?be Bamberg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of Marah 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 28. No. 1. Thursday, January 2, 1919. Bamberg county has quite a bit of money dh deposit with the government in the way of liberty bonds and war savings stamps. The bonds are payable in from ten to forty years, and the stamps in 1923. This represents a large amount of savings to the people of the county, and that it was possible to invest such a large sum, which is probably well in excess of one million dollars, *shows what a prosperous county Bamberg is. It is also a peculiar fact that although the people have saved this vast amount of money within the past year and a half, the bank statements show more money on deposit than ever before. These investments, therefore, must represent mon^y that the people are usually in the habit of spending. ^ ' Allied Bill Against Germany. The war bill of the Allies against Germany is 24,000,000,000 pounds, according to the British prime minister, David Lloyd George, who presented this and other interesting facts before a large gathering at Bristol, England, Wednesday. The cost of the war to Great Britain was 8,000,000,000 pounds. Before the war the estimated wealth of Germany, said the premier, was between 15,000,000,000 and 20,000,000,000 pounds sterling. So if the whole wealth of Germany were taken there would not be enough to pay the account. Therefore he had used the words: v "Germany should pay to the utmost limit of her capacity." When the prime minister was addressing an overflow meeting he said Great Britain would be guilty ' of great folly if she gave up her navy. A voice interrupted: "Then watch Wilson!". / The premier replied: "Well, I , hope to meet him in a fort-night. I will tell him what you say. "Wherever the request - conies from, we are not going to give up the protection of the navy, so far as Great Britain is concerned." ? ^ MN ? ? . .

Yon talk about the six-day races where fellows ride around and around until they drop dead or go nuts! Why, the Christmas handicap has that kind of an endurapee race skun a mile! "My wife gives one hundred and eleven presents on December 24 and 25. The race *s between her and Christmas, and, believe me, Christmas is coming along pretty fast when It comes to the last lap of the race during December. But my wife is coming along pretty raifldly, too. Take it from me, those needles of hers click so fast that they sound like fifty revolutions to the minute, and she hits on all six, too, and she leaves a string of pink and blue double bowknots, kutelets, picos and fourets in the wake of those needles that would astonish you! "'Tick, tick,' says the clock, and tickerty, tickerty, tick, tick,' says the needle and there's a pair of embroidered socks, an embroidered handkerchief or a foot towel, a sweater, a cap, a doily, a lamp shade, a photo holder or most any old thing. "Bingo! It's December 22! Bingo, bingo, bingo-o-o, go the knitting needles and crochet hooks and the tatting shuttles, leaving a string of gar ments in their wake. "December 23 jumps tip on the calendar, and whizz! bang! zipp! go the needles, the paint brushes, the branding irons and the stencils. And swish,' swish! on comes the scenery, the menagerie, or whatever she has to evolve. "December 24 swings into the stretch. Now Christmas is here. They approach the wire. "Now, I don't know whether my wife has worked all night or not, bnt she has brought her string pretty well up abreast of the times. But some of these presents have to be delivered. My wife grabs a handful of them and starts out to deliver them. None of them is finished yet, but she finishes them on the way. "Clang, ciangl goes the street car. Buz-z-z! goes the current' and away we go! But bib, bib, bob go the finishing touches on the presents. My wife arrives at a place where a present is to be delivered and rings the bell.
