tEfje Pamberg Heralb ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1891. Thursday, March 28, 1918. The city of Aiken, which is only slightly larger than Bamberg, has a business street 150 feet wide nicely paved with vitrified brick, which gives one passing through the town an excellent impression of the place. It looks business-like. At one end of the street, stretched across it, fiies a large service flag, containing a star for every Aiken county man doing service in the army or navy. A paved main street and a service flag would add much to Bamberg's busi ness district. SL An alien enemy arraigned in NewYork recently is reported to have said: "Certainly I am one of the kaiser's men. I am proud of it. The German spy system already has this country beaten." If that man is allowed to simply be sent to one of the detention camps, it will be a travesty on justice. An American^ in Germany making such a statement of Germany would in all probability first be shot and then tried and convicted. We can see no reason why good food should be wasted^ in feeding such parasites, and our large cities are afflicted with thousands of them. g? - s". South Carolina is not asked or expected by the federal govrnment to raise foodstuffs for export. We are only asked to feed ourselves. The burden placed on the farmers in this State is simply that they ? raise enough to feed South Carolina, and * this is ^eiltainly not an unreasonable | request. The rest of the country has !he burden of both feeding themselves and the allies. It is entirely t , possible and probable that transportation difficulties within the next year will preclude the possibility of foods "r, and feeds being imported into this State from the West. South Carolina \ annually uses 53,000,000 bushels of corn, whereas the State' only produced last year 43.000,000 bushels. It is therefore imperative that more corn must be grown. It is probable that ^^gamberg county, however, grows suf^JjyHRfent corn for home purposes, but V ALOOTEI | A prominent New Yort ? dividual as #n Executor.

Interest P* CAPITAL AND SURPLU Bamberg E >. ' ' ) [this respect. The idea is to raise enough and some to spare of all food crops, and then plant every acre of cotton possible. By doing this, our farmers will easily become the most prosperous people in the world. Dr. W. W. Long is authority for the statement that South Carolina leads the United States, and therefore the world, in the value of agricultural products per acre. This is an interesting bit of information, and something that is not generally known. Dr. Long also states that South Carolina stands second in the Southern States in the value of agricultural products per farm, Louisiana being ahead of us by a small margin. He calls attention to the fact, however, that by a farm is meant each tract of land farmed by one individual: that is. if a farmer operates | a twenty-horse farm, tentanted by twenty share-croppers, the census department consider^ that twenty farms instead of one. Inasmuch as the share-cropping system is largely used in this State, it is likely that this States leads in this respect also. In the matter of wealth per square mile. South Carolina stands sixth in the United States. As Bamberg is said to stand first in the amount *of income taxes paid this year, I it is reasonable to suppose that we must lead South Carolina; and, therefore, the United States. And the United States leads the world, as is generally known. Mr. Hoover Please Notice. The boarders were dropping hints as to the kind of dinner thpy'd like to have on Christmas day. But the landlady was astute. "What's the difference," she asked the solemn man at the end of the table, "between a turkey dinner and a mess of stewed prunes?" "I don't know," he answerd, suspicious of some entangling conumdrum. "Does nobody know?" she asked, looking round the table They all professed ignorance. "In that case," she said, "I may as j well serve prunes at Christmas and ! save money."?Ladies' Home Jour! nal. > estate I [ politician named an in- 1 The Executor- proved I completely looted the as- | lot safeguard your Estate I r company as your Exec- I th us costs you nothing.

A farmer calling at a dentist's, promptly and cheerfully stated his business as soon as he entered the operating room. * "A tooth to be pulled," he said, "and I'll pay nothing extra for gas. Just haul it out if it does hurt." The dentist smiled. "You're plucky, sir," he said. "Let irre see the tooth, please." "Oh, tisn't me that's got the toothache at all," said the farmer, "it's my wife. She'll be here in a minute."? Judge.
