A Fine Set OF Men.

TheiSouth Carolina contingent OF
some 400 men. more or less, now
under intensive training at Fort Ocle-
thorpe. has made fine impression
upon the officers in charge of the
great work going on there. One ofi-
Ger expressed the impression the othe,
day that this group of men seemed IN
point Of character. ability and dignity
OF bearing rather superior to that Of
any other State represented in the
great camp. This will be gratifying
to all South Carolinians. while it lays
upon the young men themselves a re-
sponsibility for maintaining the high
standard they have set. South Caro-
lina's part in this war must bear btt
her proud record OF past times and
add new pages to that record that
shall be stainless sources OF pride and
OF noble example to generations COM

THE LIBERTY LOAN.
The People Must Realize Their Re.
spOnsibility and Do Their Duty.

Columbia. May 25.-The Liberty
Loan Committee for South Carolina,
which is directing the campaign
throughout the State for the sale of
Liberty loan bonds. has today COM
pieted its statewide organization. =,
One hundred and eighty-five local
committees have been appointed in
every section Of the State in every
city and town large enough to sup
port a bank. These committees will
work in conjunction with the central
committee in pushing the sale of the
bonds In the county in which they are
located: and will have charge of all
local arrangements for handling the
subscriptions to the bonds
South Carolina's allotment of ss.-
100000. which has recently been an
nounced, has been apportioned in
turn In relative amounts to the d,--
ferent banking districts of the State,
and 1t Is hoped in this way that the
entire amount will be subscribed for
by proper handling in every section.
Two subscriptions of one hundred
thousand dollars have already been
subscribed through the Columbia
Clearing House by local banks; and
those will be followed with others of
similar amounts. But while q con-
siderable portion of the subscriptions
will come from the banks, there will
also be a general subscription by the
small wage Garner, or else the loan
will be failure. according to Edwin
w. Robertson, chairman of the GEN.
trail committee.
the small farmer and the small
wage Garner are going to make the
success Of the Liberty bonds or else
they will not be successful" is the
way he put it today.
The following is O list of chairmen
OF local committees appointed for
this vicinity: :
Sumter. I. c. Strauss: Mayesville,
r: A. Chandler; Timmonsville, John
McSween; Florence. julius c. Rogers;

Utterly Useless.

We have been trying to find the man
or set Of men who foisted upon the
town the useless expenditure Of a so
called free town delivery. So far we
have not succeeded. Towns ,hc size
of Bishopville. Hartsville. Timmons-
vile and many others have just about
as much use for a town delivery as a
cat has for two heads. Before the de-
livery went into effect drop letter
was mailed for one cent, now 1t re-
1uires cents. Circular letters that
used to go out from business men for
1 cent, now 2 cents. Heretofore the
county paper was exempt from post
age on all papers sent to subscribers
in the county. now everything that
goes through the Bishopville postof-
fee and rural routes is charged full
postal rates.
There are two carriers and by tho.
time they get their pouches made up
and leave the postoffice after the $50
a. M mail arrives, it Is eleven o'clock
before they can make their rounds.
The same thing occurs when the II
o'clock mail gets in, consequently
none OF the business men has his mail
delivered because he can send or so to
the postoffice and get his mail before
the carriers leave.
! We have not found business man
but who says it Is a useless expense.
