Meeting of Farm Loan Association.

The Bamberg Farm Loan associa-
ton met at the court house January
25. The president being absent, Mr..
J. w. Hill, vice president, took the
chair and called the body to or
der. Mr.. ]. T. O'Neal was called
upon to explain the object of the
meeting, after which he was asked
to take the chair, the vice president
being too i'll to remain longer.
The chair stated that Mr.. G. E..
Sabin, a member of the board of di-
rectors and appraisal committee,
asked to be released because of the
distance being too great for him to
do active work. Same was granted,
and DR.. E. o. Watson was nominated
and elected to fill the position on the
board of directors, and on the loan
committee. In accepting the posi-
tions rendered him, he spoke of the
responsibility of the work and out
lined valuable points of interest to
be considered by the committees,
specializing the work of the loan
committee as being of vital impcr-
tance in making the proper estimate
upon land values consistent with the
rural credits act.
Mr.. S. G.. Mayfeld, member of
the Denmark association, being pres
ent, the chair called upon him to ad-
dress the audience, to which he kind
ly responded. He spoke on the gen.
eral principles of the work, and ad-
vised Of the great opportunities Of
fered by the government to the farm
ers who should speedily accept the
terms of it's requirements and enjoy
the benefits rendered them.
A motion by DR.. Watson that a
supply of application forms, for the
benefit of the work of the appraisal
committee be ordered, was adopted.
It was suggested by the chair that
compensation fund be raised and
known as an association fund, to de-
fray the expenses of same from time
to time. 1t was accepted by the body
and DR.. Watson moved that an as
sessment of one half of one per cent.
on each thousand dollars applied for
be collected from each member in
order to make up the amount neces-
sary to meet such demands, and the
appraisal committee to make state
ment of actual expenses and present
same to the secretary-treasurer for
payment as soon as sufficient funds
are collected.
Mr.. G. E. Sabin, being manager
of his mothers property, who lives
in Tennessee, wished to know if ne
could borrow money from the asso-
citation and sign as her agent for
same. For information, of the as
sociation, the chair called upon Mr..
S. G. Mayfeld to answer the ques-
ton. He stated that she being an
absentee landlord the government
would refuse such an application, and
that the only chance to borrow on
the property would be for her to
make him a title direct.
The retary-treasurer-elect, find
ing that his business demands would
require his absence from town most
of his time, rendered his resignation.
Same was accepted on the terms as
stated. Mr.. NJ. P. Watson was nomi-
mated and elected in his stead, after
which the association was adjourned
subject to any call by the president.

through town on big parade to
celebrate the victory.
The gymnasium team, which is un-
der the direction of Prof. w. W.

Wofford gymnasium team, has begun
practice for an exhibition which is
to be a part of the Washington birth

the greatest temple of all times, left
intact with it's treasures OF hldden
secrets of more value to modern man
than was the Alexandrian library so
ruthlessly destroyed by Caliph Omar.
On what base such declaration!
From minor towns and cities, where
the landmarks are small and lnslg-
nificant, there are being brought to
light valuable finds in modest and
unpretentious temples. The Sphinx
evidently was "the watchmaL on the
tower" of the greatest temple of the
ages. Hard by are the pyramids, ST.
lent and lasting monuments of the
golden age of Egyptian culture, from
whose vaults much light has been
taken in modern times-secrets OF
the Pharaoh's found in their sarco-
phagi, and these the most gigantic
works of man demonstrate that there
upon this spot beneath the Sphinx was
the centre. the vortex of the superb
enlightenment of the East. In this
now deeply buried temple the arts
of the ages were safely deposited and
sleep there to this day "in dull cold
marble" or stone, imperishable, wait
ing only to be excavated and deciph-
cred. When this is done, man Will
no longer ask for what purpose did

TEN PER CENT OF COAL
TO BE COMMANDEERED
Government Will Hold Reserve
Supply to Distribute Where
Most Needed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-An order
reuuisitioning for the government 10
per cent of the output of virtually
every coal mine in the country will
be issued by the fuel administration
probably tomorrow. The coal will be
distributed by the government to meet
emergency requirements wherever
they may arise.
Consumption is keeping pace so
closely with production that many
parts of the country are feeling the
coal shortage. Industries essential to
the public welfare in many cities face
the prospect OF closing and thousands
of householders have found 1t impos-
sible to purchase winters supply of
fuel.
Operators will be directed to tim
contracts generally TO furnish the 10
per cent desired.
The fuel administration has re-
ceived from the federal trade com
mission estimates on the cost of pro-
ducing fuel oil and gasoline and will
announce soon the measure of con-
troll it will assume over oil production
and distribution.

In April of last year | made
a trip to several German
prison camps, including the
much exploited one at Ruhle-
ben.
Everything is true that has
been written about this camp
the good treatment of the
Englishmen interned there,
their good food, their shows,
their library, schOol-every-
thing.
But-Ruhleben is about like
the rest of the prison camps
of Germany as Central park
west in New York is like the
East side.
Ruhleben is a show-place, a
place where Germans take Wis
itors and say "See how well
we treat our prisoners ~
In Ruhleben the Englishmen pay
for their keep" Mr.. Ferguson, n
singing teacher, does all the buying
for the kitchen Every morning. ac-
companied by a German officer. he
goes to market and carefully selects
the best there for the English in the
camp. This Is cooked and served al
most In first class hotel style.
The camp is laid out in streets. The
buildings are substantial.
Truly. life In Camp Ruhleben is one
grand sweet song
But it is a terrible contrast to see
the other camps and ] saw only two
others, and those not the worst.
/ went to see one OF the camps
where Italian prisoners of war are
kept.
Understand, Camp Ruhleben is not
prisoner of war camp; II is camp
for interned Englishmen. but the arr-
mans would be glad to have people
think that their prison camps are like
Ruhleben.
In the other camps there were no
streets The buildings were the rudest
kind of wooden shaoks and, so far as
could learn, contained no heat.
When 1t rains, the great field upon
which these huts are built is morass

BrOWn Sugar, BGosh!

Hey, Skinnay come here Run
like everything. Our old friend
Brown Sugar is with us again,
Remember the day way back
, in childhood when you went
! home from school and slipped
into the pantry and stole brown
, sugar?
Well it's back in its old place,
, on the table. in the pantry, in the
stores and in the restaurants.
It's been long time since
brown sugar was on the market.
, Years ago when the beet sugar
industry began to develop and
prosper and grew until there are
now eighty-odd beet sugar fac
tories i'm the United States the
, price OF white grWulated went
! down until brown sugar was
forced out of business. Granu-
, lated became so cheap that
, brown sugar disappeared.
But the sugar famine that
, seized the country a month ago
and is still acute has brought
! brown sugar back.
I Yesterday morning when res
I taurant boarders went to their
! breakfasts they found bowls of
I brown sugar waiting to sweeten
! thoir coffee. 1t has come back"
and probably will stay until the
famine Is over.

EPIDEMIC
MAY BE SERIOUS
Arrests Likely to Occur for
Violation of Quarantine;
Doctors Are Alarmed.

An epidemic of scarlet fever that
may assume serious proportions unless
drastic action is taken has Tulsa in
its throes. Citizens and physicians
called The World yesterday and asked
that publicity be given to the situation
to the end that the public may be
thoroly warned of the danger that
menaceg.
DR.. S. Dezell IIawley, city superin-
tendent of health, admitted last night
that conditions were alarming, and
he accused many doctors and citizens
Of violating the law.
Arrests to Come.
There are violations of quarantine
all over the city" said Dr. Hawley,
'and the health department will not
tolerate them any longer. Beginning
Tuesday we will start arresting all
persons who do not strictly live up to
the quarantine rules. This goes for
everybody, and no favorites will he
played. 1t is a matter of life and
death and all offenders will be sum
marly dealt with"
About twenty-five cases have been
reported to the health department thus
far according to Doctor Hawley, and
many physicians are violating the law
by failing to report cases as there are
a great many more than twenty-five
cases in the city at the present time.
Arrests Of physicians Will occur unless
every case is reported promptly here
after.
Urge Closing Schools.
Several physicians last night urged
that the city schools be closed imme-
diately in order to permit thoro eX-
animation of all pupils and fumiga-
ton of the buildings. This Is the only
step to prevent a city-wide epidemic,
I'm the opinion of these doctors, one OF
whom has child of his own about
whom he is greatly alarmed on ac-
count of the danger OF infection. Many
parents are keeping their children out
of school of their own volition.
Doctor llawley does not believe II ad-
visable to close the chools at least un-
til more serious developments turn up.
ITO close the schools" he said last
night. would mean turning into the
streets and into the picture shows sew
eral thousand children, and the danger
would only be multiplied"
only two deaths have been reported
| thus far. Several adults are down
with the disease, as well as children
