At the meeting of the Bamberg
lodge of Knights of Pliythias Monday j
evening a donation of $25.00 was
made to the Red Cross war fund.
The commencement exercises of i
Converse college, Spartanburg, will <
held May 31 to June 3. Miss Mildred 1
Knight, of Bamberg, is a member of <
the graduating class. 1
Quite a number of Bamberg peo- 1
pie went down to Ehrhardt Sunday 1
afternoon and to Denmark Sunday 1
night to hear Capt. Pierrett, of the
French army, and Hon. T. u. MCJL?eoa,
of Bishopville, speak at Red Cross
rallies.
Mr. JoJhn H. Cope yesterday received
a telegra mfrom his son, Mr.
Glenn W. Cope, stating that he had
safely arrived in America from a vayage
to France. Mr. Cope is in the naval
reserve forces. He expects to get
leave of absence soon to visit his
relativs here.
The boy scouts of McColl, of which
Mr. Bissell Beach, a former Bamberg
boy is assistant scout master, sold in
the recent campaign $72,000 worth of
liberty bonds. Ten of the scouts won
war medals. This a most enviable
record, and the friends of Mr. Beach
congratulate him upon the success of
his organization.
Mr. C. C. Rowell. of Bamberg, has
been employed as policeman for the
town of St. George. He took charge
of the job last week, and while he
has little to do so far, he seems to be
wide-awake and on the alert for
something to happen. He impresses
the writer as being a good officer.?

Mr. S. A. Hand presented The

peaches last week, which were appreciated.
Mr. Hand has nearly
every kind of fruit imaginable on his
premises on Main Street, and from '
the healthy, magnificent appearance 1
of the trees, Mr. Hand must he a 1
t
splendid horticulturist.
Prof, and Mrs. Klein will give
their annual music recital at the
graded school auditorium Wednesday
evening, May 22. The exercises
will begin promptly at 7 o'clock. An
excellent programme showing the
high class work done by Prof, and
Mrs. Klein will be carried out. All
people interested in this phase of
the school work are cordially invited
to be present.
We are requested to announce
that it is the intention of the central
committees to publish the list
of contributors to the Red Cross
war fund, as soon as the lists can
be compiled. For this reason all
v local committees are asked to be
careful in getting the names and i
amounts of all contributors. In the j
fall the names will again be publish- i
ed together with the amounts pledg- i
ed and the amounts paid. j

Four Go to Clemson College. j
1
The following four young men,
who volunteered for special training
at Clemson College, left last Thursday
morning for that place:
J. G. Hutto, Bamberg.
R. M. Rowell, Bamberg.
B. R. Clayton, Ehrhardt.
F. B. Goodwin, Bamberg.
These young men were in the draft,
but volunteered for immediate training
at Clemson this summer in spec- j
ial industrial work.
156 Tons for Bamberg.
Mr. C. W. Rentz, distributer of nitrate
of soda for Bamberg county,
has received the following telegram
relative to this county's allotment:
Washington, D. C., May 10
C. W. Rentz, Bamberg, S. C.: ?
Have allotted Bamberg county one
hundred and fifty-six tons nitrate <
from vessel expected arrive Charleston
about May 15th. Wire shipping
instructions immediately, stating
whether original or even weight
bags desired. Delivery may be facilitated
if shipment made in original
bags. Will advise you upon arrival
additional vessels, and will ask
further instructions. BRAND.
War-time Potatoes.
Mr. G. M. Sandifer has gone into
raising war-time potatoes or rather
some of his potatoes have gone into
growing tubers on a war-time basis.
He brought to The Herald office Saturday
afternoon an Irish potato vine
which has performed double duty.

twenty potatoes from the roots of
this plant. Not being satisfied with
doing a large share of its ordinary
duty, the plant went ahead and produced
four or five small potatoes on
the vine itself, that is on that part of
the plant which gathers nitrogen from
the air. The plant is quite a curiosity.
in that it produced potatoes
both above and beneath the ground.
There were two such hills in Mr.
Sandifer's patch. He expects to plant
them next season and watch the result.

Denmark Takes the Lead.
Denmark put on some steam this
nonth, and has jumped to first place
n sales of war saving stamps. Up to
loon Tuesday the sales reported from
Denmark for the month of May aggregated
about $400 more than her nearest
competitor, Bamberg. The sales
eported so far this month are as
'ollows:
Denmark $1,533.44
Bamberg 1,119.38
Ehrhardt 249.09
Olar 108.20
Govan 43.03
Schofield
Embree
Total $3,033.16
The sales by months up to date
follow:
December $ 192.6S
January 288.97
February 475.2S
March., 1,111.93
April 5,619.30
May (to 21st) 3,053.16
Total ...$10,841.54
It is to be borne in mind that these
figures show the actual amount of
cash paid in to the various postoffices
and do not count the stamps at face
value. This will serve to materially
increase these figures, for only $4.16
is paid for a five-dollar stamp. The
reports sent out by the war savings
committee give the figures in face value
of stamps, which, of course, increase
the figures almost a fifth.
Commends the Colored People.
Olar, May 21.?The Red Cross
drive is on, and I am glad to be informed
how nobly the people of
Bamberg county are responding to
this great cause. It is interesting
and gratifying to note the feeling of
patriotism that now exists among
our people, white and colored.
The colored people deserve a great
deal of credit for the way in which
they are responding to this call.
The Sweet Branch congregation contributed
$116.75 last Sunday. Rev,
Richburg is pastor of this church.
Sweet Rest, the colored Baptist
church at Olar, contributed $220.00.
Other colored churches will be given
an opportunity next Sunday. May
the people continue to contribute liberally
to the Red Cross.

WILL YOU HELP *
?
Adveitiso Bainl>erg County's Advantages?
Are you willing to help advertise
Bamberg county to other sections of
the United States? Don't you know
that there are many excellent features
about the industrial and agri- v
cultural and social life of the city
and county that would attract other
home-seekers? Don't you know that
these home-seekers don't find these
facts out unless somebody tells
them? To answer this purpose, to
fill that mission, The Bamberg Her- J
aid is going to issue a Prosperity M
Proclamation edition some time in
the near future. It will describe our J
situation and possibilities; it will ad- I
vertise the inducements and benefits
held out for newcomers, and it will
rive nublicitv to this community
it has never had before.
Every progressive citizen shoulc^^^^^J

anything else, exquisite photographs

schools, farms, stock, and growing
fields, etc. Pictures show more about
a section than talk, and while words
can be put together in an eflort to
"stall" others, actual photographs
show actual realities.
We wart to ?ret photographs of
some of the progressive farms in
this county, showing the high state
of culture and comfort which exists
in our rural sections. This edition
cannot be issued without a great expense.
The most novel manner in a
which this, edition.will be distributed A
appeals to everyone. Xo display ad- M
vertisements are to be inserted in the M
paper, but only write-ups of various ^A
firms and people accompanied by pho- II
tographs of them or their places of
business. The patrons do not pay
for this pace, nor pictures or cuts, nH
but help bear the expense of the edition
by buying 7ariois copies of the H
Prosperity Proclamation edition.
These are sent out by The Bamberg V
Herald to various persons, including
whatever addresses given by the purchaser
of the copies.
The Bamberg Herald has been
meeting with cheerful cooperation
and a number of progressive citizens
are already backing it by sub- \
scribing for copies. We have special
men here working on this issue and
in a few days pictures will be taken
of every point of interest which will
be printed in -this paper. Bamberg ^
has never issued an illustrated writeup
of the county and this is going to
be a complete one. Call around to
The Herald office and talk it over f J
with us.
