Dukes.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. The Woman's Missionary society r of the Baptist church will meet next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the parsonage.

The license of the Clio Oil and Fer^ tilizer company, of Clio, has been revoked and the concern ordered to close up its business not later than February 6, the food administration announced last week.

The ground hog did not see his ( shadow?at least ito Bamberg ground j hog saw his shadow, for heavy clouds ! obscured Old Sol all day. According to the ground hog legend, this means that winter is over. Had the ground hog seen his shadow he would have returned to his hole to remain for six weeks, indicating six weeks more of cold weather. Not seeing his shadow he is supposed to stay out, as warm weather has arrived. Fire Department Organized. A complete organization of the , Bamberg fire department was effected at a meeting of representative citizens here Thursday afternoon when tniAWAn^ "'Oc monifaof onH U1UV/11 1JUVC1COI. ???o Luauiivotvu ?uu active preparations planned for systematic fire fighting in emergencies. Twelve men were made active members of the department, all pledging themselves to do their utmost when needed, and to be on the job at all times possible. Mr. W. D. Rhoad i was elected chief, and the other officers elected are as follows: Captains, D. W. Phillips and H. L. Hinnant; secretary, A. B. Utsey; drivers of the motor truck, Eddie Jackson and J. B. Brickie; members to study the chemical devices of the motor truck, M. G. Cooner and A. L. Edwins. Each man was assigned some definite and exact duty during a fire, and will be expected to be in his proper place and to do exactly that which has been mapped out for him. In this way it is believed that an effective fire fighting team has been gotten together which will prove of untold value to the city jn the future. , The twelve members of the Bamberg fire department are as follows: W. D. Rhoad, D. W. Phillips, H. L. Hinnant, A. B. Utsey, A. L. 7 Edwins, M. G. Cooner, J. B. Brickie, Eddie Jackson, P. E. Jennings, M. G. Dunn, R. A. Delk, R. M. Rowell. Death at Cape.

Heard i i informed The Herald Tuesday that he I had forwarded to the proper authorities the applications of Bamberg county farmers for nitrate of soda. The last day upon which application could be made was Monday of this week. Mr. Heard stated that he had i received applications for 1,296 tons of the fertilizer, which is to be fur- i nished by the government at $75.50 < per ton. This amount, no doubt, is ; far in excess of the amount which will be allotted Bamberg county, as : the supply is very limited, only 100,- i 000 tons having been procured from ; I South America for this season's crops. < Figured on the basis of equal county ; apportionment, at this same rate < it would take 50,000 tons to provide South Carolina alone, or one-half of ! the total amount available. Thus ' it will be seen that the farmers can- ' not hope to secure but a fractional < part of what they would like to get. < Mr. Heard desires to express his 1 appreciation of the valuable assis- ' tance rendered by the county .committee; also of the assistance of E. < D. Jenkins, colored, of Voorhees ] school, who did good work among 1 the colored farmers. mm < ! Moved to Charlotte. Mr. H. Wyckliffe Johnson and fam- . ily removed this week to Charlotte, . N. C., where they will reside in the : future. Mr. Johnson has sold his , residence on Railroad avenue in this city to Mr. J. F. Brabham. Mr. i Johnson is one of the best known in- . surance men in this part of the . Ctoto onH it is with rtppn rP.STfit to their many friends that he and fam- ; ily have removed from the city. He , will be connected with the automobile agency in Charlottte of Messrs. ( H. S. and Decania Dowling in the clerical department. The Dowling brothers, both of whom are Bamberg men, have one of the largest agencies in the South' Mr. W. C. Patrick, also a former Bamberg citizen, is also connected with the Charlotte agency of the Dowling MoI tor company. | Commence Examination Friday. The local exemption board is busy each day now mailing out notices to the four or five hundred registered j men of this county placed in class 1, which notices order the men to appear before the examining board for their physical examinations. Only the men in class 1 are being called, and the notice gives them about a ' week in which to appear. Fifty notices a day are sent out and it is expected that approximately that many men will be examined each day once the doctors get started on them, thus requiring about ten days to examine the entire number. 1,774 men altogether are registered from tins counLy. me exaxuiuatiuu ui those in class 1 will begin Friday, the 8th, and continue each week day until all of them are dispensed with. The present call does not include any men of any other classes. Outline of Home Study Course. 1.

Duncan surprised his many friends here Sunday by being married in Ehrhardt that afternoon to Miss Eleanor Moore, a popular young lady of that place. The ceremony was performed at the Methodist parsonage by the Rev. C. S. Felder, pastor of the Ehrhardt Methodist church, and the couple came on to Bamberg, where they are now located at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Hand on Main street. It was known that they were paying considerable attention to each other, but the marriaee was altogether unex pected at this time even by their closest friends, and consequently was a very quiet one and witnessed by only a few people. Mrs. Duncan is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Moore, of Ehrhardt, and had made her home < with her brothers there for a number of years. She is well known in that community and throughout the coun- < ty as a most lovable young woman. The bridegroom is originally from Union and came to Bamberg a year or more ago, where he has made many friends and is now a successful business man. Almost Fight for Gasoline. Last week, after the gasoline shortage had been on for several days, 1 almost a dusturbance was created ' right on ^lain street when a local 1 dealer received four drums of gas which he had sent a truck to Black- : ville for. The crowd gathered around as if they had never seen any before and it was a regular show. Automobilists and other consumers ; had a tough scramble trying to get up where they could get their share. The local situation was relieved 3n Saturday when a tank containing about 6,000 gallons of gas arrived in the city. This will provide the consumers for a few days at least. Last week a good many gas users ! received a sad disappointment. After ; being without the precious fluid for some time, the good news was rapidly spread that 8,000 gallons was on the side track here. , Later they found jut that it was not gasoline at all. but was a tank of kerosene. May Plant Watermelons. Some discussion has been going iround in Bamberg county among the growers of watermelons whether or lot it would be advisable to plant nelons for market this year. It was i matter of doubt whether or not watermelons would be classed as a !ood product; in case melons were . lot so classed, it, of course, would )e extremely doubtful if cars would ^ >e available for shipping to Northern markets. The letter below re- ' ;eived by Congressman J. F. Byrnes !rom Herbert Hoover, national food idministrator, clears up this point. # ( 't will be noted that the food admin-^ strator classes watermelons as pershable foodstuff, and that he will ^ render all assistance possible in proriding proper transportation., facili- , ies, and the fact that he advises the x # ilanting of melons is taken to mean ;hat it will be advisable to plant this :rop as usual. The letter follows: "United States Food Administra- ( :ion, Washington, D. C., Jan. 29 L918. Hon. James F.,Byrnes, House )f Representatives, Washington, D. \ J. "My dear congressman:?Acknowl- ( edging receipt of your letter of Jan- , lary 21, and returning herewith let;er dated January 17 from Mr. J. ( 7. Morrison: ] "Watermelons are classed along ^ with other perishable foodstuffs, and :he food administration will render . ill assistance possible in seeing that ;he necessary transportation is afforded when the shipping season jommences. There is no reason why fou should not advise your friend ind constituent that there is no conlition that should prevent the uslal planting.

Ulmers, Feb. 4.?On Thursday afternoon, accompanied by a few most intimate friends, Miss Annie Lou Dickinson and Mr. Eldon Kirkland motored over to the Baptist parsonage at Sycamore and were married by Rev. Mr. Shealey, pastor of the bride and groom. Mrs. Kirkland is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Dickinson, and her girlish beauty and winning ways has won for her many friends who are glad to know that she will continue to make this her home. Mr. Kirkland is the eldest son of Mrs. Anna Kirk [ana ana nas Deen in our miust auuui Jive years, having come here from Bamberg, and holds a very prominent position in our town. ^ ! > ? Red Cross Doing Good Work. / The Bamberg Red Cross chapter is doing splendid work these days, probably better than ever, and the ladies have always done their Part ind acquitted themselves well. They ire working hard and should be encouraged and made to feel that w*e ill appreciate and take pride in their ichievements. On Thursday the ladies of the Bamberg chapter shipped ;o headquarter^ in Atlanta three large boxes containing the following useful articles for our soldiers: 30 sweaters, 13S pillows, 22 hospital bed shirts, 6 pairs of pajamas, 7 pairs of socks, 1 pair of wristlets, md 2 helmets. This is the largest shipment the chapter has yet made and it must be gratifying to those who have labored so diligently to see such a growing interest in the work of the chapter and its branches. Probably, no Red dross chapter in the State similar in size to the Bamberg chapter has surpassed the excellent work of this chapter, for boxes have continually been going from here to headquarters, and other splendid work has been done by the ladies ever since the local chapter was organized. Annual Meeting Held. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Enterprise Bank was held at the bank in this city a few hays ago. The same officers were re-elected for another year, with the option of Vice President N. A. Hunt rolin HioH ra^ontli' Mr 17! P Hays has been elected vice president to succeed Mr. Hunt. Seven per cent I was added to the surplus fund of the bank, and a nice sum carried to the undivided profits account. The con- i dition of the bank was reported to be very satisfactory. ^ < > A nationw i d e campaign to complete the enrollment of our forces in conserv ation of our food supply, is a duty of necessity, humanity and honor. As a free people we have elected to discharge this duty, not under autocratic decree, but without other restraint than the guidance of individual conscience. ?HERBERT HOOVER. _ ; f \ Cotton Oinnin&s.
