" Today is a mighty fine time to buy war savings stamps. They cost $4.21 ^ach today; tomorrow the price will be $4.22. In a large purchase this - one cent counts up rapidly. There are a great many pledges to buy j stamps in October. Let everybody; who pledged be certain to buy, and if you did not pledge, go and buy stamps anyway. The county's total; so far is something like $115,000 to $120,000, which is a long way from $370,000, our allotment. Bamberg | has not fallen down yet; but unless there is some mighty stiff buying of stamps during the next two months,; .we are going to have one failure to our discredit. The Old Hickory division?the . 30th?is the body of Americans who first broke the Hindenburg line on the Western front. This is a source i of great pride and satisfaction to quite a number of Bamberg families, . who have sons or brothers in this di^ vision.' Claud Smoak, Leighton Rentz, William Hutto, and possibly many others from Bamberg and vicinity are sharing in the glory of this division, which is made up of national guardsmen from the States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten-1 nessee. South Carolina has taken a ! leading part in every great movement in the history of America, and j she has done so in this war, for the Old Hickory division has won the un-, stinted praise of Gen. Foch and other great generals, and the division is j composed largely of South Carolina boys. Last Friday was probably the saddest day in the history of Bamberg. ' On that day the body of Dr. J. J. j Cleckley was laid to rest in Southend cemetery. Hardly had the grave been filled when the spirit of Dr. Charles F. Black departed to answer the i summons of the Maker. The town ' sustained a loss which is almost irreparable, especially at this time of distress at home and abroad. Both men were in the prime of life, young men with their life work before them. Deeply implanted in the hearts of their many friends is the : memory of these Christian doctors. They died in the discharge of their j professional duty at a time when exposure meant danger, but this did! not deter them from the performance of their duty. When the ravages of the influenza epidemic called, these martyred physicians answered unselifishly without thought of danger to self. That their lives should be the price of their answering the j call to alleviate the suffering of the i people is a matter of deep and distressing sorrow, and yet it is a mag- j nificent thought that one should lay ' down his life that others might live. Loving hands did all that could be done to stay the hand of the grim reaper, and loving hearts will ever | cherish the memory of these lives j sacrificed to the cause of humanity. i \ \ - rk Styles We are dail i that if you ? to see us bef 0 H \ ^rom i?bben m We buy in c #iry?rlBS0S nni . r Si nererore, v while giving Coats in broadcloth, vertones, pom poms, si at each $1( Our lines ar< advise yo BER'S,' Save Swgai HE |CHIU>I?Nf 0 ^ S BQfinm " 1 P ws 1 I FRANCE ? - ? 0 D o ?

And if every little American, in every State in the union would not spend thatx daily penny for candy ANY DAY, bun^ with sugar on them could be given to the hungry chil dren over the sea, and they would Decome fat, and healthy and happy like 4 yourself. Now that sounds like magic, and magic it is?white magic, of the very finest kind. As magic is quite difficult to understand, you will have tp read every word of what follows in order to see^ how the trick is done. You see, the story of how an American lollipop can turn into a Belgian bun?just like that?is very much like the story that ends with "dog won't bite pig, pig won't jump over stile, and I can't get home tonight." Lets pretend that we have come to the nice part at the end, where the pig finally jumps over the stile and the old lady gets home, all because the cat, way off yonder, begaj^ to eat the rat. In this story it's the little Americans, who begin to A Call to Worship.
