Says Men in Service
Appreciate the Way
People Support Them

Ensign F. A. Robbins of the
United States navy has been in the
city during the last few days visit
ing old friends. For some years
Ensign Robbins was sales manager
for the Cudahy Packing company
Of South Omaha. Later he was
transferred to Chicago, and shortly
after entered the service as a second
class seaman. After entering the
service he took an intensive six
months course at the Pelham Bay
Naval Training station, which is
said to be equal to the regular four
year course at Annapolis. Complet-
ing this course he was transferred to
Cleveland, where he was assigned to
a boat which made all the important
points on the Great lakes.
Robbins, says that every man in
the service surely appreciates the
way the people at home stood back
of them in every way. and states
it is his opinion that the unstinted
loyalty of the people at home had
more to do with the boys success
on the field than anyone can realize.

Minimum Price to Remain
Same; Thinks Foreign De-
mand Will Keep Mar

In accordance with the latest rul-
ing by the food administration and
a subcommittee OF the agricultural
advisory board and hog raisers and
packers, that the minimum price on
hogs continue at $3.50 for the
month of December as it was in
November, w. B. Tagg, president of
the National and Omaha Live Stock
exchanges, said:
The Omaha market will continue
to pay an average OF II cents a
pound for hogs and no good or
merchantable hogs will sell less than
10 cents. | estimate that the de-
mand from foreign countries will be
so great that we will have a good
market for hogs until spring.
The price will warrant the pro-
Queer in finishing his hogs before
marketing them as no merchantable
hogs will sell under 10 cents"

WAR SAVINGS DRIVE.
Over a Quarter of a Million Dollars is
Pledged During Drive.

The people OF Bamberg county
have responded nobly to the govern
ment's call to pledge themselves to
save and buy war savings stamps.
Reports received up to Wednesday
morning show total for the county
of over s253,OOO. with reports from
five communities not yet in hand.
This puts us nearly 100000 ahead
of our June campaign quota Of
100000, but over 100000 below
our quota for the year, s3S0,000. 1t
is hoped that the committees will
continue their efforts until their
communities have pledged the year S
quota.
According to the reports issued hy

REP. CARTER NOT TO OFFER FOR
REELECTION.

To the people of Bamberg county:
Having received numerous inquiries
as to whether or not l shall stand
for reelection to the House Of Repre-
sentatives in the approaching pri-
mary, l feel it my duty to make this
brief statement.
While fully appreciating the
confidence expressed by innumer-
able requests which have come
to me urging that l offer my
services for a third term, circum-
stances compel me to say that shall
not stand Tor reelection at this time.
| deem it unnecessary to enter into
explanation of the reasons why. l
will state, however, that | have reach
ed this conclusion after some con-
sideration and hesitancy, for | real
ize that, as loyal citizen, one should
not turn a deaf ear to the call OF the
people for public services. Although
recognizing this and the duty one
owes to his county and State, he
must not overlook the duty he owes
as we'll to his home and those depen-
dent upon him. And, as further
reason, l might mention that, since
our country has been engaged in this
mighty conflict, I, as we'll as my part

Civic League Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Civic league was held with the
president, Miss Alma Black, on Fri
day evening. At the meeting several
important topics were discussed.
Among the most interesting to note
was the plan to have director ap-
pointed to take charge of the play
ground for the children. During va
cation children are restless and have
no place to play. The league has
equipped a nice ground and having
some one to supervise it, the children
will enjoy it more and form a habit
of going there for recreation. We
are strongly urged to care for the
children, to provide them with abund-
ant and decent recreation, that as a
nation we will be richly repaid for
so doing. Every community should
devote means for ample grounds for
the development of strong and happy
children. We are to look to them
for our future, therefore it's import
ant to develop their bodies to have
strong men and women. The chill
dren of the poor and rich alike have
the same instincts for play; so why
not have them properly cultivated?
Streets are no place for children to
play, neither physically, morally, nor
spiritually. Let us realize the neces-
sity of caring for the children of our
town now, and every parent cooperate
in making the children better by
aiding in some way the play ground.
The league needs the cooperation of
all and will appreciate any assist
ance in any way to help in bettering
our town in an aesthetic and moral
sense.

Methodist Missionary Meeting.

The meeting of the Woman's Mis-
sionary society Of the Methodist
church was held at the church at the
usual time. Mrs. Frank Bamoerg
was leader, and announced her sub
ject: 1.-The Christian LAVA Day
for Worship and Spiritual Culture. "
From time to time here of late we
women are having brought to our
attention the great Importance of
rightly using the Sabbath day.
Would that each member would prop
erly observe this day of rest and of
worship and of religious service.
Moreover we wish that we might see
this sacred day kept throughout our
country.
Quite few readings bearing upon
Sabbath observance were read, Bible
questions were asked and answered,
and a QUESTIONABLE on "the influences
in our community that are drawing
Christians away. from the religious
use Of the Sabbath" was discussed
by Mrs. Kirsch.
The treasurer reported eighty-five
dollars in the treasury.
The superintendent of social SER
vice reported the expenditure of
funds for needy family, and brought
other matters before us for thought
and action.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

Albert Curry, convicted of murdel
and sentenced to life Imprisonment
at the November, 1908, term o.
court in Bamberg, has been parolec
during good behavior by Governor
Richard I. Manning.
The Democratic executive com
mittee of this county met last WeeR
and fixed the assessments of the can
didates for various offices and named
the places at which campaign meet
inss will be held, notice of which ma!
be found in another column OF this
issue of The Herald.
The July term of court will con-
vene in Bamberg next Monday morn
ing with Judge Hayne F. Rice, o'
Aiken, presiding. Only equity bus
mess will be heard at this term, and
no Jury has been drawn. Last sum-
mer the term lasted about one hour
There is very little business TOR the
coming term to dispose of.
AS a result of collision, Joe
Mitchum, a negro, was painfully in
iured Monday. Mitchum was rid
ing a horse which collided with the
heavy truck of Mr.. E. w. Watson
loaded with several poplar logs. The
front wheel of the truck ran over
the negro's leg, severely bruising it.
The horse was injured slightly.
Questionnaires were mailed out
last week to the young men who reg
istered in the registration on June
5th. The order numbers were drawn
in Washington last Thursday. The
new registrants will be classified the
same as those of last year, but it is
stated that practically all OF the
new registrants will come under
class one, as very few of them are
married or have dependents.
Mr.. J. Carl Kearse writes: L al
ways enjoy reading your paper and
especially so since 1 am SO far away.
As you know 1 am stationed at the
U. S. proving grounds here in Mary
land. This is where all the guns
ammunition, fighting implements
etc., are tested before they are sent
abroad. / am assigned to the legal
section, so don't get very much &C
tuaI experience in the testing. How
ever, my Office is located so near the
firing line that I have very good
idea of how a real battle must
sound"

W. :. >. Cash Sales.

The cash quota for Bamberg county
in the War Savings drive was S32,-
900, 20 per cent. of the total June
quota. The amount of cash sales
for June, according to the records
of the Bamberg postoffice Wednes-
day morning was s39,667.OO, and
there are very probably other reports
to come in. Many purchasers did not
buy their stamps until July and these
are not included in the June totals.

tifcation of his telegram he cited the
food administrators of the South to
the condition in Bamberg county, and
urged them to encourage the con-
struction of mills and warehouses so
as to take care of the situation.
With reference to your statement
that you were informed that farmers
of Georgia were allowed to grind
wheat without any limit: This is true,
just as it was true in South Caro-
lima and every other State. There
was no restriction upon mill at Bam-
berg grinding a supply for farmer,
but neither the Bamberg mill nor the
Georgia mill could deliver more than
thirty days supply. So that while
this statement was correct, 1t at the
same time was deceiving. The de-
partment can issue only general or
der. Therefore, when as result of
my efforts in behalf of the Bamberg
farmers the administrator was con-
vinced there should be some modifi-
cation, he sent a telegram, a copy OF
which your county administrator has,
addressed to the administrator of
Georgia, as we'll as other States, mod
flying the order so as to permit the
mills to deliver three months supply.
For this service I have been thanked
by Georgians, who benefited as did
cur own people.
AS a result of my efforts this morn
ing a telegram was sent not only to
Elliott, food administrator for South
Carolina, but to the food administra-
tor of Georgia and every other Sou
tEern State modifying the order and
granting the mills permission to de-
liver twelve months supply. I have
no doubt that the people of Georgia
will also appreciate this, but have
long since realized the truth of the
statement that mo prophet is with
out honor save in his own country.
The fact is that the farmers of Bam-
berg county by taking this matter
up with me have succeeded not only
in helping themselves, but in helping
the farmers of Georgia as we'll as
those of every other Southern State
Your letter clearly presented your
case and l wish to thank you for writ
ing me. and assure you that if at any
time l can serve you l shall be glad
to do so. With kindest personal re-
CARDS, l am sincerely yours,
JAMES F. BYRNES.
