%\)t Bamberg ^eralb Thursday, June 13,1918. SHORT LOCALS Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Mr. J. H. Hutto Monday sent The Herald quite a nice specimen of twin cucumber. They (or it) were (or . was) perfectly formed. The ministers of the county were requested to preach sermons last Sunday on thrift, in connection with the forthcoming campaign in the interest of war saving and thrift stamps. The following Bamberg county schools will receive State aid: Bamberg high school, $700; Denmark high school, $550; Olar high school, $450. Schools in Barnwell county will receive $2,550; Colleton,-$600; Hampton, $2,320. The Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist church win hold tneir regular monthly meeting on next Tuesday afternoon at 5.30 o'clock. Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg will conduct the devotional and literary part of the programme. Visitors will be cor' dially welcomed. The eclipse of the Sun Saturday afternoon was witnessed by a large number in the city. With the ex^ ception of a small patch of clouds when the sun first began going into eclipse, the vision was clear. At its height, the eclipse produced darkness usually witnessed at dusk in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Carter, of Ehrhardt have received this message from their son, Mr. B. Tillman Car/ ter: "The ship on which I sailed has V arrived safely overseas. Feeling fine, will write later." Mr. Carter's address is as follows: Co. M, 118th Infantry, 59th Brigade, American Expeditionary Forces, 30th division. Messrs. M. G. Cooner, C. R. Goza, C. S. Gillam, and Isaac Barfiela have returned to this county from the training camp. These young men u-flro drafted and SATlt. to camD re cently, but they failed to pass the physical examination at the camp. Other men will be selected to fill the places thus vacated in the county's quota. 1%e Furman Glee club, of Greenville, gave a concert in the Carlisle auditorium Friday ' evning for the benefit of the Red Cross. A large crowd attended, and about $85 was taken in .at the door. A concert was given at Ehrhardt Saturday night, and the club sang several selections , at the Sunday evening services at the * Baptist church in this city. In view of the fact that attention has been called to the low percentage of class 1 men in several of the counties of the State, it is interesting to note that in this county the percentage is about 35. The average is about 29. It has been ordered i that in counties where the percentage is low the classification is to be investigated. , Where parties are found to be in a low class when indications show he should be in class one, he is to be reclassified. Two young Bamberg men have received commissions in the army from the officers' training school of the 8,1st division, Camp Jackson. They j were E. Henry Henderson and Paul V J. Zeigler, both of whom were gradu- j ated from the school recently and placed on the eligible list. Both ' were commissioned as second lieutenants. These young men have scores of friends throughout this section who congratulate them upon their appointments. >Ir. H. M. Graham has moved his family to Greenwood, where they will reside in the future. While Mr. Graham and family will reside in Greenwood, he will retain his interests in this city, and will make frequent visits to Bamberg. Their many friends regret that they have moved from the city. Mr. Graham has been prominently identified , with many enterprises in the city and county, and he and family will always find a warm welcome in this s community. The many friends of Mr. Carl 0. Kirsch will be glad to know that he has been admitted to the officers' training camp. Mr. Kirsch was rec./ . omended for appointment to the officers' school by Col. O. J. Bond, of the Citadel. Before his recommendation was acted upon, however, he was selected as a member of a contingent from this county to Camp Jackson. Mr. Kirsch is a graduate of the Citadel, and has had considerable mili1 tary training, and his friends are confident that he will win his commission. s mm l?l Colored W. S. S. Campaign. Editors The Bamberg Herald: ? Permit me space in the columns of your paper to state that on account of the double meetings which were scheduled for this week, the Colored Council of Defense for Bamberg county, the chairman and secretary, thought it would be of more advantage to the W. S. S. campaign drive to concentrate all the forces in the two meetings, one of which will be held at the court house on Thursday, the 13th, and the other at Thankful Baptist church on Friday, the 14th. All the colored citizens are asked to do their very best in this^campaign for the W. S. S. drive. All who did not get a liberty bond or contribute to the Red Cross fund should avail themselves of this opportunity to manifest their patriotism bv buvinsr nne or more W. S. S. Don't let this chance pass you. The government needs the aid of every man, woman and child, of both races, who is able to help now. We trust there will, be splendid meetings at the court house and at Thankful church. Yours for success and "goring over the top" in the W. S. S. campaign drive in Bamberg county. H. H.

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN. ik'ive for S'5wU,UOO Sales Regius Tuursday Afternoon. To the people of Bamberg county: : Once again the government?our; government?has offered us the op-; portunity to show our loyalty and pa- J triotism. This time it comes in a. great campaign for the sale of war savings stamps and the pledging of! ourselves to save, to economize, and! to help win the war. in /several re-! spects this is the biggest and most important campaign which has been' launched in this county. May I call: your attention briefly to some of them? : 1. It is the greatest in amount of I money to be invested. The war sav- j ings quota for Bamberg county is, in | rnnnH nnmhoTS S200 000 almost as much as the three Liberty Loan quotas combined. The government placed the war savings quota upon population, $20.00 per capita for every; man, woman, and child, white and j black, in the county. The population : of our county at this time is placed ' at something over 19,000. Of course, j the quota means maturity value of I the stamps and not present value, j It means that the government will j pay our people $390,000, in 1923,; but that if the stamps were pur- j chased this month it would cost our; people only $325,260. The county's quota for this drive, j beginning June 14 and closing June, 28, is $160,000, with 20 per cent., ori $32,000 in cash purchases. At the! meeting of war savings workers last j Friday it was decided that we would strive to at least double the quota I for this county, makipg our goal, $320,000 in, pledges and cash. Does1 this seem large? It can be easily and q,uicklv done if we are all willing; to "go the limit," and realize when j we think we have gone the limit that! we have done nothing compared to the boys who are fighting for our j homes and our protection. 2. We are not asked simply to buy war savings but to "save, and economize, to help win the war." j Now, our patriqtism and loyalty is to be tested. This campaign will try its sincerity. Are you willing to! sign that pledge? If not, by what Vn A : measure are yuu uraimiug lu uc a loyal American citizen? You, say the < government has no right to ask you to sign such a pledge. Has the gov-; ernment the right to ask the boys! who have gone from Bamberg coun-1 tv to pledge their lives for victory? j What is our pledge to save, to leavei off uselesis and needless purchases, to f deny ourselves some of the luxuries,1 to compare with the pledge that our brave lads have made? How could we dare look one of those boys in the face when he comes back home if we are unwilling to pledge everything for his support and protection? Let : us sign this pledge freely, gladly,' gratefully, and sincerely! And after all the government is not asking us to give up anything permanently, but simply to postpone.buying ' it for a season. At the end of four and a half years our money will come | back with good interest and we will probably be able to buy twice as much with it then as we can now. ? 3. One of the prettiest features. of the war savings proposition is that j it is the most adaptable of all govern-; ment security. It fits everybody's pocketbook. You can make your purchase anywhere from 25c to $1,000. Everybody can come in, and everybody must come in if we. are to win this \yar. Our great President has said to us time and again that this is not; a war between armies but nations, i The whole nation?men, women and ! children, must be mobilized. We: must all endeavor to hold our place in the line, and we all have our places that cannot be filled by any-, one else. Remember the old adage: "Another man can do your work but no one else can do your duty!" I make the noint. then, that the : war savings proposition is a great i one because it gives everybody who i wants to help a chance. And I wish! I could drive home this truth: When 1 this campaign is over, if there is a person in Bamberg county?man or. woman, boy or girl, white or black? who has not proved his love and loy- j alty to his government by investing j or pledging to invest of his means,1 it will not be because he could not, but because he did not want to! I am sure there is enough loyalty j and willingness to sacrifice among | the people of Bamberg county to put i this campaign "over the top" as the i ! others have gone. The quotas of the various com- j munities, both for this drive and/i the year are given below: ] Quot Pledges Bamberg $6 Denmark 4 Ehrhardt 3 Olar 1 Govan !

PATRIOTIC RALLIES TODAY. Yavy Yard Band From Charleston. Y. G. Evans Will Speak. Patriotic rallies will be held at three points in Bamberg county today (Thursday) opening the campaign for the sale of war savings and thrift stamps. The first meeting will be held at Ehrhardt at 11:00 a. m.; the Denmark meeting will begin at 3:00 p. m., and the Bamberg meeting will be held at 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon. All meetings will be started promptly. It is especially necessary that the Bamberg meeting be held on scheduled time, as the band will have to leave at 6:27 for Charleston. Hon. N. G. Evans, of Edgefield, will address the meetings in this county. Mr. Evans is a member of the legislature from Edgefield county, and is acknowledged to be one of the best speakers in the State. He i/s whole-heartedly for the sucessful prosecution of the war, and has done considerable work along this line. 1 The people are promised some good auuresses muiu mm. Everybody in the county is urged to attend one or more of these meetings. A great many Bamberg people have already planned to attend all of them. It will be well worth the time to stop work for a few hours and attend at least one of these meetings. These meetings will formally launch the drive for war savings and thrift stamps. The campaign will be pushed rapidly and much work is to be accomplished during the two weeks to follow. Bamberg county is to raise in cash and pledges $320,000 for the purchase of war stamps. This is a tremendous task, but the people of the county have become used to big tasks, and she is getting into the habit of responding to them in big figures. While this is the biggest thing yet tackled, the campaign managers have gone about their work with a vim, and every one of them express their confidence that the thing will be done.

In the court of general sessions at Charleston Tuesday, J. W. Turner was found not guilty of the murder of W. Baker Kennedy, who was shot and killed by the former at Ashley Junction some weeks ago. The jury in the case, after hearing the evidence deliberated about twenty minutes, returning a verdict of acquittal. Turner claimed self-defense. Mr. Kennedy was a Bamberg county boy, having been born and reared at Govan. He was widely connected throughout the county, and there was much interest in the outcome of the trial. J. F. Carter, Esq., went to Charleston Tuesday to represent the interests of the prosecution, assisting the solicitor. If money talks it is probably a paying teller. Government Nitrate. It appears that deliveries of nitrate is going to be a little later than some expected. The following information may be of interest to Bamberg county farmers. A communication of recent date from Chief Brand, of Washington, D. C.: "Following ships for Charleston port will deliver nitrate tc South Carolina farmers: The 'Munrio,' now discharging at Charleston for South Carolina farmers. (This vessel was due May 15th.) The 'Canoga' is expected Savannah about May 2 6th and will discharge her cargo in port at Savannah for distribution to Georgia farmers and in port at Charleston for distribution tc South Carolina farmers. The 'Dania' is expected to arrive at Charleston about June 10th and will discharge her cargo at that port for distribution to South Carolina farmers. If these vessels all arrive safely without damage to their cargoes fhe distribution of this Nitrate to the States of North Carolina, South Carolina arid Georgia, together with the quantity already distributed to these states, will bring their deliveries up to approximately 45 per cent, of the quantity applied for. The aggregate quantity applied for by the farmers of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia is greater than the aggregate for all the other states in the country comomea, "The 'Redondo' has been assigned a second voyage. It is probable she will not reach this country earlier than June 20th," etc. "The distribution of nitrate by the county nitrate distributers has necessarily been made under very great difficulties. The allotment of nitrate to different sections of the counties and deliveries to farmers of parts of their requirements from the allotments made to counties from time to time has been no small task. The work was patriotically undertaken and so far as we know has been very efficiently handled," etc. The following message was wired to Chief Brand, of Washington, D. C., Monday, 10th instant: "Farmers want to know possibility ships 'Canoga' and 'Dania' arriving time for needs present crops, so they may know whether or not to buy other fertilizers for crop. Wire at once any information." In a few hours the same day the following answer came: " 'Congo,' 'Dania' and 'Canoga' ready for distribution in few days. 'Dania' just arrived Charleston an?v 'Canoga' due Charleston today or tomorrow." You will see that the 'Dania' cargo, intended for South Carolina farmers, has just arrived Charleston^ and part of cargo of 'Canoga' for South Cerolina farmers is due Charleston today (10th) or tomorrow (11th) and it seems that we ought to get this in Hmo fnr frnns Wft rinilhtlpss OOUld bJLUIW 1V& V* VfV* " -w - get it quicker if we could get a dozen 3r so of hands to go to Charleston and help discharge the cargo. On account lack of labor at ports distributions after arrivals are slow. We are getting by phone and wire all information possible in regards to possibilities of arrivals and deliveries. C. W. RENTZ, County Distributer. Liquor Sellers Caught. Saturday afternoon Chief of Police W. G. Kirkland rounded up a couple of blind tigers, and Monday morning they wer tried before the mayor and sent to the chain gang for thirty days each. They were Otis Holman and a negro named Glover. Each accused tbe other of liquor selling. Glover was arrested first, on information given by Holman. He was found to be in possession of two coca cola bottles full of mean liquor?of the home-made variety, to all appearances. He said he bought it from Holman, giving him $1.25 for it, and he also said Holman had sold him one drink of whiskey, charging him 50 cents for it. A raid was afterwards made on Ifolman's restaurant. The officers found three pistols on the premises and a quantity of cartridges, also evidence that whiskey had been sold. It is thought that the liquor was made hereabouts, and it is understood that the case will be .turned over to the federal authorities when the negroes have completed their term on the gang. . Calls 72 to Colors. The Local Board for Bamberg county has received a call for 72 selected men to be sent to the training camp at Camp Jackson the last of this month. The call includes 15 white men and 57 colored men. The movement of white men will begin on June 19th and the colored men on June 24. The board has not yet se lected the men for this can.

From all parts of South Carolina the smallest villages to the largest cities, come assurances of support and cooperation in the forthcoming W. S.

The South Carolina war savings committee in Charleston is daily receiving letters from men in all walks of life and the general tenor of the communications is the same?an intense u1 pan iuixoui n uavit v?rrv?.-^ to have been aroused to a high degree by President Wilson's appeal that by the close of June 28, there /shall be no person in the country unenlistec in the array savers. A fair sample of the letters being ~?ceived by the State committee it one written by Dr. S. P. Rentz, of this county. It is such an inspiring message that the State committee has made it public. The letter is as follows: "Director of War Savings, Charleston, S. C. "Dear Sir: I will sign a pledge tc i save and to buy war savings stamps, Liberty bonds, support the Red Cross ? or make any sacrifice until it hurts? and then continue to do so. The government is welcome to everything 1 make above a iscant support for my family. ?
