THK LAST CALL.
The committee appointed to raise
, the funds for the malaria eradica^
tion work must complete its work
within the next few days. Captain
Fisher must have the answer of the
CltV 01 tsamDerg to me yiupuaai
anihilate the mosquito here. If a
negative answer is made, Captain
Fisher will proceed elsewhere. There
are a number of other cities in South
Carolina that envy Bamberg her opportunity,
and jvill gladly accept the
offer of the U. S. public health service
and the State board of health.
If you value your own health, the
health of your family, the health of
your neighbor, if you sympathize especially
with the poorer people who
are more afflicted than anybody else,
then heed the words of the committee
when you are called on. If you
have already been called on and fail
ed to avail yourself of this privilege,
then hunt up the committee and correct
your mistake.
If you have an interest in Bamberg,
make your pledge. If you have
already made your money here, do
i
it out of gratitude, that the next gen,
?ration may not be afflicted with malaria.
If you have yet to make your
"pile," help to make the town a decent
place to live in.
Sixteen thousand dollars is a mere
bagatelle to Bamberg. Almost any
one person in the city who has con,
tended with mosquitoes and malaria
would give the entire sum to get
j health again?if it were necessary
and within the range of possibility.
If you have been so fortunate as
to escape from the tentacles of this
fearful malady, you are surely human
enough to want to see your
neighbor freed of it.
The U. S. government says that it
can be done. It says that it is merely
a matter of money on the part of
Bamberg. People have left here in
jjj&i
the past because of malaria; more
<, people will leave here in the future
if it is not eradicated. People have
also refused to come to Bamberg because
of the prevalence of malaria
here.
Our prediction is that Bamberg
will be the most prosperous little city
\ i
In South Carolina, and the finest
. i
t town in the State, if we get rid of
\
this curse.
By,the way, if you doubt the effectiveness
of the malaria campaign,
don't knock the project until you
have investigated it. It is very easy
to ascertain the results of the cleanup
in other cities. This eradication
work is new here, hut it is not new
in many other places. There's Hartsville,
for instance. Suppose you
make inquiry as to how effective the
A '
clean-up was there. The work has
not been completed, hut the results
<so far obtained may surprise you. Do
not put your opinion against facts.
ITS WORTH TO YOU.
There have been a number of very
serious cases of malaria in Bamberg
this summer and autumn. These
cases have not been confined to any
one blass. High and low are susceptible
to malaria. It may be your
turn next. If you knew that malaria
would take from your family one
you love next year?or perhaps yourself?you
would not hesitate to,mortgage
your home to get money to keep
ifc away. But it is not necessary for
you to mortgage your home. You
caa perform your whole duty without
doing that. Nobody expects it. But
you can contribute according to your
ability, and there is not a man in
Bamberg who cannot afford to contribute
something toward the malaria
eradication campaign. Give something.
We believe that you will be
proud of your part.
It may be the means of saving several
lives in Bamberg. Is there a
single life in Bamberg that is not
worth $16,000?
AX OPPORTUNITY.
The South is beginning to feel the
wave of prosperity that is sweeping
the country. The North and the
West and the East have been experiencing
this prosperity for some years
and now the wave is coming South.
Nothing could more forcibly attest
this fact than the shortage of houses.
This shortage is felt not only in Bamberg
but all over the State. In practically
every town in South Carolina
there are not adequate housing facilities.
This has but one explanation?people
are coming South who
have not heretofore lived here.
What is Bamberg doing to get her
share of this "new population?" If |
prospective new residents do not come j
to Bamberg they will go elsewhere
in the State or the South. The town
that does not welcome the new arrivals
not with open arms will feel
it after the wave of migration ceases.
Now is the greatest opportunity Bamberg
has ever experienced to attract
newcomers. Once people locate here,
it is not very likely that they will
desire to go elsewhere, but once they
settle in other towns, it is likewise
unlikely that they will come to Bamberg.
Let's get in line.
PEANUTS AS MONEY CROP.
Big Deanand For This Product, and
Many Farmers Will Plant.
In casting about for a substitute
for cotton, the cultivation of which
will be rendered very difficult hereafter
on account of the Mexican boll
weevil, many Bamberg farmers have
hit upon the happy idea of growing
peanuts. While peanuts have never
been grown commercially in this
county, it has been demonstrated
since man remembereth that no finer
peanuts are grown than those produced
in Bamberg county. The land
land here is ideally adapted to the
growing of this crop, and most progressive
farmers have planted for
years a small acreage each season
for use on their own farms. As a
hog feed, the peanut is said to be a
most superior crop.
Now that other crops are .necessary.
it is understood that extensive
plans are being made to grow peanuts
on a large scale in the county.
With the prospect of a shortage of
cotton seed in this section, there is a
very strong demand for peanuts, ana
many of the oil mills throughout the
State are installing peanut crushing
- '? TA ^ /\WPi+AA/l flio t j
macmnerv. it is uuucioiuuu tuww
very important local announcements
are to be made soon in this section.
Strong bids have been made for peanuts
by out of the State concerns,
and there is already considerable rivalry
in the market for Bamberg county
peanuts.
It is stated that peanuts are worth
on the market today 14 cents per
pound in the hulls. It is further
stated that a yield of 1,000' pounds
can easily be made on good average
land. In addition to the peanut cake
and oil derived from the crushing of
the nuts, peanut hay is described as
being one of the finest feeds to be
had.
Bamberg county is preparing to go
into the fight against Mr. B. Weevil
with its coat off.- It is a well known
fact that a great many farmers are
going to be hit and hit hard for a
year or two after the coming of the
weevil?and he is already here in
great armies. No serious damage
has been done this year, but the discerning
farmer knows that it will be
a heavy risk to plant another large
cotton crop.
With tobacco an already an established
crop in the county, peanuts
will offer another valuable crop. The
difficulty heretofore has been the
lack of marketing facilities for the
peanut crop. This obstacle will be
removed another year, and an announcement
will be made within the
next few weeks, whereby the entire
crop in Bamberg countv will be taken
here at home.
Most farmers will continue to plant
a few acres of cotton per plow, and
it is stated that under weevil conditions
this is a safe risk to run, but
to be dependent on cotton under the
conditions that will prevail all over
South Carolina, practically, will be
nothing short of inviting suicide, according
to experts who ought to,
know. A few acres of cotton, however,
may be cultivated under circumstances
outlined by the farm demonstration
service with reasonable
certainty of a profit, but the acreage
urged is small, so that in case of entire
failure, the planter will not be
left on the lonely island without a
canoe to get to land on.

SINGAPORE TO HAVE TAXIS
Far Eastern City Will Abandon the
Rickshaw, Long Used as Method
of Transportation.
According to advices from Consul
General Edwin N. Gonzales at Singapore,
that city is to have an internal
transportation system of thoroughly
modern taxicabs.
Whether American automobile manufacturers
will secure the order for
these motors is.problematical, but The
most significant part of the news is
that it marks a further development
of the use of modern methods in the
far East.
For several years in Singapore
there has been a most consistent and
vigorous agitation against the instil
tution of the well-known rickshaws.
Most of this agitation came from the
tongue and pen of the educated Chinese,
who maintain that the system of
making a horse out of men is wrong
from the standpoint of the degrading
influence which it has on the individuals
as well as the harm it is claimed
to work upon the coolies.
Distances are great in most far
Eastern cities, and while the rickshaw
makes transportation reasonably convenient
and comfortable, the rickshaw
most certainly is a primitive vehicle
and doomed to early abandonment because
of the rapid advance now being
made in the industrial and social
life of the far East.
The new company to operate in
Singapore is to be officially known as
the Singapore Motor Taxicab and
Transport company, Ltd., and will
have capital of $3o0,000. The initial
equipment will be made up of 40
landaulet taxicabs, five one-ton trucks
and five three-quarter ton trucks.
Singapore has a population of 300,000.
Knew Something About Mothers.
Ralph went to visit a neighbor's
little boy. While there another boy
came to play also; but he was something
of a bully and Ralph did not like
him. When he reached home he told
his mother some of the mean things
the boy had said and done. 'He was
so disagreeable I am sure nobody could
like him," he said. Then after a moment's
meditation he looked up into
her fcce and added: "I suppose,
though, his mother loves him, no mat

The Kaiser's Kitchen.
In what is destined to be the last
Btage of its travels, the field kitchen
of William Hohenzollern, which had
|" followed the former Kaiser in all his
wanderings about Europe during the
war, is on its way to the United
j States. As if to give the changing of
; hands a more significant aspect, German
prisoners of war were requisi1
tioned to load the field kitchen?with
! all its elaborate accessories?aboard
! the westbound transport at St. Nazaire.
The portable "kochenhaus"
j shows no sign of the wear and tear of
i war, indicating a certain remoteness
j to the battle front of all connected
i with the once imperial suite. The
trophy, it is intended, shall be added
to a notable collection of war relics
j at the American capital; whether it is
! to be utilized in the ways approved
by the former kaiser i^, of course, another
matter.
Dreadful Threat

Ing picture director to the members
of his company. "Do you actors think
that you can stroll into tne studio at
half-past ten every morning and get
