?be Pambcrg 2|eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL. 18M. Thursday, April 11,1918. A half page advertisement was carried recently by a number of county papers for a Florida concern. The concern failed to enclose check or furnish references, and consequently the advertisement was not carried in The Herald. We wonder how many of the newspapers have received payment for it. < ! > ? The Germans were stopped in their last advance on Paris by the British soldiers, who fought against heavy odds, the German superiority in numbers being in some sections of the battle front not less than three 1 ' or four to one. Considering this, nothing else may have been expected tViori o rotrpnt Rllf thp- hat UVU^/1 buua M> * ^V- w*? v. I tie is now going the other way. The German advance is now aimed against the French. We may have no doubts that the French will do their full part, and it is now conceded by military authorities that the odds are no longer with the Germans, but with the allies. And America's hundred thousand will do their share in keeping these barbarians out off Paris, yod may be sure. - -? People should not become excited and alarmed over reports of the work of German propaganda; and yet it is very well indeed for everybody to ? , be on the lookout for eyidences of German influence in this country; and things are just as likely to happen in Bamberg county as anywhere V . else in the country. It is an indisputr. able fact that it is one of the plans of the German government to break I c down the moriile of the people of and country with which she is at war in any manner possible. Such incidents as the poisoning of bread, contaminating water supplies, and so on, is one of the favorite pastimes . of the Germans, and things of this ? ' kind may be looked for in this coun try. No one may suppose that Ger.k many is going to let America alone. That is not the German way of doing things. Even the smallest things are not overlooked by that country. Germany is a pastmaster in the art* of W'-' war. The liberty loan campaign opens in i this county this week. Every man | and woman in the county who possibly can should invest in one 'or more I V ~ liberty bonds. It is the only investJ'"; sment now that is really worth the mon&y. Nothing you can buy from ? ^ the stores now is worth the price you * have to pay for it, but liberty bonds will be worth more than face value any time in the future. A hundred dollar bond will be as good as a hun. dred dollar bill in the years to come, v,.. Anything else you buy now will de-| 2"-. crease in value after the war. Invest! as much of your savings in bonds as you can possibly spare, and if you , v cannot invest in a liberty bond, buy as many war stamps as possible. Let IIS everybody know that you are back of the government. It is a poor patri-! otism that cannot reach down in your j fev pockets. During the last loan the county fell far short of its allotment. ; Let it not be said of the third liberty loan that Bamberg county did not do her part, and more. * South Carolina has not been so well represented in Washington ' in many years as it is today, J an? we would advise that the people of the State should be careful about making any changes. In our opinion it would be a grave mistake to put anybody in Senator v Tillman's place. Although he is not as strong and vigorous as he once was, he is worth more in the senate than any other man in the State, and this fact must certainly be apparent to any thinking man. We do not believe that Representative Lever will make the mistake of offering for the senate. It would be most unfortunate to the State if he did. In his present position in the lower house, .he is of great value and benefit to the State. What his position would be in the senate, conceding that he would be elected, is very uncertain. S.ome great great men in the lower house who have been-elevated to the senate, were never heard about afterward. We do not say that this would be the case of Mr. Lever, but he would be taking a long chance. His chances of election, too, would be very uncertain, and altogether we think it would be disastrous to the State for him to even take a chance at the senate. Senator Tillman's influence in the senate is second, perhaps, to that of no man in congress, and it is our candid and frank opinion that he should certainly stay there; at least until the present crisis is over. Local lumbermen are shipping a great deal of heavy timbers for use in the manufacture of wooden merchant vessels by the United States government. Several carloads have been shipped from Bamberg weekly for some time past, and it is understood that the mills here have orders for a great deal more of these timbers. I / > :;/ " .v.. *. v 'Pfi".

There has already been a drop in the prices charged by retailers for footwear in England in view of the government's action in placing on the market standardized shoes made at controlled rates of profit, according to a report to the United States De-1 partment of Commerce. At' a recent exhibition of "wartime" boots 39 samples were shown, ranging from heavy boots for carters and laborers to shoes for ordinary street use, and children's shoes. Prices range from $2.06 to $6.38 a * ? TI'U ^ AHA ATltirnlr A f P<A 11 . J. lie SUUCS ai c uiauu tij vi leather and the retailer's price is stamped on the sole. Italian shoe factories are manufacturing standardized shoes, using leather furnished by the government, which controls the system of sales to I the public. ' ! In England the manufacture of | standard cloth for men's suits has made rapid progress, 24 patterns being included in the first goods shown. As now planned, provision is made for 750,000 to 1,000,000 suits ready for delivery from June to August. The project may later include production of certain classes of cloth for women's wear, with a gradually widening range of production under government standardization. The campaign to raise a second $100,000,000 has been announced by the American Red Cross for the week beginning May 6. To date nearly $90,000,000 has been appropriated for war relief work.
