Bamberg Deraln
ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, March 1, 1917.

1t is almost clear that it Will not
be possible for the United States to
prevent being embroiled in the war.
The breaking point has almost been
reached, and announcement OF a
state of war between the United
States and Germany may be expected
at any time The United States gov
ernment has done everything posi-
Bile, it appears to US. to keep out OF
this war; in fact, this country has
suffered indignities throughout this
struggle that our forefathers would
have long ago resented more sub
stantially than by notes of protest.
Very few persons in this country
want war, but if it is forced upon us,
we have no alternative than to fight
to a finish; and We hope that this
finish will be both complete and
early.

Arrested Under New Law.

Chester, Feb. 24.-M. FiXman
representing the Crystal Optical COM
pany, of Birmingham, Ala, was ar
rested here today and fined s35 un-
der the law which prohibits anyone
from carrying on the business of op'
tometry Or optician without having a
certificate. This act was passed Feb.
ruary 13, becoming effective imme'
diately upon being signed by the
governor and was probably invoked
for the first time today. \. Springer

man and acting as assistant, was dis
missed.

In the eagerness of the South Car
olina prohibition advocates to secure
State legislation, it appears that Ii
quor has been legislated into the
State, instead of out of it, by the
quart-a-month measure. In the
opinion of some of the leading prohi-
bitionists the clause of the South
Carolina act providing that a quart
a month may be secured on affidavit
that it is to be used for medicinal
purposes will cause the Reed amend
ment to the postal appropriation bill
to be imperative in this State. The
section of the Reed amendment re-
ferring to this phase of the liquor
matter is as follows:
Whosoever shall order, purchase,
or cause intoxicating liquors to be
Transported in interstate commerce,
except for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal, or mechanical purposes,
into any State or territory the laws
of which State or territory prohlblt
the manufacture or sale therein OF
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses, shall be punished by fine OF
not more than $1,000, or imprisoned
for not more than six months, or
both, and for any subsequent offense
shall be imprisoned not more than
one year.
While no authoritative ruling has
been made as yet, it would seem that
the Reed amendment would allow
liquor for medicinal purposes where
it is allowed by the State. We trust
that this construction will not be put
upon the Reed amendment, however.
If no legislation had been passed by
the recent legislature, the State
would have been really bone dry, and
the matter would not have been tan
gled with State politics.

Leaving Adelaide Behind.

A young man who had recently re-
turned from the Austrian colonies to
wed the girl of his heart was re-
preached the other day by his be-
loved for his fickleness.

much,' she exclaimed, but l daresaI
you said just the same thing to the
other girl whom you have treated sc
heartlessly-poor thing"
What other girl?" gasped the as
tonished lover, who was conscious o1
an unwearing fidelity to the fair be-
ing whom he had ever loved.
''Why, the girl in Australia an
swered the innocent. Il overheard
them say the other day that you left
Adelaide to come to me-.
And it took some time and large

Now I've something for to tell you,
That may fill you with surprise.
If there is q firm in heaven.
Doing business in the skies,
1t will be the j. R. Watkins,
And of that I'm very sure
For they're built on foundation
That through time will sure en-,
dure.
For the people have all tried them
And are more than satisfied
With the many, many good things
And the way they've been supplied
Now on earth they've been accus.
toned
To the good old Watkins plan
And a regular timely visit
Of the genial Watkins man.
So when life on earth is ended
And they reach the other side
If they don't find goods from Wat

They'll wish they'd never died.

LOUISIANA CLARIFIED
SUGARS.

IneSe sugars, now selling at
7.1O5 cents, were once considered
the best in Louisiana, varying IN
quality as they did all the way
from common brown and gray
crystals up through prime and
choice vellows to pure white SUI
gars. These sugars boiled in va
cum pans at low temperatures
are generally turned out as hard
crystals of varying size, depend
ing upon the quality of the cane
juice and ON the skill of the su-
gar boiler. They attained large
popularity in Louisiana after the
introduction Of centrifugals and
were the chief source of supply
for sugars throughout the Miss
issippi Valley. a considerable
quantity also going to the Atlantic
states. These sugars ar esuperior
to vacuum pan sugars of SO test,
from the fact that they are pre-
pared with greater care and are
dried more thoroughly in the cen
trifugal machines, and by actual
polarization for their intrinsic
merit they will be found to po-
larize as high as SO per cent of
pure sugar without any artificial
drying other than that by the
centrifugal machines. Of course
it is understood in sugar manu-
facture that all moisture should be
removed from these crystals that
can be removed by the machinery
available. For the completer dry
ing granulators have been invent
ed and have come into large use
and with that method Of drying
these sugars can be made toI
polarize 100 if pure white inI

The active demand for these SUI
gars this season has of course
arisen from the extreme scarcity
Of sugars and any every where
and Louisiana sugrs being the
first new Gro psugars on the mar
ket, the trrde of the country has
looked this way for supplies and
vet the supplies are entirely in

low sugars they ought to be OF as
fine style, as good as they can
make and tier on they should en-
gage in the manufacture Of pure
white sugars and dry these

In regard to the sale of these
sugars at present, we must remem-

our manufacturers in the West
as well as the sugar refiners IN

more saleable they are, although
unfortunately under the existing
food legislation the price is
limited to 7.105. If they are good
sugars they will reach a free buy
ing market, even although the
market should be more bountifully
supplied in the future.
These sugars are sought now by

to reach there at least ten days
before Christmas. The boxes
should contain many different
articles, according as the pers-

preferably should not be uniform
in contents. Each box should
contain the name and address Of
the sender. Stationery, smoking
tobacco. candy, pocket flashlights,
sweaters. muflers, etc., are al
ways acceptable. Cake and sand
wishes are too perishable and
should not be included. Boxes
must be thoroughly wrapped and

And often they near get me on run,
And sometimes ! think when / get it

And have got no whisSers OF red. white

And I really don't know Just what I
shall do.

There's a few things do know, If I am

There's a great many more that could

But I have many friends Of a right good

is the most recent response to the
demands which are being made by
social and musical Wilmington for
higher class productions.
Il is safe to predict that every
lover Of the finer things in music,
who can possibly do so. will attend
the recital Saturday night. The
scale Of prices for seats is such that
everyone may obtain, at a small
outlay, a good seat in some part of
the house. Nine Gadski herself, had
a hard struggle before she attained
10 the pinnacle Of her fame in her
chosen profession, and for this rea-
son it has been the aim of her man
agement TO make It possible for ev-
eryone TO attend her Tecitals.
The demand for seats up to this
time has been very gratifying TO the
management, and II is now expected
that Nine. Gaksi will be greeted b5
crowded house Saturday evening.
