Carl Kirsch Enters Ser\ice. 1
i
Mr. Carl Kirsch left Tuesday for <
Camp Jackson, to enter the national 1
army. Mr. Kirsch was one of the
selected men for the contingent leav- *
ing last Friday morning. He had jbeen
given leave to go to New York ^
for a few days, as he was a substi- (
tute. Upon being notified that he
was needed he returned immediately a
to the city. t
Mr. Kirsch's many friends will be c
... . . , , f
interested to learn tnat ne nas oeen
offered an appointment to the offi- r
cers' reserve training camp at Camp j
Jackson, to open on May loth, by c
Col. O. J. Bond, of the Citadel. Col. '(
Bond "will appoint twenty Citadel j
men for this, camp, and the friends e
of Mr. Kirsch feel su$e that he will ^
pass all necessary requirements to J;
enter the camp. He graduated from a
the Citadel in 1912, and is one of t
Bamberg's finest young men. Mr. t
Kirsch applied for appointment to *
the first officers' training camp sev- ^
eral months ago, but failed to pass. I
His leaving for Camp Jackson at c
this time as a selected man will in no J
way prevent his appointment to the t
officers' camp.
About Mail I>elivery. t
c
The postmaster calls attention to *
the following: There are three meth- ^
ods of mail delivery at the postoffice:
General delivery, house delivery, or t
lock box. Patrons are not expected =
to employ all of these methods, and
if they have a box, they should not
expect to have their mail handed out
tnrougn tne window. ut course oox (
patrons can have their mail delivered ^
at their residences as well, if they so (
desire, as the earner can collect mail j
from boxes before starting out with- ;
out trouble. It entails no little extra
work on an already overworked (
force to continually hand mail out ?
of lock boxes through the windows. ?
and prevents the giving of prompt \
service to other patrons. Persons | ]
who choose to receive their mail \ (
by carrier, should not expect to re- \
ceive it from the general delivery (
window. . x

Whereas the United States of America,
for the protection of national
lonor, a free people and a world
lemocracy, is now engaged in a world
var, forced upon us by the kaiser of
Germany and his followers for an
;vil and sinister purpose, and:,

vith their blood:
Be it resolved, that the Bamberg
Democratic club unreservedly endorses
the course of President Woodrow
A'ilson, especially in asking congress
o declare that a state of war existed <
>etween this country and Germany, ,
tnd we approve his war policies since
his declaration; that believing that
his is a righteous war we favor its
'igorous prosecution unto complete :
ind democratic victory, and we look
vith suspicion upon any so-called
Democrat who is opposed to the
ourse of our president in connection
vith this war, and any who are not
oyally supporting our government in ,
he present crisis of the nation.
That we cordially approve the
;tand of our senators and representa- :
ives in congress who voted for the
leclaration of war and who since
hat time have unstintedly and loyilly
supported the efforts of the presilent
in the prosecution of the same. J

Caught Two Deserters. ]
Sheriff Ray is strong on capturing ,
deserters from Camp Hancock, Au- ]
gusta. During the past few months ,
he has caught several of them. ,
A week or ten days ago the sheriff |
caught one of them in this county ,
and lodged him in jail and sent word j
to camp Hancock that the deserter ;
was in the Bamberg jail. The camp
authorities sent down a guard to get .
him and return him to his camp. <
While the guard was looking around .
Blackville before the train left there, i
he eyed two deserters there and arrested
them. He.started on to Bamberg
to get his man here, bringing ]
the two along with him. Between ,
Blackville and Lees, one of the cap- ,
tives made a leap for liberty, jumping
off the train while it was running i
at full speed. He evidently escaped
unhurt and made his get-away. The i
guard brought on the other fellow to
Bamberg, where he collected Sheriff's i
Ray's captive and returned to Au
gusta with both men.
Thursday morning while Sheriff Ray
was out at his farm he went i
down to the hog pasture to feed his j
hogs. The pasture is located in the ]
edge of a swamp. While there, a <
man in soldier's uniform came stealthily
out of the swamp. The sheriff
hailed him and dmanded to see his 1
passport. The soldier replied that \
he had one but that he did not intend ]
to show it. The sheriff was persist- ]
ent, however, and the man showed
ilglll, Clllli 11CX Li IU UU 11UUU iV/U u 41WVV
roughly before he could be induced
to get in the sheriff's automobile,
which was accomplished nevertheless, j
and he was brought to town and plac- <
ed in jail to await his turn in going <
back to camp life. The officers here i
have caught many deserters from the {
army, but this was the first one who <
gave any trouble. ;
Express Office Ordered Moved. c
The committee in charge of the (
matter of removing the express office ?
has been advised by the Railroad ?
commission that the removal of the ]
office has been ordered within the
next thirty days/ This matter was ?
recently agitated, and the commis- t
sion, held a meeting in Bamberg, at <
which both sides of the matter were (
heard, the decision being reserved *
until the commission could inspect
the figures on the amount of busi- j
ness at this office. The committee ^
has received the following letter, an- c
nouncing the decision of the com- n
mission: 6 i
"Mr. W. F. Terrell, Supt. Southern ]
Ry. Co., Charlotte, N. C., Dear Sir: r
As of course you have been informed.
the Commission held a hear- 1
ing at Bamberg, S. C., some weeks 1
ago on the question of the advisa- (
bility of disassociating the express ^
3orvir>o frnm nthpr traffic nt Ramher2r.
Jvl * ? w- T
"The Commission has thoroughly 1
digested all phases of this question ?
and is of the unanimous opinion that p
conditions are such at Bamberg that j
improvement is necessary. It was
clearly shown that the volume of 1
traffic at that point is very heavy and J
is increasing, and that as at present j
conducted it is really dangerous for
the patrons of your office to cross the
railroad tracks, and that they are put *
to great inconvenience in going into ^
the freight depot to transact any f
business with your company. The
Commission has also considered the 6
other phase of the question, as to I
whether it would be advisable to
locate the express office in the passenger,
station, and has reached the c
conclusion that this is not feasible. I
"The Committee therefore directs r
that within the next ? thirty days a
Southern Express Company move its
offices at Bamberg to some location
more convenient to your patrons, and c
that it be divorced from other traffic
at that place." r
KIDNAPPING CHARGED.
Mrs. Florrie Rolen and Miss Norma
Chambers Missing.
.Mrs. Florrie Bolen. aged 22, and
tier sister, Miss Norma Chambers,
igea 15, of Taliferro county, have
Deen missing from home since Wedlesday
afternoon and warrants have
been issued against three Greensboro
citizens, Essex Hanson, J. P.
Branch, and Clarke Carey, charging
:hem with kidnapping in connection
with their disappearance. J. W.
Bolen, husband of Mrs. Florrie Boen.
states that he has reason to beieve
that the two girls were in Augusta
Thursday night. He is makng
a search for them and has enlisted
the aid of officers of the law
lere and in Greensboro.
Mr. Bolen states that while he was
iway from home Wednesday after
noon the three men came by his
house, seven miles from Crawfordrille,
and invited the two girls to go
for a ride with them. They were in
Hanson's automobile (a Chalmers
Six, No. 60617, it is said), and Hanson,
who had been known to the
family for some time, was driving.
The girls accepted the invitation a,nd
were seen by their mother to go
iway.
This was about 3 o'clock. About
7 o'clock, Mr. Bolen states the car
?ame back by the house and he heard
the girls pleading to be allowed to
get out. Instead of letting them get
out Hanson, according to Bolen's
statement, speeded up the car and
was soon out of sight. The car was
headed in the direction of Augusta.
After going to Greensboro and
swearing out warrants against the
men, charging kidnapping, Bolen
" Arv A ii n f/\ l?t*Af<f 1 CY r\ f A Uq I
L.'cuut; IU .lugusia iu mvcoiibait.
says that he has learned that while
the party passed his home Wednesday
evening in Hanson's Chalmers,
they came into Augusta in Branch's
Pord and that Hansen was no longer
with the party. Branch is said to be
about 35 years old and a paralytic,
while Hanson is about 28 and Carey
about 21. Hanson is married and
the.other two single, according to
Bolen.
The girls left home without their
hats. Mrs. Bolen was wearing a grey
coat suit and Miss Chambers a checked
dress, and both had on tennis slippers.
Pictures of them show them to
be very attractive in appearance.
Mr: Bolen asks that they be held
by authorities wherever located and
their father, F. M. Chambers, of
Crawfordville, be communicated
with. "
It was not learned last night
whether the warrants issued for the
three Greensboro men, who are said
to be prominent in that community,
had been served.?Augusta Herald,
Saturday, April 27.
It is reported that these young
women were seen in the city several
times this week. Mrs. Bolen is well
known in the city, having made this
her home for some time.

S. S. Class Buys Bonds.
An interesting incident occurred
Sunday morning at the usual meeting
of the Berean men's class of the Bap- *
tist Sunday-school. The suggestion
was made by Mr. J. J. Heard that the
class should buy a liberty bond/ The
suggestion was received with enthusiasm,
and a motion was passed to
make up funds for the purchase of
one bond to be the property of the
class. More than enough money was
collected in a minute or two for tbo
purpose, and a further suggestion
was made to increase the amount to
two fifty-dollar bonds, and it was decided
to do this. Almost enough
funds were raised in tne ciass room
to buy the two- bonds, and then the
class voted to present the two bonds J
to the home mission board of the
Southern Baptist convention, the profeeds
to be applied to the carrying fl
on of religious work among the soldiers
in the camps and in the expeditionary
forces abroad. In this way
the class^performed a twofold patriotic
service?helping the government
by buying the bonds and assisting the
home mission board in conducting its
religious work among the soldiers.
