a few years ago, will learn with much
/ regret that he suffered a stroke of
paralysis last week at his home at
Olar.
Much needed rains have fallen
throughout the county this week, the
rains being followed by disagreeably
' cold weather. The grain props and
parHAnfi wprp verv much in need of
the rains.
^frs. John H. Cope and Mrs. Glenn

of the new concern. 1
Monday was salesday in Bamberg,
but there were no legal sales to be
made. The county ' commissioners
held a short session, at which the |
regular monthly routine of busjness !
was gone througn with.
Sheriff S. G. Ray officially destroy- ;
ed a quantity of whiskey this week, ,
by pouring it out on the ground. The )
whiskey was confiscated some time ]
ago at Denmark, while in transit, \
its ownership being unknown.
All persons v having mortgages,
deeds, etc., to record in the cleqk of
court's office are reminded again that
revenue stamps must be affixed be- J,
fore the clerk can record them. Many (
papers have lately been received with j
J no stamps on them. j
In the statement of sales issued i
by the director of war savings stamps
to March SO, Bamberg stood-34th in i
the State, with per capita sales of 11 <
cents. In sales for the week ending 1
March 30th the county stood 35th i
( with per capita sales of .006. i
The sixth grade at the Bamberg a
graded school has purchased up to 1
date $123.96, worth of wax stamps. *
This is a fine ?howiug, and if every \
grade in all the schools of the coun- <
ty will do as well the standing of I
, ; Bamberg county will go up rapidly, ?
' ... The Cope Telephone company, of j
Cope, has been chartered by the ?
secretary of State, with a capital e
stock of $2,000. The officers of the
new concern are: President, A. J. ^
Thomas; vice president, W. H. Zeig- 1
. ' ler; secretary and treasurer, E. E. c
Ritter. , c
r
Ten per cent, of the county's allot- t
ment of nitrate of soda has been dis- e
tributed by Mr. C. W. Rentz, distributer
for this county. This soda*
was shipped in for immediate use on
the grain crops,- The remainder of c
the allotment is expected to be ship- 1
. ped here soon.j
The people are gradually becoming
accustomed to the new time, although 2
' .some confusion still, prevails when <
people attend public gatherings. The t
meeting of the liberty loan/committee j
at the court house Monday afternoon
was nearly an hour late on account c
of some of the. committeemen arriv- t
ing late. /
Mr. M. Zimmerman, who former- t
ly operated a dry. goods store here, f
was in the city a few days this we^k.
/Mr. Zimmerman denies that he is l
dead, as was generally reported several
months ago. In fact, he is a lively
looking corpse. He has been quite
sick, however, in a sanitarium in ^
North Carolina, but his health has e
greatly improved. c
, The chain gang qn Saturday com- t
pleted the Ehrhardt road to the town n
limits of Bamberg. This is now one t
I of the finest roads in this part of the
State. We suggest that city council t
should now work Carlisle street to- a
^ v?jn-iiu. 3 , mu.
connect wmr iue uew iwu. mo c
gang is now starting work on the t;
Hunter's Chapel road, which will re- 4
quire probably several ninths to n
complete. 11
Mr. A. M. Denbow calls attention
. * to the fact that the Peoples Bank
. ' during the last liberty loan handled
their subscriptions through one of
the Columbia banks, and for this reason
the county did not secure credit
for these subscriptions. It is likely
that other banks of the county
handled subscriptions through their
correspondents,- which doubtless accounted
for the low standing of the 0
county in the second loan. S
The stores of Bamberg have agreed *
to close on Saturday afternoon from d
four to five o'clock,. on account of
the patriotic rally to be herd at the
: court house. The people are asked *
to' bear this in mind and transact
their business before the stores close
rather wait until after the meeting. J
AH of the visitors in the city Satur- 1
day afternoon are invited and ex
pected to attend the meeting at the
court house in the interest of the
sale of liberty bonds. c
A few nights ago while returning
from Orangeburg in a car several j
young Bamberg men met some ne- r
groes in a car near Cope. Upon seeing
the Bamberg men, the negroes t
ran their car into a ditch, jumped out
ana ran. i ne young men urougm me
car on to Bamberg and notified the
Orangeburg authorities. It was j
found that the car had been stolen
from an Orangeburg citizen sometime ;
. ago. The next day the car was returned
to its owner. <
The local postoffice has been advised
by the postoffice department
that hereafter no parcels or pack- j
ages can be accepted for transmission
through the mails to soldiers or sailors
in the American expeditionary
forces abroad, unless the sender can
produce a request in writing from the ]
party to whom the package is addressed.
This action became necessary
on account or the increasing <
quantity of such packages, and the
great amount of ship space consumed ]
_ in transporting them.

the United States.
A Patriotic Colored Man.
This great war is serving in many
ways, in bringing the best qualities
}f people to the front, and every day
there are individual incidents worth
-ecording and worth telling to other
people.
One such incident occurred Monday
ifternoon, when L. L. Butler, a colorid
registrant *of Ehrhardt, appeared
)efore the local exemption board and
equested permission to enter the
irmy at once. Butler is registered,
,nd was a substitute in the last quota,
>ut did not have to go. Last week
le went to Charleston and tried to
jet into the service and later went to
Columbia for the same purpose, but
le was told that lie would have to
jet permission from his local board.
This Butler did Monday, and he left
ct once for Ganfp Jackson at his own
expense.
This is the second one of the substitutes
ih the last quota to volunarily
enter the militar service of the
:ountry, the other being L. H. Lan:aster,
of Denmark, a young white
nan, who left for Camp Jackson at
he same time the county's last quota
mtered the service.

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE ON- !
County Organization Now Going Over
the Top for Liberty.
Monday afternoon a meeting of the
liberty loan drive committeemen of
the county was held at the court
house for the purpose of receiving j
instructions and arranging to get
down to business. It is Bamberg!
county's aim to "go over the top" j
with the liberty loan this week. The
public was invited to attend a portion j
of the meeting, during which time
the audience was given the opportunity
of hearing one of the most gifted j
speakers in the State, Hon. Christie i
Benet, of Columbia, who is devoting 1
a large part of his time to war work.
The meeting was opened with prayer j
by Rev. R. H. Jones, after which \
County Chairman J. A. Wyman intro-.
duced Mr. Benet.
Mr. Benet said that it is hard fori
the people at home to realize that {
men are dying across the water for
us, or to realize that thousands of j
people are starving to death in war-;
ridden Europe, and yet such is the I
case. With us here, the most vital j
question is that of food production.;
Many articles of food cannot be had j
in Europe at all, particularly fats, j
and the people are suffering for this
article of diet, which is absolutely'
necessary to the human system. The :
speaker said that Herbert Hoover has ;
a bigger responsibility on him than
any other man in the country except- 1
ing President Wilson, for it is he who !

must say which nation shall starve
and which shall live.
The American people can be trusted
when the matter is put up to them,
however. For instance, last fall the
appeal was made to conserve beef.
To the credit of America it can be
said that enough beef was conserved
since August to feed the allied armies.
.Mr. Benet paid a glowing tribute
to the Red Cross, and urged the
people to back it up. The Red Cross,
he said, saved the morale of the
French, when it fare to break down
some time back. The soldiers were
receiving letters from home telling
them their families were suffering
for the lack of food and clothing and
medical attention. The Red Cross
came to the rescue, and claimed
the everlasting thanks of France and
completely restored the spirit of the
French soldiers.
"What will your money be worth
if we lose this war?" asked the
speaker. "It will be absolutely worthless.
It is not a question of how
many bonds you have bought, but
how many can you buy." We nfust
have ships, we must have guns and
ammunition, and we must have food,
and it takes money to get these
things.
Every man or woman is either for
or against us, he said, and every
person will have to account for-his
actions during the war. "Shall we
permit people to drop slimy poison
at home, when our boys are dying
for us at the front?" he asked. He
does not condone lynching, but such

I persons should be respectably shot,!
and the goverment estimates that
i there are 250,000 spies in America, j
If the buying of bonds is all you :
| can do to win the war, buy them, is
; the advice of Mr. Benet. Back up the
government, back up the chairman,
I let the boys at the front know that
j everyone of us to a man is behind
them to the last ditch. The speaker
believes in his heart with all his
might that we will win, and he wants
to win on the battle field of France, j
"and by the help of God we will do j
| it."
| Senator J. H. Johnson, of Allen- j
i dale, field chairman of this district,:
; followed with some facts about the
j work in his district. It developed;
i that during the last campaign, only 1
! one per cent, of the population of1
1 Bamberg county bought bonds.
Mr. J. C. Guilds, chairman of war j
| stamp sales, made a short talk on his
i work. It is the aim, Mr.. Guilds j
i said, to make this U. S. S. month? |
! United States securities month?and j
i it is the ambition of the county com- j
mittees to Dlace in the hands of every
I man, woman and child in the county, j
; white and colored, either liberty;
bonds or war stamp?.
After the public meeting the com-,
j mittees held a meeting,' at which the ;
campaign in the county was mapped j
