Ct)epamkrg$)eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891,'Aider Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 27. ? No. 48. * . Thursday, Dec. 19,1918. The Herald wishes each and every one of its readers and patrons a mer ry Christmas and a happy new year. The past year has brought forth much for which to be thankful, and everybody ought to be happy. The year has also brought forth much sadness, but we trust that our troubles are over, and that the next year will be a prosperous and happy one for all. On account of the fact that the ootton mill, from which The Herald office derives its day electric current, will close down Monday night for the holidays, the next issue of The Herald will be printed next Monday afternoon. Advertisers and others de* siring notices in the paper will kindly make note of this. All copy for " the next issue of The Herald must be in our hands by Monday morning. i m > Sou^h Carolina figures in about everything that goes on in this world. It took the Thirtieth Division, composed largely of South Carolina boys, to show those Germans what a real '" V * soldier was, and then when the president went to church in Paris the ' v / other day, he heard a sermon by one of South Carolina's foremost preachers, Bishop Guerry, of the Episcopal church. The bishop has been in Europe for some time doing war work bin denomination. In the morn ? v ins the president and Mrs. Wilson attended the president's own church, Presbyterian, anfl in the afternoon they went to Mrs. Wilson's church, she being a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. . The Herald today presents to its readers a fine line of advertising, and if oulp^eaders fail to read them, they will misfc^mie of the best features of the paper.Herald regrets that it was unable tc\andie all of the holiday advertising ?* the county this year, but the. limitatYons of the force made it impossible to print a large 'edition of the paper. Then, too, tt^e governpient restriction against issu' ing special editions was only taken .off on December 15th, making the V time very short in which to prepare the reading matter and advertisements for this issue of the paper. To ; % our advertisers we express our thanks - for the liberal business given us in past, and we wish each of them vv Sip prosperous and successful year during 1919. jfe Some people, particularly the Rept ^publicans of the old school, the dyed: ln-the-wool variety, are worrying themselves half to death because the ' president has gone to Europe to attend the sessions of the peace conference. Now, you need not lay in I, .V ' your bed at night and lose sleep over Woodrow Wilson. It won't do . any'good, because if Woodrow sets his head on attending the peace conference, attend the peace conference he will, and we don't imagine he is losing much sleep over what some Republicans think about it. Also, if it were not necessary for him to go, he would not have done so. For our part, we long ago quit having any doubts about anything that Wilson does. Wilson will prove himself right, and you will find that you were silly to question his acts; so the best thing to do, when you read that the * president is going to do this or that, (is to join in and support the president, putting confidence in him for all that you don't know, which is usually a good deal, about his reasons for doing it. rVC~.' The government has fixed the price of war savings stamps. They increase in value one cent every month. MASTER'S SALE. State of South Carolina, County of Bamberg.
