Mr.. +. w. Robertson, of Columbia.
chairman Of the committee appointed
by the Federal Reserve Bank to push
the sale of the bonds in South Caro-
lima, said yesterday:
'If there is one special message
that the Liberty Bond Committee
would impress upon the people of
South Carolina it is that while money
ls not more important than men, it is
absolutely necessary that the citizens
of our commonwealth support with
their treasure the men who must be
sent abroad to face the enemy on the
firing line"
j. Pope Matthews, also of the COM
mittee, said: "The government, as a
giant corporation, has undertaken a
gigantic project, and the men and
women of America are called upon to
become stockholders in the corpora
ton. 1t is purely matter of invest
ment, and dividends are payable, not
only in money, but also in life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
Z. ii. Barron, third member of
the committc, said Liberty Bond
Day has got to be one Of the big days
in South Carolina. There must be no
defeats on the battle front because
Americans have failed to do their
duty by buying bonds. Every man
IN the State is going to rally to the
flag on June the 5th and do his
duty"

Negro Prisoner Attacks Jailer And
Escapes; Recaptured 3 Days Later

On last Friday night at about 10 80
all Chesterfield was thrown into a
fever of excitement when it became
known that a negro prisoner, Eugene
Benbo, had assaulted the jailer, Mr..
]. #. Grant, and made his escape.
The negro had been arrested some
weeks ago in Cheraw, charged with
breaking into the railroad station and
confscating about Is gallons Of
whisky.
Mr.. Grant says that his prisoners
conduct had been all that could be
expected and he had no reason to be-
lieve trouble was pending when he
entered the prisoners quarters to
lock the sells on Friday night. But
as he swung the heavy door open he
received terrific blow on the head
with chair. Though he was felled
by the blow, he instantly recovered,
secured his revolver and yelling for
assistance, fired twice at the fleeing
culprit. In the darkness the negro's
steps could be distinctly heard as he
crossed DR.. Trotti's oat field.
Dogs were brought and within two
hours were attempting to follow the
fugitive's tracks. The hunt was join
ed in by a great number of citizens
and interest remained unabatcd un-
til his capture Monday afternoon in
Cheraw by Mr.. Boan, mail carrier,
and Chief Pegues, aided by a negro.
Investigation at the Jail developed
that the negro had been supplied with
tools through the grating in window
and he had all but dug his way to

MILLIONS FOR LIBERTY;
ALL CAN HELP BEAR BURDEN

1.-TWO and half millions for the
cause of Liberty" is the slogan that
has been sent out to South Carolin-
ians everywhere by the Liberty Bond
Committee of South Carolina, in an
effort to place the States quota of
war bonds upon the market without
delay.
June 5th, registration day, is the
date chosen for the big drive. 1t is
to be Liberty Loan Day, on which
every man and woman in the State
with single dollar to invest will be
called upon to rally to the support
of the government and finance the
war.
Only small proportion of the men
will have to register, and of these a
much smaller number will have to go
to the battle front; but practically
every citizen of the State can do his
bit by buying fifty-dollar bond.
Owing to the stupendous size Of
the loan, $4,000, 100000, it will re-
quire subscriptions from rich and
poor alike. Already the rich men Of
the country are subscribing by the
millions; but will take much more
than this. Every farmer, large and
small, every merchant, clerk, banker
and stenographer who has dollar
above actual living expenses is ex-
pected to buy at least fifty-dollar
bond.
-T'Sc people of the farm and coun-
try districts must unite with the
people of the cities in subscribing, or

think where this money is to come
| from?
This money could be raised through
taxation. The government could de-
mand and take one-fourth of your
income, for instance, and without in
terest. But this method has not been
resorted to.
To equip, feed and clothe these
boys, your boys and your neighbors'
boys, the government is offering to
sell bonds to you, you who do not
have to go TO the front, and pay you
at the rate Of 31a per cent. interest
on them. AS an investment these
bonds make strong appeal because
they are absolutely safe, as safe as
your Uncle Sam. And they are un-
taxable.
But this is not an appeal for you
to make profitable investment. 1t
is an appeal to your patriotism, to
do your bit.
If freedom is not to perish from
this earth, every man, woman and
child in the United States must con-
tribute his share in the nations de-
fcnse.
Here is your opportunity: Buy a
bond!
Senator G. X. Laney, in talking of
this matter to the editor said:
81 want to know that those brave
boys will be abundantly supplied with
everything they need to make them
comfortable and to help them fight.
want to be sure that not one of
them shall be in need of cartridge
