Cold Congratulations.

Billy Sunday told a story at a
Brooklyn luncheon about an apathet-
is Missourian congregation.
This bunch's preacher" he said,
"has wrastled among 'em for thirty
seven years, and never an encourag-
ing word but one has he got in all
that time.
s'He told about it with tears in his
eyes. He said he was on the way
home to dinner when deacon hailed
him. The deacon shook him by the
hand and then actually said:
'Ah, parson, that was beautiful
text you preached from Sunday even
in'.'"

The war department is eagerly
looking for electricians, telephone

THE BAMBERG HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1917.

Now that the second Liberty loan
campaign has been successfully con-
cluded, the next thing is the food
conservation campaign, Which was
launched Monday morning through
out the country. Bamberg county
is asked to forward 1000 food con-
servation pledge cards, and we see
by the daily newspapers that pre-
vious to Sunday only 81 cards had
been sent in from this county. So
much has been said about food con-
servation that it is scarcely necessary
to say more. The only thing we are
afraid of in Bamberg county is that
the majority of people are so pros
porous they are likely not to look
upon the thing seriously. When a
person is surrounded by so much, he
is likely to think everybody else is
in the same condition. But the very
fact that our farmers and a great
many others are so fortunate is the
very reason they should contribute
more to any cause that promotes the
government in it's war with Germany.
Let everybody sign the pledge card,
and adhere to it closely. True, many
of our people now consume less than
the pledge cards require, still it can
do no harm to sign the card, and let
the government know your heart is
right about the matter. And there
are great many of our people right
here at home who are living better
and consuming more food than ever
before in their lives. We hope the
wealthy and "good livers' will set
the example by not only signing the
card, but by carrying it out in ear
nest. After all, it does not really
affect the poor people, but the we'll
to-do. So there is no real reason
why everybody, rich and poor, should
not sign up.

Americus, Griffin, Albany, Thomas
Georgia cities are making prepara-

the departing soldier boys of the Ma

send-Off as possible before their de-
parture for the army training camps.
Nothing so far has been done in
Brunswick to show to the many boys
who are leaving Brunswick, some OF
whom undoubtedly never will return,
how much their service for their
country in its hour of need is appre-
ciated by those who stay at home.
1t has been suggested that some
fitting observance OF the departure
of the soldier boys should be held,
and that it will be particularly APP
propriate to make the nature OF the
observance such as will demonstrate
the appreciation of the community
and leave in the minds of the boys
pleasant recollections of home to
cheer and sustain them in right liv-

5EaTY. DANIELS
MAKES ADDRESS
PATRIOTIC SPEsCH AT BREAK
ING OF GROUND FOR AR
NOR PLATE PLANT.

Charleston, W. Va, Aug. 30.-Sec-
etary Daniels, speaking here today
1t the breaking of ground for the
government armOr plate and projec-
lie plant, declared that America is
lighting not only for the democratic
cations of the world, but is wagins
the battle of the people OF the Ger
man empire themselves"
Germany began this war for
Dlace i'll the sun" said the secretary.
1T has conducted it with the idea
hat it must have the place in the
'un-and the only place. We believe
hat there can be no peace i'll the
,unshine for any nation on earth un-
terneath the ominous shadow Of the
RUSSIAN eagle, no sunshine even for
he people of Germany themselves.
"Unmoved by possibility OF material
.dvantage or conquest, patient amid
Iggravation and aggressions, hoping
lgainst hope until the Last moment
hat this madness Of the imperial
German government would pass
lway, America has at last drawn her
sword, not only for her own rights,
not only for her own existence, but
Tor the very existence of freedom it
sell upon the earth, and it will not be
sheathed until victory is won
Mr. Daniels asserted that "in pre-
pairing for e terrible war the navy Is
taking the surest means to bring
about an early and effective peace.
Let there be no fear that rumors
)f peace or possibilities of a cessa-
ton of the struggle will cause us to
remit one moment OF our activities
on sea or shore" he said. Not until
the peace treaty is actually signed
will we remit one single item from

citizens need have no fear that we

CHAMBERS s. ESeI0N
HELD YESTERDAY
JUDGE }. p. :4iGHSMiTH TRANS
ACTED SOME EuGiNESS IN
SUPERIOR COURT.

Judge J. p. IIighsmith came down
from BaXIey Yesterday and held a
chambers session OF Glynn superior
court, disposing of Il number of mat
ters which did rot require a Jury
trial
Among the first called was the case
Of Mary f. Polite VS.. William Viii
liams and William Mckenzie. This
case arose from the fact that some
time ago Mary f. Polite and her hus-
band, Robert Polite, borrowed a sum
Of money from Mr.. Larned Pitcher.
and gave him a security deed to their
home in this city. When the note
fell due, Mr. Pitcher assigned it to
William Williams and William Nc
Kenzie, who began foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
Mary Polite, through her attorneys
Judge Boiling Whitfield and j. T.
Powell, filed a bill Of injunction
against Williams and Mckenzie, re-
straining them from disposing of the
property until the case could be
heard, The injunction proceedings
showed that the money which was
borrowed by Mary Polite and her hus-
band was to pay a debt OF her hus
bands, and she was thereby a surety
for him and under the law the debt
and security deed was void, as a wife
could not become a surety for her
husband.
Williams and Mckenzie filed their
answer, claiming that the contention
of the plaintiff was not correct, as
this debt was contracted to take UP
prior debt of these same parties
and introduced in evidence several
security deeds OF prior date.
Judge Highsmith took the case IN
der advisement, and viii render de
cision this month Judge Boiling
Whitfield and j. T. Powell appeared
for the plaintiff, while F. NJ. Scarlet,
Jr, represented the defendant.
Two parties were granted natural
ization papers by Judge Highsmith,
while the charter of the Brunswick
Shipbuilding Co. was dissolved. A
charter was granted to the Continen-
tai Shipping Co. A. d. Gale, attorney.

Lokal Anzeiger reports that the en-
tire Polish Council of State has re-
signed The underlying cause of the
councils decision to abandon its at
tempt to organize government I'M
der the proposed German protectorate
is a change OF attitude by the Poles
resulting from the Russian revolution,
according to the newspaper. The di-
rect cause is to be found, however,
in the delay OF the Austro-German
powers in entrusting affairs to the
Polish authorities, the conflict over
the Polish army, in which the Ger
mans wish to incorporate their own
forces, and the German determination
to exclude Lithuania from the new
kingdom.
