)t Pamberg peralb
l;ST\BI ISHKI> APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, November 8,1917.
We are mighty sorry that the city
fathers could not see their way clear
to commence a little paving at this
time. We trust the delay is only
temporary, and that the matter will
not be permitted to die out complete
ly because of the inability of the
council to raise the necessary fundsjust
now.
* * <: * * #
Beginning last Friday, the people
began paying war taxes on letters and
other mail matter. Where two cents .
used to carry a letter it now requires
three cents, and where one cent carried
a postal card, two cents are
now required. Three-cent letter postage
is calculated to raise more than
seventy million dollars in revenue
per annum. The war is coming clos
er home every day.
\ ******
We are glad to note that Chief
Kirkland has started in to enforce the
city's traffic ordinance. We trust
that he will enforce it not only at
the street corners, but in all particulars.
There are more motor vehicles
on the streets of Bamberg now
than ever before in the history of the
town. The more cars we have, the
more public safety demands a strict
regulation of motor traffic.
******
Speaking of the war, we notice
that a Greenville boy was one of
those captured by the Germans the
other day. Thus, tne first South
?
Carolinian has 'en into the hands
of the Germans from among America's
forces in Europe. It will be a
matter only of weeks before we hear
that the first Bamberg county boy
has happened to misfortune in
Prance. There should be no spirit
of levity about this war business.
Every day the war comes closer
home. And we may as well prepare
ourselves for bad news, for certainly
there will be bad news before the
victorious end is heralded. Bamberg
men will be among the captured, killed
and wounded.
?$
We thought Fire Chief W. D.
Rhoad had about persuaded the city
council of the advisability of purchasing
a truck for the use of the
fire department. That was. some
time ago. As nothing has been said
about it lately, the idea must have
been given up. If the, fire department
had had access to a motor
truck Monday, there is very little
doubt that the fire at Mr. Jones's
house would not have amounted to
near so much as it did. Also the
city is sadly in need of some sort of
fire alarm system. This thing of
having to fire off pistols and shotguns
like a charge against a German
first line of defense is about fifty
< years out of style. Of course there
are so many things the city needs,
it is possible there are more pressing
demands upon the city exchequer.
******
Now that the strictest economy is
being urged upon the people, they
can help some by saving the government
money. For instance, when
mailing letters, (parties -should never ,
use three one-cent stamps on one
letter. Instead a three-cent stamp
should be used. This saves the gov
ernment the cost of printing two
stamps. One-cent stamps should no#
he used on letters or postcards except
where stamped envelopes or
cards are used, and where the stamps
are one or two-cecent denominations.
Also the people can help the government
in another manner. All parties
residing on rural free delivery
. routes should have their mail delivered
by the carriers. This helps the
route to insure its continuance. The!
same thing applies to city delivery.
If mail that should be delivered by
carrier is handed out at the general
delivery window, it entails extra extra
expense upon the government.
Fundamental.
# He looked at his wrist watch.
"Will you marry me?" he said. She
blushed.
"There is really no time to lose.
Tou see I have only had twenty-four
hours' notice. I must report at headquarters
tomorrow at 9. We sail for
France in three days. Will you marry
me?"
"T J 'A ?J '? :,1 ?rk?lv T
x uuix t iiuiiu, siiw saiu. 1
should li!:e to rcake one condition."
"And this is?"
"I have dreamed for years of getting
married, but not in this way.
But I will marry you if?when you
return?you will pror.ose to ire aili
j
over again, and we can go on a,
honeymoon, and I can be courted,
and?well you know, I am sure!"
"A1! right," he said, with a smile.
"To be honest with you, dearest, Ij
thought I was going to escape all
that?but I see it's do use. 1 might:
have known better. Even a war like
this cannot keep a womVn from hav-j
ing her own way?especitllv about a
wedding."
If the price of ga-oline beeps on'
mounting, It ought to put a damper
on the automobile thieves.

"Vitona overcame a serious attack j
of kidney trouble that had been pulling
me down for 20 years, and I have
gained 18 pounds since I began taking
this remarkable preparation," said
Hon. Jno. W. Bullock, formerly deputy
court clerk of Greenwood county',
S. C., a few days ago. Mr. Bullock
was born and reared in South Carolina
and is one of this State's most
prominent men. He also served as
clerk of the ways and means committee
of the South Carolina legislature
and was later inspector of dispensar-l
ies for the State.
"No one knows how I suffered all
those years," continued Mr. Bullock.
"I had awful pains in my back and
| sides, and my sleep was broken all
through the night. I had severe head!
aches and was dreadfully nervous.
I My appetite was poor, and I lost
! weight and strength until I was so
{weak I could hardly stand on my
feet. My whole system was run-down,
;and I finally had to take to the bed.
jl tried all kinds of medicines, but
[nothing reached my case.
"A friend knowing the condition I
was in, advised me to take Vitona,
and after a few days I noticed an improvement.
It just looked like the
| more Vitona I took the better I felt.
!l seemed to gain strength every day,
;and now I feel like a brand new man
jand consider myself in as good phyjsical
condition as any man in the
'State. I have a big appetite, what I
jeat agrees with me perfectly, and I
sleep like a log. I get up every mornjing
feeling rested and refreshed and
i ready for a big day's work. The head|
aches have disappeared and I am not
nervous and dizzy like I was. I don't

have those pains in my side and bask
now?in fact," all my troubles ksv* *
been overcome and I am full of mow
life and energy. I really wouldn't .
take $5,000 for the good Vitona did
me and I urge anyone who has kidJMT
trouble, or is in a general run-dowm
condition, to get a bottle at once, ft
certainly builds a man up."
Mr. L. S. Bean, the Vitona expert,
made the following statement:
"Vitona, the wonderful new discovery,
is daily overcoming catarib,
stomach and kidney disorders, rhemmatism
and blood disorders, an<{ is <
building up hundreds of listless, ramdown
men and women. Vitona is met
to be classed with the average pee- v
prietary medicines, which, in mam?
cases, are nothing more or less tkam ' r.
medicated alcohol, which stimulates
and does not give lasting relief. V3tona
is more than a medicine. It is
the liquid extraction of a rare miners*
combination, prepared in natare's
laboratory, in the bowels of the e&rtk *
ages ago, but therefore unknown t#
man. It contains iron, calcium, sodium,
lithium, stontbian, magnesia*,
and other monerals, each of whiah
possess great therapeutic value."
Vitona is sold by Mack's Brae
Store, Bamberg; Peoples Pharraaar,
Denmark; J. H. Roberts, Ehrharit. m.\
