to hear the speeches on preparedness.* I believe that the negroes in each county in the State will see more clearly their duty if the Newberry example is followed. Every negro preacher, teacher and pastor should get busy with pen and tongue. Whatever time I have to give to this work I am giving free of charge and 1 am not asking anybody to do what I am not doing. If anyone wishes so to do, come to my place in Kendalltown. when I am at home, and you will see that I am practicing what I am preaching along this line. I leave on the 28th for Alabama to spend one week and I x am urging our people between now and that time to get busy and plant every vacant lot in something to eat for man and beast. RICHARD CARROLL. Chairman Xegro Civic Preparedness Commission for South Carolina. How Much is a Billion? * " How much is a billion?not dollars, but a billion anything. A traveling salesman asked Mr. R. L. White if he could grasp the stupendousness of the amount and Mr. White said he couldn't. Then the salesman gave him some idea by stating that only one billion, seven million, five hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred minutes will have passed at the end of the year 1917 since the beginning of the Christian era. And yet the United States is about to raise seven billion dollars for war. If the above figures are incorrect figure it out to suit yourself.?Greenwood Journal. Turn About is Fair Play. "You are not making up that prescription as I would," remarked the stranger who had dropped in "Dump in a little of this and a pinch of that." "What do you menu? Are you a druggist?" "No." "Then why do you try to tell mt how to run my business?" "Oh, l*m the manager of the bab team. I notice you in the bleacher? occasionally handing me unsolicited advice."?New York Herald.

The killer whale usually travels | i and hunts in "schools" or packs of from three to a dozen or more in! dividrtals. Tnlike most whales, the members of these schools do not travel in a straggling party, but swim side.by side, their movements as regularly timed as those of soldiers. A regularly spaced row of ad-, vancing long black fins swiftly cutting the undulating surface of the . I sea produces a singularly sinister ef! feet. The evil impression is well I justified, since killers are the most savage and remorseless of whales. The jaws are armed with rows of effective teeth, with which the animdls nttarl,- anri Hpvnur seals and nor poises and even destroy some of the larger whales. Killers are like giant wolves of the sea and their ferocity strikes terror to other warm-blooded inhabitants of the deep. The Eskimos of the Alaskan coast Bering sea consider killers as actual wolves in sea form. They believe that in the early days-, when the world was young and men and animals could change their form at will, land wolves often went to the edge of the shore ice and changed to killer whales and the killers returned to the edge of the ice and came out as wolves, to go ravening over the land. Some of the natives assure me that even today certain wolves and killers are stiH endowed with this power, and. on account of their malignant character, are much feared by hunters. Killers are known to swallow small seals and porpoises entire and attack' large whales by tearing away their fleshy lips and tongues. When attacking large prey they work in packs, with all the unity and fierceness of so man>\ wolves.?National Geographic .Magazine. More "Info" Wanted.
