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.

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.

"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.

(il.WT WOLVES OF THE SEA.
Kuthless Killer Whales Swim in
Hanks Like Trained Soldiers.
r I
! 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
