WAR SAVINGS
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Total Almost $3OO,O0O Sub
scribed In Henry Coun-
ty Alone.

A grand total somewhat in excess
OF $290,000 is the amount of War
Savings pledges to date as shown
by figures in the hands of Barton and
Bruce.
Approximately $4,000 had been
pledged prior to the big drive on the
2Sth of June, therefore the amount
realized on this one day is around
$220,000 and while Henry County
did not "go over the top" she likes a
lot Of being at the foot Of the class,
and it is confidently expected that the
full amount will not only be pledged
but PAID by December 31st.
Other figures in the possession of
the County Chairman show that their
splendid organization which is COM
posed Of the best and most efficient
workers throughout the county, has
marketed from the End and 3rd Lib
erty Loans and from War Savings
Stamps, almost three-quarters of a
million dollars.
Special mention should be made of
Arzo Rigsby, of Henry, Tennessee
who left to answer the call of his
country on Wednesday, but before
doing so bought one Thousand dollar,
worth of War Savings Stamps. Young
Rigsby comes from the old 9th civil
district which is not only sending
scme of her best young blood to the
front, but under the able Leadership
of Mr.. R. B. Chrisman and others
has invested heavily in war securi
ties.
It is to be noted with regret tina
there are still some stubborn individ
uals who have held out on their coun
-ly in her hour of need. In fact ther,
are some who have not bought dol
lars worth of war securities. Other
...ave bought ridiculously small
amounts as compared with their abil
ity, and in each and every instanc,
where this is brought to the attention
Of Messrs. Barton and Bruce, the,
are reporting the matter in strict &C
eordance with government instruc
ticns.

SHIELDS HAS NOT
ENDORSED COOPER
Had No Part In Effort to Sc
cure Nashville Lawyer
Position.

The published report that Sena-
tor Shields had recommended the APP
pcint.nent of young Robin Cooper
to responsible position proved to be
in keeping with large part OF the
"ycllow" Tennessean and other sheets
of It's kind over the state.
The only purpose that the Tennes.
scan had in view was to open the old
Peterson -Carmack political fued,
hoping to arouse the prejudices OF
democrats over the state who sup
roi ed Carmack and turn them to
Rye. This is indeed small dirty poll
ties which should and will be resent
ed at the polls. The following to the
Banner from their Washington cor
respondent is self explanatory:
Washington, July 8.-"The publi-
cation in the Nashville Tennessean
that Senator John X. Shields has en-
dorsed Robin j. Cooper of Nashville,
for Judge Advocate with the rank OF
Major in the war department, or for
some other position in the govern

= HARMON DRUG co.

We call attention to the half page
advertisement of the Harmon Drug
Co., carried in this issue. This is
one of Lexington's most up-to-date
and best equipped business houses
and deserves the large patronage and
successful career it has attained. The
manager DR.. Rice B. Harmon is a
Lexington boy, born and reared on
the same spot his store now stands
and has attained his success by hard
work and close attention to business.
Graduating from the Maryland Col
lege of Pharmacy of Baltimore in
1902 DR.. Harmon was at once given
a position in one Of the largest drug
stores in the city of Baltimore as pre-
scription clerk, position he gained
on account of the high average made
in his class room work. Afterwards
he held like positions in Washington,
D. c., Hendersonville, N. c., and at
Thomas Drug Store in Columbia,
finally resigning to come nome. and
accept a position as manager of the
Kaufman Drug Co., which position
he held until the death of DR.. Julian
E. Kaufman, when the business was
sold to DR.. Harmon and reorganized
as the Harmon Drug Co. This busi-
ness has gradually grown under the
efficient management of DR.. Harmon
until now it is recognized as one Of
the best drug stores between Colum-
bia and Augusta. DR.. Harmon's per-
feet service and untiring energy has
gained a reputation and patronage
that any man should feel proud of.
He offers his customers the advan-
tage of his long experience and thor
ough training matter of vital i'm
portance in the drug business.
