There is no denying the world's need for goods, nor the ability of the industry of the United States to supply a part of that need. The adjustments yet to be made are many. But they are the concern of statesmen and financiers; they are problems in government and mathematics, and not in production and consumption. mi ? c 4.1? ? -i J i ? . J j. lie yiuuuuwvuy ui uie w una is aumittedly higher than before the war, and its earning power and buying power is greater. The conditions of trade may be changed by the rules of government, but the needs of peoples are permanent. And, as has been pointed out, the figures issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the United States, indicating the great growth of the export trade of the nation, give little apparent rea son for any permanent depression. In spite of all the uncertainties of the reconstruction period, in spite of the embargoes and restrictions, ' in spite of the falling prices of commodities and the lack of ships, the exports for February reached a total of $587,990,000. This indicates a total for the fiscal year ending June 30 of no less than $6,500,000,000, which surpasses by more than two hundred millions the total for 1917, the record year heretofore.?Guaranty Trust Company. I MADE TWO RECORDS. S. A. L. Engineer Knows How to Speed Engine and Sell Ronds. Olar, May 3.?On April 25 Seaboard passenger train Xo. 2, driven by Frank Wilson, an engineer who has acquired the name of "Casey Jones" by the remarkable way in which he handles his engine, was charged with violating an ordinance of the town by going through at full speed and was summoned by Mayor O. B. Lain to answer the charges Thursday evening. The results were somewhat interesting. Engineer Wilson arrived in Olar early Thursday morning, and immediately surren dered himself to the mayor, telling the mayor he was aware of the fact that court would not convene until that night, but that he had done some good work selling Victory bonds in Savannah and he wanted to offer his services to Olar that day, being extremely anxious to see the loan put through. The services of Mr. Wilson were accepted and it was quickly seen that he could speed the Victory loan as quickly as he could his engine. He was instrumental in securing loans amounting to $6,900 during the day. He not only sold bonds, but thoroughly convinced every man he talked with that there is at least one Christian running an engine over the Seaboard road. He is an enthusiastic prohibitionist, claiming that he has never taken a drink of whiskey, neither has he ever used tobacco and abhors profanity. Mr. Wilson met his trial like a man. He explained to the court that he was the man running the engine, and that he was going as fast as his am /vi vt /\ tt? /mi 1 /I an V* i Kii 4 4-1^ n f In ft eugiue wuuiu uai i y mm, uut niau lie was ignorant of violating any law; that he had been running an engine 12 years and had never before been called into court. This order had been recently published, and it was an oversight of his that he did not see it. After making his statement, he asked the court's permission to say something in behalf of the bond issue. This privilege was granted him and he made an impressive address, which he claims was his first public speech. He was readily acquitted b^- the court. "Casey Jones" made his departure this morning with a large bouquet of flowers. Many of his new friends were at the train to bid him goodbye. He says he is coming again, and Olar will be gald to have him. ? i?i m SEE THE TANK FRIDAY. Charleston Tank No. 2 Expected to Arrive Here Thursday. Mr. S. C. Hollifield, Southern railway agent here, has received advices to the effect that the Charleston tank No. 2 will arrive here on Thursday afternoon or night. The tank will be at Barnwell on Thursday, and will be moved to Bamberg Thursday afternoon. Whether the tank will be brought here by the afternoon freight train or by the passenger is not stated, but Mr. Hollifield says that the tank will be here for display on the morning of Friday. The tank is scheduled to be here during the 9th and 10th. The tank is accompanied by a tank crew who will demonstrate the machine.

Local arrangements were made on Monday afternoon for the victory loan campaign. Mr. J. D. Copeland, Jr., is the chairman for Bamberg, and Mr. Copeland has already arranged his soliciting committees, which will make a canvas of the city before Saturday. At the meeting Monday arrangements were made for the transportation of the marine band, which will be here this morning, to various parts of the county. The band will first visit Denmark, where a concert will be given at 9 o'clock. Bamberg will be the next point visited, the band arriving here at 11 a. m. Dinner will * ' 1 f-L 1- - il T J oe servea nere, aner wmcn me uauu will be carried to Ehrhardt for the meeting at 3, and then on to Olar for the last meeting of the day. It is hoped to have some substantial subscriptions to report at the meeting at 11 o'clock today (Thursday), when subscriptions will be taken. The city's part of the loan is $123,700, divided among the three banks of the city. It was reported at the meeting that the banks of the city have agreed to help any prospective purchasers of bonds by the payment of 20 per cent, cash; the balance will be carried by 'the banks for six months at 5 per cent, interest. This will enable many to buy bonds who would not possibly otherwise be able to make the necessary financial arrangements. CITY ELECTION HELD. New Council Sworn in Yesterday. Only One Ticket Out.

Will Give Four Concerts at Patriotic Meetings in County. To the People of Bamberg County: There are only a few days yet regaining before our opportunity to buy Victory bonds will be gone. Many bonds will have to be sold between now and Saturday night if Bamberg county is to go "over the top." I fear that our people have not realized the seriousness of this obligation, and the absolute necessity of our county buying the amount of bonds which the government has allotted us. I cannot believe that our people would fail to subscribe for every dollar of our quota if they came fully to realize that this loan is one of victory and thanksgiving. Think of the price that our boys a/\vi aa 1 1 Arl 11 n avn + a rv a i* f ri,niw lr navts uccu Laiicu uyuii tu pa* - ? iiiiirv. of the seventy thousand American boys, to whom life was as sweet as it is to us, but who, today, are sleeping on the plains of France in order that we might have this victory and this peace! I challenge you to think of these boys and refuse to buy bonds on the ground that it is not convenient at this time. If we fail to respond to this call, 'then they will have a perfect right to look upon us as having deserted them, and tho cause for which they fought and died. I am sure that Bamberg county will not be willing that this be said of them in the generations to come. The banks of our county are making very liberal offers to carry the hrvndc: fnr those* who cannot nav cash. If you cannot pay for your bond now, see your bank and arrange to pay a part of it now, and carry the remainder until next fall. We must not and we cannot think of failure. J.

A bunch of boys sitting around the fire place at night after a hard | day's work in the mud. A silence so thick that it could be cut with a knife. In comes a boy from another billet and exclaims: "What is wrong? Come, sing us a song! Why sit with bowed down head? There are letters to write by the fire tonight. Don't act as if you were dead." Ancf this is the answer: "Oh, I'm sick and spent, my spirit is bent, and it seems that I'm all alone. We have no fun though the war is done. I guess we will never go home. \ "For here we stay day after day, and though I'm prepared for the worst, I remember the home that I left to roam when I joined the 81st. "There's a mother' there with graying hair, a lister brave and true. There's a world of love from heaven above, and best of all there's you. "We all took a chance when we came to France. We trained at PierrefoAtaine. While the shells flew we lay safe in the hay in a barn at Chateauvillan. "Then to Chatillon we came to the mud and rain. It seems we have been here for years. A lot of fools with a lot of mules, it would, move even an angel to tears. "And here we may stay for a year and a day, a division forgotten and lost. While we haul heavy loads and repair the French roads, our Uncle will pay all the cost. "Sherman was right and I don't like to fight and I'm tired of corn willie and beans.

U gave him a example, if a field is 5 miles around how long will it take a man walking 3 1-2 miles per hour to walk 2 1-4 times around it? Tommy ain't a man, so we sent his father. They went early this morning, and father will walk around the field and tommy will time him, hut please don't give my boy such examples agin, because my husband mus,t go to work every day to support his family."
