SHOUT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest. Throughout
the Town and County.
W. H. Townsend, of Columbia, has
been elected judge of the first circuit,
vice M. L. Smithy resigned to accept
a commission in the army.
Mesdames C. J. Field and J. F.
Jennings will be hostesses to the
Francis Marion Bamberg chapter, U.
D. C., on the 12th at 4 o'clock. A
large attendance is earnestly requested
as business of importance will be
discussed.
Mr, B. H. Carter, of the Ehrhardt
section, has just returned from Char
leston, where he recently went to
have an operation performed for cancer.
His friends will be glad to know
that the operation was successful and
that he is now doing fine.
Mr. Frank H. May and Miss Lillie
May Brickie, both of Cope, surprised
their many friends when on
last evening they, in the presence of
a few friends, were married at the
Methodist parsonage, by the Rev. G. j
W. 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. Every member is
urged to attend this meeting, as the
president has some very interesting
I new plans for the year to lay before
the society.
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tilizer company, of Clio, has been revoked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. Speculation
- in and hoarding cottonseed was the'
reason assigned.' The company had
* on hand 3,092,000 pounds of seed and
only operated two and a half days
within the past year, it was stated.
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.
Cope, Jan. 28.?Mrs. Elden P. Garick,
of this place, passed away this
morning about 9 o'clock after an illness
of only a few days. Besides her
husband, Mr. E. P. Garick, Mrs. Garick
leaves five children, the eldest
a young man just about grown, the
youngest an infant only eigh? days
old. Mrs. Garick was a member of
s,
the Baptist church, and her remains
will be laid away at Bethel church
4 tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
MiUer-Loadholt.
Fairfax, Feb. 1.?Sergt. A. M.
Loadholt, of Camp Jackson, Columbia,
and Miss Lillian M. Miller, of j
Salisbury, X. C., teacher of the sixth j
and seventh grades of the Fairfax1
high school, were married, at the Lutheran
parsonage here on January
27, by the Rev. D. B. Groseclose.
The marriage was a surprise, though
it had been expected by the friends of
the bride and groom. The bride is a
sister of Mrs. G. W. Loadholt.
Many Nitrate Applications.
I
\ Countv Demonstrator J. J. 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.

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.

Moore-Duncan.
Mr. E. H. 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.

"My dear congressman:?Acknowl- (
edging receipt of your letter of Jan- ,
lary 21, and returning herewith let;er

with other perishable foodstuffs, and

ill assistance possible in seeing that

that should prevent the uslal

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

to complete

As a free people we have elected
to discharge this duty, not

without other restraint than
the guidance of individual
