There are many matters of great
importance before the people of
Bamberg, and it would help if these
matters were discussed. We offer
the columns of The Herald to the
citizens for the discussion of these
* n " /vn on/1 toll thp
QjlieSllODS. V^UUiC UU cuiu IV11 ^ voters
and others your views on the
needs of Bamberg and your suggestions
for securing these needs.
The city election for mayor and
aldermen will be held the first part
" of May. Many of the gentlemen
whose names have been suggested?
for none have announced of their own
accord?refuse to take the jobs if
they are elected. Many of the others
do not want places on council. We
should like to see at least fifteen or
twenty good men offer for these
places as a matter of public duty.
The voters may then select whom
they will.
The traffic in illicit whiskey in
^ Bamberg is a growing industry, judg~
ing from the number of drunken peo/
pie now to be seen constantly. That
the liquor is being made in the county
there is little doubt. Sheriff Ray
states that it is practically impossible
. to apprehend the liquor sellers and
makers unless he is given assistance.
The sheriff is in hopes of securing
help from the State government, and
he says if he can get the necessary

It is a peculiar fact that blind tiger
stills is one of the hardest propositions
to handle which; the officers
have to contend^ with. The majority
of good people, even though they are
not in sympathy with the traffic, will
hesitate or outright refuse to cooper9
- ate with the officers in running down
the blind tigers. The time is coming
when some determined action will
have to be taken, else the traffic will
assume menacing proportions. It
lpoks like there will be very little
help from the national government
,for some time to come. It was ex,
pected the revenue department would
enforce national prohibition after
' - July 1, but the revenue service states
that it is not its province to do so.
As congress made no appropriation
for the enforcement of the law, there
is not likely to be much enforcing
done by the federal authorities until
such appropriation is made. In the
meantime it is up to the law respect
ing citizens to cooperate with the*officers
if any relief is to be had.

The Prize Letter.
The censor gets gray hairs early
wading through a lot of wild letters,
hut the following taken from an
J American Doughboy at an English
port has gained him the reputation
as the "prize liar" of the war:
"Dear mother and the folks?We
' hadn't more than got out of sight
of New York than you could see submarines
bobbing up all around us.
The periscopes were as thick as cattails
in a swamp. I counted 75, and
v' then the ships began to fire.
"The gunner near me fainted.
Shell-shock, I guess. I sprang to the
gun and began shooting. The shot
? I fired hit a submarine square on
top at the back, and tore out its
J whole backbone, just like tearing out
a, whale's backbone. There was
bipod all over the water and some
oil.
"I kept on shooting. I sank 12 of
the submarines myself. The battle
lasted a good while, and I heard 50
of the submarines had been destroyed.
None of us was killed. The sub.
marine^ what was left, finally left us.
We haven't seen any more of them.
Give this to the papers. Love to all.
the folks from your soldierboy.?G."
Puzzling.
In Tennessee they tell of a judge,
a man well versed in the law but entirely
self-educated, who had to contend
with the difficulties of ortho
graphv. In the old days he lived in
Knoxville, and for a long time he insisted
upon spelling it "Noxville."
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of prefixing a K; so
thoroughly in fact, was he learned,
that a few years later, when he moved
to Nashville, nothing could prevent
him from spelling it "Knashville."
\
Then some time later, the judge
moved again, this time to Murfreesboro.
On the day that he began to
write his first letter from this place
he scratched his head in perplexity
and finally exclaimed:
"I give it up! How on earth can
they spell the name of this place
with a K?"
J Labor Supply Less, Demand Greater.
i
Saluda, April 8.?According to the
government report released today by |
: B. B. Hare, South Carolina field agent;
j of the bureau of crop estimates. V. S.
j department of agriculture, the supply
! of farm labdr in South Carolina is
20 per cent, less and the demand 3
per cent, more than on the corresponding
date of last year; while for
the entire United States the supply
is 1T>.6 per cent, less with an increase
in demand of 1.0 per cent. The average
wages of male farm labor per
month by the year with board in
South Carolina is reported at $21.50,
and without board at $30, the average
wage per day for other than harvest
work with board being $1.15
to include not only rations
but living quarters, fuel and
two or more acres of land
is called to the fact that these figures
represent money wages and when
board is furnished it is the custom
not only rations but living quarters,
fuel and two or more acres of land
free of rent, the same being fertilized,
cultivated and harvested in the
same manner as that worked for the
landlord.
The estimated number of sows in
the State for breeding purposes is 3
per cent, more than last year.
The condition of wheat gnd rye is
excellent, both being reported at 90
per cent, of normal, the ten-year average
for wheat on April 1, being 87
per cent, and rye SO per cent.
Coming Back.
The boys of the A. E. F. are growing
pessimistic about getting home.
They sing songs nowadays voicing
their incredulity of ever getting
back. One of the most popular was
composed by a Second division man
and runs like this:
Darling I am coming back,
Silver hairs among the black;
Now that peace in Europe nears
I'll be home in seven years.
I'll drop in on you some night,
With my whiskers long and white.
Yes, the war is over, dear,
And we're going home, I hear.
Home again with you once more?
Say, by nineteen twenty-four.
Once I thought by now I'd be
Sailing back across the sea.
Back to where you sit and pine?I
But I'm stuck here on the Rhine,
\ou can hear the gang all curse!
"War is hell, but peace is worse."
When the next war comes around
In the front line I'll be found.
I'll rush in again pell-mell;
Yes, I will?like hell?like hell!

Busy Hours Ahead.
He i was a strikingly handsome
figure in his uniform as he started
out upon his round of farewell calls.
"And you'll think of me every sin1
2le minute when you're in those stu
pid old trenches?" questioned the
sweet young thing upon whom he
first called.
He nodded emphatically. "Every
minute."
"And you'll kiss my picture every
night?" - - %
"Twice a night," he vowed, patting
the pretty head on his shoulder.
"And write me long, long letters?"
she insisted.
"Every spare minute I have," he
reassured her, and hurried away to
the next name on his list.
There were ten in all who received
his promises.
When it was over he sighed. "I
hope," he murmured wearily, "there
won't be much fighting 'over there.'
I'm going to be so tremendously
busy."
^ ? r
Anti-Theft Device for Motor Cars.
To check automobile thieving is
the purpose of an electric accessory
lately devised for the motor car,
which is shown in a recent issue of
Popular Mechanics. Essentially the
contrivance consists of an automobile
siren connected in a dry-batterv
circuit with a mercury switch. When
the car is in motion, vibrations agitate
the mercury so that the gap is
bridged and contact formed, sounding
the horn in the event the circuit
is closed. Thus if anyone, without
the owner's knowledge, attempts to
steal a car so equipped, the siren
would sound immediately and keep
on doing so until the engine was
stopped or the electric circuit opened.
