in this county amounted to $81.45,
divided as follows: Bamberg, $32;
Denmark, $37.25; Ehrhardt, 20c:
Bamberg route 2, $1.
There will be an illustrated mission
lecture at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran
church, Ehrhardt, on Friday eve.
ning, March 22, at 7:30 o'clock, by
Rev. J. W. Oxner, of Columbia. The
public is cordially ipvited.
Last Friday was the last day on
which State and county taxes could
be paid. All unpaid taxes are now
put into execution. It is understood
that, as usual, there are quite a number
who failed to attend to this matter.
Fine showers have fallen in the
vicinity of Bamberg during the past
*\ few days. Reports rqpeived from vav
rious sections of the county indicate
thiat the rain was badly needed, especfoll^
for the grain crops. Gardens
also needed tfie showers.
The nfcgro race conference held
in Bambe^ Friday was attended by
a large iMimber of colored people
Trom BamS^g and surrounding counties.
Addrteses were made" by
Richard Carroll, of Columbia, and
other promind^ negro leaders.
Mr. G. FrankBamberg has awarded
a contract to Mr. W. J. Nichols for the
erection of a ffeed room, to replace
the building burned a few w s ago.
The new building is to be ted of
brick, and will measure f twenty
by seventy feet, one stc. - in height.
Mr. C. H. Mitchell, who has been in
the ticket office of the Southern railway
here, has been transferred, to the
freight office, and Mr. D. M. Coe, who
has heretofore been in the freight
office, is now atending to the ticket
office. The telegraph office and the
express office are now located in the
freight depot.
Mr. J. Carl Kearse received the
appointment in the legal department
of the government instead of Mr. J.
Clyde Kearse, as stated in last week's
issue. Mr. Kearse spent a few days
in the city with his sister, Mrs. W.
P. Jones, before leaving on Tuesday
for Washington where he will be
for some time at least. v
The friends of Mr. Wilson R.
Johns, son of Mr. W. I. Johns, of
\ Baldock, who is well known here,
I will be interested to learn that he
* has again been awarded the oratorical
medal at Wofford college. Mr.
Johns is a very bright young man,
who is showing up well at college,
and his future career will be watched
with much interest by his local acquaintances.
Several gentlemen left Bamberg
Saturdav morning for Detroit to drivel
back some automobiles for a local
dealer. On reaching Orangeburg,
however, they received a wire that
. it would be unnecessary to proceed
further, as the manufacturer was unable
to deliver the cars. Consequently
the party had to return home that
afternoon, much to their disappointment,
as they anticipated a great
trip. They expect to start again in
the next few days.*

Fire at Oil Mill Plant.
\ ?
Last Friday night fire at the plant
of the Cotton Oil company did several
hundred dollars damage. The
fire caught about one o'clock in one
of the gins, but no great damage was
done. The oil mill has an excellent
. fire extinguishing system, which
handled the fire in a most satisfactory
manner. The alarm was sounded,
however, and the fire department
responded, but was not needed.
Several valuable belts were practically
destroyed by the heat and
water, but very little other damage
was done.

Want Express Office Moved.
A petition is being circulated
among the patrons of the Southern
Express company here asking the
railroad commission to carry out the
order issued by the commission several
months ago to have the office removed
from the depot to some point
in the business section 6f the city.
This matter was agitated a good
while ago, and put up to the railroad
commission, which after considering
the matter, ordered the removal
of the office. The petition
states thsit the express office has now
been removed to the freight depot
and that the sfeople of the city are
not getting the service they are entitled
to.
Want More Shipbuilders.
Mr. J. C. Guilds, county chairman
of the council of defense, has receivfKot
Aft ahinhnilHprs flrfi

expected from Bamberg county. Up
to Monday Mr.''Guilds had recenved
and forwarded to the proper authorities
seven applications for this department
from Bamberg county.
Thirty-nine more are wanted from
this county to make up our quota
of men. It is very urgent that the
government shall receive applicattions
from men to work in the shipbuilding
yards, as the winning of the
war depends in a large measure'on
the building and sending to sea of
a large fleet of merchant vessels and
transports. The government is pushing
its programme rapidly, but the
lack of men is said to be retarding
the progress of the work. It is not
at all necessary that men should have
experience in actual ship construction
in order to secure a position of
this kind. There are a large num^

learned from the county chairman,
and the men enlisting in this work
not only do a patriotic service to the
government, but at the same time receive
good pay for their work.

HOW TO GET NITRATE.
Farmers Should Communicate With
O. W. Rentz at Once.
Mr. C. W. Rentz, distributer of
nitrate of soda in Bamberg county,
has received notice of the shipment
of 125 tons of nitrate for immediate
use by the farmers for grain crops.
The following telegra^i to Mr. Rentz
explains the nitrate situation:
"You are designated county distributer
nitrate your county. Letter
follows. Small quantity nitrate
Charleston now available for distri
bution your county. Will ship to you
carload lots at points you desire.
Wish you to distribute with reference
to immediate needs only. List
of allotments farmers your county
being mailed. Consult county agricultural
agent or chairman local committee
and get duplicate applications.
Some nitrate will be even weights in
bags of two hundred pounds each.
Owing to labor conditions at port,
however, think shipments of nitrate
can be made more quickly in cases
where nitrate can be delivered to
farmers in original bags^ as delivered
at port. Wire smallest quantity in
your judgment needed for immediate
use your county and desired in
even weight bags and portion desired
in original bags."
Mr. Rentz states that he has not
received the allotments for this county,
and he requests that all farmers
who wish nitrate immediately to
communicate with him, stating their
acreage in grain, on which they wish
to use nitrate. In this way he hopes
to be able to distribute the nitrate
immediately on arrival, which should
be within the next day or two.
Mr. Rentz, after consulting with
the local committee, requested the
shipment of 125 tons for this county,
distributed as follows: Bamberg, 50
j tons; Ehrhardt, 30 tons; Olar, 30
i tons; Lees, 15 tons. The nitrate for
Lees, however, will be shipped to
Bamberg, probably because of the
fact that it would be a broken car.
If the list of allotments for the
county is received in time, the nitrate ;
can be distributed according to the
scheduled allotments.
Modern Country Residence.
v
1
Mr. J. Williams Carter, of the Ehrhardt
section, is erecting on his plantation
a few miles from Ehrhardt a
modern country residence, at a cost
of about $10,000 or $12,000. Work
was started on the residence some
time ago, and will be completed within
the next few weeks. Contractor
Eaves is erecting the residence.
The home will be modern throughout,
and will be-equipped with electric
lights, waterworks and sewerage,
bath, etc. Mr. Carter owns one of
the finest plantations in the county
and is one of the county's most substantial
citizens. He and family will
soon occupy their new home.
Another Malicious Report.
Food Administrator A. M. Brabham
calls the attention of The Herald to
a report that has reached him. It
was told that a farmer down about
Olar brought in to Bamberg recently
a quantity of wheat to have ground
into flour, and that after it was
ground the food administration confiscated
all but about a half barrel, i
Mr. Brabham is endeavoring to trace
the report to its origin, and wishes
to say that there is not a particle of
truth in any such statement, and that
he has no knowledge whatever of any
farmer even bringing wheat here to
be ground. If anyone does possess ,
wheat, he is certainly at liberty to \
have it made into flour without hindrance
on the part of anyone whomsoever.
The government/is doing everything
it can to induce the people
to plant wheat, and there is no limit
to the flour any planter can possess
by having his own wheat ground.
Why such a report should gain currency,
when there is absolutely no
foundation for it, is one of those unexplainable
mysteries, unless it was
done with the purpose of deterring
farmers from planting wheat.
Another Bamberg Boy Goes.
V
Friday morning Mr. Henry L.
Kearse left for Charleston, being
summoned to duty in the naval reserve
forces of the nation. Mr. Kearse
enlisted in the naval reserves last
December, in company with several
other young men, all of whom had :
been called except Mr. Kearse.
Mr. Kearse is one of the most substantial
young men of the city. For
several years past he has been a
salesman for Rentz & Felder. He is
popular with everybody in town and
throughout the county, and the best
wishes of his many acquaintances go
! "with him. Mr. Kearse came from the
fine old Kearse section of the county,
wrhich has supplied already many
young men for patriotic service in
[ Uncle Sam's war for world democ|
racy, and we have no doubt that
Henry will make good as all of the
Bamberg boys are doing.

SUSTAINS BIG FIRE LOSS.
Gennery, Machinery and Large Quantity
of Feeds Burned.
Saturday morning there was a serious
fire on the plantation of W. S.
Bamberg & Son, near Bamberg, in
which machinery, farming materials
and feedstuffs to the value of about
$5,000 were lost. Xo insurance was
carried, which makes the loss an especially
heavy one.
The fire started, presumably, from
a spark, and spread rapidly, soon
completely enveloping the ginnery,
which was completely lost with its
contents. Unfortunately, there were
no men at Capt. Bamberg's at the
time with the exception of the captain
himself, and very little could be
done to stop the fire. Col. Greyton
Bamberg was in Bamberg at the time.
In addition to the gin, the loss included
a hay press, gin feeder and
condenser, two engines and two
threshing machines. There were also
two boilers in the fire, but it is not
thought tlrey are seriously injured.
The grist mill, in a nearby house,
was also burned. Twelve or 14 tons
of hay were stored in one of the burned
structures, and some six or seven
thousand pounds of beans. Approximately
forty tons of fertilizer that
was also stored in the houses was
largely a loss, although a great deal
of it was saved, after the arrival of
Col. Bamberg, who secured a hose
and played water on the fertilizer.
It is all perhaps damaged, but several
tons of it can be used.
The ginnery.was built many years
ago, but was a substantial building.
The kind of lumber used at that time
can scarcely be had now at all, and
Capt. Bamberg considered the build
ing a valuable one from this stand-j
point.
The loss of the fertilizer, which
was intended for this year's crop, is
especially an unfortunate one, inasmuch
as fertilizer is now very hard
to procure, on account of transportation
difficulties. The saw mill,
which is also nearby, escaped the fire.
Capt. W. S. Bamberg and his son,
Col. G. Bamberg, under the firm
name of W. S. Bamberg & Son, operate
one of the largest and finest
farms around Bamberg, the farm being
equipped with ginnery, hay presses,
grist mill, and other farming enterprises.
^ < ! ^
Call for Five Men.
The county of Bamberg, is apportioned
five registrants in the call for
95,000 men, the movement of which
is to begin March 29 and continue
five- days. The apportionment was
announced last week by Capt. R. E.
Carwile, in charge of the State headquarters
in Columbia. The total
number of registrants for the State
to be called to the colors will be 343,
which will be selected according to
their liability. It is stated that persons
continually and actively engaged
in agricultural pursuits will be deferred
on this call. Barnwell county
is apportioned nine, Colleton six,
Hampton five, and Orangeburg 13.
Bigamy is Charged.
W. J. Robinson was arrested a few
days ago and lodged in the county
jail on a charge of bigamy. Robinson,
it is alleged in the warrant,
which was sworn out by Mr. J. B.
Ramsey, is married to a woman at
Macon, Ga., the marriage there having
taken place in March of last
year. A few weeks ago he was married
in Bamberg by Judge of Probate
J. J. Brabham, Jr., to Miss Genie
Ramsey, of Ehrhardt, daughter of Mr.
J. B. Ramsey. Robinson, it is said,
was working at a manufacturing
plant in Ehrhardt at the time of his
marriage to Miss Ramsey, who, the
warrant alleges, is under eighteen
years of age. No preliminary examination
had been held up to Tuesday
morning, and Robinson was still
in jail. It is understood that Robinson
claims he was not legally married
to the Georgia woman.
Merchants Selling Stamps.
Within the past few days a number
of agencies have been established
in Bamberg for the sale of thrift
stamps. These stamps may now be
found on sale at a number of stores
in the city, and neat signs have been
posted telling the customers to "Get
Your Change in Thrift Stamps." The
sale of stamps at Bamberg has not
made satisfactory progress at all, and
it is to be hoped that with the estab
lishment of the several agencies here
the sales will show marked improvement.
Denmark is doing fine in this matter,
and bids fair to "walk away-'
with Bamberg unless improvement
is shown here. The people at Denmark
have taken to the buying of
stamps in a most patriotic and enthusiastic
manner. Several other
points in the county need waking up
in this matter, also.

NOT MANY PERMITS NOW.
Doctor's Prescription is Now Required
to G^t One.
Since the new liQUor law went into
effect, there has been a decided
drop-off in the number of permits
issued by the probate judge of Bamberg
county. Last week Mr. J. J.
Brabham, Jr., the probate judge, issued
only two permits. On the last
day the old law was effective, Saturday,
March 9, Mr. Brabham issued
235 permits, which was the record
since the quart-a-nionth law became
effective last year.
A few days ago Mr. Brabham went
up to Columbia and attended a conference
of the probate judges of the'
State with Governor Manning. At
this conference the matter of issu
mg permits was discussed tnorougnlv,
with the result that practically all
of the officers decided the best thing
to do was to require a physician's
prescription from all. parties desiring
to secure permits. Jn accordance
with this decision, Mr. Brabham is
now requiring the presentation of
a doctor's certificate stating that the
party needs whiskey for medicinal
purposes either for himself or for
some - member of his family.
This law, as carried out, puts the
county on practically a prohibition
basis, as a person must actually be
sick or some member of his family
sick, in order to secure a prescription
from his or her physician. This
would appear to be as near prohibition
as will ever be possible unless
an air-tight bill is passed by some
future legislature, or the federal
amendment is finally ratified. By
presenting a prescription from a physician,
any person otherwise eligible
under the law, may secure a permit
to receive not exceeding one
quart of whiskey in any calendar
month.
Meeting of County Chairmen.
The central committee of the county
council of defense and the community
chairmen held a meeting at
tViQ Virrnc/-. Tact TVinrcdav flftpr
noon. Representatives were present
from Bamberg, Denmark, Govan,
Hunter's Chapel, Colston, and the colored
branch of the defense council.
It was decided to circulate petitions
asking the farmers to follow
the food production programme as
far as practicable this year, which
means an increase in all food crops.
These petitions were put into the
hands of the community chairmen,
who with the assistance of other
members of the council, are to see
every farmer in the county and ask
for his cooperation.
It was agreed that whenever possible
speakers are to be provided for
every school closfhg entertainment
in the county. Trustees and teachers
are requested to communicate with
the community chairman or headquarters
at Bamberg if they desire to
have a speaker on the programme to
present the issues of the war.
It was decided to hold a meetingof
the whole council every first Monday
at the court-house at 3:30
o'clock.
A big county rally to be held some
time during the summer is being plan
ned, at which speakers will be invited
to address the people. Further announcements
concerning this' meeting
will be made later. t
The food production programme in
brief is as follows:
"Corn?Increase 20 per cent. Keep
town markets supplied. Don't carry
over last year's surplus.
"Gardens?Stress Irish pdtatoes,
beans, onions, and salad crops. Can
surplus perishable vegetables.
"Sweet potatoes?Plant one-half
acre per plow. Build storage house
on every farm by government plan.
Secure seed at once.
"Hogs?Raise one additional hog
per plow. Keep gooa breeding stock.
Pasture and soiling crops make clean
pork. Inoculate for cholera.
"Wheat?Plant two acres per
plow next fall.
"Oats afcd rye?^-Plant three acres
of oats, one acre of rye per plow
this fall.
"Forage crops?Raise sorghum,
velvet beans and cow peas in abundance.
~
"Dairy jwoduce?A silo for each
herd of eignt t>r more. Stock beets
and rutabagers for smaller herds.
Rye for winter grazing. Use best pos
sible breeding stock and feed intelligently.
"Poultry?Increase the flock this
spring. Preserve surplus eggs in water
glass."
New Automobile Agency.
The store room formerly occupied
by Mr. R. S. Simmons's grocery store
has been rented by Blatt & Still, of
Blackville, who will use the store as '
a show room for Overland automobiles.
The local Overland dealers,
Messrs. J. J. Smoak and H. N. Folk,
gave up the agency on the first of ,
the year, and this territory has now
ben taken by the Blackville gentlemen.
The front of the store has been
torn away to permu ui a unvewaj
for cars, and it is understood that a
nice establishment is to be fitted up.
/
Colored Field Day.
The colored schools' field day was
evidently a decided success from more
than one viewpoint. The literary
contests were inspiring and enthusiastic.
The music furnished by the
State college band from Orangeburg
did much to satisfy the large crowd
in attendance, as parents and chil- \
dren from every part of the county
were here. They came on foot, by
wagons, railroads and automobiles.
The line of march through the
principal streets was a novel sight,
r\ /lifpArnnf An! C hv
a>> liic + ~ j
large banners with significant expressions
told in unmistakeable language
that VIgnordnce is our greatest
enemy, 'Education our only rem- ^|
edy," etc. Each school was distinguished
by special uniform.
Not an accident nor a single unpleasantness
was recorded, which n
must be given as creditable when the
large number present is considered.
The athletic contests were sharp
and lively. The potato race came
in for the most enthusiasm. The
running, too, was especially noticeable,
as the contestants vied with each
other for distinctive honors, some
winning prizes with their legs when
they had failed with their tongues
and ibrains.
The games on the diamond were
good. The championship was given *-y
to the colored school here. Thirtyodd
prizes were awarded and many
a heart made glad.
The committed desires through this
channel to thank the merchants and
business men generally whose charitable
donations made the awards
possible. Thus passed into history
the first colored schools' field day
in Bamberg county.?Contributed.

\j Working Orangeburg Road.
It will be good news to the traveling
public to know that the Orangeburg
county authorities are now at J
work on repairing and improving
that portion of the Orangeburg road
which lies across the Edisto river.
For a long time this road has needed *v
work. It is suggested while the
road is being worked that it would
be a good idea to straighten out and
widen he causeway on the other side
of the river, to permit vehicles to
pass each other; and also to repair
the bridge, which is in rather bad
condition.
There will be a box party, oyster
supper, etc, at the Oak Grove school
house on Friday night, March 29th,
for the benefit of the school. The
public is cordially invited.?adv. / ^
