government agents, who today sealed
up a cellar here which they claim

band liquor, wholesale bootlegging
establishment has been revealed.
With the arrest OF 0avid Shaw Of
Macon, Ca, the government men
claim to have put stop to the ship
ping of $4,000 worth Of whiskey a
month into Georgia. The manner in
which the liquor was shipped, accord
ing to the government men, was in
the form of barrels of tar! A three
inch layer of tar was put in the bot
tom of the barrel. Then quantity
of bottled whiskey with the bottles
wrapped. in wax paper to prevent
sticking, was put in. Tar was poured
in on these and the process repeated
until the barrel was filled, with the
three inches of tar on the top. Then
the barrel was sealed and shipped to
it's destination, said by the officials

UNPUBLISHED CASUALTIES.
Pershing Estimates Number Yet to
Come 66,S92.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Casualties
of the American expeditionary forces
which have not been published, but
which have been announced officially
by Gen. Pershing, had been reduced
at noon December Is to a total of
66,S92. These, the War Department
announced today, were classified as
follows:
Major casualties, including killed
in action, died of wounds, died of
disease and died of other causes, l.
$50; wounded, 64,S62; missing and
prisoners, $50.
A large proportion of the 64,S62
names listed as wounded are minor
cases, it was said, many patients hav-
ing long since recovered and return
ed to duty. Officials explained that
the total is really less, due to the fact
that Gen. Pershing's totaf-included
marine casualties of 1902 killed and
more than 1000 wounded, which al
ready have been published by the
marine corps headquarters here.

REDEEM YOUR WAR SAVINGS PLEDGE!
To the Citizens of Bamberg County:-

To the Citizens of Bamberg County
I must again call your attention to the very un-
enviable position our county holds in regard to
redeeming our pledges made during the June cam
paign for War Savings. It made us thrill with
county pride when we found that Bamberg was the
first county in the United States to PLEDGE her
quota, and that we ranked second among the coun-
ties of our State in the amount pledged per cap
tia, but now we find that in the matter or RE-
DEFINING our pledges we rank FORTY-FIRST
Just four counties below us-it doesn't make us
feel good
Friends as see it, it would have been better for
us not to have pledged one cent than to pledge
large amounts and fail to buy them. THE GOOD
NAME AND HONOR OF our COUNTY IS AT
STAKE! Other counties are pointing to us and
saying: "You made a great hurrah over your
pledges, but we notice you are not coming up with
the goods"
refuse to believe the people will allow this to
remain so.
Time is out December 31st. Buy yours and see
that your neighbor buys his

FLU TAKES HEAVY TOLL.

successful firms. He is survived by
his father and mother, three sisters

ber 2.3.-Fome Lads in Division.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Gen. Per-
shing cabled the War Department to-
day that pra ractically complete reports
of deaths in action among the expe-
dictionary forces should reach the de-
partment by December 20, and of Sc
verely wounded by December 81.
Total casualties to November 23
in the Thirtieth division North

nessee National Guard) were given
as 1923. The casualties were classi-
fled as follows: Killed in action, l.
1853; died of wounds, 23S; died of
disease, 15 died of other causes, 5;
severely wounded, 1,1S1; wounded,
degree undetermined, sos; slightly
wounded, 1913; missing or captured,
1913.
Gen. Pershing reported that the
number of duplicated casualties dis
covered in the central records office
since November 27 would not operate
to reduce the total for the entire ex-
peditionary forces, given in his sum-
mary of that date as additional cas-
ualties reported more than offset the
duplicates. In asking regarding the
casualties in the Thirtieth division
the department said there had been
much apprehension here about the
losses of this unit, which helped the

NEWSPAPERS AND THE WAR.
Weekly and Seni-Weekly Publica'
tions Suffered Most.

The Republican publicity associa-
ton, through the president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has given out
the following statement from its
Washington headquarters:
''No other business has been bit
harder by the war than the news
paper business, particularly in the
smaller cities and country towns.
The larger metropolitan papers prob
ably suffered least. During 1917
more than 1900 publications went
out of business. After making al
lowances for new papers started 1t
appears that there Vas net loss of
62 dailies and 500 weeklies.
"The mortality statistics for 1918
will probably show as great a loss
for the storage Of paper, the in
creasing cost of all kinds of supplies,
and the higher wages, together with
the heavy call upon newspaper men
for military service, have been more
severe this year than last.
"And one of the serious features
of the situation is that the people OF
the country probably do not realize
that the most valuable portion OF
the press has sustained the greater
loss. Under popular government the
country press, including not only
the country weeklies, but the smaller
dailies, is the real voice of the peo-
pie. Editors of large metropolitan
papers do not have and cannot have
the close touch with the people that
is a necessary incident of the life OF
the country editor. Just as Wash
ington is the poorest place In the
country to get in line on the political
thought of the nation, so the big city
newspaper office is the poorest place
to get a correct picture of national
thought, either political or other
wise. The people of the United
States should realize this, and should
see to it that whatever else happens
the country press shall be maintained
Freedom of speech and of the
press is the first essential of a re-
publican form of government, for the
representatives of the people cannot
know the thought and aspirations
and desires of their constituents un-
less voiced through the mediumshlp
of the local press to which they have
access either directly, through the
publication of communications, or in
directly through the editors inter-
pretation of the reviews of his COM
munity.
1.-The country press, including the
smaller dailies, represents the pro-
ducing element of our national life.
The large metropolitan press repre-
sents the commercial factors. Just
as production is the first essential of
a permanent prosperity, so the main
tenance of that portion of the press
that speaks for the producers is most
important.
1.-The metropolitan press has its
place in our national life and nobody
| wishes it i'll. The fact remains how
ever, that the vital interests of the
nation are most promptly and most
clearly represented and the thought
of the people most freely and most
courageously voiced by the country
press. The people of the country
may not see it now, but they will
some day realize that the large pre-
ponderance of suspensions among the
weekly publications is a menace to
national welfare"

OF course, the kitchens felt it, the
strain of that pursuit. Slum and cof-
fee were brewing in transit, the driv-
er lashing, the K. P. stoking, the
cook stirring. One mountainous
cook, the beginning and end of whose
religion-which will get him to heav-
en-is to carry hot food to the front
line, come what may, reinforced his
mules with a huge German horse and
then pushed the kitchen most of the
way with human muscles. A hungry
passerby begged a bit Of another
cook. "Sorry, Buddy, but I've just
sent the last drop forward" Good"
said the beggar.
That was the spirit Of the pursuit.
One sergeant was given a timber
loaded with we'll filled thermos cans.
Here's some food for the dough-
boys. They are miles and miles up
that way somewhere Get it to them
And he did, though his rig baked at
the last bridgeless stream and he had
to carry the cans on his back over
the last stretch.
Real War of Movement.
But only the message bearers can
really tell the story. One of them
would start forward with tidings
for P. G. that had moved on sew
eral miles during the morning. Now,
with night coming on, he would push
on afoot, wriggling through stalled
traffic that even a motorcycle could
not penetrate, slipping in the mud,
taking the wrong turning, using his
last match to consult his map once
more, getting back to the right road
cropping his way forward and finally
stumbling through the dark to where
crack of candle light, cleaning un-
der the flap of gunny sack curtain,
told him he had reached his goal.
"Here's a message for the brigade
commander"
"Well, he amt here. This is an
engineer headquarters now. The bri-
gade P. C.. is up six kilometers ahead.
Or at least it was late this afternoon.
There was some talk of it's moving
on"
Here was war of movement with a
vengeance. And, after all, it is in
such a cross country battle as devel-
oped in Argonne on November l that
the affiliation between all branches
of the service is strained and tested.
It is easy enough to maintain liaison
in trench warfare, it is another mat
ter when the battle line lurches for
ward nine kilometers in single day.
Yet never have all the arms of the
First American Army shown better
team work than during the past
week. Artillery and infantry sang
each others praises as they logged
along together. The airplanes were
go-betweens, and when the guns
could not reach the receding enemy
line in time, the aircraft substituted
for the guns, travelling back and forth
with loads of bombs.
Also, they bombed the main Ger
man railway, hectored enough as it
was, with the sorry business of the
retreat They bombed the railway
centers. At Montmedy on Tuesday,
for example, an expedition Of 145 of
our planes wrought most gratifying
distinctions. The overhead combats
were incessant. When it is reported
that during the first three days Of the
fight we lost 29 planes in bringing
down 1874, the whole story has not
been told. It should be added that
quite 80 per cent Of these combats

 INTENSELY PATRIOTIC ADDRESS

magnificent. This year we will make them even bigger and better and will even more sacrifice our own personal comfort and enjoyment to the greater purpose of national suc- cess. I do not mean by this that our pre-war activities will be aban- doned. On the contrary they will be continued and promoted in every way that will not interfere with our greater purpose. We will work and labor as before, yet we will make any sacrifice necessary to help our coun- try and to bring success to its noble purposes, subordinating in whole or in part our other workO as may be necessary to the attainment of that glorious end. In doing this, ill working with and for our country, in sacrificing our personal enjoyment and pleasures and in giving of our labor and substance, we are not for getting but only emphasizing the principles that unite us, for Charity in all its aspects could not better be exemplified than by winning this war Justice could not be more perfectly attained than by winning this war Brotherly Love in its highest sense could be no better advanced than by winning this war and Fidelity to the highest degree to everything we hold dear, means that we will win this war.
 So, in conclusion today, as your chosen leader for the coming year, as your representative chosen by your oT1SI representative of 500,00O loyal, red blooded, patriotic American Elks, (and thank God there are no other kind), I pledge you anew to this end and proclaim our slogan to be Twin the War" We renew our obliga- tions of fidelity to our country. We place our all upon the altar of pa triotism. We tender our service in fact dedicate our labor, our love, our substance and our lives to one single purpose and that purpose is to win the war; to win 1t as speedily as pos sible but not to cease our efforts as an Order and as individuals until it is completely won in such a way as will give us forever the establishment of the great ideals for which we are fighting and will forever drive Prus- siacn mflitarism and autocracy from the face of the earth. Until that is done we have not won this war, and to the attainment of that glorious end we dedicate our Order, it's members and its service, until complete victory shall perch upon our banners and shall mark the result of our labors Again, my brothers, I thank you
