^ Mr. Herbert Folk, of route 1, Bamberg,
in renewing his subscription to
JThe Herald, says: "I consider The
Herald one of the best papers in the
U. S. A. I cannot do without it."
A luncheon will be served at the
Mayflower Inn on Friday at 12 o'clock
by the Bamberg committee to
the guests of honor, chairman, and
township chairmen of the woman's
liberty loan campaign.
On Tuesday H. M. Graham, Esq.,
sold a tract of land near Lees for
just a fraction less than $100 per
? acre. This plantation is fine land,
and contained 235 acres. Mr. J. S.
Walker, of Denmark, was the purchaser.
The woman's committee of the
fourth liberty loan campaign will
hold a rally at Carlisle auditorium
on October 4th, at 4 p. m. Several
prominent women are expected to address
this meeting. The public is
cordially invited.
The first purchaser of a liberty
bond of the fourth issue that has
been reported is the Berean men's
class of the Bamberg Baptist Sundayschool,
which voted last Sunday to
\ \ buy a $100 bond. It is understood
that the bond will be donated to some
J
phase of churcn or sunaay-suuuui
work.
Cotton ginned in Bamberg county

Mr. W. D. Rhoad, general treasurer

requests all the local committees of
this county to forward him at once
complete lists of all subscribers who
have failed to redeem their pledges
made during the campaign. As soon
as these lists are received, Mr. Rhoad
v desires to have them published for
the information of the public.
The Work or Fight Programme.
Wr.
< The country is fast getting on an
absolute war basis. Last week great
consternation abounded when many
of the local merchants and business
men received cards from the Local
Bbard ordering them to appear to
give information. Those who did not
happen to know just what was up felt
a little bit uneasy, for that was "guvment
business." However, when they
went before the board it was ascer
tained that what tne Doara was aiter
was information instead of wanting
to induct them immediately into the
army.
The business houses were required
to furnish information as to their
! assistants,, clerks, and%all other help.
i'-.% They had to state whether or not
such help was essential to the conduct
of the business, and whether or not
the labor performed by the clerks
and other help can bq done by female
labor. As to just what is to be
done is not very clear at this time,
!".y
but the board secured in the form
of affidavits all the necessary information,
and are in position to act
upon it when called upon.

Chairman Wiggins Calls on County
to Subscribe its Quota.
Treasurer McAdoo has called upon
the American people to lend their
savings and surplus money to the
government to carry on the great
war to a successful conclusion.
The call is paramount, urgent, and
absolutely necessary. The people of
Bamberg county will have a vital
part in the floating of the six billion
dollar loan. We must back up the
right and the might of President
Wilson and General Pershing with
the dollars of Democracy in order
that the German people may feel to
the utmost the force of America's supreme
effort.
The hour has struck. It may be the
hour in which the beginning of the
final battle is staged. We MUST not
hesitate. Let is answer speedily with
dollar emphasis the call of the na
tion. Let us work unceasingly for
the next three weeks for the full
quota from Bamberg county.
Your chairman, after conferences
with the leading citizens from all
sections of the county, begs to name
the following committees, and at the
same time bid them God speed as
they undertake the tremendous task.
Every citizen is celled upon to
work as he has never worked before.
The glory of ^America must forever
abide in the Democratic bosom of
her citizenship.
The American soldier must do or
die. The American citizenship must
go and buy. Yours for the fourth
liberty loan. J. ARTHUR WIGGINS,
County Chairman.

Liberty Loan Meeting.
A meeting in the interest of the
fourth liberty loan campaign in Bamberg

auditorium Tuesday evening, attended
by a fairly good sized crowd. Addresses
were made by Sergeant Miller,
an instructor at Camp Jackson, P. F.
Henderson, Esq., district field worker,
and J. Arthur Wiggins, local county
chairman.
The meeting was presided over by
J. F. Carter, Esq., and there was
much interest manifested. The addresses
were short and intereting.
The remarks of Sergeant Miller were
full of interest, he having visited the
battlefields of Europe. It was a matter
nf ffpn^rai rp?rpt that. Lieut. Pace.
the French officer who was to have
been present, could not be here, he
being at this time under quarantine
on account of influenza in the camp.

DRAFT CALL WAITS.
Washington, Sept. 26.?Because of
the epidemic of Spanish influenza in
army camps, Provost Marshal Crowder
tonight cancelled calls for the
entrainment between October 7 and
11th of 142,000 draft registrants.
During the 24 hours ending at
noon today, 6,139 new cases of influenza
in army camps had been reported
to the office of the surgeon
general of the army. One hundred
and seventy deaths, resulting chiefly
from pneumonia following influenza,
also was reported.

Boll Weevil in Bamberg?
What is believed to be a cotton
boll weevil was discovered in Bamberg
Sunday. Mr. Frank Folk was
reading in a daily newspaper of the
boll weevil being at Allendale, when
an insect lighted on his paper. The
"bug" so closely resembled descriptions
of the boll weevil that Mr.
Folk captured it showed it to some
parties abo.ut town, including Mr. F.
E. Floyd, county demonstrator, who
compared it with weevils he has in alcohol.
The two specimens appeared
to be identically the same. Mr.
Floyd immediately dispatched the
ennnnsed wppvil to the authorities at
..WW. WW
Clemson College for further examination.
The result of this examination
has not yet been announced.
Other insects closely resembling
boll weevils have been seen in the vicinity
of Bamberg also, and it is believed
that the cotton terror has arrived.
If this is true, Mr. Floyd says
that changes will have to be made
in the mode of farming at least a year
earlier than anticipated, for the weevil
was not expected in this county
for some time yet."
The presence of the weevil has
officially been reported at Allendale,
in Barnwell county, and even if it has
not yet arrived in Bamberg, it will
be only a matter of months before
it gets here. It would seem to be
wise to take the necessary precautions
at once, as it is well known that
boll weevils devastate cotton fields,
and reduce the yield to almost nothing.
Fine fields of cotton in infested
areas frequently yield no more than
100 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre.

as chairman in Bamberg county
for the fourth liberty loan campaign.
In . the appointment of Mr. Wiggins,
a wise choice has been made. He
is one of the county's staunchest citizens,
a man of ability and an indefatigable
worker. Following is a copy
of Mr. Wiggins's commission:
"Treasury Department, Washington.

"By direction of the secretary of
the treasury, J. Arthur Wiggins is
hereby appointed to serve as chairman
of the fourth liberty loan campaign

A. R. C. News Notes.
A meeting of the Bamberg chapter
of the A. R. C. was held Monday
afternoon, at which a number of matters
of importance were discussed.
Mrs. Elise B. Walker wa47appointed
chairman of a committee to arrange a
linen shower. Prof. E. P. Allen was
elected chairman of the conservation
committee. All chapter members are
asked tn cooDerate in the gathering
of fruit pits and nut shells, tinfoil,
etc., and turn same over to Prof. Allen.
Mrs. J. B. Hunter was elected
chairman of the packing committee.
It was decided that the chapter
should secure the services of some
one from the chapter to go into training
for home service. It is hoped
that some one will volunteer for this
training. The home service will
mean a great deal to the community,
looking after the sick and unfortunate,
and any others who need assistance.
lied Cross Subscriptions.
W. E. Free, Esq., local treasurer of
the Red Cross campaign fund, asks
that we state that next week h? will
have ready for publication a complete
list of Red Cross subscribers who
have not paid their pledges, and to
further state that those who have
not paid can see him at once and
make good their pledges.
On account of the lack of neces?nrv
timp. after the first of October,
it has not been possible for Mr. Free
to complete this list in time for publication
this week. October 1st was
the last date upon which to pay
pledges to the Red Cross fund, but inasmuch
as Mr. Free cannot publish
the list this week, delinquent subscribers
have a few more days of
grace. Inasmuch as most of those
who have not paid have failed-to do
so because of neglect, this will be a
splendid opportunity for them tc
make good their pledges, and The
Herald adds its urgency to that of
Mr. Free for all subscribers to al
once see him and give him a check
to cover their pledges.
