The club lists for the primary closed Tuesday. So far as can be learned the number enrolled is considerably short of the enrollment of two years ago. At Bamberg about 320 have been enrolled, against over 400 two years ago. The other clubs have not sent in their club lists as yet. v m in m SP* Capture Whiskey Still. Chief of Police W. G. Kirkland and Sheriff S. G. Ray captured a home made whiskey still on Wednesday of last week near Bamberg. The contraption was taken in charge by the officers and brought to town, and is now in the pessession of the sheriff. The outfit, a very crude affair, was located in a well hidden spot near the city, and at the tipie of its capture it was filled with "mash" and ready to be fired up. No arrests have been made. * This is the first still to be captured by the officers since prohibition went into effect in this county. The still has been viewed by quite a num ber of people, and it is quite a curiosity, and shows to what lengths people will go to get liquor. It is \ made from a five-gallon kerosene can, | with a* coil made of half-inch iron pipe, the curves being negotiated by means of short lengths of piping coupled together with elbows. The modus operandi, so the sheriff states, is to hang the can up by the handle, and put the coil in a tub of water. Then put a blow pipe under the can. fcV ^ When the steam rises, it is forced out through the coil, which is cooled by the water, solidifying the steam or vapor, and you have blind tiger liquor of some sort dripping out of the coil. Not having had any experience in ' - this sort of industry,, we regret we cannot give more full details. ^ < m? m Letter Prom "Over There." Mrs. H. J.

Naval Air Station, Queenstown, Ireland: "I am personally getting along fine and was never in better health and spirits. The work is coming along much to my liking and is beginning to show signs of the end. Presume I will be getting away to another field in about a couple of months; but at this time am unable to say where or when it will be. It would be a revelation to you to see what we have accomplished in this country. Starting with nothing but bare fields and La L a 1 1 a T** /> UrtTfA n/\?ra^*?11 A/^ A uaiicii lima w c nave v^uiidti ucicu suuic marvelous stations and are, I think, justly proud of what has been accomplished. You hear a great deal of German efficiency and rapidity in getting things done; but I feel quite sure that they have little on what we have accomplished here. I cannot tell what we have done in detail,\but I may say that it is scattered over several thousand square miles of territory and has been carried out without the least fuss and fuming and that probably not so much as a line about it all has appeared in the papers. "I travel almost continuously and visit every part of Ireland inspecting and laying out the work. At times 4- nil * V. n it id CALICUlCiJ tlililS, UUL an LUC while it is very interesting and makes one feel good to see the results coming in. It is very much like a small boy who begins with a box of blocks and gradually builds a castle. He likes to see it grow and when he finally finishes he feels that he is a wonder. That is pretty much the way with us who build. It is then for the other fellow to come and make djse of it. In a way I hate to leave it all and almost feel that I would like to stay and see what is done with what I have put in so much time building.But they need us elsewhere and I would go. "Have had some wonderful automobile trips in connection with my work and I Jcnow that you would have enjoyed taking them. However I am sick of the sight of a machine and get fearfully tired and bored with the tours. It isn't a sight seeing expedition by any means. Instead it is a case of rising before daylight and speeding at forty miles an hour through clouds of dust till night time to reach the next place. Then pore over blue print plans till midnight and tell the assistant on the job what to do. Snatch a bit of sleep ami repeat the dose next day. "A bit of added interest comes when some fellow with an enormous foundation to put in springs the query: 'Weil, what am I to do; the ship that was bringing my cement was torpedoed?' 'Go, find some suMJSWiiJijKJV is tne answer. Ana that is the way it goes on day in and day out. Ceaselessly pitting your wits and brains against those of the Hun. At times it appears that troubles will never end, but then comes the rift and everything is smooth sailing. At any rate everything has gone well and we are away head of schedule. "I see the papers every now and then and it is a genuine pleasure to know that the folks back home are taking the war seriously and that come what may they are in to stay to the finish. That the finish can be but one?in our favor?we have never doubted; but the recent reverses in France show that we have a determined and persistent foe to fight and I fear there will be many an anxious moment before we are counted, winners. - "Just at present we are having a touch of real wniter and have fires amine everywhere. That is not at all to my liking and I fear that I would never become accustomed to Irish climate. I am not a cold blooded animal, and yearn for the warmth and sunshine of the South. I fear that I passed too many days in the tropics ever to become accustomed to cold weather. "There is nothing, thank you, that I need. I understand the difficulties in sending things here and quite appreciate your desire to attend to my wants. However, I am well fixed and in need of nothing more than The Bamberg Herald and frequent letters from each and all of you." Under date of June 24th, Lieut. Copeland writes in part: wave Deen pretty muca on tne jump of late continuing my trips of inspection; but have managed to meet some very pleasant people which served to pass away a few hours that otherwise would have been pretty dull. Sunday a week ago I had lunch at Rostellan Castle, a very ancient place, it having been commenced in 1000 A. D. The present owner is a wealthy Englishman who was for years a member of parliament. He and his wife alone occupy the enormous castle, which they keep in wonderful shape. I can't say that I would like to live there, as it is miles and miles from anywhere and about as inaccessible as could be possible.

For the past eight-or ten days Headmaster J. C. Guilds, of Carlisle school, and Dr. H. N. Snyder, of Spartanburg, have been working to secure representation for Carlisle school at the officers' training camp, Plattsburg, N. Y. The plan of the government is to accept delegations at this camp from the schools and colleges of the country, give them a course in military training, and send them back this fall to train the students in their respective schools. The Carlisle authorities are delighte'd that the government has given recognition to our school here and that she will he represented by a group of splendid young men. This will put the military training of Carlisle next winter under government regulations and supervision, which assures the young men who expect to attend Carlisle the best military advantages obtainable in preparatory schools. The following have been detailed to represent Carlisle. They are directed to report at Plattsburg Saturday morning: Representing the faculty, Prof. W. C. Duncan, Laurens. Students: George Hawkins, Hartsville; Watson Luther, Columbia; Ma.rion McCants, Cameron; Fletcher Kirkland, Bamberg; Chevis Prosser, Johnsonville; Chevier Pace, Eulonia; Hesse Rast, Holly Hill; Dewey Reynolds, Paxville; Fred Stevens, Monck's Corner; George Youmans, Cottageville. Under the government plan, Carlisle is entitled to three others, but up to this writing these had not been selected. The camp will run until September 16, giving the men just time to get back for the opening of school on the 18th. ? m ? Send Money Instead of Merchandise. The original order that the approval of a regimental or higher commander was necessary bsfore pack - - - t- ? _ ? ages mignt be sent to memoers 01 the expeditionary forces has been modified so officers with the rank of major and higher may approve shipments. The approval of a company commander is not sufficient. The question of the shipment of parcels to France first came to the attention of the war department when the commanding general of the expeditionary forces cabled that congestion of such articles had reached such a point that French railroads were unable to handle the load. A board appointed by the secretary of war and the postmaster general examined 5,000 sacks of p^rcelpost mail, and found that the articles being sent, not only in the main, were absolutely unnecessary, but undesirable. The investigation showed that the amount of such mail had reached a total of 500,000 pounds a week, and was steadily increasing. Relatives and irienas, accoramgLu a recent statement by the war department, will find they often can do a greater service to soldiers by sending them money for the purchase of articles in France than by forwarding the articles. Tobacco is now being supplied as part of the army rations, and merchandise of nearly all kinds may now be purchased in France through the high general store established by the quartermaster corps at lower prices than charged by retailers here. Ready for It All. Douglas Fairbanks told the other day a Christmas story. "A poor chap from the country," he said, "took his best girl to a fashionable Broadway restaurant for their Christmas dinner, and in his ignorance Committed gaucherie on gaucherie. The bill of fare was in French, and the chap pointed to an item on it i and said huskily: " 'We'll begin with that.' " 'Sorry, sir,' said the waiter, 'but the orchestra is playing that.' "Then the waiter handed him a napkin. The chap looked at it carefully, frowned, got up, spread it on his chair and sat on it. "The waiter, taking pity on him, said: " 'Will you have the table d'hote or a la carte, sir?' " ' Both,' said the chap, coughing. 'Both with plenty of gravy.' "?Boston Transcript. ^ i?

It is filled with interesting things and I know you would enjoy a visit to it.

Sunday last I lunched and dined with a family who possess a lovely modern place. They were quite charming." "Ye Serpents, Ye Generation of Vipers, How Can Ye Escape the Damnation of Hell." ~ ? All our business and domestic life has been upset; all our fond anticipations for the future of loved ones must now.be supplanted by the everpresent realization of their danger, their certain sufferings and their possible death; sorrow and anguish are everywhere, the nation is in turmoil, a land of peace has been suddenly transformed into a war machine; the daily toll of death grows, steadily longer and soon will be doubled and quadrupled and requadrupled; sorrow and breaking hearts are everywhere. And why all this suffering and sorrow, why these breaking hearts, why this awful toll of death and disease? Because Germany for the aggrandisement of its autocratic, despotic rulers, and for the wealth to come from looting the world, for years definitely planned to turn this peaceful world into a hell of woe. Coldbloodedly these murderers set about their plans for a war upon their neighbors, intending when they had been destroyed to push across the sea and cohquer America. They even planned the terms for exploiting Canada, which was to be one of the indemnities to be paid by England. The whole world has thus been turned into a mighty armed camp; millions have been killed and millions have been maimed; the blind, the armless, the legless will soon be in evidence all over our land as they are in England and France and Italy. Millions have died of hunger and 'hundreds of millions have felt the pinching power of an ever-decreasing food supply; hundreds of millions have for nearly four years lived in agony of heart as by day and by night their ears are ever strained for the dreaded word of the death of some loved one. For years our Allies endured horrors surpassing the wildest flight of Dante's imagination as he pictured the Inferno, and day after day, month after month, from their bleeding hearts went forth the never ceasing cry: "How long, O Lord, how long will America sleep on in fancied security?" And why have our Allies thus suffered and why must we now give our millions, the very flower of our civilization, to endure these sufferings and death in all its fearful battlefield forms? Because William, the accursed, and all Germany?not the military leaders, only, but all Germany?set out on a prearranged campaign to murder millions in order to enrich themselves by looting the world. These murderers, these looters, these outragers destroyed womanhood, slew hostages, shot down innocent civilians, to jprotect ithemselves from' the soldiers of the Allies placed women and children in advance of their fighting line, poisoned wells, spread disease germs, all for the purpose of making their predetermined plan of "frightfulness" their greatest weapon to make nations tremble before the very thought of arousing German hostility. And all this for their own personal enrichment and planned out for many years. At last, thank God, America is awake, and never again will it slumber until those who have created this hell on earth have paid the full penalty of their crimes. And Jesus said?

When luncheon time came Mrs. Robinson asked Willie Jones if he wouldn't stay. "No, thank you," said Willie, "I'd better go home. Mother will be expecting me."
