Almost Fight for Gasoline.

Last week, after the gasoline short
age had been on for several days,
almost a disturbance was created
right on Main street when a local
dealer received four drums of gas
which he had sent a truck to Black
vile for. The crowd gathered
around as if they had never seen
any before and it was a regular show.
Automobiles and other consumers
had a tough scramble trying to get
up where they could get their share.
The local situation was relieved
on Saturday when tank containing
about 5000 gallons of gas arrived
in the city. This will provide the
consumers for a few days at least.
Last week a good many gas users
received a sad disappointment. After
being without the precious fluid for
some time, the good news was rapidly
spread that 5000 gallons was on the
side track here. Later they found
out that it was not gasoline at all,
but was a tank of kerosene.

May Plant Watermelons.

Some discussion has been going
around in BAN berg county among the
growers of watermelons whether or
not it would be advisable to plant
melons for market this year. 1t was
a matter of doubt whether or not
watermelons would be classed as
food product; in case melons were
not so classed, it, of course, would
be extremely doubtful if cars would
be available for shipping to North
ern markets. The letter below re-
ceived by Congressman ]. F. Byrnes
from Herbert Hoover, national food
administrator, clears up this point.
It will be noted that the food admin,
istrator classes watermelons as per-
ishable foodstuff, and that he will
render all assistance possible in pro-
viding proper transportation facili-
ties, and the fact that he advises the
planting of melons is taken to mean
that it will be advisable to plant this
crop as usual. The letter follows:
United States Food Administra-
ton, Washington, D. c., Jan. 29
1918. Hon. James F., Byrnes, House
of Representatives, Washington, D.
G..
MY dear congressman: :-Acknowl
edging receipt of your letter Of jan
uary 21, and returning herewith let
ter dated January II from Mr.. ].
V. Morrison:
"Watermelons are classed along
with other perishable foodstuffs, and
the food administration will render
ali assistance possible in seeing that
the necessary transportation is af-
forded when the shipping season
commences. There is no reason why
you should not advise your friend
and constituent that there is no con-
dition that should prevent the U.s.
ual planting. Yours faithfully,
"HERBERT HOOVER"

Red Cross Doing Good Work.

The Bamberg Red Cross chapter
is doing splendid work these days,
probably better than ever, and the
ladies have always done their part
and acquitted themselves we'll. They
are working hard and should be en-
couraged and made to feel that we
all appreciate and take pride in their
achievements. On Thursday the la
dies of the Bamberg chapter shipped
to headquarters in Atlanta three
large boxes containing the following
useful articles for our soldiers: 80
sweaters, 13S pillows, % hospital
bed shirts, 6 pairs of pajamas, Z
pairs of socks, 1 pair of wristlets,
and helmets.
This is the largest shipment the
chapter has yet made and it must be
gratifying to those who have labored
so diligently to see such growing
Interest in the work of the chapter
and it's branches. Probably no Red
Cross chapter in the State similar in
size to the Bamberg chapter has sur
passed the excellent work of this
chapter, for boxes have continually
been going from here to headquar-
tiers, and other splendid work has
been done by the ladies ever since
the local chapter was organized.

Many Nitrate Applications.

County Demonstration ]. J. Heard
Informed The Herald Tuesday that he
had forwarded to the proper author
tiles the applications of Bamberg
county farmers for nitrate of soda.
The last day upon which application
could be made was Monday of this
week. Mr.. Heard stated that he had
received applications for 1926 tons
of the fertilizer, which is to be fur
nished by the government at 5000
per ton. This amount, no doubt, is
far in excess of the amount which
will be allotted Bamberg county, as
the supply is very limited, only 100,-
900 tons having been procured from
South America for this seasons crops.
Figured on the basis Of equal county
apportionment, at this same rate
it would take $4,000 tons to provide
South Carolina alone, or one-half of
the total amount available. Thus
it will be seen that the farmers can
not hope 10 secure but a fractional
part of what they would like to get.
Mr.. Heard desires to express his
appreciation of the valuable assis-
tance rendered by the county COM
mittee; also of the assistance of E.
D. Jenkins, colored, of VOORHEES,
school, who did good work among
the colored farmers.

tilizer company, of Clio, has been re-
voked and the concern ordered to
close up it's business not later than
February 6, the food administration
announced last week. Speculation
in and boarding cottonseed was the
reason assigned The company had
on hand 100000 pounds of seed and
only operated two and half days
within the past year, it was stated.
The ground hog did not see his
shadow-at least No Bamberg ground
hog saw his shadow, for heavy clouds
obseured Old Sol all day. According
to the ground hog legend, this means
that winter is over. Had the ground
hog seen his shadow he would have
returned to his hole to remain for
six weeks, indicating six weeks more
of cold weather. Not seeing his
shadow he is supposed to stay out, as
warm weather has arrived.

siderable attention to each other, but

closest friends, and consequently was
a very quiet one and witnessed by
only a few people.

Fire Department Organized.

A complete organization of the
Bamberg fire department was effected
at meeting of representative citi-
zens here Thursday afternoon when
much interest was manifested and
active preparations planned for sys-
tematic fire fighting in emergencies.
Twelve men were made active men,
bers of the department, all pledging
themselves to do their utmost when
needed, and to be on the job at all
times possible. Mr.. w. D. Rhoad
was elected chief, and the other Off
GERS elected are as follows: Cap
tains, D. w. Phillips and H. l.. Hin
nant; secretary, A. B. Utsey; drivers
of the motor truck, Eddie Jackson
and J. B. Brickle; members to study
the chemical devices of the motor
truck, NJ. G. Cooner and A. l.. Ed
wins. Each man was assigned some
definite and exact duty during fire,
and will be expected to be in his
proper place and to do exactly that
which has been mapped out for him.
In this way it is believed that an
effective fire fighting team has been
gotten together which will prove of
untold value to the city in the fu-
ture. The twelve members of the
Bamberg fire department are as fol-
lows: w. D. Rhoad, D. w. Phillips,
