10 the last day upon which Liberty
Loan bonds can be purchased; and be-.
tween now and that day, It Will be
necessary for the state of South Caro-.
lima to finish raising her allotment,
which now is ten millions of dollars.
In the great drive that was insti.
tutod on registration day, June S,
about twenty-five per cent OF this
amount was subscribed; but there
stall remains a remnant to be taken in
spite of the, very vigorous work which
mas been going on since that day In
every part OF the state.
People IN the cities, towns and coun.
try districts are realizing more and
more the great responsibility that
rests upon our people to take up all
the bonds that have been assigned us:
and In the closing days OF the cam
pa1gn, there has been series Of short
and powerful drives instituted that
will very probably result in the de-
sired total.
In every section, there have been
speakers provided for every kind Of
occasion. At the cotton mills and 9TH
or industrial plants, the operators are
being addressed at the noon hour;
speeches are being made in the pic
ture shows between films; and wher-
ever a crowd Is gathered, speaker
Is being provided to carry on the task
Of Liberty Bond education.
The women Of the state have taken
hold Of the idea with great enthusiasm.
They have been quicker to see the
possibilities for saving and for thrift
than the men in many instances; and
now tho slogan, "a bond in every
home" and It's running mate, Buy a
bond for baby" may be heard on every
side wherever women are gathered.
Mrs. Richard I. Manning, the first
lady OF the state, has been giving
much Of her time and efforts toward
the sale OF the bonds in the capital re-.
comfy. In connection with her work
IN the Woman's League for National
Denfense, she has directed her forces
to do all in their power to carry the
idea Of the bonds into the homes and
interest the women in the movement.
Her committee on registration day
manned the registration booths and
did missionary work on every hand
among those who registered and those
who looked on.
