l^ePam&erggeralti ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, March 14, 1918. The beginning of the end of the bolshevik regime in Russia is in sight. Trotzky last week quit his post as the leading man in the revolutionary cabinet. Russia is to be congratulated upon being rid of this fellow. When a few more of them resign or are kicked out, there j may be some chance for Russia. i ifc fc Every school child in Bamberg should be buying war stamps. The , teachers in some of the schools have been taking this matter up with the children, with the result that manv of them are now saving their pennies and nickels to buy stamps with. They not only save their own money by doing this, but they help win the war. \ ^ ei It seems practically certain that the farmers will not be able to get nitrate of soda sufficient for the grain ^ crops as they were expecting. Ships have not been available to transport the nitrate from South America in time for general use on the grain crops, but the farmers are assured that the supply originally stated will be delivered later on. We suggest that every merchant shuld donate a small part of his advertising space to urging the people to buy war stamps. This is the popular method of helping to win thewar?a system whereby every person in the town and county can give some assistance. If every merchant and other advertiser will continually call on his trade to buy war stamps, it will go a long way toward increas rog tne saies. The farmers are reminded that the government is depending on them to feed not only ourselves this year, but in a large measure to feed the allies. As people cannot eat cotton, every farmer is urged to plant\as much foodstuff as he possibly can cultivf te, harvest, house and market this fall; and then, of course, cotton and other crops are also needed; plant all of them you can. Everybody must have a share in the responsibility of the war, and the burden of the farmer is to feed the people of this country and the allied countries. m <?i ? In one of the Aiken papers a week or two ago we noticed a story of the breaking into the home of one of the Aiken winter visitors and the stealing of some twenty-odd quarts of wines and liquors. The story went on to say that the officers were making every possible effort to - - * -J ik.Vl catch the Durgiar ana rum imei. Nothing, however, was said of the fact that the tourist was a violater of the law himself by having in his possession some five gallons of liquors. Why not apprehend both violaters while they are at it? But then, of course, one of them is a millionaire, which makes some difference. m ? ? * The new liquor law went into effect Monday morning. The legis^ - lature put the burden on the probate judges to ascertain if the affidavit to secure a liquor permit is true. That is a pretty big thing to put on the probate judge, and it seems that the legislature might have been more specific and named the qualifications for the securing of permits. A great many of the probate judges of the State have adopted the rule of requiring a physician's certificate before pranting the permit. It is entirely in the discretion of the officer to ascertain in any manner he sees fit whether the claims of those wishing the permits are true or not. Under the amendment to the law, the probate judge cannot charge a ' fee for taking the affidavit, as he was allowed to do before. ^ i?I ^ "Over the Top," by Arthur Guy Empey, starts in this issue of The Herald. The story will be printed in | liberal installments until completed. It is the biggest war story that has yet been written, and you should not J miss reading it. If you are not al^ ready a subscriber to The Herald, send in a dollar and a half today for a year's subscription, so that you will get the full story. In another part of the paper today is printed a speech of Dr. Henry Van Dyke, made in Charleston a few days ago. Read it, too.

The South Carolina divison of savers is going "Over the top" with rest of the country. The United States Treasury has already recel I ?irtv-five million dollars from the sale of these little thrift star Sales are now running about two million dollars per day. This is equal to the entire cost of running the Government ten ye It is double the receipts of the Postoffice Department or of the < toms Service before the war. It is more than double the highest rate of growth ever reached the savings banks In this country. The money now coming in from War Savings Stamps every day w< pay for 10,000 tons of shipping. At this rate it would provide in a : tor three million tons or more than half the program of the Ship] Board. This money is not given to the Government; it is merely a loan f the people which will be repaid with interest. Every time you buy a War Savings Stamp you lay up money for y self, you provide the Government with money to win the war, and beg all you release materials and services which alone can make possible supply of necessities to the boys at the front.
