Wednesday October 2
Fourth Liberty Loan Patriotic
Rally.

On Monday night in the Edgetleld
Opera House a very enthusiastic raj
" was held for the Fourth Liberty
Loan, beginning the drive for a hall
million dollars for Edgeield county.
Seated on the platform were MIR.
A. E. Padgett, Rev. A. L. Gunter,
Hon. Finley Henderson, B. E. Nlchol-
son., ]. C. Sheppard, J. L. Minis and
Sergeant Miller.
Mr. A. E. Padgett, county chair
man, presided over the meeting and
made a very stirring appeal to the
audience for their support and loyal
ty to their country and their boys l n
this critical time.
Mr.. Finley Henderson of Aiken,
District Chairman of the Liberty
Loan made a magnificent address. At
the close of this Mrs. R. G. Shannon
house sang "The Marseillaise" as a
solo. One gentleman in the audience
paid this nigh tribute to her voice
and spirit. He said, "When Mrs. Shan
nonhouse sings "The Marseillaise,"
and says "To arms! To arms, We
Brave" it makes me want to fight"
What greater estimate could be made
of this voice in these times of hero
ism than that it stirred to action the
energies and enthusiasm of a soldier
or civilian?
At the close Of this song, Sergeant
Miller of Camp Jackson, formerly a
resident of California was introduced
and spoke with great vehemence, en-
pertaining the audience with expert
ences and incidents.
Through the chairman of the Lib
erty Loan, Mr.. Padgett, who took the
subscriptions from the platform mere
than $4,000 was subscribed.
Ex-Governor J. c. Sheppard also
occupied the platform and gave an
appeal which he had heard used in
Sumter where he had been invited
to speak recently on a similar occa-
sion, that each one give according to
his or her sympathy for the boys at
the front. This no doubt had its effect
in stirring the audience to greater
giving.

The Fourth Liberty Loan Bond.

These bonds will be issued in de-
nominations of $4,000 $4,000, and
upwards. The interest rate is 4 IA
per cent. payable semi-annually.
The term of the bond is twenty
years. making the bond payable in
1888. However, the United States
reserves the right to aedeem these
bonds in 1888, in fifteen years
This makes no difference since
these bonds will advance to a
premium over their par value as
soon as the war is over, and then
the present subscribers will sell
them.
There are two forms of these
bonds. The registered bond, is
made payable to the subscriber and
has no coupons attached to it. The
interest on this form of bond is
paid from the United States Treas
ury. The other form is the coupon
bond payable to bearer and passes
from one owner to another by sim
pie delivery just as currency does.
The interest on the latter form is
paid by coupons attached to the
bond and these are clipped by the
holder as they mature and cashed
at any bank.

DEPARTMENT RULE

Tallahassee, May i0.-(Special.)-
| Representative citizens Of Tallahassee
have petitioned the congressman and
senators of Florida to use every means
within their power to oppose the fol-
lowing provision of the naval appropri-
alton bill now pending:
THAT no part of the appropriations
made in this act shall be available for
the salary or pay of any officer, man
ager, superintendent, foreman or other
person having charge Of the work OF
any employee of the United States gov
eminent while making or causing to
be made with a stop-watch or other
time-measuring device time study of
any job of any such employee while
engaged upon such work: nor shall any
part of the appropriations made in this
act be available to pay any premiums
or bonuses or cash reward to any en-
ployee in addition to his regular wages
except for suggestions resulting in i'm
provements Or economy in the opera
ton of government plant.
We feel that the United States gov
eminent should be free to take any ac-
ton which will speed the work at the
munitions plants, of any and every de-
scription; and if it be necessary 10
stimulate production to offer any cash
or other bonuses as rewards of merit
and patriotism, this matter should be
left entirely within the jurisdiction of
the proper officials, who shall act only
under the authority OF President Will
son.
We depreciate any attempt, under
whatever guise, to hamper or cripple
the efforts of our government at this
critical time, and urge you, as true
Americans, to stand by the president in
this matter, and to oppose any bill
which carries within its provisions any
power whatsoever that can lower the
efficiency and retard the speed of war
preparations. The honor OF Our coun-
try must be backed by our every dol
lar and our utmost personal support
