Columbia. 8. c., Especial )-"Do
ysur bit. Buy . bond for liberty and
TIE ultimate peace Of the world" Is
tAs message which II being sent broad.
east over the, state by the Liberty
Loan Committee tor South Carolina, OF
which Edwin W. Robertson, is chair
0An.
Already there has been q wide re-
Gponse from many directions. Thou
sands Of people have made applica-
ton through state and national banks
for bonds In denominations ranging
from $50 to $1,000. But since the al.
Iotment for South Carolina Is $780,.
600, there are . great many more to
be disposed of before the state will
have done its duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale of the bonds have been appoint
cd in each county OF the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward helping the govern
ment float this loan; knowing well
that the fate Of the country, and per-
haps of the war, is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also pu:
their shoulders to the wheel. Practi-
cally every bank is in a position to
accept applications for bonds, and
every man who wishes to subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
Is making to the farmers. merchants
and business men is not only patri-
otic; though the committee feels that
every man should want to support his
government to the extent Of buying q
bond. It Is also . business PROPOSE
kion; and a Liberty bond is right now
one of the best and surest investments
that a man can make.
The government has got to buy corn
and cotton IN quantities. never before
heard Of. These supplies have got to
como from the FIELDS and farms OF
South Carolina along with the rest Of
the country. Therefore, the money
that q farmer puts in the loan. comes
back to him as actual cash in immense
purchases Of the things which he
raises. In this way he not only gets
as IL per cent return on his bonds,
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products Of his farm.
Just as the banks make their money
BY financing the farmer. Just 50 the
farmer is now in a position to make
money by financing the government.
No matter how this situation Is
faced. whether from sentiment or from
hard common sense, the move Is .
good one.

men In South Carolina when asked

What does u matter whether this

OF course 1t IL; but the thing that
any man or woman wants to think
about In connection with the loan Is:
For what use is the money to bs ap

siation Of what the war means, 1t will
not take him long to decide.
Just one little glimpse Of the las,
three years is sufficient. The viola
ton Of Belgium, the sinking Of the
Lusitania, the abuse and slaughter OF
millions of women and children in
Belgium, France and Poland, and the
other savageries Of the Germans
should make a man 90 out Of his way
to subscribe for as many bonds as he
could possibly stand.
IF it were matter of war on our
own soil, with our own women and
children the subject OF these cruelties
we would not hesitate moment. And
from all l hear from Washington, II
will very probably be our women and
children unless the people OF America
rally to this loan with every available
dollar"
The 5th day of June has been set
apart by the Liberty Loan Committee
for South Carolina on which TO re
ceive subscriptions all over the state
On that day. it has been decreed by
the government that all men between
the ages of 81 and 80, inclusive, shall
register; and 1t Is desired that on the
same day, all other people, and all OF
those that register as we'll, shall as
faithfully go to the banks and fill out
an application blank for every cent OF
bonds that they can possibly stand.
South Carolina has never been
backward in the cause Of Liberty as
far back as my history goes" said

mittee yesterday; and I don't be-
lieve for a moment that the people Of
the commonwealth will allow her to
take q back seat now. We have been
told by the Federal Reserve officials
that we are expected to subscribe to
eight and half millions Of the bonds.
This Is certainly no impossible task:
or at least will not be II the small
farmers of the country districts will
join with the clerks, stenographers,
and every class Of wage earners In the
towns in taking fifty or q hundred dol
lars on the fifth. But 1t has got to

An Enemy To Nut Grass.

Mr. Albert A Hansen, an agent OF
the Department Of Agriculture, was
in Charleston yesterday making an
investigation of nutgrassin this coun-
land endeavoring to find some me-
thod of destroying it. He was in con-
ference with Mr. C F Niven, local ag-
ricultural agent, during the day, and
they made a trip into the country to
make further Investigations.
Mr. Hansen is hopeful that GER
tain kind of insect found in this coun-
ty will be the answer to the nut grass
problem. Specimens of the insect
were shipped to the Bureau of ETY.
mology at Washington for further
examination. According to some
persons, this insect, the name of which
isnot known, eats the grass and killsit.
MIR Hansen has under way twenty
different experiments in North and
South Carolina, in the hope of learn.
ing from them some effective means
to combat the nut grass. This grass
is very common in this Part of the
country. 1t causes the farmers much
loss of time, and is difficult to clear
ont of a field.-Neavs and Courier.
