QZi)t pamberg ^eralb KSTABL1SHKI) AI'KIL. 18!)1. Thursday, March 21, 1918. Dr. W. S. Stokes, late editor of the Denmark News-Monitor, which recently suspended publication, has beer, appointed registrar of the bureau for the employemnt of teachers, an office created by the recent session of the legislature. It is to be hoped that Dr. Stokes will make more of a success of his new office than he has done with his several ( " newspaper enterprises. < o > A carnival show is holding forth this week on the outskirts of the town, outside of the city limits. It was not allowed to come to Bamberg, but it came as near as the limits would permit. If the legislature would pass one law outlawing carnivals and then adjourn, it would be doing the State a real service? more service, we believe, than many of the sessions we have remembrance of. A statement from the office of the collector of internal revenue of this State puts Bamberg as one of the counties in the State leading in the payment of income taxes. The Herald has received what apears to be authentic information that Bamberg actually leads in the payment of this tax; that is, more taxes have been paid in this county, on the basis of population, than in any other. As South Carolina leans an omer &iaies in many respects, especially in agriculture, one of our citizens argues --/ that this must be the best county in the United States. This certainly is true in a good many ways at least. We have heard of the payments of some large amounts by. citizens of the county; and it appears that the people have fallen into line in a most admirable manner. We understand that one citizen of the county ifaid more than $6,GOO income tax, and several others more than $1,000. ^ < i m It has been suggested that the city council might take up the matter of j moving the cemetery on Railroad ave-' nue. The presence of a cemetery in! the midst of one of the leading res-1 idential sections of town is certain-! ly not very alluring, to say the least ofMt, and as there are very few graves there, it would not seem to be a difficult matter for the city to arrange for the removal of the cemetery entirely. The town could pur' chase lots in one of the other cemeteries for this purpose, and let the; Railroad avenue cemetery property j revert to the town. The site could! well be used either for building lots | or for a city park, which is sorely! needed. The civic league ladies have 'done much and are still doing much to keep up the appearance of this property, but their efforts are seriously handicapped. It would be a fine thing for the town to have a public park there, or, if it is not practicable to have a park, the property could be put to good use as building lots, which are scrace in Bamberg. The Herald wishes to again call the attention of persons . who own building lots in Bamberg to the necessity for ihore houses. The town is handicapped in a most serious manner by the lack of houses for renting purposes. We have known in the past few months of quite a ' number of families who have been unable to secure residences here. ?# . This certainly prevents the growth of Bamberg.. It is quite impossible for the town to invite families to make this their home without providing houses for them to live in. The town has experienced a remarkable growth in all respects during the past few years, and there is no < _ i .1 ? i,:i:i? ?e n?.n QOUDt wnaiever 01 me aumij ui ufilers of houses to rent them. This is a matter that calls for serious thought, and the chamber of commerce could do nothing that would be of more benefit to the city than to agitate the erection of modest cottages so that new residents may be ^ invited to the town. That there is plenty of money in Bamberg for this purpose cannot 'for a moment be doubted, and investors would surely show their faith in the city by build- 1 ing houses. It ?oes not speak well < for the town when people have to move away or not come at all because they cannot rent a house. A farmer the other day suggested to the Herald that pne obstacle to the farmers raising more food crops lay in the fact that there was a very unsatisfactory market in Bamberg for surplus food products. This is a matter that ought to be given serious consideration by the local merchants. It is a fact that Bamberg probably does more in the way of living at home than most counties in the State. In some sections of the county it is particularly true that the people have always lived at home. If the county is to be expected to raise more food than usual, it is also a fact that there must be a market provided for the surplus. Some system should be devised whereby the local merchants should give pref-l erence to the handling of local prod-i wis, which are as a rule superior to! 1 i the imported article. However.! there is another side of the question j to he considered by the planters; j that is the unreliability of the local j supply. The merchants have to pur-i chase in advance, and they never know whether a supply can be had at home or not. Would it not be a good idea for the farmers to arrange in advance with a certain merchant to supply him with so much meat on Heroic Women of France. f r>v A Inn7(i T'iivlnr\ My words are not powerful enough to do even scanty justice to the most heroic figure in the modern world, and of ages past?the woman of France.

In that case, it would be up to the farmer to keep his contract and furnish the goods. We believe that any merchant, in town would prefer to handle good Bamberg cured sides and hams than to buy Western meat, but he would have to know positively that he would be able to get it at a certain time. ^ < ) Be sure and see the Tom Thumb wedding at Carlisle auditorium Friday night for the benefit of the Red Cross.

Uncomplaining, with high devotion, with an attitude that amounts almost to religious exaltation, tne woman of France bears the burden. Xow, conditions being as they are, does it lie within the heart of the American people to preserve and hold to every convenience of our life at! the expense of adding an additional A>\'$ - '/a.vv.,;:.m burden to the womanhood of France? This is the exact question that is involved in our substitution of other cereals in place of wheat. The women of France must be enabled to bold lid the morale of the French soldier until next spring. The morale of the house decides the morale of the soldier in the fighting line. We can do this by giving to them the greatest possible freedom in their food supply, and of this, wheat is the chief factor.
