Mr. {J. hi. JtsiacK is out un iub ^,v. ~?
again after a few days illness.
The friends of Dr. Robert Black
will learn with regret of his illness.
There has been a real touch of
winter in the atmosphere during the
past few days, ft was almost cold
enough for frost some'mornings.
There will he a meeting of the Colored
Council of Defense Monday evening
at 8 o'clock at the colored graded
school. All members of the council
are earnestly urged to be present.
Mr. D. O. Hunter, of the Hunter's
Chapel section, received notice last
Thursday of the safe arrival of his
son, Mr. Roy M. Hunter, everseas.
Ralph L. Lawrence, of Salley, Aiken
county, has been appointed by
^ Governor Manning to a scholarship to
the South Carolina Medical college.
Charleston, from the second congressional
district.
Congressman James F. Byrnes has
been named by Governor Manning as
a delegate from the second district
to the eleventh annual convention of
the Deeper Waterways association at
v - Boston Sept. 24th.
Mr. S. M. Goodwin, who for the
past year has ben operating the farm
of Dr. E. O. Watson near the city, has
purchased the farm of Mr. Jno. A.
Richardson, on Briar Creek, and will
farm this place next year.
> The Local Board has received a call
for eight white men to entrain for
Camp Greenleaf, Ga., about the 7th
, of October. Calls from other counties
follow: Barnwell, 10; Colleton,
10; Hampton, 6; Orangeburg, 1.
Letters received in the city last
week from Private Leighton Rentz
: state that he is enjoying good health
.and is getting some "fun" out of his
strvice at the front. Private Rentz
is with a division now in service near
Metz.
Jasper Sojourner, of Denmark, has
I been graduated from the training
I school at Plattsburg, N. Y., with the
^ rank of second lieutenant. Lieut.
Sojourner will be assigned to some
college for the purpose of training
the students, but he has not yet been
advised of his assignment.
Every night at eight o'clock the
electric lights of the town are shut
off for one minute, the purpose of
which is to remind the people to ofS/
fer during this time a silent prayer
for the success of our forces on the
battlefields and on the seas. Most
of the cities and towns of the coun- I
try have adopted this method of reminding
the people to remember our
boys-in prayer at a stated hour.
There was a marked improvement
last Sunday in the observance of the
request of the tuel administration
calling on the people to abstain from
the use of motor cars for pleasure
purposes on Sunday. There were not
nearly so many cars to be seen on the
'streets as usual. However, there
were more than there should have
been. Many cars, no doubt, were
cut for useful purposes, but there
were also some be'r.r; used for pleasure
rides, which is not in keeping
with the spirit of gasless Sundays.
Mr. S. M. Goodwin, who farms on
Dr. Watson's place near town, showed
us a sample last week of some syrup ;
made from ribbon cane or millet, i
The syrup had an excellent taste and ;
was quite palatable. Mr. Goodwin ;
says 11 1-2 gallons were made from .
two short rows. One advantage of 1
this kind of syrup is it can be made
a great deal earlier than cane syrup.
It is also more prolific and ribbon
cane can be grown on any soil.
It is usually planted for hogs; there- :
fore it can made to serve a two-fold
purpose.
Fruit Pits and Nutshells Wanted.
Mr W. D. Rhoads requests us to
ask the public to save up all pits from
peaches, prunes, olives, dates, cherries
and plums, and the shells of Brazil
nuts, walnuts, butternuts, hickory
nuts etc. These shells and pits are
wanted by the United States government
for the purpose of making gas
masks. It has been demonstrated
that these materia1- most serviceable
for this purpose, being absorbents
of poisonous gasses. Our people
will, therefore, be performing a
patriotic service to save them. Mr.
Rhoad says he will receive all such
and shells that mav be brought
to him and see that they are forwarded
to the proper destination. All
shells and pits should be thoroughly
dried before bringing them to Mr.
Rhoad.

A. M. DEN BOW CHAIRMAN.
A rrangements iieing; Made For the
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive.
Mr. A. ML Denbow, president of
the Peoples Bank, received notifiication
Tuesday of his appointment
as chairman for Bamberg county of
the campaign for the fourth liberty
loan. Owing to the lateness of Mr.
Denbow's appointment, it has oeen
impossible for him yet to perfect his
organization, but states that it will
be done with the greatest possible
speed, and he hopes to be able to get!
down to work on the drive within
the next few days.
Mr. Denbow's appointment was
made by the State chairman, Mr. E.
W. Robertson, through the recommendation
of the field worker for
this district, P. F. Henderson, Esq.,
of Aiken. He has been informed by
Mr. Henderson that a French army
officer will be available to visit Bamberg
next Tuesday, and Mr. Henderson
expects to come to Bamberg at
the same time. This meeting will
be held at the court iiouse next
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The pub"*
"? i-|\A nrACf nnf
lie is coraiany mvueu iu UC pi vot.ijii'. |
Those who heard Lieut. Pierret during
the Red Cross drive will certainly
want to hear another French officer.
Owing to some confusion or misunderstanding,
a chairman was not
appointed for Bamberg at the proper
time, and owing to this fact Mr.
Denbow asks for the cordial cooperation
of the public to get an qrganization
perfected at the very earliest
possible date.
Later.?Mr. Denbow stated to The'
Herald Wednesday that on account
of press of personal business, it would
be impossible for him to serve as
chairman, but that h? would cooperate
in any capacity possible for the
success of the campaign, and that
another chairman would be appointed
at once.

Death of Mrs. Susie Brown.
Mrs. Susie Brown died at her home
at Olar last Saturday at the age of
68 years. The remains were interred
Sunday at Bethesda Baptist church.
Revs. D. H. Owings, of Ehrhardt, and
Achille Sassard, of Olar, conducting
the services. Mrs. Brown was the
widow of the late Mr. James Brown,
who preceded her to the grave by
many years. She is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Ed. Kirkland, of Olar,
and by several brothers and sisters.
Before her marriage she was a Miss
Beard, daughter of Mrs. Mary Beard,
of Colston, who died a short time
ago. Mrs. Brown was an estimable
woman, and her death is deeply
grieved by a large circle of friends
and relatives. Mrs. Brown was a
member of the Baptist church.
Questionaires Mailed. j'
Questionaires have been mailed out
by the Local Board to all registrants
who registered on Sept. 12th between
the a^es of 19 and 36, inclusive.
Questionnaires to all other
registrants will not be mailed out at
nrospnt time. It is very im
portant that all registrants between
the ages named should know that
their questionnaires have been sent
them. If for any reason they do not
receive their questionnaires, it is
their duty to see about it at once.
In case of loss, another questionnaire
can be secured from the Local Board.
The time limit set for returning the
questionnaires is seven days from
the date of mailing, and it is very
important that they should be returned
seven days from the date they
were mailed to the registrants.

HKAVY LOSS BY FIRE.
Barn of J. \V. Stokes Burned.?Loss
Five Thousand Ikdlars.
Mr. J. W. Stokes was a heavy loser
by fire Monday, when his large barn
was completely destroyed, together
with all contents, involving a loss
conservatively estimated at $5,000.
About fifteen bales of cotton, baled
and in the seed, were burned in addition
to feedstuffs and farm implements.
The fire, when first seen by Mrs.
Stokes, had already made considerable
headway, and nothing could be
done to stay the progress of the
flames. The city fire department responded
to the alarm, but as the
waterworks do not extend that far,
no aid could be given, me origin
of the fire is not known, but evidently
it started in the cotton.
Fourteen bales of ginned cotton
were in the barn, and about one bale
in the seed. Several bales of the
baled cotton were rescued in a charred
condition, and it is possible that
a small portion of it can be salvaged.
The barn contained about 4,000
bundles of fodder, a large quantity
of corn, seed oats, cottonseed meal,
hay and other feeds, all of which
were completely burned. The barn
building was a substantial structure
and probably could not be replaced
for less than $1,000, if indeed it can
be replaced at all under present conditions.
The smokehouse, located a few feet
distant, was also burned. This building
contained a quantity of meat and
other foods, all of which were burned.
Practically all of Mr. Stokes's
form implements were burned. The
livestock was saved, and fortunately
none of the farm vehicles were in
the barn at the time.
A brisk wind was blowing in the
direction of' Mr. Stokes's residence,
and it seemed that nothing could
save the house from the flames. All
of the furniture and appliances of the
~ ,3 ? ^ tv r\ ?nmniro^ Hil + a frvrtll
i c?iucin;e v> c?c itmurvu, uui, ? ??
nate change in the wind saved the
house, although there was naturally
a heavy loss from the hasty removal
of the furniture and fixtures.
The loss is especially heavy, on
Mr. Stokes, as no insurance was carried
on any of the contents of the
barn, and practically none on the
building. The cotton itself involved
a loss approximating $3,000. Mr.
Stokes operates extensive farming
interests and possessed a great deal
of modern farming implements, all "
of which were housed in the barn.
lieath of Private Peter Carter.
Relatives of Private Peter Carter
last week received information of his
death in France, and notice of his
death was issued in the casualty list
printed in the daily newspapers last
Friday. Private Carter was a colored
draftee from Bamberg county, and
his home was at Govan. No details
of his death have been announced
other than that he died of disease
while in service at the front with the
American expeditionary forces.
Carlisle School Opens Session. _
Carlisle School opened its 19181919
session yesterday morning, with
the largest attendance in the history
"O
nf srhonl While the exact num
ber cannot yet be stated, as there ar6 r(
stil! more to arrive, it may be stated ^
that the enrollment this season will a
be far in excess of last yqar, which *(
was the record year of the school. 1?
The present session promises to be a s'
very bright one in the history of Car- 11
lisle.
As has already been stated, Car- "
lisle this year will be under strict w
military training. Permission has w
been granted the school to use a reguiation
army uniform this session,
with certain distinguishing marks. C(
Some weeks ago the school sent one e'
of the faculty, Prof. W. C. Duncan, 61
and nine of the students to Platts- ^
burg, N. Y., where they were given e
military training at the army train- **
ing camp. These young men return- n
ed to the city last week, and will as- a
j* *
sist in the training of the other stu- l<
dents. It is understood that ar- ^
rangements are being made to equip
the student body with regulation a
army rifles in the near future.
The faculty this year is as follows: b
J. Caldwell Guilds, headmaster; W.
C. Duncan, S. Ralph Shieder, Rev. *
Edward K. Garrison, Charles F.

A third primary election was held c
Tuesday for the purpose of nominat- s
ir.g a candidate for comptroller gen- ^
eral to succeed the late Carlton W. 1
Sawyer. Very little interest was *
manifested in the election, and the r
vote cast was very small. It is esti- c
mated that it cost the people of the =
State not less han $18,000 to $20,000 Q
to hold this primary, although the p
office only pays a salry of $1,900 e
