ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday,. March 7, 19^8.
? The announcement is made that
the next liberty loan campaign will
be launched during the first part of
April. Bamberg county did not nearly
do her part in the first loan. In
the second campaign she did much
better, but still did not take her apportionment.
Let it be said of the
third liberty loan that the county did
her full part. The government is
giving the people the oportunity to
lend their money for the prosecution
- * ??? I>a/ii-rn intM'Oct f.'.T* it
U? tile >v ai a.liu. ocvun; mw wv ~ -
If the people do not continue to respond
in a liberal manner, the government
will take the money?that!
. is everything will be taxed so high
, that it will be equivalent to taking
it. For the government must have
money, plenty of it, and it intends
td get the money. There is not
the slightest intention on the part of
the government to stop the prosecution
of this war on account of money.
The country is worth, hundreds of
billions, and it takes about a billion
a month at the present rate of expenditure.
Every one should feel it
not on'y a duty to lend the government
money, but should esteem it a
high privilege to do so.
The sooner this country* gets on a
true war basis, in our judgment, the
quicker will the war be won. That
it is now far from being won is the
general concensus of opinion among
those who ought to know. The.people
should be willing to do anything
and everything that the success of
? J onnool Viae

x frequently gone forth for the people
to conserve on the use of wheat products.
It is explained that it is not
practicable to supply our soldiers
and /the soldiers of our allies with
corn products, and for this reason
the government needs all they heat
possible. The present programme of
compelling the use of an equal
amount of corn with wheat will
doubtless increase the supply of
flour for shipment abroaij. And, yet,
1 if it is necessary, why not stop the
use of flour entirely among civilians?
If the eating of cornbread will help
win thd war, we say stop the use of
flour entirely by the people at home.
Surely, this would be a small sacri
flee. Let's get down to brass tacks,
and do those things which are necesary,
instead of hoping against hope
to win the war without ^sacrifice in
the next few months, which is an
error common to the present day that
is doing much to retard the prosecution
of the great struggle. It is no
ordinary enemy that we are fighting,
and ordinary methods will not suffice,
'that dire necessity is going to compel
unheard of sacrifices on the part
of the people before the end of the
war is no longer doubted by well
informed people, and the sooner these
sacrifices are made the less lives it
is going to take to wind up the
war.

We hope every one of our readers
started last week reading the "German
War Practices." If our people
will read this booklet, which
will be printed in full in The Heraldd,
they will be astounded at the
revelations it contains. For instance
there are not many people who really
believe Germany ever had any designs
on America. If you will keep up
with this official narration vou will
v find that Germany not only has
> designs now upon this country, but
years ago planned at least it's Germanization,
if not utter subjugation.
There is no longer any doubt what.
ever about it. Official documents
now in possession of our government
prove that Germany's design was the
overrun of France; the defeat of
Great. Britain and the other European
allies, and then the invasion of
America. Little Belgium saved the
situation by putting a stumbling
block in the path of the German army.
Supose there had been no opposition
to German armies passing
through Belgium. Paris would have
been taken within sixty days; the defeat
of Great Britain would not have
been difficult, and then it would have
been America's turn. What-could
~ America have done to withstand such
an enemy? With its thousands of
miles of unDrotected coast, and the
whole of the German navy untouched,
would it have been difficult to land
German armies in the United States?
At that time we had but a handful
of trained soldiers, and there had
been mo war preparations at all. In
the story of the German war practices,
in a later installment, wijl be
found an authentic statement by a
. German officer made just after the
Spanish-American war, that Germany
would start her great war in fifteen
\ years from that time (1900) and
that Paris would be taken within a
few weeks, and that when Germany
completed her European campaign,
she would take America and make
her pay for Germany's war; also that
America would be put in her proper
position with respect to Germany.
Read the story for yourself.

Parcel Post Service Enlarged.
Recent orders received at the postoffice
go a long way toward broadening
the scope of the parcel post service.
Heretofore parcel post packages
have been limited to 50 pounds
in the first, second and third zones.
Under the new regulations the
weight limit is increasea to < u
pounds. The former measurement
limit was 72 inches in length and
girth combined; it has been increased
to S4 inches. The weight limit in
other zones than the first three has
been increased to 50 pounds.
This new regulation will make it
possible to send much larger and
heavier packages through the mails
than Jieretofore, and will make the
parcel post system more popular and
useful than ever. It has been found
impracticable, however, to increase
the weight limit of packages sent tc
soldiers and sailors in the expeditionary
forces in Europe. This limit remains
at seven pounds as heretofore.

BOYS?
We have two military colleges ir
the United States, West Point tc
train young men for army life, and
Annapolis to train for the navy.

by nearly all of our congress ?

George D. Tillman, W. J. Talbert,
George W. Croft, Theo. G. Croft and
J. 0. Patterson, to fill vacancies from
time to time forHhe scholarships allowed
by our government to each congressional
district by competitive examinations.
These competitive examinations
are beneficial to the
brainy and aspiring young men of the
district. Further, to get our best talent
to compare with other young
men from the various sections of the
United States and bring our brightest
boys to the front these examinations
accomplished this purpose. And
many of the heroes of our past wars,
Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson,
U. S. Grant, Dewey, and others were
graduates of these institutions, and
very probably would never have been
heard of were it not for these colleges.
Lieut. George Etheredge, the heroic
son of Saluda county, got his
appointment by a competitive examination
and would probably nevei
been heard of in this war, had it not
beep that he was given a chance.
Our present congressman was tc
change the order and pass these ap
pointments quietly in Saluda countj
to a son of a large and influential
family and in another to a son of a
very wealthy and influential man ir
Aiken county. Not that there can b<
one word said against either. Thej
are probably deserving young men
This method is not Jeffersonian democracy?"Equal
rights to all anc
special privileges to none."
Is this another piece of politics tc
gain votes? If not, why is the dooi
of hope closed against many of oui
deserving young men? Why shoulc
not all have been given a chance ai
these appointments, which are wortl
$4,000 each?
Can our people endorse this pro
cedure?
Senators Tillman and Smith are
filling these appointments by competitive
examinations.

matter that can well be added to Mr
