War Savings Stamp
Campaign Now On

"The people of South Carolina are
beginning to realize the value of the
War Savings and Thrift Stamps"
said Joe Sparks, State organizer for
the War Savings Committee, who is
in Union for conference with J. Fl.
Hope, county director for the War
Savings campaign. Mr. Sparks was
very much pleased with the progress
of the campaign in Union County.
A strenuous campaign is to be con-
Quoted by Prof. Hope for the organi-
zation of stamp agencies throughout
the country. Plans are being worked
out so as to simplify the purchase of
the Thrift Stamps. Prof. Hope will,
at an early date, make tour of the
county in the interest Of the War
Savings Stamps and the Junior Red
Cross,
All citizens of Union are urged to
purchase literally of the stamps.
every stamp purchased is bullet
fired at the kaiser" said Mr.. Sparks.
"The sales of War Savings Stamps
are mounting up daily. Reports from
Washington show that two million
dollars worth of these stamps are be-
ing purchased every day. Union coun-
ty is expected to purchase about a
half million dollars worth of these
stamps before the end of the year
"The War Savings Stamps are
worth more than 100 cents on the dol
lar. Reports have reached the War
Savings committee to the effect that
certain citizens of Union County are
purchasing these stamps at greatly
reduced value. This is violation of
the laws of the United States. Sc
cret service agents will be sent to
Union unless this practice is stopped
and those violating the laws will suf-
fer the severe penalty of the law.
"Money put into War Savings
Stamp is the best investment in the
country today The Thrift Stamps
may be purchased for 25 cents each
Sixteen of these Thrift Stamps and
a few additional cents will purchase
a War Savings Stamp which will be
worth $500 on January 1, 1923.
"Citizens of Union desiring infor-
nation concerning the stamps should
communicate with Prof. J. H. Hope,
county superintendent of education.
America is engaged in very serious
war. The whole-hearted support of
every individual must be secured if
America is to win. Union County
leads all other counties in the United
States in aiding the government and
the War Savings committee believes
that the same record will be main
tanned in the sale of Thrift and War
Savings Stamps"

Letters. From France
Dear Fried

Dear Fried
Hello, received letter from you
sometime ago and just neglected
writing but do excuse me this time
and will be more prompt next time
I took a crazy notion at first and
thought I would not write while was
in France but second thought made
me decide otherwise.
I am we'll and having a grand time.
I cannot tell you anything, but you
write me long letters and tell me
everything that is going on--and
about everybody-all the girls. Has
Jim gone to the navy yard or is he
still in Union? Are they conscript-
ing many from Union? Do write me
long letter and tell me all the news.
Hope to hear from you soon
Your Friend,
Luther w. Gibbs,

War Savings Stamps
americas Great Thrift Army Has
Begun Its Spring Drive

The South CAROLINA division of saw
frs is going "over the top" with the
hest Of the country. The United
States treasury has already received
sixty-five million dollars from the
sale of these little thrift stamps.
Sales are now running about two mil
lion dollars per day.
This is equal to the entire cost of
running the government ten years
ago.
1t is double the receipts of the
Postoffice Department or of the Gus
toms Service before the war.
1t is more than double the highest
rate Of growth ever reached by the
savings banks in this country.
The money now coming in from
War Savings Stamps every day
would pay for 10000 tons of shipping.
At this rate it would provide in a
year for three million tons or mo, G
than half the program of the Ship
ping Board.
This money is not given to the
Government; it is merely loan from
the people which will be repaid with
interest.
Every time you buy a War Savings
Stamp you lay up money for your,
self, you provide the Government
with money to win the war, and hest
of all you release materials and SER
vice which alone can make possible
the supply of necessities to the boys
at the front.
The War Savings Campaign has
just begun. It is already doing so
much, think what it will do when we
really get behind it the way we will
when we appreciate its Importance.
Buy more War Savings and Thrift
Stamps-They will win the war.

Judging from the favorable c

Judging from the favorable COM
ments upon our "old hen" editorial
yesterday, there are many people
more than we dreamed of-who are
suffering from this predatory old bird.
Mr.. Carbery is urging the passage of
city ordinance to protect the help
less public apainst this pest. We
certainly concur in his effort. Why
should n neiGhhor's old hen and chick
ems be allowed to run at large and
scratch up your garden? Why should
you be forced to build a wire fence
around your garden costing S25 when
every vegetable you get from YOUR
garden would not be worth much more
than the cost of the fence, if as much?
Why should not people who have hens
also provide pasture for Them Fences
to keep them in?
We respectfully urge our city
council to pass an ordinance against
this fowl (and we had almost said
fouD nuisance? 1t would be a last
ing blessing to all gardeners and
would be but just to the chicken man.

Auditor Betenbaugh is having his
troubles with the tax returns, if we
are able TO see the facts. No doubt
also, those making returns are havino
their troubles. But the auditor is
striving, as far as possible, TO have
the returns made out upon the hun
dred per cent. valuation, as he has
been instructed to do by Comptroller
General Of the State. We have said
before, and say now the auditor of
the county is doing his duty to follow
the instructions. There is, as We see
it, no other course for him to pursue
And this method is going to increase
the taxes of not few people and con-
Germs throughout the county. This is
just, no doubt, for not few made
returns too low, and thus escaped the
payment of a just share of taxes.
There is but one serious side to
the matter, ana that is: If Spartan
burg and some other counties of the
State return on the old basis, and
there be no future adjustment of the
matter, then will Union county and
all those counties that do make re-
furnc an Tho Full ,,o1,,o4:n ~. -
fer. The State levy of so many mills
is fixed If Union county pays on a
higher valuation, then will Union
county suffer. But there must be
some plan by which this inequality is
to be adjusted. The State Tax Com
mission should give the people some
light on this subject.

UNSHACkLE THE UNIVERSITIES

INlf New York Nation has used the pcu.
u nell case as the text for a discussion of
the defects in American universities, i'm the
course of which it says some things that
needed To be said
The Nation takes the same position as
that occupied by this newspaper so far as
the action OF the trustees OF the University
OF pennsylvania on the penncll degree is
concerned That action was mistaken and
cowardy. If the Nation had rcfraincd from
citing the Nearing case as cumulative
evidence OF laundering, its criticisms would
have carried greater force. Tie couduct
Of Nearing since he left the University
proves that that institution is well rid of
him. Our New York contemporary urges
the gradual changing Of the personnel of
the board Of trustees of the University and
fuller control of its affairs by the teaching
faculty. 1t says further:
But the real issue goes far decpcr I,
is a question of the spirit-this that our
universities face today. DO they or do
they not dare front the world, tho flesh 0
and the devil and defy them at need?
That is the question that trustees, racul-
ties. alumni and students alike must meet
as they look toward the new day. on
their answer hangs the influence of our
universities in a democratic world
There is no doubt that this is the great
issue that confronts the men in control of
higher education in these times of an
awakening democracy, The colleges can.
not afford to rest under the imputaton that
hey are the strongholds OF privilege and
that their teaching force is made up OF
men who dare not stand for truth and JUS
tice even at the risk OF offending those
who supply the endowments. II they do
not assert themselves they will lose all
influence just as u kept newspaper ceases
to have any influence with the political
party of which 1t Is the hired organ.
