Miss Besie Lee Black's Sabbath school
class, and quite a few of their boy

hostess, shared the honors with these
young ladies who unitedly helped to
make this social gathering a success.

verily, the flowers of spring. Music, '

turn, were engaged in. These young

things they wanted to do for just a i
few hours. Sandwiches and iced tea
were served the guests by Misses

Statement From Mr. Wyman. _
The chairman of the liberty loan
compaign states that from reports
received from members of the liberty
loan committee and from the banks,
that the response of the people in
subscribing to the loan at the call
of the government is satisfactory on
the whole, and the people of the
county are realizing as never before
that this is their war, that their
own men are actively in it, and that
they have a duty to perform in answering
to the calls of their government
at this critical time. The
chairman and the committee members
are much concerned, however,
? J* wof itfolrr
over LUC clllILUUt; Ui a tuiupaian* cij
small number of citizens who do not
realize the fact that the duty to subscribe
to bonds is a personal and
present duty, and the indifference of
some is appalling. Some seem to
imagine that having a son or brother
In service excuses them from also
supplying money for war purposes.
The having of sons, brothers, relatives
and friends in the army or navy
of the country should be all the more
reason why one should give gladly
of his time, energy and money, and
the chairman urges that all committeemen
stress the personal responsibility
of all citizens to come
to the aid of their country.
Cement Walks on Main Street.
Contractor W. J. Nichols is engaged
this week in laying some ce
ment walks across Main street. They
ire four in number, and are being
located at the corner of Main street |
ind Railroad avenue; in front of Dr.
Black's drug store; in front of the
Bamberg Herald, and at the corner
Df Main and Elm streets.
.If we can't have a paved Main
street, this is perhaps the next best
thing. It will enable people to cross
from one side of the street to the
>ther, which is hardly possible in wet
weather?without the aid of a boat.
Pedestrians will certainly be glad of
the new improvement, and everybody
joins in the hope that ere long they
will be able to cross the street anywhere,
instead of having to go to a
jrossing.
Negroes to Buy Bonds.
An organized campaign among the
jolored people of the county
tias been planned by the colled
council of defense in the interest
of liberty bonds. Rev. H. H.
Matthews, chairman, and Rev. L. W.
Williams, secretary of the council,
jailed a meeting of the colored people
to be held in Bamberg yesterday
afternoon (Wednesday j tor tne purpose
of perfecting campaign arrangements.
The colored people are besoming
throughly aroused over the
various phases of war work, and
:heir leaders state that the colored
people can be counted on to do their
part. Already some fine work has
been done by the colored council,
ind they expect to keep it up. Bamv
berg county is fortunate in securing
:he hearty cooperation of both white
and colored people in war work. The
colored Red Cross has already done
ind is continuing to do excellent
work. This branch has made up a
large quantity of war materials and
is pushing the work right along.

Express Matter Still Undecided.
The comimttee in charge of the express
office matter in this city has
received the following letter from the
railroad commission:
"The commission had hoped to be
able to handle the express situation
at Bamberg at our meeting today,
and had officials of the express company
with us at said meeting. They
informed the commission that it has
been impossible to get the data necessary
for the commission to have before
them before acting regard to the
situation at Bamberg. However,
these officials assured the commission
that they would have the statements
ready by the next official meeting
day, ***hich will be Wednesday,
April i 7th. You may rest assured
that the commission is doing all in
its power to secure adequate express
accommodations at Bamberg."
Thought There Was Fire.
Saturday afternoon what was generally
thought to be an alarm of fire
came pretty near breaking up the
patriotic meeting at the court house.
All the stores on Main street were
closed for the meeting, and all the
business men were at the meeting.
While Congressman Byrnes was
speaking, a series of detonations,
sounding very much like a light artillery
bombardment, were heard
down the street. Some one' said it
was a fire, and the crowd began to
shift uneasily, Mr. Byrnes told them
if it was a fire they had better go
and put it out, whereupon the crowd
departed. When they reached the
lower part of Main street they found
what the noise was about. ' It was
Mr. Nat Felder's gasoline engine.
This engine is somewhat like public
opinion, some times it goes right and
sometimes it does not. It's owner
was trying to fire her up to grind
some corn, but she didn't like the
idea of starting. When the engine
fired, it went off like a cannon. Finding
the joke on them, most of the
crowd good naturedly returned to the
court house to hear Mr. Byrnes finish
his speech.

Negro Accidentally Killed.
i
Coroner Zeigler was called to Mid- i
way Friday to investigate the death
of Matthew Brown, a young negro
about 20 years of age. It was found,
! that the negro's death had been the
j result of purely accidental causes,
and no inquest was held. Brown
and another man were sawing down ,
a tree, and when the tree fell, Brown
was caught under it, being crushed
to death. An examination of the
! body was made by the county phy-1
sician, who certified that death resulted
from the above stated causes.;
