CfjePamterg^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 27. No. 42. Thursday, October 10, 1918. i | Our subscriber^are reminded that The Herald is now cash in advance, i This is government instructions, and The Herald does not intend to violate any government regulations. On October 5th about one hundred subscribers were taken off our lists be- J cause tliey had failed to renew their subscriptions when their time had expired. We disliked very much to do'this. Of course, nearly-all .of | them have either already come back into the fold or will do so, hut it will save a lot of trouble and confusion if - our subscribers will attend to this small matter ?of renewing their subscriptions before the time expires. We cannot agree to supply back issues, as we have signed an agreement with the government to cut our consumption of news paper to the lowest minimum, and we print just enough copies to supply tho?e on our mailing lists. If you don't want to miss any-copies of the paper, be sure to renew in advance before your subscription expires. There will be no peace from the negotiations started by Germany at tliis time. In his reply, President Wilson puts at rest all fears that any premature peace will be concluded. Of course it 'is the earnest wish of the American people to see peace concluded, yet it is to be re membered that ten millions lives have been given to crush Germany, and it would be sheer folly now to ihake peace simply in order to end ' the war. One might ask oneself what would Germany do if her armies were marching voctoriously to ? Paris or London or Washington? Does anyone think for a moment that she would halt her armies and declare an armistice or even talk peace? Now iq the supreme moment for the crushing blow. Germany deserves no quarter, and it is our sincere hope that none will be given. The end is j in sight; let us buy bonds and go to it, And the end will be reached wlien allied armies march into Ger. many. The best answer America can possibly give to Germany's so-called peace offer is a six-billion dollar liberty loan, oversubscribed. m ,,, m fcr . % 4 . We are rather surprised to note the attitude assumed by some of oujr good Jadies because Senators Benet and Smith deemed it their privilege to vote against woman suffrage. A number of articles have appeared in some of the daily newspapers reflecting on the sincerity and honesty of purpose of these gentlemen. We feel tliat it is a senator's privilege to vote against woman suffrage or any other matter without having to be villi fied for so doing. The position taken by Senator Benet is that he does not consider that the people of South Carolina desire woman suffrage, although Nwe have an idea that personally he favors it. That position is certainly above reproach, and we have no doubt that in taking this position, Senator Benet has the approval of a majority of the people of this State, including the good ladies. We do not , know the grounds of Senator /Smith's vote against the suffrage amendment, but presume he had good reasons for the stand he took. That there are -arguments in favor of woman suffrage no one doubts for a moment, but at the same time we do not think that suffrage ought to be bridled on to a State without its consent, and, without going into the \ pros or cons of the matter, we feel certain that the vast majority of South Carolinians know of many reasv ons why woman suffrage would be undesirable in this State. We shall " have to hear the voice of more wo' men raised in its favor before we ./ disapprove of the vote of our senators. RaihipHcvJIIa T,a/1 Win? in Air. * With American Army in France, Oct. 11.?The first American aviation pursuit squadron completed its one hundredth successive victory Thursday night with a "Boche strafing raid," which netted six machines. Of these Lieut. Edward Rickenhacker, of Columbus, Ohio, got two, bringing his official total to fifteen, with three more, which probably be confirmed soon. Lieut. Hamilton Coolidge, of Boston, Mass., and William Palmer, of Bennettsville, S. C., downed one between them; Lieut. James A. Meissner, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Lieut Ralph A. O'Neil, of Nogales, Ariz., and Lieut. Waters, one among themselves; Lieut. Reed M. Chambers, of Memphis, Tenn., and Lieut. Wilbert W. White, of New York, one each. How It Was Better. Lovemail had been playing for high stakes and had lost. After spending all he had on Miss Brass she had refused him. "Turned you down, did you say?" asked a friend. "Well, old chap, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." "Yes, better indeed," replied the rejected one. "Better for the postoffice authorities, the florist, the messenger-boy, he confectioner, a dozen waiters, the jeweler, and half the theatres in town."?Stray Stories. Caught Off Guard. + Vi ^ nnelmon lao va mv lottore i^iu kilC puotiiiou AVt* ? c *vvw*M, Mary." "Nothing but a postcard, ma'am." "Who is it from, Mary?" "And do you think I read it, ma'am?" asked the girl with an injured air. "Perhaps not. But anyone who sends me a message op a postcard is either stupid or impertinent." "You'll excuse me, ma'am, returned the girl liftily; "but that's a nice way to be talkin' about your own mother."?Boston Transcript. A dispatch from France tells us that a German mess sergeant, anticipating the imminent arrival of American troops, cut up a large cheese and made sandwiches of it, which he served with beer to the doughboys when | they came over the top.' This was a j German who may haye served an ap-! prenticeship at Coney Island. ? .i MASTER'S SALE. Pursuant to an order signed by His Honor, Judge W. H.
