GET READY.

The time is approaching when the
government will offer the fourth
Liberty Loan. The campaign will
open the latter part of September
and will last for about three weeks
The people of the South are in
the midst of prosperity. The people
Of Abbeville County are sharing
that prosperity. Whatever the
weather conditions from now on,
we feel sure of making a good crop
of cotton, and the conditions war
rant the inference that the price will
again be high. We are rolling in
money in this section brought to us
by the war itself.
Shall we deny to the government
a fair return for the prosperity
which the government has brought
us? Shall we deny to the men over,
seas, who are winning the victories,
a share of the great sums which
their arms are bringing to u own
shores and laying in the laps of the
people of the South, to the end
that these soldiers may continue to
fight our battles and win our victor
les with as little danger to them
selves as may be-? Shall we make
the casualty lists lighter? Shall we
say to brave men to fight on and we
will lend our support, or shall we
say to them fight my battles while
I "hog" the profits incident to the
undertaking?
We have no doubt that the coun.
try at large, and Abbeville County.
taken as a whole, will perform g
full share of duty. But in order to
take our part of the six or eight
billions of dollars worth of bonds we
should begin to lay plans to that
end. A man may want to make
financial or other arrangements ir
order to do his share towards help

ij;g the government. The farmers,
rost of all the people, are prosper
i:g now. The other government
loans have been largely taken by
other pepole. They first felt an in
terest in the war and the boys from
the industrial communities, and the
cities and towns went to the front
at the first call to arms. But the
time has come when the boys from
the farms are being called to take
their turn at the wheel. AS the peo-
pie in the towns, cities and indus
trial communities have come to the
aid of their boys, the men, in the
country with the means should nov
lose no time in getting ready to do
their part towards making their con-
tributions towards properly support
ing their own boys.
We feel sure that we may say for
the men of means in Abbeville
County who make their homes on the
farms that they are as patriotic as
those in the cities who have money.
They may not be as accustomed to.
taking large sums of money in en-
terprises as men in other callings,
but we believe, now that the war
has come home to them, that they
will not stand by and ask someone
else to do their duty.
Believing this we urge. upon the
men in the country sections to see
their bankers and to begin to ar
range to shoulder their part of the
load in the great war. Financial
arrangements may be made, but
sometimes a banker needs notice.
And we should tell them in ad-
what we expect to do. 1t is
not too much to ask of the people
of this county to put every dollar
of profit from the present crop into
the government securities. We are
somewhat of a farmer ourselves, and
propose to do so. We advise
others that it is their duty to do so.
If the profits from the cotton farms
of Abbeville County this year are
invested in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps our quota will have
been paid.
Let us do our duty to our govern
ment.

eel friends, then we should judge
his opponent by his political friends
e so, and foremost amongst them
we would call the name of W. P.
Geard. Beard started a paper here
during the campaign of 1914 be-
tween Dominick and Aiken in which
he advocated in one column the
election of Aiken and in the next
the election of Blease. He was al
ways and under all circumstances
a friend of Aiken and n of his
most sought after political advisers,
judging by appearances. His paper
was published by W. W. Bradley and
his partner in their newspaper Of
flee in Abbeville. W. W. Bradley
was Aiken's private secretary. When
the present owners of The Press and
Banner purchased the plant, they
refused to longer publish the Scimi-
tar, and then under the instructions
of W. W. Bradley, still Aiken's Sec
rotary, a considerable amount Of
type was turned over to w. P.
Beard, which it Vas stated Beard
would pay for, but the same was
charged to W. W. Bradley on the
books of this office, and will there
speak for itself. The Scimitar was
published continually from that
time until it was barred from the
mails by the United States post Of
fee authorities on account OF
Boards disloyal u~tterances. 1t sup
ported Aiken all this time.
After the Scimitar was debarred
from the mails and after it had been
adjudged to be disloyal in its utter
ances, Beard again tried to get out
a under the name of The
PEOPLES Advocate. He did get out
one issue and offer it to the post
office. And who do the voters of
this district suppose was one OF the
contributors to that paper? Will
they be surprised to know that Wy.
att Aiken appears in an interview in
that paper, undertaking to defend
certain acts of his as a public man?
Is it loyal to be a patron Of a dis
loyal paper?' By contributing to its
columns did Aiken not endorse
Boards efforts? Did he want his
support in this election?
And the people Should know that
after Beard was convicted of dis
loyal utterances and sent to the At
lanta Penitentiary, or while he was
on his road there, Wyatt Aiken ap-
peared at the Department Of JUS
tice in Washington and asked for a
parole for his supporter, W. p
Beard. Is that loyalty? Was ne
trying to get Beard out to help him
in this election? %! ,.;.!'' !
The people rnsy refuse to vote
for Dominick because of his con-
nection with Cole L. Blease, but
Will they support Wyatt Aiken,
knowing of his relations with Beard?

take your choice"

THE ILLITERACY COMMISSION
The ~Illiteracy Commission has is
sued the following statement:
1. The I~lliteracy Commission of
South Carolina was appointed by
he Governor at the request of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
II. PRINCIPLES.
l. State Pride. The shame of
being the most laggard Of all the
States in literacy should sting the
decent ~self-respect of every South
Carolinian into vigorous action.
2. The Future. The terrific test
to which our political fitness and in
dustrial competence will be put in
the fierce after-war struggle de-
mands universal education as a con-
dition of self-preservation.
8. A War-Measure of the First
Magnitude. Since the success Of
the war depends mainly on the whole
hearted devotion of the people, the
first duty of patriotism is to see that
no citizen remain insulated from
the currents of the Nations mind.
A.. To save the world, the effici-
ency of rapacity must be over
matched by the efficiency of demo-
cratic intelligence.
S. TIC deny to any of our people
the chance even to read the word of
God is to violate the very spirit of
Christianity.
6. 1t is pathetic and intolerable
that hundreds of worthy people can
not read or write the letters be-
tween themselves and their boys in
camp and trnch.
III THE WORK OF THE COM
MISSION.
l.. The Commission is to work
under the leadership of the State
Department of Education and as
an auxiliary to it.
2. 1t purposes to do all in it's
power to cooperate with, encourage,
and aid all persons, organizations,
and other agencies that are striving
for the education of illiteracy from
the State.
8. 1t will endeavor-
To work for such legislation as is
necessary for the success of the
cause;
To use all legitimate means of
propaganda and agitation;
To become a center for the gath
ering and exchange of information
and for correlation of all agencies
in the State working toward the
same end;
To assist, as far as possible, in
actual execution;
To raise the money that may be
necessary for the above named ends.
