Stop talking about 'old time" and

time.
War savings stamps ar enow s4.l0
The price has not gone up. Last month
IL took Si.14 TO earn cent a month
at compounded interest before the date
of maturity and now 1t takes si.lo
that is all. But the point is-buy the
stamps-buy thrift stamps at 25 cents
each and add to them until they be-
come war savings stamps.
There has been a tremendous lot OF
blowing all along the road from York
Vile to Chester. There are a few
fields that have not been plowed. but
not many. Already a considerable
amount OF fertilizer has been put ir
for cotton. The cloddy condition of the
plowed up soil in many cases indicates
that the farmers have been too I'M
patient to wait for properly dryinf

Rev. D. G. Phillips, ID. d., pastor ol
the Associate Reformed church o.
Chester, devoted all of his last Sunda,
morning sermon to the duty OF th'
citizen in connection with the grea
war. He said that 1t was the duty o
every American who could not go Il
the from, to buy Liberty bonds or wa,
savings stamps. and that people wh'
will neither fight or help the peopl'
who do fight, are slackcrs Of the wors
description, unworthy OF American
citizenship.

when the land has been in condition
70 plow. This In especially true In
Kings Mountain and Bethel townships,
where there are many acres already In
shape for fertilizers and for seed.
Hundreds of automobile parties were
on the roads Sunday afternoon. The
orkville- Glover road was especially
popular with the automobilists. But
that road Is in anything but good
condition for pleasure driving. 1t. Is
full OF ruts and bumps and the auto
mobile driver finds the driving any
thing else than pleasant. Just a few
draggings of the road would put II in
fairly good condition. provided the
dragging was done soon after rains had
soitened the roadway.
A few days ago Here and There got
hold OF a story that is being circulated
by word of mouth to this effect:
MIR. - has it straight from high
authority that If the Germans win
over the Allies. they are going to
pletely suppress the Roman Ca
tholic church" 1t is easy to see the
motive Of such a story in a country
like this where there are no Catholics
and where there Is strong feeling
against that sect. But sensible
men should think. In countries where
the Catholics are strong. prominent
men" are no doubt telling that when
Germany wins. Roman Catholicism is
to be made the state religion Of the
world. People are indeed foolish to
listen to stuff like this in times like
these. When the Germans win. II they
do win. they are going to make slaves
OF all the people who are not Ger
mans.

MeLENpoN AND PLEpGER

The NcLendon- Pledger meeting ir
Chester, as elsewhere, Is proving q
great success in that the people are
attending in large numbers and in.
terest is increasing steadily.
At first there was some opposition
to the meeting. That Is always the
case. The opposition comes usual,
from people who have incorrect con-
ceptions of Mr.. McLendon and his
methods. Generally they consider that
he Is a sensationalist, dependent upon
the stirring up Of strife as means OF
awakening interest. They are homes,
about the matter; but wrong, and
when they see that they were wrong
their opposition subsidies. Such opoo-
sition as there was in Chester has al
churches are working In harmony with
the evangelist.
There Is one serious drawback Ia
the meeting. The big tent was de-
stroyed In q cyclone some time back
and although another has been pur-
chased and shipped, 1t has not yet ar
rived. The meeting Is being held in
the opera house. which will hold only
about 1000 people. The building Is
filled to capacity at every service. and
many people are turned away. II Is
necessary to go early In order to secure
standing room. That operates against
the growth Of such interest as facili-
tated by the big tent where people can
get close enough to hear even If they
cannot get q seat.
There WIS q tremendous crowd at
last Sunday afternoons service. II
was the for men only service. Ches-
ter people came out in large numbers
and the people came from all the coun-
try surrounding In automobiles and
other means Of conveyance: but not
half the crowd could find seats.
Mr.. McLeLdon has not yet decided
how long the meeting will continue,
and II will go on for another week at
least and maybe two or three weeks

Third place was taken by Hallum
smith Of Smoak, Colleton county. who
produced 1862 bushels.
Announcement of the winners In the
contest which was made last Saturday,
has been somewhat delayed by the
loss Of certain records, which neces-
STATED the collection Of duplicates.
Prize winners in the Pig club contest
will be decided next week and dinner
for the prize winners in the two or
ganizations will be given by L. L.
Baker, director Of the club work in
South Carolina, within the immediate
| future.
Young Willingham produced his
corn at an actual cost Of lis cents
per bushel. His prizes will be a gold
medal by Congressman A. F. Lever,
and an International Harvester Com
pany No. 4, six shovel, pivot axle, rid
Ing cultivator, valued at $40.
| Estimated cost of Drafiin's corn was
25.5 cents per bushel. He will receive
a beautiful gold watch, the gift Of the
Mixson Seed Company Of Charleston.
| Smiths corn cost 35.6 cents per
bushel A check for s25 will be the
reward, this being the gift Of the H.
G.. Hastings Seed Company Of Atlanta,
Gs.
During the year more than 1000
boys were enrolled In the Corn clubs
of the different counties Of the state.
Fewer than one half of the boys COM
| piled with the rules and regulations
of the club. The sol reporting raised
26,Sl3 bushels Of corn, valued at $1O.-
936. The average yield was So bushels
per acre and the average cost 40.1
cents per bushel. The report Of L. L.
Baker, director Of the clubs, to w. w.
Long, director of extension work at
Clemson college, follows:
II beg leave to submit here,
with my annual report on boys
Corn club work in South Carolina, for
3tfeyea-fsf-fs shows thae cid61 ssfl
were organized in So Of the 46 coun-
ties Of the state. We failed to secure
organizations in Abbeville, Berkeley,
Beaufort, Edgefleld, Georgetown,
Greenville, Calhoun, Kershaw and
Laurens, for the reason that the first
six counties were without county
agents, and in the latter three we
failed to secure the cooperation Of the
county agents.
| I'm the 36 counties organized, We se-
cured an enrolment Of 1,066 boys. Re-
ports were received from 80 Of the 36
counties organized. Counties failing
to report were: Bamberg, Hampton,
Lancaster and Oconee. Five hundred
and one boys completed reports In
these 80 counties. these being Al per
cent Of the total enrolment. The bO1
boys reporting produced 26,813.20
bushels Of corn at total cost OF $1O,-
1866. thus averaging SO bushels per
| acre, at an average cost OF 40.7 cents
per bushel.
Putting corn at 81 per bushel,
which is q conservative price, the net
| wealth added to the state as q result
Of the boys Corn club work Is 49,
698.47."

Reports from German high political
sources quote junkcr leaders as saying
that the price of peace has advanced
as the result Of the recent German
successes That kind Of talk is to be
expected. but 1t can have very little
effect on American common sense.
Americans very well understand that
the price of German success will mean
nothing but German domination Of the
world. Americans know that If the
Germans are successful, America will
have to pay the price Of peace in loss
Of self respect. liberty and money.
The money cost does not matter much;
but the other things do. and America
Is not going to submit to German con-
quest Americans are not at oil con-
cerned as to German peace terms.
That Is all.

Il is now definitely known that the
American troops. or more than one
hundred thousand OF them at least are
on their way to take their places with
the French and British against the
German lines. Just where the Amer
leans are or how long II will take them
TO reach the lighting. has not been
definitely stated: but 1t Is quite pos
siblc that they are already becoming
engaged. The Americans are describ-
cd as being wildly enthusiastic over
the opportunity to get into active
work. They want TO fight. and they
want to fight now. The next few days
will no doubt bring news OF what they
are doing and although this news Will
include news OF casualties. il will also
tell OF heroic courage and devotion OF
which all America will have a right
To be proud.
