Albert Curry, convicted of murder
and sentenced to life imprisonment
at the November, 1908, term of
court in Bamberg, has been paroled
during good behavior by Governor
Richard I. Manning.
The Democratic executive committee
of this county met last week
and fixed the assessments of the can/
didates for various offices and named
the places at which campaign meethoiri
notice of which may

be found in another column of this
issue of The Herald.
The July term of court will convene
in Bamberg next Monday morning
with Judge Hayne F. Rice, of
Aiken, presiding. Only equity business
will be heard at this term, and
no jury has been drawn. Last summer
the term lasted about one hour.
There is very little business for the
coming term to dispose of.
As a result of a oollision, Joe
Mitchum, a negro, was painfully in\
jured Monday. Mitchum was riding
a horse which collided with the
heavy truck of Mr. E. W. Watson
loaded with several poplar logs. The
front wheel of the truck ran over
the negro's leg, severely bruising it.
The horse was injured slightly.
Questionnaires were mailed out
last week to the young men who registered
in the registration on June
5th. The order numbers were drawn
in Washington last Thursday. The
\ new registrants will be classified the
same as those of last year, but it is
stated that practically all of the
new registrants will come under
class one, as very few of them are
married or have dependents.
Mr. J. Carl Kearse writes: "I al1
ways enjoy reacting your paper aim
especially so since I am so far away.
As you know I am stationed at the
U. S. proving grounds here in Maryland.
This is where all the guns
ammunition, fighting implements,
etc., are tested before they are sent
abroad. I am assigned to the legal
section, so don't get very much actual
experience in the testing. However,
my office is located so near the
firing line that I have a very good
idea of how a real battle must
f ' sound."

CAN DELIVER YEAR'S SUPPLY.
Congressman Byrnes Secures Modilication
of Wlieat Order.
The matter of grinding the farmers'
wheat in Bamberg county has
been one of much concern this season.
Since the government took
charge of the flour output regulations
were issued curtailing the amount
ofwheat delivered by flour mills These
regulations were issued for the purpose
of restricting jthe .flour sold
bv the large milling concerns, but the
orders affected the small mills as
well. The local mill, which grinds
exclusively for'farmers on a toll basis,
found itself confronted by the
situation of being unable to deliver
flour except in very small lots, and
inasmuch as the mill here operates
only a few months during the summer,
it would have been impossible
to handle the crop in this county on
the basis of the regulations.
Many complaints were registered
with the food authorities and others.
A few days ago The Herald took this
matter up with Congressman James
F. Byrnes, stating the exact conditions
that existed in Bamberg county
and with the local flour mill. Mr.
Byrnes replied by wire that he had
had made representations that day to
the food administration, and as a
result of his conference with the
food authorities, the food administration
immediately issued an order to
allow mills to grind and deliver a
supply of flour to farmers for twelve
months, based on twelve pounds of
flour per month for every person de
pendent upon the farmer, including
his own family and the families of
his tenants or others dependent upon
him.
This modification of the regulations
secured by Mr. Byrnes solves
the situation in a very happy manner,
and the farmers may now have their
wheat ground. Below are reproduced
the letter from Mr. Byrnes denying
the report that Georgia mills have
been allowed privileges not allowed
to South Carolina mills; and a letter
written by Mr. Byrnes to Capt. W. S.
Bamberg, which sets forth clearly
the new order and the reasons for its
issuance.
Washington, D. C., June 27, 1918.
Bamberg Herald, Bamberg, S. C.
I am enclosing copy of letter I have
!this day written to Capt. W. S. Bamberg,
and which explains itself. There
was absolutely no justification for the
statements that the State of Georgia
was given any privilege not granted
to South Carolina. The millers at
Bamberg simply misunderstood the
instructions. At any rate I am satisfied
I have succeeded in straightennr

With kindest personal regards, I

? Washington, D. C., June 27, 1918.
Capt. W. S. Bamberg, Bamberg, S. C.
My Dear Capt.:?Replying to your
letter. There has evidently been a
misunderstanding on the pjirt of
those who are in charge off flour
mills in Bamberg county. The Food
Administrator issued order placing
restriction upon the supply of wheat
flour that could be withdrawn from
mills, which restriction applied to
the whole country. They do not prohibit
or limit the amount of wheat
that can be ground by a mill, but they
do prohibit the delivery by the mill
to the farmer of a supply greater
than that specified in the order.
Upon complaint of people in Bamberg
I took this matter up with the
Food Administrator, Mr. Hoover, and
he stated that while all other people
were to be denied the privilege of
having on hand a large supply of
flour, he recognized that exception
had to be made in behalf of Southern
farmers, and last year placed no restrictions
upon them. As a result he
said in many cases farmers had supplies
exceeding their demand, and
sold flour without regard , to the restrictions
placed upon merchants, and
.demoralized the service in' some localities
in the South. He therefore
issued an order which permitted a
mill to grind all of the wheat offered
by a farmer, but did not allow a
farmer to withdraw a supply greater
than that set forth in the order.
Upon my presentation to him of the
difficulties we had encountered in in
ducing farmers to grow wheat at all,
he took the matter up with the officials
in charge of the wheat division,
and on Friday last sent to the food
administrators of the South a telegram
revoking the thirty-day order,
and authorizing the mills to deliver
to farmers a supply sufficient to last
until October first, based on twelve
pounds per person per month, which
is in excess of the average consumption.
Upon receipt of your presenting
the altitude of the farmer and other
letters from Bamberg along the same
line, I had a conference with Mr.
Hoover this morning and told him the
difficulty was that if a mill ground
all of the wheat offered by a farmer,
and then could not deliver a supply
ior a longer ume man iniee mourns,
that because of the absence of warehouse
facilities in which to store the
flour of the different farmers who patronize
the mills, the mills would simply
quit business entirely. I urged
him to let them deliver a year's supply?assuring
him that the farmers,
appreciating the exception made in
their case, would patriotically comply
with the regulations of the food
administration as to the amount of
flour they should use per month. He
granted my request and telegraphed
to the State food administratars of
the Southern States instructing them
to advise couny agents to permit the
mills to deliver to a farmer a year's
supply, based upon 12 pounds perl
month for every person dependent up- j
on him, including tenants. In jus-'
Civic League Meeting.
The reguiar monthly meeting of ;
the Civic league was held with the
president, .Miss Alma Black, on Friday
evening. At the meeting several
important topics were discussed.
Among the most interesting to note
was the plan to have a director appointed
to take charge of the play
! ground for the children. During vacation
children are restless and have
no place to play. The league has
equipped a nice ground and having
some one to supervise it, the children
will enjoy it more and form a habit
of going there for recreation. We
are strongly urged to care for the
children, to provide them with abund
ant and decent recreation, that as a
nation we will be richly repaid tor
so doing. Every community should
devote means for ample grounds for
the development of strong and happy
children. We are to look to them
for our future, therefore it's important
to develop their bodies to have
strong men and women. The children
of the poor and rich alike have
the same instincts for play; so why
not have them properly cultivated?
Streets are no place for children to
play, neither physically, morally, nor
spiritually. Let us realize the necessity
of caring for the children of our
town now, and every parent cooperate
in making the children better by
aiding in some way the play ground.
The league needs the cooperation of
all and will appreciate any assistance
in any way to help in bettering
our town in an aesthetic and moral
sense.
Reunion Company G.
The reunion of Company G. will
be held at Bethesda church on August
8, 1918. The date of meeting
was changed on account of revival
meetings. Everybody invited and
urged to come with well filled baskets.
Every Confederate veteran
will be expected at this meeting.
We are expecting good speakers
and a good time. Mr. G. W. Folk
will have charge of the singing and
we expect good music. J. R. Morris.

Seventy-Five More Called.
The Local Board for Bamberg
county has receded a cali for seventy-five
more registrants to be sent
to the training camp. This call is
for selectmen to entrain on July 15th
and 16th, and will be composed of
five white men and seventy negroes.
This contingent will be the largest
sent by this county since the big
contingent of last February.
Monday morning eight young men,
four white and four colored, left
t-? 1 *? ?i '
r>amut;rg iui spcuiai muusu iat li aiding,
the white men going to the
South Carolina University and the
colored men to the State ..Colored college
at Orangeburg. The white men
were: Frank Kirkland, Bamberg; C.
M. Cbitty, Olar; G. M. Kearse, Bamberg,
and Elvyn Kearse, Olar. The
colored men were: Prime Young,
Denmark; Horance Reed, Denmark;
A. C. Kee, Denmark, and John Moorer,
Denmark."
tification of his telegram he cited the
food administrators of the South to
the condition in Bamberg county, and
urged them to encourage the construction
of mills and warehouses so
as to take care of the situation.
With reference to your statement
that you were informed that farmers
of Georgia were allowed to grind
wheat without any limit: This is true,
just as it was true in South Carolina
and every other State. There
was no restriction upon a mill at Bamberg
grinding a supply for a farmer,
but neither the Bamberg mill nor the
Georgia mill could deliver more than
thirty days' supply. So that while
this statement was correct, it at the
same time was deceiving. The department
can issue only a general order.
Therefore, when as a result of
my efforts in behalf of the Bamberg
fo fho o^miniotrQtnr u*Qc pati
iai o nig auiiiiiiAuv^MWA T>
vinced there should be some modification,
he sent a telegram, a copy of
which your county administrator has,
addressed to the administrator of
Georgia, as well as other States, modifying
the order so as to permit the
mills to deliver three months supply.
For this service I have been thanked
by Georgians, who benefited as did
cur own people.
As a result of my efforts this morning
a telegram was sent not only to
Elliott, food administrator for South
Carolina, but to the food administrator
of Georgia and every other Southern
State modifying the order and
granting the mills permission to deliver
a twelve months supply. I have
no doubt that the people of Georgia
will also appreciate this, but I have
long since realized the truth of the
statement that "no prophet is without
honor save in his own country."
The fact is that the farmers of Bamberg
county bv taking this matter
up with me have succeeded not only
in helping themselves, but in helping
the farmers of Georgia as well as
those of every other Southern State.
Your letter clearly presented your
l case and I wish to thank you for writing
me. and assure you that if at any
time I can serve you I shall be glad
to do so. With kindest personal regards.
I am sincerely yours,
JAMES F. BYRNES.

would take too much money to bu;

! Having received numerous inquiries i
as'1 to whether or not I shall stand!

, \ brief statement.
' [ While fully appreciating the
>> I confidence expressed by innumere
able requests which have come
l to me urging that I offer my
. services for a third term, circum|
stances compel me to say that I shall
f not stand for reelection at this time,
s I I deem it unnecessary to enter into;
n (explanation of the reasons why. ij
. will state, however, that I have reacned
this conclusion alter some con'
i sideration and hesitancy, for 1 reals
i ize that, as a loyal citizen, one should i
0 not turn a deaf ear to the call of the
people for public services. Although
L', recognizing this and the duty one

I must not overlook the duty he owes
i as well to his home and those depen^
! dent upon him. And, as a further
i reason, I might mention that, since
a j our country has been engaged in this
1 mighty conflict, I, as well as my part
ner in business, have given a great
deal of time in answering the calls
of our government, and I shall continue
to give a great deal more as
other calls come?and which are sure
to come?to tnose 01 us wno nave
not yet been assigned to posts in the

that by thus serving my government
I shall at the same time render to
you a better service that I might by
representing you in our State Legislature
during the next two years.
Permit me to say further, I appreciate
more than I can tell you and
shall ever feel grateful unto you for
the confidence you have expressed
and the honor you have conferred upon
me by twice electing me as your
representative?and by a vote for
which any one might justly feel
proud. As the best evidence of my 'i
appreciation, I discharged the trust
to the best of my ability; served you
honestly, faithfully and conservatively.
I have every reason to believe
that your confidence in me has not ^
been shaken, and.I express the hope
that the opportunity may come, and
I may be permitted, to render a greater
