SPEND FREELY-BUY WISELY.
There's a firing line for dollars, too,
nowadays. Send yours to the front.
America must make money to make
war. Wealth increases only through
use. Active cash spurs confidence,
creates optimism, stimulates trade,
provides employment, furnishes capt.
tai and quickens output.
On the other hand, the boarding OF
funds cripples business, reduces pro-
duction, forces the retailer to dimin-
ish his purchases and lay off help.
The government can meet it's bud
gets only through the enthusiastic
energy of commerce and labor. And
tied purse strings will tie their hands.
At this crisis every citizen must
substantiate the business institutions
upon whose shoulders falls the re-
sponsibility of maintaining the ma
TONS domestic trade at full pitch,
thereby guaranteeing their living ex-
penses to millions of non-combatants.
Congress has pledged seven billion
dollars to the great cause and every
copper of it will be spent within our
own borders.
The subscriptions that are now pill
Ing up at Washington will instantly
be rushed to the markets, the toun-
dries and the farms, and the only way
to rush them back again to the
treasury is by consistent, steady buy
ing, which guarantees sufficient taxes
for the equipment, compensation and
feeding of an indefinite military and
naval force, the ARE of soldiers ant
sailors dependents.

single factor in sight.
But, while it is the duty of the gen.
eral community to p~atronize stores
and shops as in normal periods $50
that they in turn may contract as u.s.

it is equally obligatory upon the re-

We know a man who can sit under

for a cork to bob without ever
whimpering because he can't catch a

DO YOU KNOW THAT

DO YOU KNOW THAT
Peace hath her health problems
no less than war?
Constant vigilance is the price
of freedom from flies?
The physical vigor of it's citi-

Idleness is the thief Of health?
Infected towels spread eye dis

Half the blindness in the world
could have been prevented by
prompt and proper care?

WOOD STOPS AT AUGUSTA

Augusta, Ga. May 18-Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood reached Augusta to-
night at 1870 o'clock and left at 1:55
a. m. for Atlanta. He is on trip of
inspection over the Department Of
the Southeast.
While here he conferred at the rail-
road station with the army board who
are here to determine the site of the
cantaonment which has been ordered
located at Augusta.
Gen. Wood said that the Associated
Press statement on Augusta, Colum-
bia and Atlanta having been selected
for divisional encampments was Off
cial. The ridge from Columbia via
Augusta to Atlanta possesses all the
attributes desired for these camps,
and the cities named were selected
that the transportation facilities af-
forded by them could be taken advan-
tage of.
The matter OF preparing the camps
for the troops, after the sites for
them had been chosen, will be hand
led from Washington and not from
Charleston.

ton on May % to protest against the
proposal of the railroads to increase
the freight rates on peaches IS per
cent because of the war"
B. J. Christman, general manager

turned to this city from Washington,

well known commerce lawyer OF
that city, to represent the exchange

This is the last chance of calling
your attention to it so this little ad
will be as brief as the price of admis-
sion-or is it admittance-which has
been set at the ridiculously small sum
of IS cents for adults and 20 cents
for children. Why, it is worth twice
that sum at least to get chance to
look at all the President and Presi-
dentrixes-or is it Presidentresses7-7

$50, after a feature film, so grab your

faces, crank up the Flivver, and come
where the crowd is.

Board, Superintendent, J. E. Rick
etson and the writer made a tour of
inspection at the closing of the color
ed schools and there found Superin-

mended the faculty. on the good work
that had been accomplished during
the past year. We found splendid
display Of the handiwork of the pupils

the items of special mention were
seats for one of the rooms made by
the boys, and fine selection OF hand
made baskets, chair bottoms, etc,
After the Board had made an in

served ice cream and assorted cakes
the cakes were the product of the do
mestic science department and were
a part of the general exhibit.
Grandma Harvey (Alice) and baby
Mcmillan were special guests and as
an interesting piece of history, we
were told that Alice Harvey. grand
mother of Superintendent Mcmillan,
was born and living on the plantation
at Appotomattox when General Lee
surrendered, and she told us that she
remembered clearly the morning of
this event. L. O. TISDEL.

WILL SOON PLACE THE
CONTRACTS FOR SHIPS

Washington, D. c., May l8.-With-
III the next few days the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, organized by the
United States shipping board, will
have completed the plans and speci-
hcations for the construction OF the
large fleet of wooden ships of 5000 or
$500 tons register which are the
emergent need of this country and its
allies in the prosecution of the war.
Ship yards and other corporations
throughout the country which are in
position TO take contracts for the con-
struetion of these ships are urged to
make their facilities known to Mai.
Gen, George w. Goethals.
A man who means business and
can show that he is prepared to de-
liver the goods will have little trouble
in getting an order that viii give full
employment to his equipment. A bro
ker who is trying to land some bust
ness as SPECTATOR will waste time
talking to the general. He wants to
be shown
There has been a great deal of mis-
understanding as to the purposes of
the shipping board, but Gen. Goe-
thals has proceeded to get complete
plans and specifications first, and
when that is done he will be prepared
to entertain bids and award contracts
without delay. Gen. Goethals is be-
lieved to favor steel ships, but it has
also been decided to build wooden
ships. The need of the allies is for
ships and more ships. In carrying
out this program vast amount of
pine lumber will also be needed.
Representative Overstreet was in
conference with the shipping board
yesterday with the view of landing
contracts for Savannah corporations.
