The Statement in last weeks
Herald that the cashier of the

bia had resigned was erron-
eous. The teller had resigned,
called away, thus causing an accumu-
lation of work, which Mr.. A. NJ. Den

Numbers of mortgages over real
estate are being satisfied Of record
each day in the clerk of courts Office
for Bamberg county. At the rate
that has been made so far more
mortgages against Bamberg county
lands will be cancelled this fall than

the county, provided the present rate
rate continues until January.
The Herald calls especial attention
this week to the page advertisement
o. the Peoples Bank and the ,Bamberg
Banking Company, and the advertise
ment of the Citizens Exchange Bank,
of Denmark, advertising Liberty
Bonds. The government has no ap-
preparation for this advertising, and
these banks, realizing the value of
newspaper space in such campaign,
contracted for the use of this space,
paying for it themselves. We hope
the people will appreciate their mo-
tives, and that many bonds will be
sold.
The apportionment allotted by the
government authorities to be sub
scribed by Bamberg and the sur
rounding counties to the second Lib
erty Loan is as follows: Bamberg,
S240,S00; Colleton, s123,340; Hamp-
ton, s113,540; Barnwell, S151,90O,
and Orangeburg, s707,2S0. We don't
know how the authorities arrived at
these figures, but it will be noted
that the figures for Bamberg, very
small county, are considerably in ex-
cess of all the others except Orange
burg. 1t is hoped that each county
can live up to what is expected of it.
