LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN.
To Begin With Mass Meeting on Sep
teniber 27-Committees Named.
To the Citizens of Sumter County:


To the Citizens of Sumter County
Under directions Of the federal
government we are instructed to ope1
/ the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
on Friday, September 9th, and to
continue same through Saturday, Qc-
tober 18th The amount to be raised
this time is heavily in excess OF our
last assessment and while the def
mite allotment has not yet been made
/ it is probable that the amount Will be
around 100000 Cor Sumter c0un-
" and the duration Of the campaign
has been limited to the above PERIOD
of time.
1t is therefore a matter OF the ut
i most importance that we lose no Tune
and in consequence it has been de-
cided to open the campaign here with
/ a large mass meeting at II O'Clock
on the morning of the 9th instant, at
the opera house, at which time 1T is
earnestly requested that every man,
woman and child, white and colored,
in Sumter county, be present and
subscribe to the maximum ability for
these bonds. 1t would save the 10y
al soliciting committees world OF
work if the total amount could be
raised on the first day of the cam
paign. The allotment must be sub
scribed; there is. no way over 1t, nor
under it, nor,around it, and we had
just as well do it cheerfuily and
promptly at once instead Of delaying
the matter
Subscriptions will be received un-
der identically the same conditions as
in the preceding campaign for the
Third Liberty loan, viz: the banks
will carry 80 per cent. Of the amount
of your subscription at the interest
rate of per cent. per annum until
April 1st, 1919, upon payment by the
subscriber of the remaining 10 per
cent cash.
1t is especially desired that the
farmers of Sumter county subscribe
literally to these bonds. This is ex-
pected by the federal government. II
You want to buy lands there is no bet
ter collateral for you to put up than
Liberty Loan bonds, so that you can

the bonds and use them as collateral
for the money with which to nego-
liate your real estate purchases.
In the event that any individual is
unable to get to the mass meeting at
the county seat on the 9th instant
you are earnestly requested to COM
municate with the chairman or any
~ in

the above meeting. For the purpose
