Work such as is to be carried on and conditions such as are to be met by the call to raise s3e, 100000 for aid in the Near- East, of which Connecticut is trying to raise s1,000,e00, and the Norwich district $12,o00, is described in a letter just received from Lieut. Charles H. Nutting by his sister, Mrs. T. Edward Davis, of Westminster, Canterbury.
 Lieutenant Nutting is in the Amer ican Red Cross unit in Serbia and what the Red Cross is doing there is to be paralleled among the Syrians, ArmeHianS, Greeks and Hebrews of Asia Minor by the Near East aid fund.
 Lieutenant Nutting's letter follows:
 Kremljani, Serbia, Dec. ,, 1918. My Dear Sister,
 We'll, the great war is about over all but 8 few minor details, such as executing the kaiser and a few others, etc., etc, etc, but the work of the American Red Cross, with much all ready accomplished, has only begun. The people of this country are entirely destitute, and they are coming back to their lands, their homes having been utterly estroyed-everyth:ng they had having been taken from them, and they have nothing to eat or wear, no tools, no seed to plant or sow, and a dreary, heart sick prospect.
 We-the American Red Cross are distributing seed, wheat and rye, wagons, tools, etc.; also we are feed ing many thousands of women and children every day, in different cen ters.
 We have about 150 German and Bulgar prisoners and about 90 Serbi- ans at work for us, so you can see it is quite some camp.
 It has been raining and showing here for about three weeks, and there is plenty of mud here. but the noun tains all around are covered deep with snow (snow is snake in Serbian lan- guage). |. Some time ago I lent my rubber ceat and hat to one of the Serbian chauf- feurs who was driving a large camion truck, moving one of the hospitals to Scopia, near the battle line, as he had no coat and it was raining, expecting to get 1t back in a week. This man was taken sick and was unconscious on the roadside for several hours While he was in this condition some one made off with my rubber coat and hat so I will be without one, as they cannot be had here at any price. ] am in the. tent with my overcoat on and yet nearly frozen. l must stop and warm my hands, as they are nearly frozen and 1 cannot write. On my way from Salonica into the interior of Serbia I passed an aerial railway (wire rope) over 25 miles long over the mountains, which the Huns used to transport ammunition. It was great piece of engineering, but they ] had burned every station and destroy ed the cables by burning them every little way. In one of their former

 The short span will swing open over the deepest part of the river channel. It is estimated that this work can all be done in 36 hours and that naviga- tion will be impeded only for this length of time.
 This is but part of the general scheme for transforming it from a railroad bridge into bridge for vehic- ular, trolley and pedestrian uses.

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-08-07
THE CAUSE OF LYNCHING.

This newspaper opposes, naturally,
the unlawful putting of anybody to
death, whether it be at the hands CT
an individual or at the hands Of a
number of men, even though that
number be composed of ordinarily
law-abiding citizens. The fact, how
ever, that newspapers or individuals
oppose lynching, does not and will
not prevent it. There is one crime
for the perpetration of which lynch
ings will doubtless continue, regard
less of what is said in opposition to
it.
In the interest Of better relations
between the races, it would, there
fore, behoove the negroes to use their
every influence to stop attacks on
white women. If this one crime
were never perpetrated it is very un-
likely that lynchings in any form
would occur, except in perhaps very
remote instances. Lynching for other
crimes is an outgrowth of attacks on
white women by negroes.
In instances of attacks on white
women if the negroes will cooperate
with the officers of the law in run
ming. down and lawfully Furnishing
the offenders, it will prove their sim
cerity in opposing lynching by seek
ing to stamp out the cause, which is
the only remedy for lynching for this
crime.

GREENVILLE'S PAYROLL.

One of the leading textile papers
is authority for the following state
ment: THE payroll of the textile
mills and allied industries in Green
Vile, S. c., is half a million dollars
month-six millions of dollars a
year, Greenville is, without a
doubt, one of the coming cities of the
South. 1t has that quality of "get
up" about it that makes for a great
community. The spirit of co-opera-
tion and community interest in
Greenville is one of the factors that
is making of it a real city, and the
fact that she has within her limits
so many manufacturing industries is
an attest to the fact that the outside
world appreciates this quality in
city or town. Other cities in the State
and South would do we'll to emulate
Greenville's example.

HOME GUARD COMPANY.

A movement is on foot to organ
ize in Bamberg a home guard COM
pany. This movement should meet
with the instant sympathy of all the
people. The presence in Bamberg
county of a strong live company will
be exemplary. 1t should not prove
difficult to get up a good campany.
The previous difficulty has been in
securing competent officers, but this
obstacle is longer present, for among
the returned soldier boys there will
be found many who can be depended
on to officer the home guard. Doubt
lett, too, many of the soldier boys
will gladly join a home guard COM
pany, which is not subject to. call
away from home, as is the case of
the national guard.
Bamberg should, by all means,
have company of home guards, and
it is to be sincerely hoped that the
efforts to effect such an organization
will meet with the approval and CO.
operation of the people of the county.

THE TELEGRAPH TOLLS.

1t is refreshing, in this time of
high prices, to note that the Postal
Telegraph company, Immediately up
on the return of the wires to the own
ers, reduced the cost of telegraph
messages 20 per cent, putting the
tolls on a pre-war basis. The Postal
has fought the increase in rates
steadfastly, refusing while the lines
were under it's control to advance
the rates, and stoutly opposing the
increase after the wires we're taken
over by the government. The fric-
ton between the Postal and the post
master general became so acute that
the president of the Postal, Mr.. Mac
kay, was removed from connection
with his company by the postmaster
general. Mr.. Mackay openly charg-
ed that Mr.. Burleson took over, the
telegraph lines in order to increase
the rates for the benefit of the Wes-
tern Union. Whether or not this be
true, we cannot say, but it is a fact
that the Postal consistently fought
all increases and went back to the old
rates as soon as it was allowed to
do so. The Postal now states that
the old rates are entirely sufficient
to give the company a fair margin
of profit. The Western Union has
not reduced it's rates, maintaining
the same schedule as promulgated
by the postmaster general. Although
the postmaster general increased the
telegraph tolls in order, as it was
announced, to meet the necessary in
crease in salaries, the Postal has not
announced any reduction in the pay
of it's employees.

CLAY THE STREETS.

If anything is to be done about the
cooperative plan of claying the
streets, it will have to be done pretty
soon. Under the plan suggested by
The Herald, it would cost the city
very little to make some good roads
throughout the city. This was done
a few years ago with fine results. We
believe that the people of the town
and surrounding territory would glad
ly lend the use of their teams and a
few hands for several days.

A SMALL BEGINNING.

Most big things have small begin
nings. About twenty years ago Asa
G. Gambler started the manufacture
of soft drink. A few days ago,
according to report, he sold out his
holdings, and he is now worth twen-
ty-five million dollars. Gambler start
ed with capital of $500, which he
paid for the formula Of the famous
drink he made. Not every person
may reasonably expect to make twen-
ty-five millions from $500 start, but
il shows what faith in thing and
sticking to it will accomplish.
