Editor Bamberg Herald:?In view of the generous response of the young men of South Carolina to the call of our President for men to man the ships of our Navy I take this opportunity to thank you, personally, for the valuable assistance you have so generously given us in our work. Without this patriotic and unselfish attitude on the part of the State nrocs all nnr efforts would have been / unavailing, as we could not have gotten the very necessary publicity. At the present time we are allowed to enlist only ten men pe^ week " from South Carolina. I am afraid our weekly quota will be still further reduced. I would, therefore, recommend that any young man desiring to enter the Navy apply as early as possible. Our Navy is a great institution, and offers a fine opportunity for the young man under 21 years of age to serve his country; broaden his views of life; see the world; and assure his future. A simple reading of Admiral Gleave's report of the convoying of our first troops to France by the Navy should be inspiring to every young man, and if inclined that way, should influence him to join the Navy now, or for country boys, after crops are gathered. We only have vacancies as Apprentice Seaman and Fireman Third Class. Again thanking you for making my work in South Carolina a success and my stay here an unalloyed pleasure, I am, very sincerely, O. F. COOPER, Lieut. U. S. Navy, Reoruiting Officer for South Carolina. Columbia, August 2. Visit Roll Weevil Country. Monday morning a pafty of Bamberg gentlemen left the city for an automobile tour of the boll weevil infested territory of Georgia and Alabama. The Darty is traveling in several cars, and will be away for a week or more. A telegram from Americus, Ga., Tuesday morning announced the safe arrival of the party at that place. The destination of the party is Montgomery, Ala. The party will study boll weevil conditions in Georgia and Alabama, and expect to secure much data on the pest. As the weevil is expected to appear in Bamberg county next season, this information will be of great ?alue. The party was arranged by Secretary Paul Whitaker, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. J. J. Heard, county demonstrator. Those from this city in the party were Messrs. Whitaker and Heard, .Mr. L. M. Ayer and Mr. LaVerne Thomas. A number of citizens from Denmark, Olar, and other parts of the county, are included in the party, which will return to Bamberg probably the first of next week. The electric companies in California, since they came under the control of the railroad commision. have spent more than $100,000,000 in extensions and betterments. . Read The Herald, $1.50 a year. Conditions Much Improved. The following report oil the prohibition situation in Bamberg county is reproduced from an article by the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, published in the daily papers a tew days ago: From Sheriff Ray. of Bamberg: "I am glad to say to you that the conditions in this county under the quart-a-month and the new federal law are very much improved. "1 have had no reason or suspicion that the laws have been violated, except in one instance, when I seized a trunk of whiskey at Denmark, in transit from Jacksonville to Warrenvil 1 rs ? 1X1^. "I believe that we are about ready now for 'bone-dry prohibition.' "Yours very truly, "S. G. RAY, Sheriff." Johnson-Armstrong. Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother in Blackville a very pretty home wedding was solemnized when .Miss Ruby Fay Johnson became the bride of Mr. Jack Armstrong, Rev. E. 0. Watson, of Bamberg, performing the ceremony, in . the presence of both families and a few friends. .Miss Johnson is one of Blackville's most charming young ladies and is well known in Bamberg. Mr. Armstrong is a former Bamberg resident, but is now connected with the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company in Columbia. Many pretty and useful gifts were received by this popular couple. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong left in a car for Denmark immediately after the ceremony and from there to Columbia, where they will reside in the future. Four-Minute Men. The president of the United States has authorized the organization of LI?.;.., a department tor puoucu.v uu &uujects connected with the war to be composed of volunteer speakers to present topics of national importance to moving picture theatre audiences. The moving picture managements throughout the nation have agreed to cooperate in the movement, and the organization is being perfected for. the daily presentation between moving picture acts of matters of vital importance in connection with the war. There are 115 moving picture theatres in operation in South Carolina, and it is estimated that an audience of 40,000 can be reached daily in this way. Mr. La Verne Thomas, manager of the Thielen theatre in Bamberg, has agreed to have these men present the war issues between acts from night to night. Speeches are limited strictly to four minutes, and each speaker will pack those four minutes full of facts. The movement will probably be put on in Bamberg for next week. The following are the four-minute men already enlisted for Bamberg: S. G. Parrpr J. F. Carter, Jiaj JLlCXUt x-r. n/v.. .w - , R. P. Bellinger, H. M. Graham, J. J. Heard, Paul Whitaker, F. K.

The following synopsis of the opinion of the supreme court in the case of J. A. Sandifer versus the A. Q. L. Railway, which was appealed from Bamberg county, is reprinted from the State of Monday: J. A. Sandifer, plaintiff-responddent, against Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, defendant-appellant. Action for compensatory and punitive damages. Appeal from refusal of motion for nonsuit and refusing new trial on the ground that the verdict as to punitive damages was excessive. 1. The verdict being sustained by the evidence, the motion for nonsuit was properly refused. 2. There is no evidence that the punitive damages were excessive. Before Judge Prince, Bamberg. Affirmed. Opinion by Eugene B. Gary, C. J. This is an action for compensatory and punitive damages, alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff on account of injuries to himself and property through the wrongful acts of the defendant in failing to keep the highway crossing its track in proper repair. The defendant denied the allegations of the complaint, and set up the defense ,of contributory negligence. At the close of the plaintiff's testimony the defendant's attorneys made a motion for a nonsuit on the ground that the accident occurred, as it were, from the falling of a large quantity of surface water, and that is in the nature of an act of God. Further, that the plaintiff has shown that there was no negligence on the part of the defendant company, whatever, in the matter, the rain having fallen only a few minutes before that. Upon the same ground they also made a motion for a nonsuit as to punitive damages. Both motions were refused. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $40 actual and $700 punitive damages. The defendant's attorneys made a motion for a new trial which was refused and it appealed. The only exception which raised a question of law was abandoned. The other exceptions assign error on *he part of his honor, the presiding | judge, in refusing the motion for a i new trial, on the ground that the verdict as to punitive damages was excessive. The appellant's attorneys did not 1 discuss tlie testimony in detail, nor j do we think it necessary to do so. ! Our conclusion is that the verdict j is fully sustained by the testimony I and there is no evidence that the j punitive damages were excessive. Affirmed. We concur: D. E. Hydrick, A. J., R. C. Watts, A. J., T. B. Fraser, A. J., George W. Gage, A. J. Chambcrs-Zeigler. j At high noon today. .Miss Frances Chambers and .Mr. Jacob Alonzo Zeigler. of Gainesville, were married at the Hyde Park .Methodist church b> Rev. L. .M. Broyles. The wedding was a very q^iet and informal affair, only the immediate family and a few close friends witnessing the ceremony. The church was cool for the summer day with quantities of palms, these being the only decoration. The bridal music was in charge of .Mrs. E. H. Hart, who played "An Enchanting Dream" and "A Love Song," as the guests assembled. The bride was charming in her traveling costume, a natty dark blue suit with hat, shoes and other accesir? ?rflv with which she wore a corsage bouquet of white roses and lilies-of-the-valley. She entered with her parents and was met at the altar by the groom and Rev. Broyles. As the marriage vows were spoken, .Mrs. Hart softly played Dvorak's beautiful "Humoresque," and to the glad strains of .Mendelssohn's "Wedding .March," the couple left the church. Mr. and Mrs. Zeigler left today for a honeymoon trip to parts unknown after which they will be at home in Gainesville. Mrs. Zeigler is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Chambers, and a young woman of wonderful strength of intellect and .character, has been prominent in all civic movements that tend toward uplift and public welfare. The art of telling a story glowingly and interestingly is the gift of few, but Mrs. Zeigler has endeared herself to Tampa kiddies and grown-ups. too, by her inimitable way of making things in the story-land vivid and J J OT-\S3 real. sne is mueeu cm LUX CU auvx | charming. j Mr. Zeigler is connected with the!

Marion, Latta, and Dillon, and points in North Carolina. Mr. Muller, after inspecting the tobacco fields in the Pee Dee, came back an enthusiastic believer in tobacco raising. He believes that the weed can be grown profitably in Bamberg county, and is anxious to see the industry started here. Mr. Muller visited one of the warehouses while a tobacco sale was going on. This is quite a treat for those who have never attended a tobacco sale. Unlike other farm products, tobacco is always sold at auction to the highest bidder. Experienced auctioneers are employed during the selling season, and the big tobacco houses each have representatives to bid on the tobacco, which is placed in piles on the warehouse floor, according to grades: The tobacco growers have a buyer also, who bids in the product when he considers the price too low. One farmer, states Mr. Muller, bought a place last year, expecting to be several years in paying for it. His tobacco crop this year brought sufficient profit to pay for it in full. Another farmer planted twelve acres in tobacco this year. Rain and hail completely ruined six acres of his crop, but the remaining six acres cleared $1,200, and he considers that only about two-thirds of a normal crop was made. Still another planter sold his crop of twelve acres for $3,500 gross. Mr. Muller says some of the land does not appear to be very rich, but fine crops of tobacco are seen everywhere. The price of tobacco this year is high, many piles of the weed selling for as high as 35 and 40 cents per pound, the average price being about 28 cents. Mr. Muller says that he was informed an experienced man can easily be secured for this county, if the farmers wish to try growing tobacco. Mr. W. W. Barr, Jr., Elected. The following dispatch from Orangeburg in the News and Courier will be of interest to the many friends in Bamberg of Mr. W. W. Barr, Jr., for several months a resident of this city: "Mr. W. W. Barr, Jr., has been selected as secretary of the Orangeburg chamber of commerce and agriculture to fill the vacancy made by the recent resignation of Secretary W. P. Pike, who has accepted the secretaryship of the Peekskill, N. Y., chamber of commerce. Mr. Barr is a young man of ability and comes well recommended. With the hearty cooperation of the citizens of this city and county, it is expected that the chamber of commerce will make rapid strides toward the betterment of the community." Good Crop in Bamberg. The following crop renort 'rom Bamberg county was clipped from Sunday's State: Bamberg, August 4.?The condi?e r>rnn?: in Ramberg county lll/il Ui, Lixv v* ?? _ is very good indeed. The weather generally has been quite favorable throughout the county, and the farmers are looking for a good yield all along the line. Much attention has been paid to gardening and it is estimated that the acreage planted to grain, garden produce and other foodstuffs is about double the amount of land devoted to such crops heretofore. Being Good. Mary Pickford, the "movie star, says: "It is easy for a pretty girl to be good if she is rich, but a pretty girl who is poor has a lot of temptations. The pretty girl who is poor is a little bit in the position of the boy in the p-mr>prv sllOD. O* vvv.% "A grocer leaned over the counter and yelled at a boy who stood close to an apple barrel: 44 'Are you trvin' to steal them apples. boy?' 44 'No?no, sir,' the boy faltered, 'I'm trvin' not to!' " Greece of today, embracing the socalled old Greece and the territories added as a result of the Balkan wars, has an area of opproximately 44,700 square miles, with a population of 5,000,000. "Are There Atrocities?" At the meeting of the state council of defense Tuesday Chairman Coker recited a number of reported atrocities committed by the Germans in Belgium and France and Flanders. These awful statements that come from the war zone are so terrible that it is difficult to believe them. Yet some of them are true. When the Rev. Dr. Kellman, chaplain of a regiment of Scotch Highlanders, was in this country recently, he was asked the direct question by the editor of the Record: May we believe the statements of atrocities that have been committed by the Ger- f man soldiers? Dr. Kellman replied that he did not know what had been reported in this country, except cas- \ ually, yet no statement could have j been exaggeration. He spoke of Ger| man soldiers cutting off the hands of Belgian children, and this is known to be a fact, because some of the children are in the United States now. He told of the standing of Belgian child pn against a wall with arms and fingers outstretched so that German ! marksmen could try to shoot between | their fingers?and usually with painful results. There was one statement made in public by Dr. Kellman that showed why the British are so much in earn- f est in this war. At first Xhere was apathy in Britain, much as there is in this country today, and for the . * same mistaken motives. Why should Britain be taking up Russia's and France's cause? That is the way many Britons felt. One day in a German trench a few yards in front of the trench of some Scots, the screaming of women was - - heard. The Highlanders became irantic, made a charge at the cost of much life and took the trenches. They found there the naked bodies of Belgian women whose breasts had been cut off while they were yet alive. That is the thing that has put Great ,, Britain into the war with her whole / heart. . * . The British have such a high regard for women that this incident7 made them furious with hate. They knew that the coldblooded German officers had taken this means of t*~ing to frighten the allies into submission. "If- we keep up the war, our own women will suffer the same kind of fate," is the psychological idea that .'? the Germans sought to cause the ^ British, to get. t But, instead of intimidating the j Britons, it has maddened them, and < they will not cease fighting until this * war has come to the stage when it can be said that there will be no % more atrocities of war. And that is why the United States must go into this war with full vigor. We are just three years late in get- ' . :'i& ting started. The despoliation of ^ Belgium was enough to have taken -a* ; ^ us into the war; the sinking of the ^ Lusitania should have been followed 4*1^ up more rapidly, except for the fact. Jk that the great-hearted man in the' ^50 president's chair was willing to sacrifice somewhat of national dignity in v4^ order to preserve peace as long as possible?with the hope of obtaining .. an effectual peace. And now that war has been forced upon us?not once, not in an incident >r which might have been forgiven, but because of an attitude and an im periousness which carried a grim threat and a grave foreboding?there are cravens in this country who know better and yet are trying to persuade the people that the United States has no right to be in this war. Such "ersons should be interned along with } the other Germans in the federal prisons of this country?Columbia - Record. i Easy. Bill?He always said he'd never marry until the right girt came along.
