WAR PLEDGES MUST Be SIGNED

The reasons why everyone in South
Carolina is expected tc sign the pledge
during. the forthcoming war savings
campaign were stated today in a
statement issued by the war saw
ings committee, whic,, reads a. fol-
lows:
The person who refuses to sign
the war savings pledge will go on rec
ord as refusing to stand back Of our
army and navy at time when the
case of humanity is depending on the
strlctest efforts Of every man and
woman in America. Such person,
regardless. Of his intentions, Will find
that his. loyalty will be questioned,
because IN refusing 20 sign the pledge

deaths from all causes is 1892, while
4547 men have been wounded IL ac-

oners), SAG.
Total casualties reported to date,

With more than 100000 soldiers
sent overseas, officials pointed to the
small number, 291, lost through opera
|'tion of German submarines, as show
ing the effectiveness of the convoy
system. The men lost were on the
torpcdoed British steamers Tuscahia
and Moldavia
The comparatively small number Of
men dying from wounds is pointed to
as indicating the efficiency Of the am
bulance and hospital systems, while
the fact that only 1924 men have died
OF disease is accepted as proof of the
excellent physical. condition of Amer
lca's fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration is
that of the wounded men a very
nigh percentage return to duty at the
front IN less than six weeks.

to save and to cconomiZc he will be
disobeying the mandate of the Prcsi-
dent. 1t is unthinkahle, when the well
fare and safety of our heroic soldiers
and those OF our Allies are depending
on the support which is expected from
'those at home, that there is one loyal
man or woman who will refuse to sign
the w. S. S. pledge.
The public will listen with scant
patience to the person who claims that
he cannot afford to sign pledge or
who utters the thoughtless statement
that there are too many campaigns.
The public will not tolerate these two
attitude. There is no man or woman
in South Carolina who cannot invest
at least SALT, and the great majority
can invest considerably moro in war
savings stamps. Each individual will
be expected to pledge the maximum
amount he or she can save during the
year. AS far as campaigns are con-
cerncd, until the monStrouS German
power which planned and prccipitated
the most dreadful war which has ever
scourged the earth is shattered, there
can not be too many campaigns. Un-
til we have rid the world of the curse
of German lust for power, we can en-
pect and must welcome campaign af-
ter campaign for the cause Of victory
And because the w. S. S. campaign
is test of loyalty we know that every
person in South Carolina will respond
will proudly enlist IN. the army of
savers which President Wilson has
called for-will sign the pledge cheer
fully and gladly, with a feeling Of
deep gratitude that in this way we can
partially rcquite the heroic sacrifices
which our fighting men are making"

THREE MEN ARRESTED
Charged With Operating Liquor Still
Near Chappells

D Ncwbery, June 1G.--Three young
men Of Greenwich County,. G.
Bates, Sam Montgomery and Ellis
Robertson-have been arrested Il
greenville on warrant issued by
Sheriff Cannon q. Blease, Of Nc"be"-
~ County, the men being charged
with operating a liquor still near
Chapells, this county. BY an order
from Sheriff Rector, the young men
were called before the draft board Ut
Greenville. If they are not accepted
for service in the army the mn will be
turned over to the authorities Of New
berry County.
The three men were employed at n
saw mill near Chappe!!s, having cone
down from Greenville County for The
purpose Of working at this mill. Find
ing in the neighborhood an old still
which had for years lain hidden away
o the premises Of resident of the
community, the men took possession
o fthe outfit without apprising the
owner of their plans ana rigging it up
in secluded spot, they began the
manufacture of mOonSnlne liquor. 1t
was not long before Sheriff Blaasc
and Deputies Taylor and Dorroh were
informed of the acts Of the men and n
raid was promptly planned
When the officers arrived on the
spot, the men had removed the still
and had left for parts unknown, moth
ing but several boxes Of mash and
other Indications Of the operation of
still being left for the officers. How
ever, the officers got possession suf-
ficient evidence to justify the swear
ing out of warrants for the three men,
which resulted in their prompt arrest
by Sheriff Rector, Of Greenvillc.
This is the only liquor still which i:,
known to have been operated in New
berry County in recent years, al
though it Is stated that other counties
in this section of the State have their
manufacturers Of moonshine. Sheriff

Former Minot Lumberman Writes
From Chippewa Falls.

T. j. Vincent, who for years was
auditor for the Rogers Lumber Co.,
writes from Chippewa Falls, Wis,
where he is engaged in the lumber
business. He says in part: "Think
we are going to like it here. Chippe-
wa Falls is about the size of Minot;
is good substantial town and / be-
lieve has bright future on account of
it's great water power, which has al
ready attracted several manufacture
ing Industries and will undoubtedly
draw many others. There are dozen
factories here now, viz: four shoe
factories, one glove, one flour mill, a
sugar beet factory, wooden mill, sash
and door company, rubber tire and a
large brewery, besides canning fac
tory.
"The power company furnishes pow
about 10 per cent of the power is used,
so it is reasonable to think that this
will become a manufacturing center.
This, as you know, is the home of the
famous Chippewa Spring Water and
it is so plentiful it is used for all do
nestle purposes. 1t is certainly worth
a great deal to have such pure, health
full water and in such abundance.
There are great many trees here and
the people keep their places up in
fine shape. have an idea it is a very
pretty town in the summer. There is
very pretty natural park containing
over 200 acres within few blocks of
the center of the city.
Building prospects for 1918 are
good-shall be satisfied if so per cent
