ed in many years Is now being dis.

tsonds. People from every walk Of
life, capitalists, bankers, merchants
and farmers are subscribing to the is.
sue which is to finance the war for
liberty which tho United States is
now waging.
All banks have opened their doors
to applications for the bonds; 80 that
any person who desires the bonds has
only to go to any bank in his town
where his application will be immedi-
ately entered. The American people,
and especially the farmers and NOR
chants of the South, have not been a
bond investing people to any extent;
nut under the drive Of patpiotic enthu.
rtasm, they have rallied to the Liberty
Loan idea by tho hundreds Of thous.
ands; and small wage earners every
where have responded with every
manifestation OF eagerness.
This has extended to the utmost
farm districts of the state. Local
committees have been organized in
every community; men in automo-
b'les have volunteered to see every
farmer OF any means in the entire
farming districts and these have been
foslowed up by salesmen of various
Binds who have gone SO far as to pro-
duoe the application blank and secure
tho farmers signature.
The Buy Bond for Baby" slogan
has become popular In thousands of
MONIES. Governor Manning himself
showed the way by subscribing for
twenty bonds, one each for himself,
his wife, a daughter, seven sons and
ten grandchildren. Following his lead,
parents in every direction have in

Practically all the big corporations
OF the state have arranged plans
whereby their employees could secure
the bonds by having small sums de.

eowns have established booths in their
stores at which applications blanks

statesmen for ono or two days to the
cause OF the bonds. These mon have
made personal canvass of the state.
In practically every town, going from
store to store and house to house in
an effort to secure subscriptions. This
movement was originated by Carroll
ID. Jones, OF Columbia, president of
the State Underwriters' Association: !:
and was put in operation under the
supervision Of a committee OF wihch

Due to the efforts of these men, the
allotment Of bonds for the state is
constantly dwindling; and their of.
forts will be continued until the cIose
or the campaign on June Is.
The campaign has also had and is
still having the utmost cooperation OF
the women's clubs Of the state. The
numerous organizations have contrfbu-

stint; and women and girls have been
conspicuous in all the movements in
behalf Of the bonds Especially on
Juno was this true, at the time
when all those around the registra.
ton places were given bond litora-
ture by prettily dressed girls.
Although June 9Th was officially des-
ignated as Liberty Bond Day, on
which there should be definite efforts
to secure subscription from every
man In the state, the campaign is by
no means over. 1t will not end until
June 16, the day upon which sub
scriptions cease There will there
fore, be no diminr IN OF effort on the
part of the numerous committees who
have the promotirn Of the sales in
charge. 1t is earnestly desired by the
government and b. the Liberty Loan
Central Committee for South Caro-
lima that the allotment Of $500, 900
which has been assigned to this state
be several times oversubscribed. The
effect OF having this bond issue over
subscribed will have the same moral
effect upon the enemy as q great de-
feat; and this Is what Is trying to bo

Liberty Bonds arc Hhe strongest
security that any man may own. They
have the backing Of tho greatest gov

secure, and the money thus derived is
to be used in fighting tho battles Of tho
government.
The plain duty of everyone Of our
citizens lies straight ahead: Buy
