Brickie has recently completed a large addition to his garage y on Main street. The addition is of . brick, and is built on to the rear of ** his brick structure. The addition gives the garage quite an additional amount of floor space. The county chairman states that the public generally is invited to hear the addresses which will be made before the Liberty Loan Conimittee on next Monday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, in the court house. Speakers have already been secured oto. tx-oil wnrth hearing. Tf 1A\J di W *i ? - _ Mr. O. F. Thornton, of Mullins, , an expert on tobacco planting* has arrived in the city to superintend the , tobacco farms started here this seay son. A number of farmers of this section are experimenting with tobocco this year, and Mr. Thornton has come to take the place of Mr. Elbert' Daniel, who died a few days ago. The chain gang is now camped on - the Hunter's Chapel road, a few miles from Bamberg. Before starting on ^this road, however, the gang is finishing up the Ehrhardt road. This work . will be completed this week, when . . "work will be started on luc numc. o w> r. * Chapel road. The Ehrhardt road i has now been worked, graded and clayed from Bamberg to Ehrhardt, and is a splendid piece of road. (Engineers Steinberg, Sloan and Oliver, who have been engaged for some time in surveying the new government road from Buford's Bridge fto New Bridge, have about completed their work. The new road, which "will be built in cooperation with the ? federal government, runs entirely across Bamberg county. It is exfpected that work will be started on the road some time during the summer.

J. F. Carter, Esq?,'Of this city, was, appointed to represent Bamberg gf'^- county on the State council of de|l ::fense. , The appointment of Mr. Carter is a most timely one, and a better selection could not have been madev |v i Mr. Carter, in addition to being one of the leading members of the Bam."berg bar, is one of the county's leading and most progressive citizens. He is popular with and knows everybody in the county, and no one doubts that Bamberg county will be well represented on th& State council in the person of Mr. Carter. an. The groom is a prosrerous farmer. They have the best wishes of their many friends for a life of happiness. llfc-.. i v '' > v ^ - ./ A Pair of French Shjoes. A few days ago Lieut. G. D. Ryan ? sent to a friend in Bamberg a pair - of wooden shoes from France. The shoes have been shown to a number of people and are quite a curiosity, being perhaps the first- wooden shoes ever seen in this city. Wooden shoes are used extensively throughout Europe, especially in the Dutch couni-tries, and since the war has caused a great scarcity of leather across the water, many other countries have adopted them more or less generally. / These shoes are made from solid ;3r blocks of wood, with the block cut out to fit the foot. They do not look * nearly so ludicrous as one may imagine, and are doubtless a whole lot better than no shoes at an. Lieut. Ryan enlisted in the service several months ago, having won a lieutenant's commission in the officers' reserve training camp in Georgia. lie sailed for France some weeks ago, in the engineers' corps, and is probably now engaged in the V big battle, where several thousand American engineers are taking part in the great struggle. Dukes-Davis. Orangeburg. April 1.?Miss Mamie Dukes, of this city, and Mr. HomeDavis, of the Pine Hill section of this county, surprised their friends last Saturday evening when they motored to Bamberg and were married by the pastor of the Baptist church ^ of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left for a bridal trip to North Carolina, after which they will make their home in the Pine Hill section. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Fulton Dukes, of this city, and a popular and attractive young worn K LIBERTY LOAX DRIVE. Campaign is Outlined for Bamberg County This Month. The boys whoTiave gone from Bamberg county, your boys, to meet the Hun, are fighting your battles at the front. What are?you doing? It has been demonstrated that individual action, however well directed, will not accomplish as much in any field of endeavor as united effort. The men on the firing line could achieve little if acting each for himself, but being formed into armies which have a definite goal, much is exDected and much will be achieved by them. It is also necessary that we effect some form of organization so that those of us who remain at home may give the necessary support to .the Bamberg county boys at th(* front. As members of the home guard, the first task which confronts us is that of equipping the fighting forces at the front with those things which will make their united effort felt upon the battle fields of France. We cannot supply our men with this equipment without money, we cannot obtain the necessary funds except from the people of the United States, and the people of the country cannot visualize and comprehend the necessity of supplying the money unless and until the situation is explained to them in an intelligent way; nor will they supply the money until each community in the United States has it brought home to its people their individual and personal responsibility, duty and privilege. Therefore, in order that the people of Bamberg county may intelligently direct their efforts toward discharging their obligations to the men we have sent from our midst to the battle lines, a liberty loan committee has been named, with representatives from each section of the county. vM/vmkA'rn f 4- 4 r* ill Uiucr -tuat liic iiiciiiuci^ ui 11110 committee may understand their duties, a meeting of this committee will be held on Monday afternoon, April 18, at 3:30 o'clock, at which time the members of this committee will be addressed by speakers who are well prepared to give the necessary instructions and information, in regard to the third liberty loan campaign. These speakers will be men from other parts of the State who will make our duty clear,to us, and who will fire us with enthusiasm and will create within us a desire to shoulder dur responsibility. The colored council of defense of the county, and all of the colored preachers of the county, have been invited to hear these addresses, and acting through these agencies, the . colored people of the county will have presented to them an opportunity to participate in the defense of their country. The colored preachers and the members of the colored council of defense are[ invited and expected to attend the meeting on the date named above. The third liberty loan campaign opens officially, on April 6th, but as we expect "to obtain some of the best speakers in the State for our public meetings and patriotic rallies' the campaign for the county of Bamberg will not open on April 6th, since we could not secure on that date some of the speakers, who will later address the people of our county. The dates and places of these public rallies will be announced in due time. The following named men are members of the third liberty loan committee for Bamberg county, and in order that they may be informed of thefr duties, and organize for the work, and have the seriousness of T? ??

Monday morning 6 young Bamberg county men left on the 8:43 train for Camp Jackson, Columbia, to enter the military service of Uncle Sam. Bamberg's quota in this call was only five men, but the sixth, Mr. L. H. Lancaster, of Denmark, who was one of the -substitutes summoned to appear before the board Sunday, told AT T 1 AT A T ..

Special mention is made of this, inasmuch as Mr. Lancaster was not one of the five selected for this call, and would not have had to report for some time, at least, had he waited his turn in the draft. The board states that any others of the registered men who desire to do so, may enter the camp at any time by applying to them for permission. The following are tjie five selected | men who left Monday morning: John j S. Tyler, Denmark; E. C. Barker,' Olar; Ennis Breland, Olar; R. T. Lewis, Cope; J. G.

Pub. / /- A ' . i False Answers is Charged. j I Hyman Gordon, a young white! man of this city, left for Brooklyn, I X. V., last Wednesday night, being ! summoned to appear before the local exemption board at that place to an-! swer to the charge of falsely answer- \ ing certain questions in his question- j naire. Young Gordon was arrested j here a few days previously by Unit- j ed States Marshal J. L. Sims. Bond ; was furnished for his appearance in ! New York. Young Gordon states that the i charge is the result of a misunder-! standing, and is positive that he has j not intentionally falsified his ques- j tionnaire. It is alleged that he stat- j ed in his answers that he was married and had one childr whereas up-1 on investigation, it is said, vlt was | found that the child was dead at j the time the questionnaire was fill- j ed out. Gordon states that he reg-! - -i. J 1. v..* ? I lsieieu in. iuiiv ol<ite, uui uaiue j to Bamberg before he received? his j questionnaire, which was filled out j here and forwarded to Brooklyn, and j he further says that he did not know j that his child was dead when he answered the questions. Gordon came to Bamberg several! months ago, and has been employed i in a local barber shop, and has made j quite a good many friends here, who are inclined to the belief that any in- j correct answers were not made in- j tentionally to keep out of the army. j The young man was confident that he could easily straightea out the i matter when he reached his old i home.
