A Splendid Suggestion.
)
One of the best suggestions growing
out of the great war savings
meetings of last Thursday came at
Ehrhardt. when several parties said j
thay wanted to buy some stamps for;
some boy ''over there"?some Bam- j
be/g county boy now ir, the trenches \
' " in France. This is a splendid suggestion,
not only because it will show
the boys that we are thinking of
them, but will help to give them a
start when they come home, for we
*, must keep in mind that they have no
opportunity to make money now. We
would'be glad to see some stamps
purchased and set aside for every
boy whi has gone from Bamberg
county.

Want Men for SjHM'ial Training.
? The Local Board has received a call
for eight men from this county, four
white men and four colored, to enter
special training at the University of
South Carolina, and State Colored
college, at Orangeburg. These men
must have been graduates of a grammar
school, and must have some experience
along mechanical lines and
some aptitude for mechanical work.
Volunteers for this training will be
accepted up to June 21st. and after
that date if there are not sufficient
volunteers the Local Board will proceed
to select the eight men to be
drafted. This is an exceptional opportunity
for young men of the county,
and there should be no necessity
for the Local Board to have to draft
men for this training. Qualified
young men will be doing themselves
an injustice if they fail to see the
Local Board at once and investigate
this opportunity.
(JEXEROl'S RESPONSE MADE.
1'ounty Subscribed $170,000 for War
Stamps Thursday.
That Bamberg county will come
out successfully in the war savings
stamp campaign now appears certain.
The campaign' was opened under the
most favorable conditions last Thursdajaf^when
three meetings were held
in the county. Before eight-thirty
Thursday night more than $170,000
in war savings stamps had been purchased
and pledged, putting the county
over the amount asked at this
time. However, as the committee
decided on previously, the effort is
to be made to have the full quota
bought or pledged during this campaign,
which means that approxii?otolv
flAl'l Tvirkro ic trv lio hrtllP'llt
y w ? v v v 111 vi v * v *?> vw ^ v v. v
or pledged by Jhne 28th.
The meetings were enthusiastic
and full df patriotism. The Ehrhardt
meeting was held at 11:00 in
the morning, the Denmark meeting
at 3:00 in the afternoon, and the day
was closed at Bamberg in tfie late
afternoon. Mr. X. G. Evans, of Edgefield,
was the speaker at all three
of the meetings, and Mr. J. C. Guilds
conducted the solicitation.
The navy yard band from Charleston
gave concerts at each of these
points, and.added greatly to the patriotic
enthusiasm of the occasion.
At the conclusion of the "address
at Ehrhajdt, subscriptions were called
for by Mr. Guilds. Twenty-seven
thousand dollars was pledged by
limit members, and before the meeting
broke up the total had gone up to
about $55,00(1. Denmark pledged
and bought approximately $40,000
at the meeting, and Bamberg exceeded
?70,000. -v
The soliciting committee at Bamberg
met Monday afternoon and organized
for business. Every man,
woman and child is to be given the
opportunity of assisting the government
by means of saving and investing
in war stamps. These committees
are now at work, but no report has
been made on their canvass as yet.
After the rote sting Thursday Mr.
Guilds, who is chairman of the campaign
in this county* telegraphed
Hon. R. G. Rhett the results of the
day's work, which really put Bamberg
beyond the quota for the month,
but which does not mean that the
campaign is over. Mr. Rhett wired
Mr. Guilds back as follows:
Charleston, S. C., June 14, 191S.
J. C. Guilds, Bamberg, S...C.
Hearty congratulations to people
of Bamberg county on being first to
pass June allotment; also to yourself
and associates for your splendid
work. One of the flags, at least,
seems to be fluttering towards you,
but you have many competitors to
watch. What's the matter with your
adding to your laurels by being the
first county to secure the government
allotment of three hundred and eighty
thousand? RH^TT.
To The People of Bamberg County.
I am su^ that every person in
Bamberg county must feel proud of
the record that the county has made
in the war savings drive. We are,
without question, the first county irt
South Carolina to go "over the top"
on our Ojuota for the June drive, and
we may be the first in the United
States. At any rate, by dark on the
day before the campaign was scheduled
to officially open our June quota
of $1 60,000, was oversubscribed. As
county chairman, I want to thank
all who made this possible?the band
of splendid fellows who came from
the navy yard, the earnest speaker,
the faithful local committees, and
everybody. It was indeed a great
day for Bamberg county! And yet
as patriotic people who love our
country and the cause for which, she
is fighting, who love the hoys <frho
have gone from among us and want
to see that they have the best of
everything, what else could we have
done?
Now, 7 feel that there may be one
danger of which I ought to warn you:
Let us not feel for one moment that
because our June quota is pledged
that our work is done. Let us keep
in mind that we set out to secure
practically all of our year's quota,
$380,000, and that there is much yet
to be done. Our people are responding
nobly and if this matter is presented
faithfully to them T have the
faith that our county will pledge the
year's allotment before this campaign
is over. The government's
aim in this matter, after all, is to
give every person an opportunity to
pledge, by saving and investing, to
help win the war. We want to get
every person in the county, so far as
possible, to comply with the wishes
of our great president and make this
pledge to their government before
June 28th. Let us bear in
mind that when our boys go "over
the top" their real fighting has just
begun, and so now that our county
has gone "over the top" on the June
quota, the real work is not over but
has just begun.
I want'to call your attention to the
three flags being offered by the State
War Savings Committee: One to the
county securing the largest percent|
age of its June quota: one to the
The Express Office Matter.
i The local committee in charge of
the matter of the removal of the express
office have received a letter
Crom the Railroad Commission, together
with a copy of a letter from
the Commission to the general superintendent
of the Southern railway,
which are self-explanatory.
It may be stated that the express
company has arranged for the store
formerly occupied by Blatt & Still
as an automobile sales room, on .Main
street, and it is understood that the
office will be moved immediately.
! The letter to the local committee follows:
"Referring to previous correspondence
relative to express office at
Bamberg, S. C.
"The Commission has been urgent
in its demands for the relocation of
express office at'Bamberg without
vundue delay. We are informed byN
both Supt. W. F. Terrell and Division
Agent S. J. Park that the agency
was separated on May 17th, in accordance
with Commission's order,
and the business handled temporarilv
in Southern railway station; that
they were disappointed in securing
the location first agreed upon, but
that they are now improving a building
on the main street of Bamberg,
at which place they propose to establish
the new express office. Please
inform the Commission if the location
selected by the Express company
is satisfactory to the citizens of Bamberg."
Following is a copy of letter from
the commission to the Southern railway:
"The Commision has been petitioned
some weeks ago by the citizens of
Bamberg, S. C., for establishment
of regular telegraph office at that
point in your passenger depot, instead
of in the freight depot where
it is at present. The Commission has
visited Bamberg, investigated this
matter along with others, and is of
the decided opinion that the petition- j
ers are right and that the proper
place for the telegraph office is in
your passenger depot. This, as of
course you know, is practically the
universal custom, and why the telegraph
office should ever have been
placed in the freight depot at Bamberg
the Commission is at a loss to
understand. As you are aware, there
are several tracks between the passenger
and freight depots, over which
I tracks trains are constantly passing,
! and for a person to have to cross
these tracks for the purpose of sending
Western Union Telegraph messages
entails danger of the loss of life
or limb that is inexcusable as w*e see
it. Therefore we direct that you
take steps to make the necessary
change and establish telegraph office
in your passenger depot at Bamberg,

Red Cross News Notes.
Every soldier who goes to the
| trnches carries a comfort kit. These
things make the soldier remember
that the people are behind him. Every
Red Cross chapter in the country
is required to make some and
the following directions are given:
Fold the material in the center of
the 27-inch length and sew it up
into a simple bag with an inch and
a half hem at the top, through which
is the double draw string. ' This
makes a bag 12 by 8 inches. A housewife
goes along with the kit, too. This
is made of a light weight material.
Quantities required: One strip of
material 5 1-4 inches by 12 inches
for roll; two pieces of flannel, 3 inches
by 4 inches, and 21 inches of tape.
Size when finished, 4 inches by 6 1-2
inches (unrolled.)
In view of the fact that our surgical
dressing class will soon begin
work, it is urged that those who are
[.going to attend _this class get their
uniforms ready and the following
directions are given: A large white
apron, fastening in the back, with
sleeves to the wrist and a V or square
neck. Belt three inches wide; two
pockets in the skirt. A red cross,
two inches square, may be worn in
front at the center of the base or tnei
neck. It is hoped quite a number of
the ladies will join this class. Two
hours per week is required and as
much more as one feels like giving.
A veil has to be worn, too. About
one yard of batiste or some material
one yard long and one yard wide,
with a lower hem one inch broad
and a hem at the top two inches
broad turned back on the outside. A
red cross is worn in the center of
the forehead band. The approximate
cost of the apron and veil is $1.2-".
We need socks and need them badly,
but again we want to impress upon
the knitters to be a bit more careful
to have them exactly as directed.
Do away with the knots ahd remember
the proper dimensions here given:
Foot from edge to heel and toe,
11 to 12 inches long: four inches
w'de at instep: leg from bottom of
heel. 14 inches long, and four inches
wide.?Contrihnt^|.

number of pledges: one to

cash sales during the
drive. }lr. Rhett says that one of
them seems to be fluttering our way,
but warns us that we have many competitors
to watch. We cannot know
until the final count is in. Let us.
therefore, not be over-confident, but
work all the harder. What do you
think of taking all three in Bamberg
county? J. CALDWELL GUILDS,
County Chairman.
TWO CONTINGENTS CALLED.
Fifty-seven Colored and 15 White

The people of Bamberg county wei*
delighted to have the navy yard band
in the county last Thursday. That
the band contributed very largely to I
the success of the day's work there is |
no doubt. They are a jolly, fine set
very great pleasure in visiting this
county. They expressed the desire
to again visit the county. The band
master, Mr. Vorella, said he had never
seen money roll up so fast and so
liberally in his life. The members

Cotton Marketing Association.
Steps were taken Tuesday looking
to tiie permanent organization of the
cotton farmers of Bamberg county.
The names of quite a number of
prominent planters were secured as
charter members, and it is believed
that the number will grow. The local
organization will become a part
of the South Carolina Cotton Marketing
association.
The meeting was called by the
State warehouse commissioner, Capt.
\V. G. Smith, of Orangeburg. Mr. T.
B. Thackston, of Spartanburg, was
the principal speaker. He presented
the purposes of the organization in a
most convincing manner. It is generally
conceded that to convince the
farmers of the necessity of organization
is a hard proposition, but after
listening to Mr. Thackston, who is
c ii i. _ _^ i A
one 01 uie nesi versea men 111 iuu
State, with cotton as his hobby, the
farmers present appeared to be thoroughly
convinced that they were
working against their best interests
when they allowed the manufacturers
and all others who are employed in
the handling and marketing of cot:on
goods to have their organizations;
vet, they, themselves, going along in
the same old rut, with no organization
whatever to look after their interests
or represent them when occasion
arises.
That such an organization as that
started Tuesday can be of untold
benefit there is not the slightest
doubt. The farmers are about the
only class of people in the world
who have not some sort of organization,
and that they are suffering from
the consequences of this lack of organization
was clearly pointed out
by the speakers at the meeting.

the South's great crop, which is now.
serving as food, clothing and war
material, and it is very important
that the crop be taken care of and
properly marketed and conserved.
Especially at the present time is an
organization needed for the reason
that a movement is on foot to fix a
price for cotton. The farmers
should be well represented at
the hearings on this matter when
it comes up for consideration. Mr.
Thackston expressed himself as being
in favor of such action, provided the
farmers are consulted, and a price
fixed in accordance with the cost of
production and a reasonable profit
added.
Friday is Merchants' Day.
Remember that Friday, June 21st.,
is merchants' day in Bamberg county.
The merchants have agreed to invest
their total cash sales for the day
in war savings stamps. Don't forget
this and plan to do your shopping
on that (Jay and pay cash. A flag is
offered to the county making the
largest proportionate cash sale of
stamps during the drive, a good way
to help win the flag is to make mer- .
chants' day really count by planing
to shop on that day. We can pile
%

Clerks to Invest Day's Salary.
Dr. C. A. Sanders last week started
a movement which bids fair to
be great aid to the war savings campaign.
The plan is for Ivery salesman
in the county to agree to invest ,
one day's salary in war savings
stamps during the campaign. Dr.
Sanders has already secured the cooperation
of most of the clerks in
Bamberg, and he hopes to see each
one during the present week. Tf any
are- inadvertently overlooked, it is
hoped that they will see Dr. Sanders
at Mack's Drug Store and sign the
agreement.. If this plan is followed
all over the county, it will add
materially to the cash sales of war
stamps during the drive.
