TERRELL COUNTY WILL BACK
HER BOYS BY TAKING FULL
ouOTA OF BONDS ALLOTTED
IN COMING DRIVE.

The campaign for the fourth lib
ortv loan will open in Terrell county
on next Saturday, September 28th,
and of course we are going to buy
the quota that has been asked of our
neople. The amount is $480,000.
That much is asked of the county
To help the government finance the
terrible conflict the kaiser and his
bordes have brought on the other
nations.
Of course we are going to buy
that amount. The only thing is how
much more and how quickly are we
going to do it. Terrell county people
are going to put Terrell county dol
lars back of Terrell county soldiers
and let them work together to win
the war.
A Card From Chairman Saville.
To the general public: The fourth
liberty loan drive begins Saturday,
September 28th. The amount to be
raised not having been stated, is APP
proximatelys six billion dollars. The
war expenditures for the year be-
ginning July 1st last will be twenty
four billion dollars; eight billion to
be raised by income and excess profit
taxes, fourth liberty loan for six bill
lion, and two loans for five billion
each during the first six months of
1919. 1t is to be hoped that with this
amount in hand and with four million
men in France we will begin to see
our way clear to a speedy and victori-
GUS conclusion of the war.
Just at this moment there is much
agitation as to the fixing or stabiliz-
ing the price of cotton. This should
and no doubt will be done, but no
one need have any fear that the price
made will not be satisfactory to all.
The prices of other commodities that
the government has deemed best to
take charge of have all been arrang-
ed satisfactory and should it develop
that there has been a mistake made
it can be quickly corrected, as the
war industries board handling these
matters has supreme authority. The
price will probably be between thirty
and thirty-five cents and may be fix
ed before this article goes to press.
Regardless of the price of cotton
every patriotic citizen is expected to
do his full duty in subscribing to this
issue. The rate of interest will be
Az per cent and will doubtless be
free from taxation in amounts of less
than S25, 1000, the last two issues hav-
ing been exempt to the aomunt of
$4,000 when owned by one party.
The security is the best; the cause
is the most humane; so let US all rise
up as one and go cover the top" with
this loan and again put Terrell coun-
ty on the honor roll as we did in the
two previous issues. Respectfully,
R. L. SAVILLE, County Chrm'n.
