ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, May 30,1918.
The entire county has responded in
a magnificent manner in the campaign
for the second Red Cross war
fund. The county has doubled its
q(iota, and then some more. The
people have not only cast their enthusiasm
into the fight, but their
money is at the disposal of the government.
tf
Special mention should be made of
J ' ? ? ?n AA
tn? manner in wmvu luc wiuicu j^v
pie of the county have responded to
the call for the Red Cross war
fund. They have responded in
a splendid and substantial way, and
their contributions have not only
been generous but general.-Great enthusiasm
has been aroused among
the colored folks all over the county,
and they are to be heartily commended
for their patriotic stand.
We don't know whether there is
an ordinance in Bamberg regulating
motorcycles or not, but if there is
not there ought to be. We see quite
a few of these motor vehicles in the
city frequently, and we notice that <
they are to be frequently seen on the
sidewalks. This appears to us as 1
being very dangerous, and we sug- ;
eest to the city council the advisa- .
bility of "regulating these vehicles ;
before some fatal accident brings j
\ tragedy into the /town. ;

A Washington dispatch a few days <
ago told of a visit of Congressman :
Byrnes to President Wilson on a con- <
fidential mission, and the writer says i
that "it is known that Mr. Byrnes 1
enjoys the confidence of the presi- ]
dent." This is interesting in view of :
the. fact that from some sources the
attempt has been made to circulate i
the report that the relations between j
Mr. Byrnes and the president have i
not been so cordial. It is a fact that c
Mr. Byrnes enjoys an intimate friend- i
ship^with the president, and that the i
president sends for the congressman (
on occasion to confer with him on 1
matters of vital importance. * Mr. s
Byrnes occupies a very important ?
position in congress, being a member 1
of the important appropriations committee,
upon which the financial c^n- 2
duct of the government rests. i

CRALISLE CLOSES SESSION j
SERMOX SUNDAY BY DEV. MARK
L. CARLISLE, 1). D.
School Enjoyed Largest Enrollment
in History.?Xo Graduating
Class This Year.
The annual commencement sermon
of Carlisle school was preached Sunday
morning at the Methodist church
by Dr. Mark L. Carlisle, of Ander
soil. Dr. Carlisle delivered one of"
the finest addresses heard in Bamberg
in a long time. The subject of
Dr. Carlisle's sermon is found in
Hebrews 12:27, "Things which cannot
be shaken."
Previous to>the sermon. Headmaster
J. C. Guilds made a short talk on
the work of the school for the past
session. .Mr. Guilds stated that during
the session just ended the enrollment
of the school had reached
162, which is some twenty more pupils
than ever enrolled at any previous
session.
Mr. Guilds announced that foi
several reasons the annual graduating
exercises, usually held on
Monday evening, had been called off.
Governor Manning had been expected
to deliver an address on that occasion,
but the press of official business
had prevented him from coming.
Inasmuch as the raising of the standard
of the school had prevented the
graduation of the usual class this
tear, and the prevention of Governor
Manning's coming, it was decided
not to hold these exercises this
fear. Mr. Guilds announced, howaver,
that one young lady, Miss Mulliaix,
had completed the course, and
vould be awarded a diploma privately.
After further announcements,
Mr. Guilds introduced Dr. Carlisle.
Dr. uarnsie siaieu mat uc v?aa
lot a -stranger here. Fifteen year's
igo he had preached a sermon on a
similar occasion in Bamberg. The
discourse was along the lines of the
var. The subject was closely allied
vith many, phases of the war, and the
liscussion of these relations comlined
to make the address one of the
strongest and clearest it has been the
;ood fortune of Bamberg people to
lear.
A number of things in this world
ire unshakable. Among them, he
lamed truth, freedom, faith in God,
rrayer, and finally, and greatest, God
limself. Discussing truth, the speakir
related how Germany had at the
jutbreak of the war endeavored
>y a net work of untruth attempted
o put herself in the position of a
nild lamb being attacked by wolves.
Pruth, however, cannot be downed,
t came out, and# it came out so
trongly that even Germany now does
lot attempt to justify her position
>y attempting to prove she was at-'
acked. It has been clearly demonsrated
that she and she alone was reponsible
for the awful conflict. The
peaker here digressed long enough
o say that he believed as firmly as
le believed anything that the power
>f the devil is behind the German
:aiser in this war, and that we are
ighting the most powerful earthly
illy the devil has. For this reason
done. Dr. Carlisle prophesied that
he kaiser would go down into disas- 1
er because his cause is not founded i
>n the solid rock of truth and justice.
The question of freedom is eximplified
in little Belgium today.
By the overrunning and rape of Bel;ium,
and the conquering by overwhelming
arms, there now remains
>nly a little strip of territory about '
i by 20 miles, left of Belgium. Alhough
their country has gone, the
ove of freedom of action and thought
till abounds in the little kingdom,
md the spirit of the people remains ,
mbroken. Just so long ag this spark |
>f love of freedom can be kept alive,
10 power can wipe this nation off the
ace of the earth.
In conclusion, Dr. Carlisle pleaded
with the people tc let their foundaion
rest upon God who throug all the
:enturies, stands unshaken. Build
'our reputation upon a solid rock,
litrh vnnr ideals tn the thines that
annot be shaken, is his advice. After
he incidents of the past four years,
me is likely to question, "is these
mything solid, anythiifg stable?" In
Jermanv where education had been
ostered to the highest degree, and
'eligion had supposedly reached a
ligh state of cultivation, things are
lot stable, because of the absence of
Jod.
Dr. Carlisle was to have made the
mnual address before the Young
People's Christian association at the
baptist church Sunday night, but he
vas compelled to leave for tiome.
rhe community was very fortunate
n securing for this occasion Dr. E.
if. Poteat, former president of Furnan
university, who was in Bamberg
Sunday night, and delivered one of
lis famous addresses. ' Dr. Poteat is
veil known here, having made the
iommencement address before the
Carlisle school a few years ago.
The subject of Dr. Poteat's address
vas prosperity in the South, and it
vas founded upon passages from the
FREE ERuift Ail TAXES
U. S. War Savings Stamps Are
Free From Federal, State
Or Local Taxation-Pay
t Good Interest.
One of the advantages of the war
avings stamps as an investment is
that they are not subject to taxation.
The following statement in reference
to this feature has been issued by the
war savings committee:
"When preparing for the issuing of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates,
the national administration
very wisely decided that they would
not be subject to any taxes?federal,
state or local. In this respect, they
are entirely unique, being free when
almost everything else of value is subject
to impost.
"As the amount that an individual
mav hold is limited to $1,000. this con- s
cession does not deal unjustly toward
other security holders. It is simply
an inducement to the small investof
ito make an unusual effort in his own
country's behalf by depositing as
much of his surplus with the government
as possible. Those who buy
these little bonds?and all should do
it?should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return in
April that whatever of their earned
savings or surplus derived from economics
is converted into Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Certificates
need not be recorded upon the assessor's
blank. As the interest and principal
are payable in 1923, neither is it
necessary to make mention of the investments
in the return to the income
tax collector.
"They are, as stated, absolutely free
and, as they also pay 4 per cent, compound
interest, are the best securities
that one can buy m these troubled
times.

Colored School Makes Record
Seven-Mile School Near Charleston
Has 100 Per Cent. War Savings
Stamp Enrollment.
Charleston, S. C.?The 7-Mile School
at Mit. Pleasant, S. C., has made the '
leading War Savings Stamp enrollment
in the State of South Carolina,
according to reports in so far. This is
a colored school, and the teacher and
very pupil owns at least one thrift
stamp, which is considered an excellent
showing, and which is taken here
as an indication of what can be accomplished
in the schools of the state.

HOORAY FOR CHARLOTTE!

Washingtno, D. C.?Charlotte, Michigan,

eighth chapter of Deuteronomy. He
related how after the civil war conditions
were bad in the South, and
the people were in sore*circumstances,
but that a few years ago the economic
and industrial resources of the
South began to be exploited, and
prosperity began pouring into the
Southern States. The present war
had done much to develop these resources
to a highly profitable state,
and the placing of the army cantonments
had contributed largely to
bringing to the South much prosperity.
The marrow of Dr. Poteat's address
on this subject was to warn
the people of the peril of prosperity.
The making of money is a worthy
ambition, but it is fraught with many
hidden and possibly unseen dangers.
He pleaded with the people to use
their wealth not only wisely, but for
the elevation of mankind and the
furtherance of the Kingdom of God
on earth. National wealth had imperilled
nations in Bible days, and
the peril is present today. This
wealth can be of untold benefit to the
world, or it can sink our own nation
into disaster.
He pleaded with the people to
give of their means to the worthy
causes now presented, and to humble
themselves before God.
