tKje pamkrg Heralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, October 18, 1917. Speaking of food conservation, il all those parasites traveling around as fortune tellers and such "professions" were put to work and made to earn an honest living, it would help along a little. ****** That was a handsome act of Mr. S. G. Mayfield at the meeting Tuesday, when he offered a motion for a vote of confidence to Congressman Byrnes for his course in congress with reference to the war with Germany. The resolution shows to the world that Bamberg people are squarely behind the president and congress in the present crisis, and is a further expression of their loyalty and patriotism. ****** There is no doubt in our mind that a majority of the people of the State not only desire but demand that Senator Tillman return to the United States senate next year. This is 110 time to talk about a change. Even scores of citizens who have the best interests of the State at heart, and who are not old-time followers of Tillman, realize that during the present crisis it would not do to put a new man into harness. The senator has served the State for 24 years, and has thus gained an influence in the senate that the State cannot af ford to lose at this time. There is also logic in the statement that an active man should make the race. This Senator Tillman may be unable to do, and if it is a fact next year that the senator is not physically strong enough to wage an aggressive campaign, why not some one make the canvass for him? This has been don? before, when it was considered necessary. If the State's interests demand the return of Senator Tillman, there are men in the State who have the ability to do the campaigning and who should be patriotic and! public-spirited enough to do it. ****** Farmers are now receiving war' prices for their cotton. It is nothing less than their duty to invest a portion of their war profits in Liberty bonds. The farmers are more pros-i .perous than anybody else in the! South, and their prosperity is a di-| rect result of the war. It is to be; borne in mind that they are not giv-j ing the government a cent by buying! bonds; rather they are making an! excellent investment paying four per cent, interest. It is a splendid way to lay aside some savings, and at the same time help to win the war. Money j is the great factor in the present war. The several million Allied troops! fighting in the trenches cannot be sus- j tained except by the expenditure of j millions of dollars in supplying am-; munition and equipment. The^prob-i able reason for the present great offensive, which has been pushed with so much success, is American money subscribed during the last Liberty loan. Heretofore it has not been possible for the Allies to launch an offensive and keep it up for the lack of ammunition. The entrance Of America "with her millions has enabled the British and French to get plenty of munitions, we can reau the result in the papers every day. Every dollar invested in bonds hastens; the end of the war. v Protected. j . Whistler, the famous artist, once invited Mark Twain to visit his studio to see a new painting he was! just finishing. The humorist examined the canvas for some time in silence, then said, "I'd do away with that cloud if I were you," and extended his hand carelessly toward one corner of the picture as though about 'to smudge out a cloud effect. Whistler cried out nervously: "Gad, sir, be careful! Don't you see the paint is still wet!" "Oh, that doesn't matter," said Mark, "I've got my gloves on."?Jack O-Lantern. Horse Still Has His Part in War. We go forward on foot into a region where the only vehicles are .the l^Ticr nf artillery caissons, oblong AVAA? aamvm V.. ? ? - _ steel boxes filled with shell, which are horse drawn, and the water carts which are horse drawn also. For the horse still lias his part in war? a bold one as it ever was. As he can pass over rough ground he goes into ares where no motor vehicle except the armored motor cars called "tanks" may go. In the machinery of killing he is still man's friend. He brings a touch of life other than human into that dead world.?Collier's. On Conspiracy Charge. New York, October 15.?A man who gave his name as William J. Dunbar was arrested here tonight by the police charged with conspiracy to obtain information against the United States through enlistment in the army and navy. He was turned over to the federal authorities. \ KG ROES AT THE CAMPS. A Sen*ible Appeal to All the People , of the South. Today the negro selectmen will begin reporting at Camp Gordon to prepare themselves for service in uniform under the American flag. They are coming exclusively from points in the South?they are our own Southern negroes, born and reared among us, and essentially a part of the man-power of the South. They are the "cotton-picking" negroes; the descendants of those faithful slavefolk, who, during the civil war, gave to the world an unparalleled demonstration of loyalty by faithfully guardind and ministering to the needs of the dependent women, children and mon tvhiio tiip ranahlp manhood Viu liXVU ?> - of the Confederacy was away on the battlefields. Actuated by the atrocious riots of colored regulars at Brownsville, Texas, some years ago, and at Auburn, Texas, only recently, there has been some expressions of misgivings about the wisdom of assigning of negro selected men for training in any Southern cantonment. ! However, if officered as the recruits will be, by men of tact, firmness, reason and executive ability, there need be no apprehension of trouble at Camp Gordon, nor in Atlanta, if the civilian population, in its demeanor toward the colored men in uniform, is governed only by the spirit of patriotism and common sense. T A + ^ Vtr\r\r\A 4-Vio* PAlnroH 11/ IS LVJ UC llU^/CU L li CL L vuv vviviuu people, in the service and out of it, are fully imbued with the fact that their race is on trial before the nation today as never before in its freedom; and that its happiness in the future hinges in no small measure upon the ,record it shall make during the period of national stress in the face of a foreign enemy. And there is plenty of evidence going to show that the negroes are fully cognizant of this, and that there is a deep-seated determination among them to make that record a good and creditable one. As to the white civilians on the street, they will do well not to lose sight of the fact that every colored man in khaki is filling a place that otherwise a white man would have to fill; that he is prepared to face dangers that otherwise a white man would have to face, and that many of them, perhaps, will lose their lives on battlefields?lives as sweet to them as the white man's life is to u: mm. The negro in the service is, like the white man in the same service, in it j because his country needs and has called him there; and in entering it j he is under the same honorable obligation to do and to die, if necessary, for his flag and his country's honor. And if these things are taken into J full consideration, and the proper [ spirit of tolerance and the proper decorum is manifested by both whites | and negroes, each race deporting itself according to the principles of reason, justice and moderation, Camp Gordon will turn out a complement | of as fine colored troops as ever stood I in uniform, and of which the South and the entire nation will be proud. And it will have been done without a ripple of racial discord.?Atlanta Constitution. New Advertisements. Tom Ducker?Apples! H. L. Hinnant?Wanted. Stokes & Love?For Sale. Ideal Pressing Club?Lost.

Health Restored by Yitona After All Other Medicines Failed:?Feels Young Again. "I am the happiest man in Columbia today and I want to tell the public it's all because of what this Vitona has done for me," said John Wesley Gay. Mr. Gay lives at 2229 Laurel street and is a wellknown coach carpenter for the Southern Railway. 1 "I have never spent money to better advantage in my life than when I bought Vitona," he continued, "for it overcame troubles that had been pulling me down for the past three or four years. I had serious kidney trouble which brought on rheumatism and I had an awful time of it. My stomach was also in bad condition. I had no appetite, was nervous and couldn't sleep well. I had pains in my side, shoulders and neck, and my condition became so bad it was all i couia ao to stay on my job. I tried all kinds of Medicines and was under treatment of doctors, but nothing seemed to reach my case and I kept getting worse. "I heard about Vitona and decided to try it, but had very little faith in it doing me any good. I began to feel an improvement before half the bottle was finished and I now feel like a different man. The rheumatism has dis appeared, the pains have left my sides and neck and I feel like I did when a young man. My stomach is in good condition and my kidneys no longer bother me. I'm not nervous like I was, my sleep is sound and restful and my appetite is good. Vitona is the finest thing of its kind I've ever seen and I am more than delighted with the results. I think everybody suffering with kidney trouble should know of this wonderful remedy." ' Vitona is now sold at Mack's Drug Store, Bamberg; also Peoples Pharmacy at Denmark, and J. H. Roberts, at Ehrhardt. I VISIT THE S I J JL | Fair V i ~ T T Football Game A. - | Groun< | f .
