The Need Of
 The Times

Our Nation is proving over and over today that what Uncle Sam wants Is not more men but more man. This Is also the demand of our times in every department of life. civil, religious. polit- ical, professional and everywhere that man Is used, an insistent demand not for more men but for man And this type Is the man with clear. positive, religious, moral, and ethical convictions. Where is this type to be sought and found? In the dens of niquity, in the crowd of skeptics, or scoiters at religion. among the knockers and critics. or a. mong the national or community slack CTS? No, for in none of these crowds can the MAN be found that the times need and demand, for ideal manhood can only be found on the side of the Man of Galilee. The alignment of all the great men of our Nation from the President down proves this state ment.
 So If you want to be worth wbile. " line up on the side of the lowly Nazarene and commence by attending services next Sunday at one of the churches, and don't forget the bright. brief. brotherly, and helpful services in Dermott's popular homelike church, the Presbyterian church. Sunday Bible school at 9:45. morning service at II. subject .'The Great Persuasion, even ing service at 7:l5 "The Message of the Times. The musical part of these services Is a feature.

for the four short trout and costs
amounting to SEE. 1t is believed that
no small number Of trout below the
legal length have been taken. and
also that the fact that it is now
known that Warden Upton is on the

a wholesome effect on such fisher
mon as are not careful to sec that

Death of Mr.. George E. Crouch.

Private George E. Crouch, of the
three hundred and twenty-sixth field
signal battalion, Camp Wadsworth,
Spartanburg, a brother of Mrs. R. S.
Simmons, of Bamberg, was killed by
a northbound train on the Piedmo9t
& Northern railway six miles west
of Spartanburg at S:95 o'clock Sun
day night. The fender of the front
car struck the soldier a terrific blow
on the front Of the head and death
was instantaneous.
The remains were brought to Bam-
berg and interment occurred Wednes-
day afternoon at Springtown church.
Mr.. Crouch was born in this county
near the Springtown church. His
father moved away some ten or twelve
years ago, however. For several
years the young man had been living
in Texas, where he was telegraph
operator. He was drafted into the
army from Texas. He is remembered
by many Bamberg county people, and
his sudden and tragic death is greatly
deplored.

To Study Labor Saving Devices.

The extension service of Clemson
college and the U. S. department of
agriculture will hold farm tractor
school in Orangeburg on July "a for
Bamberg and neighboring counties.
The purpose of this school is to give
farmers instruction in the use OF
farm tractors and other farm labor
saving devices. In view of the scar
city of farm labor in this section,
farmers are sure to need labor saw
ing machinery on the farm, and mas
much as our farmers have had little
experience with tractors and other
labor saving devices, it will be we'll
for them to attend this school that
they may learn modern farming meth
DDS. Any further information con-
cerning this school may be had from
County Farm Demonstration Floyd.

Bought $2,2OO.OO Worth of W. S. S.

Gus Nimmons is one of the most
substantial colored citizens in Bam-
berg county. He is thrifty and law
abiding, and he backs his patriotism
with his money. Gus is well-to-do
planter, and has accumulated consid-
erable wealth. Saturday morning he
came into the Bamberg postoffice, and
asked to buy some war savings
stamps. He then produced checks
for $4,000 worth-s1,839.20. One
thousand dollars of this amount was
for himself, one thousand for his
wife and $500 for his son, Alex.
Alex has been drafted into the army
and is scheduled to leave for the
training camp today. Gus Nimmons
has set an example worthy of people
white and colored-to emulate. He
does not talk very much, but he is
willing to put his money into tho
hands of the government to win the
war. He is giving his son, but he
does not consider that giving his boy
is all that he can do.

A notable event of the week was
the party given by Misses Vera Wig
gins and Frances Guess, of Denmark,
on Friday afternoon, July 18th, at
the home of the latter, announcing
the engagement of Miss Ruth Guess
to Mr.. Reynold Connor Virgins. The
guests were entertained during the
afternoon at hearts-dice. Refresh
ments, consisting of salad and ice
cream, were served by little Miss
Grace Virgins. Immediately fol-
lowing, little Miss Frances Virgins
dressed as a miniature queen of
hearts, presented the guests with
double red hearts bearing the an
nouncement of the marriage, which
is to take place in September.

BUY STAMPS EARLY.
W. S. S. Pledge is Pledge to Govern.
ment.-Don't Fail to Keep 1t.

The State War Savings committee
urges that those who pledged them
selves in the June w. S. S. cam
paign to purchase war savings stamps
during the remaining months of the
year should not wait until the last
minute but should cooperate with the
government by purchasing the speci-
fed amount of stamps at the earliest
day possible. That is, if stamps are
pledged for July, the subscriber
should make every effort to purchase
them in the early part of the month.
This will make the work of the post
office and agents easier, and will
enable the State to make better
showing at Washington in the cam
paign. The committee points out
that the pledges were made to the
government, and, therefore, all
should cooperate to the fullest extent
in fulfilling the pledges.
