HUMILIATING But TRUE.

Within less than week there must
be another billion dollars subscribed
or the Liberty Bond loan will not be
entirely 1oated
1t is inconceivable that this should
be the case.
The United States, the richest of
all nations, is just beginning to call
upon its people to put their money
into circulation, and this three billion
dollar loan, as stupendous as it really
is, should be easily and promptly
handled. The other nations at war
have issued greater bond issues and
realized upon them more quickly, be-
cause the people responded more
readily.
1t is humiliating to confess it but
it is the truth nevertheless that the
very class of American citizens most
able at this time to invest money in
the Liberty Bonds is the class slowest
about doing so. The farmers of this
country alone could absorb a third
of the loan out of their present profits,
but they have taken comparatively q
small share. In the south, and in
Georgia, they have disappointed the
committees appointed to solicit them.
Here in Sumter county their response
Gas Teen faint and unappreciative, a,
much as the Times Recorder dislikes
to say so.
If it comes to past that government
bond issues are impossible of nego-
tiation, it will, undoubtedly become
necessary for a heavier direct tax to
be imposed and the very men who are
now holding back their funds, and
investing them in other ways, not as
safe nor as lucrative and certainly
not as patriotic, will be the first TO
feel the pressure and the first and
loudest to holler If tax of ten dol
lars q bale were placed on cotton, the
farmer would make howl that would
he heard all the way to Washington
and back again.
Sumter county has not done its part
by this second Liberty Bond loan,
less than one hundred thousand dol
lars having been subscribed so far.
whereas the allotment for this county
is twice that amount. There reamin
five days for Americas and Sumter
county to deny the charge of having

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD.

In ancient times Thomas Alva Edi-

would have been credited with pos
sessing supernatural powers, and
would have been regarded by the cred
ulous multitude as man of miracles.
Today we give him unstinted credit
for being the worlds greatest invent
or, the originator of more wonderful
devices than any man who has ever
lived.
And, if his life is spared, Edison
will probably be able to bequeath to
posterity even many more inventions
For he is worker, verify shaving

Edison perfected the telegraph. He
invented many devices that facilitate

is substantially his creation. He de-

KEEP THE FLAG FLYING.

There seems to be disposition
among all classes of people to allow
themselves to grow lax in keeping
the stars and stripes displayed wher-
ever and whenever it is possible and
proper to display them. There APP
business men in keeping the flag
floating above their places of bust
ness or displayed in their stores and
offices. Householders, too seem to
be growing careless as to their dis
play of the national colors. The
hrst enthusiasm OF patriotism
ful display and there was al an no excel
lent effort made to keep the flag fly
ing everywhere, but some of that en-
thusiaSm was worn off and now the
stars and stripes floating from a
building is more Of a rarity than the
rule.
This should not be. Not for an in
slant should there be any laxity in
thrown to the breeze from every bus
mess building, hung out on every
home and displayed in every office.
Every loyal American citizen should
wear the flag or the colors on his
breast and every loyal American
woman should do the same. 1t is a
mark of distinction and of patriotic
1t will serve to show that you are
loyal to your country and distinguish
you any where from those who Sc
cretly hate the flag and would do
everything in their power, were they
not towards, to assist in it's destruc-
country wfose Union bhesrRR e aland
Independence it symbolizes.
Keep the flag flying from your
homes. Keep the flag flying from
your business buildings. Keep it fly
ing, above your schools and churches.
Keep it in your offices, proudly dis
played where all who come may see
country and are proud of YOUR flag.
1t floats today as proudly and as I'M
sullied as on the day it was first
thrown to the breeze on the birth of
the republic. 1t has never protected
a tyrant or waved above national
iniquity. 1t represents all that which

Keep the flag flying by being
ready to defend your country, in any
way that is effective, against the
sneers, the arguments and the insin-
uations that she is not right in this
war. Keep the nag lying by your
contributions to the Red Cross, by
keeping UP your payments on your
liberty bonds, by a keen interest in
all that which is good for America S

DO YOU KNOW HIMo

The man who has refused to con-
tribute to any of the auxiliary war
funds and has maintained absolute
silence, needn't flatter himself with
the idea that he is neutral. His ac-
lions speak louder than words and
that mans neighbOrS know how to
classify him. The man who failed to
do his part at home isn't loyal to his
government and he isn't loyal to the
boys who have gone to the front. If
you are so lacking in patriotism if
you think you owe nothing to the
country of your birth or your adop-
ton, don't make a fool of yourself
by claiming neutrality. If you would
rather hang onto the dollars that
you have accumulated under the
laws of this country, than to give a
little of your surplus to the cause. Of
free government, you can probably
get away with it, but don't try to
fool yourself with this hypocritical
mask of neutrality If you want
Germany to win the war and if you
want German policies to rule the
yorld, refuse to help in the Red
Cross, the Liberty Loan, the Army Y.
M. c. A. Refuse to do your share
and you won't need to worry about
where you will be classified. Your
friends and your neighbors will ana
lyze your motives and give you the
proper. tag-and it won't be neutral
