PEDOED.
American Destroyer Rescuing Sur
vivols From japanese Ship Fired
Upon by Submarine.

A British Port, Monday, Oct. y
(By the Associated Press).-The
japanese steamship Hirano Maru, of
1885 tons gross, has been torpedoed
and sunk. It is feared that 300 lives
were lost.
The Hirano Maru was outward
bound for Japan and carried about
200 passengers. The vessel was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine early on Friday morning
when about 800 miles south Of Ire
land.
The few survivors who were picked
up by the American torpedo boat de-
stroyer Serret, have been brought
here. They declare that the torpedo
struck the steamer in the forward
engine room.
Nothing remained for those on
b urd, including the women and chill
dren, but to plunge into the ocean. a
large number, however, went down
with the ship. The vessel disappear
ed completely within seven minutes
after being struck by the torpedo.
The scene was indescribable. The
weather was bad. The cries of the
drowning were heartrending.
Everybody had been supplied with
belts, but only the strongest were
able to stand the exposure.
Prov;dentially the commander Of
the American destroyer Sterret heare
the explosion. He found the ship haf
disappeared and he saw mass o.
people struggling in the water.
The American warship picked W
thirty persons, one of whom dice
while being brought ashore.
Among the survivors were thes'
passengers in the first cabin: A. A
Young, Louis Durmon, A. B. Asklaca
T. H. Butler and Fred j. Karscn
About twenty-five members OF tn
japanese crew were rescued.
While the American destroye
sterret was engaged in the work o
mercy and picking up the men an
women struggling in the water, tn
German submarine fired two torpe
does at the warship. Both missile
happily missed their mark. Afte

); vivors the Sterret headed for the sub
marine firing several shots and drop

To District Directors:

To District Directors:
Sumter county has fallen down on
the War Savings job. We were asked
to pledge sS51,2S0.OO, and we pledged
s367,958O0, less than half. Of that
we have bought s143,sS7.50. again
less than half. We stand only 22'!
among the counties, and the year is
almost gone.

ou can count on this, people are

stick them under their noses. Peo-
pie will buy War Savings stamps ii
they are constantly before them. Put
these stamps before your people.
In your district how many men, Or
women, or children, white or colored
are doing anything at all toward get
ting others to, buy stamps? How
many have you asked to work? j
stamps are to be sold in your dis
trict you have to ask for help from
your neighbors; you have to quit go
ing it alone.
Make every store carry stamps;
make every doctor carry stamps;
make 40 or so patriotic citizens in
different parts of the district carry
stamps, and then let it be thoroughly
known from one end to the other,
that stamps can be had at all these
places and from all these parties at all
times
In your district there are trading
points where people gather. Have
stamp tables selling there as theE 3
sold on the street here Tuesdays and
Saturdays. Have tables selling at
every social or other gathering: have
stamps selling wherever and whenev-
er possible.
1t took quite an effort to get eight
table teams to sell on the street here,
but we got 'en, and since they start

fold. You too can get workers.
You and are not he keepers OF
the conscience nor the pocketbook OF

w. S. S. MUST BE SEEN TO BE

Chairman Asks Out of Town District
Directors to Place Stamps Before
the People-Points Out Ways by
Which Sales Can be Increased.

The Chairman OF War Savings for
this county has called to the atter-
ton of the nineteen district directors
outside of the city the poor sales OF
stamps the county is making. He
SAYS that there is but one way to ,real-
" sell stamps continuously, and that
is for the people to be constantly re-
minded of them by seeing the stamps
themselves. Each district director is
urged to have stamps on sale public
ly at all gathering places, and to en-
list men, women, and children, white
and colored, in the active selling OF
the stamps all through the district.
Sumter county is credited with the
sale of s143,9S7.50 in stamps, and OF
this the Sumter postoffice has made
sales of s12O,9S2.5O.
The war saving stamp work differs
from other war works in that 1t does
not run by campaigns but is con-
tinuous the year round. Moreover
this is one form of work to which the
whole population may contribute. To
keep stamps directly before the whole
population of a county calls for much
work, and any one who wishes tc
show patriotism in this way can dc
SO. A few stamps. $500 worth, s2i
worth, or $500 worth can be bough'
and kept in store or office, Or car
ried about the person to be sold tt
those who wish to buy but who dc
not get to postofices often. There i:
no cost attached to this as every
cent that goes into the stamps comes
back just as soon as the stamps ar'
sold, but by keeping the stamps ant
by letting ohers know that they cal
be had from you, the sales are helped
tremendously. Here is a chance TO
much volunteer work by those wt1t
are willing to help.

district directors follows:

In writing the letter Of inquiry to

he knew that the State Board OF
