FUEL ADMINISTRATION NEARLY
Baked BY FLOODS and SNOW

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3i.-With
deep snow piled over some tracks
and rain and torrcntial streams
washing out others. the national
railroad and the fuel administration
were almost hclplcssly in the power
Of the elements today.
Predictions OF bitter cold wave
moving toward the Atlantic destined
TO settle down for n stay of several
days added to the gravity of the sit
uation. Coal movement has been
disastrously upset by continued
snow ueups.
Move Food First
While frankly admitting its in.
ability to supply all demands for
cars. the railroad administration in
cooperation with Hoover today
made special provision for move
ment OF food.
Grain and feed will be moved first
where needed. Zone representatives
of the administration will divert
cars where needed most.
Extreme uneasiness over the coal
situation is expected, altho Director
McAdoo declared that enough coal
would be sent to prevent suffering.
Fuel and necessities are practically
the only things moving over the ma
tional railroad today.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother. Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiQs, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: 81 am user
of Thedford's Black Draught; in fact,
it was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was a child. When any Of US child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black -Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved us lots OF
doctor bills. Just a dose OF Black
D-aught when not so we'll saves
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof of It's merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed'
ford's. the original and genuine. e 72

Red Cross to Enter New Field.

! at the suggestion of Secretary OF
War Baker, the American Red Cross
is about to enter new field
Of service in, the army camps
Of the United States, q field in
which they are already working in
France, the Bureau of Communication
between the men in the hospital and
their families at home. This will ne
cessitate building a Red Cross house
in every army camp in the country
and securing for each house man
who will keep in personal touch with
every man who is admitted to the camp
hospital, as well as a sufficient steno-
graphic force to handle the letters die
tated by these men and to keep their
families constantly informed as to
their condition and progress.
Col. William Lawson Peel, General
manager Of the Southern division, has
just received letters from w. r. Cas-
tie, Jr., director Of the Bureau of Com
munications, and from Harry B. Wal
lace, assistant director-general Of mill
tary relief, explaining Secretary b.
kers plan and asking for suggestions
as to men in this division who are
qualified for the positions Of respon-
sibility at the camps. Colonel Peel
announced Thursday at a meeting OF
his bureau directors that the Southern
division would cooperate in every way
with the national organization and
that work would be begun at once to
assist in carrying out Secretary Bak-
ers plans.
The directors Of the work in the Red
Cross houses will be under the au-
thority of the Red Cross Field Direc-
tors in the various camps, who in
turn are under the supervision OF q.
Bennett Phelps, director of military
relief for the Southern division.
Secretary Baker says in his letter:
'Since the American Red Cross
has already established in France, in
accordance with an army order, a ser
vice to keep families in America In
personal touch with their boys, i'll
or wounded in the field, It is suggest
ed that this service be extended to
the camps in the United States. Ameri-
can Red Cross representatives at the
camps, here, as in France, would have
access to daily lists of admissions and
evacuations from the hospitals, and,
so far as it is in accord with neces-
sary medical rules, would be allowed
to talk with sick men. They would
be expected to keep families constant
" informed as to the condition and
progress Of the men in the hospitals,
to write letters for men unable to
write themselves, and in general to
fulfill that clause of the Red Cross
charter which designated the society
as "a medium Of communication be-
tween troops in the field and their
families at home"

WILL YOU HELP
Advertise Bamberg County's Ad-
VantagnS?

Are you willing to help advertise
Bamberg county to other sections OF
the United. States? Don't you k1.ow
that there are many excellent lea
lures about the industrial and aeri-
cultural and social life Of the city
and county that would attract other
home-seekers? Don't YOU know that
these home-seekers don't find these
facts out unless somebody tells
them? To answer this purpose, to
fill that mission, The Bamberg Her
aid is soing to issue Prosperity
Proclamation edition some time in
the near future. It will describe our
situation and possibilities; it will ad-
vertise the inducements and BENEFITS
held out for newcomers, and it VIII
cive publicity to this community as
It has never had before.
Every progressive citizen should
help this enterprise. The Prosperity
Proclamation edition is not necessar-
ily going to be a very bulky newspa-
pert will have facts, business
write-ups. and what is better than
ANYTHING else, exquisite photographs
of local places of business, churches,
schools, farms, stock, and growing
fields, etc. Pictures show more about
a section than talk, and while words
can be put together in an effort to
"stall'' others, actual photographs
show actual realities.
We want to get photographs OF
some of the progressive farms in
this county, showing the high state
of culture and comfort which exists
in our rural sections. This edition
cannot be issued without a great ex-
pense. The most novel manner in
which this edition will be distributed
appeals to everyone No display ad-
vertisements are to be inserted in the
paper, but only write-ups of various
firms and people accompanied by pho-
tographs of them or their places OF
business. The patrons do not pay
for this pace, nor pictures or CUTS
but help bear the expense of the edi-
.ticn by buying yaricls copies OF the
Prosperity Proclamation edition.
These are sent out by The Bamberg
Herald to various persons, including
whatever addresses given by the pur-
chaser of the copies.
The Bamt erg Herald has been
meeting with cheerful cooperation
and a number Of progressive citl-
zens are already backing it by sub
scribing for copies. We have special
men here working on this issue and
in a few days pictures will be taken
of every point of interest which will
be printed in this paper. Bamberg
has never issued an illustrated write
up of the county and this is going to
be a complete one. Call around to
The Herald Office and talk it over
with us.

draft age at least, must work or fight
''This is not alone war of mill
tary maneuIor. 1t is a deadly con-
test of industries and mechanics.
s'It is enough to ask what would
happen if every man in the nation
turned his hand to effective work.
How is this to be done?
'The answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution of the diff
Guilty to prohibit engagement by able
bodied men in the field or hurtful
employment, idleness or ineffectual
employment, and thus induce and
persuade the vast, wasted excess into
useful fields.
Zone of the unanswerable criti-
cisms of the draft has been that it
takes men from the farms and from
all useful employments and marches
them past crowds of idlers and loaf
ers away from the army. The RENE
dy is simple-to couple the indus
trial basis with other grounds for
exemption and to require that any
man pleading exemption on any
grounds shall also show that he is
Contributing effectively to the indus
trial welfare of the nation.
"The regulation itself makes plain
the determination of the War Depart
ment. The great organization of To-
cal and district boards which has al
ready accomplished a notable work,
may be relied upon to catch the spirit
of the movement and sorely needed
man power will soon be flowing into
the fields of useful endeavor or into
the other direction of military
strength
Theatrical performers were except

do without all amusement in war
time and that the other amusements
