IL. l.. Lawrence Makes Record Unique
I'm History of University.

Greenville, June 11.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: Among the graduates
at Furman University last week was
young man from Oconee county
who has made remarkable record,
and 1t has occurred to me that your
readers would be interested In this
brief statement Of the facts.
X. l.. Lawrence came to Furman in
his 18th year and accordingly gradu-
ated at the unusual age Of 19. From
the very beginning he showed re-
markable ability. From year to year
he made steady progress and at the
final roundup won the Feaster-Tim-
mons medal for highest scholarship
Besides his record in his classes, he
has held several positions of honor
In the work of the literary societies,
proving himself on public occasions a
competent debater.
His library record is unique. In
the number Of books borrowed, In
the number Of hours spent in the ref
erence library, and in the prompt re-
turn Of every book borrowed before
or on the day 1t was due, he has set a
new standard.
Mr.. Lawrence expects to pursue his
studies In medical college, and
predict for him high success.
E. G. Brown, Of Oakway, Is ano-
ther representative from Oconee in
Furman. He expects to graduate next
June. Very truly yours,

calculated that tho money paid for q
fifty dollar bond, tho smallest demon.
ination that can be secured, will
equip one soldier for tho front; or 1t
Will buy hiIteen shelter tents, accom-.
modatn ng thirty.two mon; or buy eisht
pair OF army blankets; or provide a
thousand rounds Of ammunition; or
furnish three standard rines. The
sum of $500 will keep . soldier at tho
front for year.
1t is believed that when q man real.
ICES that his money is put to very
definite use IN fighting tho battles OF
tho country he will be much more
willing to put up the ready cash.
And further than that, every man
should realize that he is not making
donation Of fifty or q hundred dol.
lars whom he buys bond. For he
gets In return a government certi.
foate that Is much better than tho
five dollar bill that he has in his
pocket. He can keep the FIVE dollars
for ten years and be none tho richer;
but II he keeps Liberty Bond for ton
years, 1t is working all tho time, and
bringing In more money for him.
And at any time that 4 man wants
to secure ready money for the bond,
all he has to do is to take 1t to any
bond broker, who will buy It outright,
or to bank and secure a loan equal
to the face value Of the bond without q
moments delay. BY special ruling Of
the treasury department recently. any
bank can negotiate a paper that has
Lizerty Loans for collateral, through
the Reserve Bank, whether the bank
is member Of tho reserve system or
not.
Millions OF government money are
being brought into the state Of South

and the cities are also getting the ben
eft Of 1t. 1t will be gross ingratitude
II the citizens Of the state are not
willing to subscribe their part towards
the loan which makes these e1pendi.
lures possible.
1t will be impossible to buy a bond
from the government out OF the first
Of the present bond issue after Friday.
All who wish to invest must do so i'm.

get the application through without
