Barnwell county, through County
Treasurer J. B. Armstrong, has just
secured a loan for $45,000. to be
used for current expenses during the
year 1919.
Bids were asked from the various
banks of the county to make the lowest
rate of interest on the loan and
the sealed bids were opened up .Monday,
and it was found that the Home
Bank had made the lowest rate 011
the money, that rate being less than
3^per cent, per annum and the county
and Mr. Armstrong are to be congratulated
on getting such a low rate
of interest for the taxpayers.?Barnwell
Sentinel.
We understood from a statement
of the ^Barnwell county treasurer,
published a few weeks ago in the
Barnwell papers, that Barnwell was
practically out of debt. The statex
ment was made that the county owed
only a matter of some $1,600. It
will, therefore, doubtless be a matter
of information to the people of that
county to learn that a loan of $45,000
has been secured. What does
. Barnwell want with the money?

proclamation calling on the people of

berg county has responded to the
various calls for war purposes with a
liberality that has made the county
famous not only in this State but in
other States. This is thl final drive
for liberty bonds, and is perhaps the
last time Bamberg will ever be called
upon to subscribe to loans to the government.
The last loan should be
taken in appreciation of the great
victory that has been won. Only on
two occasions did Bamberg)fail to
meet its quota for war funds, and on
those occasions there was no organized
effort to raise the quotas. The
present loan is decidedly the most attractive
that has yet been offered by
the government; the bonds bear 4 3-4
per cent, interest, and mature in four
years, with the government retaining
the option of retiring the bonds in
1 three years.
We note from the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat that steps are
to be taken to secure the federal road
. aid in Orangeburg county. This will
be good news to the people of Bamr
vv berg. As has already been stated in
The Herald, the contract has been
awarded for the building of Bamberg
z
county's link of the Columbia-Savannah
highway, from Edisto river
to Salkehatchie river. If the plans
of Orangeburg county mature, Orangeburg
will take up the highway
at the Edisto river and carry it to
? the county line between Orangeburg
and Calhoun. It is understood that
plans are being made in Allendale
county for that county to take up its
link of the road at the Salkehatchie
river. . If these three links of the
highway are built, the road will be
very nearly completed. We do not
know if Calhoun has arranged to
build its link, but no doubt such arrangements
will be made, if not al
ready under way. The opportunity
to secure dollar-for-dollar in highway
construction is certainly too
gobd to pass up, and any county that
does not secure such road aid is not
on the job. There is also a fund
which can be drawn upon, on the
same terms, for bridge construction,
and it is to be hoped that a permanent
bridge will be built over the
Edisto.

RESUMES SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
Mr. M. W. Brabham Connected With
Sunday School Magazines.
The following announcement is
made in the May issue of the Sunday
School Magazine, published at Nashville,
Tenn.:
"It gives the superintendent of this j
department (young people and j
adults) pleasure to announce that,
beginning with the first of Marcn,
Mr. M. W. Brabham, formerly of
North Carolina, has become associate
superintendent of the department.
Mr. Brabham is well known to the
headquarters staff and to the Sunday
school work of the South. For several
years he was field secretary of the
two North Carolina conferences and
i iimionollu cnoooccfnl in WDQlAV
w as un uouanj ouw^ociua au ? ?
Bible class work and in dealing with
college groups of young people. He
also did excellent work in the field of
teacher-training. From North Carolina
Mr. Brabham went to the Virginia
conference as field secretary
but soon after our country entered
the war he volunteered for Army Y.
M. C. A. work, and he remained in
that field until the' close of the war.
His last work with the Y. M. C. A.
had to do with college groups. Mr.
Brabham is a thoroughly equipped
Sunday school worker and also knows
how to deal with men. He will specialize
in the young people's department
and will give most of his time
and attention to work in the field.
We congratulate the church at large
on this acquisition to our field force.
The superintendent of this department
feels great pleasure in being associated
in the work with such a
choice spirit as Mr. Brabham, who
is attracted to us by his love of the
Sunday school."
The Adult Student, published by
the same publishers, at Nashville, has
the following announcement in the
May issue:
"It gives the superintendent ot
young people's and adult work great
pleasure to present to^our Bible classes
an associate superintendent. Mr.
M. W. Brabham, who entered upon
the duties of this office on the first
day of March, is no tyro in Sunday
school field work. For five years
Mr. Brabham was Sunday school field
secretary of the North Carolina confa-ra-nno.
and whilp still hnlriine that
position was elected field secretary
of the Virginia conference. When our
country entered the war Mr. Brabham
went into the Army Y. M. C. A.,
where he remained until called to his
present position. Mr. Brabham has
been quite successful with young people
and will give special attention to
that end of the work of the young
people's and adult department. He
will spend much time in the field.
Having known Mr. Brabham for
years, it gives me much pleasure to !
have him for an associate in this important
field."

What "Dutch ffophet" Says.
\
Easter Sunday will be fair and
mild. The present low temperature
will pass away and nice weather will
succeed it within a few days. No
danger from frost may be apprehended
in the meantime.
It was Easter Sunday in 184 9 that
the phenomenal snowstorm occurred
70 years ago as. referred to by the
Anderson correspondent of The State
today (Thursday.) Besides the account
of the snowstorm which the
correspondent quotes from the fly
leaf of an old notebook, the Anderson
Intellizencer of that week con
tains an account of the phenomenon,
tn this section the snow fall began
just as the people were leaving the
churches at the close of the services,
is the account of it was related to
^he Dutch Prophet by an eyewitness
uany years ago.
The trees were in full leaf, wheat
in the "boot" stage of its growth and
3ther grain crops in the same flourshing
condition. Corn was well advanced
also. The wheat crop was
killed, making it a total failure, and
:he entire corn crcp had to be replanted.
As corn was always planted
n that period on March 10, it worked
i great hardship on the farmers.
As indicated already in these forecasts
such a disaster is not probable
:his year, but unfavorable precipita;ion
will continue to be excessive as
ilready appears in the western cot:on
belt. Of course a big crop of cotion
cannot be produced in a wet year.
ine uutch Prophet's advice to the
'armers is to plant corn and other
?ood crops in abundance.
Drought Broken.
Two Jews were on a journey on a
hot summer day. "Have you anything
with you Matthias?" asked
Dne.
"Yes, a bottle of wine. What have
rou, Moses?"
"Dried tongue."
"Good. We'll divide our provisons."
Matthias produced his wine and it
vas divided. Then he asked his fel
uw traveler 10 Dring out his provisons.
"I?" said Moses.
"Why, yes, the dry tongue you
said you had."
"I haven't got one now," was the
:ool reply.?Boston Transcript.

Paris, April 19.?The res^onsibili-'
ty of the German emperor for tlie
war and the means of bringing him
to trial by one of the allied governments,
probably Belgium, have been
definitely determined upon by the
council of four. This follows the
definite decision on the terms of reparations
for war damages, whereby
$.",000,000,000 must be paid within
the next two years, and an inter-allied
commission assess the remaining
damage for a period of thirty years,
beginning May 1, 1921.
