A movement is on foot here and
throughout the county to have all
the stores and business houses in

agitated as national idea through
out the nation at the instigation of

would be used in supplying lights
By the various plants. The move
ment for Bamberg county is being
headed by Mr.. J: A. Wyman, chair
man of the fuel administration for
