1t will be observed from the above
figures that our county has raised
about one third of the amount which
the government has asked the people
to buy. The county is on trial and the
people are asked to render a just ver-
dict. 1T is up to the citizens of Pickens
county to buy the amount of stamps
which the government has asked them
to buy. The people are abundantly
able, and ask that they buy these
stamps and bring up the quota Of each
township to the amount apportioned,
and more, if possible. This is no time
to let the other fellow do the buying
and the work. We have exceeded our
quota in all the other drives, and will
exceed our quota in this one if every
body will do their duty. We have un-
til the 3lst day of December, 1918, to
raise the quota allotted. The stamps
can be bought at any of the post Offices
in the county. A great many Of the
banks handle them, and they can be
bought in many towns from the stores
and all Of the rural carriers sell them
