WAR SAVINGS STAMPS NON
TAXABLE.

Whom preparing for the Issuing
Of Thrift stamps and War Savings
Certificates the national Administered
tration very wisely decided that
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, state or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost ev-
erythins else is subject to imposs.
As the amount that an Individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deal unjustIy
toward other security holders.
It is simply an lnducement to the
small investor to make an unusual
effort In his own and his eountry's
behalf by depositins az much of his
surplus with the government as
possible. Those who buy these lit
tie bonds-and all should do it
should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return

Lend,
NOT
GIVE

In asking people to invest
In War Savings Stamps, the
Government Is not asking
them to contribute money.
It is merely asking for the
use of money, and willing to
pay literally for it.
The Government simply
wishes to employ your money
and pay for it's services just
as it would employ you and
pay you for your services.
You will get your money
back with interest COM
pound interest at the rate of
4 per cent per annum. The
stamps mature in five years,
but you can cash them any
time you wish before the
date Of maturity and still get
interest-at three per cent.
II you need the services OF
your money before five years,
the savings stamp handed to.
the postmaster will be the
letter Of resignation, and
you'll get your money back
with additional payment for
the time the Government has
used it.
There is no red tape, no
bother, no uncertainty, no
worry. It Is the simplest,
safest, and most satisfactory
investment you can make.

I'm April the country was
called upon to purchase Lib
erty Bonds TO the amount Of
three billions Of dollars. It
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars worth. In May
1t was called upon to contrib
ute 500, e00, 900 to the Amer
lean Red Cross. 1t responded
by contributing over $150,000,.
600. And the best part Of
those two responses was not
merely the amount Of money
raised, but the patriotic en-
thusiasm manifested. 1T was
made plain that the Ameri-
can nation fs determined to
prosecute this war to a sue
csssful conclusion at any
cost.
=. The hardest task is before
%, in June. The. government
IS depending upon the sale Of
two billion dollars worth Of
War Savings Stamps during
this year, and Of this amount
:. expects South Carolina to
purchase over $30,000,000
= worth of these stamps-a
greater. investment than we
were called upon to make in
the last two Liberty Loans
combined. The government
has designated the month Of
June as the period for: secur-
ing definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
Of the year, with a fair pro-
portion Of actual purchases
during that month. {
We have been associating
the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that we have lost sight Of the
other purpose involved h
this government issue, -
namely, providing a form of
investment which is suitable
to the great mass Of people,
who do not find it convenient
to visit banks to pay install
ments, but who can see eth
er the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale OF
W. 8. S., and can secure from
him a War Savings Stamp,
which pays practically the
same interest as a Liberty
Bond.
AS he continues to paste
his $500 stamps-which cost
him but slightly over $500
on his certificate, he has an
actual government bond Of
the value of all the War Saw
ings Stamps there are on 1t.

An Open Letter To The -
People of South Carolina

One stamp would be a $500
bond, for instance, and 20
stamps would be a 500 bond.
If you deposit in a savings
bank paying 4 per cent inter
est quarterly, SALT In the
month Of June, 1918, will IN
crease to $3.50 on January l,
1928: A. War Savings Stamp
bought In June for SALT will
be cashed for $500 in the
same time. The value Of q
War Savings Stamp does not
huctuate as Is the case with
a bond. because the govern
ment guarantees that q War
Savings Stamp increases one
cent a month in value. It
can be redeemed any time be-
fore maturity.
From June IA to June %
we are calling for pledges
from the mass Of people OF
our state to the amount OF
$40, 100000 these pledges to
be. redeemed during tho. bal
ance Of the year as may best
be suited to the subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
foot of the list Of states tn
its per capita purchases Of
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 20, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to it that we do
our part and take . more ap-
propriate place In the roll OF
states-and then we can look
forward. to a rest from cam
paigns until November.
Let US not forget that the
Government is relying on the
country's purchase Of two bill
lions of dollars worth Of w.
S. s. during this year as an
important part Of it's revenue
to pay for what the boys need
on the other side. That
thought should stir Us all to
instant action. Our soldiers
don't grumble or ask for rest.
II we supply them with all
that American genius and en-
ergy can produce, victory will
be FASTENED and many lives
saved. How can we expect
to rest, how can we endure
the thought Of resting when
there is something for Us to
do, as long as our boys are in
the trenches enduring the tor
mepts Of hell, and giving
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and pros
perity!
