CLEANUP DAYS NAMED.
Monday and Tuesday, April and 3,
Designated.

The Civic league of the town of
Ramberg desires to direct the atten-
ton of Bamberg people to the fact
that Monday and Tuesday, April ?
and >. has been set apart and deslg-
mated as cleanup days. This act is
in keeping with the established Gus
tom of several years, and it is to be
hoped that the attention given the
day this year will surpass any date
OF the past.
The league does not consider 1t
necessary to point out and name the
several things that should be done
on these days. for the term, 'clean-
up," is self-eXplanatory, and II
every citizen of the town will. but
make a personal application of its
meaning to the premises of his or
her home and the town officials to
the streets and other places under
their control the result will be
marked improvement in the appear
ance of our little city. Why should
the premises of our homes, our
streets, parks, play grounds and other
places of the town be kept untldy
and unclean? Why should trash and
other vegetable matter be permitted
to accumulate to the disgust of the
eye and to the detriment of our
health? Remember, it is too late
after the germ has been bred and the
resultant disease has its death grip
upon some cherished member OF
members of our homes. Why not
spend few dollars or expend little
labor for the purpose of making the
premises of our homes presentable
and attractive, and our town clean
and free from disease? Why not
make Bamberg a "City Beautiful?'
Will you help? Then remember April
2 and 8, cleanup days.

League.

Educational Month.

April is educational month for
the thousands of Methodists in South
Carolina. A great campaign will be
conducted during that month in an
effort to raise S3O0,000 for the bene-
, fit of Methodist colleges and schools,
including Carlisle school. Meetings
have been scheduled throughout every
Methodist church in the State, and
from every pulpit the appeal for these
great institutions will be sent out to
Methodist men and women.
The great work that has been ac-
cumplished by these institutions and
the efficient service rendered by them
to their denomina tion and State have
established their place in the educa-
tional realm. Men from Wofford
have occupied many places of leader
ship and women instructed at Lam
der and Columbia have made Won
derful contributions to the intellec-
tual and social growth of our COM
monwealth.
The aggregate value of the prop
critics owned by these colleges is
something over 100000, with an en-
dowment combined of only about
s23O,0O0. The three institutions are
in debt to the amount of nearly
100000, and this campaign is being
waged with the idea of putting them
squarely upon their financial feet,
and to add to their scanty endow-
ment funds. Notwithstanding the
lack of funds in the past, these
church Institutions have educated
boys and girls in a wholesome atmos-
phere at the average cost of S109 per
student annually, while State owned
institutions of learning average the
annual expenditure per student of
s227.

this section of the Orangeburg dis
trict are as follows, giving the

TWENTY THOUSAND NEEDED.
Lieut.. Cooper Urges Cooperation in
Securing Naval Recruits.

Editors The Bamberg Herald:-At
this critical time in our national life
it is of supreme Importance that the
navy-"our first line of defense
be recruited up, to full strength.
Twenty thousand men are needed i'm
mediately to properly man the ships
already built or nearing completion.
regret to have to state that the
most serious obstacle we have to
overcome in securing recruits in this
State is the objection of the parents.
Some parents not only use their in
fluence to prevent their sons from
enlisting but in many cases refuse to
sign the age certificates required,
even when the applicant is of proper
age.
The need of our country for more
men for the navy is urgent and
should be given first consideration by
all Americans worthy of the name.
Furthermore the safety of the
country demands that the present
high morale of our navy be main
tanned. In other words We not only
need more men but these should be
of the highest type. To accomplish
this, all parents, teachers, ministers
and other leaders of community
thought should be urged to inculcate
in every young man the love of coun-
trv and the sublime beauty of service
to that country and the personal ma
ture of. this service. Such service
cannot be delegated to our neighbor.
No man has a right to sit back and
bemoan the unprepared. state of our
country without first doing his ut
most to help prepare. If disaster
overtakes us the individual and more
especially to the leaders OF pubic
thought will go the lions share of the
blame. Arouse public sentiment TO
the necessity and the battle is half
won.
This duty should be cheerfully per-
formed by each one without thought
of reward. Fortunately however, IN
the case of our navy, the reward is
fully commensurate with the service.
This feature should be given careful
consideration by all parents truly IN
terested in the welfare and advance
ment of their sons.
In addition, it is the patriotic priv
ilege of every mother and father to
teach their boy that his first duty is
to his country, for by enlisting now
he may help to safeguard his posterl-
tv for all time. In addition he hon
ors himself and them by offering his
service whether it be accepted or not.
It is therefore apparent, at this time,

Methodist Missionary Meeting.

The March meeting of our society
was held at the church with Mrs.
Frank Bamberg, the superintendent
of social service, as leader. Several
Bible references, touching on Christ's
aid to the sick, were read by the
leader. Prayer especially for the
president and the cabinet at this
most critical time was offered by one
of the members. Several matters OF
business were transacted.
Afterwards the leader announced
the topic: Social Legislation Re-
garding Public Health" Mrs. W. 2.
Jones kindly read an original paper
bearing directly on the subject before
us. This paper was so fine that the
writer was requested to hand it to the
secretary for publication. "A Cate
chism on Social Service was read
The leader asked the questions, and
a number of members answered the
same. Mrs. Cleckley read an article
as did Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Padgett
also. Some of the subjects were:

ease" and Efforts to Conserve Com
munity HEALTH

SOUTHERN FOODS POPULAR.
Northerners, Want Recipes for Ban-
berg Dishes. &

Editors The Bamberg Herald:--f
am just in receipt of letter from
Mr.. w. L. Carrigan saying that some
of the New England hospitals are
preparing rice from The recipes fur
nished by this writer, and that the
dishes are pronounced . texcellent" by
both doctors and patients. Mr.. Car
rigan requests the recipes for cook
ing corn meal hoe cakes as we cook
them. and with what dishes are these
hoe cakes eaten. He states that
cooking in New England is fast be-
coming lost art, that the people are
buying bread, cakes and, pies from
the bakers, and meat and vegetables
in tin cans, and eat these by merely
warming them over" He is also
interested in our sweet potatoes, so
much so till he will have me ship
some seed to him, also some to a
friend in another part of New Eng
land, and will see if our potatoes will
grow with them. If they can sue
ceed in growing the Nancy Halls and.
Porto Ricas, such as we grow, they
will stop planting the white or Irish
potato then and there. l hope he can
grow them, and I see no reason why
they can't. for New Jersey has built
up a name and fame for sweet pota-
toes that even Bamberg county could
envy. But last fall 1 sent a lady,
whose father owns farm in New
Jersey, some potatoes and she from
her childhood ate of the famous "Jer-
sey sweets" grown on her fathers
farm. but when she ate of the ones
sent, she swore by Allah that the
Jersey sweets were poplar roots when
compared with the sort l sent. Her
opinion is that the low country OF
South Carolina produces the finest
potatoes in the world. She is good
authority, for she has travelled ex-
tensively, not only in this country,
but abroad. Later on will let you
know what Mr.. Carrigan thinks OF
our sweet potatoes. If l can get
Northern market for sweet potatoes,
it will be a gold mine for the farmers,

sister. She used it to build up after
nervous breakdown. She was well

Middle aged women about to experi-

profit by the experience of thousands
of noble women who have gone through
the same period with little or no pain,
misery or discomfort.
DR.. Piercc's Favorite Prescription is
and has been for nearly so years Just
the medicine. 1t Is not secret pre-
scription, for its ingredients are print
cd on the wrapper; it's temperance
medicine, q glycerlc extract from roots.
Not only does 1t build up the entire
system and make 1t strong and vigor-
Gus enouGh to withstand the organic
disturbances, but it has quieting ef-
feet upon the feminine organism.
Every woman should be careful that
the liver Is active and the poisons are
not allowed to clog the system-gct rid
tof these poisons by taking a vegetable
laxative occasionaly-such as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They do not
grippe and will not harm the system.
