DONNED THE DENIM.
Bamberg Citizens Join in Protest
Against High Prices.

Last Thursday and Friday were
overall days in Bamberg. On these
days a large number Of men in all
walks signed a pledge to don over
als and wear them as protest
against the high cost of clothing. To
J. J. Heard belongs the credit or
cussing, as the case may be, for the
idea. Mr. Heard started out with
a pledge sheet Thursday moring, and
before noon had nearly one hundred
signatures to it, the pledge being ca
gerly sought after by numbers of
men who have felt the pain of paying
two or three prices for something in
the shape of covering for the body.
AS is generally the case in such
movements, the idea has been some
what marred by the fact that great
many have gone into the wearing Of
overalls simply as a joke, although
few people seem to see any joke at
tached to it, and these, firing of the
novelty after day or two have
straightway cast them aside, thus CIV
ing the movement the appearance of
a piece of frivolity. 1t may be stated
that very few of those who signed
the pledge have cast aside their ov-
erals, and there are quite num-
Der who signed up and mean busi-
ness.
The overall movement is taking
like wildfire all over the country.
Thousands are joining the clubs and
expect to wear overalls until they can
buy a suit of clothes at a reasonable
price. This cannot, of course, be done
now
There is no disposition on the part
of those who have interested them
selves in the movement to attach the
blame for the high prices of clothing
to the local retailers; and indeed,
some of the most enthusiastic mem
bers of the local club are clothiers
themselves.
There appears to be quite an ex-
aggerated idea prevalent regarding
the wearing of overalls. Some thought
the government had put new rule
into effect requiring folks to wear
them, and hastened forthwith to buy
before the rush. Naturally those who
bought under such a delusion hasten
ed to get>out of their denims. This
gave the idea that the movement had
fallen through almost before it start
ed.
There is no law requiring any one
to wear oyerallsNcoat or pants-in
fact there is no law requiring any one
to wear these garments at all, pro-
vided, of course, they cover them
selves with something, ba@ we sug-
gest that those who really want to
wear overalls should have the thanks
of the people generally for at least
making an effort to remedy bad sit
uation. 1t is at least to their cred
it that they made an effort, which is
considerably more than those who
laugh at the overalls are doing.

L. ID. G. NOTES.
Interesting Meeting of the Chapter
Held Tuesday Afternoon.

The F. NJ. Bamberg chapter OF tne
U. D. C. met last Tuesday afternoon
with Mrs. H. N. Folk. Only few
members were present, but much
business was disposed of. The cap
tains of teams, appointed in the re-
cent campaign for funds, reported
$50 collected. This is great help,
but the chapter still needs money.
There are so many calls now and the
French orphans are still unprovided
for, that is, some of them.
It was decided to ask the Confed-
crate veterans to have dinner with
the chapter on the 10th of May, and
to include the wives of the veterans,
also to ask the boys of the world war.
We hope every one will be here. A
speaker will be invited, music fur
nished and a good time had gener-
ally.
A very nice note was read from
Mrs. H. j. Brabham, Sr., who is a
charter member of this chapter, and
whom we all love.
The literary programme was short
owing to the absence of so many.
Mrs. Folk sang a lovely solo which
we thoroughly enjoyed. Those alb
sent missed 2 treat in not hearing
current events by Mrs. Moye Dickin-
son. The following ladies were elect
ed delegates to the meeting. in Ak

a tax under the internal revenue
laws, but grape and other fruit
Juices, not including cider, if fer

contain one half Of per cent or
more of alcohol by volume, are
subject to tax as wine. A state

tons that have arisen as to the
application of law relating to the

Settling National Controversies.

Our postwar world is rent
with multifarious discords.
Empire growls at empire over
the spoils of Armageddon.
Newborn nations, bitten with
imperialistic lusts, plot the
mutilation of equally lustful
neighbors. Above all, Asia
prepares to challenge the he
gemony of anarchic Europe,
thus threatening a contest
that may develop into a racial
cataclysm beside which the
late unpleasantness would
seem like child's play.
The future looks dark. Yet
there is a brighter side.
Everywhere thinking men are
alive to the perils of the hour.
Statesmen strive to force the
machinery of new world
order assuring peaceful, evo-
lutionary progress, while seers
and prophets labor to effect
that changed attitude of mind
and heart which must form the
indispensable moral basis to a
new world-order and without
which the most perfect
mechanism would prove a
vain thing.

According to the superintendent OF
the Broad Street and Volunteer hospi-
tails OF New York, the work OF the Red
Cross after the recent Wall street ex-
plosion proved almost Invaluable. The
Explosion happened at noon on Sep
TENDER Is. Red Cross ambulance
units with those, of downtown hospi-
tails and the police department, were
on the scene in time for first aid
work. But the principal activity of
the Red Cross was to assist the hospi-
tails to which the injured were taken.
Before the afternoon had passed 90
nurses had gone to aid the regular
forces at the Broad street and Volmn-
teer hospitals. Eighteen Red Cross
Sield directors assisted ikl hospitals
and in compiling and furnishing in

a better morrow. Not merely
ytheoretic preachment, but by
sustained practice, by consis-
tent conduct extending over
decades, the Scandinavian
nations give the world a con-
crete example of a group Of
nations settling fundamental
disputes without war, in a
spirit of reasonable fairness,
and with increasing friendship
and cooperation.
This remarkable achieve
ment becomes all the more
striking when we recall the
grave difficulties which had to
be overcome. Scandinavia S
internal history was not one
of peace and amity; it was a
record of war and discord
yielding an evil legacy OF
bitter memories. Since time
immemorial the Scandinavian
es-Swedes, Danes,
Norwegians-have fought
one another, fired by a jealous
separation that nulli6ed bonds
of racial kinship and condem-
ned them to an interminable

LUCKY IN FIRST TILT

In the late summer of 1891 bright
eyed rosv- checked youngster alighted
from "Sullivan" at the Baltimore and
Ohio station in Baltimore and asked to
be shown where the Baltimore Orioles
played ball.
Most of the older players took the kid
as quite joke when he reported to
Manager Barnie. He then was only
eighteen years old. about feet inches
tall and weighed 125 pounds. But
Barnie's team was in q sad rut, and
even a kid could do no worse than the
men he had clubbing around his in
field.
Young Firebrand
The youngster was a firebrand. and
he could give as good as he got, as the
older Orioles who tried to play horse
with him soon discovered. The boy
could let loose quite brand Of conver-
sation when the occasion demanded.

Brought Luck
McGraw got his big league start in a
game with the Columbus team played
on August 26, 1891, and he evidently
brought the Orioles luck. Baltimore
had won only one game out of its last
seven up to the time McGraw was in
serted in the Oriole lineup, and the
Baltimores won the game by a score OF
6 to ).

big league ball at third base, he broke
