Brief Items of Interest Throughout j
the Town and County.
(
Mr. B. S. Johns is completing a
large addition to his residence on ^
New Bridge street, recently purchas- ^
ed from Mrs. J. M. Jennings.
One would hardly think that Main
street was a foot deep in niud only ^
about ten days ago. after taking a t
look at the dust on the street now
every time a vehicle passes. g
Beginning April 1, the stores of t
Bamberg will close each afternooon i
at 7 o'clock, new time, except Sat- i
urdays. This will give the clerks t
and store people ample opportunity c
for afternoon recreation or garden- c
ing. t
The county treasurer has received 1
from the State superintendent of i
education $4 00 for the extension of I
public schools of Bamberg county, s
under the 191$ apropriation. Four '<
schools receive this aid as follows: *
Three Mile, $100: Fishpond, $100: J
Hutto, $100; Oak Grove, $1.00. S
The local board met yesterday to r
open bids for fourteen filing cabi- *
nets and one Remington typewriter. 1
Only one bid was received and that
for the typewriter. As this bid was 1
mmimnm fivoj if W?S not ^

instructions as to the disposition of *
> the property.
Mr. D. A. Reid is having the house ^
he purchased from Dr. George F.
1
Hair moved from the south side of ^
Elm street to his lot on the north ^
side of the street, next to Mr. LaVerne
Thomas. A colored man, Harris,
of Columbia, is moving the house
which is now about in place. The j
house will be remodeled. \

Portions of the thirtieth division
will arrive ir 'Charleston this week, t
Among the Bamberg boys who will r
arrive in this contingent is Claude a
, M. Smoak, who has recently been 1
decorated for bravery. There are t
many other Bamberg boys in the thir- I
tieth, and many of them will arHve i
in the contingents this - week and s
next week. c
One subscriber to The Herald the h
other day stopped his paper; said it *
was too high. We tried to reason ?
the thjng out, stating that our increase
was small compared with oth- ^
er trade increases, and only made as
a last, resort. However, the subscrib-T *
er still thought it, too high^ and we
reluctantly took his name from the ^
list. A few days later, a "check foi
$2.00 came along, with the explanation
that "It seems we cannot do
without it." We appreciate the fact ^
- that the subscriber thinks so well of

Entertain Boys of the Thirtieth. 0
\ ' j<
Several citizens of Bamberg have p
interested themselves in getting up t
an entertainment to welcome home v
the boys of the thirtieth division. As a
yet nothing definite can be announc- p
I ed, but as soon as the date of the demobilization
is announced, definite e
plans will be" made to give the boys r
a proper welcome. It is planned to c
invite some distinguished speakers,
and to have a real big affair in honor
of these brave lads who con- q
tributed so largely to the victory of
the allied arms. *
While such an entertainment
would be in honor of the thirtieth ^
division boys, because they are the
r.rst South Carolina men to return t
in a body, it is planned to invite all *
other boys who have returned from
service to share the honors of the ^
occasion. 1
The colored people have already t
had welcome exercises in honor of
the colored men returning from ser- c
vice, but it may be well for them to E
arrange also to welcome those who 0
have more recently returned home, a
about the same time, and this sug- *
gestion will likely be made to some E
of the colored leaders. - v

BAMBERG COUNTY WEALTH.
Bank I>ei>osits and Bond Sales
Amount to $174 Per Capita.
In December, 1917, The Herald
published a statement showing the
)ank deposits of Bamberg county,
which at that time aggregated $2,141.116.20,
or $113.50 per capita,
ft is interesting to note that the present
bank deposits, or rather the de>ositis
on March 4. aggregated $2,!
.">i ,321 .OS. an increase of over j
$100,000, and this in the face of the j
ract that since that time the coun- j |
y has invested enormous sums in i
_ ! <
liberty bonds, and war savings;
stamps. The total money wealth of | '
he county, including bank deposits, j '
iberty bonds and W. S. S. bought by j '
the people of the county, aggregate \
he magnificent sum of $3,130,817,'
>r $173.93 for each man, woman audi
<
:hild. white and colored, in the counv.
The money wealth of the coun;y
in December, 1917, should have
ncluded the bonds bought by the
>eople of the county in the first and
second bond campaigns, totaling j .
ibout $140,000, which, added to the; 1
)ank deposits at that time, would j
lave totaled *$2,181,116.20, or j J
>121.17 per capita. This gives defilite
figures to compare with the
present, per capita money ' wealth,
which is $173.93. <
The following are the various de>osits
in the county's banking insti;utions,
as shown by the published
statements for March 4th:

md no State or county organization. ^
The only bonds sold in Bamberg of, *
hat issue were sold through the *
Samberg Banking Co., the total be- 1
ng $15,700. There were probably f
ome bonds bought elsewhere in the *
ounty, but there is no record at

The taxable value of all property j
ii Bamberg county is $3,732,479.09, j c
ompared with $3,308,430.00 a year f
go. The taxable value, of course, i "
3 nothing like the commercial value. ^
f the property. For instance, land s
s assessed at an average of $5.33 1 -3 . p
er acre. We would not attempt V>, a
o say what Bamberg county land is F
:orth, but it is safe to say that the. ?
ctual value is far more than $5.33 j 8

The wealth of the county, comput- t

We have no figures before us of a
he wealth per capita of other coun- s
ies in the State, or other States in s
he union, but we believe that these j j
igures will compare very favorably f
ndeed with those for any other secion
of the country.
These figures, of course, take no
onsideration of money that is never
lepo^ited. And, as stated before,
>nlv the taxable value of real estate
md . personal property is used for
his calculation, and such figures do
tot in any sense represent the real
-alue of the property,! for $100 is
bout as much as household furniure,
for instance, is evpr returned,
whereas, it may be actually worth
:500 or more.
CASHING IN W. S. S.
Slany Bamberg Holders Redeeming
Stamps.?Should Hold Them.
Postmaster Knight calls The Herald's
attention to the fact that many
holders of war savings stamps are
cashing them in at the various offices
in the county. Last month about t
$10,000 in stamps were redeemed!
here, and the number being redeemed
is increasing steadily.
The Herald regrets to learn that}
this is being done on such a largo j
scale. Of course, one beauty about |
war savings stamps is that of being
able to redeem them at any time, but;
at the same time the redemption on j
a large scale will put the government J
just where it was before the stamps ;
were sold. Stamps are issued for!
rt'a 1'anrn a 1, r>l, 1 /i k a 1, a 1 a! f am aa !
live jcdis, aiiu 311UUIU uc neiu LUI patriotic
reasons, if it is possible to do !
so.
In a case of emergency, no one is '
to be blamed for disposing of stamps i
but unless an emergency exists the
holders should retain them at least
for the present, and until maturity,
if possible.
A great many of the war savings j
stamps were only purchased the lat-!
:er part of 1918, and by cashing!
them in at this time, it will be seen
that the government has scarcely had
the use of the money at all. All W.
3. S. holders are most earnestly urged
to hold them, if it is at all possible
to do so.
HORSE SMASHES WINDOW.
\lso I>enioIi.shed a Buggy in Runaway
Monday.
A rather exciting runaway occurred
on Main street Monday morning,
esulting in some disaster. The aninal,
hitched to a buggy, was tied in J
the rear of the stores on the east'
;ide of Main street when it became
? 2' ?. j J j _
[ngnienea ana raaae a successiui
getaway from the hitching post.
Dashing through the alley between
5moak & Moye and C. R. Brabham, l
lr., the animal succeeded in scatterng
the vehicle along the alley, partng
company with the remnants alnost
at the sidewalk. Being thus
ree of most of its incumbrances, the'
lorse took on some more momentum |
?so much, in fact, that the animal j
lould not very well negotiate the
lurve into Main street. Evidently j
hinking it better to go straight
ihead than not to go at all, the horse
an up onto the sidewalk in front of
'om Ducker's store. When she tried
o put on brakes, her legs succeeded
ri going on some farther, thus relucing
the horse to a condition of
lors du combat. Finding nothing
ore profitable to do, she then be:an
kicking in an attempt to regain i
ler fee?. Tom Ducker's store win-|\
low happened to be in the way, so j
he proceeded to kick a good portion j
if it down, including an $80 plate
dass window. Several buckets 01.
leas, beans, etc., were scattered j
bout the sidewalk; and in general
he store had the appearance of a
isit by a hurricane. However, the
iorse managed to keep out of the
ange of the falling debris and was:
aught on the street. The plate
;lass window was insured, so the!
oss was not so very heavy, but the
iuggv was just about as completely j
lemolished as if it had been standing |
n No Man's Land during the battle
if the Marne. As usual, q,uite a
rowd was attracted to the scene.

A '
Clothing for the Belgians.
The Red Cross organization of the,
ounty is now conducting a oampaign '
or old clothing for the Belgians. |
""lie campaign will continue through j
larch 31, and has been timed to
eason with the change of most peo- 1
le from winter to spring or summer
pparel. It is very likely th'at most
ieople in making this change will
iscard clothing that is comparatively
;ood,v yet which will not be worn
gain. It is just such clothing as
his that the Red Cross desires, in a
erv ^lean and sanitary condition,
o forward for the relief of the Beldan
people. The campaign is not
onfined to Bamberg, but includes
he entire county. Clothing should
>e sent to the nearest Red Cross
ranch, which will see that it is in
urn sent to Bamberg for properhipment.
Bamberg people may send such
.rticles to the graded school by the
chool children if inconvenient to
end them to the Red Cross rooms.
Bamberg county hopes to show up
ine in this matter.
His Optimism.
"A feller might just as well look
m the bright side of things," renarked
Gap Johnson, of Bumpus
lidge, Arkansas. "When the time
omes his needeessities are 'most
rene'lv purvided. Frinstance, when
le is little, somebody is always on
land with a safety pin to hold his
dothes on, and when he grows up
le can usually find a horseshoe nail
aying around handy."
STARVING ARMENIA AND SYRIA.
What Will the People of Ramberg
County Do?
For a long time we have wondered
at the patience and forbearance of
the Christian world in letting heathen
Turkey murder and pillage Christian
Armenia: at last, through war,
though cruel as it is, God has delivered
them from their enemy, though
their enemy has already driven them
from their land, and they are now
resting under the sheltering care of
the general in command of the English
forces in the Ho-ly Land. The
allies wish to return them to their
own country again as soon as possible.
Thousands of them have been
murdered, and thousands have been
starved to death, and they are now
at the mercy of the Christian world
for food, raiment and implements
till they can have a harvest. Practically
all the grown men have been
slain?their land must be rebuilt by
women, boys and girls. Our government
has asked us for a large sum
with which to undertake this work,
and Bamberg county is given
$3,000 as our part to raise. How
shall we respond? We are not rich,
but we thank God that we are comfortable,
and I trust are willing to
divide with our starving Armenian
and Syrian brothers. We implore
every Christian minister in Bamberg
county to consult his official hoard,
and raise as large an amount as possible
for this fund on the first Sunday
in April, or as soon thereaftei
as possible?deposit same :r your
nearest bank and when collection has
teen completed we will instruct you
as to sending the funds.
May God move the hearts of our
people to give, realizing the needs
of these, Christian people, and the
task will be accomplished. Very truly,
your strvant,
JAMES B. GUESS,
County Chairman.
PENSION BOARD MEETS.
Will Pass on Claims of Confederate
Soldiers and Widows.
The Bamberg county board of pension#
commissioners will meet in the
grand jury room at the court house
between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2
p. m., on March 29 for the purpose
of passing on the claims of Confederate
soldiers and widows who have
never been on the pension roll.
The work of enrolling those of
this class will be finished in the time
specified, and it is imperative that
those who desire to'enroll should appear
on the date arranged for the
enrollment.
Necessary blanks may be liad from
the judge of probate's office. Applicants
for enrollment should bring
their witnesses in order to facilitate
the work. Two witnesses are required
to give evidence of the service
rendered by the soldier and to vouch
for the widows. The pension board
is composed of J. D. Felder, J. D.
Rowell. J. B. Kearse.
Mistaken Idea Corrected.
Editor Bamberg Herald:?I notice
in your issue of March 20, a
letter from Cant. J. B. Guess which
is somewhat -lisleading, though I
am sure not intentionally. He also
pubises a letter frorti the Hon.
t
Banks Dove in regard to the Armenian
and Syrian Relief Fund. From
these letters . it would appear that
Bamberg county has done nothing
for this worthy cause, except what
the Methodists of Denmark -have
*
done. I want to say that the people
of Ehrhardt and vicinity heard the
call for 'this humanitarian - object,
and at the time appointed in February
made the drive. And the
money has been sent to the different
denominational treasuries with
instructions to forward same to the
proper authorities named to handle
this fund. The drive was made by
the different pastors through their
several churches with the following
results:
Methodist, something over.. $500.00
Lutheran 309.15
Baptist 130.00
Total $939.15
If I remember correctly, Bamberg
county's apportionment was
$2,000. I do not see why that
amount can not be raised if other
sections come up in proportion to
Ehrhardt. It is a most worthy
cause, one that I do not see how we
as Christians can turn a deaf ear to.
To do so, would be, it seems to me,
to act the part of the priest and the
priest and the Levite. Yours very
Levite. Youns very truly,
P. D. RISINGER.
Ehrhardt, S.' C.
Confederate Veterans, Take Notice!
All Confederate Veterans and widows
of veterans not now on the pension
rolls, will please meet the pension
commissioners at Bamberg on
Saturday, March 29, at 10 oclock
sharp. J. D. FELDER,
For the Committee.

IIOAI) MONEY FOR BAMBERG.
$37,242.62 is Available From the
Federal Government.
Columbia, March 24.?Bamberg
county's apportionment of federal
money for building roads amounts
to $.17,242.62. Under ^present conditions,
this money will become
available when Bamberg county covers
it dollar for dollar. When this
is done, the county will have for
road building the sum of $74,485,24
which it can use on projects approved
by the secretary of the United
States department of agriculture.
With its apportionment of federal
funds plus the funds which it must
provide before the federal money is
available, Bamberg county can build
about 3.4 miles of concrete road oi
about 21.5 miles of top-soil or sandclay
road. These figures on mileage
are based on the assumption that
1 grading, culverts, etc.. will cost
$2,000 per mile: top-soil or sandclay
surfacing will cost $1,500 per
mile; and concrete surfacing will
cost $20,000 per mile. These estimates
are based on averages and will
not hold good for all* cases. Therefore,
the figures on mileage stated
above are approximations only and
are given for purposes of comparison.
The above named types of roads
are' used because they are typical.
It is not meant that federal aid will
be given to building only these types
or that only these three types are
recommended.
Bamberg county's apportionment
of federal funds for road building
does not include the funds from this
source which can be had for bridge
building. The State highway commission
now has its disposal for
building bridges enough money to
build practically all the important
bridges needed in the State. This
money will be available when the
county or counties served by - the
bridges cover it dollar for dollar and
