Three contributions have been received by The Herald toward the fund for erecting a headstone over Uncle John Geiger's grave. There are many, many people in Bamberg to whom old Uncle John was a good servant, and a faithful enployee. If any of them want to make a contribution come on, as The Herald desires to wind the matter up. The following are the contributions received up to date: * M. W. Brabham $5.00 H. J. Riley 2.00 Mrs. E. H. Henderson 2.00 $9.00 Field Day Called Off. The county field day committee announces that it has been advisable to call off the field day exercises this year. After considering the matter thoroughly, the pommittee is convinced that the present times and national emergencies are not suitable for festivities of this character, and, therefore, no field day exercises will be held this year, and all of the schools are notified to this effect. Preservation of Eggs. During the spring and early summer when eggs are abundant, attention should be given to preserving them for winter use. Eggs tnay be preserved at a cost of from 2c to oc per dozen and when we compare the prices prevailing now with those of last fall and winter, we can see that this is a real economy. Strictly fresh eggs only can be used, and under no circumstances should badly soiled ones be put up, nor should these be washed, as washing removes the natural protective coating which prevents spoiling. The best method for the preservation of eggs is by the use of sodium silicate popularly called water-glass. Make a solution of one part sodium silicate to nine parts water that has been boiled and allowed to cool. Any pertectiy clean stope crocK or large glass vessel may be used, as it is not necessary to seal them air tight. Fifteen dozen eggs may be put in a five gallon crock or jar. Place the container in a cool, dry place and do not move it about on account of the danger of cracking the eggs. As they are gathered fresh each day, place in the solution, being careful to allow at least two inches of the solution to cover eggs at all times. When container is full, cover to prevent evaporation and the -eggs will keep from eight-to twelve months in perfect condition. During the hot months, when the hatching season is over, infertile eggs may be produced, as these are the best to preserve. We are anx ious.to increase the supply of poul| try in the State and county, and any questions as to the best breeds, eggs for hatching and the care of chickens will be gladly answered and information given.?Mrs. B. W. Faust. ia> w There is no Federal legislation regulating the playing of the national anthem, but some States have statutes forbidding playing it as a part of a medley. \ i I Successor lo Mr. Heard. ; Dr. W. W. Long, head of the farm demonstration work in South Carolina, stated Saturday that he hopes i to have a man in Bamberg within the near future to take up the farm demonstration work, succeeding Mr. J. J. Heard, who resigned his work here to take up farming. Mr. Long stated that it is very difficult to secure the services of competent men for this work, and that there are vacancies in a number of counties to be filled, but that he has about closed an agreement with a demonstrator for Bamberg. Death of Mr. Daniels. Mr. Elbert Daniels, who will be remembered in Bamberg, died in a sanitarium in Asheville, N. C., last Sunday. Mr. Daniels's home was near Mullins, and his remains were carried there for interment. He was a brother of Mrs. C. R. Brabham, Sr., who attended the funeral and interment Tuesday. Mr. Daniels had been employed by the local tobacco planters to superintend the planting and cultivation of tobacco by a number of Bamberg farmers this year. He came to Bamberg the first of the year to enter upon his duties, but a few days after his arrival here he was taken ill, and had to leave for treatment. Mr. Daniels made many friends during his short stay here, and the news of his death will be received with sorrow by many. Defense Council Meets Monday. Next Monday afternoon at 3:30 at the court house an important meeting of the Bamberg county council of defense will be held. A great many matters of interest to the entire county are to come before this meeting and it is urged that every member be present. It has been decided i to hold a meeting of the whole council each first Monday at 3:30 p. m., until further notice. Women to Work for Liberty Loan. South Carolina has been well organized by the women's committee of ' the State council of defense for work during the coming third liberty loan drive, which is to be inaugurated on April 6th. Chairmen of the women's work have been appointed for each of the 45 counties in tjie State. Mrs. Blanche W. Faust, county demonstration agent, has been named county chairman for Bamberg. During the last liberty loan campaign, the women of the State were instrumental in the placing of $3,500,000 in liberty bonds. The women hope to be able to surpass this j mark during the coming campaign. A meeting of the county chairmen was held in Columbia yesterday, Wednesday, for the purpose of discussing the coming campaign, and r?1ar?nincr fnr a snwessflll drive. Bamberg His Choice. One of the most prominent citizens of South Carolina, a resident of the upper section of the State, said the other day that if he were,J going to purchase a farm, he would give Bamberg his preference, as he considered this county the best one in the State from many viewpoints. Bamberg county has an enviable reputation throughout the State, as being a choice agricultural community. Lands here are easy to cultivate, are more fertile than the clay sections, and almost anything under the sun from Florida oranges and South American bananas to good old South Carolina cotton and corn can be grown here. War Stamp Sales. Up to Tuesday noon the Bamberg and Denmark postoffices had reported sales amounting to $830 of war savings and thrift stamps for the month of March, of which a considerably larger amount goes to the credit of Denmark. This represents nearly all of tne sales or tne county. Olar, however, is waking up, and reports sales of $50 worth of war stamps this month. Good sales are expected from Olar from now on. The organization at Ehrhardt has not gotten down to good work yet, and very few sales have been reported so far. However, there is now a good organization there, and good work is expected from Ehrhardt. Bamberg is now doing much better, but there is great deal of room fr>r imnrnvpmpnt Denmark is doine really fine work, and bids fair to leave Bamberg far in the rear unless business picks up here. ^ < ? R. R. Commission Here Today. | The railroad commission will , meet with the citizens of Bamberg on Thursday, March 29th, to discuss the location of the express office. All citizens interested are requested to meet with the commission. The meeting will be held at the office of H. M. Graham, Esq., at 9 o'clock, | A. M., today, Thursday. Five Men to Leave Monday. Monday morning five men, Bamberg county's allotment in the recent draft orders, will leave for Camp Jackson. The men are ordered to report to the local board at four o'clock next Sunday afternoon. They will be taken in charge by the board, %and Monday morning they will leave on the 8:43 train for the camp at Columbia. Three hundred and fortythree men will be sent to Camp Jackson in this call from South Carolina. All of the Bamberg selected men are white. Notices to report here Sunday afternoon have been sent to nine men, five of whom will represent the county in this call. The following are those ordered to appear before the local board: John S. Tyler, E. C. Barker, ^ Ennis Breland, , R. T. Lewis, J. G. Dukes, L. H. Lancaster, J. P. Hiers, G. ,C. Folk, Tom Moody. Commends the Bamberg Plan. The idea of asking the farmers to sign a pledge to cooperate with the government by adhering as closely as practicable to the food production programme is distinctly a Bamberg proposition, conceived by the chairman of the council of defense, Mr. J. C. Guilds. Mr. Guilds passed the idea along to the State chairman, believing that it would be well to in augurate such a campaign throughout the State. The government has since the Bamberg campaign was launched put out cards similar to the food conservation cards, and these are being signed in many counties. These cards embody the same general idea, but go into considerable detail, which it would be very difficult for the planters to agree to at this season, when many of the crops have already been planted, and plans have been completed for practically all crops. Regarding the plan of the Bamberg council, Mr. Guilds has received the following from Mr. D. R. Coker: "The plan you propose for lining up your farmers in Bamberg county is a most excellent one. The only question is whether you can secure sufficient assistance to cover the county and get the desired results. "The main work of the council of defense is to perfect an organization which can and will effectively reach all the citizens of the State, creating a spirit of patriotism which will result in cooperation and support from all of the people. "I am passing along to the other county chairmen your suggestion with the recommendation that it be given careful consideration and adopted where practicable." Red Cross Notes. The executive committee of the A. R. C. chapter held a meeting at the' Rjed Cross room Thursday afternoon for the purpose of making arrangements for ^permanent headquarters of the chapter. The chapter had already under consideration the matter of finishing some rooms in the Carlisle administration building. At the meeting Thursday afternoon the chairman, Rev. G. P. White, announced that Mayor Rentz, on behalf of city council, very generously tendered the chapter the free use of the town hall. After a thorough discussion of the two propositions it was decided, because of the nature of the work that is planned, the making of surgical dressings, which requires every possible sanitary precaution, that it would be advisable to adhere to the original plan to complete the rooms at Carlisle. The thanks of the cnapter were tenaerea to me cuuucn for its very generous offer. A proposition was submitted by The Bamberg Herald for the Red Cross to issue a war saving stamp edition of The Herald for the benefit of the chapter. The proposition was accepted and arrangements were made for the issuance of the edition in the near future. There will be a meeting of the entire chapter next Friday afternoon, March 30th, at 4:30 at Carlisle auditorium. At that time reports will be heard from all the circles, and Mrs. J. H. Cope will also render a rnnAnt If i c lirUA/l fViot ororv mom * tpu 1 C. U XO Ui U1WO VT v* j ber attend this meeting. Another shipment was made to Red Cross headquarters last Friday. Following is the list of articles forwarded: 20 pairs socks. 30 sweaters. 19 shirts. 1 pair pajamas. 2 hot water bag covers. The sentence of eight German prisoners who were sent to Atlanta in connection with the sinking of the German vessel in Charleston harbor have expired and the men have been taken to the internment camp at Fort Oglethrope, Ga. Increased Activity is Urged. The chairman of the council of defense has received the letter below from David R. Coker, chairman of the State council. The State chairman urges increased activity on the part of the county organization, and declares that "the increased seriousness of the war situation makes it absolutely necessary for every American to realize his duty and do it." The letter follows: "The increased seriousness of the war situation makes it absolutely I necessary for every American to realize his duty, and do it. President Wilson, seeing the emergency, urges the complete organization of each Council of Defense to insure the cooperation of the citizens. A live Council, headed by patriotic men, must be had in every rural community, as well as in all the towns. Unless your county is completely covered by such local councils, please organize them at once. Cooperation with schools, churches and women's and other available organizations is absolutely necessary. "This week we must stress the vital importance of making income tax returns (see Mr. Roper's warning in Sunday's paper). We must explain the daylight saving law and the necessity of conforming to the new time schedule, else endless confufeion will ensue. "South Carolina is behind all the other states in the sale of War Sav- j ings Stamps. This must be corrected, j Every community and school should j form War Savings Clubs. Schools i 1 should especially stress war savings. I 1 "The food situation is increasing- ly serious. High cotton must not prevent a full food acreage. Many farmers do not intend to plant suf-1 ; ficient foodstuffs. These must be ' reached in these few days remaining ! before planting is completed. "Strengthen and enlarge your executive committee, if desirable. Assign special work to the members. Appoint strong committees to push thrift stamps, food planting, and Liberty Loan. Do not forget that the Liberty Loan campaign opens April 6th, and plan inspiring meetings for that date. Please realize the vital importance for immediate and vigorous action along the suggested x lines. Call to your aid enough pa- ; triotic citizens to carry out details. | ; You can not carry the burden alone..! ; The planning and executive work is a your especial task. No patriotic citi- j zen will fail to help, if you will ex plain the emergency." A Real Heroine. ! t ! There are a great many people in this old world who have climbed from ; obscurity and through toil and per- , severance have reached the heights of fame. They are termed heroes, 1 and their names live long after they j themselves are dead. However, there j are a great many more real heroes an4 heroines in the world who never become famous. As I think tonight of all the peo- pie whom I know that should be termed great, there stands out in my j mind's eye one ahead of all the rest. ( Her hair now is white and her brow ] wrinkled with age, but in h.er eye ( kindles the light of a perfect faith. k She was not reared in riches and lux- i ury, but in a tiny negro cabin in the slave quarters of a great plantation. From her childhood sl^e cultivated = a pair of strong, useful hands and a loving, faithful heart. Each task al- ^ lotted her was performed to the best ^ of her ability. A sunny disposition and an nnsplfish natnrp mndp nf hpr i 1 a valued and much loved servant ' Always Becky (now termed Aunt Becky) was on hand in time of need. I Each sorrow, each anxiety of her I mistress became her's, and always!" her life was one of service. Every-! e one loved her; everyone looked to j c her for sympathy and help; for ev- eryone knew that beneath the plain ^exterior of a negro servant there j beat the loyal heart of a real hero ine. After the great civil strife that ? set her and her family free* her old f master's children divided their heri- C ta?e with her and sent her out to earn her living on a well equipped s little farm. With the persistence * and will of a real heroine she work- ed her farm, thus helping her husband to earn a living, and after his * death, alone educated her large fam- j ily of children. Today, I, the granddaughter of her old master, love her and call her j t blessed. One of the first and ten- J derest memories that X cherish from *" my childhood are her dear old arms s about me, and her voice crooning a \ lullaby as I fall aslqep. Later I can' | see her again about my home and _ hear her constant requests to help j do something. Always she desired I ? to serve and always she was endeav- ^ oring to aid someone even in the s smallest task. Today she is very T near the end of her long journey of service and she will soon meet her j Saviour in heaven, who, I am sure, t will crown her among the noblest as f He repeats to her the blessed words: j "Well done, good and faithful ser- _ vant."?Contributed.
