ARMY Y. NJ. c.. A. SUBSCRIPTIONS
Bamberg Responds Generously for
the Red Triangle.

a supreme effort has been made
| and with success, to raise s35,000,-
900 throughout the United States
for the purpose of placing the Red
I Triangle, the Y. NJ. C. A. privileges
and comforts, in reach of our boys in
the French trenches and also those
in American camp life. This is a
grand cause and we'll merited the
consideration and support of all who
have the interest and welfare of the
American heroes at heart.
Sunday morning in the Methodist
church here union meeting Of all
the congregations of the city was held
in the interest of this Y. NJ. G. A. cam
paign for the army and navy. Bam-
berg citizens opened up their hearts
and pocket books as we'll, and the
old town and county have responded
to the movement more fully than to
any war undertaking advanced yet.
Prof. J. C. Guilds was in charge of
the movement for the county and he
is due congratulations for the splen-
did results accomplished. From a
Bamberg town and county standpoint
as we'll as throughout the nation the
campaign was a glowing success.
The speakers at the church Sun
day morning were favored with ca
pacity house, and thrilled their large
audience with unbounded enthusi-
asm. Those who addressed our cit
liens were Sergt. North, Of the reg
ular army, and DR.. Newlin, one of
the secretaries of the army Y. NJ. c.
A. work. They both came from
Camp Jackson near Columbia.
Bamberg county's allotment in the
s35, 100000 fund was s2,100, which
would mean an apportionment for
the town of Bamberg of approximate
ly 1000. These amounts have been
exceeded both in the town and coun-
ty. In a few minutes at the church
here Sunday the subscriptions for
the town of Bamberg totaled 1926,
coming in all the way from 25 cents
to 500 each, there being two of the
latter amount The total for this
town now amounts to nearly $780,
thus reaching more than 25 per cent
more than it's quota.
Prof. Guilds handed The Herald
the following statement of the cam

Another Liquor Seizure.

Whiskey seizures at Denmark are
getting to be almost an every day
affair. The intersection of the rail
roads there makes it such fine
transfer point from Jacksonville to
nearly all points in this section that
in spite of the vigilant lookout be-
ing kept there for liquors the blind
tigers continue to bring their stuff
to Denmark to change railroads.
Last week State Whiskey Constable
J. H. Robinson did some good work
at Denmark when he discovered and
seized three large trunks and three
suit cases all loaded with whiskey.
Most of it was in quart bottles, there
being some few pints. The whiskey
was shipped from Jacksonville and
was turned over to Sheriff S. G. Ray
here, who now has it in charge. The
whole amount confscated in this haul
is about twenty gallons, although it
has not been definitely ngureG up
yet.
There were three white men ar
rested in connection with this selz-
ure, but they we're all strangers and
their names are unknown here. Two
of them have been placed in the
hands of the federal authorities and
are in jail in Orangeburg. The 9TH
er man was in the custody of the
might policeman, Mr.. ]. w. Jennings,
at Denmark, but taking Mr.. Jennings
unawares and by surprise struck him
a blow or pushed him and ran, max
ing good his escape. Mr.. Jennings
was uninjured, but the fleeing man
has not been captured.

Tabulation of Registered Mon.

A complete tabulated record Of all
the men registered in Bamberg coun-
ty for the selective draft, has been
made by the local board with the as
sistance of a few patriotic citizens.
The job required no little work, and
was done throughout the country at
the request of. the president. Each
Of the 1900 registered Bamberg
county men is classified, and the rec
ord shows what disposition has been
made of every man called for phys
ical examination so far, and the
status of each registrant.

Making EN- Ante Up With Taxes.

People whose names are not on
the tax books of the county had bet
ter be careful how theF~are allowing
them to be placed on the books of
the probate judges Office to order
whiskey. County Treasurer G. A..
Jennings is right after them, and has
already discovered more than 100
names in which whiskey has been
ordered, but in which no taxes have
ever been paid. This will get in a
good bit of money for the county, as
these people, of course, have to come
across for their back taxes as we'll
as those due at present, both road
taxes and poll taxes. Mr.. Jennings
is making it amount to something
worth while for the county. Occas-
ionally names can also be found on
the probate judges books, the bear
ers of which are residents of adjoin-
ing counties, and it is against the
law to order whiskey under such
circumstances. These. non-residents
of the county are laying themselves
liable to trouble.

1T will be noted that several COM
munities of the county are not rep
resented in the above list. I hope
these communities will make up con-
tributions for this great work. Head
quarters report that the new situa-
ton in Italy and Russia is making
great unforeseen demands upon the
association. God bless every one
who has contributed to this work and
the boys in the colors for whom the
contributions were so cheerfully
made"
That is showing to be proud OF,
and we are glad that Bamberg' coun-.
ty has come to the front where she
belongs in all things tending toward
the upbuilding and comfort of the
gallant boys who are offering their
lives upon the altar of our country

Sensible people have taken it for granted that the
president and high officials of the government have

exposed the past few days.

for authority to spend $4,000 to influence con-

peace with such government.
Then there is the story the sending of lockiaV,

by comparison) committed by the propogandists in this
country which have been traced to official represent
