Congressman Byrnes has introduced
a bill in congress to present the
city of Barnwell with one of the cannon
captured from the Germans.
What's the matter with getting one of
these cannon for Bamberg? If Mr.
Byrnes is asked to do so, he will
doubtless be glad to secure a war relic
for this city. This would be a constant
reminder of the noble part Bamberg
played in the war.
<ai ?
The Columbia State properly calls
attention to the popular error of referring
to the "reconduction" of the
country after the war. One could
properly refer to the reconstruction
of Prance or Belgium, but America
has had nothing torn up to reconstruct.
America played a noble part
in the war?she saved the day for
the allies and she lost some sixty
y
thousand of her best sons, but America
has not known what war is in this
struggle. '
It is very unfortunate that there
are no houses in Bamberg for rent.
The fact that it is next to impossible
to secure a house is keeping
new residents from Bamberg. The
Herald was recently in communication
with a gentleman who wished to
accept a position here, but it was a
condition of his acceptance that he
must have a house to live in, as he
was a man of family. We were compelled
to inform him that it would
ho oimnst a miracle if he succeeded
in renting a house in Bamberg. This
is a bad state of affairs. We have
repeatedly suggested the idea of
some of our local men investing in
cottages for rent, and we renew the
suggestion. The objection seems to
be that rents are so low here that
houses are not a profitable investment,
but we further suggest the
idea that a man who wants a house
will pay what it is worth. There are
investors in Bamberg now who have
money in many "foreign" enterprises,
even mines. Why not put some of
the extra money into something that
will be of benefit to Bamberg? If

BROOKS W. SUMMER, OP HARTSVELLE,

One Boat Lost On
Trip Going Over
Writes of Terrific Fighting Done By
the Now Famous
Division.
In transmitting the following letter
to The &ews and Courier, its correspondent
at Hartsville, says:
"This letter is one received from
Mr. W. W. Summer, of this place,
from his son, W. Brooks Summer, a
sergeant in Company L, 118th infantry,
Thirtieth division. Company
L, is the Hartsville company, and has
lost many fine young men since going
into the fighting with the Brit

rather strange thing that none of
the letters from the survivors of this
company mention the death or
wounding of their comrades save
very exceptionally, and then with
none or scant details. It is hoped
that they will be back soon to tell
us all and when and in what manner
our brave young men met their
deaths or received their severe
wounds over there. Segt. Summer,
it is known from Capt. Craig and
other sources, has been a soldier of
unusual courage, of fine judgment
and splendid resourcefulness and
has been in many raids, and in almost
every one of the dreadful drives
which this devoted Thirtieth division
has participated in in France."
"A. E. F., Nov. 24, 1918.
"My Dear Father: This is a Christmas
letter and I hope that you will
get it Christmas day. I'm going to
tell you all I know about this war
and all the experiences I have had
Bamberg is to grow, it is certain that
the people must have houses to live
in, and there is a great army of families
who cannot or are not in position
to buy or build for themselves,
and these people should be taken care
of as a matter of city pride, if for
no other reason. Building material
ic nnw e^ttine cheaDer. and it is a
good time to start the ball to rolling.
There is need for at least 25 small
cottages in Bamberg right now.

| eating dinner one day when a boy
| came down and said one of the boats
was sinking. We went up on deck
and could see a large transport laying
on her side with a large hole in
her bottom. Our boat didn't stop
so that is all I know about it.- All
our "mosquito" fleet stopped though.
We landed in Glasgow, Scotland, May
23. We saw some beautiful scenery
going up the Clyde river. We got
on a train there and went to Folkstone,
Eng. We went by London and
all the large towns in England. May
25th we arrived in Calais, France.
We stayed there a few days and went
to a little town named Lauche, and
from there to Quarenham. We left
there on July 2, and crossed th? Belgium
border on July 4. We went
up in the Ypres salient. The Germans
were fixing to make a big drive
for Calais July 23, and we were sent
up there to stop them. Our artillery
was too heavy for them so we broke
the drive up. We rqoved from Ypres
salient to Kemmel hill. We started a
drive up there and drove the Germans
from Kemmel hill, to Messines
ridge. We left there and went down
in France again to a little town
named Pressy, near Albert. There
we went in training for a big drive.
We didn't know where but we knew
it would be somewhere. We trained
with tanks, airplanes and everything
the army had. We left Pressy and
went to a little town called Areques.
Wo were loaded on trucks September
22 and started for the front line
again.
Faced the Hindenburg Line.
"We relieved the Australians beI
tween St. Quentin and Cambrai, Sejv

No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled wiui worms nave an unhealthy
color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rale, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, improve
the digestion, and act as a General Strengthening
Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.
CARD OF THANKS.
i The children of the late Mr. I. W.
Rentz wish to express their thanks
to their many friends for the many
kind attentions rendered them during
the illness of their father, and
after his death. The many expressions
of sympathy are also most sincerely
appreciated. np
