CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
BEHIND WITH HER W.S.S:

Charleston-Chesterfield county is
behind in its War Savings Stamps
purchases, according to a report COM
piled by the South Carolina War Saw
ings committee. For the months of
June, July, AMI August Chesterfield
county pledged itself to purchase
in the June pledge campaign-War
Savings Stamps to the extent of
$iS,Si5. The actual purchases for
the three months are $35 024, which
is a deficit of $l3,791. During the
same period 81 counties-for which
reports are complete-purchased
Sl14,272 worth of W.S.S. in excess
Of the pledges made in the June cam-
paigr, and the State War Savings
Committee feels disappointed in
Chcsteriie!d's sohwing, especially in
view of the fact that in the June cam
paign the county did not attain it's
quota.
The Chesterfield report shows that
OF The cOunty's June campaign quota
Of %360,OOO worth Of W.S.S, pledg-
cs amounting to $254,908, or 7O.8
were obtaiend. OF maximum quo
IA of $40 per capita for the year, the
pledges amounted, per capita, to
1888. Of white population OF 49,
500, there were $500 who pledged
themselves to purchase W.S.S., and
of a colored population of 12,1OO,
there were LAP who pledged them
selves. The average white pledge
was $4l.6l and the average colored
pledge $1.38. The report shows that
80 persons pledged themselves to
purchase the limit of W.S.S.-$1,O 200
worth.
The State committee hopes that
the people Of Chesterfield county will
redeem the pledges which were for
gotten or neglected, and keep up
with and exceed their pledges. 1t is
not thought that there is any reason
why Chesterfield county should lag
behind the other counties in the
State.

DR.. Solf, the German secretary fol
| foreign affairs, has sent another mes.
sage to President Wilson on the i'm.
portant question of peace. This
time Germany processes to accept all
the conditions as laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson. The reply indicates
Germany's willingness to evacuate
occupied territory under an agree
ment to be reached by the military
chiefs in the field. 1t is announced
IN the note, that all submarine com
manders have been ordered to cease
attacks on passenger vessels. Denial
is made that lifeboats and passen-
gers have been ever purposely des-
troyed or that any authorized atroci-
ties have been committed by German
troops.
1t is declared that Germany now
has parliamentary form of govern
ment responsible to the people.
In the war theatre the allied arm
les have taken no heed of the efforts
under way for the reestablishmcnt of
peace, but are continuing to force
back the Germans at vital points
long the lines in Belgium and France.

The large ginning plant of the
Peoples Gin Company in the west
ern part of town was destroyed by

INDICATIONS POINT TO BIG
AMERICAN MOVE AT FRONT

Washington, Oct. 23- Further
indications of an impending major
attack by the American armies on
the Verdun front came to-day in re-
ports of fierce fighting around Vou-
ziers, where the French are ham,
mering at the flank OF the forest po-
Sitlon which appears to have been
holding up the general American
movement. Official German reports
show the intensity of the fighting and
admit advances. There is little doubt
that the enemy views the action as
of great Importance.

Dear Mama: Just few lines to

old kaiser l think they will soon
come to some sort of peace plan.
Haven't heard from any of you
in over week. Hope you are get
ting on all right. Hope it won't be
long before l can come back and
help you all with the crops.
