The North for Wilson.

H. NJ. Graham, Esq, returned a
day or two ago from Philadelphia,
where he went on professional busi-
ness. Mr.. Graham states that he
found a strong sentiment in favor
of Woodrow Wilson. The opinion
seems to prevail, he stated, that al
though they are Republicans, it
would not be safe to make change
at this time. Wilson, they feel, has
handled the delicate problems that
have confronted the nation during
the past two years with wisdom and
has carried the country safely
through the crisis with Europe and
Mexico, and that he is the man to
continue to carry on the destinies of
the United States.

Graded School Opens.

The Bamberg graded school began
it's 1916-1917 session on Monday
morning, with very satisfactory en-
rollment. Appropriate exercises for
the beginning of the session were
held and very interesting and in
structive talks were made by Drs. E.
0. Watson and J. B. Black, and the
pupils were classified. No lesson
work was attempted for the day. The
graded school has opened under most
favorable auspices, and it is believed
that the session will be one of the
best the school has enjoyed. Prof.
Allen and his able corps of assistants
were all in their places Monday morn
ing, and the students and teachers
are now hard down to regular school
work. During the summer some
much needed improvements have
been made to the school building, in
cluding the installation of septic
tanks and a sewerage system.

Manning Forces Organized.

The handsome vote given Richard
l. Manning Tuesday was the result of
thoroughly organized effort through
out this county. Mr.. c. F. Rizer was
the Manning organizer for Bamberg
county. Last Wednesday Mr.. Rizer
got busy and held a conference with
other Manning leaders in the county.
AS result of this conference, meet
ing was held "Wednesday night, at
which was present representative
citizens from Olar, Denmark, Ehr-
hardt and Bamberg. A central COM
mittee, composed Of Messrs. E. Z.
Bruce, of Bamberg; w. B. Chitty, OF
Olar; M. K. Zorn, of Denmark, and
DR.. J. H. Roberts, of Ehrhardt, was
elected. AS subcommittee under
the central committee, workers were
appointed for each voting precinct in
this county. The duty of these sub
committees was to see that every pos
sible Manning supporter was brought
to the polls to vote. The efficient
work Of these gentlemen is evidenced
by the magnificent vote Bamberg
county, gave to the governor. While
it was necessary in many counties to
raise funds by popular subscription
to pay the necessary expenses of the
Manning campaign for the second
primary, this was not needed in Bam-
berg county The various commit
tees were offered the use of as many
automobiles by patriotic citizens as
were necessary to carry out the plan
of campaigning.
The Denmark committee volun-
teered to take care of Lees and High
towers Mill, in addition to the home
box; the Olar committee looked af-
ter Colston and Govan; Ehrhardt at
tended to Kearse and Clear Pond,
while the Bamberg local committee
provided helpers for Midway, Far
rells. and Hunters Chapel. Excel
lent local committees were secured
for every box in the county, men who
had only the interest of the State at
heart. who worked necessarily with
out pay or compensation in any way,
other than the hopes and purposes OF
continuing for the grand old Palmet-
to State good government and
regime pledged to the en-
forcement of all laws equally in
every part of the State. The various
gentlemen-andt they are too numer-
Gus to mention-who helped to roll
up such a large vote for Governor
Manning are due the thanks Of the
people of the county and State gen.
orally.

The Biggest Bale Yet.

Bamberg county seems to be IA
nous for big bales of cotton. We have
reported several very large bales, but

way, was not talking for publication)
told us about the biggest one yet.
His bale weighed 734 pounds,
brought Is 5-8 cents a pound, net
ting Mr.. Mcmillan exactly $114.68.
The Herald will be glad to hear of
any other large bales in the county,
for it certainly gives us pleasure to
say that a bale of cotton sold for a
hundred dollars or more.

IS INDEED CAR COMPLETE"
Motor Camp is Queerly
Constructed and Equipped.

If you see what might be land
going submarine or an amphibious
shark, do not be startled. 1t prob
ably is merely the "Car Complete
and Roadside Camp out for trial
before it starts tomorrow for the Pa
cific coast.
The hybrid automobile has regu-
lation Stutz chassis which carries
body built as nearly as possible like
that of a motor boat, fitted with
more than a hundred devices to make
it the most completely equipped au-
tomobile that ever started across the
continent. 1t carries camping out
fit for Mr.. and Mrs. R. G. Law and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Mails, who will
ride in it.
Instead of a radiator, the car COM
plete has eight port holes in it's bat
tleship gray hood. In place of small
front lights there are red and green
lanterns at port and starboard. A
ships bell makes it sound like an
auxiliary fire truck.
Wicker chairs, made originally for
a motor boat, take the place of seats.
And at the end of the long, slim body
is miniature propeller, merely dec
orative, and flagstaff equipped with
electric lights so that the flag is il
Illuminated by night.
Tents, cots, pneumatic mattress
es, and all the other essentials of a
camping kit are packed on the run
ming board. A bark, a bell and a
whistle are the methods by which the
car complete will clear the road. 1t
has no ordinary wind shield, but
round pane of glass, like an i'm
mense google. When the car COM
plete makes a sudden stop a lever is
pressed and a red signal, like the
block arm on railway system,
swings out to warn machines fol-
lowing.-New York World.

Cradle Roll Reception.

Delightfully."- informal was the par
ty given by Mrs. w. D. Rhoad on
Thursday afternoon complimentary
to the members of the cradle roll of
Trinity Methodist church. Chairs
were arranged in the yard for the
comfort of the mothers, where for
some time they enjoyed animated
conversation; while the babies were
entertained by little Misses Lena
Rhoad, Jane and Elsie Rice, in a
small bungalow, furnished nicely
with tables, chairs, dolls and other
things which go to make a ''play
house." During the afternoon de-
licious refreshments were served by
the hostess, assisted by her sister,
Mrs. C. j. S. Brooker.
When member of the cradle roll
is three years old, he or she is pro-
noted to the primary department of
the Sunday-school. Mrs. Rhoad, who
has served faithfully for number
of years as superintendent of the
cradle roll department., has, during
that time, promoted many little ones,
still her roll numbers thirty-fve. She
is ever on the alert for recruits. The
roll is never on the decrease. The
babies never fail to receive their
birthday and Christmas cards. Ev
cry year since she has had this work
in charge, nice little sum has been
sent to the Epworth orphanage
through this department. No other
department in the whole church is
so full of possibilities. Mr.. Talmage
has truly said: "God has infinite re-
sources, and He can give presents Of
great value, but when He wants to
give the richest possible gift to a
household, He looks around all the
worlds and all the universe, and then
gives a little child.' The greatest
present IOQ ever gave OuI WOflu I1e
gave hundreds of years ago. In all
ages God has honored childhood. He
makes almost every picture failure,
unless there be a child playing on
the floor, or looking through the win
dow, or seated on the lap gazing into
the face of the mother. 1t was to
the cradle in which child was laid,
rocked by the waters of the Nile, that
God called the attention of history.
It was child that Christ set in the
midst of the squabling disciples to
teach humility. Now, mothers, our
babies are Gods gifts to us. Let us
honor Him by training them for His
service. Where is there a better
place to begin than the cradle?-

AN APPRECIATION.
E. HI. SOthern's Tribute to Charles
and Dan FrOhman.

"Why fear death? Death is only
a beautiful adventure.
Thus spoke Charles Frohman as he
stood with three other passengers,
his arms locked in theirs, upon the
slanting deck of the Lusitania as she
sank off the coast of Ireland, says
Mr.. Sothern, in the September Scrib-
ner's. At $50 p. m. on May Z, 1915,
the vessel was torpedoed by Ger
man submarine. Mr.. Frohman could
have had no hope of escape. He was
probably wounded by the explosion,
and one of his legs was permanent
,ly disabled from illness. He could
not walk without the help of a cane.
At such a crisis a mans soul
speaks and Charles Frohman's words
illuminate his life and shed a radi-
ance upon his death. God grant we
may greet the inevitable hour in
such wise when He shall strike for
US! A man who can speak thus at
such a moment can need no other
epitaph.
When Charles and Daniel Froh-
man entered upon their careers as
managers the business of the thea
tre was frequently conducted on a
haphazard plan. If venture sue
ceeded all went we'll. In the event
of failure the actors very often suf-
fered loss. Any irresponsible person
could take out play and obtain time
in various theatres. l have myself
been a victim of such adventures.
Owing greatly to the Frohman fac
ulty for organization and fair deal
ing, theatrical affairs were soon con-
Quoted on a sounder basis. The
Frohman word was as good as bond
to any man. This was Charles Froh-
mans especial pride.

Wars Demands
(From the Washington Post)

the fact that many Of the European
plants have been closed down as the
sphere OF war has gradually been e1-
tended. while MANY American fac
tories have only recently been in a
position to produce at maximum ca
pacity.
Moreover. the exports of munitions
of war are merely getting into full
swing at the present time. Shipments
are just beginning on orders which
were given nine months ago. The new
plants established as a result Of war
orders are now beginning to turn out
supplies, which are going forward,
adding to the export figures.
The high mark of breadstuff eXpor-
tations was reached in 1914 and early
in 1915 when the demand in Europe
almost exceeded the supply in the
United States The demand for mu-
nitions of war was equally great. but
It is only now that it is being met
by American factories. II has been
argued that since America could sup
ply the European belligerents so
quickly with munitions. this country
could easily afford to wait for war
before making its own preparations
The fact is. however. that even the
European belligerent had to wait for
the building of new American fac
tories.
