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.

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

Monday morning 6 young Bamberg
county men left on the 8:43 train for
Camp Jackson, Columbia, to enter

own request was sent along with the
other five. 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

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-!

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. I '
