Townville, July 1-Editor Keowee
Courier: We have thought for some
time Of writing an article for your
paper, but the pressure OF business
prevents us from doing many things
We would like to do. ! may write for
your valuable paper again some time,
but right now | wish to mention
fact that exists in a very small terri
tory IN Oconee county, near Town
vile, in which lives a we'll to do far
mer who, when asked by the COM
mittee to buy bonds, replied that he
would "buy from the committee at
Seneca; and when asked by the
Seneca committee he would reply
that he would "buy from the commit
tee at Townville." After investiga-
ton we find that he and some of his
neighbors have bought from no one.
A thing of this kind at time like
this makes patriotic neighbor a lit
tie indignant; and not only us, but
Seneca as we'll, for am told by good
authority that they have named that
little section of the county occupied
by these tight-wads "Slackersville."
Now, Mr.. Editor, we think this
thing should be investigated, and If
tHeIe are Hlen VINO Will not ana the
government by buying bonds and
stamps, the different committees
should expose them through the
press, so the whole country will
know who they are.
In the last drive (for W.S.S.) they
would not subscribe for any. One OF
the committee reports that every one
In the district has been visited, both
black and white, and only three re-
fused to buy, and they are white men
land owners-and in good circum-
stances.
If The Courier did not see and
publish IT. NJ. Welborn's letter that
he sent In with $1,000 for W.S.S. it
would be we'll to do so yet. 1t could
be obtained from j. d. Hammet, and
no doubt would do them good. A
man who will not do his part in this
war should go over into the Pendle-
ton section and look up Mat Morris
and talk with him. His boys, like
many others, are now in France.
They have gone between us and de-
struction. like going down in a we'll.
When they put their feet on the soil
over the water they looked back and
said, "You keep your hands on the
windlass by buying bonds and
stamps and we will do our part over
here Townville.

condemning the entente for aiding

obstacle to peace, because the allies

LUGA is CAPTURED.
Luga, half way between Pskov and
Petrograd, has been occupied by the
Germans.
A number Of British subjects have
left Petrograd for home during the
last week. Tie embassies still re-
main.
The Bolshevik continue extremely
busy engaging men, gathering and
shipping arms and supplies and in
other defense activities.
A dispatch from Moscow says that
10000 revolutionary troops have been
sent from Moscow toward Bologoic.
A German detachment has appeared
at Savage, half way between Luga
and Pskov. This Is the nearest the
invaders have approached to Petro-
grad, where factory workers, men and
women are enrolling for the defense
of the capital.
WoRKMEN WILL FIGHT.
There 10 q sitter attitude among
the wcrknien, from whom, il at all,
resistance to the Germans must come.
Even though for lack Of training
their resistance should prove of little
value, they are said to be enrolling
with enthusiasm in response to the
call Of the bolsheviki leaders.
The correspondent OF the Daily
News, writing Sunday. says:
Russian troops almost without ex.
ception have refused fatty to fight.
A division which was supposed to be
defending Narva has arrived at CAT
china. Ensign Krylenko protested.
They replied they did not intend to
fight.
Immediately the first few Ger
man troops appeared the Russian
peasant soldiers, who being peasants,
not industrialists, were interested
merely in the land question and cared
nothing for the revolution, started
eastward in an uncomfortable wave,
threatening to sack all the towns on
the way.
"The Russian army was Germany's
strongest weapon. In driving it
towards Petrograd they were driving
a herd of stampeding cattle which
would tranple down everything in its
way.

have put up real fight against he
Germans, but they could do nothing

are eager to fight"
Some correspondents describing the
bulk of the population as lest in be-
wilderment and apathy. think such
resistance as may be offered will
amount to little. They say no amount
of talk by the bolshevik leaders can
cover the plain facts of the situation.
"All sorts of preparations are in

thinking, however, that the state of
siege in Petrograd will be merely
technical, as Germans, with or with
