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

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.

Reduce Shoe Prices.
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

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. N
