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.

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.

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.

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 THE SPRING DRIVE IS 01
_____
South Carolina's Great Thrift Army Will Go Over the 1
America's great thrift army has begun its Spring Drive.
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.
Tl"' Wot- 5?vfncr* Camrmim haa lust began. It Is already dolnj
much, think what it will do when we really get behind it the way we
when we appreciate its importance.
