Utserances That VIII Live.

No president ever uttered more
remarkable words of wisdom and sin
cere appreciation Of the ties that
bind human beings together than
President Wilson. George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln were in
spired by the tremendous import of
the causes that led to the wars in
which they took so great a part but
Washington's cause was National
and Lincoln's was partly sectional
President Wilson has been placed
by a divine Providence in the midst
Of an international conflict whose
causes and results have shaken the
world and will in its fnality write
chapters in history ore significant
than any ever written. President Will
sons expressions on the war have
been read all over the world and have
profoundly impressed other millions
than Americans. An English newspa-
per speaks of Wilson's war utter.
ances as follows:
The only wartime oratory which
has the suggestion Of a posterity
about it is that of President Wilson.
Such a phrase as "The world must be
made safe for democracy is already
merged so completely into our ma
tional sentiment, has become the
common idea of so many millions OF
allied people, that we have ceased to
attribute individual authorship to it,
just because it now belongs to every
body. It is, of course, President Will
sons phrase, uttered in his address
to Congress in April, 1917. And here
are a few more Of the Presidents
epigrams that are likely to live:
"This is nc war for amateurs"
"What I am opposed to is not the
feeling Of pacifists, but their stu
pidity."
~ believe in the ordinary man"
"There is something very fine in
the spirit of the volunteer, but deep
er than the volunteer spirit is the
spirit Of obligation"
And then of course, there is the
notable utterance beginning "Force,
force to the utmost, force without
stint or limit"-perhaps the most
majestic and thunderous words ever
uttered by a statesman in the midst
of a great war.-Greenwood Journal.

South Carolina Press Associa-
ton.

The 44th annual session of the
South Carolina Press Association
will be held in Gaffney Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, September H.,
10 and 20. Owing to war conditions,
it appeared that it would probably
be unwise to attempt to hold the
meeting at Gaffney as originally plan
ned. In order to ascertain whether
or not a sufficient number would at
tend to warrant completing arrange
ments for the meeting, j. l.. Minis,
the president of the association, sent
out a number of inquiries to the ed
itors' and publishers over the State.
A sufficient number of affirmative
replies to assure the success of the
meeting were received.
An interesting programme IS be-
ing arranged and elaborate plans
are being made by E. H. De Camp
and the people of Gaffney for the
entertainment of the members of the
Fourth Estate. The association met in
Gaffney 10 years ago and those who
attended then remember, as if it
were yesterday, the big things that
were done by Ed. DeCamp for their
entertainment. Those who were IN
Gaffney in 1908 will not have to be
urged to attend the approaching ses-
sion.
At first it was arranged to hold the
meeting only two days but in a let
ter received this morning from Mr..
DeCamp he urges that a third day
be added for pleasure. On Friday,
September 20, the newspaper folk
will be taken on an auto "trip to
Chimney Rock and Bat Cave, North
Carolina, stopping at Chimney Rock
for lunch.
All OF the members Of the asso-
citation are urged to attend the meet
ing at GafTney. After the close of
the campaign those who have been
continuously at their desks through
the summer need a short period of
relaxation, and there is no better
time or place for this relaxation than
the meeting of the Press association.

There is no chance for the house
wife to relax in regard to the con-
servation of food. Just as the wheat
substitute begins to look brighter
though the $3.50 rule is still in
effect-she has now to turn her at
tention to a more intensive sugar
saving program. The food admins
traitor says: o
"The burden of maintainingIhe
allies falls on US. There is not enough
sugar available for all of US to live
in accordance with u peace time
habits. You must share with our
allies at a common table. Our great
war program has reduced our sugar
carrying fleet; the sugar require
ments of our overseas army are very
large; our domestic crop is less than
we expect; Germans have destroyed
sugar beet fields and factories in Nor
thern France and Italy; mor than
$4,000 pounds Of sugar was sent to
the bottom of the seas off wi own
shores recently.
eff by our selfish use of sugar we
should force the allies to send to ia
va for 100000 tons of sugar to piece
out their meagre ration for next year
it would require II extra ships. These
II ships would transport and keep
10000 to 200, 900 soldiers in
France. Since about 70 per cent of
the country's suga, passes through
the hands of Americas housewives,
it is evident that she has a most i'm
portant role to play in its -%conserva-
ton. First, it is her part to see that
no more than two pounds per person
per month comes in the family lar
der. Second, she must make this
amount go around. It must cover the
table use as well as for cooking.
Just as in the use of flour substi-
tutes, she will find other means of
sweetening. She will also learn how
to substitute other fuel giving foods
for the sugar she has relied upon in
the days of plenty. She will shift
from sugar to starchy food. 1t will
be her voluntary contribution to ul-
innate victory.-The State.

Preliminary reports indicate that
every county in South Carolina ex-
ceeded it's quota of liberty bonds in
the campaign just closed. 1t is also
indicated that nearly every banking
town in the State came up to or eX-
ceeded it's quota. This is a record
to be truly proud of. The State went
over it's .apportionment several mil
lion dollars, and the final reports will
doubtless show the State not only
did we'll, but did magnifcently in this
campaign. It is especially gratifying
to note this, because it shows de-
cided change in public sentiment. It
proves beyond doubt that the peo-
pie of the State are thoroughly arous-
ed to the Importance of the conflict
now being fought on the plains of
France. No longer can it be said
that this State is tagging behind in
war sentiment. When once the peo-
pie get behind this thing right, it
will be only a matter of how long it
will take for America to cast the de-,
Gliding balance into the fight in
France. That the people are
truly getting behind it is prov
en- in no uncertain way by
the fact that approximately twen-
ty million people in America have
subscribed to liberty bonds in the
third liberty loan. This gives ap-
proximately what has been wanted
by the government-an everage of
one bond buyer to every family in
America.

great number of new divisions may
be created. With authority now
asked for unlimited power to create
fighting units, some of the men of the
May draft may be assigned to these
new organizations.
1t is regarded as likely, however,
that the April and May drafts will be
used largely to fill up divisions at
home, while the seasoned personnel
from those divisions is sent over seas
to fill the gaps. Since the number of
divisions on the other side is rapidly
and steadily increasing, the flow of
replacement troops must increase
proportionately.
New Draft Bill.
a new draft Of the annual army
appropriation, bill, providing for the
needs of 100000 men under the
fifteen billion dollar programme will
be laid before the house military
committee next Monday. Secretary
Baker, Major Gen. March, chief of
staff, and other officers, appeared to-
day at the committees executive
session, discussing the estimates.
While some of the house admins
tration leaders voiced support of the
war departments programme the
sentiment expressed was not alto
gether unanimous regarding the re-
quest for unlimited power to deter
mine the size of the army Senator
Sherman said he could not support
such plan and that congress should
fix the number of men. Representa-
tive Kahn, of California, the ranking
Republican member, has declared
himself thoroughly in favor of the
war departments programme.

ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, May 9, 1918.

Bamberg county not only went ov-
or the top in the liberty loan, but she
made a fatal thrust at the Germans
after she went over. We subscribed
our quota of bonds, and then threw
into the ring some sixty thousands
as good measure. Every banking
town in the county gets liberty
flag, and the county will get a flag.
Two flags will float over the court
house here for our work in the cam
paign, one for the city and one for
the county. The people of the coun-
ty may we'll take justiiable pride
in this accomplishment. While it is
nothing more than was expected of
US, it is to be remembered that not
every county in the country-not ev-
en- a considerable number of them
produced the results the organiza-
ton secured in Bamberg county.

Report on Glendale Mineral Springs.

In the recent report of the Depart
ment of the Interior, GLENDALE
MINERAL SPRING, of Bamberg, S.
c., is mentioned as one of the valu-
able mineral springs of the United
States.
GLENDALE MINERAL SPRINGS
was discovered about three years ago
and an analysis of the water made
by Prof. Bracket, of Clemson College.
Since that time other analyses have
been made which show the great
value of GLENDALE MINERAL WA
TER. This spring is located about
three miles southwest of BAMBERG
and within easy reach of the people
of lower South Carolina who have
not as yet fully realized the value
of this excellent mineral water right
in their midst.-adv.

We are no opponent of Representa-
tive Lever. He is good man, but
we think he has taken mistaken
view of the political situation when
he offers for Senator Tillman's seat.
We think if Mr.. Lever had waited
a while, he would not have announc-
ed as an opponent of Mr.. Tillman.
We believe that he will see his error
in time to prevent the State losing
his valuable services in congress; for
if he fails of election to the senate,
he will not be member of the next
congress at all. This would be dis
tinct loss to the State. We still hope
that he will reconsider and offer for
reelection to congress from his dis
trict. Were Senator Tillman not a
candidate for reelection this newspa-
per would be supporter of Congress-
man Lever for y. S. senator.

Mr.. J. K. Mayfield made a timely
suggestion in his resolution in the
Democratic convention Monday, when
he proposed that ways and means for
the future maintenance and building
of the county's roads be provided for.
The fact is that since prohibition was
enacted, the county chain gang has
been so depleted that it cannot
handle the road situation properly.
OF course, everybody is delighted

Under the increased army plan,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-05-09

that prohibition has brought about
such marked improvement, and We
feel sure the people will not object
to paying out of their pockets what
has heretofore been paid bv violators
of the law, in order that this happy
condition of affairs may be continued.
The chain gang, as at present con-
stituted, is scarcely more than half
as large as it formerly was. The re-
suit is the supervisor and commits
sioners are seriously handicapped.
It will be we'll for the legislative
delegation this summer to discuss
on the stump what they propose to
do about it. If some arrangement
can be made for the building of the
roads, the chain gang could probably
be used exclusively for the upkeep
of the roads after they are built. With
the aid Of the traction engine and
other implements now used by the
gang, the roads could we'll be main
tanned after built by the present
force. The county is now faced with
the problem of both building and
maintaining the roads with a small
force of convicts. The result is that
after good roads are built, they can
not be properly kept up. No doubt
the next delegation will be called on
for assistance in this direction.

The reform party did not show up
we'll in the county conventions held
all over the State on Monday. Not
withstanding the fact that the word
had gone out many months ago for
the reformers to be on the alert and
capture the conventions, preliminary
reports indicate only three counties
in the state elected reform delegates
to the State convention. If there was
any sort of organization or under
standing among the anti-reform ele-
ment we have never heard of it. This
proves beyond question that the re-
form faction has grown weaker with
in the past two years, and also points
to the reelection of Senator Till
man. If the reformers, with
the organization perfected in Co.
lumbia several weeks ago and
with their newspapers crying forth
with all the vim they possessed for
them to dominate the clubs and coun-
ty mad State conventions, they could
succeed in soaring up a majority in
only three counties, we fail to see
what they hope to accomplish at the
polls this summer. The cry of fraud
on the part of the reformers-a farce
on the face of it-has served it's pur-
pose. It has killed the faction so
far as the primary this summec is
concerned. It also shows that the
people of South Carolina do not pro.
rose to be led astray by Office seek
ers who now loudly proclaim their
patriotism; yet only a few months
ago attacked the administration on
the declaration of war and even for
carrying it on after it was declared.
