Mr.. A. w. knight has received an
urgent letter from the treasurer of

asking for funds to defray the ex-
penses of senatorial and congression-
al campaigns throughout the country.
Strong fights r being waged by the
Republicans all over the nation, and
in order to meet the situation there
is an urgent need of funds at once.
Everybody is<busy-very busy, and
no one has time to make a canvass to
secure these. very necessary funds,
so The Herald has consented to re-
ceive contributions for this purpose.
Come right in without waiting for
some one to call on you. If you have
not time to come, drop a check in the
postofice addressed to The Herald,
and we will see that the proper au-
thorities get the money.
1t is hoped to raise at least SIS

a liberal sized check today and send
it in to us. The following subscrip.
tons are acknowledged:
John H.. Cope -. $500
E. G. Hays 500

Izlar and Sergeant Elson Harmon
Whitacre, Of Camp Hancock, Angus
ia, Ca, were married Sunday in
Grace church at North Augusta, the
Rev: Hamlin Etheredge, pastor of that
church, officiating. Only the family
of the bride was present, although a
large number of friends in Orange
burg and throughout the State we're
interested on account of the popu-
larity of the bride. Mrs. Whitacre
is the youngest daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. J. Izlar, and has been n of
the social favorites in Orangeburg,
where she is prominently connected.
The bridegroom is from Ohio and is
at present an instructor in machine
gun work at Camp Hancock.

Pay Your Red Cross Pledge.

The Herald is requested by the
Red Cross campaign committee to
call attention to the fact that Octo-
Der l is the last date on which the
pledges to the Red Cross fund are to
be paid, and to urge all contributors
to make good their promises. Mr..
w. D. Rhoad is the treasurer of this
fund
1t is useless to attempt to go into
the merits of the Red Cross
at this stage of the campaign,
for they are fully known to all con
tributors. 1t may be stated that the
work of the Red Cross is based on
the contributions pledged during the
campaign, and that it is absolutely
necessary to collect all monies pledg-
ed.
The treasurer will prepare, after
October 1st, a list of all those who
have not paid their pledges, and this
list will be published. Be careful to
see to it that your name is not on
this list.

Two Secure Commissions.

Two more Bamberg county boys
have been commissioned as second
lieutenants in the army, both from
Denmark.
Thomas E. Steadman, it is an
nounced from Washington, was ap.
pointed second lieutenant iH the
quartermaster corps, and Hammond
M. Crum has been commissioned a
second lieutenant of calvary at the
fourth officers training school at
Fort Bliss, Texas.
These are both sterling young men.
and their appointment comes as a
recognition of their ability. Both
young men have numerous friends
all over the county, to whom the
news of their commission as Off
GERS will be read with interest.

To Colored Red Cross Subscribers.

Editor The Bamberg Herald de-
sire to give notice through your col
umns to the several scores of our
fellow men and colored citizens,
chairmen, cashier and collector for
the second Red Cross campaign fund,
that there is a large amount of the
subscriptions which as yet is not
paid, and Oct. LIST is the last date
for all the subscriptions to be paid
in full. Therefore 1 urge and ask all
the subscribers to this much needed
fund 70 pay at once and do not per
nit a single blank to be on your part.
The boys are dying not for them
selves only, but for us as well. Let
US show them that We are with
them in spirit and in reality. Pay up
the Red Cross subscription in full be-
fore or by Oct. 1st. Mr.. w. E. Free,
attorney, over the Bamberg Banking
Co., will receive your subscription
and give you receipt, and turn the
money over to Mr.. w. D. Rhoad,
treasurer of the fund, with whom
1 have left a receipt book.
Now is the time for the committee
to raise $500 for the dependents of
the soldiers who are over the seas
fighting for the freedom Of the world.
1 wish one dollar from every color
ed man, soc from every colored wo-
man, and 25c from every colored boy
and girl for this needy cause. Yours
for lasting pease and fairplay to all
mankind. H. H.. MATTHEWS.

The "Old Hickory Division.

The 30th division, now in service
and probably in action on the western
front in Europe, is known as the
"Old Hickory" division. This is of
peculiar interest in Bamberg, because
of the fact that quite a number of
Bamberg boys are members of the
30th division.
The division is composed of South
Carolinians and Te"nnesseans. 1t was
named "Old Hickory" in honor of
Andrew Jackson, who was born in
South Carolina, although there are
any number of people who will argue
that it was North Carolina, and who
lived for the greater part of his life
in Tennessee. Therefore the divis-
ion is most appropriately named.

Red Cross Notes.

The Red Cross work rooms are
open now and all the members are
urged TO visit the headquarters and
see what they may find to do.
The new knitting machine has ar
rived and is ready for use, and it. is
hoped there will be many who will
learn how to operate it.
The surgical dressing class will
soon beginjn earnest and those who
desire to join this class should see
Mrs. John H. Cope at once. An in
structor from ~Orangeburg has been
secured, and the class will soon be-
gin in earnest.
Now that summer vacations are ov-
err, it is urged that the ladies become
more interested in this work. So
many of u boys are in the active
service on the front it should make
US feel that our duties are very i'm
perative to the cause.

DIR. Brabham Goes to Camp Shelby.

DR.. Vance w. Brabham, of Orange
burg, State director of rural santa
ton has been ordered to Camp Shelby,
Harrisburg, Miss. DR.. Brabham only
recently assumed the duties of direc-
tor of rural sanitation, succeeding DR..
L. A. Riser, who has been commits
stoned with the rank of captain in the
medical corps.
DR.. James A. Hayne, State health
officer, wired Congressman Lever and
Colonel Caldwell of the surgeon gen.
erals Office asking them to use their
influence with the war department to
have the order revoked. Colonel Cald-
we'll ~telegraphed DR.. Hayne in reply
that the order had been revoked, and
DR.. Brabham would be allowed to re-
main here and continue his work.
Later a telegram was received from
the assistant surgeon general saying
that the service was in need of doc
tors so bad now that it would be I'M
possible to revoke the order.
DR.. Hayne said Sunday that the
State board of health was already
crippled for the want of expert ply
sicians and he felt that DR.. Brab-
ham could be of more service here
than in the army. DR.. Hayne said
that it was absolutely essential that
the health of the State be maintained
and the State board of health is do
ing all in it's power to do this. DR..
Riser, DR.. Folk, DR.. Egleston and
others have already gone from the
board of health and to lose DR.. Brab-
ham at the present time would (seri-
ously cripple this important branch
of the work.-Columbia State.

Letter From Private j. Fl. Johns.

be interested in the following letter
from him written from France or
August 9th to his brother, Mr.. ]. A
Johns, of Ehrhardt:
Dear Allen:-I will drop you .
few lines. This leaves us all well
I have written all the rest and can't
get any answer. I truly hope these
few lines may find you all we'll. AL.
len, I am now somewhere in France
l have been in the front line trench
es, and am just getting back for a
rest. I went out on several patrols
while l was up on the front, and be-
lieve me, it didn't look so good out
on No Mans Land neither, but we
went to the German barbwire the
first night 1 was out and the shells
just played a tune over my head,
but we all got back safe. We are
giving them trouble now. We cap
tured some every day, and 1 don't
think it will last much longer. /
am longing for it to finish so I can
get back in the good old U. S. A.
once more. We have a big time
every day catching Coolies. We call
it "tshirtraiding' and believe me
there is plenty of them over here.
Well, I guess 1 had better close by
asking you to answer soon. From,
