BALr0UR MAKES REPLY
 TO PEACE MOvH

LONDON, Nov. 20.-A. J. Balfour, secretary for foreign affairs replying in the house of commons yesterday to a peace motion proposed by H. B, Leesmith, liberal member for North ampton, declared:
 "The aims for which Great Brit. ain entered the war were not and are not either imperialistic of vindictive but one and all are needed for the double purpose of the emancipation and security of Europe"
 MT. Balfour asked the house tc show by an overwhelming majority that: We believe in the cause ir which we are struggling and which VI know we can bring to a successful termination. Great as are tn, sacrifices already made. we are read! to continue them and continue then indefinitely, until the great righteoul and unselfish objects we have 1T view are finally secured"
 Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor O the exchequer, amid loud cheers, nov ed closure, which was carried, 28: to 33.
 Mir. Leesmith's motion was ther negatived without division.

GERMAN POLITICAL OBJDCT
 IN ITALY PROVES FAILURE

ROME, Nov. 20.-The German plan has failed in regard to it's political object. says semi-ofndal statement issued here today. Strong confidence Is felt that it will fail to accomplish its military object. The military sit- 'uation. although difficult, is being held in hand, while the political sit uation Is excellent. All the living forces of the nation, without the least Encouragement, are united for the att tainment of the supreme aim, remain ing at the side of the allies and re- pulsing the threats and cajoleries of the enemy.
 Naturally the military situation has been overturned completely since 1t has been changed from progressive penetration of the enemy's territory, aiming at Laibach and Triest. into a war of maneuver on the Venetian plains.
 "The retreat caused a military cris- is which gradually is being solved by the assembling of troops on a pre- viously established line and by the rushing up of Anglo-French forces. While this is being done, fighting is going on all the time 90 as to delay ss much as possible the advance of the Austro- Germans, who desire to take advantage of the situation.
 "The Italian army, faithful to the orders of its leaders, is fighting with a high morale and firm spirit. Some time must necessarily elapse before an equilibrium has been re-established, but all existing conditions give con. ndence that the fate of the great bat tie initiated twelve days ago would be concluded in our favor. "The Italians are confronted by an imposing concentration of the enc my's troops and materials, under or. ders of the German general stan, aim. ing to obtain on our front a definite decision in the European war by crushing Italy militarily and also by an internal political upheaval.
 Instead, an unprecedented moral union throughout the country has been caused, as the following exam ples prove:
 "The Catholic party voluntarily has dropped all polemics regarding the answer of Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister. to the papal note and has declared itself ready to per. form every duty imposed by patriot ism.
 Even the Osservatore Romano, the papal official organ, has urged Catho- lies fully to accomplish their civic duty.
 "The confederation of workmen, re presenting the whole class. has pub lished a manifesto urging that the mo- ther country be supported by every means"

GERMANY'S MAN POWER
 ALMOST EXHAUSTED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 20.- Cable reports reaching here from Switzerland say Germany has reach. ed the crisis so far as her man power is concerned. For three years, accord. ing to these dispatches, Germany has lost on an average of 100000 men annually and this number will at least be equalled in 1918. It is con. tended that to continue the war on the same scale for another year the Germans must have at their com. mand a reserve of at least two mil lion men, whereas they actually will have a reserve of only one and one half million. including youths of the class of 1920.

Damage From Cold Spell.

= The farmers report. that much
damage was done by the recent cold
weather. With a few exceptions, it
seems that the entire oat crop was
killed, or so badly damaged as to ne
cessitate replanting. This was the
heaviest damage reported, as the far
mers were expecting to raise large
quantities of oats this year for feed
stuff.
The wheat and rye crops appear
not to have been seriously damaged
These crops are hardy, and are rarely
affected by cold weather.
Practically all garden crops have
been totally destroyed. For the first
time in many years onions, and like
hardy plants, were killed.
Or. George F. Hair, who operates
a large truck farm on Yonge's Island,
stated Saturday that his entire crop
of cabbage plants had been killed,
entailing a loss of several thousand
dollars. Not only were his plants
killed, but the crops of all other
truckers along the coast. DR.. Hair
says that anyone who wishes cab
bage this year, will have to plant the
seed, as it will be impossible to Sc
cure plants. What few plants that
escaped the freeze in Florida, he
said. were quickly bought up by the
large truckers.
DR.. Hair also had fine crops of
beets and rutabaggers, all Of which
had been killed by the cold. These
crops were about ready for market
when the cold spell wiped them out.

The Weeks Weather.

Monday morning showed every In
dication of there being snow. About
daybreak, sleet began to fall, follow
ed later by pretty lively downfall OF
flake snow. However, by early morn
ing the clouds broke, and the sun
shone forth again in all its glory.
The following is the weather fore
cast for this week:
"For South Atlantic and East Gulf
States: The weather will be moder-
ately cold the beginning of the week,
followed by higher temperature
Tuesday and Wednesday, and moder-
ate temperature thereafter. Except
for rain Wednesday or Thursday, the
week will be generally fair"

Carlisle School Notes.

Last Wednesday afternoon the two
basket ball teams from Carlisle
school journeyed down to Ehrhardt
returning that night with two vic
tories to talk about. The Carlisle
boys defeated the boys team of the
Ehrhardt school by a score of 19 tc
s. The Carlisle girls swamped the
Ehrhardt girls to the tune of % to
3 In spite of the apparent one-side'
edness of the scores, both games
were exceedingly we'll played and the
teams were evenly matched.
The senior class met last week and
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, A. T. Whetsell; vice president
Eugenia Fox; secretary, Octavia Var
ley; treasurer, A. V. Cabral. There
are plans on foot by this class to put
out a year book. This work has been
put in the hands of committee.
The Florentine musicians gave
their lyceum number last Friday
evening. These musicians were by

was large and appreciative.

Gen. Miles and the Recruit.

"When Gen. Miles was in Porto
Rico as commanding general OF the
United States troops, raw recruit
from Tennessee was detailed for duty
as his orderly.
The recruit knew absolutely Moth
ing of military etiquette, and on re-.
ceiving orders to report to the COM
manding general for duty he saunter,,
ed over to the tent of that dignitary,
where the general was in conference
with several staff officers.
Entering; the tent without the for
mality of salute, the Tennessean
remarked, We'll, Miles, did you want
to see me?''
Gen. Miles bristled up. Don't
call me Miles," he began irritably.
Then the humor of the situation
dawned on him, and he added with q
grim That's too formal. Call
me Nelse."
Then he proceeded to read the re-:
cruit a lesson that he never forgot on
the amenities of military hfe.-Mil-z

tanning dialogue about japanese on

The. Fairgrounds Matter.

+ Editors Bamberg Herald: See
recommendation in presentment OF
the grand jury, September, 1915,
term of court:
We recommend that no live stock
of any kind be allowed on the court
house square, and that the Civic
league of Bamberg be allowed to
beautify and ornament the court
house square in front, and rear OF
court house.
See recommendation in present
ment of the grand jury September,
1916, term of court: \
We call attention of the court to
the fact that a play ground has been
placed upon the square on the back
of the court house by the Civic
league. While we regret to interfere
with any matter of the league, yet by
reason of the operation of this play
ground, it causes Sc much noise and
disturbance, as to amount to a nuis-
ance, and we respectfully recommend
that the Civic league be requested to
remove the equipment to some other
portion. In the event the Civic
league does not take the necessary
action, within reasonable time, say
80 days, that the supervisor remove
the same.
The above did not constitute the
main Objectionable feature. The la
dies in placing the things, not being
familiar with the surroundings, put
them innocently in the wrong place,
especially the slide which overlooked
adjoining Objectionable premises,
causing daily embarrassments, for
which several of the grand jury can
vouch. We knew of several ladies
who stopped their girls from this
place on this account. The court
house officials we think stand ready
to contribute as much according to
their means to a play ground for the
children as anyone in town, or for
anything else that the ladies are con-
nected with, for it is an undeniable
fact that we "sure" do love the la
dies and the children. In case the
ladies do not use the grounds for
making "a park beautiful we see
no good reason why COWS should not
be tied on back square, as we think
the grand jury had in view the pro-
lection of this park" in mentioning
live stock.
The paraphernalia is all here at
court house. Very respectfully,
OFFICIALS.

Meeting of U. ID. c.

The regular meeting of the chap
ter was held Tuesday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. G. F. Hair, with
Mrs. John Cooner as assistant hos
tess. The regular routine of busi-
ness was quickly dispatched. Each
year prizes are awarded the best pa
pers written by student of Carlisle
school and a member of the high
school on historical subjects, select
ed by a committee. Mrs. G. Frank
Bamberg and Mrs. A. w. knight re-
ported that they had given the sub
jects to the students Of both schools
and felt sure that quite number
would prepare papers in the contest.
Two new members, Mrs. Fields and
Miss FRANKIE Folk, were cordially re-
ceived into the chapter. During the
historical period a paper written by
Mr.. John Fielder on his personal ex-
periences during the latter port of the
war was read by Mrs. w. D. Rhoad.
Mrs. Harry Murphy then read an
article written by Mrs. J. R. Owens
telling of the faithfulness of their
black nanny during the trying
vicissitudes of war, and containing
many amusing incidents connected
with her life. During the social half
hour a delightful salad course was
served.

A Word to Correspondents.

For the past several months, The
Herald has been printing a goodly
number of country news letters, and
we wish to thank our correspondents.
But The Herald is not quite satisfied.
We need more correspondents; and
we need for some of those we have to
be more regular. We are very an
xious to develop this department of
your county paper until it will cover
every happening in every part of the
county. 1t is the earnest wish of The
Herald's management to make this
newspaper the leading county weekly
in the State, and if our friends will
help us out in this respect, we will
do it. Now, what we want to do right
at this time is to secure the support
of some more correspondents, and we
would like for all of our reporters to
be as regular every week as clock
work; that's what counts, regulari-
ty. We are soon going to devise
something that is going to be mighty
interesting to our correspondents.
We won't state just now what it is,
but we will say that The Herald force
of reporters is going to be heard
from. For all those who will pledge
their efforts to assisting The Herald
to get the news from their sections,
we are going to make very attrac-
tive proposition. We want a CORE
spondent at every school in the coun-
ty. Now, if no news is appearing
from your school, and you can write,
let us have your name. If you can
not write yourself, you surely must
know someone who can; suggest his
or her name. The Herald is not con-
tent merely to have correspondent
in each of the various sections of the
county; we want reporters.

Legislative Notes.

DR.. J. B. Black, senator from Bam-
berg county, stated Monday that
there are three liquor measures be-
fore the senate to be acted upon this
week. They are: The DuRant bill,
which allows quart per month upon
a doctors prescription. under certain
conditions; the Richey bone-dry bill,
which outlaws liquors in all quanti-
ties and for all purposes; and the
"substitute' measure, which allows
one quart a month, instead of one
gallon, otherwise practically the
same as the present law. The opin-
ions of the senators, said DR.. Black,
widely differ as to these measures,
although it seems almost certain that
the Richey bill will not be passed by
the senate. AS this is the last week
of the general assembly, the senate
has much work before it, said the
senator.
Representative Carter stated that
he has bill in the house looking to
carrying out the recommendations OF
the recent good roads meeting in re-
gard to timber carts. The bill would
eliminate the use of two-Wheel carts
on the public roads, except under
special permission Of the county COM
missioners, and imposes a tax upon
all four-wheel timber carts.
Mr.. Carter stated that some sort
of a highway commission bill would
doubles be passed, so as to conform
to the federal requirements for gov
ernment aid to be secured by the
State. A small percentage of the
proposed automobile tax, about tWen-
ty per cent, would go to the high
way commission for it's support and
maintenance; the remainder going to
the various counties.
No measure other than the timber
cart bill, has been proposed relating
especially to Bamberg county at this
session.

The Hell Gate Bridge.

New England people will be inter-
ested in the announcement that the
New York Connecting railroad, Wnlcn
joins the New Haven system with the
PENNSYLVANIA, by way of the Hell
Gate bridge and the Long Island tun-
mel, will probably be ready for opera
taon on March l, and that the Boston
Washington express trains will be
restored to the service at an early
Gate. The Colonial Express and Fed
eral Express were formerly ferried
around Manhattan Island, but the de-
lays and danger incident to the prac-
tice caused it to be given up about
five years ago. Thereafter the Fed
eral Express was routed over the
Poughkeepsie bridge, but this train
was discontinued altogether last win
ter, because it was found to be no
longer possible to operate the train

where delays were unavoidable on ac-
count of heavy freight traffic. The
new link between Boston and Wash
ington should, short Of an earth
quake, be permanent. 1t has not yet
been decided what further through
service will be afforded between Bos-
ton and points West and South by
use of the new connection. The New
Haven will be in the unique position,
of having two terminals on Manhat-
tan Island, though there is no indi-
cation that any great amount OF the
New York traffic will be diverted
from the Grand Central. That termi-
nal is good investment for the rail-
road companies by reason of the rent
ed adjunct properties and the New
Haven is not likely to withdraw from
the arrangement for the present
Springfield Republican.
