Saving Historical Material

Not long ago the suggestion was made by the
Palladium that material of historical value per-
tanning to the war should be preserved in the city
library 1t was pointed out that historical ma
terial of Wayne county's participation in the
Civil war is lacking. The general outlines are
matters of record, but the hundreds of little in
cidents and the scores of auxiliary enterprises
that worked with success have become tradition.
No printed record remains for this generation.
The Indiana State Council of Defense through
Demarchus c. Brown state librarian, and Harlow
Lindley, director of the department of Indiana
history and archives. has issued an appeal, ask
ing that two copies Of every communication, pos
ter, program, photograph, etc., which has bear
ing on the participation of the community IN the
war, be turned over to the local librarian.
The work of gathering this material from day
to day is not laborious. 1t will become task II
it is not kept up daily. The matter is of sui
ficient Importance to warrant attention by citi-

both private initiative and public regulation. 1t
might be asked why the government did not let
the express companies fade away and simply alb
sorb their business for nothing. There was
specific proposal of that sort in the suggestion
that the government should establish pickup
plan and "store delivery" that is to say, should
conduct the entire business of transportation be-
tween sender and receiver of goods. That is the
foreign custom. Our method resulted in termin-
al problems which cost more for local delivery
than for the line haul, and contributed not a lit
tie to the stoppage of all traffic in the manner
which needs no description.
Government operation of the express COM
panes should end the terminal problem. Users
of the express system should be relieved of the
cost and trouble of delivering their freight to the
railways. or of removing their consignments
from the railway premises, where goods have
piled up so that confusion and blockade reigned
supreme. The arrangement gives the govern
ment at half price the benefit of an organized
and trained system in addition to the value of
the plant, which is worth much more than what
it would be got at any reasonable cost under
present conditions. The express terminals are
already organized in connection with the rail-
ways and they turn over some 10000 motor We
hicles which it would be inconvenient for the
director general to buy under present conditions.
The 100000 employees of the four unified COM
panies will serve the public better under one Or
sanitation no doubt, and the director general is
relieved of the unnecessary trouble of organizing
a business of considerable size, even when COM
pared with the railways. On the basis of the
period for which the railways guaranteed fu-
ture earnings, the express companies show earn
ings of $3,700,0O0.
There is no guarantee of express earnings,
but the partnership of the government with the
express companies can have no difficulty of
earning 5 percent the capitalization of $780,
900, 900. There is rather a prospect that the
economies of unificaton, and the natural growth
of improved service, will result in larger profits
Above percent the government is the preferred
partner, its share rising the profit rises, until
the governments share is threefold that of the
companies. It is promising bargain for all con-
cerned, the companies, the government, and the
patrons of them BOTH Probably the faint of i'm
morality arising from the distress Of the COM
panies by government action will trouble nobody,
although the tide now is setting in favor of bust
ness as strongly as it had set against it.

Matchmaking the Express Business
Saws the New York Times:

Says the New York Times:
The settlement of the express problem is on
all fours with the settlement of the railway prob
lem. IN both cases the trouble arose from 'scien-
tifc" but impractical regulation, and IN both
cases the government had to prescribe to cure
the fits into which the Interstate Commerce
Commission threw the patient. Nothing could
have been further from the intent of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission than the results of
it's acts. The Commission meant only good, and
expected popularity and power as the result of its
reducing the profits and rates of the unpopular
express rates was as symmetrical and logical as
the postal zone rates. But they were as bad for
the patient as the postal zone rates threaten to
be.
The railway and express settlements are alike
in that both preserve some of the benefits of

The grave is marked by small slab
well preserved, and aside from the

An Appeal From the County
Chairman For War Saw
ings Stamps.

South Carolina has enjoyed the
reputation of being one of the lead
ing states of the Union. This distinc-
ton has not been voluntarily thrust
upon her, nor was it by accident but
by deeds done, merits won by ardu-
Gus undertakings and other ways too
numerous to mention. She has done
herself proud in the quality and num-
Der of soldiers furnished for this
war, she has exceeded the demands
for the Bond issues, Red Cross and
Y. NJ. C. A. and has kept apace with
the other sister States in every un-
dertaking that has been suggested for
victory over the Huns EXCEPT ONE.
Why should this be?
Further, Edgefield county has al
ways been to South Carolina what
this State has been to the Union. To-
day she enjoys the plaudit, "Well
done" in her share of all the de-
mands upon the State EXCEPT ONE
And why should this be?
Our State occupies the unenvl-
able position of being last in the list
of States in regard to the sale of War
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-06-19

Savings Stamps and Edgefield county
up to June 18th was almost at the
bottom of the list of counties of the
State. Some counties have sold al
most S4.00 for each person while
Edgefeld has sold only an average
of 27 cents worth of War Savings
Stamps for each person. Is this due
to lack of patriotism? Emphatically,
no! Is it the lack of money? Judging
the county resources by the natural
index, her banks, we say no to this.
Procrastination seems to be the an
swer. The time allowed for the sale
of the War Savings Stamps was from
January 1, 1918 to December 81,
1918. Our Government expected that
each month would yield it's quota of
the $2,0OO,0OO,OO0. This was intend
ed as regular bond issue in which
every man, woman and child might
part ipate. But procrastination has
said, "There is time enough yet"
So urgent are the demands upon
the Government for money that Pres
ident Wilson has issued proclama-
tion setting apart June 14th to June
2Sth for National War Savings
Stamps campaign in which time the
whole issue of War Savings Stamps
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-06-19

is to be purchased or pledged. Quite
a number of the States, principally
in the West have taken up their
quota. Now we have an opportunity
to redeem ourselves in a two-fold
way: 1. To remove the stigma from
the name of our fair State. 2. To
make reputation for our grand old
county.
Let US go "over the top" We be-
lieve in our boys in the first line of
defence in France and that they will
go over the top and take the Huns
when volunteers are called. Therefore
that our boys may confidently believe
in US, it behooves US in the second
line of defence in>free America, when
offered the opportunity and called
upon to volunteer with our means
to go over the top, thereby showing
our patriotism and determination to
take the Huns and keep our country
free.
Now for the convenience of every
body in the county and to facilitate
the buying and pledging of the
stamps the Nebraska plan, as nearly
as possible, has been adopted. By it
the State of Nebraska raised more
than her quota in one day. The Ma
tional Committee recommends it to
us. A census has been made of every
school district in the county and the
County chairman has in his office
the names of both male and female,
white and colored over 16 years of
age. Every loyal citizen is expected
to attend the meeting designated for
their respective school district men,
toned elsewhere in this paper. Be
sides doing a patriotic service in at
tending these meetings you will be
delightfully."- entertained by the good
speakers provided for each place. A
list of the citizens of each school dis
trict will be in the hands of the local
committee.
This is a call of the President
call of your country-don't be a
Stacker.
E. J. Minis,
County Chairman.
