RARE CERTIFICATE
PRESENTED u. D. e..
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS YOU
Three Billion Dollar Liberty Loan
Planned This Time-SOuth Caro-
lima Asked to Take Fifteen
Million.

The government has issued a call
for a nationwide campaign for the
sale of three billion dollars in the sec
ond Liberty Loan Bond issue, and
South Cardinals proportion is fifteen
million dollars.
Mr.. M. A Moore, with Nicholson
Bank & Trust Co., has been appointed
chairman of the movement in Union
county, and will call upon a number of
progressive citizens to aid him in this
campaign. He wishes particularly to
call the attention of the farmers to
this proposition, and believes that a
large number of Union county farmers
can be persuaded to buy bonds. The
bonds pay 4@o; are worcestershire and
non-taxable, and are as safe as any
human investment can be made. Not
many farmers bought bonds in the
first loan, for it was not the season
of the year that they could do so.
The time limit for selling the sec
ond bonds is from October 1 to Oc-
tober 27, and subscriptions here would
have to be in hand by October 25, at
the latest.

Col. and Mrs. A. F. McKissick,

Cotton Planters Loan Associ-
alton Bill TO be Placed in
Carnegie Library-Found in
Personal Effects of Late Col.
|. q. McKissick.

Not many of the younger generation
OF Union know that at one time ther,,
was an organization here that issued
money, paper money "The Cotton
Planters Loan Association of the
Fifth Congressional District of South
Carolina was the name of the organ
lzatlon, and it was located at "Union-
vile, S. c." The Times man, wander
ing around over the face of the earth.
recently paid a visit to Greenwood.
one of the best little cities in the
State, and, while there called upon
Col. A. F. McKissick, a native" of
Union, now one of the big business
men of Greenwood. 1t was while there
that the aforesaid paper bill was
shown the writer by Col. McKissick.
1t was one of many other curios in his
collection, and upon reflection, Col.
Mckissick agreed to donate the rare
bill to the VIM. Wallace chapter, U.
ID. o., OF Union, and requested that
1T be neatly framed, at his expense
and placed in our Carnegie library
building, along with the other relics
that the U. ID. c. chapter has there on
exhibition and for safekeeping. The
framing is now being done and the
bill will be turned over to the ladies
of the chapter here.
Col. Mckissick thought that as the
relic was one of many found in the
safe of the late Col. l. G. McKissick
after his death here more than 20
years ago, that it really should be
kept in Union, although both Col. and
Mrs. McKissick priced it very highly:
indeed, it was no easy matter to per
suade the accomplished lady of the
house that Union should have this
treasure, but she finally graciously
relinquished her claim.
The "bill" is a certificate for five
dollars. 1t is signed by B. F. Rawis,,
Treasurer; VIM, J.. Keenan,, President.
and ismade payable to BID Gulps Ths.
date is Is May, 1862. 1t is number
TIT. And there must have been quite
number of them issued, therefore.
The bill is redeemable on the basis of
8 cents cotton. You may see this
five dollar bill' in the library, for it
is now being framed and will soon be
placed there for safekeeping.
Since writing the above we find that
Nicholson Bank & Trust Co. of Union
is IN possession of one of these "bills."

of Attacking Germans
Crushed by AIIy's Fire-Hun-
dreds of Thousands of Tons
of Explosives Dropped Upon
Several German Cities By
AMafors-Haig's Men Hold
Their Positions.

Since the middle of last week the
German armies in Flanders have been
trying to wrest from the British the
territory taken from them in the re-
cent big offensive of Field Marshal
Haig.
AS on previous days Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria on Wednesday
unleashed large numbers of his troops
in an attempt to recapture terrain on
the Ypres sector, where the British are
seriously threatening his communica-
tion line with Ostend and the sub
marine base at Zeebrugge. Ever
watchful the gunners of Haig again
wrought havoc among the attacking
waves and dispersed the Germans
with heavy casualties and retained all
their position sintact.
There still is no indication of the
time set by Field Marshal Haig for
the renewal of his efforts to press on
toward and cut the Lille railway, but
he is steadily keeping up his pounding
of the German trenches with his
masses Of artillery.
Although the German war office as
serts that in Tuesdays fight along
the eastern bank of the Meuse in the
Nerdun sector, the Germans captured
a comparatively long line of French
trenches, the French official communi-
cation makes no mention of this and
asserts merely that violent artillery
fighting and spirited patrol engage
ments took place.
While the British and French air
men continue their bombing opera
tions against Germany's submarine
base at Zeebrugge and points of mill
tary Importance behind the lines, the
French aviators are keeping up their
attack on German towns and cities in

Likewise the Italians are giving the
Austrians little respite from aerial
incursions, again having dropped four
tons of projectiles on military objec-
tives at Pola, the great Austrian naval
base on the Adriatic, and bombed 9TH
er points of military advantage. In
addition, the Italians have repulsed
decisively another Austrian attack on
the Western slopes of Monte San Ga
