The War Savings Stamps.

The drive is on for the sale of War
Savings Stamps. Just what the record
will be for Edgefeld county at the
close depends upon every man, wo-
man and child in the county. Prob
ably many persons of limited means
felt relieved from purchasing Liber-
ty Bonds, owing to the large amount
of the bonds, but nobody will be eX-
cused from taking part in the Stamp
drive for any such reason. The small
amount involved in the purchase Of
War Savings Stamps places. them
within reach of everybody. VIII you
be patriotic and purchase stamps to
the extent of your means or will you
be a Stacker by failing to do your
duty? Every individual must answer
for himself.

Concise Descriptions of the
Thrift Stamp and the War
SAVINGS Stamp.

Thrift Stamps sell for 25 cents
each. Sixteen of them, pasted on a
card which will be furnished free,
can be converted into interest-bear-
ing War Savings Stamps, simply by
paving the few cents difference be-
tween the value of the 16 stamps
and the current cost of the War Saw
ings Stamps. (This difference would
be 13 cents in February and l cent
additional for each later month";.
War Savings Stamps can be bought
in February for Sab, and the cost
will increase one cent each later
month as they are bought. In March
the cost will be $4.14. On January
/, 1923, the government will redeem
every War Savings Stamp you have
for $500, which is the original price
plus interest at 4 per cent compound
ed quarterly. These stamps are past
ed on certificates furnished free and
they may be REGISTERED. They ar as
safe as the United States.
Thrift Stamps can be redeemed in
War Savings Stamps. The latter can
be redeemed at any time before ma
turity at the rate of 8 per cent.

FOR SALE EVERYWHERE
Should Reflect Mr.. Lever.

As The Advertiser has repeated
~ stated, Hon. A. F. Lever has made
one of the most useful Congressman
that South Carolina has had in a
long time. The letters of President
Wilson, urging him to remain in Con-
gress are a very strong endorsement
of his real worth, and his decision
to withdraw from the senatorial race
in obedience to the wishes of the
President has caused very general
satisfaction. Mr.. Lever is needed in
this crisis where he is now serving
and the people of his district should
rise en- masse and re-elect him.

GERMANS BOMB YARD

Paris, April 27.-The largest freiehter
in the French mercantile marine serv-
ice was launched at Dunkirk yester-
day and now is safe in a French port
remote from the fighting zone. 1t is
$50 feet long and is Of $4,000 tons dis
placement.
The Germans. aware of the locality.
of the shipyard. tried in every way to
interfere with the work and destroy
the yard and ship. Long range guns
bOmbarded the vicinity, air raiding Go
thas dropped bombs there and twice
flOtillas of torpedo boats attempted
quick bombarding raids, but the work
was pushed to the limit and the launch
ing. which was expected only in the
middle of May. was advanced three
weeks
On the night preceding the launch
ing the Germans tried to lombard
the shipyard with Gothas. but were
beaten off. The enemy then sowed
mine fields along the course which they
knew the freighter would travel, but
the mines were picked up the next day
The ministry of marine considers 1t 6
great feat to build and launch great
ship within seven miles of the actua
fighting front.
