It is stated that in about thirty
days the decks will be cleared for
work to begin on Bamberg's new
waterworks system, made possible by
the citizens voting in bond issue OF
$4,000 for this purpose. The put
ting out of bond issue requires a
good deal of technical "red tape,
and there is no way Of hurrying it
along much, but it is announced that
everything will be in shape to begin
within the next month or so. When
the work is started, it will be pushed
to a rapid completion.

WANTS AUTO LICENSE.
Embree Citizen Asks that Legisla-
ture Impose Tax on Motor Cars.

Editors Bamberg Herald: 81 believe
it would be beneficial to every citizen
of the county of Bamberg, in fact to
every citizen of the State of South
Carolina, if the legislature would en-
act a law to put a regulated license
on automobiles of the State. 1 be-
lieve, further, that the license should
start at not less than $500 per an
mum for the smallest cars, and should
increase, in proportion to horsepow-
er, and that the largest cars should
be charged at least $4,000 yearly;
that this fund should be created as
a special fund for road building and
should not be spent for any other
purpose; that there should be a SUI
pervising board appointed for each
county to designate the places and
lay out the road work for which this
fund would be spent.
First. This would be exceedingly
beneficial to farmers in travelling to
and from our towns, and especially
in hauling their fertilizers from and
their products to the towns. Fur
ther than this, good roads or high
ways through and across our county
and others would enhance the value
Of the farmers property and prod
ucts, as we'll as all property in rural
districts.
Second. 1t would be of special
benefit to all automobile owners, as
the wear and tear of an automobile,
driven for year over the present
roads of Bamberg county, will depre-
ciate the car more than four times
the largest amount here specified,
than the car would depreciate if driv-
en- for a like period on the better
roads or highways of this and adjoin-
ing States.
1 believe that this kind of law
would appeal strongly to all automo-
bile owners, as good roads would
more than doubly reimburse them
for any license they had to pay; and
it certainly seems safe to believe that
it would please the non-automobile
owners, as the increase in taxes or
license, as it may be called, would
come only from such persons as own
ed automobiles.
I believe, further, if it should be-
so desired, that petition can be got
ten up and that ninety per cent. of
the automobile owners of our county
would sign it favoring law Of this
kind.
I believe that if our delegation can
be instrumental in getting a law OF
this nature enacted, that their names
will be honored for this good deed,
alone, long after they have passed
to the great beyond. Yours respect
fully, D. A. GARDNER.

Both sides are fighting in the open, the Germans having been driv- en from their trenches but resisting stubborniy have prevented the French from occupying them. Hand to hand fighting has marked the struggle, and at times the conteuding armies have been mingled so closely that the ar tillery commanders were ordered to cease firing for fear of slaughtering their own troops.

LANSING SENDS
 HIS 58TH NOTE
...,.... .--.---
from Further Seizure of Mails from the United States to Neutral Coun- tries-Note Exceedingly Sharp.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.- Secretary Lansing today cabled to England the American note of pro- test against the seizure of American mails, destined for neutral nations, by the British government. The note is said to be an exceedingly sharp one Iand demands that interference with American mails shall cease.
 While there have been numerous communications between the two na- tions regarding this question, the present note Is said to be most in sistant that the practice be discon- tinued. In reply to prior notes En- gland has steadily maintained that her action is strictly within the rights laid down by the international rules of war, and by many here it is held that this stand will not be changed by any correspondence between the two nations. It is openly stated that sterner measures will have to be adopted, and that it is quite probable that the administration will have to place an embargo upon tine eXporta- tion of arms, munitions and food stuffs to Great Britain before that country will be brought to terms.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 25.- General Trevine, Carranza com mander, is reported to be concentrat- ing thirty thousand Mexican troops along the Big Bend of the Rio Grande, south of Brewster County, Texas. The military officials are decidedly uneasy over the concentration of so large number of troops at this point, and General Funston is preparing to or der the Texas militia, now stationed at Brownsville, to the Big Bend coun- try for patrol duty. The Big Bend line is 93 miles long and is but lightly patrolled.
 Notwithstanding the apparently friendly attitude of President Carran- ga the officials are not inclined to trust his protestations of friendship in view of the concentration of so large body of troops along the bor- der, and, it is said, even if Carranza is personally friendly he has not sufti- cient auothority to prevent the federal army from invading Texas in the event the officers were to revolt and give the command for an invasion of the state.

CANDIDATES GETTING NERVOUS

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24.- The silence of Justice Hughes is be- ginning to worry the other aspirants for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. Despite the overwhelm- inging sentiment expressed by the Re- publican primary elections through out the country in favor of the Jus tice, he has as yet made no sign as to what course he will pursue.
 As the date for the converting of the convention draws nearer, there appears to be smaller chances of the Standpat Republicans and the Pro- gressives getting together on a candi- date. Hughes is strongly objected to by the Progressives. as we'll as Root, the choice of the standpatters. The Progressive statement that they are ready to unite with the regular re- publicans if an acceptable candidate is named appears to mean that no candidate will be acceptable but Roosevelt, and this means there is no hope for a combination, for the old line republicans will not accept him. As consequence those in touch with the situation are of the belief that during the early hours of the conven- tion an attempt will be made to create a stampede for the Colonel, and if this is unsuccessful the progressives will withdraw from the convention and hold another convention at which Mir.
