WAKE UP, SOUTH CAROLINA
AND SIGN THE PLEDGE

Charleston-A very unique plan
has been decided on by the South
Carolina War Savings committee for
he purpose of waking up the state
Of South Carolina in the Forthcoming
intensive w. S. S. drive in June.
From June IA until June 2S it is
planned to have all church and fire
bells, factory whistles, and other
mediums of noise, ring and blow as
loudly as they know how, every day
at II O'Clock noon. Every man, wo-
man, and child in every community
IN hearing the noisy demonstration,
Will interpret it as follows:
Wake up, South Carolina! Sign
the pledge to save, and buy all the
War Savings Stamps you can. Wake
upw
The state wide concert will be q
clarion call to duty, and won't dis
turb anybody except Bill Kaiser

tious about Bill Kaiscr's welfare.

THE MISSING ENGINE

Mr.. Black, an old retired farmer,
decided to purchase an auto. Against
he advice of his wife he went to
The city alone to purchase one. When
It arrived at the farm a mechanic
from neighboring town was cngap
ed to drive and to see that all parts
were working satisfactorily. No.
ticing slight irrcgularty in the en-.
gine, he remarked:
Lets stop moment; the engines
missing" Whereupon the aegrievcd
Mrs. Black reproachfully remarked
to her husband:
'Now, hear that, Silas-it's Just as
| told you. You should have taken
someone with you that knew about
cars. Now we have the car and the
engines missing, and what good is it
without the engine?"

LEND YOUR MONEY LITERALLY
AND TAXATION WILL BE LIGHT

1t is costing about thirteen bill.
lions of dollars year for this coun-
try to prosecute the war.
The government is raising this
money in two ways-by borrowing
and by taxation.
1t is a foregone conclusion that,
one way or the other, the government,
will get every cent it needs to win
the war, because the American peo-
pie mean to fight on to the finish
to Germany's finish.
Which means that the larger the
loans, the smaller the taxation. And
lust as every man, woman, and child
s being taxed according to his or her
means, so must all LEND according
to their means.
When you are taxed, the money is
gone from you forever. When you
lend, you will get the money back
with liberal interest.
The sane, sensible, and safe thing
to do is to invest in the Governments s
War Savings Stamps. By lending
our savings to the government, the
government is given the purchasing
power it needs to maintain the army
and navy. By investing in War Saw
igs Stamps we simply lend the money
to the most powerful, resourceful,
and the wealthiest nation in the
world, and on January /, 1923, this
nation will pay US SIS for every stamp
purchased now for SALT.
There is no safer, simpler, or more
attractive investment in the world.

BETTER BALANCED
FARMING IN ALABAMA

Here is good news from the agri-
cultural front in Southern Alabama.
Four years ago not carload of hogs
was shipped from II counties in that
section of the State. In the year
ending Aprill, 1913, 1852 carloads
of hogs were shipped from these II
counties. This change, illustrating
the better balanced agriculture made
necessary by boll-weevil ravages, is
accredited by officials of the States
Relations Service to the efforts of
the county agents of the Depart
ment and the State agricultural COL
ieges in demonstrating hog production
to farmers and showing them how to
ship hogs comparatively.

A TEST OF AMERICAS SPIRIT

Charleston-All doubts as to
whether South Carolina will succeed
in the June w. S. S. Campaign were
dispelled at the conference of War
Savings officials held at Columbia,
on June 3. There, at the call Of the
state headquarters, about 1875 cnthu-
siastic war savings workers from all
except nine counties met and dis
cussed the problem and outlined the
final plans of the forthcoming cam
paign which will be waged from June
ID to June %.
Patriotism was the dominant mood
at the conference, and it was in a
spirit of intense loyalty that the men
and women who will manage the
campaign pledged their best efforts
toward making the drive successful.
r. Goodwin Rhctt, state director of
war savings, presided at the confer
cnce, and expressed himself as i'm

bore a large part of the burden inn
posed by the civil conflict. With most
of the men in the war many noble
Southern woman with her own hands
and with the help of the children did
large part of the farm work.
The defendants of those women
are doing the work necessary for the
the care and comfort of the men and
boys now on the battle line. Many
of these brave sons of the South
when taken to hospitals in France
will find not only the needed appli-
ances for making them comfortable,
but will find trained nurses from
America to administer to their needs.
In this connection it is pleasing to
note the response that American
nurses are making to the bombing of
Red Cross hospitals by the Germans.
Miss Delano, director of the de-
partment of Red Cross nursing, gave
out this statement, referring to the
bombing of Red Cross hospitals: "If
the Germans believe that such meth
DDS will have any effect in deterring
American nurses from volunteering
for hospital work they are badly mis-
taken.
"Tactics of frightfulness will
merely send more and more of them
to back up our men. If it is the
German intention of frightening our
women they will find that American
women do not know how to retreat
my more than do our boys in Pic
lrdy. The enrolment of nurses will

had captured six tories. One of the
men advanced toward her, when she
shot him dead. She held the others

EYES FRONT!

In the following brief editorial The
State drives straight at the heart of
the matter. God grant in this trying
hour that "the people Of South Caro-
lima will not lose sight of the main
ISSUE"
"''Mid this tumult' the people of
South Carolina will not lose sight of
the main issue, to send to Washing
ton senator who was not doubtful
of the Righteousness of the American
cause, who was and is in hearty
agreement with President Wilson and
the majority in Congress and who,
for those reasons, can be depended
upon to sustain the President in his
leadership.
"The Democratic voters of South
Carolina who belong to no faction,
who are the overwhelming majority,
will have no difficulty in choosing a
man to fill the bill--a man in whose
utterances about the war there is
nothing to defend and nothing to ex-
plain, against whose course has been
set no question mark!
THE voters will not lose sight OF

PLENTY OF SODA AND SMOKES
BUT NO CHEWING TOBACCO

Frances pet drings, champagne
md red wine, are going to turn an
absinthe green with jealousy this
summer when the Great American
Drink begins fizzing laong the battle
front and going over the top of the
glasses. So it is sure thing when
the heat Of June begins to give the
American soldier boys an awful
thurst, they will turn gratefully from
the trenches to the "Y" huts where
they received hot chocolate last win
ter, and there they will clamor Of
the Red Triangle secretaries for
"strobry" or razzbry sody" soon.
Possibly to assure plenty of foam,
the same cablegram ordered the Y.
M. c. A. to send one ton shaving
soap. Among the other creature COM
forts for soldirs required in France
are ten tons of chocolate bars, ten
tons granulated sugar, ten tons Of
Hour, ten tons Of assorted cigarettes
and five tons of smoking tobacco.
1t will be noted that no chewing
tobacco is ordered. This is not the
prejudice on the part of the soldiers
against the Amsrican bao.t which
panied Dickens so much. No, no.

soldier after a front line adventure.
So chewing tobacco is no longer pop
ular at the front in France.

"Tanlac is fine medicine for sto-

mend it as such to anyone" said Miss
Ienn Burns, of Greer, S. c., in a
statement endorsing Tanlac. 81 was
troubled with nervousness and weak
spells before I took Tanlac. I am q

.ng and it brought me these troubles.
Indigestion also troubled me lot
and my appetite had left me. Ger

mcnsely gratified at the fine spirit of
cooperation shown.
From now on, until June %, war
savings activities will be the chief
concern of the people of South Caro-
lima. The fact that President Wilson
deemed it necessary to impress the
people with the Importance of the
war savings movmcnt by issuing a
special appeal has caused the public
to awaken to the seriousness of the
campaign. 1t is pointed out that
signing the war savings pledge is
not only a pledge to savc-but
pledge of loyalty, of determination to
see the war through. Morally, as
well as materially, it is looked upon
as critical test of Amcrca's spirit.

THE LOYALTY OF THE SOUTH

There are so many evidences and
examples of the loyalty of the whole
nation at this crisis in our national
life that every patriotic heart has
cause to rejoice.
That the South is heart and soul
in this war is evidenced by the re-
sponces that came from the call of
the Red Cross. Here, for instance,
is little town in Georgia the quota
of which was $4,000 But that lit
tie town, with the big name of Bos-
ton, raised for the Red Cross ST.
18O.8O.
From Mississippi comes this cheer
ing note of the fervent patriotism. A
meeting was held at Aberdeen by
the Confederate veterans, forming
"The First Mississippi Confederate
Company" Here is a copy of the
resolution adopted:
At meeting of the Confederate
veterans of Monroe County it was
resolved that they offer their ser
vices to President Wilson and the
United States Government and ask
him to use them in any way that he
saw fit in order that they might help
win the war.
In forwarding this resolution to
Congressman Gambler, of Mississippi,
the following letter was sent with
the list of names of the veterans:
Herewith please find list of the
members of the First Mississippi
Confederate Company" which COM
pany, as you will observe, is made up
Of old Confederate veterans of Mon
roe County, Miss. They are the men
who in days gone by wore the gray,
but now they want to don khaki.
"They are Offering themselves to
the President, to be used in any ca
pacity in which he may direct, for
the purpose of winning this war"
Mr.. Gambler made a fervent, pa
triotic speech in reference to this
matter from which we make this ex-
tract:
when look at our surroundings
as they are today, VIXEN the boYs
from the North and the boys from
the South, the East, and the West
are all gathering together to bring
about the great victory which is
ahead of US; when I see our beloved
Woodrow Wilson; our honored Vice
President, Thomas r. Marshall; our
great speaker, Champ Clark; our
splendid leader on the Democratic
side, Claude Kitchin; and our genial
leader on the Republican side, Fred
erick H. Gillett, standing shoulder to
shoulder and heart to heart, backed
up by all the membership of this
House, pressing forward in one solid
phalanx to aid in every possible way
to secure decisive victory so greatly
desired, feel and know that trium-
phant victory is coming and that it
will be ours"

Here's to the Red of it
There's not a thread of it,
No; nor a shred of it

From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it red.
Here's to the White of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
But feels the might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it;
Purity's prayer for it
Kept it so white.
Here's to the blue Of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honesty's hue of it,
Constant and true.

Here's to the soul Of it
