w. S. S. Sales Decreasing.

Postmaster Knight wishes to cali
attention to the fact that the sales
Of war savings and thrift stamps
show a serious decrease during the
month of August so far. Up to Sat-
urdav the total sales in the county
amounted for the month to less than
50. 900. and of this amount sl'ooo
worth was bought by n purchaser.
This is a serious matter, n seems
to indicate that the people are not
living up to their pledges. Tne re-
deeming of pledges to buy war stamps
is a pledge to your government &c
help win the war, and is as mucI
of an obligation as if you bought 9
bill of goods from a store.
The county made a magnlncen'
showing in securing pledges during
June. but pledges do not amount u
anything unless they are kept. Thos'
who pledged to buy so many stamp
during this month are earnestly urg
ed to 20 at once to their postomce
or to some dealer and purchase them
You are asked by the State commit
tee not only to buy what you PLEDGE
to purchase, but more. 1t is you
patriotic duty to do this before tn
last day of August.

Deliver No More Packages.

AS a step toward getting on a war
basis, the merchants of Bamberg have
agreed to dispense with all delivery
service, and beginning September =
no packages will be delivered by the
merchants. This action has been ia
ken bv the merchants in other cltles'
and is in accordance with the desire
of the government that every pos
sible shall be employed in some USE
full occupation. At the request OF
the War Emergency Employment
Service board of this county the town
merchants have all entered into a vol
untary agreement to dispense with
their delivery boys. This means that
after September 2, no packages Will
he delivered by the merchants OF
| Bamberg. While this may be an IN
convenience to some, it will at the
same time be a great saving OF LABOR
It is stated that some twenty boys
are employed in delivery service II
Ramberg. These same boys coulc
pick several bales of cotton a week
This would be a great deal more ben
efcial to the country than deliver
ing packages. In this matter the pup
lie is asked to cooperate with thf
merchants, and in carrying their OWL
bundles they are actually aiding TN
government to win the war by re
leasing labor that is thus required
for more essential work.
