Liberty Loan Meeting.

Last Sunday morning the Baptist
and Methodist congregations united
in a union service at the Methodist
church in the interest of the fourth
liberty loan, at which Sergeant Mil
Ter, of Camp Jackson, made an ad-
dress. The speaker was introduced
by Prof. j. C. Guilds, and a most
interesting address was delivered.
For Gods sake don't allow this
peace talk to halt the progress of the
liberty loan," said Sergeant Miller,
who emphasized the fact that we are
treating with a most dangerous and
treacherous enemy, who have made
these peace offensives before.
In a calm and dispassionate way
Sergeant Miller made a most direct
and stirring appeal to the people to
buy bonds to the limit. He did not
take up any time in telling of Ger
man outrages, preferring to leave
that unsaid at this Sunday church
service, but confined himself entire
ly to the patriotic duty of the people
to back the government with their
money.
He depressed long enough, howev-
er, to tell of the sadness that pre-
walls among the French people, es-
pecially among the children, whom,
he said, lever smile. The war has
taken the cheerfulness out of their
lives, and the speaker characterized
this as one of the most awful con-
sequences of the invasion of France.
Sergeant Miller is a most striking
speaker. 1t will be interesting to
those who have heard him on his
two visits to Bamberg to know that
he is a graduate of Boston Tech,
and was in France at the time of
the declaration of war by the United
States. He was vice president of
the California branch OF the Plerc-
Arrow automobile company, and was
representing his company in Paris
at the time. In this way Sergeant
gained much frst-hand infor-
nation concerning the war and the
part the French have taken Nm it.
When America entered the war he
returned home, sold his interests in
California, invested all his money
in liberty bonds, and then Joined the
army as an engineer. His wife also
entered the service, and is now doing
clerical work in one of the many
war branches in washington.
Sunday afternoon Sergeant Miller
addressed a meeting of the colored
people at the colored Methodist
church, where he vas given a very
enthusiastic and attentive hearing.

SUNDAY JOY RIDING.
Saving of Gasoline Sufficient to Load
Ten Ships.

The saving affected by the auto
less Sundays has enabled the govern.
ment to send to France ten shiploads
of gasoline, of $4,000 barrels each
M. l.. ,Requa director of the oil divis.
ion of the fuel administration de.
clared in a speech at Cooper Union,
New York, last Monday night. II
the American people had not com.
piled with the fuel administrations
request, he added, the ten cargoes
could not have gone forward.
The oil administrator presented
an array of interesting figures on oil
production and consumption upon
which the request for gasoline con-
servation is based and voiced the
opinion that lore gasoline had to be
saved if a scarcity was to be averted'
He said:
1--WE will need this year to meet
only a normal increase in consump-
ton not less than 25,000,000 barrels
of crude oil more than last year. We
used more than 100000 barrels
in 1897. This grew to 166,000,000
barrels in 1907. If we are to meet
the normal state of growth we must
have not less than 365,O00,0 900 bar
rels in 1918. This is Sc per cent. of
the total production of the world
and yet is not enough.
"In the first half Of 1918 u gaso-
line production has increased more
than 100000 barrels, but Jul con
sumption has more than kept pace
with this. Our stocks of kerosene
are 100000 barrels less than on
the first of this year and u stocks
of crude oil are 100000 barrels
less.
| Cali demands for export will con-
tinue to be met from the 100000 900
barrels of crude oil, the 100000
barrels of kerosene and the 100000
900 barrels of fuel oil that will prob
ably be produced this year."
The 100000 barrels thus exported,
he said, was equivalent to 100000
gallons, which represented an ap-
Proclamation of the saving accomp-
lished by the autoless Sunday.

Important Notice.

Chairman j. A. Virgins, of the
liberty bond campaign, requests The
Herald to announce that on account
of the orders of the State Board of
Health, it has been necessary to call
off all public meetings in connection
with the campaign for the sale of
fourth issue liberty bonds in Bamberg
county.
In view of this fact, the various
committees are asked to exert all pos
sible effort to carry the campaign to
a full success, and the people are
asked to buy bonds with as much lib
crafty as is possible. In this way,
it is hoped that the failure to hold
public meetings wifi not become an
obstacle to the success of the cam
paign.

CAN'T STOP US AT THE FRONT.
Don't Let Them Think They Can
Stop Us Here.-Buy Bonds.

On account of the widespread
sweep of the influenza, the commit
tees in charge of the liberty loan
drive will have to redouble their ef-
forts and make sure that the quota
for the entire county is fully sub
scribed. German propaganda is
booming and some of our people
think the war is almost over. The
intelligent people of Bamberg county
must 60 out armed with convincing
argument that the Hun is fighting us
right here, in our homes and COM
munity circles, with the deadly wea-
pom of intrigue. If We fail to sub
scribe the full call, six billions, the
kaiser will have won a victory over
us without the loss of a single shell.
Let us be up and doing, fellow coun-
trymen. The peril of the hour is
impending. I call upon every man
and woman in Bamberg county to
work in the drive with unabating
energy and zeal. I have been told
by a friend in Bamberg of the fine
work done by Mr.. Aaron Rice in a
former drive and the good success
he achieved. Mr.. Rice felt the need
of work. Let all of us do like he
did, get interested and go to the
rescue of u country. There are
influential men all over the county
upon whom we must rely for help.
I beg these men to serve without per-
sonal appeal from me or from local
committees. Your country is call
ing. Answer with a vim.
Your chairman wishes to publish
a complete list of the total subscrip-
tionss next week. Therefore, let ev-
cry bank in the county begin now to
make this report read I'm FULL"
The ladies all over the county are
working like beavers. A very credi-
table show for their earnest work is
predicted.
I urge extra sacrifice and work in
the drive this week. The time is
passing rapidly. The last lap will re-
quire our best service. Are you
ready? Let us advance. Yours for
the fourth liberty loan,
J. ARTHUR VIRGINS,
County Chairman.
