Our impression is that this is not
going to be very profitable year for
the professional politician. The peo-
pie are not so very much interested
In politics anyway. They have more
serious things to think about. With
the fate of the. civilized world hang
ing in the balance, the people of the
State are not taking much stock in
fre-eating political discourses. They
are thinking more about the well
fare of our boys in the camps and
on foreign soil. We shah have poll
tics, to be sure-they are necessary
nuisance; but any man who is not
thoroughly in accord with the gov
ernment; who has anything but the
successful finish of the war in mind
we believe he might as we'll cancel
his candidacy. He will do well to
take his campaign money and buy
liberty bonds.

Bamberg county is apportioned ap-
proximately $4,000 in the third
liberty loan. The county should go
far beyond that figure. The county
prides itself on it's prosperity, and it
is a fact that there is probably no
county in the State with more money
per capita than Bamberg. The gov
ernment needs the money; but it
needs the interest of it's citizens more
than the money. We should like to
see every citizen of the county in
possession of some government Sc
curities, either war stamps or lib
erty bonds, Everybody who possibly
can, should buy some bonds. If you
cannot, however, put fifty dollars
into a bond, buy some stamps. Every
body can do that. Even if you have
to sacrifice one meal day to do it,
it is your duty to lend your govern
ment-the best, strongest and safest
democracy in the world-some of
your money. The government will
be sound and safe only so long as it's
citizens stand back of it. Every time
anyone fails or refuses to back the

For the first time, perhaps, in the
history of Bamberg, the stores of the
city were closed on Saturday after
noon last for the patriotic meeting
at the court house. Anything that
will close the stores of Bamberg on
Saturday afternoon is serious busl-
ness-and serious business it truly
is. The spirit of the people in being
willing to sacrifice private business
for the bigger business of winning
the war is to be commended. The
proper spirit in these times is to make
winning the war the first business
of all the people. When that spirit
becomes broadcasted all over this
country, the business of defeating
Germany will not be difficult any
longer. We can all be soldiers in
this war-soldiers at home or in the
army or navy. The people at home
have a heavier responsibility than
those actually serving in the trench
es. One hundred million people, uni
fed in thought and purpose, can be
defeated by no nation on the face of
the globe. But one person in COM
munity pulling the other way, can
do more harm than the desertion
from the army of a hundred soldiers.

The outlook in France is decidedly
brighter. The German offensive has
failed in the objectives sought, and
while deep, ugly dents have been
made in the French and British lines,
the lines have never been broken.
If that line can be held for little
while longer, the critics are unani-
NOUS in saying, all fears of the Ger
mans reaching Paris of Calais in this
drive may be dissipated. That the
Germans no longer look upon Ameri-
ca as "a joke may now we'll be assum-
ed, for it is generally conceded that
the terrific drives of the past four
weeks were made with the hope of
gaining decision before America
can get into the fight in earnest.

Fielder on board, will finally turn up.
Punch is fine young fellow, popu-

HIGH PRICE FOR MILK
PROBED BY FOOD BOSS

Atlanta, Oct. 3.-On account of the
increase of the price of sweet milk
and cream by Atlanta dairymen, an
appeal has been made to the Food
Administration to make an investiga-
ton for the purpose of determining
whether or not the present high prices
are justified.
In the past two or three weeks most
of the dairymen have notified their
customers that they will begin charg-
ing 25 cents a quart for sweet milk
and so cents a quart for cream on
October 1, while one dairyman has al
ready adanced his price to Y IL cents
quart for sweetmilk.
Major d. F. McClathey, executive
secretary of DR.. A. M. Soule, the fed
eral food administrator for Georgia,
stated yesterday that the food ad-
rGlnistration is making a careful in
vestigation, and will protect the pub
lie from profiteering to the limit of
its jurisdiction.
