REPORT DISAPPOINTING.
Census Figures Give Bamberg 2,21O
Population, 273 Gain.

The census report on the popula-
ton of Bamberg county, made known
last week through special report to
The Herald, has proven quite a dis
appointment to citizens who have
expressed an opinion about it. The
report credits the city Of Bamberg
with 2,21O inhabitants, net gain OF
279 over the population of 1910, or
14.1 per cent. gain in ten years.
Most Bamberg people expected TO
see a gain of at least 80 to 40 per
cent, which would have given the
town from $500 to $500. Some be-
lieved that the population would
reach 5000 or $500.
The population of Bamberg county
is placed at 1850, a gain Ct nearly
1,100 over the 1910 figures.
Ehrhardt registered the greatest
increase of any town in the county.
The 1910 population of 315 increased
to 495 in 1920, or SIS per cent.
Ehrhardt and Olar are racing for
the third place in the county, olar
winning by five persons.
Denmark made a gain of 179 or
1876 per cent. with a population of
1884.
Below is given the complete cen.
sus report on Bamberg county, by
townships and towns:

Dollar Democracy Campaign.

'sThis campaign that we, as women,
are putting on is primarily to solicit
contributions from the Democratic
women of our state, but we do not
hesitate to approach and appeal to
men who seem derelict in their duty
of contributing to this national need.
''That many women were opposed
to the franchise should not deter
them now in doing all within their
power for the cause Of Democracy.
The time for discussing equal suf-
frage is past; we must realize that
it is fact. We must forget past
differences and look to the future in
the light OF our new responsibilities. u

blast along the roadside, pouring
out in big casks set at the drains
from the big presses the fine cider
for which this section is known. The
car was halted while the party
watched the operations for a minute
and enjoyed some of the rich juice.
Having enjoyed the hospitality Of
the cider man. the trip was resumed,
and on every hand farmers were
seen preparing for the long winter
months. On the roadside were farm
ers with wagons with long ladders
gathering the luscious fox grapes for
the farm wife to prepare iellicS. In
