t&t) tPamtjerg^eralb ESTAHIJSHKJ> APRIL, 1801. Thursday, July 19,1917. The Greenwood Index says there is no such animal as a German-American. In this we agree with the Index J The soealled hyphens are either Germans or Americans. Everybody in America stands for this country or for Germany in this war, and there, is no hali'-way ground. If this country is good enough to live in, it is good enough to serve. If there are) any who do not reel this way about it, 110 doubt Uncle Sam would do them the hindness to put them aboard an outgoing steamer. We believe that the most important documents ever printed in Bam-1 berg county were the original selec tive draft roll and the numbered roll. Copies of these issues will he round in Bamberg county homes years and years hence. The papers are well worth preserving for future reference, for they provide a permanent record of Bamberg's part in the greatest war of all history. Twenty-five or perhaps fifty years from today, the files of The Herald will be referred to to ascertain information about Bamberg's contingent in the European war. We are glad to be of service to the people of the county; we considered it not an obligation, but a privilege, to give the people this information. Incidentally, we may add, we have seen only two other papers that published the roll as numbered for the draft.' There may have been others, but if so, they are not on our exchange list. As a matter of fact it is a matter of impossibility for a newspaper not possessing a linotype machine to set up these names in type, and not many ? - Ui ~~ ~~ 4- * or tnose possessing ma.i:iiiiie.b ?ie lu go to the extra expense of doing so. The last issue of The Herald contained 35 columns of reading matter, local and genral news, miscellany, etc. Every line of this matter was set in the office of The Herald. We .? do not use what is commonly termed, "pot metal;" that is, reading matter tt^t is bought for a song ready set up. Such matter is used identically perhaps by several hundred newspapers, and this class of matter is not considered desirable by us. We could, however, save a lot of expense by using it. Every page of The Herald is printed in Bamberg, in our own office. The Herald is the only paper in Bamberg county which prints its .entire paper. Half of one of the others is printed in Orangeburg, and half of one is printed in Charlotte. Bamberg gets the benefit of every cent spent in printing this .newspaper. We do not say it boastfully, because it is unnecessary, but The Herald set up and printed last week twice as much news matter as both of the other papers of the county combined set and then had some five columns to spare. The Herald is the only paper in the county which has printed the information of the selective draft. Since the draft measure was passed, we have donated to this cause some $200.00 worth of space. We can not believe'that Capt. Heidt. the recruiting officer for the Savannah district, expresses the true sentiment of the government in his communication in the last issue of The Herald. Capt. Heidt, in urging enlistment in the regular army, makes this statement: "You now have the opportunity to volunteer for the regular army. The branch of the service where you are under the best trained officers, where you get the best food, best training and best care. Don't make a mistake. Get into the regulars now, there is n. great difference, you will know later." Is it to be inferred that the great national army to De secured Dy me selective draft is to be treated other than the regular army? We hardly believe this. If our understanding is correct, the president has not only never called for a volunteer army to go to France, but was decidedly opposed to it, and his views along this line are so well known that it is useless to review them. We do not consider that the slightest odium will attach to any man who is drafted into the national army, and we can certainly see no reason why the drafted army should be treated other than the regular army. Of course, there can be no objection to anyone enlisting in j the regular army who prefers not to 'be drafted, but that is a matter pure-* ly of preference?indeed the assump-j tion is to be inferred that the president would prefer for all men to abide by the draft.
