No 1-Cent Letter Postage Here.

Postmaster Knight states that since
the first of July a number of persons
have dropped letters in the mail box
at the postoffice for city delivery with
one-cent stamps attached to them.
He wishes to call attention to the fact
that there is no one-cent letter pos
tage rate for the Bamberg postof1ce.
The impression appears to prevail
among some that when wartime pos
tai rates were discontinued on July
1, letters could be mailed for town
delivery at the old rate of one cent
each, but this is not the case. Bam-
berg has not had one-cent letter pos
tage since the Inauguration Of mail
delivery by carrier, at which time
the rate was advanced to two cents,
However, when wartime pastal rates
were made effective, the rate of two
cents for city delivery letters was not
increased. The two-cent rate for R.
F. D. letters from the Bamberg office
also was not changed. The rate on
all other letters was increased to
three cents. When wartime postal
rates were discontinued the identical
rates prevailing before became effect
i've. which is two cents for all letters
mailed at the Bamberg postof1ce, no
matter to what points they are to be
delivered. All postal cards are mail
ed for one cent.

BUILD ROAD THROUGH CITY.
Citizens Decide That it is Up to the
Town to Build Highway.

The fact that the Columbia-Savan-
nah highway goes right through the
heart of Bamberg has been a matter
of deep concern to the people of the
city for some time. The people of
Bamberg are, of course, delighted
because the road comes this way, and
yet it has been very disappointing
because the improved road ceases at
the entrance into the city limits on
both sides of town.
In order to see what could be done
about this matter, meeting Of the
citizens was called for several days
ago, at which time, not having any
estimate at hand to work on, another
meeting was scheduled for Monday
evening, at which time a contractor
Mr.. J. R. Beazley, who is construct
ing the highway for the county and
the State highway commission, ap-
peared before the citizens and sub
mitted a price for building the road
through town. Mr.. Beazley stated
that his concern would carry the
highway through the city for $4,000
the city to furnish the necessary clay
A committee from the citizens
meeting has already arranged to Sc.
cure the clay free of charge, and sc
reported Monday. After a free dis
cussion of the entire matter, it was
unanimously decided that the road
must be carried through Bamberg
that it would never do for the high
way to stop at the entrance to the
town. Consequently, a committee
was named to raise the funds. 1t ap
pears to be impossible at the present
time to raise funds for this purpose
by taxation, and there would be toe
much delay in voting bonds for the
purpose; therefore, the easiest route
to attain the desired end was decided
on. The committee will canvass the
citizens of the town and secure sub
scriptions to build the highway.
Previous to Mondays meeting ap
proximately $1,000 had been pledged
for this purpose, and no difficulty i:
anticipated in the raising of thi:
fund,

APPLY FOR MORE FEDERAL AID.
County Commissioners Want to Build
Charleston-Augusta-ROad.

At the monthly meeting of the
board of county commissioners Mon
day, the board decided to make ap-
plication for federal aid in construct
ing the Augusta-Charleston highway
through this county. This road would
extend from the Barnwell line, near
Blackville, to the Orangeburg line, at
the Edisto river near Branchville.
AS soon as the supervisor files ap-
plication with State highway depart
ment, a preliminary survey will be
made, and the application will be
passed on by the highway department.
If favorable action is taken by the
State highway department, survey
of the road will be made and filed
with the good roads authorities at
Washington.
No doubt is expressed as to secur-
ing federal aid. Bamberg county 5
part will be in securing funds
for paying for its one-ha'f cost
of the road This will be up to
the legislative delegation. The coun-
tv commissioners and supervisor are
very anxious to use every available
dollar of federal road money allotted
to the county.
If this road is constructed, it will
give the county, in addition to the
several roads built by the chain gang
within the past few years, two gov
ernment highways through the coun,
ty. One road is being built now, and
| it is hoped to have everything in
working shape to start the construc,
tion of the Charleston-Augusta road
as soon after the completion of the
mbia-Savannah road as possible

LETTER FROM OVERSEAS.
Private George c. Beard Writes From
Marseille, France.

Editor The Herald:-As I begin
to think it impossible for me to go
home, I will drop few lines to those
who haven't forgot that used to live
in the United States.
Now, before I came to this place
they call marseille six weeks ago, I
was just having the best days of>my
life (that is, mean in France) and
now, since I've been here it seems
as though it has just turned around.
I am here, where I am telling hun
dreds of boys goodbye every day, and
I don't mean that am saying good
bye to them and that I will meet
them on the street next day. l mean
that stand and watch them pull out
of the harbor bound for New York.
I've been so close to the ships that
just q couple Of steps more and
would have been ready to sail, but
| I happened to stop and think for a
moment and realize that I am still
with my dear old uncle yet, and, of
course, that means to remain in
France until he says return.
At first when I saw the boys on
their way home felt like, well,
know hardly how it does make a
fellow feel. Just ask some Of the
boys who have been over here; they
can explain it easier than l can, be-
cause they are home now, but be
sure that you ask some one who has
been over here. The reason l say
that is because I expect it is hard to
tell a soldier who has been across
from one who has not.
I walked past sentry on his post
few nights ago and, as usual, he
halted me, but just to have a talk
more than anything else. The first
thing he asked me was, when are
you going home?" and he commenc-
ed talking about warfare and so on.
He said that war is hell, but peace is
worse, and after I have thought it
over, I agree with him myself l am
working harder at the present time
than ever before. I am working II
hours per day, and at night at that.
It seems to me since I have been on
this job that everybody tries to get
sick or something of the kind makes
Bill" cans and every man that gets
sickor something of the kind makes
that much more work for me-. (I am
a medic.) So, you know what am
doing.
The next war that comes along I
think I shall prefer some other branch
of service besides the M. c., that is
|if I ever get out of this one.
Well, at any rate, I would like to be
home for a change to see what it's
like once more. The way things look
now I really believe I will be there
some old day, but I don't know when.
Guess had better ring off for while
and see if can see any mademoiselle
pass the streets that I don't know.
Ou, la, la! Thanking you very much
for your time in reading this, sincere
ly, PRVT. GEO. C. BEARD,
Embarkation Camp, A. P. o. 752.,
Marseille, France.
